Adding Static page to report?

I would like to print a static(word doc) at the end of my reports. 
How can I do this when the report footer is above the page footer at some of the reports and some reports make use of a Page header, which I don't want to display on the static page.
Can one have 2 reports printing simultaneous or after another from one print spec?

You could try this:
1.  Insert a new page footer section (PFb).
2.  Insert the word document.
3.  Right click on the section PFb, click on section expert and then click on x+2 next to SUPPRESS.
4.  In the formula workshop window type: PageNumber <> TotalPageCount
5.  Save and close.  This should display the word document only on the last page.
If you are using CR 2008, in the section expert for PF, you might also want to check the box next to "Clamp Page Footer".
If you run into extra empty space issue, then another thing to try would be to create a blank report, suppress all sections but report footer, then insert RFb, insert the main report in RFa and the word document in RFb.

  • Very intermittent missing page regions / report rows / page item values

    My goals in making this posting are twofold:
    1. I'm looking to see if anyone else has experienced this type of issue before.
    2. I'm looking for ideas about what can be done to debug such an infrequent bug with serious implications.
    Synopsis
    I'm having a weird problem where very infrequently I will load a page and I'll notice that one or more page regions, report rows, or page item values are missing. If I reload the page the missing parts appear as they normally should.
    By "very infrequently" I would say it happens to me somewhere between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1000 page loads, of course at my last project demonstration in happened twice in 10 minutes to my demo participants. I've attempted to debug this, but most of the techniques I know of involve reloading the page or reposting the form data and (of course) everything looks fine then.
    Environment
    * This has happened on multiple different pages, under ApEx 3.1 (Linux) and 3.2 (Solaris).
    * I believe that so far I've only ever seen this under Firefox 3/3.5 under OSX, but since I do the vast majority of my development with this browser it's not reasonable to conclude that it only happens under Firefox.
    Logs
    * No application errors during this timeframe.
    * Nothing of significance in the database alerts log (just thread notes and log sequences).
    * Nothing of significance in the webserver log (just the usual mod_ossl connection errors).
    Thanks for your attention,

    Well, thanks for reading the post anyway.
    While working through some debugging steps I realized that I was populating some of the regions as the page rendered using AJAX -- this would pause the page rendering until the AJAX request returned. I believe that a hanging AJAX call was the likely culprit of the very intermittent symptoms I was seeing.
    I moved the AJAX calls to the last region of the page and added a javascript function that "watches the page load" by checking for regions by ID and looking at javascript boolean flags to let me know when the page is fully rendered. If this process takes longer than 5 seconds it notifies the user that something happened and offers to reload the page for them in an effort to fix the issue.
    So far, so good -- but it will take a lot of testing to convince me that this case is solved. I hope my documenting this is helpful for others in similar situations.
    Good luck,
    Jason

  • Programmatically adding chart to a report throws exception

    programmatically adding chart to a report throws exception "chart condition fields are not valid".
    Configuration:
    I am using CR4E to create web application, I've added RAS jars (rasapp.jar, rascore.jar, reporttemplate.jar, serialization.jar) to this web application. For designing reports i am using Crystal Reports 2008.
    Code:
    <%
    // Get the previously opened report from the session.
    ReportClientDocument reportClientDocument =
         (ReportClientDocument)session.getAttribute("ReportClientDocument");
    System.out.println(reportClientDocument.getReportDocument().getName());
    // Try to get the report's DataDefinition object.
    IDataDefinition dataDefinition;
    try
         dataDefinition = reportClientDocument.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition();
    // If the DataDefinition object can not be retrieved, redirect the user to an error page.
    catch (Exception e)
         System.out.println("With error1");
        return;
    // Create a new ChartDefinition object and set its type to ChartType.group.
    ChartDefinition chartDefinition = new ChartDefinition();
    chartDefinition.setChartType(ChartType.group);
    Get the conditional field of the report's first group. Set this conditional
    field for the ChartDefinition object using the setConditonalFields method. Notice
    that the conditional field is first placed in a Fields collection because the
    setConditionalFields method takes a Fields object as an argument.
    Fields conditionFields = new Fields();
    if (!dataDefinition.getGroups().isEmpty())
         IField field = dataDefinition.getGroups().getGroup(0).getConditionField();
         System.out.println("Condition field name ->" + field.getLongName(Locale.ENGLISH));
         conditionFields.addElement(field);
    chartDefinition.setConditionFields(conditionFields);
    //Get the summary field name from the form on the previous page.
    String summaryFieldName = URLDecoder.decode(request.getParameter("summaryField"));
    System.out.println("Summary field name ->" + summaryFieldName);
    Loop through all of the report's summary fields until the one matching the name
    above is found. Set this summary field for the ChartDefinition object using the
    setDataFields method. Notice that the summary field is first placed in a Fields
    collection because the setDataFields method takes a Fields object as an argument.
    Fields dataFields = new Fields();
    for (int i = 0; i < dataDefinition.getSummaryFields().size(); i++)
        IField summaryField = dataDefinition.getSummaryFields().getField(i);
         if (summaryField.getLongName(Locale.ENGLISH).equals(summaryFieldName))
              System.out.println("Adding data field ->" + summaryFieldName);
              dataFields.addElement(summaryField);
    chartDefinition.setDataFields(dataFields);
    Create a new ChartObject to represent the chart that will be added.  Set the
    ChartDefinition property of the ChartObject using the ChartDefinition object created
    above.
    ChartObject chartObject = new ChartObject();
    chartObject.setChartDefinition(chartDefinition);
    Get the chart type, chart placement, and chart title strings from the form on the
    previous page. If no chart title was chosen, create a generic title.
    String chartTypeString = request.getParameter("type");
    String chartPlacementString = request.getParameter("placement");
    String chartTitle = request.getParameter("title");
    System.out.println("chartTypeString ->"+ chartTypeString + "<-chartPlacementString->" + chartPlacementString + "<-chartTitle->"+chartTitle);
    if (chartTitle.equals(""))
         chartTitle = "untitled";
    Create a ChartStyleType object and a AreaSectionKind object based on the
    the chartTypeString and chartPlacementString retrieved above. In this example
    possible chart types are bar chart and pie chart. Possible chart placements
    are header and footer.
    ChartStyleType chartStyleType = ChartStyleType.from_string(chartTypeString);
    AreaSectionKind chartPlacement = AreaSectionKind.from_string(chartPlacementString);
    // Set the chart type, chart placement, and chart title for the chart.
    chartObject.getChartStyle().setType(chartStyleType);
    chartObject.setChartReportArea(chartPlacement);
    chartObject.getChartStyle().getTextOptions().setTitle(chartTitle);
    // Set the width, height, and top for the chart.
    chartObject.setHeight(5000);
    chartObject.setWidth(5000);
    chartObject.setTop(1000);
    Get a ReportDefController object that can be used to modify the report's definition.
    ReportDefController reportDefController;
    try
         reportDefController = reportClientDocument.getReportDefController();
    catch (Exception e)
         System.out.println("With Error2");
         return;
    *Create a Section object that represents the section that will hold the chart.
    If the chart placement was set header, get the header section, otherwise, if the
    chart placement was set to footer, get the footer section.
    Section chartSection = null;
    if (chartPlacement.equals(AreaSectionKind.reportHeader))
         IArea reportHeaderArea =
              reportDefController.getReportDefinition().getReportHeaderArea();
         chartSection = (Section)reportHeaderArea.getSections().getSection(0);
    else if (chartPlacement.equals(AreaSectionKind.reportFooter))
         IArea reportFooterArea =
              reportDefController.getReportDefinition().getReportFooterArea();
         chartSection = (Section)reportFooterArea.getSections().getSection(0);
    Add the chart to the section using the ReportDefController object.
    reportDefController.getReportObjectController().add(chartObject, chartSection, 1);
    // Save the changes and close the report.
    reportClientDocument.save();
    reportClientDocument.close();

  • Adding PHP pages, not showing dynamic content?

    Hi all,
    I'm new and hoping I don't get ripped apart for a question that seems simple. I've looked a lot though and can't seem to find an exact scenario like this. I recently took over a PHP site for a friend that was built in Dreamweaver CS3.
    There's a master page (main.php) that includes a header and footer and middle area of dynamic content. Thus, all of the pages appear like: http://www.SITENAME.com/main.php?mod=about (for the 'about' page) or www.SITENAME.com/main.php?mod=welcome (for the landing/home page), etc.
    In main.php, there's a section of: // Include Multiple Static Pages that looks like this:
    $mxiObj->IncludeStatic("about", "about.php");
    for every static page.
    All of this makes sense to me. Here's my problem:
    When adding a new page now, I can't get it to show any of the dynamic content on the live site. I just get the static header and footer to show.
    In the main.php file, there's this section:
    </div>
      <div id="mainContent">
        <p> 
          <?php
      $incFileName = $mxiObj->getCurrentInclude();
      if ($incFileName !== null)  {
        mxi_includes_start($incFileName);
        require(basename($incFileName)); // require the page content
        mxi_includes_end();
    ?></p>
    </div>
    that's supposed to pull in the dynamic content. It's doing this just fine on the older pages, but not on the ones I'm trying to build now.
    I guess I'm asking if there's some type of file in an 'includes' folder that I'm missing where I need to make sure the FileName is also listed (not just in the static section on main.php)? What's the mising link that will get this dynamic content to show up?
    Thanks for any help in advance and for reading this!

    The quickest way to add new pages is to
    copy the template (index.php) to a new document (newdoc.php or similar)
    remove the PHP stuff - stuff that is not required for the new content
    if there are inludes for the menu, header, footer or similar, then you can link those back into the document using standard includes
    add the new content to the newly created document
    This will give you a stand-alone document. At a later stage you can convert these documents into a DW-template system.

  • If then statement if user is on a dial-up connection to re-direct them to a static page?

    I'm designing a site with flash on the index page, and many of the users might be on a slow connection. Although the flash file is relatively small, I want them to be able to load the page as fast as possible. Any suggestions on how to re-direct them to a static page without an obvious "click here to skip intro" link?
    Thanks!

    You might want to look into adding some javascript to your HTML document-
    I know that javascript has Flash and non-Flash detection and redirection scripts - (not sure about connection speed detection and redirection).
    If not maybe a server-side script is available- PHP, Asp, etc..

    Yes I grabbed some books, but if you can help me. I really
    appreciate is.
    I have this file structure

    http://myserver/Myreport/
    Here you find a MyReport folder
    And find 2 .cfm

    I have 2 BIG questions, ok 3

    A main page. In other words.

    WHY IS THE REPDOCS NOT TYPED IN THE BROWSER WHEN VIEWING THE

    Is typed
    http://myserver/Myreport/
    without repdocs.
    Please excuse me.
    I am a real beginner.
    Thanks .
    Hope someone replies soon.
    Take care.

    OK, I think I understand your questions, so here goes:
    quote:
    HOW DO YOU MAKE A PAGE THAT WILL CONTAIN
    The link of this MyReport.
    Simply have a link on a page, ex:
    <a href ="LINK URL">LINK TEXT</a>,
    As for your question on your reports, I do not understand
    what you are asking
    quote:
    HOW DO I CHANGE THE FOLDER
    FROM
    Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport
    Pointing to it
    http://myserver/Myreport/
    TO
    Z:\NewExport\repmining\myreport
    Then point to it
    http://myserver/ repmining\myreport
    If you are directly connected to the server, just create a
    folder in (from what it looks like) Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\ that is
    the new folwer name, ex:
    Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\NEW_folder and put files into it. If you
    are now directly connected to the server, use a program like FTP
    server to connect via FTP and do the same.

    in other words:
    Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport
    Is typed
    http://myserver/Myreport/
    this is simply because
    http://myserver/Myreport/ is
    set to point at the folder Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport therefore
    it looks like
    http://myserver is set to the folder
    Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\ anything you add into a folder after that will
    be included.

  • Weblogic 6.1 , does not pick up modified static page

  • When I try to open a recent document I get the following message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document."  I have downloaded version Pages version 5.2.2 and the app store confirms this, but my Pages About reports that I am using 4.3

    When I try to open a recent document I get the following message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document."  I have downloaded version Pages version 5.2.2 and the app store confirms this (and won't let me download it again), but my Pages About reports that I am using 4.3

    Here is the solution that I received from the chat line.
    When you update applications like Pages it usually keeps both versions on the computer. So what most likely happened is it didn’t put the new version on your dock. So to fix this, open a finder window. And go into applications which should be listed on the left. Scroll down and you will see Pages listed in here. And the icon should look different. You can drag that icon down onto your dock.Open that and you then can access your documents

    We have been able to successfully deploy a report through Crystal viewer XI /Java /Sun Solaris, report works fine, able to suppress group tree, but unable to veiw 2nd page of report.    The suppression of the group tree in the web page required a simple command , is there one that allows us to proceed to the next page?  I am not JAVA savvy so I will be communicating this to the person who will be making the correction, please pardon me if I left something out.

    It's not clear whether your issue is with the Page Navigation controls not working, or whether you wish to programmatically skip the first page and go to the next page.  If the latter, then the CrystalReportViewer class has a showNthPage method.

    We want to put our company logo on the top of each page in a multi-page printed report (which is already in production and is very complicated).  I don't think you can do this with a standard list abap.  I'm guessing I need to change the abap to a dialogue program and output to a screen?  Can anyone describe the process necessary?  For example will I need to have two containers on the screen, one for the report where I do a leave to list processing, and the other for the logo?  But how would this print - could I do it so the logo appears at the top of each page?
    Certainly SAP provides some (non-alv, non-sapscript) solution to putting a logo at the top of each page?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi,
    I am guessing , that if you are saying non-sapscript, even SMARTFORMS is out of question. Well you don't give many choices, (non-alv, non-sapscript), now do you ?
    As far as I know, I don't think, it is possible to put images using dialog programming or list processing.
    Check out Report Painter if it supports images.

  • Is it possible to refresh the home page or report page automatically?

    Hi.
    I'm develping EM plugin with EM 11 extensibility.
    Is it possible to auto refresh the home page or report page?
    It contains the view data(real time 30 sec page..) select list combo at the matric detail page.
    and it is displayed on the right of the top at the database main page
    Thanks,
    wonjo.

    Also, there are enhancements in progress to the extensibility framework which will, in future versions of EM, allow this type of control over chart/table refresh for plugins.

  • Getting Runtime error while adding Second page in Smartform.

    I added 2 pages in smartform. When I worked with single page. smartform working properly. Now I added one more page(i.e Second page) I am getting runtime error.  ("The current ABAP/4 program encountered an unexpected
    situation".   A RAISE statement in the program "SAPLSTXBC" raised the exception
    condition "ERROR".)   When I debug this standard program Something width problem getting on line number 110. Both width not matched so program raising exception. Can you please tell me to solve this problem what changes will I do in my smartform?

    Please let me know the details of each page.
    Error can occur in these cases.
    1) You copied the first page to second. and later you change the width of second page
    2) You created the second page and there is template in second page. each column width is not matching with the total width of the template.
    3) windows width is greater than the page width
    Please have a look.
    Regards,

  • How to keep the SAME position of layout on left & right pages when adding a page?

    A little background first before I ask the question:
    I've been converting a PowerPoint document to the InDesign format, and adding pages as I go through by duplicating a page in order to keep the top description text in the same position at the top left hand side. The document is over 110 pages- more pages will be added soon, and some pages deleted. Basically the presentation will be printed as a book, and the client we are designing this presentation for sent us the master pages for the layout.
    The issue I'm now having: I had to delete an odd number of pages which caused a shift of the layout of pages throughout the document after the pages I deleted. I figured that the right hand page was not aligned the same as the right hand page, so I measured in the same distance from the left edge on both pages and made the adjustments. But then when I added a page, the alignment shifted again.
    Is this an issue with the master pages? Or is this another issue? Any idea how to fix this so that the pages are aligned the same whether I add or delete a page? I've included two screen grabs to better illustrate what is happening:
    I would be very grateful for any help you may be able to offer on this, thank you in advance.
    Vera

    Those are your margin guides, and your client evidently expects the margins to be larger on the outside of the page than at the spine. Putting the text frame that says Main Building... on the master page will not only save you having to enter it each time, but will let you put it where it should be and have it stay there when pages switch sides. Your images are going to seem to shift, too, unless they are centered on the page on the horizontal axis.
    I'm sensing you really have little or no experience using ID, and some basic training would probably help you quite a bit. I'll recommend Sandee Cohen's Visual Quickstart Guide to InDesign -- best book out there for beginners.

  • How to open image added to Pages doc in Preview app?

    Hello,
    Anyone know hot to open images added to Pages in preview app on Mac? When I click on any image with right mouse button I have in menu these options - "Open in Pixelmator and Capture selection from screen".
    I tried to make my own Automator service "Open img in Preview" and it work well in Finder and other apps (I selected it in Automator option to work in all apps) but this service is not show in Pages > Services.
    Anyone know how to fix it or how to make this service visible in Pages? I tried to found "Open in Pixelmator" workflow on my Mac to rewriting or save my "Open img in Preview" workflof into same folder but no chance. In (Library > Services etc)
    Thank you for you kind, sorry for my English

    I don't know how Pixelmator created their Service, but I suspect it involves programming that is beyond my abilities.
    The following AppleScript will copy the selection in Pages and open a new preview window from the clipboard. It could be run as a Service with Automator. (It will also leave the image on the clipboard; if that is a problem, it could probably be modified, but I didn't get that sophisticated with it.)
    tell application "System Events"
              tell process "Pages"
                        set frontmost to true
      click menu item "Copy" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Edit" of menu bar 1
              end tell
              tell process "Preview"
                        set frontmost to true
                        click menu item "New from Clipboard" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
              end tell
    end tell
