Setting the report in the wf

Hai,
I have developed one workflow for pm area. In that workflow I am setting(in the container operation) my report(zmm_call_report).
So in the 'Expression', I assign
Expression B20-000 REPORT Zmm_call_report
Here my problem is 'Why should I give ' B20-000. From where it is coming?
Any tips.
Thanks in advance.

What is your system name and client number - as seen in the lower right corner (popup menu).
Additional tip (perhaps they have defined them with no apparent correlation): check table TBDLS - you should find a LOGSYS value there corresponding to your entry.
It is quite common to define logical system names in the form <system ID>CLNT<client> - but it's a free world.

Two commands in the report using the same parameter - fail under Java

I have a report that contains 2 SQL commands.
Both of these commands use one parameter X of type Number in their 'WHERE' clause.
When i'm viewing the report in CR 2008, i'm asked for a value of this parameter and all data is filled in the report - OK
The problem occurs when the same report is printed through Crystal Java Runtime:
Report is printed without data! - it's empty.
What we noticed in the debug information thrown by the Crystal libraries is that parameter value is set only in one of these commands:
Original statement 1:
select a.something
from ANM_T a
where a.anmid = {?PARAMETER01Id}
Original statement 2:
SELECT * from ANM_T a
WHERE a.anmid={?PARAMETER01Id}
OUTCOME of Statement 1:
select a.something
from ANM_T a
where a.anmid = 0
OUTCOME of Statement 2:
SELECT * from ANM_T a
WHERE a.anmid=9825
In above example we may see that crystal set the value only in the second statement - first one got 0 - i suspect its some default value.
Parameter in the Java code is set in the right way. In case of using only one statement it works. If we use two separate parameters (whose values are equal ) it also works.
// we have also the loop over the parameters
ParameterFieldController paramFieldController =
 report.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
paramFieldController.setCurrentValue( "", paramName, paramValue );
What is strange for me is that Crystal Reports enables to use the same parameter in two commands but if you edit one of them you may change the type of this parameter for a command ( for example from Number to String) but the parameter type in the second command remains unchanged ( it's strange because in my opinion it is the same parameter). In the Field Explorer under the Parameter Fields i still see one parameter of type used in the second command.

Hello all,
We have prepared some sample code to illustrate the issue.
We have modified the sample application (Link: [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/c07fec3e-3e11-2c10-1991-8c0fb0b82b75]) to that it also changes the parameter value. Parameter is used in two commands saved in report.
The code changing the parameters value looks like this:
private static void changeParameters(ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc) throws ReportSDKException {
 DataDefController dataDefController = reportClientDoc.getDataDefController();
 Fields fields = dataDefController.getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
 for( int i = 0; i < fields.size(); i++ ){
 Field field = (Field)fields.getField( i );
 if( field.getKind() == FieldKind.parameterField ){
 setParameter( ((ParameterField)field).getName(), "9825" , reportClientDoc);
private static void setParameter( String paramName, String paramValue, ReportClientDocument document ) throws ReportSDKException {
 ParameterFieldController paramFieldController =
 document.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
 paramFieldController.setCurrentValue( "", paramName, paramValue );
We have tried the following codes to change the connection info used in commands:
Attempt 1
 Tables tables = databaseController.getDatabase().getTables();
 //Set the datasource for all main report tables.
 for (int i = 0; i < tables.size(); i++) {
 ITable table = tables.getTable(i);
 //Keep existing name and alias.
 table.setName(table.getName());
 table.setAlias(table.getAlias());
 //Change connection information properties.
 IConnectionInfo connectionInfo = table.getConnectionInfo();
 //Set new table connection property attributes.
 connectionInfo.setAttributes(propertyBag);
 //Set database username and password.
 //NOTE: Even if these the username and password properties don't change when switching databases, the
 //database password is *not* saved in the report and must be set at runtime if the database is secured.
 connectionInfo.setUserName(DBUSERNAME);
 connectionInfo.setPassword(DBPASSWORD);
 connectionInfo.setKind(ConnectionInfoKind.SQL);
 table.setConnectionInfo(connectionInfo);
 //Update old table in the report with the new table.
 databaseController.setTableLocation(table, tables.getTable(i));
 //databaseController.setTableLocation(tables.getTable(i), table);
Attempt 2
 newConnectionInfo.setAttributes(propertyBag);
 connectionInfo.setUserName(DBUSERNAME);
 connectionInfo.setPassword(DBPASSWORD);
 //preserve subreport links
 SubreportController src = doc.getSubreportController();
 Map<String, SubreportLinks> linkMapper = new HashMap<String,SubreportLinks>();
 for(String subreportName : src.getSubreportNames()){
 linkMapper.put(subreportName,
 (SubreportLinks) src.getSubreportLinks(subreportName).clone(true));
 //If this connection needed parameters, we would use this field.
 Fields<IParameterField> pFields = doc.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
 replaceConnectionInfos(doc.getDatabaseController(), newConnectionInfo, pFields);
 IStrings strs = src.getSubreportNames();
 Iterator<String> it = strs.iterator();
 while (it.hasNext()) {
 String name = it.next();
 ISubreportClientDocument subreport = src.getSubreport(name);
 pFields = subreport.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
 replaceConnectionInfos(subreport.getDatabaseController(), newConnectionInfo, pFields);
 //reconnect subreport links since when using replaceConnection links are erased
 for(String subreportName : src.getSubreportNames())
 src.setSubreportLinks(subreportName, linkMapper.get(subreportName));
private static void replaceConnectionInfos(DatabaseController aDc, IConnectionInfo aNewConnInfo, Fields<IParameterField> aParameterField) throws ReportSDKException {
 ConnectionInfos cis = aDc.getConnectionInfos(null);
 for (IConnectionInfo oldConnInfo : cis)
 aDc.replaceConnection(oldConnInfo, aNewConnInfo, aParameterField, DBOptions._useDefault
 + DBOptions._doNotVerifyDB);
In both cases, the observed problem occurred. In one query the parameter was set properly, while on the other it was set to 0 (or empty string in case of string parameters). What is more, no data appeared on the print.
Do you happen to know the reason of this issue?How can we fix the problem?

Report 6i/Webdb -Not able to display the report in the browser - rep- 3002 error.

Would someone tell what I missed, I have set up the following:

It sounds like that your Web CGI did not configure right. To test if your CGI configuration is correct, type:

How can I print a label on the last page of the report in the margin

I would like to display a label on my report but has to appear only on the last page of the report in the margin area or as a footer. I have tried using the solution below that I came across in this forum. This solution only worked if I put the label as a report trailer and not in the margin of the main section of report. The problem of putting the label as a report trailer is that it will only appear at the end of the report on it's own page, i.e. on a new page. I would like the label to appear at the end of the report, on the last page which has the other report details and not to appear on a new page on its own. Could you please help? Thanks.
1. Create a dummy query, like
select 1 dummy
from dual
2. Create a package spec:
PACKAGE pkg_globals IS
totalPages number(3);
END;
2. Create a repeating frame and field for this dummy at the end of the report layout.
3. Create a format trigger for this frame:
function R_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(pkg_globals.totalPages);
return (FALSE);
end;
4. Create a format trigger for your margin field:
function F_1FormatTrigger return boolean is
pagenum number;
begin
srw.get_page_num(pagenum);
if pagenum = pkg_globals.totalPages then
return (TRUE);
else
return (false);
end if;
end;

How to format the report with the aggregated value

Hi,
I have 2 characteristics and 3 KFs in the infocube.
First field is Cost Center
Second field is creation Date
3rd field is KF1
4th field is KF2
5th field is KF3
I have put the date field( in the row) as this is required for calculating formula for KFs. But I have set that as No display.
The date in the info cube is as follows.
Cost Ceneter Date( no Display)   KF1     KF2      KF3
CC1           01/01/2006          100     150      200
CC1           02/02/2006          75      100      95
CC1           05/02/2006          125      95      125
CC2           01/02/2006          75       25      85
CC2           02/02/2006          85       65      10
As the Date field is in query set to No display so the date appearing in the report is as follows
CC1       100        150        200
          75         100        95
          125          95        125
CC2       75           25        85
          85           65        10
But I want the aggregated value at cost senter level i.e.
CC1       300         245       420
CC2       160         90         95
I can not remove the Date frield from query as there is a formula variable defined on the date field.
Please let me know how to bring the report to the required format.

If you are in new Bex, you can do it.
You will have to create another (set of) CKF on top of the current ones (which do exception aggregation on DOCNUM) and set the exception aggregation on date.
Say you have
CH1--CH2CH3--CKF1
To have a 'before aggregation' behavior for CKF1 when CH3 is not present, you will create a CKF2 = CKF1 with exception aggregation on CH3.
Now, if you want to remove CH2 and have the 'before aggregation' behavior you will need to create another CKF3 = CKF2 with exception aggregation on CH2.
ie for each level of aggregation, you will have to define a new CKF/Formula with corresponding exception aggregation - this is what will be needed to get you your output.

Unable to find the report in the manifest resources

Hi!I have problem using Crystal Report documents created in Visual Studio 2005 using the build-in version of Crystal Reports. If I create a project from scratch with one report and then some code to initialize and export the report to disk I get the following error message:"Unhandled Exception: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LoadSaveReportException: Unable to find the report in the manifest resources. Please build the project, and try again."I have tried using both the "Embedded resource" and the "Content" options during build, but with no luck at all. When using the Content option I explicitly load the rpt-file but no luck at all. Do anyone have a clue to what the problem is? I have absolutely no idea.

Lars,
Â Have you read the CRnet_deployment.doc if not it may help fix your problem (It didnt mine but hey you may be lucky) See http://support.businessobjects.com/communitycs/technicalpapers/crnet_deployment.pdf
I have a similar issue but in 2003.net using the bundled CR package. I'm trying to use CR in a Web Service called from a Compact Framework device. I've confirmed I'm using the correct Merge Modules & my Build Actions are all set as stated in the CR Application Deployment document but it still spits out Unable to find the report in the manifest resources
I've looked extensively on the net and while others have had this problem the only advice I've seen revolves around embedded build actions and using the correct merge modules. There must be something else causing this problem and some one who has found a way round it?!?
If your that someone please take 5 minutes out and help a couple of guys in distress?
Thanks in advance,
Ian

CRVS2010 Beta - Unable to find the report in the manifest resources

Searching the forums I saw some similar issues. Here is how the issue was solved on my end.
Looking at the properties of the crystal report file in VS2010 the Build Action was "None". After setting it compile things worked as normal. The exception made sense after finding the cause.
I'm not sure if this was caused by VS2010 as my organization was in the middle of migrating to TFS 2010 that may have caused an issue.
Hope this helps someone.

Cliff, thank you very much for sharing this soution with the community. Once CRVS2010 RTMs, I'll create a KBase on it.
Happy coding,

Hi,
i have set up a small test case on apex.oracle.com and I receive the same error if I use download format.
I have a table
test_blob (id number, name varchar2(10), blobcont blob)
If I create IR like
select
    id,
    name,
    blobcont
from test_bloband then I define download format I hit the error.
If you want this to work you have to change your query to
select
    id,
    name,
    dbms_lob.getlength(blobcont) blobcont
from test_blobAnd then again define download format for blob on blobcont column.

The number of display columns in the report reached the limit" Interactive Report

I get the error message of "The number of display columns in the report reached the limit" when trying to display less than 100 (100 is limit) columns when an aggregate has been created.   This does not happen when an aggregate has not been added to the IR report. It seems to happen because I have a control break on as well. When I turn off the control break it works but is not the result that we want. Interesting enough, if I filter the results down to 500 rows it works just fine. Does oracle treat aggregates as columns!? This is a really odd issue that I really need to clear up.

Please Help Urgently to refresh the report on the change in data

We want to refresh report at runtime for the Drill Down report if any user changes the Data. We changes the data from the form which is called from the report and we want to this effect on the report on the prompt.
Is there any method to close the report while it is in the queue of Background Engine? Can we refresh the report ? Please help urgently.
Thanks in Advance.

Pritesh,
Reports goes out to the database and fetches the data (not a snapshot) and returns the information, formats it and displays it. The only way to refresh, is to rerun the report.
If your are running from the server, you need to make sure you are not fetching from cache (you determine this from destype and set the life of the cache in the servername.ora file).
I am unaware of any way to programatically close the report once displayed. The user must take action to close the report (unless you call the operating system to kill the display). When you rerun the report from Oracle Forms, you will get fresh data.

Why do you need to do it by a curesor loop? Can't you put the query in the datamodel of the report and simply pass the parameter to restrict the query?

How to Download the report from the workitem?

Hi,
I have one typical requirement that is to download the report from the Workitem by the manager?
Would any body please give the solution and procedure?
If you have any sample code for that give it tome?
Early reply is appriciable.
Regards,
Chow.

If it is an ALV report you don't have to do any coding. You don't say which report it is.
If it is a report that uses write statements you can also export to a spreadsheet, but of course the cell matching is not quite as for ALV reports since the report creator decides the alignment. Use the menu item "System" => "List" => "Save" (the menu item names may be a little different since I have translated them from Norwegian).

Specifications for the report regarding the invoiced quantity.

Hi all SAP gurus,
I want to give specifications to the abaper regarding the layout of a report. The details are sales order, materials in it, order quantity, invoiced qty, balance qty and stock against the balance qty.
I want to know the table & field name where the qty is getting updated. Suppose order qty is 20, today i invoice 5 qty. The balance is 15. When i run the report, in the invoiced qty column the system should show 5. Tomorrow i invoice 10 qty, the balance will be 5. When i run the report again, in the invoiced qty column, the system should show 15.
Where is the data stored regarding the updated qty which is already invoiced.
The scenario is MTS. Is it possible to show the exact available qty in the balance qty. column some material may be confirmed for other sales order also.
Regards,
Allabaqsh G. Patil

Hi
Need to understand couple of more things before i tell you the fields as are you considering report Based ON invoice or delivery as you are saying that order quantity is 20 and invoice is 5 , ( do you mean to say delivered quantity is 5)
secondly since this report is for stock are you taking into the account of all the pending orders not yet delivered , partially deliverd.
Hope you understand this as this report could change every minute the order is delivered
And as per my knowledge there is no such table which can give you that information , you need to write a logic which will consider the open orders, partially delivery , and stuff into .....hope i am in Sync with what you are asking
Cheers

ABST2 - How to take the report for the previous fiscal year

Hi,
For FI-AA reconciliation, my scenario is this: The current fiscal year is 2009 and the system (server) date is 16-Apr-2009. My fiscal year period is: Mar-Apr. In ABST2, it does not accept Fiscal year. When I take the report, it displays for fiscal year 2009, which I don't want because I want it for the fiscal year 2008 to reconcile between FI and AA. The fiscal year 2008 is not yet closed in both FI and AA, so I want the report for 2008 only. But ABST2 always gives the report for the current fiscl year. Is there any way out to get the report for 2008?.
Thanks,
Kannan S

This report is based on the actual values. In the past this report was used for EURO conversions to see if the values are in line. When not it was not possible to do the euro conversion.
Normal it is a part from the fiscal year closing
