Update the web links on the Crystal Reports start page?

Many of the web links on the Crystal Reports start page are now useless and direct to the general "Welcome to the SAP Support World!" page.
When will / how can these be updated?

How to change the Crystal Reports start page

The CR Start page has a panel on the bottom half which displays Highlights, Key Resources, and eLearning tabs. It is annoying. How do I turn it off?

One more idea:
Go to your below directory on your machine:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\Start Page\en
Take a backup of start.html file (If the below, doesn't work you can put it back)
Open start.html and edit in notepad remove below code and save it , your annoying tab disappears
<div id="onlinecontent">
<iframe width="100%"
height="1200px" align="center" scrolling="auto" FRAMEBORDER="0" class="resources" id="onlineresourse"></iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">InitializeResourcesTag("onlineresourse")</script>
<script type="text/javascript">SetFrameSource("onlineresourse")</script>
</div>

How do I remove the web link from text

I have a text string on a sticky note that is formatted as a web link.
How can I remove the web link so the string becomes ordinary text?
Thanks,
-Joe

In Stickies, ⌃click (or right-click) the link. From the contextual menu, choose Remove Link. Alternatively, choose Edit Link…, then click the Remove Link button, or delete the URL.

Trying to change the data source for a Crystal Report.

<p>The method below represents my best attempt to programatically change the data source of a Crystal Report. The goal is to have a routine that will update the data source for reports after they have been distributed to production servers. So far I have not been successful in saving the report back to the CMS. No exceptions are thrown, but when I view the Database Configuration of the report in the CMC nothing has changed.
</p>
<p>
Am I missing a step, or is there another way to accomplish this?
</p>
<p>
Thank you.

<p>Justin,</p>
<p>
Thank you for the reply. Time constraints have not allowed me to post back to this tread
till now. I will try your suggestion. My assumption is that <i>Save the report back to the
info store</i> refers to <span class="code">IInfoStore.commit(IInfoObjects)</span>.
</p>
<p>
I'm afraid that I do not understand why I don't want to change the report client document,
or why <i>successfully exporting the report with the new login/password</i> is not what I
want to do. Any explanation on that statement would be appreciated.
</p>
<p>
I did find a way to accomplish my goal. It involved adding the SSOKEY property to the
logon property bag. Below you'll see my revised code which modifies the report logon and
server. I have no idea what
this does, and SAP support has not been able to tell me why it works. However, what I
discovered is that if I changed the report option, <b>Database Configuration -> When
viewing report:</b>, in the CMS to <span class="bi">Use same database logon as when report
is run</span> from <span class="bi">Prompt the user for database logon</span>, then the
SSOKEY property had been added to the logon property bag having an empty string as its
value. This allowed me to successfullyupdate and save the modified logon back to the CMS.
</p>
<p>
So I took a chance and added code to always add the SSOKEY property with an empty string
as its value, and I could then successfully modify and save the report's logon info
and server. Again, I don't know what this means, but it has worked so far. If anyone has
some insight or comments, either are welcome. Thank you in advance.

What color are the web links on your iPads? Are the iPad Air's purple?

Bizarrely, the three iPad Airs I've seen show purplish links rather than blue ones--and that's true of a store demo model, too!
In contrast, older iPads, iPad minis, and a store's iPad Mini with Retina Display, show web links as a beautiful blue.
I'm particularly interested in hearing from people who can do side-by-side comparisons of iPad Airs and other iPads & iPhones and report on what the color differences are.
The differences I've seen are fairly striking on most web pages, subtler on others. Side-by-side comparisons can often dramatically reveal the differences.

BUMP!!
Anyone?
Side by side comp with your older iPad? With your Mini? What does it show? What colors are the web links?
Google search results--are they more purple on the Air than the blue on the others? macsurfer.com is one site people have posted about. macrumors.com, too.

After i installed updates for my mac mini server, the web services for the server app wont start, it gives an error massage: "Error Reading Settings"

To check the local network for some of the common configuration problems, launch Terminal.app and issue the following diagnostic command:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
That'll report some local configuration information and then either no errors detected and no changes required, or it'll point to whatever configuration errors or issues it might detect. That doesn't catch everything, but it catches the common errors.
FWIW, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are poor choices for the local network, as VPNs are based on IP routing and IP routing gets tangled when the same subnet is used on both ends of the VPN. 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are near ubiquitous in home networks and coffee shops.

How to overcome the Memory leakage issue in crystal report 2008 SP2 setup.

I have developed the small windows based application tool with help of Visual studio 2008 for identify the memory consumption of crystal report object. It helps to load the crystal report objects in the memory and then released the object from the memory. The tool simply does the u201CLoading and Unloadingu201D the objects in the memory.
The tool will be started once u201CTest_MemoryConsumption.Exeu201D executed. The u201CTest_MemoryConsumption.Exeu201D consumes u201C9768 KBu201D memory before load the crystal report object in memory. It means, 9768 KB is normal memory consumption for run the tool.
Crystal report object initiated by the tool and object help to load the report in memory once the tool initiated the crystal report object. Now u201CTest_MemoryConsumption.Exeu201D consumes u201C34980 KBu201D memory during the crystal report object creation and report load process. The actual memory consumption of crystal report object is 34980u20139768=u201C25212u201DKBu201D.
The memory consumption u201C34980 KBu201D will be continued till the end of the process. The memory consumption will be reduced to u201C34652 KBu201D from u201C34980 KBu201D once report load process completed. It means, u201C328 KBu201D memory only released from the memory consumption. Tool enables the Release command for the crystal report object. But crystal report object does not respond to the command and will not release his memory consumption.
The memory consumption u201C34652 KBu201D will be stayed in the memory once job ends. If i again initiate the crystal report object then it crystal report object start to consume the memory from 34652 KB.
Database objects and crystal report objects are properly used in the tool. The object release commands properly communicated to crystal report setup. But the u201CCrystal report service pack 2u201D setup unable to respond the commands which has enabled from .Net Tool. Crystal report objects are properly initiated and disposed in the tool. But the crystal report unable to release from the server.
The memory consumption will be reduced once the server restarted or kill the application.
Crystal report 2008 and crystal report 2008 SP2 setup available in the server.
Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 SP2, Microsoft .Net Framework 3.0 SP2 and Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 are available in the server,
Could you please suggesst how to avoid the memory consumption keep increasing and how to release the memory consumption once the crystal object disposed???

Hi Don..
My case is different one. I hope, the problem with Run time Installation setup file (Crystal report 2008 Serivce Pack2 installer) which we installed in the server.
Let me explain with Live scenario which our client faced in crystal report 2008 Service pack2 Installer.
Our client is using a application to help to print their reports. The application is developed with Windows service.
Windows service keep on running in the server. Windows service executes the client 's crystal reports( Labels Report, Stock report) which designed for clients need and the reports will be printed from printer.
10 Same type report (Label Report) will be printed in 1 minute. Reports are not printing during non business hours. But the windows service keep on running. Memory cosumption of application will be 160 MB in business hours.
For Example, On Monday the application memory consumption starts with 160 MB. The Memory consumption will be reached 165 MB in peak business hours. Then the memory will be ended in163 MB in the End of Monday. It means, The memory consumption will be in 163 MB during the non business hours. Reports will not be printed in non business hours.
On Tuesday, the application memory consumption starts with 163 MB and it will be reached 168 MB during the peak hours. The Memory consumption will be ended in 165 MB in the end of Tuesday. The same process contiues till friday. End of friday, the memory consumption of the application will be ended with 170 MB.
Application Memory Consumption slowly increasing in the server. In 5 days, Memory consumption reached Threshold value (170 MB) of the server. Application gets hanged up once the memory consumption reached 170 MB. We got the error messages as "Attempted to read write protected memory " / "Not Enough memory for process". If we restart server / If we restart the service then memory consumption of application get reduced to 160 MB.
From the above scenario, We came know that the either the problem with Application object or the problem crystal report object. In the application, We have checked dispose methods of application objects completly. I am sure that application objects are properly disposed in the application. I hope the problem not with application objects. The problem with Crystal report objects.
Application properly communicates the dispose methods to crystal report objects. Crystal report objects are not released from
the memory.
Crystal report 2008 Serive Pack 2 setup installed in the server.
As you said, If Crystal report runtime is not released from memory then memory consumption keep increase??? In service oriented architecture application, how to unload the crystal report runtime??
Do you any fix for this kind of issue??
Willl Crystal report 2008 service pack 3 help on this issue??

How to handle the OK button of the parameters prompt of a crystal report

Hi,
how to handle the OK button of the parameters prompt of a crystal report in vba.NET?
I want to use the parameter prompt from the crystal report itself and I want to know when the report is ready. I need to export programatically by sending email to a list of employees after the parameters has been set. The emails I send depends on the results of the report.
Im using a CrystalReportViewer control in VS2010 and Crystal Report for VS2010 v13.0.1.220.

Right. But the parameter screen is driven by the viewer. Unless you create your own parameter screen and pass the parameters to the report via code.
Another thing I am not sure about:
"Then by code I want to read all the employees id from the report and send email to them with specified pages of the report. (1 page per employee)"
How do you plan on reading the employee ID from the report? I am not aware of any API that will read a value in a report so that you can then decide what page to send to whom.
I think you're approaching this kinda backwards. A question to ask is; can you do what you are trying to do in code in the CR designer? If not, using APIs will not work either. I suspect your approach should be a report that uses an employee filter. Run the report for employee x, get the report populated with the data for that employee and email it. Repeat for employee x1, employee x2, etc.

How to put a web link in the detailed navigation

How can you put a web link in the detailed navigation?
I know that if your role contains iviews that are 3 levels down (default), then the link to the iview will appear in the detailed navigation. But, I want to put a link to a external site in the detailed navigation - is this possible?
Thanks
Patrick

I have a page set with a url iview and it opens from the detailed navigation in a new window fine.
however when clicking on a link to the page via a landing page which displays the KM content page folders, it loads it in the portal active window still (with nav and masthead).
Any ideas how to get the km link to open in a new browser window?
thanks

How to get the path of the web-archive on the local filesystem?? [Apache]

Hello all,
Im running a webapplication on a tomcat server.
I need to find out the path of the web-archive on the local filesystem to access several files.
How can I do that with out having an instance of HttpRequest or whatever??

Hello Bruce.
Please take a look at the following KBase article. It has a sample that will retrieve the folder structure for a specified Crystal Report template based on the instance name in the file store. The sample there can be easily modified so that it is based on a specific infoObject id.
1549728 - How to find the folder structure in the CMC of a report template based on the instance file name in the output file store.
The KBase can be retrieve from the following link:
https://bosap-support.wdf.sap.corp/sap/support/notes/1549728
Please note that the KBase article is retrieved through the Service MarketPlace.
I hope this helps.

How to Jump (Drill-through) between WebI query (also in Crystal Report)

Hi BO experts,
I read that we can achieve drill-down in Crystal Report and WebI.
But I have requirements here to jump (like RRI or Report to Report Interface) in BEx Analyzer and to pass some values (as parameter), i need to achieve:
1. jump between WebI queries (in WebI)
2. jump between Crystal Report reports (in Crystal Report)
3. jump from Crystal Report to WebI
I read that in WebI, jump can be achieved by just opening the URL of the receiver query, but we can't pass on certain values as parameter from the sender query to the receiver query (which is possible in RRI case).
Has anyone ever done it before? Please let me know how to achieve it..
Thank you very much.

You can navigate beween report using Report Linking. This can be achieved through an Opendocument functionality.
Using Opendocument, you can call a webi report from a parent webi report and then pass parameter's as well. Wigooglth the same feature you can invoke a crystal report also from a webi report and pass values.
In crystal report also you can use Opendocument. However there are better features like sub-reports to do this.
You can google for opendocument or search in SDN to get detailed documentation of OpenDocument.
