2 BI Reports in one Crystal Report
Hi Guys
Can i have a crystal report that shows result of 2 BI Queries.. side by side or maybe one on top and other at bottom. can the users refresh both reports at the same time ?
If Crystal reports cant do this what about WEBI ?
thanks
You can take advantage of 'sub report' functions in CR. Return one of the query in main report and another one in subreport or you can create two sub reports under one main report.
In WebI, you can create many reports with different queries when you design the report, just right click the first report at the bottom of the design panel, each report displayed as a tab.
Thx, Hao

Multiple BW Reports in one crystal report
Hi All,
I'm very new to crystal reports. My next project is on Crystal reports.
I have a bw web report with 6 repots included in the web report.
Is it possible to inlcude 6 reports in a crystal report........i had seen the subreport option in crystal reports but here the reports are placed next to other instead of one below the other..........
if possible please suggest steps.........
regards,
RajRaj,
The easy way... Open a new report and place the 5 reports next to each other in the design window as sub-reports.

How to get one crystal report to work with two different backends?
We have a software that can work with either SQL2008 or Visual Fox Pro backend. We are trying to compile One Crystal report that will work with either of the two backends. How to you make sure that your Crystal Report is compiled so that it will work with both backends?
Right now my reports were originally created using the SQL2008 backend and are retaining the DBO reference in the statement, which then will not allow the Crystal report to work with the VFP backend.You can write your data sets as a command using hand coded SQL. As long as "dbo" is the only schema used in your SQL Server database, you don't need to specify it in the SQL. SQL Server will automatically assume the dbo.
The 2nd thing... The SQL needs to be 100% compatible with both SQL Server 2008 AND VFP. This will limit the list available functions to those that are common to both platforms AND work exactly the same in both platforms.
The other part is to make sure you are using an ODBC type connection instead of OLD/DB. That way all of the connection properties are set on the local machine and the report is simply looking for the System DSN name.

How do i access multiple bex queries in one crystal reports??
Hello Experts,
I have 10 cubes and 30 bex queries on it and i need to create 3 final crystal reports on these 30 queries.
I am on BI 4.0 & CR 2011. but my client is not on correct SAP patch ie., he is on 15+ but he must be on 23+ to access multiple bex queries on CR 2011 Database expert. (I am unable to see bex queries in Database expert to link couple of bex queries)
And my client env doesnt have SAP EP for SAP BW Netweaver Connection to create a connection to access cubes or queries in IDT.
Do my client env need EP? so that SAP BICS Connection will work in IDT?
How do i approach to achive this...
Thank you...Hi,
have you checked the option "allow external access" in your query? SAP Toolbar will find all queries but the database export needs this flag to be set.
Using multiple queries within one crystal report is using the "multi database join feature" of crystal reports. You can link your queries by key fields and crystal will join them in memory. So when there are many queries or many datarows this can be a huge performance killer.
Actuallly one of our customers is running a report which has more than 20 BEx queries linked together. It runs just fine.
Please be sure to set your joins correctly. E.g. crystal will try to make a join on the "key figures" sturcture if you let it create a suggestion or it will try to link on all fields of an infoobject. This will bring MDX errors.
So you should be setting your joins correctly - the [infoobject]-[20infoobject] fields are fine for that.
I hope you can use some of my words.

Multiple Reports inside one Single Report
Post Author: maximus85
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi....I'm having this problem of having multiple reports inside one single report. Basically what i wanted to built is a Dashboard that contains 4 main subjects:i)Sales - Contains graph that can be drill down for further detailsii)Internal Process - Contains tables that can be drill downiii)Profit/Lossiv)HRAs far as i know, since all four are of different fact table data, they cannot be all thrown inside one single report to be built on. So i came out with using subreports instead for each components and then finally putting them all together as subreport inside the main report(Dashboard).However, i just realized that by doing that, whenever i clicked on the reports that i wanted to drill down with, it will prompt that particular report that i clicked into a new page, and then from there only i can perform drill down.Is there anyway to enable me to straight away drill down the Sales and Internal Process reports from the main reports(Dashboard) instead of having to click twice as that will be unnecessary right?Or mayb if there's another better ways to do what I have to do? Please do advise and suggest......Thanks alot.......hi chack,
doesnt matter or preferrably both, as long as i can export all the reports in 1 page into 1 excel, or 1 pdf. -
Cannot Extract Embedded Font in PDF Report Generated Using Crystal Reports XI
The issue is that sometimes the PDF reports generated by Crystal Report XI are not showing the fonts properly. Arial font is used in the Crystal report template(.rpt file) for field label and data elements. When the report is opened in Adobe Reader, it displays the message - "Cannot extract the embedded font 'AAAAAA+ArialBold'. some characters may not display or print correctly." Other PDF Readers like Foxit show blank spaces instead. I tried to change the font to Courier New, Times New Roman etc but still getting the same message.
The issue is consistent when the application is deployed in Windows server. When deployed in Unix server the issue happens very occasionally. The font files are available and installed in the UNIX box.
Please tell me why this error message is shown and also tell me how to get it fixed.Hi Scot
Just replied to your email re. conf call.
In the meantime.
1st question.
Some of our developers are creating the reports under crystal 2008, while some are 2011.
Could this be a problem, when they are run by the SDK?
Should we upgrade all our developers to crystal 2011?
The version of CR a report is created in should not matter at all. I am 100% certain this is not the issue.
2nd question
When the report is run, to create the pdf... why would it actually embed the font on the pdf?
if they weren't embedded.. wouldn't it just pull up the proper font, if the user's pc had that font on their
pc?
if it does the common fonts aren't embedded, we would just have to worry about the things like
barcode 3 of 9
I can not answer this as that essentially is the way the product is designed. It may look like a limitation, but there are no work-arounds and I would not consider this to be a bug. Perhaps an enhancement, but a pretty faint hope there. And even if, enhancements take very, very low priority and take long, long time before implementation.
3rd question
Would the fonts, just need to be installed on the server? we've seen some indication, that they
also need to be in a java sub-directory
The fonts must be on the server as that is where the report engine does it's work, then the report is streamed to the user's browser. E.g.; there is no work done on the browser. Also, the process must have rights to access the fonts.
One last point. You mention deployment to Linux. Linux is not supported. Please see: SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Microsoft Visual Studio - Supported Platforms
I suspect this is more an issue with CR not working with the framework for Linux.
- Ludek -
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.
SanjayI 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?

Can we develop CRM report by using Crystal report?
Dear all expert,
There is a report in CRM PRD which our ABAP programmer had did one which is complicated and invovlving FM and method. but since we had purchase BOBJ, we would like to develop this report by using crystal report. Is it possible?
Thank You.hi Stratos and Ido.
Stratos, i had try to develop 2 report and had figure out on how to do it soon. but now i have another CRM report that need to be done first for the use of marketing meeting next week. The report is 90% done where there is one field which make my report cant be finish. once i put that field into the report, it return me all the values contain in it. This causing other field follow to duplicate as well. The situation is as below:
without that field, my report goes(A B C D is the field header):
A B C D
1 II $ +
2 I % -
The field from table TJ30T(E is the field header):
E
a
b
c
When i try to put the E field into my report:
A B C D E
1 II $ + a
1 II $ + b
1 II $ + c
2 i % - a
2 i % - b
2 i % - c
I had check the linkages, there is only one key linking which is CRM_JEST.ESTAT - > TJ30T.STAT. How to overcome the situation as i mention above?
Thank You. -

Report works in Crystal Reports, but not when scheduled in Crystal Server
Hi,
I have a pretty simple report designed in Crystal Reports 2008. Basically it shows a list of call notes (memo field) from customer activities in our CRM system. The report works fine in Crystal reports, but when run or scheduled in Crystal Server 2008 the output is always blank. Furthermore, the page format etc. is "lost" in crystal server, so that the output is PDF of a quadratic blank sheet (not my standard A4 format)... Exporting to other formats - excel, Word etc. all gives the same result.
I have tried to strip out various formulas, formatting etc from the report, but nothing helps. Which leads me to thinking that the real problem is that the report contains a memo field? Anyone else had this problem?

Edited by: Claus Poulsen on Nov 9, 2010 3:34 PMHi Claus,
I've had issues between what Crystal does and what the Report Server does. To resolve this, we found out Crystal Reports 2008 latest service pack has some things that will fix Server 2008 and they aren't in the latest Server update.
We updated Crystal Reports 2008 on our machines. Installed the latest update for Crystal Server and then installed Crystal 2008 on the Report Server and installed the Crystal Reports 2008 update. A lot of our compatibility issues went away after that.
Good luck,

Views on CF Report Builder and Crystal Report
Dear all,
I would like to get your opinions on CF Report Builder and
Crystal Report.
As we all know, CF Report Builder is a new reporting tool.
But I find it very difficult to design a complex report maybe due
to limitation in its functionalities. Sometimes the tool shutdowns
by itself without any warning and reason. But the output is nicely
presented on a flash paper / pdf and it can be run on non-MS
platforms.
On the other hand, Crystal Report is a more matured product
but runs only on MS platform. It is very easy to use and very
powerful. I have been using it for almost 10 years. But the output
is not nicely presented on the web browser unless if we purchase
Crystal Report Enterprise to generate the report which is very
costly.
Can you all share your views? I need to make decision which
tool(s) to use. Really appreciate it.
Cheers,
KeikoHi Keiko,
Yes, CF Report builder is new and initially there was few
issues with this. But I guess now it's good after hotfixes.
Well, I am using CF Report Builder. It's good for me. You can
also design and develop complex reports, that depends upon the
query you are writing. You can also add subreports to your main
reports.
Mainly CF Report is platform independent and you can also
generate reports in PDF, EXCEL and FlashPaper.
Crystal Report is no doubt is very good, and it's there for
long years. I agree you can create complex reports with this, but
you also can do the same in CF also. You are using this for last 10
years, so I guess you should try something new and that is CF
Report Builder and you can judge then.
I am sure you will have fun with CF.
Thanks

Is it possible to programmatically replace a Sub Report in a crystal report
We create crystal reports via the crystal report designer (not in any IDE) , and attach the reports directly to the database via stored procedures. Each report contains a page header and a page footer with patient demographic data. We distribute these reports to our customers and they may edit the templates and alter the page header and page footers specific to their needs.
We are looking at using sub reports to build a "model" page header and page footer that would be inserted into each template at design time. What we would like to do is allow the customers to create their own sup reports to contain their custom page header / page footer and then programmatically replace the " model" sub reports with the custom sub reports. Please note that these sub reports would not contain any data access and would not be linked to the main report, rather the main report would assign the data that is displayed in the page header/page footer data to shared variables, and the sub reports would use the shared variables as their data source to display the data.
Is it possible to programmatically replace 1 sub report with another ? If so are there any code snippets to review -Yes it is. Submit your post to which ever SDK you are using into the Developer forums. But search the posts first and look in our samples. This is relatively easy to do.
Thank you

Difference between Crsytal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4
difference between Crystal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0?
I think Crystl Reprt 2011 has more function, is it right?Hi,
I recently attended a SAP Virtual trianing on SAP Business Objects BI 4.0.
Here are few extracts from that which probably shows some light to you:
SAP Crystal Reports 2011
1. UI and associated processing servers remain the same as CR 2008
2. Incremental update to CR 2008 with a few new features*
3. Continue to provide current CR 2008 functionality as-is for existing customers
SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0
1. Major update & redesign of the Crystal Reports Designer and associated processing servers
2. Focus on streamlined report design, reporting against BI 4.0 Universe, & reporting against SAP BW data
3. Provide the foundation for all future releases of Crystal Reports
Differences between these two releases:
Data Source & Usage Type General Recommendation
1. SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0 SAP Crystal Reports Relational Universe (UNX) for Enterprise
OLAP Universe (UNX)
2. SAP NetWeaver BW 7 BEx Query (BICS) SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise
3. SAP NetWeaver BW 3.5 BEx Query SAP Crystal Reports 2011
4. SAP Profitability Cost Management SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise through Analysis View
SAP Strategy Management
SAP Budget, Planning and Consolidation
SAP Extended Analytics
5. Platform Driven Alerting SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise
6. Business Views SAP Crystal Reports 2011
7. Direct RDBMS or OLAP access SAP Crystal Reports 2011
