Problems with Query Properties in Crystal Reports

I have with the following features of my queries either problems or theyu2019re just not usable in Crystal Reports:
-     If I want to use more than one hierarchy.
-     If I want to use a selection on a hierarchy.
-     All my hierarchies are always just a flatten list.
-     If I want to use a predefined structure in a field.
-     If I want to use any hierarchy versions .
-     And if I want to use default / preselected values for variables in the prompt.
Are there any solutions or workarounds for these problems known?
I already tried to connect Crystal with the SAP BW via a Universe, via a direct connection and also via the SAP Integration Kit (with the MDX-flag set to active).
Thanks a lot for helping me!

  • Problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server  2008

    Dear all,
    I have problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008.
    when I created some parameters and groups in Crystal Report 2008, they showed both parameters in 'Parameter button' and group in 'Group button'  on the left, so I can choose or type without clicking 'Refresh button' But when I added it to Crystal Report Server 2008 and I click parameter button , it doesn't show any parameter. Only click refresh button to choose them. On the other hand, for 'Group Tree' is ok. When go to Default Setting-> Parameter, all parameters are in 'Unused parameter'  First time I think I had problems with my installation, but when I reinstalled it again, it was like before.
    Could any one help me with this?
    I appreciate looking forward to your reply

  • Strange problem with publication based on crystal reports, bwquery and DynR

    Hi everybody,
    I found the following behaviour when executing a publication based on a crystal reports document ontop of a BW query and dynamic receipients. This is what the personalisation looks like:
    _____________________Default Value
    PARAM1____________ null____________ @param1 based on my dynamic receipient list
    PARAM2____________  null____________ @param2 based on my dynamic receipient list
    PARAM3____________  10____________ Default value for all receipients
    When executed this happens:
    - the publication starts
    - the query is executed with the default values for the parameters
    - the query is executed for every receipient with the correct, personalised parameter values
    I am sure, the the query is executed with non personalised values because a) there is a cache entry on bw site and b) when one of the parameters is filled with an invalid default entry under personalization I get an bapi error.
    I am not 100% sure but I think this problem is new since SP3 or a 3.x fixpack. Has anyone faced the the same problem yet? Maybe Ingo knows something about it.
    Thank you very much in advance!
    Kind regards,
    Thorsten

    Hi Ingo,
    thank you very much for your reply. I am speaking of the default value entered under personalization in the publication in CMC or InfoView.
    The report only has parameters based on BEx varialbes.
    If needed I can post some screenshots.
    Kind regards,
    Thorsten

  • Problem with keydecoder.dll in Crystal Reports 2008 Trial Version

    Hello,
    My company is interested in purchasing Crystal Reports 2008 and has asked me to download and try the trial version.  However, I have been running into a keydecoder.dll problem.  Setup was smooth and here are the details:
    Problem message:
    "Crystal Reports: Application Error Couldn't load keydecoder.dll"
    I have Windows Vista and I have already configured all permissions and administrative rights to the problem to full control.  I have also attempted to drag the keydecoder.dll application extension out of win32_x86 to the file folder crystal reports 2008.  I have also already attempted to reinstall and making a new program file location named 'Crystal Reports 2008'. 
    I'm running out of ideas and would appreciate some help.  Thank you

    Hi Key,
    I have found a business objects Note 1198801.
    Please have a look to it.
    We can find Business objects Note/KBase from here
    [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?cat=sdn_ossnotes&query=&adv=true#]
    For your reference have a look to content of that Note:-
    1198801 - Error: "Crystal Reports: Application Error - Couldn't load the keydecoder.dll" when attempting to start Crystal Reports XI
    Symptom
    When attempting to start Crystal Reports XI, the following error message appears:
    "Crystal Reports: Application Error - Couldn't load the keydecoder.dll".
    Cause :
    The error message occurs because the CommonFiles entry has the wrong path in the registry.
    Resolution :
    CAUTION The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files before you edit the registry. For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys And Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
    To resolve the error message
    Click Start > Run. The Run dialog box appears.
    Type "regedit" in the Open: text field. Click OK. The Registry Editor appears.
    Navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCLAL_MACHINESOFTWAREBusiness ObjectsSuite 11.5Crystal Reports.
    Double-click the CommonFiles string. The Edit String dialog box appears.
    Ensure that the path points to the location of <installation directory>Common3.5 in.
    For example, the default location is the following: C:Program FilesBusiness ObjectsCommon3.5 in.
    Edit the path as necessary.
    Click OK. Close the Registry Editor.
    Crystal Reports starts successfully.
    Hope that helps!!

  • Problems with concurrency tests using Crystal Reports for VS 2005

    Post Author: condeagustin
    CA Forum: General Feedback
    Hi
    My name is Agustin and Im using Crystal Reports for VS 2005
    and NET 2.0 to generate pdf files. This is the scenario:
    I created a COM+ object in c# and everytime the
    COM+ creates an instance of this object, the following flow is executed:
    it reads an xml file from a database, then it feeds the report with this
    xml file, afterwards it generates a pdf file and finally this pdf file is
    inserted into the database. Both fields (xml and pdf fields) are varbinary in the
    same table in sql server 2005. All the flow from reading the xml to inserting
    the pdf into the database is executed in memory, it never goes to the hard
    disk. In other words both the xml and the pdf file are stored in memory (the
    RAM). That is the only function of that COM+ object and I already have it in a
    production server and it works GREAT!!
    The PROBLEM is the concurrency tests. I made the following tests
    in the same production server:
    1. First I went to the registry and I set the PrintJobLimit to
    100 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECrystal Decisions10.2Report Application
    ServerServer
    2. I shut down the object in the COM+ and I executed 100
    threads all at the same time. Each thread created one instance of the object in
    the COM+ and the 100 pdfs were generated SUCCESFULLY in 5 minutes!!
    3. Then I executed again 100 threads (WITHOUT shutting down the
    object in the com+). 10 pdfs were generated succesfully but the rest were
    never generated and there was no exception because my object was NEVER
    INSTANTIADED in the COM+, I mean, the 90 instances were never created in the
    COM+, so my object was never executed, THAT IS MY PROBLEM!! Do I have to
    modify something in the registry files of crystal reports to fix this? What can
    I do? I have revised the code in that object a LOT OF TIMES and believe me,
    everything is being closed and disposed at the end (the memory streams, the
    ReportClass objects, the connection to the database, even the dataset used to
    store the data of the xml file!
    So to sum up the problem is not with the execution of my object
    (cause once is created the object works great and the pdf is generated
    perfectly!), the problem is with the com+ TRYING to create another instance
    of my object given that test scenario. Help me please, What do you
    suggest?
    The production server has this specifications:
    Operative System: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 2
    Processor: Dual Core AMD Opteron 2212 2.00GHz
    RAM: 820MB
    Hard drive: It is partitioned in 2 drives --> C
    drive has 20GB and D has 60GB
    Note: Each generated pdf has only one page and if you bring it
    to disk its maximum size is 56KB
    I hope your answer and thank you

  • Problem with subrpt links in crystal reports 8.5 (cr 9 and 2008 installed)

    I am trying to add a subreport to an existing CR 8.5 report.  I currently have Cr 8.5, cr 9 and cr 2008 on my pc (xp).  The subrpt is pointing to a sql 2005 stored procedure that has a parameter (@vvcrCono).  When I try to set up the link, the parameter  is not listed in the of available parameters to link to.  I select a field from the available fields on the main report, hit the > to move it over as a field to link to, and the dropdown that contains the list of parms to link to on the subreport will change to ?pm-(fieldname).  I do not see the parm list from the subreport.  I am unable to get the link defined.  This occurs even when trying to edit an existing subreport.
    Is there a problem with running these crystal report versions on the same machine?  Or am I just missing something? It has been a while since I've used cr 8.5.

    Joanne, thank you for your posted solution and specifically your mention of miniscule scroll bar of the 'subreport parameter field to use' drop down, I had been on several forums but none of them mentioned this, my subreport now accepts the passed parameter and main report works well. Hope your post helps others as it did me, only wish we could include a graphic to illustrate this as I have seen same question posed several times and several different msg boards.

  • Problem with vertical text in crystal report viewer

    Hi,
    I am displaying vertical text in crystal report designer and deploying the report in crystal reports server 2008. The deployed report is being displayed using JAVA in crystal report viewer control.
    Problem: Vertical text header  is getting collapsed wth other vertical headers.
    Please help on this.
    Thanks,

    Hi Vijay,
    I found out another method of retaining all the chart formatting that is done in the preview pane.
    Once you have done all the changes then you will find interestingly there is a chart menu option that appears in the tool bar. Once you click on it there is an option "Apply Changes to All Charts".
    Select that option, close your preview. Open it once again and you will find that all the settings are still there and the Web Viewer is able to display them properly.
    I think that I resolved this.

  • Problem with 'B1 Tables' in Crystal Report

    Hello all,
    In Crystal reports, when selecting database for My reports I cannot use the entry 'B1 Tables', the one that displays using the hierarchy sorted like the Business One menu. When I try to expend it, Crystal reports stops working and creates the following event message:
    Faulting application crw32.exe, version 12.1.3.1028, time stamp 0x4991a897, faulting module crdb_b1.dll, version 8.80.228.0, time stamp 0x4bb3a8fe, exception code 0xc0000409, fault offset 0x000023e9, process id 0x16a8, application start time 0x01caec1ad0067bc8.
    I am using Business one 8.8 PL09 and Crystal reports Basic 2008 for Business One (version 12.1.3.1028) and the fixpack_03
    The only other option is to select tables directly from the dbo.Tables which gets the long list
    Thanks for your ideas
    Marc

    Hi,
    I have the same problem : once I have created an SAP Business One connection in Database Expert, I cannot display the list of tables, and it throws me a failure application error (crw32.exe) and close CR.
    Did you find a solution to this problem ?
    I'm using CR 2008 SP3 (trial version), Business One 8.8, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and Windws XP Pro SP3.
    Thanks,

  • Windows 2008 problems with Delphi and the Crystal Reports VCL

    Anybody had any luck with Crystal XI using the VCL on a Windows 2008 machine?
    In testing we've found that everything seems to work, except that the user can not select a different printer.  When I go to the Printer Setup button, the panel that pulls up used to have, in previous Windows versions, a printer button inside the Printer Options box.  Windows 2008 does not, so the end user can not select a different printer to print to than their default.
    Anybody have any ideas on:
    1) Am I just doing somthing wrong
    2) A fix for the Crystal XI VCL that will address the probelm
    3) An option on how to call Crystal Reports from inside a Delphi program without the VCL?
    Obviously, I'm hoping I don't have to go with #3, but if that's the only solution I guess I need to know now.

  • Problem with bar graphs in Crystal Report

    Hi All,
    I am currently working on bar graphs and i am facing problem displaying trend in the graph when there is no data for any particular date.
    My X-axis has date and y-axis has data.
    I want to display all the dates on x-Axis which is selected by the user.
    E.g.  User has selected fromDate and ToDate as 1st Aug to 10th Aug and I have Data as follows
    08/01/2008 abc
    08/03/2008 xyz
    08/05/2008 klm
    Currently my graph just shows data for 1st,3rd and 5th of August.
    I want my Graph to show all the dates from 1stAug to 10thAug on x-axis and it should not only show  data where it is but also a blank where data is not present
    Please help. Thank you.

    Hi Tenzin
    Following are the steps from where you can change the division of the axes:
    Right click on the report.
    Go to 'Chart Expert' -> 'Axes' tab.
    Select the Manual option under 'Number of divisions'.
    Change the settings so that you can get each date on the axis.
    Hope this helps you.

  • BUG? - Btrieve Gateway with Memo's in Crystal Report XI - Connector-Error

    Hello,
    we are using Crystal Report XI R2 with the Btrieve-Gateway (Pervasive 8 - 10) crdb_p2bbtrv.dll (12.0.0.683) p2bbtrv.dll (12.0.0.683).
    Now we have big problems when we use tables with memo-fields (lvar or longvarchar) in a report.
    If we run the report we get an error message "Unknown Database-Connector-Error".
    We installed already the current SP and tried it in Crystal Report 2008. But the problem still exists.
    Up to Crystal 8.5 it works fine (with the same datasource). If we connect via the ODBC-Gateway it work also fine.
    Does anybody know a solution for our problem? Manipulate the DDF's, Hotfix download, ...
    Thanks for your answers
    Gottfried

    Hello Gottfried,
    I checked our supported database part in the [supported platforms for CR 2008|https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000713358&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000202] and could not find your Btrieve-Gateway (Pervasive 8 - 10).
    So, it might be that this database is not supported with native driver but OSDBC only.
    I recommend to repost this query to the [Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports;  forum:
    That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
    Also, all Crystal Reports Design queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

  • Problem with PDF extract in a report

    Hi guys,
    We are facing a peculiar problem with PDF extract in a report. When we run a report and export PDF , all the records in the result set are populated in the PDF. however, if I navigate away from the report and return back to the same report, and click on export pdf (with the result set already populated) i get a blank PDF document without any records. If i run the report again and then export the PDF it works fine.
    Export excel works fine for all cases.
    I am assuming it has got something to do with the way the system handles the cache for PDF export.
    I also found that this occurs only when we have a value list filter with "none" set as default,and in this case, initially on opening  the report for the first time the query does not get executed automatically.
    Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards,
    immanuel

    Hi Immanuel,
    Have you tried clearing the cache? My guess is, it is probably a defect.
