A Problem about Legend in Designing Crystal Reports Chart

Hi, everyone, I'm here again.
I'm designing a chart in CR designer. As is shown below.
When I print the chart with color, it is perfect.
But when I print with only black and white, it is hardly to recognize which is C1, which is C2, which is C3..........
So I want the legend show different shapes, for example, C1 -- round, C2 -- rectangle, C3 -- star.........
like the below picture.
Legend I want
So, how can I do to accomplish it.
Thanks.

Hi Sastry,
First I don't fully understand the "marker" you mentioned == legend I said?
I mean this
If they are the same,
I tried your method but It seems work not well.
In the design mode, I can only select the whole chart, as is shown below.
then I can only do a little with the marker, set the marker location and color.
But I can't change the shapes.
So is there something wrong?

I am afraid you have come to the wrong place. MS does not support Crystal reports except for
"Microsoft supports setup and installation for the Crystal Reports products shipped with the Professional and Enterprise Editions of Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows versions 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0."
For other support you need to contact
For other Crystal Reports support, please do not contact Microsoft. Please contact Crystal Decisions (formerly Seagate Software), which now owns and supports Crystal Report Writer.

Problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008

Dear all,
I have problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008.
when I created some parameters and groups in Crystal Report 2008, they showed both parameters in 'Parameter button' and group in 'Group button' on the left, so I can choose or type without clicking 'Refresh button' But when I added it to Crystal Report Server 2008 and I click parameter button , it doesn't show any parameter. Only click refresh button to choose them. On the other hand, for 'Group Tree' is ok. When go to Default Setting-> Parameter, all parameters are in 'Unused parameter' First time I think I had problems with my installation, but when I reinstalled it again, it was like before.
Could any one help me with this?
I appreciate looking forward to your reply

Design Crystal Report in VS2012

Hello Everybody..!!!
I need your help.. i want to provide resume printing facility in my web application using crystal report..
so how can i design crystal report in resume format???
I saw many example but it only shows output in table format but i want to print resume.. wait for your suggestions..
Thanks in advance.. !!!

Designing a crytal report in your case is a quite easy, since no complex functionality exist, it's just and a drag and drop + styling work. To start (I'm supposing that you already have Crystal Report engine installed) check this beginnger tutorial
to add the data source:
http://www.crystalreportsbook.com/Crystal_Reports_Net_Ch01_1.asp
The second thing is to understand the section of Crystal Report (Header, footer...) in order to know which sections you need and where to put every resume content, I'm seeing that most of the content will fall into Details section, but that is for you to
decide. Here is a reference for this task:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms314197(v=vs.71).aspx
the final step is the format and it will be quite similar to what you've seen in office applications, and here a basic format tutorial also:

Hope this help.

Error Bars - Can Error Bars be added to Crystal Report Charts

I am trying to add or create "error bars" in my cystral report chart (graph). I can add "error bars" in an Excel sheet chart (graph) but I cannot find the functionality in crystal reports.
Is it possible to "error bars" to a crystal report chart. If so, how?

Hi,
I don't see that this functionality or this kind of chart exists in CR.
I would suggest that you log an Enhancement Request at http://ideas.sap.com and let our developers look into this.

Crystal Report Chart Problem: No trendlines with regression

Hi,
I have a severe problem with chart trendlines in Crystal Reports 2008 (12.3.0.601).
Trendlines with regression do not work, whereas average and moving average work on charts with data axis but not with numerical axis.
Does anyone has an idea, how to solve it.
Best regards
Michael

hi,
Try to create a bar chart with Year, Quarter as dimensions and Sales revenue as measure.
Now your chart has legend which shows quarter values.
Right Click the Legend value Q1 -> Series Options -> Trendline.
Choose the required regression type: Linear/ Polynomial/ Logarthmic/ exponential/ Moving Average.
This will show the required trend line.

Problems with concurrency tests using Crystal Reports for VS 2005

Post Author: condeagustin
CA Forum: General Feedback
Hi
My name is Agustin and Im using Crystal Reports for VS 2005
and NET 2.0 to generate pdf files. This is the scenario:
I created a COM+ object in c# and everytime the
COM+ creates an instance of this object, the following flow is executed:
it reads an xml file from a database, then it feeds the report with this
xml file, afterwards it generates a pdf file and finally this pdf file is
inserted into the database. Both fields (xml and pdf fields) are varbinary in the
same table in sql server 2005. All the flow from reading the xml to inserting
the pdf into the database is executed in memory, it never goes to the hard
disk. In other words both the xml and the pdf file are stored in memory (the
RAM). That is the only function of that COM+ object and I already have it in a
production server and it works GREAT!!
The PROBLEM is the concurrency tests. I made the following tests
in the same production server:
1. First I went to the registry and I set the PrintJobLimit to
100 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECrystal Decisions10.2Report Application
ServerServer
2. I shut down the object in the COM+ and I executed 100
threads all at the same time. Each thread created one instance of the object in
the COM+ and the 100 pdfs were generated SUCCESFULLY in 5 minutes!!
3. Then I executed again 100 threads (WITHOUT shutting down the
object in the com+). 10 pdfs were generated succesfully but the rest were
never generated and there was no exception because my object was NEVER
INSTANTIADED in the COM+, I mean, the 90 instances were never created in the
COM+, so my object was never executed, THAT IS MY PROBLEM!! Do I have to
modify something in the registry files of crystal reports to fix this? What can
I do? I have revised the code in that object a LOT OF TIMES and believe me,
everything is being closed and disposed at the end (the memory streams, the
ReportClass objects, the connection to the database, even the dataset used to
store the data of the xml file!
So to sum up the problem is not with the execution of my object
(cause once is created the object works great and the pdf is generated
perfectly!), the problem is with the com+ TRYING to create another instance
of my object given that test scenario. Help me please, What do you
suggest?
The production server has this specifications:
Operative System: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 2
Processor: Dual Core AMD Opteron 2212 2.00GHz
RAM: 820MB
Hard drive: It is partitioned in 2 drives --> C
drive has 20GB and D has 60GB
Note: Each generated pdf has only one page and if you bring it
to disk its maximum size is 56KB
I hope your answer and thank you

Problem with vertical text in crystal report viewer

Hi,
I am displaying vertical text in crystal report designer and deploying the report in crystal reports server 2008. The deployed report is being displayed using JAVA in crystal report viewer control.
Problem: Vertical text header is getting collapsed wth other vertical headers.
Please help on this.
Thanks,

Hi Vijay,
I found out another method of retaining all the chart formatting that is done in the preview pane.
Once you have done all the changes then you will find interestingly there is a chart menu option that appears in the tool bar. Once you click on it there is an option "Apply Changes to All Charts".
Select that option, close your preview. Open it once again and you will find that all the settings are still there and the Web Viewer is able to display them properly.
I think that I resolved this.

Strange problem with publication based on crystal reports, bwquery and DynR

Hi everybody,
I found the following behaviour when executing a publication based on a crystal reports document ontop of a BW query and dynamic receipients. This is what the personalisation looks like:
_____________________Default Value
PARAM1____________ null____________ @param1 based on my dynamic receipient list
PARAM2____________ null____________ @param2 based on my dynamic receipient list
PARAM3____________ 10____________ Default value for all receipients
When executed this happens:
- the publication starts
- the query is executed with the default values for the parameters
- the query is executed for every receipient with the correct, personalised parameter values
I am sure, the the query is executed with non personalised values because a) there is a cache entry on bw site and b) when one of the parameters is filled with an invalid default entry under personalization I get an bapi error.
I am not 100% sure but I think this problem is new since SP3 or a 3.x fixpack. Has anyone faced the the same problem yet? Maybe Ingo knows something about it.
Thank you very much in advance!
Kind regards,
Thorsten

Hi Ingo,
thank you very much for your reply. I am speaking of the default value entered under personalization in the publication in CMC or InfoView.
The report only has parameters based on BEx varialbes.
If needed I can post some screenshots.
Kind regards,
Thorsten

Problems printing pdfs generated by Crystal Reports X

The printers in our office area were recently upgraded to Xerox Work Centre 5632 printers using Managed Print Service. We are now having issues printing reports from within the application to any of these newly defined printers. The Arial font, which is commonly used on the majority of our report templates, is displaying as a series of squares with readable letters or numbers thrown in randomly. I don't know if the issue is limited to Arial, or if other fonts behave similarly. I have tried to print several different reports to several different print servers and printer combinations, all with the same result. When viewing the report online, or saving as PDF and viewing, it looks fine. If we save the report as a PDF, then select "print as an image" (on the advanced tab of the print menu), the report will print correctly.
Is there any way to either change the report design or a setting in Crystal Reports to prevent this from happening ? This problem did not occur when using a different printer.

This is not a Crystal Reports issue. It is a printer (or printer driver) issue. Does the printer support Arial font???
HTH,

Problems with publications with a Crystal Reports file under BW Query

This one is the problem. The client has a query in SAP with an own parameter of this query. This parameter is a varchar (4) that it stores numerical values (0001,0002,0003... 0099).
This parameter in SAP's query has it defined that admits range (we can put from 0020 to 0036 and will show 0020, 0021, 0022, 0023, 0024... up to 0036)
The topic is that we put that the value of this parameter is 0020 (without range), we obtain EDGE's
mistake
SAP query has the parameter defined that admits range, but we spend the only value to him and it gives us this mistake.
It seems like the format in which it is necessary to indicate in the profile had to be a specific (p.e. range(0020) or or )
We've tried several formats and none works, always it gives us mistake!
And we cannot change the SAP query because there are a lot of them and they're a part of business
SAP Note 1544713 says "Modify the SAP BW Query so that the parameter accepts only distinct values."
We've made this and IT DOESN'T WORK!!!
Reproducing Issue
- The source document is a Crystal Report based on an SAP BW query with
a parameter that accepts distinct values
- The destination is email.
- The recipients are Enterprise Recipients from a Crystal Report
Bursting is set one fetch per recipient
- "Método masivo de informes" is set to "Una búsqueda de base de datos
por destinatario (recomendado si se usa seguridad de nivel de fila
dentro de universos o vistas empresariales)"
We assign to a Query parameter (varchar) value by profile (set value to
0023) and it give us an error (it's log file error, in spanish)

Problem Change SAP Query in Crystal Reports

Hi,
i have a problem with changing a SAP Query in an Crystal Reports.
I build a Report with a Query(1) and Design the Report complet everything works fine.
I make a new Query(2) and if i make a new Crystal Report with this new Query everything works fine.
Now my problem is i would like to use the design of the first report. Therefore i open the first report and save it under a new name. Delete all Database fields and delete the database connection.
Now i gave in the new database connection to the new query(2) and in the Database fields i see a lot of Fields but not the right ones. Its completly wrong. Is there anybody how know this problem?????

Hi i solved my problem by myself.
I have to set Query as external available and have to use the MDX Query.
Its strange because if i build a new report the query dont have to be set as external available.

License problem when trying to install Crystal reports XI on Win 7

I'm trying to install Crystal Reports XI on a machine with Win 7, the installation in successful on older machines with Win XP.
I'm trying to upgrade the programs we use at work, but this install fails.
The installer doesn't accept my old license/registration/activation codes.
How do I solve that?
Do we need to buy new licences for our development?
Is there anyone I should mail about it?

Hello,
One problem is XI is not supported on Windows 7. Multiple configuration problems with DEP. You may have to turn it off completely. Search forums on DEP and you'll find lots of postings on how to.
It's possible the the keycode.dll can not be register. Try copying it to our install folder if it's not there already and then use regsvr32.exe "path to dll.keycode.dll" and then try again.
If that doesn't work you have a few options, use Process Monitor to see what's missing or upgrade to CR XI R2 ( 11.5 ) for free. Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
SP 6 does support Windows 7. Only issue is exporting to MAPI ( Outlook 2007 e-mail ) and it's bee tracked and the fix should be out sometime this year.
Other common issues is possibly the 1.1 and 2.0 .NET framework is not there or needs to be updated.
YOU also MUST be a local PC Administrator and have full rights to install programs, browse to the setup.exe and right click on it and then select Run as Administrator, that may fix the issue also.
Thank you
Don

Problem connecting to salesforce with crystal reports

I have downloaded the java Java SE Development Kit 6u7 (First Customer Ship) and then downloaded crystal reports. Every time I try to connect to saleforce via CR it takes about 10 minutes and then I get this error message: invalid argument provided, java server startup failure, verify the path (jdk), classpath,and IORfilelocation in the crconfig.xml file, In addition verify you are using JDK 1.5
What can I do to solve this problem? Please help me! Thank you

Fahad,
I do not think you need to reinstall the CR application, but I would suggest to apply the following knowledgebase article steps. Couple of comments: 1. you do not have to delete CRConfig.xml on the second step - just rename it to CRConfig.old 2. You do not have to download new driver - you already have one, just reinstall it.
1197347 - Error: "Invalid Argument provided. Details: Java Server startup failure.."
when connecting to Salesforce.com from Crystal Reports XI
Symptom
When attempting to connect to a valid Salesforce.com professional account from Crystal Reports XI, the following error message appears:
"Invalid Argument provided. Details: Java Server startup failure. Please verify the PATH (JDK), CLASSPATH and IORFileLocation properties in the CRConfig.xml file. In addition, please verify you are using JDK 1.4."
Cause
The error message is caused by an older version of the Crystal Reports Salesforce.com driver not connecting with professional accounts. Other error messages may include "Failed to establish a connection."
Resolution
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Close Crystal Reports.
Verify that you have at least version 1.4 of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) by opening Internet Explorer and clicking on Tools > Sun Java Console. If the Java Console Message says "Java Plug-in 1.4.0_00. Using JRE version 1.4.0_00 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM" or higher you are using the correct version of the JRE.
Go to the appropriate directory for your version of CRXI and back up the CRConfig.xml file, then delete it.
If you are using CRXI R1, the directory will be C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\Java, and if you are using CRXI R2 the directory will be C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\3.5\Java.
Reopen Crystal Reports; CR will recreate the CRConfig.xml file when you reopen the program. When the "Installing" message box disappears, close CR.
Search for sfdc.msi on your computer. This is the installation file for the Salesforce.com driver. When you double-click this installation file, you will be asked whether you want to repair or uninstall the Salesforce.com driver. Uninstall the driver. Delete all existing sfdc.zip files or unzipped sfdc files and directories including the sfdc.msi file you just executed.
Download the latest version of the Crystal Reports Salesforce.com driver, available from http://ftp1.businessobjects.com/outgoing/sales/sfdc_driver.zip. Unzip the zipfile to a convenient temporary location that you will be able to find; for example, your desktop.
Run the new sfdc.msi installation file; the installation file will install the latest version of the Salesforce.com drivers.
You should now be able to connect with Salesforce.com from CRXI using a valid username and password.
