Alternate solutions for subreport within a subreport

Hi,
There is a master report say R1. R1 needs a subreport R2 which has a graph as a subreport(R3). As the idea of subreport having another subreport is not supported in the Crystal reports, we need an alternate solution for the problem. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Shayari

can you be a bit clearer, are you stating that you have a main report which has a sub report currently and you need another subreport to display the graph from subreport that already is embeded in the main?
you can place a sub in a sub, but you can create more that one sub.
if you only want the data from the sub to use within a graph in the main rpt than i would pass shared variables from the main to the sub and use them in a graph(if you can)

Is there any alternate solution for MDM setup without following Device Enrollment Program (DEP) ?

Hi,
Is there any alternate solution for setting up the MDM Process, without following the Device Enrollment Program (DEP) and managing the devices by creating our own setup controlling through the server, Please let me know.
Thanks for the help.

Finally I found the solution for the MDM, after doing some research work with the Apple Configurator, iPhone configuration utility and came across with the Profile Manager after installing Mac OS Server and able to manage, configure, remote access and send the commands using push notifications.

Work around/Alternate solution for Oracle error ORA-01460 and ORA-02063

After the installation of Oracle.DataAccess version 2.111.7.20, I get the following error.(the code worked fine with Oracle.DataAccess version 9.2.0.700 )
I have attached the error as well as the sample code.
ORA-01460 and ORA-02063 are known bugs in the new ODP but would like to know if there is any Work around/Alternate solution for this problem(other than
the use of stored procs)..

The error occurs whenever the length of any of the parameter is increased. But there is no specific length where it is breaking down.
For example in this case, it breaks down with the given error if
agencyID > 8
agencyName > 6

uniqueid > 6

The problem was mapping input parameter type.
VARCHAR2-type mapping input parameter works with String-type PF parameter. But CHAR-type won't.

Subreport within a subreport

Post Author: Tony
CA Forum: .NET
I understand that in the .NET version of Crystal Reports you can't do a subreport within a subreport (one level deep only). Is this just a limitation of the version that comes with Visual Studio 2005 or is this also a limitation in the XI Developer version as well?
Thanks.

As always, Dell is absolutely correct - no change. I believe there are some work-arounds described on these forums, though I don't know how good they are...
Knowing a bit on how the report engine works, I honestly doubt this will ever be implemented. The complexities, resources and so on would just be much too great. Some of the complexities to consider:
Optimal number of "print jobs" is set to 75.
Any action (paging, drilling, zoom, etc.) in the viewer is a "print job".
A subreport is a "print job". Thus a report in a detail section that returns 75 records, exceeds the optimal print job limit.
I was actually around when subreports were introduced in version 5. Many a friendship was destroyed at the time, trying to figure out how best to do this. Makes me wonder if the world would survive subreport within subreport

Can I have a subreport within a subreport?

hi -- I've found lots of information -- that's several years old -- indicating that Crystal does not support subreports within subreports. Is this still the case? (I'm running CR11.) From my experiments it looks like this is still true... but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
If not possible, does anyone have any slick solutions? I have some ideas, but they'll require a fair amount of redesign.
Thanks,
Carol

hi Carl -- Well, when each of these reports were built, we were pulling data from 3 different Oracle tables:
One table holds the title of the report; it returns a single row based on a report_id defined in the report. This subreport is in
the report header.
One view holds the main data to be displayed (monthly measurements taken at reservoirs); this data comprises the main report -- it's not a subreport.
One view holds annotations for the data -- there could be multiple rows of annotations for a single report id. This subreport is in the report footer.
We actually no longer need to query a DB table for annotations; they're all manually entered into a text area in the subreport. And I can see how I can just include the report title table in the tables accessed by the main report -- it should be easy to get the join correct to display the title and the reservoir data details.
The subreport within subreport issues comes up because we now need to combine all of about 60 reports (like those I describe above) into a single report -- for the purpose of simplifying the generation of a large, published report. Unfortunately we didn't know about this requirement from the start...
So, I think I have a solution -- it just requires the redesign of about 60 reports. Yuck! I'm also not sure what sort of formatting (spacing/pagination) issues I might run into using text areas vs. subreports. I have a feeling it might be trickier to get it looking good, but hopefully I'm wrong.
If you have other / better ideas, please let me know. And I would like to get your take on how I could handle combining all 60 of these reports if I did still have to query an annotation table that might return multiple rows for the report -- I might have a similar situation in the future.
Thanks so much,
Carol

Alternate solution for Field Exit

Hi All,
Is there any other way to get the functionality of Field Exit?
According to my requirement, I have to populate some values in a table control based on the value entered in a field.
Please tell me a solution for this.
Thanks,
Nandhu.

Hi,
As per your requirement you want to populate some values based on the value of some other field.
You can try for EXITS or if the field from which you want to use the value and the other fields which you want to populate are input fields then you can as well use field exits.
Variables declared globally for storing values in the top include of the function group for field exits can be accessed in other field exits. So you can make use of this functionality.
Thanks.

Infotype updation- alternate solution for FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION.

Hi Expert ,
Right now i am using FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to insert data to infotype 19.
Problem i am facing is data to be inserted is very large and this takes lot of time.
Is there any other FM which updates infotype in mass i mean using internal table? Since in this FM cant pass internal table so i have to call this FM for every PERNR.
Thanks & Regards ,
JIgar Thakkar.

Hi Jigar
As suggested by Rahul, Use the FM: HR_PSBUFFER_INITIALIZE. This will improve the performance of your code to a great extend. I would personally, use HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA or HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to update the infotype 0019. However, both are buffering the data and doing some EXPORT to memory. The result of this is that after a few hundred calls to HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION or HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA, the buffer gets big enough to impact the performance of the function module. After thousand of updates with HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION or HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA, each call will take many seconds and your ABAP program will be unusable. Because you run it for high volumes only in the SAP production system, thatu2019s when youu2019ll really see the impact.
The solution is simple. Call this function module to clear the buffer.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_PSBUFFER_INITIALIZE'.
Hope this helps.

Alternate solution for NAC functionality

Hi Expets ,
In our client setup , they were using the cico NGS 3315 for creating guest accounts . The below are the steps of this process ,
-> Any employee can access corporate web server and can request for guest internet account
->The scripts in the background automatically contacts the guest NAC server with admin username and pwd .
http://NAC DNS name/sponsor/api/GuestAccount.php
->Then NAC will reply the credentials to the corporate web server then it will be forwarded to employees's mail account
But the problem is , the NAC server is down . Hence we want to use the anchor WLC itself to create/authenticate guest accounts . So kindly confirm this also can be done using script automatically..
Thanks ,
Regards,
Vijay

We have replaced the NAC box and configured. But we are getting the below errors when the application is trying to create guest account.Kindly suggest

Alternate method for LSMW

Hi friends, kindly let me know alternate solution for my problem.
Q. For transacton code MB11 iam posting the data through LSMW using standard program RM07MMBL(Batch input program). This program is having structure called BMSEG it will accept only one record per transaction.
In my flat file iam having total 20000 records, due to this iam getting performance issue.
Could you please tell me alternate method for the same?
Regards,
Sreenivasa Babu,

Hi srinivas..
In this Case it will be better to Call BAPI than using LSMW.
We have the BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE which is used to Create Goods movement.
It will be faster since the Data will not be processed in Screens when we Call BAPI.
Sample code to Call this BAPI:
data : gm_header type bapi2017_gm_head_01,
        gm_code type bapi2017_gm_code value '01',
        gm_headret like bapi2017_gm_head_ret,
        matdocument type    bapi2017_gm_head_ret-mat_doc,
        t_gmitem type table of bapi2017_gm_item_create,
        wa_gmitem type   bapi2017_gm_item_create,
        t_gmsernumber type table of bapi2017_gm_serialnumber,
        wa_gmsernumber type bapi2017_gm_serialnumber,
        ret type table of bapiret2.
gm_header-pstng_date = '20051201'.
gm_header-doc_date = sy-datum.
gm_code = '01'.
wa_gmitem-material = 'SAMPLE'.
wa_gmitem-plant = '0001'.
wa_gmitem-stge_loc = '0001'.
wa_gmitem-move_type = '501'.
wa_gmitem-entry_qnt = 10.
append wa_gmitem to t_gmitem.
wa_gmsernumber-matdoc_itm = 10.
wa_gmsernumber-serialno = 1.
append wa_gmsernumber to t_gmsernumber.
call function 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE'
exporting
    goodsmvt_header             = gm_header
    goodsmvt_code               = gm_code
TESTRUN                     = ' '

Running subreport from within a subreport

Hello,
I have Crystal report 14.
I'm trying to run a subreport from within another subreport. When the 1st subreport loads, the subreport that was within this one is not visible. Is there a way to run a subreport from within a subreport?
Thanks

Not possible... CR has never had the ability to insert a subreport into a subreport.
Reason why:
Main report returns 1000 rows, Subreport in Detail Section runs 1000 times, subreport in subreport runs another 1000 time for each time the first subreport runs.... " Message Pops up - Come back in a year and the report may be finished -lol" Assuming the Database could handle 100,000 database connections...
What are you trying to accomplish?

Multiple subreports within a single main report?

I'm a newbie to BI Publisher, but have used Crystal Reports quite a lot.
I have a requirement which essentially consists of a set of 7 similar and closely related reports, each using a different SQL Select statement and printing different columns; the user will have the option of selecting either one of the 7, or all of them.
In Crystal Reports I would set up 7 subreports within a single main report, and depending on the parameter, suppress those subreports which are not required.
Is there a technique within BI Publisher which would enable me to achieve the same thing?

all the sub templates will go against a single XML. So if your sub reports in CR is handling different query, you need to take a step back and think of separating data and layout. So multiple queries will be handled by data templates. So, for example, if your main report fetches some records as Q1 query, and you have two sub templates with queries as SQ1, SQ2 (linked subreport). Then we have to see what relationship exists between the main report and the subreport. Say, the sub report query creates a relationship with the Main report data, to filter certain records. So this can be achieved in data template using Q1 and SQ1 using bind relationship, ie, Q1 is master query and SQ1 is a detail query. Similarly Q1 and SQ2 relationship can be established. The datatemplate when executed, will fetch a single XML data.So in this case you do not need sub template. The sub-report layout is not separate, and is to be created with the main report.
In case of unlinked subreport, the content of subreport is independent of main report, so you can simply define two datasets in BI Publisher and then select the Concatenation option. So the final XML data will be a concatenation of two XML data. The main report can read data of the main XML and the sub template can read data from the appended XML data. This can be done using xPath.

Best solution for customers to edit InDesign files within a browser????

I have done a lot of research of some of the companies out there now that do this (one2edit, wealledit, chilli publishing, etc.) and none are really what we are looking for. To begin, we are a publishing company that produces custom academic planning calendars....which includes formatting rules/regulations for schools that will be included with a calendar. Basically, we currently export an RTF each year and the school will edit that RTF file. We then use some custom scripts to import back into InDesign. Now, if they do this correct (use our styles in the file, etc)...typically, this works pretty well. However, out of 2000+ schools, probably only 60-70% do this right....which leads many more hours of formatting, etc. We also post a PDF proof online before we send the files to print and the school has an opportunity at that time to make changes, edits, etc. to the rules and regulations section. Currently, they simply tell us what they want changed, added, etc and we do that for them.
Our goal here:
We would like the schools to be able to make their changes in the begining of each year as well as at proof time live in the InDesign document via a browser. One company that is similar to this is WeAllEdit. There are some issues with how they update the info live (to see page flow), etc. and that is a huge feature we need. We would like the admin at the school to make whatever edits they have each year or at proof time in a browser that looks EXACTLY like the InDesign document we have created for them. This will include current page flow, paragraph styles, custom tabs (mainly text). If they are to make a change in the browser that affects page flow - i.e. pushes something to a new page or pulls something from the next page, we want to be visible to the customer so they can see exactly how the flow of the document is and how it will print.
Solutions:??
- Again, WeAllEdit seems to be the closest to what we are looking for (for a reference point), but, still has issues with what we are looking for.
- Do we investigate purchasing a InDesign server license and develop/design our own interface for this?
- Is .XML an option? You can currently export an XML file with tagged text. Is this something that can be translated into an online feature with a good designer?
- other suggestions??
Sorry for the lengthy post, just wanted to be very specific as to what we do and what we are looking for. ANY help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

I am faced with the same problem today. Did you ever work out a solution for this?

Best Practices for Forms within Site Studio Templates

Last summer our university redesigned our entire website using site studio. We only use the content server for the SiteStudio add on. During the redesign, we found that it wasn't clear how we were supposed to migrate our current web forms (applications, payment forms, etc) to sitestudio. Our current workaround is to place the form within the content server, and have it submit data to a cgi (perl,php) placed on a separate web server. We wrap the backend of the form within an html template that looks like our sitestudio templates so that it appears to the end user that they are still on our website.
Obviously, this is not ideal. I have been reading documentation on how to use the content server to host JSP files. The jsp files run flawlessly if they are accessed via the weblayout folder directly. I have not yet found a solution that will allow me to wrap my jsp forms within our existing sitestudio templates.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, or come up with an alternate solution to this problem?

Thanks, I appreciate your taking time to find the precise answer. Just today this bit me again.
I have a need to modify the ComboBox template to italicize placeholder text. That's a easy thing to do; however, now that I've created a new template I have to name it and add a Style={StaticResource MyNewStyle} to ALL the comboboxes in my app.
If I leave my new template unnamed - to override the default - none of the theme resource changes that I already have in place are picked up by the existing ComboBoxes, and they revert to their default look.
There's clearly something wrong in the way I'm doing it or the way it's implemented.

Creating a Subreport inside a Subreport

Post Author: Robin
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I have created a report (R1) with Crystal Reports XI with two subreports inside. Now I want to create another report (R2) where i insert the first report as a subreport. Now, the subreports in R1 are deleted automatically. There is no error during the import of R1, but the subreports are still missing. I see no other way to avoid the need of subreports in subreports. Does anyone know a solution for this problem?
Regards

CA Forum: General
You're not avoiding nested subreports this way, when you insert a report with subreports, it is still using nested subreports, and Crystal doesn't support this. One level deep only for subreports.
Try to avoid subreports in general by using advanced SQL.
