Can we edit the output file of Crystal?

Hi,
We need to create a crystal report but the user wants to have some fields in the output .rpt file to be editable. Can we really do it? if yes, how to do it?
Thanks!

Girish,
Thanks for your reply! We are not going to edit the field name. We are looking to edit the field value. For example, in the output file, we have 100 different trading records and each of them will have different commission. The users hope they can edit the value of the commission for each record. I have tried with Crystal and it seems that I can edit the field but all records will have same value for the column. Do you know if we can edit the value of commission for each record?
Thanks!

Can I edit the rpt file & change the datasource before loading the report?

We are an ISV and our application has a lot of reports. Our reports use a SQL Server database as the data source and each SQL Server at our customer sites has a different name.
In our testing we have determined that ReportDocument.Load tries to connect to the SQL Server that is saved in the RPT. If it can't fine the SQL Server saved in the RPT the load take about 60 seconds while it is waiting for the SQL Server Connection to time out.
We are using the Visual Studio 2008 version of Crystal Reports. This did not seem to be a problem with VB6/CR8.5.
We would like to edit the RPT and change the data source to the appropriate SQL Server before we call ReportDocument.Load.
Is it possible to edit the rpt file and change the data source before loading the report?
Or is there some way to tell Crystal not to try connecting to the DB
during the report.load?
In our case we will NEVER use the data source that is saved in the RPT, we will always change the data source using ApplyLogOnInfo.
Thanks

HI Todd,
You Can Not edit the report document before ReportDocument.Load() because if you dont load the report then you dont have anything to Edit
But as far as changing the datasource is concerned you can change that at runtime.
For changing the datasource following code will help you if both databases have a same schema :
Code for changing the database
ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
crConnectionInfo.ServerName = "SERVER";
crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "DATABASE";
crConnectionInfo.UserID = "USERID";
crConnectionInfo.Password = "PASSWORD";
// Loop through the ReportObjects in a report and find all the subreports
foreach(ReportObject crReportObject in crReportDocument.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects)
     // Check the kind of the ReportObject, if it is a subreport
     // proceed. If not skip.
     if(crReportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
          // Get the SubReport in the form of a ReportDocument
          string sSubreportName = ((SubreportObject)crReportObject).SubreportName;
          ReportDocument crSubReportDocument = crReportDocument.OpenSubreport(sSubreportName);
          // Use a loop to go through all the tables in the main report
          foreach(Table crTable in crSubReportDocument.Database.Tables)
// Get the TableLogOnInfo from the Table and then set the new
// ConnectionInfo values.
TableLogOnInfo crLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo;
crLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
// Apply the TableLogOnInfo
crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crLogOnInfo);
// Set the location of the database. This value will vary from database to
// database.
crTable.Location = "DATABASE.OWNER.TABLENAME" or crTable.Locations;
The sample for doing this is available on support site.
Thanks,
Prasad

I can´t edit the text files with SAP BODS 3.2

Hello
I can not edit some text files 9-20 megabytes to replace two words in each file, the source is a text file and the same destination but with different name, because with the same name have been unable . My idea is to remove the original and stay with the new performing edition but that if he does , let me file this way:
SALES_ORDERS_FULL_20140223_150051_006.xml ( ORIGINAL )
should leave it with me so : SALES_ORDERS_FULL_20140223_150051_006.xml _OLD (AMENDED )
but strangely leaves me so :
MICROSOFT_SQL_SERVER_KCC-BI_REPO_KHSA_XI_REPO_KHSA_XI_1543_5434_2_3_Long_INVOICES_INCREMENTAL_20140225_034004_001_xml_dat.txt (not deseased)
The type of data you use is long since varchar not allow me because it cuts my data file , use varchar (50000000) but takes the information and short .
I am using long data type , modify the file and I pass the name of the text files of sap bods for global variables. They are a series of files that are called by a while loop
Thanks for your answers
regards

HIr
Yes, first I convert long_to_varchar for edit, and convert varchar_to_long.
I edit before before and later
Thanks

Can I edit the system file Manifest.XML in Word for Windows? (there's a reason for doing this)

I renamed a file directory containing several PDFs. Consequently, Adobe Digital Editions says these files are missing when I try to open them and look at notes I made. There seems to be an obvious solution, but I'm unfamiliar with XML and don't want to screw things up. The file locations and a lot of other information for Digital Editions is in an XML file called Manifest. If I can edit the XML file to show the correct directory, I expect I'd be able to see these files and recover my notes. I'm unsure what Word for Windows may do (e.g., add or delete characters) when I edit and save the new Manifest. That might corrupt the Manifest and be extremely counterproductive.
Is editing the file locations in Word for Windows safe, so long as Digital Editions isn't open when I do my editing?

I can confirm that Notepad++ can happily edit manifest.xml files, but as Jim_Lester says, make a backup (especially if you are not used to XML).
You may well find that if you Open the .epub files from their new location explicitly from ADE (ctrl-O) that you will both be able to read documents and see the notes.
I can't vouch for that; but if it works I'd recommend it over editing the manifest file.

How can I edit the rules file?

How can I develop my program which can access rules file?I know that Hyperion didn't provide APIs to set properties of rules files.

There is not way to edit the contents of a rules file (short of trying to reverse-engineer the file format for a load rule and write the file out yourself).What is it you are trying to do? While it would be nice to be able to use an API to create a rules file, most of the the things you use a load rule for do not require the ability to change them programatically.Regards,Jade----------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

Can you edit the HOSTS file on an iphone?

Is there a way to edit the iPhone equivalent of an /etc/hosts file? This is necessary to access some internal test/dev resources on our network. Jailbreaking is NOT an option. Creating and installing configuration profiles via the iPhone Configuration Utility would be allowable.

Why? There's no way they are going to pay a licensing fee for something like that.

How can I edit an html file in Firefox using View Source?

I have created an html webpage and saved it to my pc. I can't edit the html file in firefox when I right click on the page and select "View Source". I can view the code but I can't edit it. I can do this in IE9.
I thought I was able to do this before in Firefox.
Did my settings change somewhere that I can no longer do this?
Do I have to have something checked in the Web Developer extensions for it to work?
I'm using Firefox 24.0
Thank you for any help with this. :)

The View Source window in Firefox cannot be used to change computer codes. Nor can the Web Developer tools.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
I suggest using Programmer's Notepad.

Java application export output file of Crystal Report in .TXT format

Hi,
I have a Java application which is able to export the output file of Crystal Report in PDF format. But I'm trying to change the export file to .TXT format. Is this possible? I'm using Crystal Report XI. Is there any available updates or fixes to solve this? Please advice.
Thank you

I've tried, but I have an error
frm-40735: when button-pressed trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06502
ORA-06502 when I try write a text field to the file the text field in question is a date.
Did a similar problem ever occured to you?

How/where can you change the delimiters within the output file -Urgent Pls!

Hello Experts,
When Exporting data through EAS, how/where can you change the delimiters within the output file (ie. space delimited vs tab delimited vs custom)
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sonu

This is where I will be shot down in flames but at least in 7.x I am unaware of any configuration option that allows you to export in anything other than space delimited.
I guess you could write a shell/perl script that could change this outside of Essbase

How can I edit the audio in a QT file without having to transcode it first?

I have some 320x256 QT files that feature some background noises that I want to edit out and dub over with some new audio. Is there an app that will let me do this while retaining the files at their native resolution?
The only method I've found so far is to import them into iMovie, which transcodes them to 720x576 DV files from which I can extract the audio, edit and re-export at 320x256, but I'd really like to avoid the transcoding step.

QuickTime Pro can "extract" the sound track. This will create a copy you can then "export" to a suitable sound editing format (.aiff).
Edit the .aiff file using your sound editing software and then open the file with QT Pro and export to the original format used in the source movie. Add it "scaled" back into your original source movie and "delete" the older sound track. Use "Save As" and your file will complete.

Found Audacity for my background noise. Can I edit my audio files in the FCPX event folder in Finder?

I think I found the solution to my background noise problem using Audacity.
But can I edit my audio files that are in FCPX Event folder in Finder? Or do I actually have to edit my project all over again to put in new audio (edited by Audacity)?

No, copying the whole Project and Event is just too much of a waste of time.
Do this, in the Browser, select the audio file you need to take to Audacity. Export it as a Master File, and in the Settings section of the Share window, set Format to Audio Only. Set Audio File Format to AIFF. Set Open With to "Other" and select Audacity. Then pick your Desktop as the location to save the file.
In Audacity, do whatever it is you want and save it.
Back in FCP X, import the new "fixed" file, be sure to check the box to copy it to your Event folder.
Finally, if necessary, do a Replace edit with the new version to the old one if it has already be edited into a Timeline.

How can I edit the file name of the home page?

How can I edit the file name of the home page?
Gr Ammani

I have a similar issue with regards to the filename...
When I navigate to my website, it doesnt work unless I actually type the filename at the end of it. Example: type in "www.whitelion.com" (this is my real domain name) and it doesnt work. When I type in "www.whitelion.com/index.html" then it works.
This is obviously inconvenient because my clients will never know to add the filename to the end of the site.
Is there any setting or way to get the page to appear by just typing the original domain name without adding the extension?
Thanks,
Emelia

Can't edit the file of sudoers

Hi guys,
i'm following the arch wiki's page for skype, and i must edit the sudoers file for give permissions to user skype but when i do:
sudo visudo
The editing of file start, but when i touch a key, nothing change. Obviously i can't save or exit.. when i do ctrl c, the damn fall in EOF loop that force me to close the terminal directly.
Any idead?
Thanks, Gabriele.

Yeah, by default it opens in a text editor called vi. If you want to use it with nano, you can add "Defaults editor=/usr/bin/nano" to the very fist line and re-login. Then you can just run:
$ sudo visudo
Instead of:
$ sudo EDITOR=nano visudo
For example:
Defaults editor=/usr/bin/nano
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
dspider ALL=(ALL) ALL
dspider ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/mount, /bin/umount
dspider arch=NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot, /sbin/poweroff

I am using CS3 and want to save a file as a pdf where someone can then edit the text. How can I do this please? Thank you :)

I am using CS3 and want to save a file as a pdf where someone can then edit the text. How can I do this please? Thank you

You might be able to use the newest adobe reader program/application for that.
You would have to save your pdf out of photoshop cs3 without any text and then add the text to the pdf in adobe reader.
The text added in adobe reader can't be edited in photoshop, so the other people would have to adobe reader or acrobat to edit the text.
