Bug? Optional Crystal Parameters in InfoView if R3 is connected!

Hi There,
in another [thread|Re: Optional Crystal Parameters aren't optional in InfoView; we tested a lot with optional crystal parameters in InfoView. I created two similar reports, one is connected to oracle, the other is connected to SAP R3 Infosets and Tables. If i create an optional input-parameter with a standard-value for the report it works fine (and optional). I've also created a "if (hasvalue) then else condition" when the user deletes the standard value and does not enter a value then. Everything works perfect as long as a oracle database is connected.
If i try to do the same connected to a R3 Table or a R3 Infoset, the parameter is not optional, the standard value is missing and due to this, i cannot test the "if (hasvalue) then else condition" because i cannot run the report without a parameter.
All this happens only in InfoView. If you run it directly in crystal, everything works fine...
I think i've found a Bug.
Colleagues told me that there should be similar problems when you try to connect a BW Query...
Thanks
Sebastian

Is there anybody out there who can also test this issue ?
Thanks
Sebastian

Crystal Report with standard Input-Parameters in InfoView

Hi there,
i've created a crystal report which has non-optional input parameters, e.g, Date from ... Date to ...
I've managed to fill this parameter with standard parameters if the user does not choose a value. e.g. date is today - 14 days.
If i start the report in crystal and do not enter a input-parameter, it gets it input parameer automatically, see:
(if not hasvalue({?PARA_TA_von}) then ({PW_BO_HU_TA.LTAP-WDATU}>=CurrentDate-14) else ({PW_BO_HU_TA.LTAP-WDATU}>={?PARA_TA_von}))
It works perfectly in crystal. But if i start the Report in Webintelligence Infoview, it doesn't work and i get the message to enter the input-parameters....
Any idea ?
Thanks,
Sebastian

Hi Ingo,
I have tried the sample reports and other crystal reports created with data sources other than SAP which all work fine. The problem happens on all clients and the server when running reports with SAP data source.
I did find an error in the Tomcat logs.
[/SAP].[jsp] Thread [http-8080-Processor24]; Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/crystaldecisions/Utilities/LengthLimitedDataInputStream
I did manage to run one report which had 4 records but the other reports which vary from 432 - 2500 records return the error found in the tomcat logs.
I will be installing BOE XI 3.1 on my desktop to see if the still issue occurs in this release.
Thanks and Regards,
Paul.

Regarding Crystal Report and infoview

Hi All,
In My project I have the following requirements.
I have published a crystal report in infoview which contains three parameters field.
Report is running fine . At the parameter selection screen three options is coming "Execute" "Collapsed All"
and "Expand all" and user wants that it should contain only one option "Execute" or "OK" button.
Is it possible that I can change it from anywhere?Please reply me.

Keep in mind that we are not talking about the BOE or CR SDK here (which is supported from SAP) rather about modifying the existing BOBJ code.
You may try to use the BOE and Crystal SDK to write your own report viewers but to be honest you will save yourself a lot of time and money if you just tell your users/customers what those buttons do and ask them to avoid them.

Crystal Report Server - InfoView question

Hi . I have a question on the Crystal Report Server. I want to send the output ( excel file ) from a crystal report in Infoview. I tried to click the 'Send To' button, but it only sends out the .rpt file. Please help...

Hi,
If you schedule the report you will have output file options for Excel, PDF, Word...
You should probably have an Export option on your viewer as well - Excel should appear in this. (You need to have permissions to see this)
Regards
Alan
PS: This should be posted to the BO General or Crystal Reports forums.

Hierarchy on HANA Calculation View with Optional Input Parameters Fails

Hi,
Has anyone succeeded in building a hierarchy on top of a calculation view with optional input parameters, where an input parameter is not filled?
The original requirement came from the wish to create a parent child hierarchy on a calculation view that was copied into the customer space from a HANA Live Financial Statement query view, but I have found the following when creating a simple level hierarchy on a calculation view that consumes one table. The Calculation View has one Input Parameter where the 'mandatory' box is unchecked.
Calculation view reads ECC table FAGLFLEXT
Simple level based hierarchy on fields PRCTR, RACCT and SEGMENT
Input parameter is used as a filter for PRCTR with logic ("EMPTY" = '$$P_PROFITCTR$$' or "PRCTR" = '$$P_PROFITCTR$$')
When I run the view I see the following behaviour in HANA Studio and Analysis for Excel
Before building the hierarchy I could run the view with or without the Input Parameter
After building the hierarchy I can run the view with the Input Parameter filled, but it fails when the Input Parameter is not filled.
Error message is "error: search table error: [2426] missing placeholder; missing value for mandatory parameter P_PROFITCTR"
P_PROFITCTR is not a mandatory parameter, but the selection for the hierarchy view thinks it should be. I don't find any notes around this issue, so I don't think it's version related, however the version I have used for this test is 1.00.70.
It's a shame we can't currently build the hierarchy as the parent child relationship is provided in HANA Live view NewGLFinancialStatementQuery.
Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,
We have been facing similar issue. We have even tried to set default value and as optional parameter. View still fails to create hierarchy (we are not using HANA live). As mentioned on page 97 of HANA modelling guide input parameter is mandatory from engine point of view. Hierarchy is generated as column view during the initial activation of calculation view and therefore expect a value by caller.
This seems to be a product error. Some one from HANA development team should explain this issue in detail. I would expect someone like Thomas Jung reply to us.
At the moment, we cant use input parameter for date prompt which gives us calendar popup feature for date selection. Hierarchies just don't work with input parameter. We are missing something.

Select-options and parameters

hi,
In How many ways we can define select-options and parameters.

hi uday,
Usually we use PARAMETERS for single value input and
SELECT-OPTIONS is used to give a range of input values for a single field
SELECT-OPTIONS implicitly consists of internal table with fields
OPTIONS
LOW
HIGH
SIGN
eg:
      DATA: G_VBELN TYPE VBAK-VBELN.
      SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME.
      PARAMETERS : P_VBELN LIKE VBAK-VBELN.
      SELECT-OPTIONS: S_VBELN FOR G_VBELN.
      SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B1.
   o/p:
          P_VBELN: _________________.
         S_VBELN:___________ TO ____________.

Select-options and Parameters, when to use what?

Hi gurus,
I have been using Parameters for long. Now I want to choose a range of values, which I need to retrieve from database.
I tried using select-options. Can't I use 2 parameters that is parameter1 and parameter2 and mention query BETWEEN para1 AND
para2, and when I use NO INTERVALS and NO EXTENSION together, it behaves same like parameter, then why did SAP gave these
extensions.

Hi friend,
Simple differences between Select-options and parameters.
Select-Options Uses keyword 'for'
Parameters Uses keywords 'like', 'type'
Select-Options Uses operator 'in'
Parameters Uses operator '='
Select-Options Provides ranges for selection
Parameters No ranges only single value
Select-Options Creates selection table
Parameters No selection table
Select-Options When i/p blank all records selected
Parameters   When i/p blank none is selected
Note:
Select options can act as parameters by using 'no-extension' 'no intervals', but all records will be selected when i/p is blank unlike parameters.
Might be helpful..
Thanks...

How to create a selection option or parameters in a subarea of the screen

Hi Experts,
    My program have a screen 1001 and it is splited into two parts: the first is a Subarea for selection option, and the last is a table control. Now I want to create some selection option and parameters in the first subarea just like we do in screen 1000. Do we have any convenient way to do that?
Thanks in advance
Joe

Hi Joe,
Yes ,it can be done like below code:
TABLES : mara.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 1001 AS SUBSCREEN.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_matnr FOR mara-matnr,
                s_matkl FOR mara-matkl,
                s_mtart FOR mara-mtart.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN 1001.
DATA: number(4) TYPE n VALUE '1001'.
START-OF-SELECTION.
CALL SCREEN 100.
in screen flow logic .write below statements.
first declare the subscreen area 'AREA' in screen.
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_0100.
CALL SUBSCREEN area INCLUDING sy-repid number.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
CALL SUBSCREEN area.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0100.

HI major diffrence in select-options and parameters

Hi,
Can any one explain me the major diffrence between select options and parameters.
I know that in select options we can give a range of values and in parameter one value.
Thanks

Hello Hari,
I would see following differences:
1. As you have mentioned, many values/ranges can be given in the SELECT-OPTIONS. However, the parameter can hold only one value.
2. In the run time, we see the data w.r.t a select option as an Internal table and Parameter may be accessed as a global variable.
3. Consider following statements:
a. select-options: s_matnr for mara-matnr no-extension no intervals.
b. parameters: P_MATNR like mara-matnr.
Both the statements look same on the selection screen.
consider the SQLs:
<b>select * into corresponding fields of table g_t_mara
from mara
where
matnr in s_matnr.</b>
and
<b>select * into corresponding fields of table g_t_mara
from mara
where
matnr eq p_matnr.</b>
both the SQLs give the same output if the user gives a material number on Selection screen.
If the user does NOT give any input in selection screen, the first SQL will fetch all data from DB, whereas the SQL with the PARAMETER will fail.
So I think we should keep in mind the requirement and code accordingly.
I hope this helps you.

How to display wide crystal reports in Infoview

I have Crystal reports which are about 50 inches wide, I have chosen a PDF writer as the printer driver to fit the layout in the Crystal reports client tool and I export this report to the BO server on a AIX (Unix) server.
This report when viewed via Infoview, the report gets chopped off anything more than 12 inches approx. I have tried various printer settings and even no printer, I am able to scale upto 24 inches at the maximum.
How can I be able to display the 50 inches wide crystal report in infoview. Any help would be appreciable.
Environment: BO XI R2 SP 3.5, AIX 5.3
Thanks in advance,

Contact the University's IT dept, they may be able to set something up on the network to allow the ATV to connect without the need for a user name/password.

Crystal Report Viewer Not Releasing Oracle Database Connections

I have a very simple vb.net 3.5 web application that uses the Crystal Report viewer 2008 to open a report. My requirements are as follows:
1. Reports are built by another company and provided to us and used in a web environment
2. All reports contain parameter fields
3. The web application must be generic enough that a report can be added to a list and the user simply selects the report and provides database login information. The Crystal report viewer with handle the request for parameter values and prompt the user for their values.
4. All reports connect to an Oracle 10g server.
The above requirements have been meet and we have an extremely simple web application that runs the reports. It is working very well other than the crystal report viewer is not releasing the database connections. This is bad because the credentials are on a per user basis and that same user must login to a different oracle application simultaneously. They are being denied access because the credentials are already in use. We do not have control nor influence over the policies in use on the Oracle server. Ideally we would like to control the Crystal Report viewer so that it closes connections after use.
The web application code is:
Private Sub viewReports_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
If Not IsPostBack Then
ConfigureCrystalReport()
End If
End Sub
Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReport()
'Load the Crystal Report viewer with a report.
Try
Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath(Session("reportname"))
crViewer.ReportSource = reportPath
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write(Server.MapPath(Session("reportname")) & "
" & ex.Message.ToString & "
" & ex.StackTrace.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
Can anyone shed some light on this topic? Thank you

Hello, Timothy;
By default, having the report in session will hold it open for 20 minutes.
If you create the report as a ReportDocument object you can take it out of session and release it more efficiently. That will release the connection.
    Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReports()
        If (Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") Is Nothing) Then
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = New ReportDocument()
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Load(Server.MapPath("Hierarchical Grouping.rpt"))
            Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") = hierarchicalGroupingReport
        Else
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = CType(Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport"), ReportDocument)
        End If
        myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = hierarchicalGroupingReport
    End Sub
In the Form Unload of the Viewer:
            'Take the report out of session
            Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") = Nothing
            Session.Contents.Remove("hierarchicalGroupingReport")
            'Clean up the ReportDocument object
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Close
            hierarchicalGroupingReport.Dispose()
            hierarchicalGroupingReport = Nothing
            GC.Collect()

I recently created a new apple ID
Bad idea.
Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.

My phone doesn't give me the option to turn mirroring on when trying to connect to apple tv. As far as I can see everything is updated and the AirPlay is turned on. Be grateful if anyone knows what's wrong.
