Print Preview using crystal report in SAP B1 slow.

Dear all,
I face another problem. Print preview using crystal report in SAP B1 is very slow. Although i have create a query view in SQL server but it's still slow for my user. First time i create using table in crystal report. just drag the table. It's take more than 10 minutes. After that i move all the query to view in SQL server , it's take 1-2 minutes to print preview some time more.. But i think that it's still slow. Does any one know how to print preview fast. Just like in PLD.
Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Basically Crystal report run with SQL statement, I would suggest to do well performance tuning on SQL query / Store Procedure.
    Structure your query in DBA manner that will make some how faster such as use ( inner join, less condition,...)..
    also if it simple query then use Command in Crystal report rather store Procedure..that make some how Faster your report.
    Thanks

  • Print preview using Crystal Report

    Hello All,
    In SBO 8.8 or in 2007 with add-on (like B1UP) it is possible to have a cystal report launched by the preview buttons. It works perfectly when the document is stored in the DB, the preview is blanked if you don't have the document validated (created in SAP).
    In PLD this functionnality is available with the screen variables, is there a way to have it in crystal report?

    Hello Gordon.
    Thanks for response but it doesn't answer the question.
    Question is : is it possible to use the print preview functionnality in crystal without creating a document in the database (as it is possible in layout designer) ?.
    I know that the preview will work when I created the document in the DB.
    Regards,
    Arnaud

    Hi Shekhawat....
    Through Query Crystal report it is not possible to view the Layout as Draft withou adding teh docs because Report fetch the details only when itys value goes to Database Table......

  • Can't Print preview draft crystal report.

    Print preview draft crystal report.
    Error message:
    One or more fields could not be found in the result set.
    Use verify database to update the report. Error in file POR20009. Rowset column could not be found.
    It occurs when trying to print (or preview) a DRAFT document with the report being a Crystal report.  No problems when the document is NOT a draft.  This happens on both SAP 8.8 PL16 and PL17.
    Updating the report and saving it again (as suggested by the error message) does not fix the problem.
    The DRAFT or u201CNORMALu201D document type uses the same Crystal report.   Something seems to be different when passing parameters from a Draft report?
    I can preview DRAFTS and NORMAL reports from the Crystal Editoru2019s preview pane.  This is only happening when launching from within SAP.
    Is this a bug?

    Hi Maeve,
    Can you please help by posting what exactly was the solution to this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Error print preview a crystal report

    Hi,
    I have an issue where i log in as a user with admin rights and try to print preview a crystal report that was created. It prompts me to log into the database, when i do this gives me a login incorrect oracle error. But when i log in as administrator i am able to do this.

    Hi,
    Additional Info:
    CR 2008 SP3 is called by an application using .net. The Application passes a couple of parameters to the CR report. I'm able to preview the report. All the reports use the same set of parameters.

  • Need alternative for activex print control using Crystal reports 2008

    I have created a .Net web application (2.0/3.5 .Net framework) with crystal reports 2008.
    Reports are viewed using Crystal reports 2008 activex viewer.
    On click of PRINT icon in activex viewer, activex print control download prompt will be displayed on client machine.
    I need to avoid downloading of activex print control on client machine. Is there any other alternative or option to use print functionality in viewer without downloading activex print control on client machine?
    Or Is there any other workaround for print functionality in Crystal reports 2008 Viewer without downloading activex print control?
    Note: Activex print control download prompt will not be displayed when using Crystal reprots XI Release 2 version.
    Thanks,
    Jagannath

    Does anyone know which files need to be registered for the ActiveX print control?  We occasionally have users who somehow break their Crystal ActiveX controls, and they can no longer see the print options.  In Crystal 10, I was able to fix these issues by pushing a package which registered several files on the user's computer.

  • Print Draft Document using Crystal Report in SAP 8.8

    I created a Crystal Report Layout using SQL View as data source for AR Invoice which prints out fine. (everthing on 1 page)
    To print Draft Invoice, I copied the view to use ODRF/RDF1 instead of OINV/INV1, copied the Crystal report and updated the data source to the new view. When print Draft Invoice, it prints 3 pages - page 1 blank, page 2 just the "DRAFT" watermark, page 3 the crystal report without watermark.
    Steps to print Draft Invoice: Sales-A/R > Sales Report > Document Drafts Report > Open selected Draft Invoice document > File > Select Layout and Print...
    What is happening behind the scene when printing Draft documents? What is the correct way to print Drafts (e.g. special settings designing Crystal Reports)?
    Thanks,
    Grace

    Thank you for your reply. It works in this specific report.
    But we have both PLD and Crystal Report in the system, changing the settings means the PLD will lose their watermark...
    Also, I don't know how the Draft is displayed, but when select Print Preview for Draft, it's asking for parameter (DocEntry), which I have setup a DocKey@ in Crystal Report and set it in the Selection Manager. Does SAP provide DocEntry in Draft Invoice (ODRF) the same way as in Invoice (OINV)?
    Thanks,
    Grace

  • Printing Extremely Slow Using Crystal Reports 2008 ActiveX Print Control

    Problem:
    We are trying to upgrade our existing Crystal Reports 10.0 ActiveX Viewer ASP based reports to the new Crystal Reports 2008 ASPX Report Viewer but are having print performance issues that have prohibited us from moving forward.
    Environment:
    Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition 32-bit with SP1
    IIS 6.0 running ASP .NET version 2.0.50727
    Crystal Reports 2008 SP0 with FP1
    Crystal PrintControl.dll version 12.0.0.796 (verified on server and client)
    Details:
    Crystal Reports 2008 ASPX Report Viewer Object & ActiveX Print Control Report Printing Scenario
    From a typical 27 page report, the user clicks the Print icon from the ASPX Report Viewer Object.
    The Print window with the message Crystal Reports Print Control immediately appears on the screen.  This window is on the screen for approx 30 seconds.
    The Print Setup window finally appears on the screen.  The user verifies the printer, chooses to print pages 1-5, and clicks the Print button from the window.
    The Retrieving page 1 message appears in the Print window.  The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
    The Printing page 1 message appears in the Print window.  The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
    The Printing page 2 message appears in the Print window.  The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
    The Printing page 3 message appears in the Print window.  The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
    The Printing page 4 message appears in the Print window.  The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
    The Printing page 5 message appears in the Print window.  The message is in the window for less than 1 second.
    After 3 MINUTES of waiting the report finally starts printing.
    Crystal Reports 10 ASP ActiveX Report Viewer Report Printing Scenario
    From the same typical 27 page report that was used in the Crystal Reports 2008 scenario, the user clicks the Print icon from the ASP ActiveX Report Viewer.
    The Print window Immediately appears on the screen.  The user verifies the printer, chooses to print pages 1-5, and clicks the Print button from the window.
    The Print window Immediately disappears from the screen and the report Immediately starts printing.
    The entire print process takes only 3 u2013 4 SECONDS.
    Even  though we are trying to get the users to decrease the amount of paper used in report printing.  They still do a significant amount of printing.  The difference between the print performance using Crystal Reports 10 (3-4 seconds) and Crystal Reports 2008 (3 minutes) is totally unacceptable to our users.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a known fix for it?  This is the only thing holding us back from our upgrade and it has become very frustrating to us.
    Much thanks to anyone that can shed some light on this.

    Hi Brian,
    Please have a look at [this|Crystal 11.5 Activex control for viewer; post.
    However, have you tried with the No Printer options available in Print Options window from designer?

    Atanu.

  • Reporting in SAP HCM using Crystal Reports

    We have decided to use Crystal Reports for SAP HCM Objective Settings and Appraisal component.
    What will be the best option to access SAP HCM Tables using Crystal Reports?
    Regards
    Faisal

    Hi,
    I have to assume that you've followed the Admin guide and given sufficient Authorizations (as per the detailed list)
    Actually, there are quite a few related notes about this, if you search in SDN or via SMP: www.service.sap.com/notes or /x-search . for example:
    1334461 - After upgrading SAP R/3 ECC5 to version ECC6, the Integration Kit transport package /Crystal/BC was found in DELETED OBJECTS and Crystal ODBC connection cannot view or browse any tables 
    1374874 - Cannot see the SAP tables, clusters or functions in Crystal Reports
    here's a suggestion:
    using the Database Options:
    When creating a new report, in the Database Expert window, click on SAP Table, Cluster, or Function
    Log on to an SAP system
    Once connected, right click on the connection created and select Options
    In the Options window, in the Data Explorer area, use the Table name LIKE field to select only a subset of data.
    Type the full or partial name of the tables you are looking for
    Use the percentage sign (%) to denote any number of characters
    Use the underscore (_) to denote one characters
    Once done, click OK to accept the change.
    Back to the Database Expert window, right click on the connection and select Refresh
    Regards,

  • Useing Crytal Report in SAP B1

    Hi, everybody !
    I want to use Crytal Report to report. have i to use it?
    Can you tell me an examlpe!
    Thank you!

    The steps to use crystal report in SAP B1:
    1. Creating addon or report form that is integrated to SAP B1. This is an interface.
    2. Creating a report launcher that can be a form listing the reports
    3.Prior to creating report launcher and addon, you must develop the layout of crystal report and database connection setting
    Usually, there is no crystal report created without integrated to SAP B1 except using addon or interface.
