Problems using Dynamic parameters with Crystal Reports and SBO 8.8

Has anyone been able to successfully use a dynamic parameter in Crystal Reports with 8.8 using the Business One connector? When we try we get an additional logon to the database that pops up and the logon fails.
We need this because we want to return live lists of PO documents from the server for selection. We are also trying to use nested dynamic parameters, because we want to first return the PO document based on the PO number, and then chose specific rows based on a field value in POR1.
It works if we don't use the Business One connector, but then the report doesn't function properly inside of SAP.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have tried using tokens but they are too simple. I need something like a subselect where you first select one value and then another that is a subset of those values. Apparently the tokens can't even use a "where" clause.
SAP dances around Dynamic parameters, but won't come out and say that they can't be used with the B1 connector. If that is the case then they should just say so and stop wasting our time. Apparently Crystal is not truely interfaced with B1, just sort of hanging out with it.
I don't really care other than I have to do this select, subselect. If someone has a way to do that with tokens I would love to hear it.
Thanks,
Roy

  • Dynamic Parameters in Crystal Reports

    Post Author: Suresh Babu
    CA Forum: General
    Hi,
    Iam working in Business Objects Crystal Reports XI.
    I faced a problem when dealing with the multi value parameter.
    Iam taken a parameter it allows to choose multiple values from user.
    after selecting the values how to send these values to stored procedure.
    if iam selecting one value it retrieves the data perfectely. But if we select more than one value it does not retrieves any rows.
    ex: iam taking a parameter name @AlgorithmCode
    if iam select AlgorithmCode it retrieves the the data, if iam select more than on e AlgorithmCodes as  parameters its not working.
    If any one knows please help out.
    Thanking You
    Suresh Babu

    Hi,
    assuming all what you are using in the Crystal Report are tables using the OpenSQL connection (Table, ..) then you should be able to create the parameters as dynamic in Crystal Reports.

  • Creating OLAP report with Crystal Reports and SQL Server Analysis Services 2005

    Post Author: orahc_mao
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    Hi!
    I am currently using the trial version of the Crystal Reports XI and I wanted to do an OLAP report. The problem is I cannot select a cube using "OLAP Connection Browser" (the popup window). I already selected Microsoft OLE DB Provider and entered the server name but still can't connect.
    I don't think the problem is with SQL Server Analysis Services (2005) since Microsoft Excel - Import Data can detect the server as well as the cube I have created.
    I also tried the "Database Expert" of Crystal Reports, created an OLE DB (ADO) connection with "OLE DB Provider for OLAP Services 8.0" driver, entered the server name, checked the integrated security and then I can readily select the database created at SQL Server Analysis Services. However, I still need the OLAP grid create the report but it goes back to my original problem... selecting a cube.
    I hope somebody would help me with this issue.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello,
    I don't recognize those variables as CR ones so it's likely something the original developer is setting in code.
    You'll have to discuss with that person.
    If your have SDK issues then post your question to one of the .NET or Java SDK forums.
    Thank you

  • Problem connecting to salesforce with crystal reports

    I have downloaded the java Java SE Development Kit 6u7 (First Customer Ship) and then downloaded crystal reports. Every time I try to connect to saleforce via CR it takes about 10 minutes and then I get this error message: invalid argument provided, java server startup failure, verify the path (jdk), classpath,and IORfilelocation in the crconfig.xml file, In addition verify you are using JDK 1.5
    What can I do to solve this problem? Please help me! Thank you

    Fahad,
    I do not think you need to reinstall the CR application, but I would suggest to apply the following knowledgebase article steps. Couple of comments: 1. you do not have to delete CRConfig.xml on the second step - just rename it to CRConfig.old   2. You do not have to download new driver - you already have one, just reinstall it.
    1197347 - Error: "Invalid Argument provided. Details: Java Server startup failure.."
    when connecting to Salesforce.com from Crystal Reports XI
    Symptom
    When attempting to connect to a valid Salesforce.com professional account from Crystal Reports XI, the following error message appears:
    "Invalid Argument provided. Details: Java Server startup failure. Please verify the PATH (JDK), CLASSPATH and IORFileLocation properties in the CRConfig.xml file. In addition, please verify you are using JDK 1.4."
    Cause
    The error message is caused by an older version of the Crystal Reports Salesforce.com driver not connecting with professional accounts. Other error messages may include "Failed to establish a connection."
    Resolution
    To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
    Close Crystal Reports.
    Verify that you have at least version 1.4 of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) by opening Internet Explorer and clicking on Tools > Sun Java Console. If the Java Console Message says "Java Plug-in 1.4.0_00. Using JRE version 1.4.0_00 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM" or higher you are using the correct version of the JRE. 
    Go to the appropriate directory for your version of CRXI and back up the CRConfig.xml file, then delete it.
    If you are using CRXI R1, the directory will be C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\Java, and if you are using CRXI R2 the directory will be C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\Java.
    Reopen Crystal Reports; CR will recreate the CRConfig.xml file when you reopen the program. When the "Installing" message box disappears, close CR.
    Search for sfdc.msi on your computer. This is the installation file for the Salesforce.com driver. When you double-click this installation file, you will be asked whether you want to repair or uninstall the Salesforce.com driver. Uninstall the driver. Delete all existing sfdc.zip files or unzipped sfdc files and directories including the sfdc.msi file you just executed.
    Download the latest version of the Crystal Reports Salesforce.com driver, available from http://ftp1.businessobjects.com/outgoing/sales/sfdc_driver.zip. Unzip the zipfile to a convenient temporary location that you will be able to find; for example, your desktop.
    Run the new sfdc.msi installation file; the installation file will install the latest version of the Salesforce.com drivers.
    You should now be able to connect with Salesforce.com from CRXI using a valid username and password.

    Hi....I have just bought a netbook and my wireless connection that I use at home is via an airport express that works brilliantly on my 2 macs however with the new netbook the connection is intermittent even though it always says its connected to my wireless network.
    I am completely hopeless with pc's and just needed a netbook for occasional use but wish I new why sometimes the internet works on it on the airport network and othertimes it doesnt. I have removed all firewalls and still have the same problem.
    Anyone know a solution or what may be happening as I am at a loss as to why it intermittenty works even though it always says the connection is excellent.
    The macs work just fine!!

  • How do you overcome problems using Photoshop Elements with Win 7 and Eyefinity display?

    I have a 3 screen Eyefinity setup on a PC running 64bit Win 7 with 16gb RAM and an AMD Radeon 7950 graphics card and Phenom II x4 processor.
    I struggle to get a stable PSE10 to work on this setup.
    I bought a combined set of Photoshop and Premier Elements 10 and although installed it always crashed when I saved images with the error message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 has stopped working". I recently did a fresh install of Windows 7 and decided I had to solve the Photoshop problem.
    I installed Premier 64 bit version from disk 2 and Photoshop Elements from disk 1 and then ran compatability checker. Under compatability settings for Win XP srv pack 3 it starts although with some toolbar errors and top and bottom of screen transparent instead of solid. I can save files worked on but then still get the error when I exit Photoshop Elements.
    Has anyone had similar and solved the problem? Tech Support said my s/w was too old and unsupported without a service contract.

    There should be no need for compatibility mode; pse10 is designed to run on W7. Try making a direct shortcut for the Editor. You can then launch the program directly from the desktop bypassing the welcome screen. This is generally better as the welcome screen leaves background processes running.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Then click the browse button and navigate to:
    "C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
    Then click Next; then click Finish
    To launch, try right-clicking on the new desktop icon and choose “Run As Administrator” which often improves stability.

  • Crystal Reports Dynamic Parameters with SAP Business One

    Okay, I've got this very strange issue with dynamic parameters in Crystal Reports connected to SAP Business One.
    Let's start with the software versions:
    - Crystal Reports 12.3.0.601
    - SAP Business One 8.8 (8.80.231) SP: 00 PL: 13
    - Windows XP SP3
    (SBO Server on Windows 2003 and SQL 2005)
    What I'm about to describe is something I've tried in several reports and for which I created a very, very simple test report to see if it was reproducible in a very simple situation.
    - I connected to a Business One server through CR's SBO connection type. Logon is successful, tables are shown.
    - I pick OCRD and plac CardCode and CardName in the details section on the report. Previewing the report shows data.
    - I create a dynamic parameter on CardCode and in the Select Expert I select the CardCode field and define that that should be equal to the parameter.
    - I preview the report again. Now it asks me in such a parameter screen for logon credentials. It shows the server and database it tries to connect to and in the username it shows the SQL Server username I used to connect to the SQL Server in the first place. However, the password for that user is not accepted. I also tried to login with the Windows administrator user and with the SBO manager user, but no success with any attempt.
    I also tried to add a static parameter and add all database values to the list. Same screen, different result:
    Crystal Reports 2008 wrote:
    Logon Failed.
    Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT:
    Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. (rptcontrollers.dll)
    (On a side note: the report is saved as report1.rpt)
    Anyone else got similar issues and found a solution?

    Hi,
    When you have fixed your crystal installation following the note posted earlier, please take a look at the [how to guide|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700000882232009E.pdf] and also at the [e-learning|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700001370262010E] about SAP Business One 8.8 and Crystal Reports.
    There are so called "tokens" which you need to use instead of dynamic parameters.
    Dynamic paramters don't work in SAP Business One 8.8, if they are not defined as a static paramter with token.
    Best regards,
    Darius

  • Prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters

    Post Author: Co3023
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    How do I stop CR XI prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters. When no dynamic parameters are used CR XI isn't prompting for the DB user name and password. The report is run from an application which passes the user name and password. I am using Oracle and the problem is both with the native oracle driver and the ODBC RDO driver.

    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    I didnt ask you to change it to static I said I took the parameters totally out of the report. Saved it. Then re-enter the dynamic parameters into the report and it worked for me. That might have worked for you, not sure why you changed it to static.
    Ok I have just created a quick report using dynamic parameters, it didnt ask me for the username password.
    Can you create a sample report - just to test the db? and see if it works? add only 1 or 2 fields in the report, create parameters (dynamic) and see if it works
    why don't you embed the username and password in your application, it won't ask for username password then.

  • Crystal Reports and Authorization Problems

    I am having an issue with Crystal Reports and User Authorizations.
    I was build a Crystal Report and import into SAP Business  One (SBO 8.8 PL18 HF). After that i give full authorizations for this report in some users. Then if the user login in SBO and choose to see the report his has the following error
    You are not permitted to perform this action - "The name of the Report " [Message 200-30]
    or
    You are not permitted to perform this action - "The name of another Crystal Report " [Message 200-30]
    This happen also if I edit a crystal report and re import the new version.
    If i change the user to Super User  then there is no Problem but i don't want something like this. Is something going wrong with Import Crystal Report and SBO menu items?
    Any Idea?
    Thanks In advance
    Edited by: Apostolis Andrikos on Feb 17, 2011 1:25 PM

    Hi Balakumar,
    I had tried also with the way that you suggested...
    Only if I give full authorizations for all the modules itu2019s possible for the user to open the crystalu2026
    And I said possible because sometimes with full Authorizations everything it is ok and sometimes not.
    The most strange thing is that if I choose to open a Crystal Report  the display error as i said before is
    for another Crystal Report in SBO menu.
    e.x I choose to run a Daily Cash Report from the User
    and the ERROR Said
    "You are not permitted to perform this action - Outgoing Payments Message 200-30"
    Thanks for your Response

  • Crystal Reports and JobBoss issues?

    Iu2019m hoping someone can help find a solution to a problem we are having with Crystal Reports when using the program with JobBoss.
    We are using JobBoss version 11.3.8 along with the trial version of Crystal Reports XI. Our PC uses Windows XP. We had a Consultant develop a custom report and he uses Crystal Reports 9.
    Our problem is when we tried running the report we get an error that says: Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer: File not found
    Can someone suggest a route for us to take to resolve this issue? Is it a Crystal Reports issue or a JobBoss issue or something completely different?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Moved your post to the legacy forum.
    Likely what is happening is the application is specifically looking for the file craxddrt.dll version 9. CR XI puts that file in a new location.
    Likely the only way to fix this upgrade issue is to have the consultant look over the code or if you have the source code then find the updated dll and redirect your app to use it rather than the old one.

  • How to use dynamic parameter when a report is created using Stored Procedures

    Hi all,
    any one have the idea of how to use dynamic parameter in crystal report XI R2
    when report is created using Stored Procedure.
    Regards
    shashi kant chauhan

    Hi
    You can create an SQL command in Database Expert > Expand your datasource > Add command
    Then enter the SQL query that will create the list of values to supply to the user
    eg select field1,field2 from table
    Then edit the parameter of the report.  These will be the SP parameters adn can be seen in field explorer.
    Change the parameter type to Dynamic
    Under the word Value click on Click here to add item
    Scroll down to your Command and select one of the values that you want to appear in the list
    e.g field1
    Then click on the Parameters field - this is essential to create the param
    You can edit other options as required
    That should do it for you.
    I must say that i use CR 2008 connected to Oracle 10g SP, but i reckon this will work for SQL DB and CR XI as well
    Best of luck

  • Deploying VS 2005 Applications with Crystal Reports

    Using VS 2005 with Crystal Reports bundled, I created a web site that uses Crystal Reports. On my own web server (which I have total control over), I can deploy it using CR merged modules and everything is fine. Ultimately, however, my website is going to be hosted by another company and I am not sure if they are going to be willing to run the setup file that loads the Crystal Report dependencies (like I was able to do on my own web sever). So my question is this, is it possible to upload a website to a host provider and have CR reports work without having the host provider run a CR setup program? If this is not possible, do you know of any host providers that support CR?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    The Crystal Report .NET runtime files will need to be deployed to the eventual web host.  If your web host won't run the CR.NET deployment package then your Crystal application won't run.
    I know there are web hosts that support deploying Crystal Reports runtime packages, but I don't have any specific names to give you.  You can probably Google for some options.
    Sincerely,
    Dan Kelleher

    If I try to open the document, I retrieve the error: You are not permitted to perform this action. Authorisation Path: Help.
    I don't understand if the problem is the authorization (i am manager, superuser) or if I had write in a wrong mode the hypertext link. (maybe the Apex?)
    Anybody can help me?
