Can I use a report item as a parameter in an html link.

I have a report (build using the Query Wizard) that selects and
shows data from a database on a seperate system (via a database
link). The first column of the report gives an ID Number that I
want to use as part of an html link to display the full details
of the item.
So if the item on the report has a value of 123456 I want my
html link to create a url of http://system/plsql/show_details?
thingid=123456
Any ideas?

We are using dynamic pages to accomplish that goal. The links
actually go to items/folders within portal, but it would be the
same thing.
I have found using the combination of links and reporting tools
to be very limited on the site when it comes to trying to create
links to things other than forms or other reports. That is
probably 90% ignorance on my part, but I have not been able to
accomplish this in any way other than a dynamic page.
Any suggestions on building a dynamic link within a portal
created report to a portal page/item would be appreciated.
I have also tried to concatenate in a <a href> tag in a SQL
Query based report, but generally errors. We have also created
a view that creats the link for us, that could be another option
for you, if the link is static.
Good Luck and hope my ramblings make sense.

Can we use Crystal Reports 2008 Designer to directly reports on SAP R\3 data without any additional Integration Kit for SAP?
I believe the Integartion Kit is only for reporting on SAP BW data.
Thanks in advance for your response and any additinal details you can provide.
Thanks,

Do you know if Assessment Filter fields can be use for reports?

Do you know if Assessment Filter fields can be use for reports?
I have an Assessment filter field in contacts that it use to capture relavant information for the contact. Because I thought we could use it as another picklist. But when I am creating a report I can find it in the list of fields available for the report.
Thank you very much

Hi thank you for the answer but a have another point.
I am not using asssessment as an object, I am just using the field "assessment filter 3" that is one's of the default field for contacts that you have for customize the application. So I thought it will be show in the list of fields for the reports (Going to Reports -> Design Analysis -> under reporting choosing "Contacts") and I can't see this field, when I'm looking in "Contact Fields".

How can I use a report as a filter that accepts a prompt value in R18?

In R17 the following setup worked properly. 1) have a main report that uses another report as a filter report. 2) In the filter report, add a criteria statement which is prompted. 3) pass an argument from a web link or embedded web applet on the report URL using the field reference from the filter report criteria prompt. However, in R18 this no longer works. The filter report does not bring back a set of id's that is used for filtering the main report. The main report just displays all records as if there is no filter criteria supplied. Has anyone else encountered this behavior in R18?

I'm trying to figure out how I can use a simple class
I have written with methods and properties in Sutdio
Creator.
I have been looking around, but I've only found how
to use an EJB directly from Creator. We would like to
use a bean that handles all the connections to the
app server and only returns the result to the JSP.
I know there has to be a way to do this, if anybody
has any ideas please help!I'm not sure I follow 100%, but you can use POJOs via Spring integration. Do a search on this forum for Spring and you should find a tutorial I wrote on it a while back.

Can You Use A Report Field Value In A Hyperlink?

I have a report field that I would like to be a link to another application. Making a report field a hyperlink to a web page was nice and simple. However, I was expecting to be able to use the value of the field in the hyperlink something like...<a href="http://mywebsite/controller?action=servlets.ReportAlertDetailListAction&key={AlertSearch.ALERT_KEY">http://mywebsite/controller?action=servlets.ReportAlertDetailListAction&key={AlertSearch.ALERT_KEY</a>}...where AlertSearch is the table name and ALERT_KEY is the field name. Is there a way to use a report field in a hyperlink? Would using a formula allow it to be dynamic? The goal is to have each row of the report link to a URL with a different parameter. I can see eventually redoing it as a drill down feature but the detail I need already exists in a separate application.Thanks,Ed

Hi Ed.
I believe the conditional formula that you would use (don't just type in the text box - press the button for the formula first).
"[http://mywebsite/controller?action=servlets.ReportAlertDetailListAction&key | http://mywebsite/controller?action=servlets.ReportAlertDetailListAction&key]=" + {AlertSearch.ALERT_KEY}
The key is toÂ use the conditional formula feature of the hyperlinkÂ feature.Â
Enjoy!Â

How can I use the report CRMC_ORGMAN_SWITCH_TO_ENH_MODEL

Dear all,
I want to change the CRM organization from stardard version to enhanced version.Acoording to the help document, we must using the report CRMC_ORGMAN_SWITCH_TO_ENH_MODEL.But neither this transaction code nor this program in CRM system.Do you have any suggestion, Thank you very much.
The help document is "http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/32/4473211b7778428efebc865e351cb4/content.htm"

Hi
Please check if you do have the authorization for transaction
CRMC_SWITCH_ORGMODEL.
Transaction CRMC_SWITCH_ORGMODEL switches the organizational
structure being used in CRM to a new model. This process is irreversible
and therefore an accidental execution of the transaction should be
avoided. This may be the reason why you can not execute the report.
For further details review note 0635401 and the check if following notes
are valid for you.
650001,635339,635182
Hope it can help you.

Can not use crystal reports 2008

Hi All
I m not able to use crystal reports on windows server. I can use it everyehere bt not on the server i dnt know if the problem is bcoz it's a 64bit machine or not.
We are using .Net application.
Thanks in advance.
Anita

Hi Anita
Crystal Reports 2008 doesnu2019t have 64 bit support or runtime hence you are getting the attached error.
To run the application with Crystal reports there are two workarounds:
1. Run the IIS under 32 bit mode so that your application will use 32 bit Crystal Reports runtimes.
For this please do the steps mentioned below:
1.When compiling the application in Visual Studio .NET 2008 you will need to force it to 32 bit mode.
You can do this by right-clicking the project name in the Solution Explorer.
2.For VB.NET
Click Compile, then Advanced Compile Options. For the Target CPU drop down box, change it from "AnyCPU" to "x86" then click OK.
3.For C#.NET
Click Build and change the Platform Target option from "Any CPU" to "x86".
Now follow the steps mentioned in the Kbase article from below link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435
You should then be able to run the application on a 64 bit OS without error.
The second workaround is
To change the references in your web application to CR 10.5 i.e. Crystal Reports basic for Visual Studio 2008. Crystal Reports 10.5 has the runtime for 64 bit machine.
For this:
1. Uninstall Crystal Reports 2008 from your machine.
2. Run the set up file for Visual Studio 2008 (from CD or the installation source that you use).
3. Click on Repair.
4. From the list of components select Crystal Reports 10.5 and click on Next.
5. After the repair is done you should be able to use the application using Crystal Reports.
Hope this helps!!
                                                                                Regards,

Can i use crystal reports standard to query ODBC datasources

Post Author: Andy Forrest
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Dear all,
I'm struggling to identify if i can use crystal reports standard to query ODBC data-sources, the only information i can find is the following :-
An intuitive solution that provides basic report design functionality off of PC-based data sources, Crystal Reports XI Standard Edition will provide you with access to data stored in personal data sources.
This gives the impression that i cant access any data other than local data, can anyone give me a definitive answer or point me to somewhere that explains in a little more detail. We are about to purchase some copies but need to ensure crystal reports standard can access ODBC data sources. We are replacing crystal reports 8 standard edition and need to ensure previous reports will still run.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Cheers
Andy

Well, you can certainly connect to ODBC with Crystal XI Developer. I'd be very surprised if you couldn't with the Standard version as well. Not the definitive answer you were looking for, I suppose.

Can you use Crystal Reports for Enterprise to connect to BOE4 over the web?

Hello,
When I use Crystal Reports for Enterprise in BI Launchpad when I am connected on the LAN network it works.
If I connect via the internet, it doesn't.
I wanted to know if Crystal Reports for Enterprise only works if you are connected to Business Enterprise 4.0 on a LAN network and if it's not designed to work remotely, aka via the internet connection, like you can with Webi?
regards
Janetta

Hello,
We installed BOE4 on the server, it runs perfectly, no issues.
Install Crystal Reports for Enterprise on a laptop. It's the latest one as I checked to see if there's any later versions or patches.
I am able to log into the BOE Enterprise system as administrator.
Namely I have setup the Server connections per the following:
Server Name: <IP address>
The check box for SSL is unchecked.
Server Port Number: nnnn
Server Context: /dswsbobje
System display name: <my server> External Connection
User Name : Administrator
It connects successfully.
I then go and create a report against a Universe that I can see listed on my BOE 4 server.
It then comes up with this error message:
"Unable to Logon: There is a problem logging on to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise.
Please check your logon credentials and make sure your nework is properly configured before trying again.
If problems persist please contact your Administrator."
Architecture:
BOE 4 sits on Windows 2008 Server SP2
Laptops tried it on are Windows Vista and Windows 2003 Std.
Thanks for looking into this for me.

Can I use Oracle Report Server to print from APEX? How?

Hello, we have Oracle Application server, Oracle Report server and now we just installed APEX and doing a pilot project. Since we don't have BI Publisher, how can we use our Oracle Report server to print from apex report? Can it be done and if yes where can I get some detail info that I can share with our DBA?
I have in past asked questions about the printing issues but I have been refered to http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html#01 section 5 which talks about another installation.
Thanks so very much for any info.
-iahmadi

You can use FOP, but the formatting of the xsl (Xml Style Sheets) takes a little work. If you have the Oracle Reports server up and access to the development product, why not go that route?
You want the filtering and sorting and searching, yes, but then you also want to print them out.. Then you would probably be best looking at replacing the Oracle Reports setup with BI Publisher. You can convert Most your reports over to bi publisher layouts easily.. (I have heard of some reports that do require recreating in Bi Publisher from Oracle Reports..)
Then you can have your Apex Reports and call Bi Publisher from APEX and everyone wins..
Is your Oracle Reports stuff used by non-APEX applications, that could be modified to use Bi Publisher?
Thank you,

How can I use Embeddable Report Designer Control

Hi, I found that there is an Embeddable Report Designer Control (CRAXDDRT) which end user could open and edit report runtime (rpt file)
would you please help me use this control in c#.net
I have Crystal report 2008
thank you

You can not use that in .NET and also there is no craxddrt in CR 2008 as there is no COM SDK for CR 2008.
Currently there is no .NET equivalent to that dll.
