Report preview

I want to see a preview of a report generation inside of labview without writing it to a file. So I just want to display the report on for example a front panel. Does anyone knows an answer on this?

The closest thing I have ever seen to a preview is saving the report to an HTML file then opening the file up in IE. You can even have IE in an ActiveX container on the VI's front panel.

  • Visual Studio 2008 Crashes when I click on the [Main Report Preview] button

    I started with Crystal Reports Basic that is bundled with Visual Studio, and then downloaded and installed the free trial of Crystal Reports Developer 2008, and the Visual Studio Integration Manager, the issue has not been affected.
    After adding a crystal report to the project and using the wizard to set it up, and adding a Crystal Reports Viewer to a form I encountered these two (perhaps related) problems.
    1)      When I click on the [Main Report Preview] button at the bottom of the report editor for Visual Studio crashes without any error message and needs to be restarted.
    2)      When I set the viewer  Report Source property to the report via the drop down the following error occurs:
    a.       u201CUnable to find the report in the manifest resources.  Please build the project and try again.u201D
    b.      Building the project has no affect and the same error reoccurs repeatedly.

    The original version of CR 2008 did not work with .NET 2008. If your version is 12.0.0.549, you need to apply SP0:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007528552008E/cr2008_sp0.zip
    then I'd highly recommend SP 3:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
    If your version is higher than 12.0.0.549, apply SP3 and try again.

  • Open a Crystal Report preview from an Add-on

    Hi All,
    I'm just trying to open a Crystal Report preview using a button from my add-on.
    I want to use the SAP Crystal report, (the runtime integrated with SAP 8.8)
    Basically I have my report created, so I need to create the object, pass the parameters and open an screen with my preview.
    The main idea is open this Crystal report object when the addon starts and then just use that object.
    I've found an example with this object SAPbobsCOM.ReportLayoutsService but this is for SAP 8.8.1 and I'm working with 8.8. I don't know if i can use SAPbobsCOM.ReportLayout.
    I need a simple example please.
    Thanks .

    Hi,
    Have you read through this: View Crystal Report from add-on ?
    Thanks,

  • Crystal report preview window freezes if I push any key on the keyboard

    our system is a pretty old one, and we are still using crystal report 7 and vc6(mfc6).
    It is a simple dialog based application with a button and a flex grid7.1 component on it.
    when the button is clicked, a crystal report preview window will be opened and become the active window.
    the problem is that, when i pushed a key on the keyboard ('a' for example) the whole application will freeze, and CPU Occupancy Rate is 100%.
    but if I switch the dialog to be current active window after a preview window opened, keyboard input won't make the application freeze.
    It seems that crystal report preview window don't know how to deal with the keyboard input.
    BTW:
    I use the methods below to open a preview window.
    PEOpenEngine
    PEOpenPrintJob
    PEPrintReport
    have anyone here met any similiar problems before?
    I really need your help.
    thanks in advance.

    Moved to Legacy Application Development SDKs forum.
    I have nothing for you, other than; consider upgrading - after all CR 7 shipped in 1998(!). I don't know what OS you are on, but I suspect what ever OS it is, it was not even in a concept stage of thought when CR 7 shipped. E.g.; this may be an OS issue more than anything else.
    BTW., print engine APIs were retired in version 9 of Crystal Reports. At this time, your best option is to upgrade to CR 2008 (12.0)and use .NET or Java. If you are using VB 6 or equivalent, you could still upgrade to CR XI r2 (11.5) and use the Report Designer Component (RDC). However, note that CR XI r2 will be out of support in June of this year. And CR XI R2 is the last version of CR to include the RDC.

  • Closing Report Preview window closes all parent windows

    I have a form 6.0 calling a report 6.0 with several user parameters using run_report_object in preview mode. After the finishing previewing, the user closes the report preview window. Then the preview window closes all the parent windows.
    Need help!
    1) The parameters are char, date and number types.
    2) I don't have a parameter form. I take out the high-light of the parameters on the parameter form and the parameter form title.
    3) I have several user parameters and without the parameter form i'm still able to pass the parameters from the Form.
    Thanks
    null

    report_other parameter can only take 255? characters.
    I use create parameter list and add_parameter instead.

  • Report Preview Popup

    I'm trying to create a report preview where the user can click on a small icon next to the text link and popup a window with a report preview. I've got an image upload and copy to my own table process as well as a working display image process. Now I'm trying to tie that together with the JavaScript popup call. Here's what I have so far:
    The code for the icon link:
    <a href="javascript:callPreviewPopup(85350019096766628)"><img src="/i/custom/eye_view.gif" alt="Report Preview" /></a>The JavaScript popup call
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
      function callPreviewPopup (pgnum) {
        var url;
      url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:41:&APP_SESSION.::::P41_ID:' + pgnum;
      w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=800,height=600");
      if (w.opener == null)
      w.opener = self;
      w.focus();
    </script>On Page 41, it just has a single HTML region with a hidden item for the Image ID that gets populated by the JavaScript call - or at least that's what it's supposed to do...
    <img src="#OWNER#.image_display?p_image_id=&P41_ID." />When I bring up the originating page, I get an icon link that pops up the window, but the image doesn't appear. I checked the session and P41_ID is getting set properly. If I manually set P41_ID to a value the page works. Any ideas?

    Thanks for checking, but yes. The display image works properly if I call the image ID directly, but not if I try to pass it in. It's as if it is rendering the image area before calculating the value for the item, even though the priorities are set so the item is 10 and the region 100.
    On that same note, I tried adding an additional field called PAGE_ID to my custom image table to hold the page number in APEX of the report. Then instead of passing the image ID, I could pass the page number. This completely fails. I can only get the image to display if I call the image display procedure with the image ID.
    I am considering setting a global variable and referencing that from the popup window. What I need to avoid is having to create a hard-coded popup window for every report (obviously).

  • Report previewer in MDI sheet?

    Hello,
    I am working with forms 6i as MDI window
    and I'm traying to run report previewer.
    It should look like MS Word print preview.
    Is it posible to run report 6i previewer
    as MDI sheet component in MDI frame?
    Thanks in advance,
    Roland

    Hi
    You would be able to download the report to an Excel Sheet.
    If you are using standard ABAP List then all you have to do is List->Save->File->Choose Spreadsheet as option
    If for ALV

  • How to convert Oracle reports previewer output into delimited file.

    How to convert Oracle reports previewer output into delimited file if the report has more than 1000 pages.
    I tried with previewer option File --> Generate to file --> Delimited file, but the report engine is crashing.Not generating .TXT file.
    I observed that this option is not working for more than 400 pages.
    I am using Oracle reports 6i version.
    Plz suggest me to generate .TXT file from Report previewer.

    You can specify a delimiter (a character or string of characters) to separate the data (boilerplate or field objects) in your report output in either of the following ways:
    On the command line using the DELIMITER keyword.
    In the Delimited Output dialog box or DelimitedData Output dialog box (displayed with File > Generate to File > Delimited or File > Generate to File > DelimitedData) in Reports Builder.

  • Memory Full error when using Main Report Preview in VStudio 2010

    Framework 4.0.30319
    VStudio 10.0.20.219.1
    SAP Version- 13.0.2000.0
    CR 2008 on local machine- 12.2.0.290
    I don't get memory full error when I run the report with my locally installed cr 2008.  If I go into my visual studio and do a main report preview I get memory full error.
    I get this error running same report in cr 2008- MochiKit is undefined.  An error has occurred in the script on this page.  file:///c:/Program%20(x86)Business%20Objects/Common/4.0/Crystalreportviewers12/js/crviewer/html.js
    I can get past that error and report works fine.  I can take the rpt file in vs2010 and it runs from the aspx page with the viewer.  But I ca't do a preview from the editing of the rpt file.
    Any way to trouble shoot where the memory problem is when doing a preview? Makes it really hard to test other dlls when it does this.

    Are you a Developer or QA or end user? Have you discussed this with your Developer at all? We seem to keep going around in circles. Your Developer should know what he did and how to deploy your app and CR assemblies and what to use.
    Subject line is VS 2010, CR for VS 2010 is the only version supported in VS 2010. CR 2008 doesn't have 64 bit runtime. therefore it's not an option, your WEB Servers app pool MUST run in 32 bit mode only if you are using CR 2008.
    "If I install the 64 bit version of SAP CR. Should the assembly change in the aspx files? different version number?" Nothing in your app, just deploy the 64 bit runtime and set your app pool to run in 64 bit mode.
    If you are using CR for VS 2010 then you can run your WEB server in 64 bit mode and use CR for VS 2010 64 redist files on your WEB server. Then all DB Drivers, Printers and anything else MUST be installed in 64 bit versions. This includes what ever dependencies your UFL has, they too must also support 64 bit platform.
    NO Additional requirements to be done or used for 64 bit WEB applciations, just requires IIS App Pool to be run in 64 bit mode and all dependencies available in 64 bits. ODBC DSN is created using the 64 bit ODBC Administrator, Printers support 64 bit applications.
    And your UFL and any of it's dependencies must be located in as well as GAC'd if it's required, once again check with your UFL developer:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64
    I suggest you purchase a support case and work with one of our Rep's to sort this out.

  • Placement and/or size the report previewer window

    Hello ,
    How can I change the position of reports previewer window?
    (see that is different that parameters form window).
    I like to put on top, because my report pages are very long and
    when it opens you can never get to the bottom scroll bar. You
    must always shrink the window size or move it up.
    I use Reports 6.0.8 and I use the run_product build-in from my
    forms.
    Thanks in advance

    hello,
    you might want to try MAXIMIZE=YES as parameter which opens the
