Adding a Hyperlink to a crystal Report

Hi,
A File: Links to a file on the user's computer.
i don't have CMC access in BO, so i am going to save report in local folder.
How to hyper link parent crystal report to child report using A File method.
Please suggest any solution??
Thanks,
Chandrakant

Hi Chandrakant,
Where do you view the reports from?
If you View the reports in InfoView, you should consider uisng an openDoc URL to hyperlink to another report.
The 'File' option will try to open the file in the application associated with it. If the machine doesn't have CR designer installed, the hyperlink will not work.

Adding subreport in subreport in crystal report

HiI am coverting a report made in Access Application which contains subreports within subreports.The nesting is upto five levels deep.As Crystal reports do not allow adding of subreports within subreports,how do i deal with it.Is there some other way to deal with the problem.Any suggestions and help will be appreciated.Regards Shaurya

if your nested subreports are on-demand then you can replicate them with hyperlinks. here's a good description, but there's a lot out there about openDocument. http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/BCIP_report_linking.pdf

Adding the columns dynamically in crystal report

Hi,
I am developing a application using asp.net and crystal report. In a report the column is created dynamically( ie, the report gets input from a sp which returns N no. of columns). Since i dont know the column name and no. of columns at design time i am not able to create the report. If any of you have any idea on adding the columns dynamically please send me the code or the link.
Thanks

Adding a field to a crystal report in sap b1

All I am trying to do is to add the field for credit limited to the standard item invoice in SAP 8.8,
I have added the BP table OCRD and draged the creditline field to the layout, but when you view all the fields are empty.
I obviously need to link somthing - I have excepted the links that are automatically completed by SAP.
Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Jo

do a test report with just the table BP and see if the data is there.
If you see the data in the test report, than add the table you originally tried to link to. remove all the links that crystal has created and link it manually from the new table to the table BP. and run again. Once you get the link right, go back to your original report and fix the link.
Autolinking in Crystal is not reliable in fields linked and in the direction of the link.

Crystal Report Hyperlink to Sub-report or other report

Hi,
I would like to create a report on which the first part will show project summary page. The second part will have all project detail pages and third part with all project financial informations.
The report should work in such a way whenever user clicks on any project at first summary page this has to jump to corresponding detail page of projects.
I have the following question regarding design of this report.
1. Do I need to create a saparate report as a sub report and then merge with main report in a footer section? Or is it ok to create sub-report within main report through sub-report wizard option?
2. How can I establish hyperlink between the pages i.e. summary to detail pages?
3. back hyperlink to first pages.
I am expecting more information about hyperlink options within Crystal report.
Thanks
-Sunil Prasad

Hi Sunil
- For your first question: . Do I need to create a saparate report as a sub report and then merge with main report in a footer section? Or is it ok to create sub-report within main report through sub-report wizard option?
You can create a separate report and then insert it as a subreport in the main report or create it with sub report wizard.
Once you click on Insert -> Subreport, you can see there are two options, one is to point to an existing report and another is to create it through wizard.
- 2. How can I establish hyperlink between the pages i.e. summary to detail pages?
You can use the hyperlink between report objects. Also you can apply a customized formula for this.
Check the below SAP Notes:

Hyperlinks in Crystal reports - SAP BW BI environment

Hi Gurus,
I am working on SAP BI BO integration environment on Cystal reports 2008 and WebI reports. Source for both of them are BEx queries.
1. I need to create a hyperlink on one crystal report column which opens another Crystal report. The target cystal has 2 prompts which are optional and a date range prompt which is mandatory. I am trying to create hyperlink using Hyperlink tab of Format editor. How to make the target report prompts as optional and how pass date range.
2. I need to create a hyperlink on one crystal report column which opens another WebI report. The rest of details are same as above.
How to acheive this requirement. If you have any thoughts, please share
Thanks
Praveen

Take a look at the openDocument documentation
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP3/en/xi31_sp3_opendocument_en.pdf
If a prompt is optional you have to add it to your URL only if you really want to pass a value. If no value is available then you can ommit it.
I ould recommend to create your on formula field that puts the URL together and not use the hyperlink wizard. This way you can build the link accordingly depending on the availability of parameter values.

Stratos

Image Quality In Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010

I am using the new production release of Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 and I am having an issue with image quality when adding an image to a crystal report.
The image itself is a .TIF file, and when opened in Windows, the quality of the image, which is mostly text, is very high. The image was created from a electronic PDF form and I intend to use this as a background for the crystal report, over which I will place data fields.
As soon as the image is added to the report you can see the degradation in quality in the design window and in the preview window within visual studio. The quality remains low when viewing the report in the WPF report viewer and when printing from this control.
I have ensured the "Retain Original Image Color Depth" option is checked but this has made no difference (the image is black and white anyway).
The image in the report has been left at its native size, no resizing at all. The image is 355KB in size if that's relevant.
Is there a reason the image looses quality when added to a report? Is it being compressed? More importantly, is there a way to make the image retain its native quality when adding it to a crystal report?
Thanks in advance.

The following image is the image I am trying to display. Although imageshack has converted it to a png, if you right click and save the image you can open it and zoom in with little image degradation.
http://img132.imageshack.us/i/j301.png
The following is a screen shot of how the tif file looks in the designer when zooming in:
http://img138.imageshack.us/i/j30lowquantity.jpg
The second image has lost its clarity and is unusable when printing.
I hope this helps.

Create Crystal Report Dynamically using XML based design metadata

Hi,
I have a CR Report Development environment. Please refer to workflow and requirement description below;
I have a Java application(Report Customization Tool), which allows users to dynamically select structure and content for a report.
The process goes as follows:
1. In Java Application, user first gets option to select Report Header, Page Orientation, Font etc for master report.
2. User can select a sub-report (pre-developed report frames. Not Sure about tool.) and apply the same format option (mentioned in step 1, except orientation) to it.
3. User can select individual row/data cell to be displayed on the report through reference to DB tables in sub-reports.
4. There can be N number of sub-reports each with independant formatting, data and data layout that could be integrated in single report.
5 Once all selection is done, Java code generates an XML with all this info.
Now, my requirement is dynamically write CR report based on this XML. I am not using BO enterprise, hence RAS SDK is out of scope. This report will be called thorough stand-alone .NET application in CITRIX environment.
Can we do it in CR XI/CR 2008?
Please feel free to comment in case you need more info. But I won't be able to post screenshots. NDA of course!
Thanks in advance.

I moved your post to the NET - SAP Crystal Reports forum.
To start, you have a fair bit of work ahead of you. The Crystal reports SDK will not do the job. You will have to use the InProc RAS SDK which is included in both CR XI and CR 2008. I'd recommend going with CR 2008 as CR XI R1 (11.0) is out of support now and CR XI R2 (11.5) will be out of support come June of 2011. Next, make sure you have applied SP 3 for CR 2008:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
As an FYI, all files can be found on the downloads page:

Opening HyperLinked Files contained in a database field Automatically alongwith Crystal Report

Hi
I am using Crystal Report 2008. We have a database table which has Bill of Material for all the parts, the table also has additional field which contains LINK to PDF File (i.e. c:\PDFFiles\XPart.PDF) which is containing Part specifications. Now i am able to create a Hyperlink from this field and user is able to click on the field to open the file.
Is there a way, that all the associated linked files open automatically whenever a user previews this report.Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Shekhar

You can achieve the desired behavior by adding a UFL (User unction library) that includes a function for triggering and passing parameters ot a different process.
At least one of the 3rd-party UFLs listed at Crystal Reports viewer comparison, Crystal Reports scheduler comparison and other utilities ( viewer and scheduler compa… provides such a function.
You would then be able to add Crystal formulas that result in opening linked documents as a byproduct of previewing the report.

Hyperlinks within Crystal Reports

Hello,
I am using Crystal Reports to create a statement. We would like to include hyperlinks in our report. We have already created hyperlinks within the report. The hyperlinks are only operational when I click within the subreport. I want to process my report to a PDF and have the hyperlinks work. Any Suggestions? I am currently working in Crystal 8.5 (we have 10 but our database is not matching up).

As an alternative, at least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Manager tools listed at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html can use visible or hidden (white font) formulas anywhere within a Crystal report (including inside subreports) to create file, web, or email links at that same location within the pdf export of the report. Optionally, an image (such as a .png button image can be added to provide a GUI for the link.

Hyperlink on Crystal Report: how to popup a window without menubar?

Hyperlink on Crystal Report: how to popup a window without menubar?
Hello Experts!
I'm using VS2003 with Crystal Reports for VS2003.
I need to show a popup window clicking a hyperlink text object on my crystal report.
On the CrystalReportViewer I have set up HyperlinkTarget=_blank, and it's working fine.
But when I click on the hyperlink and shows the popup window, how can I show the popup window without menubar, toolbar, directories, etc.
Something like:
window.open('../MyPage.html?id=id001" + Cad + "',null,'menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,resizable=yes,status=yes')

Adam is correct. The closest you can get is setting the CrystalReportViewers HyperlinkTarget to _blank. It was seen as a potential security vulnerability to allow you to run scripts from a Crystal Reports. In our Enterprise product you can use a reg key called EncodeHTMLForSingleLineFieldObjects to control whether this can be turned on or off.
Unfortunately this was never ported over to our .NET CrystalReportViewer.
This is referenced in notes 1202803, 1219298, and 1219301.

Problem showing the crystal report viewer in form after added the component on it

Greetings
I have a problem running a program. I created a form which I added the component Crystal Report Viewer perfecty but during program execution when I call that form my VS 2012 Ultimate show the following error:
Translated:
Failed to create the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. Error: An exception occurred in the type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.Shared.SharedUtils'.
Note: If I remove the component from the form. the applications runs fine when calling the form without the component CrystalReportViewer
It is something related to my VS? o just that the actual version 13.0.9 is not yet compatible?

Report.Show?
How about you try:
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = <path to your report>
Or:
Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
crReportDocument.Load(<path to your report>)
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument
Or, if the report is added to the project:
crReportDocument = New test
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument

Error:When adding RDC runtime library (Crystal report XI R2) to Lotus notes

Background : We have reporting feature implemented in one of lotus notes application using crystal reports 6 (OCX) and as Crystal report is going to be upgraded to CR XI version in my organisation, we need to implement the same using RDC component available in crystal XI . we have installed Crytal report XI R2 - SP 6 version for testing the integration.
we are referring a document available on SAP web site(attached below) that illustrates the steps required to integrate the Crystal Reports® Report Designer Component into a Lotus® Dominou2122 application. http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/509b02de-a81e-2b10-f598-822b6d6f2024?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
Steps which have been outlined for adding runtime library in lotus domino application is shown below:-
1. In Domino Designer, add a Form to the application.
2. In the programmeru2019s pane, go to the (Declarations) handler of the Form and enter:
Dim App As Variant, Dim Rep As Variant
3. Select Create | Object and select the u201CControlu201D radio button in the u201CCreate Objectu201D dialog box that comes up. From the list of controls, select u201CCrystal Report Viewer Control.u201D This adds the control to the Form.
4. Click on the control and select Edit | Properties. In the u201CAppletu201D properties dialog, select the u201CSize object to fit windowu201D radio button and then close the properties dialog.
We are getting an error message while trying to add 'Crystal Report Viewer Control' control (illustated in Step 3 above) in the lotus notes form . Error message which we get is 'An error has occured while processing a request on an object'.
Alternatively , we created the object of Crystal Report Viewer on lotus notes form by adding viewer object file (Crviewer.dll) from the file system after selecting the u201CObject from a fileu201D radio button in the u201CCreate Objectu201D dialog box and added following code in the postopen event of lotus notes form .
Set m_Viewer = Source.GetObject("Crystal Report Viewer Control")
Set App = CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
Set Rep = App.OpenReport(u201Cc:lotus
otes
ep.rptu201D)
Set m_Viewer.ReportSource = Rep
Again, when lotus notes form is opened , it gives error 'Variant does not contain object' at 'Set m_Viewer.ReportSource = Rep' .
Can any one suggest us any workaround or if iit is not possible in CR XI R2 into a Lotus® Dominou2122 application. Also, can any one provide us sample code if CR 2008 version can be integatred with lotus notes.

I believe, Lotus was never a "supported" development platform, though it did work - at one time or another. Eventually it did not and you are at that point. I think it was CR 10 where it started to be impossible to add the viewer to Lotus. This was never fixed and we never did find out if this was a Lotus thing or a CR thing.
Re. CR 2008 and Lotus. The RDC has been retired in CR 2008, so no luck there either for you. The only SDKs available in CR 2008 are for .NET and Java.
