Crystal Reports with BEx Query using Custom Exit Variable

Hi,
We have BW BEx Query using Customer User Exit variable to derive the Fiscal Week for Last Year (called it VAR2) based on another user input variable Current Fiscal Week (called it VAR1).
VAR2 is derived from VAR1 in CMOD via some codings and thus it DOES NOT have the "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx. VAR1 is user input variable, so it has "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx.
When we create a Crystal Reports with the BEx Query using variable VAR2, and when we run it we got an error message saying "Failed to execute query; '[]<java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: No Selection State Support!ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK>'. Redesign your query or contact the data source maintainer to solve the problem". (note: ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK is VAR2 in this case).
Could anyone please assist? Surely, CR supports BEx customer user exit variables like the above, right?. I also refer to the forum below as it seems to have a similar issue (except mine with an error message), but it does not provide a solution in it.

Hi Vibhav,
We have the SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI4.0 Version 14.0.0. Not sure if SP0 or other SP, got to check with Basis Team later.
We tried that "mandatory" option and did not work either.
Anyway, SAP has now come back again saying it is something they will fix it in next release/version. We got a phone call from them and a reply below to our OSS.
23.08.2011 - 08:20:49 CET - Info for Customer by SAP
I have raised this issue on the Idea#s Place as an enhancement request
on the below link:
https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/5586
This ER contains the information of including the customer exit
variables in the report without checking the #input for ready# option.
This ER can be considered for being implemented in the future
versions. You can refer to SAP Note: 1515837 - How To: Enhancement

Accessing Crystal Reports XI from ASP

Post Author: cutedude43
CA Forum: General
I need to access Crystal reports from ASP. The catch is Crstal Reports XI is not installed on the web server where the ASP application is hosted. However there is another machine where Crystal Reports XI is installed. Can you please let me know, in detail, how I could view crystal reports through the ASP application under this scenario. If this is possible please also detail the required run time files that needs to be deployed on the web server where the ASP application is hosted.
If this is not possible, please detail the other ways through which I can invoke the crystal report from my ASP application page.
Thanks
Vaidyanathan

The only code you will find on this web site is for VB 6. I have a few C++ apps. Not knowing a thing about flex, I am not sure if either of those will be of any use to you(?). Other than that, see if you can find some flex forum and ask there...

Pass along Crystal Report file name on export to Excel

Hello, I am using Crystal Reports 10 and create numerous Crystal reports, all of which end up being exported out to Excel. Is there a way to export the name of the Report or its file name out to Excel as well? I work with so many reports that I can't always trace back the Excel version of the report back to its Crystal report roots.
Thank you.

Hi
In field explorer Use Special Field called File Path and Name drag and place it in Report Header
If you want just the report Name then use Report Title.
Cheers

Overwrite crystal report file name with new version but keep history

I am writing a Crystal Reports .NET SDK in C# code to upload a crystal report files from its destination to CMC folder on BO XI R2 Platform.
On "Upload Button" click_event, validate the two check boxes controls named "Keep History", and "Remove History". Once "Keep History" check box is selected, check If the SAME report file name exists in the same destination CMC folder, if Yes, overwrite it BUT Keep the History and all its associated objects like "recurring objects". If "Remove History" is selected, then remove the existing report and upload the new report file name.
Please provide me some codes on how to do this task. This is definitely a "WIN" - "WIN" effort and contribution to my Team Goals.
P.S. This is a similar scenario when you are uploading report on BO Enterprise R2 CMC.
When Uploading a new report to a folder but same report file name exists, the BO System will promt message "Report File Name" already exists. Do you want to Overwrite it?" If Yes, then system will overwrite the file but it will keep the history and recurring objects.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bien

Crystal Reports for VS2010 using a custom SAP ABAP function module data source

I recently worked with Crystal Reports 2011 and was able to connect and retrieve data from our R/3 system via an ABAP function module. While researching other features, I found this version that can be installed into Visual Studio 2010. The parameters are not very user friendly in Crystal Reports so I was hoping to create a custom dialog to collect my report parameters.
Does anyone know if I were to install Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010, would I be able to design a front-end selection screen in a Visual Basic form and then pass the input to through the Crystal Reports connection to my ABAP function module to retrieve the data filtered on the back-end by the selection screen parameters and return the results to be reported in the Crystal Reports output?
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Professional Visual Basic with the .NET Framework 4.0 on 32-bit Windows 7. I was able to connect to our R/3 system in Crystal Reports 2011, so if I were to install Crystal Reports for VS2010, would there be a similar way of connecting to SAP?
Any assistance or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan

Hello Bryan
I don't know for sure, but I doubt this will work in CRVS2010. Only hope is that the utility available for download in this KBA will point you in the right direction.

Exception when there is "~" in the Crystal report applicaiton name

Hi all,
I am new in using the Crystal report and i faced the follwing problem:
1. I am using Crystal report for eclipse version 1.0.8.v1541.
2. The application name with which the Crystal reports are deployed on the engine contains "~" in the name.
3. In the jsp I use the following code to request the report:
ReportClientDocument reportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDocument.open("CrystalReport_IssuesPerCategories.rpt", OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
4. I get the following exception :

(When I try to run the jsp from an application with a name without "~" in it everything works ok.)
Is this a bug? Is there some work around? Or maybe it is a fixed in some newer version?
(I am using NWDI + CBS as a build sustem and the ~ in the name is added automaticaly , so i cant skip it)
Thanks in advance!

Accessing Crystal Reports 12 report from a CF7/8 Web Application

Beside exporting the Crystal Reports 12 report to PDF, HTML,

I've tried using cfreport, but with no success!?

Cannot access Crystal Reports after adding SP1

On a new install of Crystal Reports 2008 I downloaded and added SP1 (cr121_clickonce.zip) to try to update my .NET to the new version of Crystal. I now get the error message:
The procedure entry point ?PrintLegend@CMapXLegend@CSLib300@@QAEXJJJJJ@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library cslibu-3-0.dll.
I also added the update from 'cr120_redist_install.zip' which will allow my users to access the .NET files and programs they need. (This I did only on one machine to test its success)
I am sure it is a case of inexperience but can you help me get back in business with Crystal Reports 2008

Hmmm, "... I downloaded and added SP1 (cr121_clickonce.zip)"
That file is not the SP 1 download. Sp 1 is here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100010503722008E/cr2008_sp1.exe
So. At this point, I'm not really clear as what has been done and why.
E.g.; "...I downloaded and added SP1 (cr121_clickonce.zip) to try to update my .NET to the new version of Crystal"
- this sounds kinda muddled up...
And this: "I also added the update from 'cr120_redist_install.zip' which will allow my users to access the .NET files and programs they need. " also does not sound right.
I'd recommend uninstalling CR 2008 on your development system. Reinstall and then Apply SP 1 from the above link. This will update you to CR 2008 SP1 on the development computer.
Now, if you are then trying to deploy a .NET app to a client, use the MSI from here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011722132008E/cr121_redist_install.zip
or you can build your own deployment project using the msm from here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100011715292008E/cr121_mm.zip

User cannot access Crystal reports after user was deleted and recreated

We are using Crystal Enterprise XIr2. We are using Windows AD authentication. We had an issue with a user where they were deleted in Active Directory. Now they can no longer run Crystal reports. When I go into the CMC and open users I see this user. When I try to open this user I get the following error
There was an error while retrieving data from the server: Active Directory Authentication failed to get the Active Directory groups for the account with ID "8B003DF11D45B244AC3B61AB36B6C445:ALLENDG". Please make sure this account is valid and belongs to an accessible domain.
I think Crystal is still trying to access the user's old Active Directory account.
I cannot delete the user either in CMC.
Is there someway I can correct this user.
Thanks
Adam

Arjun - Thank you for your help. I looked in Central Management Console but I could not find what you indicated.
CMC--> Public Folder --> Administration Tools
In administration tool, there are two objects
1) Update Windows AD Group Graph
2) Update Windows AD Group Graph and Aliases --> Right click on this Report and click on RUN Now.
I ended up deleting the records for this user in these SQL tables and then user could access InfoView
CMS_Aliases5 (2 records for this user)
CMS_InfoObjects5 (1 record with both aliases)

Use of GUID to Access Crystal Report on BW Server

Hi,
In the iView we have an option to select the "BusinessObjects Enterprise Report Type" = bw_id.
As I understand this allows us to add a Crystal Report to the portal which are held on the BW Server as long as we enter the GUID in "BusinessObjects Enterprise Report ID".
What do we enter for "Application Parameters" and "Application Parameters"
Thanks,
Leo

Hi,
that depends on the actual application you entered. the application is also an open entry and you could create your own application and then enter additional parameters if needed

Hi Vangelis,
Here's a simple VB class that has functions for setting the login details for the report and passing parameters.
Option Strict Off
Option Explicit On
Public Class CrystalFunctions
    Enum ParamType As Integer
        Int
        Text
    End Enum
    Public Shared Sub SetCrystalLogin(ByVal sUser As String, ByVal sPassword As String, ByVal sServer As String, ByVal sCompanyDB As String, _
           ByRef oRpt As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument)
        Dim oDB As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Database = oRpt.Database
        Dim oTables As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Tables = oDB.Tables
        Dim oLogonInfo As CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo

            oLogonInfo = oTable.LogOnInfo
            oLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = oConnectInfo

        For Each oSection In oSections
            oRptObjs = oSection.ReportObjects
            For Each oRptObj In oRptObjs
                If oRptObj.Kind = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject Then

                    ' Open the subreport
                    oSubRpt = oSubRptObj.OpenSubreport(oSubRptObj.SubreportName)
                    oDB = oSubRpt.Database
                    oTables = oDB.Tables
                    For Each oTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In oTables
                        oLogonInfo = oTable.LogOnInfo
                        oLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = oConnectInfo
                        oTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(oLogonInfo)
                    Next
                End If
            Next
        Next
    End Sub
    Public Shared Sub SetCrystalParams(ByVal sFieldName As String, ByVal iDataType As ParamType, ByVal sVal As String, ByRef oRpt As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument)
        Dim oFieldDefs As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ParameterFieldDefinitions
        Dim oFieldDef As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ParameterFieldDefinition
        Dim oParamVals As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValues
        Dim oDiscreteVal As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue
        oFieldDefs = oRpt.DataDefinition.ParameterFields
        oFieldDef = oFieldDefs(sFieldName)
        oParamVals = oFieldDef.CurrentValues
        oParamVals.Clear()
        oDiscreteVal = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue()
        Select Case iDataType
            Case ParamType.Int
                oDiscreteVal.Value = System.Convert.ToInt32(sVal)
            Case ParamType.Text
                oDiscreteVal.Value = sVal
        End Select
        oParamVals.Add(oDiscreteVal)
        oFieldDef.ApplyCurrentValues(oParamVals)
    End Sub
End Class
And here's how you would use them:
' Create an instance of the Crystal report
_rptCrystal = New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument()
_rptCrystal.Load(_oSBO.AddonPath + "\Reports\MyReport.rpt")
' Call SetCrystalLogin to see the logon information for all report tables
CrystalFunctions.SetCrystalLogin(sUser, sPassword, _oSBO.SboCompany.Server, _oSBO.SboCompany.CompanyDB, _rptCrystal)
' Set my report parameter value
CrystalFunctions.SetCrystalParams("MyParam", CrystalFunctions.ParamType.Int, 999, _rptCrystal)
' Print the report straight to the printer
_rptCrystal.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
The other way to approach this solution would be to base your Crystal report on a .NET dataset rather than a database connection. However, as you've already written your report, the code above is going to be simpler to implement.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Crystal Report Server XI, adding a custom variable destination

Hello and thanks for any help on this.
I am relatively new to CR Server and have a need to create and use a custom variable in a scheduled report. Basically I want to place this variable in the report destination email body.
It looks like there are some pre-built variables to choose from like:
%SI_STARTTIME%
%SI_USERFULLNAME%
Is it possible to create new variables and use them on the report destination section?
Thanks again,
Eric

Crystal reports server and microsoft access db

Hi
I have created a Crystal Report using Crystal Reports XI. In terms of a datasource I simply used a unc path to the actual mdb file.
I can open the report local on the PC in CR XI and the report runs no problem however I have deployed to our Crystal Reports server XI so that users can use it.
The problem is that when I try to run the report from the Info view console it keeps asking me for a user id and password. I have logged into the CMC admin console and looked at the properites of the report and the process/database tab however not matter what I configure in there it either asks for the username and password or says invlaid object when I try to view the report.
I have created other reports which have used an SQL database as the data source and published them to the CR Server and they work no problem so I am guessing I need to change something for using an Access DB as the dataource. Not usr eif that change is in Crystal Reports XI or Crystal Reports Server?
Can anyone help?
Many thanks
