Writing a custom plugin for Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
I need to add a custom functionality to Crystal Report Designer so that itu2019s available as a menu option is the CRD and should able to be selected by the Report Designer when they design a report using CRD. Is it possible to write and add custom plugins to the CRD? Is there a SDK available to do this or is there a specific method that I could use? Is this supported at all? I need to add the to Crystal Report Designer XI R2 but I could use Crystal 2008 is this is available in that version.
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Chanaka

  • Customer License for crystal report

    To Whom It May Concern,
    Hi, I am new to SAP. I am asking this questions on behalf of my company who are developing software for customers.
    We are using crystal report to develop our software to sell to our customers. My question is, does the customer compulsory to buy the license key to open it?
    Another question is, what is the visual advantage? Does it have an additional towards the crystal report?
    Hope to hear from you guys.
    Thank you.

    Hi there,
    For creating reports CR 2008 License key is required. But Customer can simply view the reports using CR Viewer.
    Visual Advantage is the combination of Xcelsius & CR.
    Hope it clarifies.
    Cheers,

  • Writing and including our own customer data source to Crystal Report Design

    Hi,
    I need to create a Crystal Report based on a locally stored XML and schema. I can do this but the issue Iu2019m facing is that some tags used in the schema and the format is not supported by Crystal. So my plan is to write a database driver which will take our format and then convert it to the format Crystal supports and vise versa. To do this before writing the driver I need to know if itu2019s possible to include my custom database driver source in to the list that is shown in the Crystal Report Designer when selecting a data source to create a report.  Is there such an API available so that I can plugin my data source to Crystal Report Designer? Is this at least possible to do or is there another way?
    Hope you can help me.
    Thanks you in advance.
    Regards,
    Chanaka

    Hi Chanaka,
    Not directly. If you base your driver on OLD DB or ODBC then it will show up in those lists.
    If you are planning on selling a lot of packages then you may want to contact our OEM Sales team and sign up. You'll have more resources to do customized features like this. Not sure if we can but the option is there.
    Thank you

  • Best practise BW Query design for Crystal Reports integration

    Hi all,
    I am looking for a guide on best practices when designing a BW Query to be used as data foundation for a Crystal Report.
    The scenario is that I am responsible for developing the Crystal Reports part, but not the BW Query part, therefore I would like to provide a list of best practises to the person who is responsible for the Query, this way make sure that the integration will work as good as possible. The setup is of course using BO Integration Kit for SAP.
    An example is how to use authorization variables in the query to provide data security. This is just one example, there are problably a number of other things to be aware of. A document containing suggestions for best practices is what I am looking for, or if the document does not exist, input to what should be on such a list.
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Rasmus

    Hi Rasmus,
    in regards to the Best Practices for Crystal Reports you can leverage all the knowledge you have on the Query Design today already. if you not the person for designing the query I think it is important to make sure people designing the queries do understand how Crystal Reports is leveraging the elements from the BI Query.
    /people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
    You should try to put as much as possible into the BI query from the logic point of view.
    and you can also build common BI queries - there is no need to build a BI query for each report.

  • I am looking for Crystal reports arleady designed.

    I am looking for Crystal reports already designed.  Does anyone know where I could fine them?

    Navin,
    Thanks for the reply, I have another question you might be able to answer.
    I have a picture field (blob field) on the same line as our Product ID field (regular data field) and i want the report to show the picture that goes with that Product ID. 50% of our products dont have pictures, so when I print the report, it currently prints large empty spaces for the Products that dont have pictures and makes the report quite long and unattractive.
    I have tried to supress the field and also put the field in its own section and use a formula for supressing if the data is blank, but I get the error message that says "Can not use a BLOB field in a formula".
    I need to find a way around this. Can you, or any of your experts help?
    I could send you the report with some data in it if that would help.
    Thanks again!

  • How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

    Hi,
    Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Sourashree,
    Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
    1.     New Report
    2.     From Create New Connection-> XML
    3.     Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
    4.     Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D  -> Finish
    Then I can see the following under XML
    + CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
            CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
    And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
    Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.

  • I too need a keycode for crystal reports 2008

    As you can see by the string of emails below I have been trying to get a valid key code to install the software for two or three weeks. Why is it so difficult to use something you already paid for. This is not very customer friendly.
    Hi Todd,
    Unfortunately I can not know what happened, you should access www.sdn.sap.com , go to foruns and ask for your license there,

  • How to register/configure a Data Provider with Crystal Report Designer

    Hi,
    Iu2019m in the process of developing an ADO .Net XML Data Provider which works with Data Sets. I want to use this custom Data Provider through Crystal Report Designer 2008 so that I can access it from the u201CStandard Report Creation Wizard\Available Data Sourcesu201D section. How can I do this? I read the following in the u201Ccreating custom adddins.docu201D documentation.
    u201CCrystal Reports (CR) 2008 installs a new managed dll called DotNetExternalCommandAdapter.DLL and installs it into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).  CR 2008 uses this dll to search and load files with a csc prefix in CR 2008u2019s AddIns subdirectory in a similar way it looks for database drivers, export drivers and UFLs. To create an Add-In the developer needs to reference this dll and inherit two classes from it, ICommand and ICommandDLL.u201D
    I have the following questions,
    1) As it mentions above how can I make Crystal find my custom Data Provider when it searches for the database drivers?
    2) Is there another class I can inherit from when creating my custom data provider? If so where can I find some documentation regarding this?
    3) Can I register my custom data provider in to the GAC and will Crystal find it if so how can I register my custom Data Provider? Will GACUtil work for Crystal as well?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Regards,
    Chanaka

    Baron, thank you for providing that link.
    Chanaka see if that article helps you out. It should - had I got to this thread earlier, I'd have sent that link also. Certainly DE place to start.

    I totally agree with Alex.
    With over 11,600 threads this forum is really "heavy".
    A few more categories would reduce the efford for searching and rise the effectiveness.
    This applies to a few more categories by the way.
    Nevertheless I'm also happy about the quit good support in this board.

  • SAP Crystal Report Designer

    Hi
    Does SAP Crystal Report Designer ( which is used to design reports , where these reports can be used in WPF Crystal Report Viewer , WinForms Crystal Report Viewer has Localization support) ,  has localization support , can we generate custom language assemblies and bind to Report Designer?

    What version of CR Designer?
    Have you consulted your CR Designer Help files? I suspect searching the help file for "localization" will give you quite a bit of informatoin. Also, don't forget to use the search box in the top right corner of this web page.

  • Data connection that isn't fully supported by this version of the Crystal Reports designer

    Post Author: arfetgas
    CA Forum: JAVA
    Hi im trying to view a simple report , this report have some parameters from a MS Access database.I  configure  everything, The ODBCJDBC bridge, the dns System on Windows, etc... and the problem its  like this,  I connect the database, but the schema its empty  , i cant map, the dinamic parameters of my report, with my access database.I have this errors  : at same time 1. This report uses a data connection that isn't fully supported by this version of the Crystal Reports designer.
    You can modify the report in the designer, but the following actions
    that access this connection will fail: Browse data, verify database,
    and report preview.  We recommend you set the datasource location to a
    JDBC or Java Result Set data source.  2.

    Hi Wendy Fu,
    Thanks for your feed back. I could see Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll to add as reference to my project. Actually I can open generated rdlc in designer, at run time I get error. I could not make out where is the exact mistake out of three
    options flashed.
    The definition of this report is not valid or supported by this version of Reporting Services.
    The report definition may have been created with a later version of Reporting Services
    or contain content that is not well-formed or not valid based on Reporting Services schemas
    Details: Data at the root level is invalid
    My web config has following references
    <add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/>
    <add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/>
    May be I have to change these versions to 9 or 10.
    First I will try adding Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll .
    Once thanks for your reply.

  • Viewing Report created in Crystal Report Designer

    <p>Hi,</p><p>I&#39;m new to CR4E and tries to work with existing report. I saw many error while trying this, please excuse me to the long email below that I explain all the errors I saw......</p><p>I have some reports that were created in Crystal Report Designer (CR XI Release 2) connecting to the Oracle Database using "Oracle Server" type connection. How can I access it from CR4E? I have the following problem (in the order I see them)</p><p>1) In the Eclipse&#39;s JSP page, I specified the full path to the report, but I get a report not found error. Must the report locate within the project? Is there any way we can open a report outside of the project?</p><p>2) I copied the report to the project, </p><p>    a) followed jrc_print_report example to print the report, get "JNDI name not found" error. </p><p>    b) then generate a viewer page, but I get the Driver "crdb_oracle.dll" is not supported error.</p><p>3) I setup the new JNDI followed the jrc_changedatasource.jsp example to change the datasource, but I still get the "JNDI name not found" error.</p><p>4) I imported the report intoEclipse and changed the connection. Then I can create a jsp page to print it to a printer (I still can&#39;t view it, but my goal is to print, so that&#39;s ok). However, </p><p>    a) the original report has a "Command" object from the Oracle database to control where to select the report&#39;s data, when I remap, this object disappear and I cannot see how to recreate it. Any suggestion?</p><p>    b) also, the report is very complex with many subreports and it will be nightmare to go in and change all of the datasource, also a maintenance nightmare to maintain two copies. Any better suggestions?</p><p>Thank you very much! Your help is very appreciated.</p><p>Celia</p>

    Hi Celia
    1. Yes the Java Reporting Component (JRC) which is the runtime component of the Crystal Reports for Eclipse can open reports outside the project.  Its often better to have the reports inside the project for deployment purposes but you are welcome to put the report where ever you need it.Â
    Note: To use absolute paths, ensure that the CRConfig.xml file does not contain a reportlocation tag.
    2. The JRC can't report off of Oracle directly, you would need to use a JDBC driver to connect your reports to Oracle. The crdb_oracle.dll will never connect because its not Java.Â
    3. When the JRC finds that the report is not using a supported database driver it will do a lookup to find the name of the report datasource. When it finds the datasource name it will then do a JNDI lookup for a JDBC datasource with the same name. If your Application server doesn't have a datasource with that name it will through the error you were seeing.Â
    4. I'm not sure about losing the Command object when changing the datasource but this is probably happening because the Command is linked to the database driver.
    5. What you could try doing is creating a JDBC Datasource on your application server where this app will run with a JNDI name that matches your report datasource name. If your reports datasource name is "MyOracleDatasource" then I believe the JNDI name for new JDBC Datasource would have to be "jdbc/MyOracleDatasource".
    You could give this a try.

  • JRC Export to Text like Crystal Report Designer Export

    We need to Export report to Text like Crystal Report Designer Export using JRC. Is this possible? I see export ReportExportFormat CSV, PDF and RTF only. These exports are working, But I need plain text that looks like Text export of Crystal Reports Designer. I see this working in RAS 2008. What I can do to get this with JRC. I am using Crystal Reports 2008 to design reports.
    Thanks for any help.

    Thank you Jitin.
    What could be solution to this problem?
    If still I want to go with JRC, Can I write some Java code to perform this export?
    I see TextExportFormatOptions and its not working.
    If I want to export automatically to text format, what other choices are there?
    Basically I need to execute report and generate text file automatically. Text file should look like Crystal Report Designer Exported Text file.
    Thank you for your time.
