Total No of pages different in report printed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8)

Currently in our application, we are using Crystal Report XI R2 for generating the reports. We are in the process of upgrading the Crystal Report to SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). I updated that on my machine and all the reports work fine. I didn't have to modify any of the reports.
However when comparing the reports, we found that there are few reports on which the total no. of pages differ from the report displayed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). Comparing the reports, it looks all the data that were fit on one page earlier with version XI R2 doesn't fit on the same page with version 13.8, thereby increasing the page counts.
The fonts, page margins everything set on report itself. Nothing being set in the code.
Both the application is using the same report that is pulling the data from the same database. Our application is a web application.
Any suggestion, why this is happening.
Thanks.
Sanjay

I am not sure what is being compared here?
CRXI R2 designer to CRVS?
CR XI R2 in some version of .NET to CRVS?
CR XI R2 using RDC SDK to CRVS?
Also, is this happening on your development computer or after you deploy?
If you compare the the "Page setup" options dialog between reports that work and those that do not work, do you see any difference?
Is this a web or a win app?
Are you seeing the same issue when viewing and exporting - say export to PDF?
What is the printer driver used and it's version?

"SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio" (CRforVS_13_0_9.exe) has error during Installation.

Hello,
I just tried to install the new file CRforVS_13_0_9.exe on a Windows 7 Ultimate machine.
I have Visual Studio 2013 and wanted Crystal Reports to be fully integrated with it.
By the way, I had already uninstalled CRforVS_13_0_8.exe before I attempted the installation of CRforVS_13_0_9.exe.
However, the installation failed with the following error message...
"The installation failed prematurely." The error dialog box with a full error message is attached.
It may be significant to note that even after what looks like a failed installation, that "SAP Crystal Reports, version for Microsoft Visual Studio" (ver. 13.0.9.1312) does show up in the Programs and Features Control Panel).
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Please advise.

This used to be quite common on WIN XP and Vista and it was an MS issue. Googling I found the following that may help:
Fast and easy Windows Error Code 2753 resolution

For now, this is the only report of the error with SP 9, so it will be good to check if the above helps.

How to suppress extra form feed for character report printing using ORARRP?

Dear All,
We are using Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2.0.2) on Windows 2003 Server and most of our client PC's are Windows XP Professional machines. We are migrating our existing oracle application from 2-tier architecture to 3-tier architecture (6i to 10g). We have installed ORARRP utility for remote direct printing and to a limited extent we are successfull in getting the things work out for our system users, However, we are facing a problem using the ORARRP utility for which we are not able to find a solution till date.
We have configured ORARRP utility on every user's PC and the printing of bitmap reports is working well. However, while printing CHARACTER reports using ORARRP utility, after the report gets printed, an EXTRA FORM FEED is issued by ORARRP to the printer and because of this the printer stationary skips one extra page and advances to the next page. Please note that this EXTRA FORM FEED happens only while printing a CHARACTER REPORT.
Has anyone come across such a problem using ORARRP ? How can we avoid this extra FORM FEED from CHARACTER REPORT printing using ORARRP ? Is there any other tool which supports remote direct printing just like ORARRP?
I shall be highly obliged if anyone could reply to my queries ASAP.
Regards,
KrishnaKumar S

Please help ! I tried the "send_form_feed" and "postscript_dos_print" parameters without success. The extra form feed is always there. Thanks.

EBS R12 Report Printing using PASTA

Hi Friends,
Can you help me with my printing set-up please. I am priting a standard reports but the
printing is not centered. It has big margin on the left (like 3 inches ) and the right side columns
overshooted.
How do I adjust my printing to move for right to left by scale? or How do i choose paper size?
Or how do I print macro like a font 6 instead of normal 12?
Thanks a lot

Report Dataset NOT displaying Fields within Microsoft Visual Studio

I have developed my Stored Procedure using two driven parameters.
@ReportTypeName
@YearParameter
The @ReportTypeName is handled within an IF at the End of the Stored Procedure to produce the correct type of report..."New" or "Renewal"
The @YearParameter is an Integer Year that is provided by Code and then properly interpreted within the SQL Server Stored Procedures.
My SQL Stored Procedure runs perfectly when I supply the Parameters in an EXEC Statement. Sooooo actually a two-part question...
When I build my SSRS Report in Microsoft Visual Studio and Provide the Dataset accordingly, the SQL Server Stored Procedure name that I've previously created, the Report Dataset fields are not there. Why? So I have no way of dragging the Dataset report
data fields onto my Report Tablix.
I have as an <<Expr>> in my Report Header: ="Year Parameter Specified: " + Parameters!YearParameter.Value and when I try to Preview my Report I get the error message: The Value expression for the textrun 'textbox22.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]'
contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format. Does that mean I have to Convert my Integer Parameter Value to Character in order for it to be displayed as a Value ???
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a quick reply and Thanks in advance!

Hi ITBobbyP,
1.When I build my SSRS Report in Microsoft Visual Studio and Provide the Dataset accordingly, the SQL Server Stored Procedure name that I've previously created, the Report Dataset fields are not there. Why? So I have no way of dragging
the Dataset report data fields onto my Report Tablix.
In your scenario, please run the stored procedure in SSMS to check if the expected results can return. If the stored procedure can work fine in SSMS, then please check if you have specified a correct data source, also make sure
the credential used to connect to the data source is the same as the credential you use in SSMS. For more information, please refer to this article:
Create an Embedded or Shared Data Source (SSRS).
2.I have as an <<Expr>> in my Report Header: ="Year Parameter Specified: " + Parameters!YearParameter.Value and when I try to Preview my Report I get the error message: The Value expression for the textrun
'textbox22.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]' contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format. Does that mean I have to Convert my Integer Parameter Value to Character in order for it to be displayed as a Value ???
In this scenario, I would like to know if the YearParameter is a multivalued parameter. As we tested in our environment, if it’s a multivalued parameter, we should specify the expression like below:
="Year Parameter Specified: " & Join(Parameters!YearParameter.Value,",")
Otherwise, you should change the expression like below:
="Year Parameter Specified: " & Parameters!
YearParameter.Value
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Script to disable Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks

Hi, I am trying to find a way of using a batch file or vbscript to disable Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks on a Network Interface Controller.
I've done some searching on the internet and I can see some suggestions to locate the Setting ID of the NIC and then remove the value from the "Bind" string under "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Linkage" and "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Linkage"
I tried this but it didn't seem to uncheck itself from the NIC properties under NCPA.cpl
Can someone help me?

XL Reporter - microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition

Hi,
When I right client a Report Definition and click Edit or Generate Report, I receive a pops up message (title Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition) that "The feature you are trying to use is on a CD Rom or other removable disk that is not available'
I did no installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition. So, I have no idea where that comes from, unless, it is supposed to be included in XL Reporter installation in order to run with Patch 36.
I am using SAP 2005A SP1 Patch 36, XL Reporter Patch 29. Anyone encounter that?

Additional info, here is prerequisites before installation of XL :
1. Your workstation has a minimum of 256 MB RAM (512 MB is recommended).
2. The processor of your workstation is a Pentium III or higher.
3. You have installed Microsoft Excel on your workstation. The following versions are supported:
Microsoft® Excel 2000 (SP 1 or higher is required.)
Microsoft® Excel 2002 (SP 1 or higher is required.)
Microsoft® Excel 2003 (SP 2 or higher is recommended.)
4. You have installed Microsoft® .NET Framework 1.1 and Microsoft® MDAC 2.7 or higher.
You can download both Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and Microsoft MDAC 2.7 or higher from www.microsoft.com. For more information on how to check for version information, see SAP Note 903032.
Disclaimer: SAP is not responsible for the content of external websites.
Is there any relation ship between .net framework with VS 2005 ? I think when installing SQL 2005, it is included VS and .net framework.

thanks a lot and looking forward to hear from you soon.

Check with the printer manufacturer that the matrix printer is Unicode compliant. If it is not, it will not work with Crystal Reports. If it is, make sure you have the latest printer driver updates.

Teststand automatic test report printing using LabView workaround

I tried the LabView workaround for the automatic printing of test reports in TestStand (see email message below).
It will work if I set the URL to a specific HTML TempReport. However, TestStand is configured to generate a unique test report for each UUT. So, in the test report directory there are xml reports and the occasional HTML report, example TestReport_00104.html. Not sure then what to set the URL to?
Note: Your reference number is included in the Subject field of this message. It is very important that you do not remove or modify this reference number, or your message may be returned to you.
Hi Bill,
Thanks you for your reply.
Right ok. Well, if you are interested in the LabVIEW workaround, I can send this to place it in your modified sequential model.
The workaround works as desired. It does it all automatically. I have set it to not prompt the user for the print dialogue but this can be easily changed. Therefore, for any example program in Teststand, if it is based on the modified sequential model, an HTML style report will be printed on the default printer automatically.
It needs to be placed in the following location:
Within the Sequential Model, within 'Single Pass>>Print Report' do the following:
- Replace all the 'Main' steps (Navigate to HTML, Print HTML File & Close IE Browser) with the LabVIEW function call.
- This one function call will do all the steps above at once.
NOTE: In the LabVIEW VI, you will need to select the correct directory where the new html files are being created. Otherwise the print function will not work. This is called URL. Make you sure you have checked this.
For ease of understanding I have included these steps in a word document with screen shots.
As I do not know which version of LabVIEW you might have, I have attached three versions of the .vi file; 2012, 2011 and 2010.
In regards to the mention of Teststand not having built in functionality for automatic printing of reports, unfortunately this is the case.
I hope this will be a sufficient workaround for you.
If you problems implementing this solution, please ask me for further information. However, it should be fairly simple to do.
Just to inform you, I will be out of the office from 12.45pm today for the rest of the week on annual leave.
I will be back in the office on Monday 14th January 2013, should you have any further queries.

Print HTML file from LabVIEW.zip ‏39 KB

Hi Bill,
I managed to implement this.
In the sequential model I added a LabVIEW action after 'Add Root Tags To XML Report'
As URL I use a sequence local: Locals.ReportFilePath
I points to the ML report in my case and then the VI works fine.
However I'm looking for extra functionality and that is waiting untill printing is completed.
Can you help me on that ?

ACCENT Symbol in Oracle Reports printing using 10g Application server

Some of the report with names containing ACCENT symbol are printing like upside-down comma. But the report used to printing certified copy and the client requiring to print the ACCENT symbol as it is. Oracle support recommend us to use PDFPrint destination, which is third-party utility that converting the post-script output to printer for ACCENT symbol. Please provide the link and instruction to download the PDFprint utility and installation requirement for the below environment:
Oracle Application Server Version=10.1.2.3.0
SUN SPARC - 64 bit
Thanks
Krishna

By the looks of it you used 9i which also used an Application Server so your knowledge should be up to date. The Default URL has changed a little as has the port. Look in the installation guide for the default URL and port.
If you mena the development side you can use the one-button-run functionality which makes it possible to run am form without the full App Server just by hitting the run button in the builder. You do need to start the local OC4J but that is easy. On Windows there is a start menu item to do that. On Linux you run a shell script I think.

Report Profile Use & fields in dynamic selection in RE-FX reports..

I have two requirements:
1. Some of the SAP delivered fields in RE master data of BE,PR,BU and RO are not required by our client. Thus we have hidden them using field status transaction. However they are still available in RE info system in Dynamic selection as well as in output screen. How can we remove these fields from information system as well.
2. Some fields were added to the master data using BDT, they are visisble in the report however, they are not available in Dynamic Selections. How can we add them in dynamic selection as well during report execution.
The transaction codes for reports are e.g. REISBE, REISBU, REISPR, REISRO, RECN, etc.
Can ReportProfile be of some use?? If yes, how can we configure the same.
Regards
Rohit

I am aware of this, however, creating a variant still keeps the fields in hidden list in change variant section and any user maygo and bring the same to viewable list.
I am willing if we can simply remove those fields from the display screen to avoid any confusion in future.
Regards
Rohit

Pages scroll extremely slowly when using my mouse scroll wheel, regardless of the settings I have for autoscrolling or smooth scrolling.

It scrolls about 1 line for every 5 notches I turn the scroll wheel.
I have to either use the scroll bar or the arrow keys. All other programs like Internet Explorer and Word, Photoshop, etc. scroll normally with the scroll wheel. Currently I am using the mouse on a Wacom Intuos 4, but the same issue occurs with the pen using the "pan" function and also with a run of the mill corded microsoft intelimouse.
Also, I'm having this issue on 2 computers, one lenovo laptop, Win 7 professional 64 bit, and a Lenovo desktop with Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.

Crystal report Print small print area

Hello,
i made some receipt print and i had a problem with printig of report. I prepared report and in reportviewer it was OK, but when i send it to a receipt printer, the final ouptut is bad.The report was printed in small text area left bottom of paper.
in attach file: left is oputput, right is viewer.
I tried it to send via PrintToPrinter method or print from CrystalReportViwer. The problem is everywhere.
Maybe some problem with resolution..
Can you resolve my problem ?
Thanks you for your idea
Jan

Hello Jan
The most likely reason is the printer driver. From the screenshot, the report looks like it is formatted on an A1 or 8 1/2 X 11 page. But the printout is on a label printer(?). So, if the report is supposed to be used on a label printer, it must be formatted in the designer for that specific label printer.
You don't mention the version of CR or VS you are working with, but I assume it is VS 2010 / 2012 and SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (CRVS). If that is the case, make sure you apply Service Pack 8 for CRVS:
