Reports 6i and OLE data

Hello Friends,
I want to display OLE content from database using
Reports,after report development I am facing following
problem.does anybody know how to solve it.
1. Some times OLE content appears in small font,it is very
difficult to read.
2. After navigating to pages, some fonts become larger or very
small.
3. After navigating to pages, message 'Report can not be
formatted,Object 'vertically' can never fit within...
this error continues even objects and corresponding frames
elasticity changed to variable or Expand.
can anyone have faced such problems ? Please send me solutions,
It's very urgent.
Thanx
Adi

Hello,
After lot of R&D, I found solution to my problem,but though
It is working now, I am not sure about it's full success,so I
welcome any comment on it.
I just changed number of vertical panels per page property of
main section and it is working correctly,but drawback is suppose
your report is of 2 panel,and you have specified panel to 10
then it creates empty panels and prints it as a blank. How to
avoid this ?

Unknown Database connector Error - Crystal Reports 2008 and OLE DB

Hi,
I want to create a report based on OLE DB provider.
Once I Select it from the Database Expert list I get this Error: "Unknown Database Connector Error", and the list is empty.
I am using Crystal Reports 2008 on Win XP SP2.
SQL Server 2005 is installed on the local machine.
If I create a UDL File and double click, I can see all OLE DB Providers on the machine.
What am I missing ?
Thanks,
Yuval.

Hi Friends,
Thank you all for trying to help.
- The installed MDAC version is 2.8 (It comes with XP SP2). I have tried installing it again and it says that it is already installed.
- I am not using a bussiness view. Just the simplest blank report in CR2008. I am not able to start it using OLE DB, once I want to choose a provider - I get the error, before even entering connection details such as username and password.
- I am able to build an ODBC report, but when trying to view it using Crystal Reports Windows Form Viewer (from within a .Net application) I get an error: "Failed to Open The Connection". It happens also with reports built on other machines using OLE DB.
Same report works fine with the same application on different machines and I cannot figure out what is the difference.
I think Something on my machine is not right.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Yuval.

Report Viewer and September Dates

We're experiencing a very strange bug with the report viewer. On date prompts, if the month of September is selected from the drop down calender, the inputted value is for October. So even if I select September 1st from the calendar, it becomes October 1st.
Can anyone else duplicate this?

Hi Scott,
Can you please let me know what type of parameter you are using? static or dynamic?
If static you might be created the parameter like this
value= 1,2,3,4,5,6,......
Description=Jan,Feb,......
If so please check the value for SEP.
If I understood wrong please let explain in brief.

Report Viewer and Multiple Data Sources

I know that it is possible to create a report in Crystal Reports using multiple data sources. But is it possible to use just the Free Report Viewer to view a report with Multiple Data Sources?
Our company uses Crystal Reports XI. I do not use the program myself, I am in the IT Department. I have limited knowledge of Crystal and do not do any of the report writing.
If this is possible, and if someone could help me out with what would need to be done, or point me in the right direction of a Knowledge Base or Help Topic that explains this, that would be great.
Thanks.

I believe it can but both data sources need to be set up. Ask a report designer to help you use the Designer to test this and see what is required.

Crystal Reports 10 and OLE Bitmap Objects

Greetings, all!
I need some help in getting a Bitmap Image file (BMP) to dynamically display on a Crystal form. We have it currently running as an OLE object inserted into the form. The actual image displayed can vary, so immediately prior to running the form, the desired image file is copied to a specific location with a specific name. This works great... until we implemented the solution on our client's system. That is our problem.
Rather than than refreshing the BMP image at run time, the form displays the last image it was able to successfully load. When I open the form in Crystal Reports, it displays the "Updating ActiveX options" message along with the progress bar, but then puts up the message, "Some links could not be updated because their sources are presently unavailable." When I try to verify the file path and file name of the OLE object within Crystal, it says that the object is invalid.
Here are some environment details.
1. The version is "Crystal Reports 10 for Sage" (version 10.0.5.820). This is because the Crystal software is bundled with the accounting application software, Sage MAS 500 version 7.05.18.0.
2. My operating system is Microsoft Windows 2000, 5.00.2195, Service Pack 4. The configuration runs great here.
3. The client's operating system is Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, Service Pack 2. This is where it does not work.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1. I referenced the following forum thread...
OLE Linked Object
... and tried updating the registry as it describes. This did not work.
2. I referenced the following forum thread...
Re: OLE object problem
...but I did not have a clear understanding of what it was explaining. I was uncertain about the reference of setting mspaint.exe as an OLE Automation server, etc.
That's it. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated. The client's software and operating system are pretty much fixed, so I'm afraid I won't be able to oblige any suggestings to upgrade these. If you need any additional information, I will be more than happy to provide it.
Thanks in advance!

This issue has been resolved. We found that when the customer ran the statement on a client workstation rather than on the server, the OLE bitmap objects refreshed as expected. I am therefore closing this issue.

Crystal Reports 2008 and Excel data source

I want to use a large Excel-sheet (with 139569 lines) as a data source for a report. Crystal Reports 2008 only seems to accept Excel sheets as a data source if they are stored in Excel 97-2003 format. But, then there is a limit of 65536 lines and I miss more than half of the data I need to process. Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this problem??

Hello,
No work around in CR when connecting to xls files. CR can only use xls files which has the 65K row limit. Our next version does support xlxs files though. Cr for VS 2010 is available, no Designer outside of the IDE though. CR 2011 is still in beta and no release data announced yet.
For now all you can do is limit your sheets to 65k or export your XLS files to Access, must also be an MDB file type, not the new extended type. Once in an Access database now you can use it as your data sources.
You can use a temp database so it gets destroyed each time or simple delete all records. Up to you how to manage it.
Thank you
Don

it's good for ideas but implementation a bit different
Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Report Designer's Guide
This function provides a method to get the difference between two dates in the given locale. The dates need to be in "yyyy-MM-dd" format. This function supports only the Gregorian calendar. The syntax is as follows:
<?xdoxslt:date_diff(‘format’, ‘YYYY-MM-DD’, ‘YYYY-MM-DD’, $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE)?>
where
format is the time value for which the difference is to be calculated
Example:
<?xdoxslt:date_diff(‘d’, ‘2006-04-08’, ‘2006-04-01’, $_XDOLOCALE, ‘America/Los_Angeles’)?>

Retrieving Freezed and Unfreezed data from a Single Report

Dear All,
I have a requirement where we have 2 types of users.
1. End User and 2. Super User 3. Intermediate Users
We have source system data which will be retieved on a daily basis.
Here Super user freeze the data ramdomly.
We need a report to be generated which with show
1.Freezed data to Super user
2. Unfreezed data to End User and
3. Intermediate User who needs both freezed and unfreezed data.
Can someone suggest the most optimal way to execute this requirement.
Early response will be appreciable.
Thanks,
Sai Gautam

Hi,
you could use the scheduling function of BOE for this.
For the Super Users: The Report will be scheduled after the data has been frezzed
For the End Users: They can run the Report On- Demand on any Time
For Intermediate Users: They can do both. View the Instance of the Scheduled Report and run the Report On- Demand
This could be handled by Permissions in BOE.

Report Script returns no data and "java.io.FileNotFoundException" error

When attempting to write to a new file (Eg: C:\TEST.txt), Report Script returns no data and "java.io.FileNotFoundException" error occurs.
This error occurs only in Essbase 9.3.1.3 release, however it works fine in release 9.3.1.0.
After running the report the script, it pops up the follwing message:
"java.io.FileNotFoundException: ..\temp\eas17109.tmp (The system cannot find the file specified): C:\TEST.txt"
When checked the TEST.txt, it was empty.

Sorry folks, I just found out the reason. Its because there was no data in the combination what I was extracting.
but is this the right error message for that? It should have atleast create a blank file right?
