Can I create a dynamic report in the server without using a report template

Hi,
My company just bought a Crystal Report Server XI and it didn't have a report designer.
I can't start creating report without the designer.
The question is can I generate a dynamic report at runtime (on the crystal report server ) without using report template?
My project requirement is to use a crystal report server to manage the reports.
Some client web application will just access this report server.
I hope the experts can provide me some guidance.
regards,
Rulix

Hi Rulix,
The latest version of CR Server is 2008. Therefore I'm assuming you are using CR Server 2008.
New in CR 2008 is the .NET report modification software development kit (SDK). The report application server (RAS) SDK is now available for users of Crystal Reports .NET API without the use of a RAS server. Report modification such as changing, adding, or removing database providers, or adding, removing, or creating report objects, parameters, formulas, and sections can be achieved by accessing the RAS SDK through the Crystal Reports .NET SDK.
Java developers however receive the JRC and Java SDK documentation through the free Crystal Reports for Eclipse download. This product will be updated on a separate schedule from Crystal Reports.
Further Information and samples are available in our [Developer Library|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/businessobjects?rid=/webcontent/uuid/5001d5de-f867-2b10-00bf-8d27683c85a0]
Kind regards,
Tim

How can i create an dynamic report in Java

hello everybody,
I want to make dynamic reports in Java. Report contain data and images with good layout.. such as crystal reports presentation..
Reports fields decided at run time or we can say that it is generated according to user requirement...
can it is possible in Java. If it is then which tool is better for it..
please suggest me.. this is very urgent requirement for me...

i don't know what types of tools are avaiable in market... Tools for what? You still didn't tell us what exactly you want to do.
i just imagin that
"An user create a database dynamically on server
databaseNobody "dynamically creates a database".
and he decide reports desgin according to
his requirement..... we provide an control for this
type possibilities....."
so this is question is build in my mind.. so i
forward this question to this forums..
I am just going to check the physibility of my mind
imagination...Feasibility you mean. IMHO, the feasibility of creating that stuff yourself is very low. Reinventing the wheel usually doesn't make it better, and it's likely to be more expensive to pay you for creating an inferior solution (not because of lack of skills, but simply because the available products had a few years time to grow, feature-wise) than to simply buy the licenses. Look at Crystal Reports or JFreeChart or Jasper Reports. Or use Google to look up J2EE-based reporting libraries. There might be more.
Which of these is best, I don't know, I never used any of those. Also, the definition of "best" changes with the requirements. What's better, a Ferrari or a truck?

How can I create a hyperlink directly in the navigation menu using iWeb09?

I would like to add a URL to an external page in the navigation menu of my website using iWeb09. I have not been able to change the URL automatically generated by iWeb09 for each new page. The best I can do is to select text or an image that I want to link to the external page. I would rather create the hyperlink directly in the navigation menu. Is there a way of doing this?

Try this...
Create a blank internal page named "Link" (actually you can name the page whatever you want.) Then in that "Link" page add an HTML Snippet with the following code:
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.window.location = "http://www.externalpage.com"; // change this to your own URL
</script>
...Once published, clicking on "Link" in iWeb’s navbar will immediately redirect to the external page. (Thanks to Cyclosaurus for the code).

Can I create a smart playlist on my iPhone without using iTunes first?

I often find myself on my iPhone, away from my computer, wanting to further refine the currently playing smarlist, say only play tracks with three stars or more. It would be nice to have this, or just iTunes DJ (iPhone DJ?) on my iPhone, with an option to play higher rated songs more often.

SERIOUSLY!!! I was pretty shocked when I realized iTunes DJ isn't on my iPhone. It seems like it should be, seeing as 1) it's one of the main perks/rewards of going through the hassle of rating all your songs, and 2) for many people (including myself) most music listening time is spent on their iDevices (listening in the car, at work, etc.). So the fact that it's not there to be utilized is pretty weird and slightly upsetting. Also the DJ mix should sync between iDevice and computer so you can continue listening to the same list going to and from home.

Can I create a dynamic number of inputs during runtime?

Can I create a dynamic number of inputs during runtime?
Oracle 11g
Application Express 4.0.2.00.06
Here is my problem:
We have a table that holds metadata about files (hardcopy or softcopy files).
We expect we may need more columns in the table at some point and don't want to modify the table or the application.
So in order to do this I would like to create:
A table called TBL_FILE with the columns:
TBL_FILE_ID               NUMBER                (This will be the primary key)
TBL_FILE_NAME          VARCHAR2(1000) (This will be the name of the file)
A second table will be called TBL_FILE_META with the columns:
TBL_META_ID               NUMBER               (This will be the primary key)
TBL_FILE_ID               NUMBER                (This will be the forign key to the file table)
TBL_META_COLUMN     VARCHAR2(30)     (This is what the column name would be if it existed in TBL_FILE)
TBL_META_VALUE          VARCHAR2(1000) (This is the value that record and the 'would be' column)
So a person can have as much meta data on the file with out having to add columns to the table.
The problem is how can I allow users to add as much data as they like with out having to re develop the page.
Other things to note is that we would like this to be on a single page.
I know how to add we can create multi-row inserts by using a SQL Query (updateable report),
however the TBL_META_VALUE column in the TBL_FILE_META will sometimes be a select list and other times a text box or number field.
So I don't see now a SQL Query (updateable report) would work for this and I can't create an array of page items at run time can I?
Any idea's how I could accomplish this? Is there a better way of doing this?
Also is there a term or a name for what I am doing by creating these 'virtual' columns in another table?
I found this method when looking at Oracles Workflow tables.

Creating Page Items dynamically is not available. You will have to create excess items and hide/show , etc. But you cannot change the Item Type. All in all, too many limitations in this approach.
>
Other things to note is that we would like this to be on a single page.
>
The 100 item limit will hit you if you go with extra item on page. With Tabular Form that should not be a limitation, unless you are exceeding the 50 item limit of APEX_APPLICATION.G_Fnn items, and the 60 column limitation of Report region with "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)" of Dynamic region.

If the type if item is variable it only means you need a way to store the item type. Meta Data of the Meta Data.

So I don't see now a SQL Query (updateable report) would work for this and I can't create an array of page items at run time can I?

Yes, you can do it. Updatable report/ Tabular Form query can be constructed from the Meta Data using PL/SQL Function Returning SQL Query . It will be a bit of coding in PL/SQL where you use the Meta Data and the Meta Data of the Meta Data to piece together your SELECT with the right APEX_ITEMs. It might have a performance penalty associated with it, but will not be a serious degradation.

I guess that is just a good TNF. It is the Master-Detail Design Pattern, that sound more modern ? ;)

Create a dynamic report

Hi,
I would like to create a dynamic report in crystal report.
put data fields, text fields, criteria parameters on report in run time.
I will appreciate if you can send me an example code in java that creates and shows the report.
Thanks,
Anat

So find the appropriate website and forum and ask there.

Can I create different Coherence nodes in the same cluster with defferent?

Can I create different Coherence nodes in the same cluster with defferent cache-config.xml file ?
Can a cache be distributed in these deffirent nodes?

Yes. You can create different Coherence nodes in the same cluster with defferent cache-config.xml files as long as you use the same tangosol-coherence.xml file and the same tangosol-coherence-override.xml file. But you cannot store the cache data in the different nodes (started with different cache-config file). In other word, a node only create caches in their own's modes which are started with the same cache-config.xml file.
See the following demo:
I start a cache server using the cache config file examples-cache-server.xml. Then I start a storage-disabled cache console (cache client) using the cache config file coherence-cache-config.xml. Both of them using the same tangosol-coherence.xml file and the same tangosol-coherence-override.xml file.
The cache server uses a cache service PartitionedPofCache. But the client side is using the Distributedcache service. The cluster address is same 224.3.5.2.
The cluster name is also samme. They know each other.

Can we create DBI dashboards, reports, etc. in Arabic text?

Hi!
Can we create DBI dashboards, reports, etc. in Arabic text? If we can create forms in Arabic, does it mean we can also do the same in DBI?
Thanks.

You can make a form with 10 or more items (depends on the maximum number of the columns you have) and place them in a non base table block. Then you populate the block with a cursor and if you press a button you can populate the same block with another cursor making visible only the columns you need.
Hope it helps you,
Fabrizio

Hard code accounts using the dynamic report templates?

Anyone ever been able to hard code accounts using the dynamic report templates?
How about getting the Property name/value fields to work?

Hi,
No, this is not possible.
In Dynamic Report templates (which are not based on EVDRE function in version 7 and below), the only thing you can do is to not use any expansion at all and to list your specific accounts on the layout itself. Or to expand your accounts based on a dimension property.
In version 7.5, all Dynamic Templates for Report and Input Schedules will use EVDRE function.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Patrick

Can I create a dynamic cursor in a program unit on oracle form....

Hello folks,
can I create a dynamic cursor on client side ( in a program unit on the oracle form), is it possible, I Know how to create it on server side using Ref cursor, but on client side i got this message (can't be created on client side or something like that).... please if someone can help

> select count(*) from t_comsis
<p>But when you put that select string into a varchar2 variable, it won't compile. Which makes it hard to create anything "dynamic".
<p>In Forms, you can create and populate a record group dynamically, which is ok as long as your select will not retrieve too many (more than several hundred) rows.
<p>Or, your other option is to use the Forms Exec_SQL dynamic sql package.

How can i create a new item in the app "health"?

how can i create a new item in the app "health"? I need a field for documentation of "Waist-to-height ratio", exactly for "circumference".
It's a matter of common knowledge, that the Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) has more significance then the Body-Mass-Index (BMI).

If you mean you want to change a color of a calendar category or create a new one, you cannot do that, what is pre-loaded is what you get and cannot be edited.

I am brand new to the Ipad. I can't use ICloud unless I upgrade my 10.5 Leopard. Is there a way to sync documents created in Pages to the IPad without using ICloud?

Hello. I am a newbie to the Ipad. I am currently working with an OS 10.5 Leopard MAC. I understand that in order to use ICloud I would need to purchase OSX Snow Leopard and OSX Lion. I am attempting to avoid the expense and to the extent possible sync my IPad with my MAC. I have created documents on my MAC in pages. Is there a way to have access to those documents on the IPad without using ICloud.
A second question concerns web browsing, sometimes you'll open up a page or image and not know how to go back to the previous page. So do I just close and reopen safari altogether or is there another way to get to the previous page.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Actually you can use iCloud with the Mac running OS X 10.5.8. You don't sync the documents - you upload to or download them from iCloud.
You can open a browser on your Mac - Safari is preferred - log into icloud.com, enter your username and password, click on the iWorks icon, click on the Pages section at the top - and then you can drag documents into the browser window to upload files - and you can select a file in the cloud to download to the Mac. I do this on my iMac at work running Tiger 10.4.11. It's kind of slow - and you will get a warning that you may be using a supported browser - but it works.
In any event, you can use iOS file sharing to send the Pages docs to your iPad. you have to connect to the Mac and do this via iTunes.
iWork for iOS: About iTunes File Sharing
Just tap the arrows in the toolbar in Safari to go back and forth. You can open multiple pages using tabs. tap on the + sign to add another tab in Safari.
