Cannot access BO Enterprise items within Crystal Reports

Hello,
Having searched the forums and being unable to find the appropriate solution to my problem I have decided to ask the question myself.
I am using Crystal Reports version 11.0.0.895 and Business Objects Enterprise version 11.0.0.748. When using Crystal Reports I can log on to the Enterprise server as Administrator and view the enterprise items. I can easily browse through the list of reports but when I try to open one I get the following error:
u2018The report could not be opened from BusinessObjects Enterprise.
Possibly the report is on a different BusinessObjects Enterprise system that the one you are currently logged onto. If this problem persists, please contact your administrator.u2019
The other option available to me is u2018Manage Objectu2019 and this works just fine where I can view the history, schedule, etc.
I suspect I need to do something with the server itself but I am unable to determine what exactly is required. Please advise.
Regards,
Declan.

Hi Declan
For the folder on which the error is returned, please ensure that there is no rights problem with it.
In the report section, the "download files associated with the report" right should be set to "explicitly granted".
Thanks.

Using stored procedures within Crystal Reports

Hello all,
Background Information:
I am trying to teach myself how to execute a stored procedure within Crystal Reports. This is an aspect of Crystal that my work group has not utilized before and we're trying to gather information on the subject. We use Oracle to create and execute functions and procedures all the time, but I've never tried this within Crystal.
I use the "Add Command" functionality within Crystal on most of my reports so that I can taylor the sql to the report. I find this easier to do versus using the ODBC connection to the tables and writing the code through the Crystal Reports wizard. I also frequently use functions within these sql statements that are inserted in the Add Command.
What I'm trying to achieve:
I have a report that needs to run as a "trial", and then later as a committed "run". This is for a monthly billing system. Essentially, the user will run the report as the "trial", preview the data, make any necessay corrections, and then later, run the actual billing run. Within my application, the bills are not actually marked as "billed" until they are actually "billed', if that makes sense. As a result, the "trial" report will need to mark the bills as "billed", generate the report, and then rollback the data (so that the bills are not "billed". Once the actual billing reports are ran, the same report will run, but with a "commit" at the end of the report so that the bills are now "billed".
I'm trying simple tests and failing (i.e. taking baby steps to learn what capabilities Crystal has):
I created as simple of a procedure as I can envision. This procedure inserts the word "test" in one of my fields for a provided account number. When I try to run this procedure via Crystal (via New Report ->History->My ODBC Database link->Stored Procedures), Crystal asks for the account number parameter, as it should. But I then receive the error message:
Database Connector Error: '42000:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle]Syntax error or access violation'
The existing ODBC connection has work great for years and years to retrieve data from tables, but this is the first time I've tried to utilize procedures. Can anybody help? And can anybody explain what the Stored Procedures link is supposed to do? Am I going down the right path?
thanks,
Noel

Hello,
Make sure the Oracle client install path is in the PATH statement. And also make sure you are using an IN/OUT cursor. CR only reads the last SELECT statement. Search the Documents area on how to create a Stored Procedure.
Also, if you are using CR XI ( 11.0 ) then upgrade to CR XI R2 and apply all service packs ( SP 6 ). Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
It may fix your issue also.
Thanks again

3.Select Command(Which have SQL query)
Option 1:-
If you want to use Alternative code then use OALI table and make right or left join with this table.

Accessing trend line formula in Crystal Report

I am using Crystal Reports 8.5 and CR2008. I have a report showing a trend line (specifically the quadratic regression). I can show the formula that is being used for the report in the chart. How can I access the regression formula in Crystal Reports?
Thank you for your help.

hi James,
in short you can't...the charting engine is a separate 3rd party dll so what you see there is not necessarily available in the rest of cr in summaries etc.
in order to do things like this, you either have to do the calcs on your database or using formulas. i've attached an example of linear regression that i did a while ago. change the .txt extension to .rpt after you extract the contents. sorry, there are no instructions on how to do this.
on the attached sample though it does figure out the regression formula and also extrapolate data, show residuals etc. there are a couple of other "fits" in a parameter but i never finished those as it made my head hurt

Copying objects within Crystal Reports Server produces an error

When trying to copy an object from one folder to another within Crystal Reports Server XI R2, I encounter the following error:
There was an error while writing data back to the server: Two destination property bags exist. Use the bag that is appropriate for your client's version number: SI_DESTINATION (version XI and earlier) and SI_DESTINATIONS (version XI Release 2 and later).
I did have a copy of BOE XI installed however, this was removed prior to installing CRS XI R2
fyi - The 'Move' of objects works fine

Hi,
The issue you are facing is because there are still some registry entries left behind by XI. It is always recommended to do a clean install.
For now, you may > back up the registry > run regedit > search for traces specific to XI > delete the keys.
hope it helps.
Cheers,

HT5622 i cannot access my apple id within my iphone and ipad setting. not highlighted?

i cannot access my apple id within my iphone and ipad.i go to setting, then itunes and app store tab then my apple id seems to be greyed out.
to start i tryed to download a song from apple store and it is just pending saying waiting in the apple store download tab ????

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Cannot access to Enterprise Manager OBIEE 11.1.15

Hi All,
I have got a strange issue i.e. I cannot access to Enterprise Manager (http://hostname:7001/em), but can access to Console(http://hostname:7001/console) and Analytics (http://hostname:7001/analytics). I have restarted the BI Services but still the error continues.
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.Hope someone have the answer.

Hi,
A 404 error tells me that the resource (may be an application/page etc) is not available on the server. It might be that the resource is present but not working too. Since, you are not able to access the EM, I guess the EM application is not active in your server.
To resolve this, login to Admin Console, navigate to Deployments -> Look for EM named application and start it.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,

Business Objects Enterprise Licensing for Crystal Reports

I am new to Business Objects & Crystal Reports. I have recently been given the repsonsibility of supporting our BO XI R2 environment. This system is not in production yet, but initial use has shown an inability to create a crystal report.
If I select Crystal Reports Explorer in Business Objects Enterprise Applications, I get the following error:
"You do not have the correct keycode installed to use this option. Please contact your support office for further details."
I informed my boss who provided me with a "Crystal Reports Explorer Windows XI R2 License CPU English" keycode.
I entered this keycode in the License keys correctly. The license reflects "BusinessObjects Crystal Reports Explorer" but does not show any licenses - just dashes for named users, concurrent users, processors, expires...
I still get the same error when accessing the Crystal Reports Explorer.
Am I missing something here? Is there more that I need to do, or is there a problem with the keycode?

Please post this query to the Business Objects Enterprise Administration forum:
BI Platform
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there. Also, all BOE queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thank you for your understanding,
Ludek

Error while accessing oracle packaged procedure in crystal report./ How to

Hi,
When i tried to call a packaged procedure in crystal reports for .net, i am unable to access it.
i am getting error as 'unknown query engine'
In that packaged procedure i have a two IN parameters and one OUT TABLE parameter ( which is declared in package specification )
And when selecting the packaged procedure in crystal report,the wizard shows all the parameters like the IN parameters, and when i just leave it blank. i unable to set into report.
ie., the OUT table type is shown as IN paramters (Actually it is an output and has field fields in it.)
And No fields are coming in the Fields Explorer of crystal reports in .net.
can you provide any help.
thanks and regards

Actually the OUT Parameter type in the stored
procedure is showing as IN Parameters and asking
for input values in the crystal report creation
wizard(while selecting the
database,connection,storedprocedures/qualifiers).That sounds like a problem on the .net / crystal report creation wizard side of things. Oracle no doubt recognises them as OUT parameters, so it's not Oracle at fault. I would guess the .net stuff is just querying the data dictionary to see what parameters there are rather than differentiating between the INs and OUTs.

Mapping Access 2010 Query Expressions In Crystal Reports

Hello,
I am new to Crystal Reports.
When I change the datasource of a Crystal report to an Access 2010 query that has an expression in it, it is not able to map that calculated field. The expression in question is a simple iif statement that yields a yes or no, given the condition that's met. It works fine in Access and is very basic.
But I can't get it to map in Crystal - so I tested it by changing the expression in Access to defect:"x" - even simpler. It still shows up in Crystal as unmapped when I point to the query and hit the Crystal update button.
Can Crystal map expressions in an Access 2010 query, or does it just handle straight table fields that occur in a table or query?
Regards,
Dan

Hello Dan,
When pointing your report from one data source, to another one, the reason it does not initially map the field, it is because they are seen as defined with different data type. One is defined with 255 characters, and the other one is seen as a Memo. In the "Map Fields" window, uncheck the option "Match type", and you will then be able to map your expression field manually.
Note that the MS Access provider, send the information to Crystal Reports regarding the data type, and the fact it is different, it is because the provider used send different information to Crystal Reports, and if a field is defined with more than 255 characters, it will be seen as a memo field.
There is nothing that can be done in Crystal Reports to change the data type as it is provided by the database provider.
By design, it does not list a memo field as a database field you can group by, because large string generally contains a description, comments, ... and this type of information is generally always different, so there is no reason to group by those field with that data type.
Having said that, it is possible to group by a formula that contains the memo field to give the flexibility to bring back a portion of the characters that the memo field contains. To do so:
1. Create a formula that uses the memo field like:
{Database.MemoField}
2. Save and close the formula.
3. Under the menu "Insert", select "Group"
4. In the "Insert Group" window, select the formula created in the previous
steps to group by.
This information is available in the SAP Knowledge Base Article:
1214731 - Unable to group on a memo field in Crystal Reports
I hope the above information answered your questions.

Hyperlinks within Crystal Reports

Hello,
I am using Crystal Reports to create a statement. We would like to include hyperlinks in our report. We have already created hyperlinks within the report. The hyperlinks are only operational when I click within the subreport. I want to process my report to a PDF and have the hyperlinks work. Any Suggestions? I am currently working in Crystal 8.5 (we have 10 but our database is not matching up).

As an alternative, at least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Manager tools listed at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html can use visible or hidden (white font) formulas anywhere within a Crystal report (including inside subreports) to create file, web, or email links at that same location within the pdf export of the report. Optionally, an image (such as a .png button image can be added to provide a GUI for the link.

Cannot "SAVE" or "SAVE AS" a crystal report for version 9 or 2008.

I have a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Aspire laptop.
I can design and modify reports in Crystal Reports v9 or Crystal Reports 2008. When I try to SAVE the report (or "SAVE AS") nothing happens. No reports can be saved or saved to a different name.
Can anyone tell me how to fix the SAVE function in Crystal?
Thank you.

Hello,
Crystal 9 doesn't support that OS and CR 2008 requires Service Pack 2.
It's likely a permission issue, check your application event logs or anti-virus software logs or run ProcessMonitor from Microsoft and see it it logs the access denied errors.
May be DEP related also, search here and you'll find more info on how to disable it for testing.
Thank you
