Adding a Crystal Report (report or layout) in a specific menu location

Hi,
i want to import a CR Report through SDK.
I found an example in the sdk help center. You can find it searching 'Adding a Crystal Report (report or layout)'.
It works but going in the Report and layout manager i find it under 'Lost Reports'.
i cannot find a way to specify the MENU LOCATION just like the Import Wizard allows.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Paolo

hi how you solve this??

Crystal Report print layout error during print preview

Hi Everyone,
When I try print preview a marketing document, it will work the first time, and then when I try to print preview again it brings up a window asking me to login into the database with the sa username and password.
When putting in the correct password, the login fails.
When I click cancel, SAP hangs up and requires a restart.
All print layouts were done in Crystal Reports, and imported via the report layout manager.
This occurs on all marketing documents where there is a crystal print layout.
Anyone will be able to help me with this?
Thanks

Hi Rahul,
Your solution worked. Thank you very much.
I also did not include a stored procedure into the connection that was needed in the layout.
This could have also added to the problem (for future reference).

Library of Crystal Reports (not Layouts) for 8.8

Hello All,
Is there a library of sample CRystal Reports for SBO 8.8.
I don't mean Layouts.
I mean Crystal Reports for typical business reports like Ageing, Stock LIstings, SAles Analysis etc..

Hi Christian
Here is the latest version for you with 64 Bit compatibility 2.0.0.7
[Crystal Add-On with 64 Bit Compatibility|https://sapmats-de.sap-ag.de/download/download.cgi?id=0G5XHIZJQPZGO012YOH7W95H7M7SA4UOHHZZ28HQZGMOO5OH8R]

Possible solution: Open Crystal Reports Print Layout from UDO form

Hi all,
I recently had to print information of a UDO which I have on a new form. I searched through the forum and found different solutions, but none that used the new "integrated" crystal reports viewer. So I came up with this workaround, which so far works great. I post it here for anybody else needing this kind of workaround, or in case somebody has a better solution, pick that up.
Here it is:
1) Create your Crystal Report file and import using the Reports and Layouts screen in SAP Business One. Give it a meaningful name and location in the menu. Have at least one parameter to take the DocNum or DocEntry, or whatever your primary key is. (Note: I know the import can be done by SDK, but as far as I can see there's no way to place it in the menu structure just yet.)
2) In your Add-On in the event ID 520 (print), call the following function with the Document Number grabbed from the open form:
public static bool printUDO(string strDocNum)
            // get menu UID of report
            Recordset oRS = (Recordset)B1Connections.diCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset);
            oRS.DoQuery("SELECT MenuUID FROM OCMN WHERE Name = 'ReportName' AND Type = 'C'");
            if (oRS.RecordCount == 0)
                B1Connections.theAppl.MessageBox("Report layout 'ReportName' not found.", 0, "OK", null, null);
                return false;
            // execute menu and enter document number
            B1Connections.theAppl.ActivateMenuItem(oRS.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString());
            Form form = B1Connections.theAppl.Forms.ActiveForm;
            ((EditText)form.Items.Item("1000003").Specific).String = strDocNum;
            form.Items.Item("1").Click(BoCellClickType.ct_Regular); // abrir reporte
            return true;
I know it's kind of a dirty solution, but it works, and if you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them.
Thanks!
Joerg.

Hi Joerg,
It's not a dirty solution... I like it and i'm using it
Thanks!

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 runtime error while changing Data Source Location

Dear All
We are using "Crystal reports for SAP Business one".The Crystal reports version is 12.1.
We built a report in another database with another server.
As we are importing the report in another database of another server,
I am not able to change the Data Source location.
When I am trying to change it,it gives Runtime error and closed automatically.
How can i resolve and change the data source location?

hi kambadasan,
is your CR version the same from which you design the report and to the another server? also did you import your report directly to SBO without changing the data source first? in the case you should update first your Data Source in Crystal Report IDE before importing it to SBO.
regards,
Fidel

VS2010 Crystal Report Crashes System when using 'Set DataSource Location..'

Runtime ASP.NET 3.5
VS 2010
Under Database Fields (rt click) try Set DataSource Location... causes VS2010 to crash.
This is on an imported report from VS2008. VS2008 has no problem with the report.
Since this is a ASP.NET 3.5 program the internal property field
<ResGenToolArchitecture>Managed32Bit</ResGenToolArchitecture>
has been set in the project in order to allow the code to compile w/out errors.
What is solution for Crystal Report Set DataSource Location?

Hi Ken,
Here's one link on the issue: CRVS2010 RTM: Database Expert / External Component has thrown an exception
The reason is Old OS's used c:\temp as the default, now you are require to use %user%\temp as your temp folder as well as using the AppData folder for your app. If CR finds c:\temp it uses it and depending on what is in there it can cause Cr to crash, XML files have been know to do this.
Following MS's new rules on users temp folder should make your app Windows Compliant.
Thanks again

Crystal report as Layout

Hi Experts,
i have designed a report for a customer using stored procedure.
The customer saves an outgoing payment as a draft a then i have made some Auto-generating number which they use as a parameter to generate a report.
Now the customer says they want to add the outgoing payment without saving as a draft and that they want the report i have made to be like SAP layout in the system without them entering parameters. But on the outgoing payment after adding they can preview it at anytime Just as SAP reports previews are.
Attached is my stored procedure which saves as a draft.
This time we do not want to save as draft and we want to be previewing it without entering parameters just as SAP report previews are.
Urgent help is needed.

Error while scheduling Crystal Report within CMC with Destination as Email

Hi,
I have added a Crystal Report within the CMC. Before scheduling it, I have specified the Destination as Email and entered the necessary details. After scheduling it, the Report Instance gives a Failure with Error Message as -
destination DLL disabled.CrystalEnterprise.Smtp
How to rectify this?
Thanks,
Amogh

Hi,
go to the CMC and invoke the server list under Servers. Locate the entry for the Crystal Reports Job Server, select it and invoke the context menu using the right mouse button. Select Destination and add Email in the list of the possible delivery options. Configure the connection data for your SMTP server and restart the Crystal Report Job Server.

Crystal Report installation roadmap

Hi All,
I googled and found that the the SAP data can be extracted only if SAP BW is configured. We have a different requirement
InfoSet Queries are developed, which extracts data from SAP tables
We need to customize the design of the report, therefore plan to have temporary extracted data in InfoSet query and
install and integrate Crystal Report with Infoset Queries for customizing the layout.
Are our concepts correct about crystal report? If yes, how can we integrate CR with SAP, keeping in consideration that we haven't implemented SAP BW.
In short, installation/configuration of the following scenerio
SAP Tables -> InfoSet Query -> Crystal Report -> Custom Layout with Infoset Query data -> Print
Thanks in advance.

Thank you Ingo for your valuable response. Infact, I'm a big fan of your blogs @Business Objects.
Actually, the objective is to design reports with customized heading without using ABAP. For the purpose, InfoSet queries are created. Now I'm looking for a tool, e.g. Crystal Reports etc., to design queries output in professional way.
What do you suggest, which product should I opt for temporary purpose? We will be acquiring BOBJ in next fiscal year, which I hope will make our life easy for developing/designing new reports. But at current, which product/roadmap should be focus on?
Thanks !

Xcelsius - Crystal Report Data Consumer connection Issues

Sorry for the long post but i hope with the full explaination, i can get a quick answer & solution.
Using Crystal Reports 2008 and Xcelsius 2008 Engage, SQL 2008 stored procedure.
I have tested the Crystal Reports Data Consumer connection within the Xcelsius program, using the following steps :
1. Create a stored procedure that returns the Continent Name and the Count of Projects within each Continent.
2. Create a Crystal Report using the stored procedure, 2 columns in the Details section, column names in the Page Header section.
3. Save and export this as an Excel spreadsheet.
4. Open the Xcelsius program, new file and import spreadsheet. Column A is the Continent Name, Column B is the Count.
5. Without altering the spreadsheet, I created a graph using the data imbedded. i.Bar Graph, series and row selections. Ii. Pie chart with row data selection. Iii.Column data as series and row selections.
6. Created a Crystal Report Data Consumer connection using the data imbedded within then spreadsheet. The column A as the u201CRow Headersu201D & column B as the u201CDatau201D. Took quite a while to get the right combination of selected components so that the preview actually showed the data and the corresponding data labels. The Legend still hasnu2019t shown up.
7. Save and Export as Flash (swf) file.
8. Close Xcelsius and open Crystal Reports.
9. Open the same report used to create the spreadsheet and Insert -> Flash, choosing the newly created swf file.
10. Link the data displayed On the Crystal Report to the Flash file now embedded, using the Flash Expert. Have tried both with the data listed on the Report, and the data listed as the result of the stored procedure.
11. Previewed and the Data shown on the Graph does match the data listed within the Details section of the Report.
12. I then altered the stored procedure to add u201C1u201D to all counts, and refreshed the Crystal Report. (I cannot add new data to the underlying database/tables, due to various other folks & projects using that same database.)
13. The listed data does change to match the changes within the procedure.
14. The Data labels on the Graph do change to match the changes within the procedure.
15. The Actual Displayed Data within the Graph Does Not change to match the changes within the procedure.
I have attempted this with a pie chart, a bar and column charts with the same affect.
I have searched the web, printed out 4 different examples on how to make this work and still it is hit or miss. I still can not get the legend to show up, either in the preview or the within the Crystal Reports. When I preview the graph before adding the Crystal Report Data Consumer connections, it does work.
Please someone tell me, What am I missing here ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Having trouble opening Crystal Report files from a document library

I am trying to open Crystal Report .rpt files from a document library in either the native, client Crystal Reports software or in Crystal Reports Viewer. When I add the Crystal Report files to a document library and attempt to open them SharePoint displays
a prompt asking me to save the file locally instead of opening the file. I have done a lot of research online and found several sites discussing similar scenarios, however, I have not been able to get these solutions to work. Here is a short list of sites
I have referenced for possible solutions:
http://naadydev.blogspot.com/2013/03/crystal-report-viewer-sharepoint-2010.html?showComment=1383339860122
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/52aabf2d-10dc-424c-bd50-124fc972a9b9/crystal-report-viewer-integration-with-sharepoint-2010?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/42731/Crystal-Reports-WebPart-for-SharePoint
Here are the steps I have done to try to get the .rpt files to open:
Added the Crystal Report extension .rpt as a MIME type
Installed the Visual Studio 2012 Crystal Reports Viewer toolbar
Installed the 64-bit Crystal Reports runtime
I have also created a solution file based off the Code Project site which partially works, but not quite right. In this project I have created a document library called "Crystal Reports rpt Files" and deployed the solution file to a site. When
I open the Web Part Maintenance Toolbar I can see the selected .rpt file in the drop-down, but no Crystal Report file is displayed on the page itself.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Does anyone have experience working with Crystal Reports and SharePoint 2013 (or earlier versions) that could lend some advice?
Thank you,
Alex

We are having the exact same issue, has anyone resolved this yet?

Mail barcode support in Crystal Reports 2008 - does it really exist?

We are looking to add mail bar codes to our existing reports. The cover letter of the report includes a mailing label and we would like to add a mail bar code underneath it. I called 888-229-2276 yesterday and explained what I wanted to do. I was instructed to download a trial version from the website and take a look at the help as this feature was added in Crystal Reports 2008. The help didn't explain much more than right click the fieled you want to bar code and select the Bar Code option listed. What this created was a regular bar code that looks like a UPC you would find in the grocery store. I tried both Azalea fonts, but got the same result.
How does one create an Intelligent Mail barcode or PostNet barcode?

Having dealt with both PostNet and Intelligent Mail Barcodes (IMB), using CR XI R1, here are a couple of things that might shed some light:
1. PostNet and IMB are vastly different, so you choose which one you want to generate. PostNet requires some calculation based on the zipcode and/or zip+5 whereas IMB requires specific information such as Mailer ID etc assigned to your company by USPS.
2. You can download a PostNet font, which can be found on the web as shareware etc. IMB font can be downloaded from USPS for free. For more info on IMB check out [https://ribbs.usps.gov/index.cfm?page=intellmailmailpieces]
3. IMB is very specific to your company and as such requires a thorough understanding of the type of mail you will be sending and if it is bulk or BRM etc etc. It would be better to consult with the USPS customer rep for your company to determine if IMB is appropriate for you.
4. PostNet is a breeze compared to IMB. All you need do is determine if the barcode will be based on zip or zip+5 and delivery point codes which determines if the barcode will contain 32, 52 or 62 bars. You then download the font from the web and off you go. Information on how to calculate/generate PostNet barcodes is all over the internet, the key is downloading the font.
I bet it is all clear as mud but feel free to post if you have more questions.

Crystal Report requests Database logon if SAP BW is datasource

Hi all
I experience the following:
1. SSO from SAP Portal to BOE works: I can view Sample Crystal Reports based on the BO-iView-template without additional login
2. SSO from SAP Portal to SAP BW works: a) I can view custom BW Web queries without additional login and b) the connection tests on the system object in SAP Portal run fine
3. I assume SSO between BOE and BW works because I can view Xcelsius dashboards based on BW queries within SAP Portal without additional login
Nevertheless I am presented a login screen ("The report you requested requires further information. -
Database Logon") if I try to view a crystal report based on a BW query, no matter if I start the report from InfoView, SAPGUI or SAP Portal. If I enter my SAP credentials in "Databse logon"-window I can see the report runs fine.
SAP Authentication in BOE seems to work (I can import users & roles). In all 3 systems I have at least Admin or equivalent permissions. If I change the Database Configuration for this report within InfoView ("Use SSO") it does make any change (I also read somewhere a reply from I. Hilgefort that this is not necessary if BW publisher service is installed correctly).
We use SAP BW 701.06, BOE XI31FP3.4 and SAP Portal 701SP6
I publish the report from Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 with the SAP-Menu -> Save Report.
I logon to InfoView-App with my SAP-BW credentials.
Any help appreciated!

Real solution is different, my other post is only a workaround:
1. SNC settings in CMC were not correct (Certificate path, path to sapcrypto.dll)
2. Relevant Serices have to run under local username
3. Username has to be added to PSE
