  • Converting a binary string into a JPEG image in Crystal Reports 2008

    Hi Gang
    Iu2019m having problems converting a binary string into an image in Crystal Reports 2008
    I have JPEG images stored in ECC.  ECC stores the data in binary format.
    Iu2019m using the ECC function module SKWF_PHIO_CONTENT_ACCESS_GET to retrieve the data.  This function module has an export table, FILE_CONTENT_BINARY, which returns several lines of data.  Each line contains a maximum of 1,024 characters.
    When I drop the T_ FILE_CONTENT_BINARY.LINE field into my Crystal Report detail section, I wind up with a report that displays all the lines in FILE_CONTENT_BINARY table.  (in my case, 19 lines are displayed.)
    I created a formula to collect all the data into a single string.
    whileprintingrecords;
    stringvar data:= data & {SKWF_PHIO_CONTENT_ACCESS_GET.T_FILE_CONTENT_BINARY.LINE}
    I added the formula to the detail section and itu2019s doing a great job collecting the data.
    I then inserted a picture object in the report footer, opened the format editor, navigated to the u201Cpictureu201D tab, and inserted a formula for the u201Cgraphics locationu201D.
    whileprintingrecords;
    stringvar data:=data;
    data
    My clever idea turned out to be a disappointment . . . . my picture object is blank.
    Does anyone have a solution for converting a binary string into a JPEG image?

    Save the JPEG in a format CR supports. Refer to the help file for the file types.

  • Crystal Reports 2008 Redistribution on 64 Bit Server

    I have a small application that uses Crystal Reports 2008 in not-integrated mode.  Meaning that the .rpt files are seperate from the web application and the web application has to know the absolute path to the .rpt files before it can run them.  My question is how do I deploy Crystal Reports 12 to a windows server 2003 x64 server?  I have installed the redist.msi and the reports won't work I keep getting the following error:

    My only guess is that there is some configuration I am not doing on the server. Can someone help me?

    I think the frustration is coming more from the combination of lack of support for x64 (quite surprising for such an established product) combined with a site that's very difficult to navigate and use (the BusinessObjects site).
    We ourselves have also just invested a great deal of time in building some Crystal Reports for a pilot system for a large US Insurance Company and cannot choose to avoid a 64-bit target server.  We deploy at the end of next week and though we can compile deliberately for 32 bit as outlined in your post, this causes all sorts of other issues with other assemblies we are using that are not binary compiled for a specific platform and that we cannot ourselves recompile.
    To be concise, your posted solution is not really a solution unless a number of other assumptions are true that we all know in practical terms to be unrealistic for anything but the simplest of apps.
    For us, pulling Crystal at this point is embarassing for the customer (they specifically requested that we use it) and for Business Objects, and creates a deadline crunch in our project plan as we convert to Telerik or some other x64 solution.
    We will certainly follow up with phone support to see if there are other choices (doubtful), but given that you offer a trial version of Crystal 2008 I think it's remiss that there are no clear guidelines in a publicly-reachable forum that discuss in detail how to deploy completely to x64 including ensuring that other related issues to using a 32-bit compilation on x64 are mentioned/covered.  I certainly can see that even an advanced developer would continue to hold out hope that there is some configuration option combination that will work.
    Finally, can you provide any guidance on when Crystal Reports will catch up to Windows 2000, 2003 and 2008 and provide a 64-bit runtime?

  • Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and BO XI 3.1 conflict

    Hi every body,
    We have a BOE system:
    BO XI 3.1
    Oracle db 10g
    All running successful and can create some types of WebI report.
    But we also want reports with Crystal Report.
    1> So we install Crystal Report 2008 SP3 (without knowing the conflict error between BO XI 3.1 and Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and overwrite some .dll file). After installing, we can not create WebI report any more. And a error message box display: "DBDriver failed to load: C:\Program File\Business Objects\BusinessObjects ENterprise12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\dbd_oci.dll ".
    2> We uninstall Crystal Report SP3. But this is not the solution. Still error because of missing .dll files.
    3> We open BO XI 3.1 setup and repair BO XI 3.1. Even we uninstall BO XI 3.1, delete all of its components and delete in regedit key. We install BO XI 3.1 again. Now we have full .dll file, not missing them any more. But when we open universe and click on Table browser, cannot fetching any tables.
    We set rights for Oracle DB user again. But still error: cannot fetching.
    4> We searched the solution for this problem on the internet. But not worked, no answer.
    Can somebody help me bring back the BOE system state again ? pls   :"<
    T______T

    Hi Paul,
    I hope I read your question right!
    Yes, It is possible to run XIR2 and 3.1 on the same server although it's not recommended by BO. You will need to make sure they are both pointing to different CMS databases and different FRS repositories, like you already mentioned you will need to specify different ports for the CMS db and Tomcat.
    Why not uninstall Business Objects XI R2 in your BO development environment or a spare server (if you have one), and do a clean install of XI 3.1 SP3.
    Tip: If you were already having performance issues with your XI R2 environment, I would seriously consider upgrading the hardware. XI 3.1 needs a bit more RAM and CPU than XI R2

  • Error while dynamically setting logo image in Crystal Report 2008

    Hi,
    We have embedded Crystal Report 2008 JRC in our web application which is an Enterprise Archive (EAR) deployed on WebSphere Application Server.
    The RPT files bundulled in the archive displays a logo which is dynamicalli picked up by the RPT files from a configured location. Due to this the Report generation crashes when travesed to the sub reports/ groups within RPT. We have observed that this problem never occures if the logo is hard coded within the RPT files.
    The report crashing causes another big problem, it crashes the Applciation Server too. This is major concern to us and we need a resolution to this problem.
    Thanks in advance

  • Not able to get the tables in crystal report 2008

    Hi,
    I am using crystal report 2008 and trying to connect MS SQL using OLE DB (ADO) connection. After giving all DB credentials data base tables are not appearing in the connection. how to get the tables for selection in crystal report 2008.
    Regards,
    Sree

    In the CR Designer, select the connection and press the right mouse button. Select Options in the context menu and check if there is an entry in the Table name fiel. Maybe you have a placeholder there that does not match the names of the tables in the database. Just remove it, close the window by pressing OK and refresh the connection browser (press F5). Unfold the connection again and check if you can see the tables now.
    Regards,
    Stratos

  • Exporting Options in Crystal Reports 2008

    I am using Crystal Reports 2008 to make my report for my users.   I am also programming a viewer in vb 2005 so the users can view the report without changing it.  In the viewer I need to be able to export to excel or pdf or any other format.  I want the user to be able to specify where and how to export the report.  However when they press on the export button it is giving a save as dialog box, which, while it gives options to save as excel or pdf, it does not give the options such as to application, or to file, which are there in the full crystal report product. 
    My form gets the report name, sets up the data source and then displays it in a
    CrystalReportViewer object. 
    CrystalViewer.ReportSource = MyReportDocument
            CrystalViewer.DisplayToolbar = True
            CrystalViewer.ShowRefreshButton = False
            CrystalViewer.DisplayStatusBar = True
            CrystalViewer.EnableDrillDown = True
            CrystalViewer.EnableRefresh = False
            CrystalViewer.EnableToolTips = True
            CrystalViewer.ShowExportButton = True
    The export button is there, it just does not give all of the options that I would have expected.  I see there are ways to programatically use the options, however the export dialog box that appears in crystal reports 2008 would be useful to the user here.  Is there a way to make that box show up.  Perhaps it should be and I am doing something wrong.  I am very new to .net and crystal 2008, we used to use crystal 8.0 with vb6 for a viewer.  In that version the export dialog box showed up correctly.  Thank you for your help.  Also, if i am posting this in the wrong forum area please let me know so i can post it where it should be.

    You are doing things the correct way, unfortunately the export dialog is very basic.  If you want this extra functionality, you will have to code it yourself.

  • Two problmes between  Crystal Reports 2008 and Bex Query

    Hi Gurus.
    I have two problems with Crystal Reports 2008 when It obtains data from a Bex Query (SAP MDX query connection).
    1)     I have defined some Parameters Fields using the follow options:
    Type: String
    List of Values: Dynamic
    Value Options Level1:
                         Show on (Viewer) Panel :Editable
                          Prompt text: <text>
                          Sort Order: Ascending by value
                          Prompt With description Only : False
                          Optional Prompt: True
                          Allow multiple values: True
                          Allow discrete values: True
                          Allow range values: False
    When I execute the report with the client of Crystal Reports 2008 (the developer tool), in the initial screen shows a list box where I can select the values from the left box and add it to the left box (as a usually filter). When the number of options (LOV) is more than  the maximum of the system, I have a input box bellow the list box, where I can insert any value (manually) and a button to insert it into the left box. When I publish the Report in the infoview, this filter is modified and the input box where I can introduce manually values is not showed and I can insert only the values showed in the list box, it causes that I can`t select a lot of values that is in the master data of SAP BW, because they arenu2019t listed in the list box.
    There is any option to ability this option in the infoview.
    2)     My Bex query, have a date filter with variable in the restricted key figures, when I execute a Crystal Reports, the infoview (and the Crystal Reports 2008 designer) ask me 2 times the same date, first only the date and second the date and the rest of parameters (introduced in the report of Crystal Reports).
    Why I need insert the date 2 times? How can I modify the Crystal Report for ask me only one time all the parameters?.
    Thanks.

    Hi Abhilash.
    Thank you for your information.
    1) Yes, the parameters are created in the Crystal Reports designer. I have created the parameters in the Crystal Report because I use the same Bex Query to create some Crystal Report, in other case, I will need create some Bex Query.
    2)The Bex query has the date filters and I have created some filters in Crystal Reports designer, the date filter from the Bex query is created automatically in the Crystal Report Designer but I don't use it, I haven't created it anytime. I use my filters only in the record selection. The date filters from the Bex query is showed as Static, and I can`t delete it, if I modify the parameter to dynamic or static with values, at first step ask me again static without values and the second step of the report execution ask me the parameter as I have defined in Crystal Reports Designer, my parameters fields are dynamic. A lot of reports have subreport, but I have created one of them without subreport (to trial) and the Crystal Reports ask me the date filters at first execution, and when I insert the date filters, in the second step, ask me the date filters again and my parameters fields again.
    Thank you again.

  • Crystal Reports 2008 Repository Explorer

    Hi,
    I am new to Crystal Reports 2008. I want to use Crystal Reports 2008 Repository.  My question is as it was done in Crystal Report 9 Professional edition that a crystal report developer can create a Repository while using Crystal Report 9 Professional edition without Crystal report Server, Is this also possible with Crystal Report 2008. If we only have Crystal Report 2008 designer or developer edition, can we create Repository's i.e.  Text Objects,  Images,  Custom Functions,  SQL  Commands etc without having Crystal Report 2008 Server, if yes please let me know the method.
    Thanks in advance
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I was on web found this link
    http://www.crystalkeen.com/articles/crystalreports/repository.htm
    which says that:
    Crystal Reports: Repository
    A solid understanding of the repository can really improve the the efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness of your reports. Hammerman and Associates offers classes on this very subject. We aren't going to cover all of it here, but will provide some highlights.
    Use the CR9 Repository for those commonly used objects
    The Crystal Reports 9.0 repository is a great place to store some commonly used items in your report. This includes text strings, images, SQL Commands (see next item) and Custom Formulas.
    The Repository is initially stored in an Access database and has an ODBC connection with the System DSN of u201CCrystal Repository.u201D But you can use any ODBC data source including a database in your network so you can all share the same common objects.
    Create a new database for the repository. We recommend you copy the existing MS-Access database, but you can start with an empty database. (The initial repository is Repository_en.mdb, stored in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin).
    Create an ODBC connection to the new database. The new database does not have to be an Access database. If you use your SQL Server or Oracle server then, by using server security you can control who can view and who can edit items in the repository.
    You next need to set Crystal Reports 9.0 to use this new Database connection. This control information is stored in an INI file and can be edited with any text editor such as NotePad. The INI file is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin\orMap.ini .
    There is a line in this file that saysu2026 Crystal Repository=Crystal Repository .
    Edit this to say Crystal Repository=New ODBC DSN.
    Is this also possible with Crystal Report 2008 designer/developer edition.
    Thanks

  • How to get Description of parameter filed in Crystal report 2008

  • Issue with use of shared variables in Crystal Reports 2008 Offline Viewer

    Hi,
    I have a report that contains a number of sub-reports which include drill-down functionality. The report returns data relating to an individual team with the user being able to view top level summary information in each area from the parent report and then drill into the sub-reports to view see more detail. The data returned by the sub-reports is filtered, using sub-report links, based on the team code parameter value given by the user. This parameter field resides in the main report.
    One of the values returned by the main report is the team name. This is passed to each sub-report using a shared variable and each sub-report displays this team name as part of a heading.
    This all works fine in Crystal Reports 2008, but when a report, containing data, is opened using Crystal 2008 Offline Viewer there is a problem with the shared variable. The value is displayed correctly when the user initially drills into the sub-report. However, when the user begins to drill into grouped data within the sub-report the value passed to the sub-report using the shared variable disappears. 
    How can I ensure that, when a report is viewed using Crystal Offline Viewer 2008, the value within the shared variable is not lost when users drill into grouped data within sub-reports
    Thanks

  • Dynamic Sorting on Multiple filed in Crystal report 2008

    Hi
      I am using Crystal report 2008 sp3 full build with hotfix 3.3 along with ASP.NET 2.0
      I have implimented the multi filed sorting using the record sort export and setting the sort order in the report designer.
    Now my requirement is such that i would like to have dynamic sorting on multiple fileds while report is displayed in the UI.
    Means suppose i have a report with Customer region,name,city,rating,status etc.
    Now by using the sort control  i would like to have the functionality in such a way that if user
    a)  first sorts on the region then the records should be first sorted by region
    b)  then sorts on the city then the records should be sorted first by region then by city
    c) now sorts on the  rating then the records should be sorted first by region ,second by city and then by rating
    Now other user may do
    a) first sorts on the rating then the records should be first sorted by rating
    b)  then sorts on the status then the records should be sorted first by rating then by status
    c) now user sorts on the  region then the records should be sorted first by rating,second by status and then by region
    and so on the sorting criteria changes from user to user through the UI.
    Is there any way to achieve the dynamic kind of sorting with Crytsal report 2008 where we can set the order of the fileds at sorting in UI dynamically .The sorting order of the fields are not known at the time of design of the report and its completely depends on the user's need.
    Please let me know if you require any information on the same.
    Regards,
    smitha

    Hello,
       Good Day!
       Thanks for your answer.
       Could you please explain me in detail how to achieve this functionality?
       Do i need to create a static parameter?
       I  get my data set through the command option in crystal report.So i think i need to go by formula in the report.
       i am just putting down the steps to follow.Please correct me if i am wrong.
      step1 :Create s static parameter with the name SORT.
    step2: create the formula as you have mentioned like     
        (IF {?Sort}='Vendor Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}& " "& {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_remt_key}
        & " " & {@date}
       else
        IF {?Sort}='Invoice Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_invno}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
        " " &{@date}
       else
       IF {?Sort}='Invoice Amount' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_amtc}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
         " " &{@date})
        I could not  understand what this formula is really doing .
        Could you please tell me what the following names indicates? :
                  Pr_Voucher_Status :- Table/Command name ??
                  Vendor Number,Invoice Number etc.. :-  ??
                 Vendor_Key,ap_vchr_invno,ap_vchr_amtc .. :-  Filed names ??
                 use of 1.{} :- ??                              
    step3: place the below formula in the page header  to display the sort order
        (if {?SORT}='Vendor Number' then "Vendor Number, Remit To, Invoice Date"
              else if {?SORT}='Invoice Number' then "Invoice Number, Vendor Number, Invoice Date"
              else if {?SORT}='Invoice Amount' then "Invoice Amount, Vendor Number, Invoice Date") .
    Note:-My report does not have grouping.Do i need to have grouping?
    in this case how the sort control will work  ?
    As i have mentioned in the first post the order of sorting is completely depends on the user's perspective .
    The report is used by the whole organization ..
    i mean the people with different roles like Manger,Team leads,modul leads,developers ,testers etc..
    the usage of report varies according to the roles so the sort order also.
    Regards,
    smitha.

  • VS2008/VS2005 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer

    Hi,
    1.) I am using VS2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer. Are there any issues I need to consider when developing using both of the above? (or with VS2005)
    2.) The confusion for me is in regards to the SDK. From what I understand from articles etc is that using CR 2008 dev we can use the .NET SDK or RAS SDK for development purposes?
    3.) So downloaded the sample code for RAS .NET from [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] and tried "DatabaseLogon_CS" example, as the option. It automatically opened in VS2005 (no problem) however it would not run.
    I would get an error :
    Failed to connect to server "localhost".
    Error returned from Windows Sockets API : 0.
    and line causing this is >>> rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
    Code below:
            string sampleReportPath = @"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Samples\en\Reports\Demonstration\World Sales Report.rpt";
            object path = (object)sampleReportPath;
            // Create an instance of the ReportClientDocument.
            ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
            // Set the location of the RAS server.
            rcd.ReportAppServer = "localhost";
            // Use the Open() method of the ReportClientDocument to open the report.
            rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
    I have been able to open the RPT file by itself. So it does 'see' the database.
    Reason why it would not run?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    If you're using the sample code from our website, make sure you have uncommented the InprocRAS option in the ConfigureCrystalReports method (see below). From your error description it seems like you're using the unmanaged RAS option, which requires a RAS server.
    private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
            /* The following methods implement the same sample functionality in three different RAS
             * scenarios. Uncomment the method you would like to use.
             * - inprocRAS() logs onto a databse using RAS and SQL authentication.
             * - managedRAS() logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from a managed RAS server.
             * - unmanagedRAS () logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from an unmanaged RAS server.
             * Undocument the call to the method which applies to your appropriate RAS settings.
            DatabaseLogon_inprocRAS();
            //DatabaseLogon_managedRAS();
            //DatabaseLogon_unmanagedRAS();

  • Memory could no be read in Crystal Reports 2008

    I'm getting the following error in Crystal Reports 2008 when I want to open the Format menu in the toolbar The moment Crystal Reports 2008 has just started (no report is loaded):
    Crystal Reports: crw32.exe - Application Error
    The Instruction at "0x00a1305d" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".
    Click on OK to terminate the program
    Click on CANCEL to debug the program
    The moment I click on the format menu a process SVCHOST has 100% CPU Usage for some moments and after a few seconds the errormessage appears.
    I'm working on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Service Pack 2 with 2 CPU's and 3 GB of memory.
    The version of Crystal Reports is an evaluation version with Service Pack 2 on it (version = 12.0.0.840).
    When I install the same Crystal Report version on the client, the error doesn't occurs.
    What could be wrong on the server.?

  • Crystal Report 2008 export to text problem

    Hello,
    I am using Crystal Reports 2008 for generating reports in our WPF application. In this application, we are exporting the report to txt file on a button click. Now the application contains a form called u2018Print Manageru2019, through which the user can print the exported report(text files). Now the issue, when we try to the any of the exported report file through the application, the printer leaves alternate blank pages. The printer used in this case is DOT MATRIX EPSON LQ-1150II ESC/P2. We even tried printing the text file on HP Laser jet 4600, but the same issue is faced.
    Also, please note that when I try to read the exported txt file, a formfeed(u2018\fu2019 page break) character  can be seen  at the place where the printer leaves a blank page. Hence, my concern is, Is there any property of crystal report that I am missing on or is this a printer driver issue? But if it would have been a driver issue, then changing the printer might have solved the issue.
    I also  tried  doing u2018Keep Togetheru2019 property = false of all the sections of the report. Also, I found that the u2018New Page Afteru2019 property = true and disabled for the u2018Page Footeru2019 section. So I set u2018New Page Afteru2019 property = false programmatically as
    rdTest.ReportDefinition.Sections["Section5"].SectionFormat.EnableNewPageAfter = false;
    but no luck.
    If anyone has faced similar problem or have any clues, please help!
    Any kind of help in solving this issue will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in anticipation!

    Good morning.
    We've got something to get straight first
    When you say "...from the Report Viewer. The report printed as expected on HP printer...", do you mean the viewer of the .NET app, or the viewer of the CR designer?
    And version 12.0.0.683, is very old (well as far as CR is concerned anyhow   ). That version is SP 1, we are now on SP 2. So that will be the place to start. Get to SP 2 which can be downloaded from here;
