Using 2 Universe Queries in Crystal Reports

Hi,
I am trying to use Universe queries in a Crystal report.
I want to use 2 Universe queries and then link the common dimensions between them using the Database Expert, is these similar to merge dimensions in Web Intelligence?. Is it possible? Or how can I do to merge objects that came from 2 Universe queries?
My problem is when I tried to execute the report, Crystal Reports get stuck.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Diana

How to use oracle functions in Crystal Reports XI using Oracle Server

Hi all,
Is it possible to use oracle functions in Crystal Reports XI using Oracle Server as Data Source.
If i try to use a procedure,i am getting error with message "Invalid Arguement Provided".
Functions are not visible objects like tables,views and stored procedures.
The jdbs driver i m using is oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.

I think it is not possible to add functions in crystal directly for any database. You need to use those functions in a stored procedure and add that storedprocedure as a datasource.

Using DB2 views in crystal reports with java

Post Author: Shikha Tomar
CA Forum: JAVA
Hello,
We have used DB2 views in Crystal Report 11.
We are able to view the report through crystal report tool but while using this rpt file in java application,the DB2 view is not found.
It gives an error: "table SCDC.View_report not found."
SCDC.View_report=Name of the view used in rpt
Code for calling rpt is as below:
The line marked as red gives the error:
private static void switch_tables(DatabaseController databaseController) throws ReportSDKException, IOException {
final String URI = "!com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver!jdbc:db2://"SERVERNAME":"PORT"/"DATABASE_NAME"!"+"";
final String DATABASE_DLL = "crdb_jdbc.dll";
//Obtain collection of tables from this database controller.
Tables tables = databaseController.getDatabase().getTables();
CommandTable commandTable=new CommandTable();
//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 properties that are different from the original datasource.
table.setQualifiedName(TABLE_NAME_QUALIFIER + table.getName());
//Change connection information properties.
IConnectionInfo connectionInfo = table.getConnectionInfo();
//Set new table connection property attributes.
PropertyBag propertyBag = new PropertyBag();
//Overwrite any existing properties with updated values.
propertyBag.put("Trusted_Connection", "false");
propertyBag.put("Server Name", SERVERNAME); //Optional property.
propertyBag.put("Connection String", CONNECTION_STRING);
propertyBag.put("Database Name", DATABASE_NAME);
propertyBag.put("Server Type", "JDBC (JNDI)");
propertyBag.put("URI", URI);
propertyBag.put("Use JDBC", "true");
propertyBag.put("Database DLL", DATABASE_DLL);
connectionInfo.setAttributes(propertyBag);
//Set database username and pasword.
//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);
//connectionInfo
table.setConnectionInfo(connectionInfo);
//Update old table in the report with the new table.

Using HTML script in Crystal Reports??

Can anyone let me know how to use HTML scripts in Crystal Reports?
I just need to develop report using HTML so that the output of the report will be in RIch text fomat

Hi,
You can't design a report using HTML script. I'm not exactly clear on what you want to do but if you have an HTML app, you have to design the report in Crystal and from your application, call the viewer. This will allow you to have the report appear in your program.
If you are talking about formatting the report, you can set each object as a class in your CSS and call it from your program.
I guess a little more information on what you are trying to accomplish may help answer your question more directly.
Thanks,
Brian

Extracting SQL Queries from Crystal Reports

I am trying to find a way or a utility to be able extract SQL queries from Crystal reports into a text file for documentation purposes. These queries are not in the repository, they were entered into each of the reports when the reports were being built and I can't find a way to extract them. Any ideas/suggestions?

Hello,
CR doesn't have the ability, and I don't recall if this has ever been asked previously. Great suggestion for the Idea Place tab in the up right corner of this page.
If you find a developer it's quite simple to get:
            // log onto the server and then get the SQL.
            rptClientDoc.DatabaseController.LogonEx("van-w-13-dwilli", "xtreme", "sa", "pw");
            GroupPath gp = new GroupPath();
            string tmp = String.Empty;
            rptClientDoc.RowsetController.GetSQLStatement(gp, out tmp);
            // show the SQL but easy enough to save the SQL text to a file.
            MessageBox.Show(tmp, "Data Source Set and SQL Statement", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
Of course you need to open the report first, lots of samples on how to...
Thank you

Using Queries in Crystal Reports

Hi all,
I know that creating a report in Crystal Reports is essentially creating a query, but I wanted to know if anyone knew of any ways to develop queries using the Query Generator in B1 and then use that query for a report in Crystal, possibly referencing or copying it?
Also, if anyone is familiar with union queries or sub queries, could you explain their more common uses?
Thanks for the help,
Todd

Hi Todd Linscott,
We have using this type of query in SAP in Query Generator
SELECT T0.[DocNum] as 'Invoice No.', T0.[DOCDATE] as 'Invoice Date', T0.[CardName] as 'Customer Name' ,
FROM OINV WHERE T0.[DOCDATE] >=[%0] AND T0.[DOCDATE]<=[%1]
For Crystal Report
SELECT T0.[DocNum] as 'Invoice No.', T0.[DOCDATE] as 'Invoice Date', T0.[CardName] as 'Customer Name' ,
FROM OINV WHERE T0.[DOCDATE >= {?FromDate} AND T0.[DOCDATE ]< = {?ToDate}
Pass Parameter in Crystal Report in thats type of syntax
When you have to add command Right side Parameter button will appear
For Layout pass
{?@Dockey}
This is must.
Thanks,

Cannot Edit Universe Query in Crystal Reports.

Hi,
We have Crystal Reports 2008 SP5 installed on a Terminal Server where our report developers can go to develop reports. We have a 4 node BOXI R2 SP4 cluster on the opposite side of a firewall, and have opened the firewall ports so that Crystal Reports can connect to this BOXI cluster and a universe on that cluster, and the developers can publish their reports.
For some developers, and the issue is intermittent for them, if they open one of those Crystal Reports to edit the universe query, they go into Database Expert and right click and choose Edit query, nothing happens. The Query Editor window does not open. They don't get any errors, other than the Universe Query editor window refuses to open. No errors on the BOXI server side either.
They can work for a few days and everything works fine, when suddenly this behavior starts. When they report the issue to me and I try it myself, it works fine. I've checked their access rights repeatedly and have even given a user temporary full admin rights to rule out any rights issues, but they stll get this behavior.Just as strange, the problem suddenly will disappear. Often, they will send me an message several hours or days later stating that everything is OK again and they can edit their universe queries in the same reports that refused to work earlier.
I've also checked the BOXI cluster nodes to see if possibly one of the services had a missing -requestport setting, and was choosing a random port that the firewall could be blocking, but everything looks fine. If I login to the BOXI cluster servers and try one of the reports, I can edit the query just fine.
Any suggestions? I'm at my wits end.
Edited by: Perry Provst on Nov 11, 2010 9:18 PM

I had the same issue and it was because the Universe is having Oracle as Database and I dont have any Oracle drivers installed on my machine. Once i have installed Oracle drivers i was able to view/edit the query panel.
Hope this would help you.

Perfromance problem when using MDX queries in Crystal

Dear All,
I am using Crystal reports together with an MDX query from the BI system. When I run the report in the Web then it takes 60 seconds to get results. When I use this query through MDX into a crystal report the query runs very long and in most cases ends up with the message :
Database connection error: 'No more storage space available for extending an internal table"
It looks like there is something going on with the definition of the query on the database when using the MDX drivers. Is There a way to solve this ?
I hear rumours that upgrading to EHP 1 Stack 3 solves performance problems arround MDX queries, but I cannot find prove anywhere. Without proof or an official statement I cannot advise the Customer.
Please Help,
Marcel

Hi Ingo,
This feature I did not use yet ;-).
The MDX looks like :
SELECT {[Measures].[4B78DNZSKX3JQCWJKSS9S421C]} ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0TERR2__Z0SALEM].MEMBERS, {[Z0TERR2__Z0SALEM].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0CUST].MEMBERS, {[Z0CUST].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([0DOC_NUMBER].MEMBERS, {[0DOC_NUMBER].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0TERR2].MEMBERS, {[Z0TERR2].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0ORDITEM__Z0CNVMAN].MEMBERS, {[Z0ORDITEM__Z0CNVMAN].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0CICL__Z0IMLG18].MEMBERS, {[Z0CICL__Z0IMLG18].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0DUMOVEN__Z0MOVDECR].MEMBERS, {[Z0DUMOVEN__Z0MOVDECR].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0BUSTRW].MEMBERS, {[Z0BUSTRW].[All]}), CROSSJOIN(EXCEPT([Z0BUSTSTW].MEMBERS, {[Z0BUSTSTW].[All]}), EXCEPT([Z0IBUSTRW].MEMBERS, {[Z0IBUSTRW].[All]})))))))))) DIMENSION PROPERTIES [Z0CUST].[20CITY], [Z0CUST].[2Z0CUST], [0DOC_NUMBER].[2Z0SALCRON] ON ROWS FROM [Z0SD_M04/Z0SD_M04_Q0021] SAP VARIABLES [0P_COAR] INCLUDING [0CO_AREA].[3100], [0P_COCD] INCLUDING [0COMP_CODE].[3110], [0GMFROM] INCLUDING [0FISCPER].[Y42009002], [0GMTO] INCLUDING [0FISCPER].[Y42009002], [!V000005] INCLUDING [Z0REJECFP].[Y42009002], [!V000006] INCLUDING [Z0REJECFP].[Y42009002], [ZP_CSDAT] INCLUDING [0CALDAY].[20090311]
Running the query in MDXTEST transaction with Flattening gives data in 10 minutes.
Running the query in multidimensional mode gives the same result.
How to proceed ??
Kind regards

Cross tab data is getting multiplied if i use multiple queris in asingle report

HI,
i am using multiple queris for displaying data and graphs(charts).
my requirement is to display 2 charts and data in crosstab in a single report.
all the three thing (2charts and crosstab) will use diffrent values.
I am writing 3 sql queries for getting appropriate values for charts and crosstab.
Now the problem, both charts and crosstab are taking the values of all 3 queris
i.e if i added crosstab first to the report values are coming correctly. After that if i add graph cross tab values are getting changed and graph values are not getting properly.
if i add graph first then its coming correctly.
if i tried to add all 3 components then values are going cores...... ?

When you say you are writing 3 sql queries what do you mean? Are you creating 3 SQL command objects in the database expert? If so this is your problem, Crystal will pull a cartesian product through (this is every possible combinatin of rows from the 3 queries).
If your 2 graphs and 1 crosstab are based on different datasets the way to approach this is to create each on a seperate report, then create a new blank report and add each of your 3 reports as subreports in the report footer.
Hope this helps,
Toby

Chart from data with two bex queries in crystal reports 4.0 for enterprise

Hi,
I'm fairly new to crystal reports and I have a requirement to show the data from 2 bex queries in one single cross table. is it possible ?
after getting it i should be able to create chart with that data
Eg: my table would be something like below :
               calendar day
Input     : 12      34     50     60
Output : 09     23     19     57
Input Data will be coming from one bex query
Out put data comes from another bex query
is it possible to merge the dimensions and then work on ????
any help is much appreciated

Hi Tanveer,
The only way you can add two BEx queries in a report is using a Subreport. The First BEx query goes in the Main Report and the second one goes in the Subreport.
You'll not be able to add the dimensions and measures from these two BEx queries in a Crosstab anyway. Perhaps, you could create a mock crosstab and send values (all rows) from the Main Report to the Subreport as a string however, I can see that it's going to get complex.

Hi Amol,
Are you able to execute your stored procedure from oracle?.
- If "Yes" then use the Crystal Report XIR2 Designer to create the report.
- Import this report in the Crystal Report For Eclipse Workbench.
- The latest version for Crystal Report For Eclipse is SP1.
Please let me know the results.
Thanks,

Using Sql Functions in Crystal Reports

Can SQL table-valued functions be used in Crystal Reports? The only options I see in the Database Expert are Tables, Views, and Stored Procedures.

Hi Dan,
Are you referring to user-defined SQL functions? If yes, then these are not accessible in Crystal Reports.
You would need to create a stored procedure which calls the function and does the processing and use this procedure in CR.

How to use CRAXDDRT.DLL in crystal report 2008?

Hello All,
We have purchased Crystal report 2008 Full software.
We need to insert BLOB field into Crystal report 2008 at runtime using *CRAXDDRT.DLL*.
How can I insert OLE object and bind it at Runtime using crystal report 2008?
Is it possible to insert Ole Object runtime using crystal report 2008? If yes how and if not is there alternative to perform this job.
Please let me know your feedback.
Thanks

CrxDDrt.dll is only provided in order for the Crystal Reports designer in the .NET IDE.
1) You are not licensed to use this CraxDDrt.dll
2) Even if you were, in previous versions of CR, there were licensing implications to using the craxDDrt.dll (read $$)
3) Once your project would be done, using CR 2008, you would not be able to distribute the runtime as there is no CR MSM or MSI that contains the craxDDrt.dll and it's supporting runtime.
In your original post you say:
"I need to show Word and Pdf file in to Crystal report 2008 using CRAXDDRT.DLL";
I do not understand why you'd need to do this using the craxddrt.dll? You should be able to insert a BLOB field using the RAS SDK for .NET and CR 2008. Now, one hting you will have to keep in mind. If you insert a multipage .doc or .pdf file into the report, you will only get the first page of that document. I suggest you try this in the CR designer first. Always remember that if you can not do a certain thing in the designer, you will not be able to do it at runtime either. Giving all the limitations above, if you are still interested in doing this using RAS, let me know and I'll set you up with some resources to get you going.
