Cannot refresh a stored procedure within a Crystal Report from Xcelsius

Please help...Xcelsius 2008 & Live Office problem...
What I am trying to do is to refresh a stored procedure that is within a Crystal report from within my Xcelsius dashboard in Preview mode. The data returned appears on the Xcelsius dashboard. It works fine in Design mode, just not in Preview or when published as a swf.
1. I set up a Crystal Report using a Stored Procedure as the data provider.
2. The Stored Procedure has a parameter built into it.
3. When the report is refreshed within Crystal, the prompt dialog box is displayed; I fill in the desired value, and run. Everything comes back fine.
4. Crystal Report is exported to the repository.
5. In Excel, I inserted the Crystal Report using Live Office. It shows up as a Live Office object just fine.
6. I bound an Excel cell to the prompt; when you change the value in the bound cell, the Live Office object refreshes and displays the correct results.
7. In Xcelsius, I imported the Excel spreadsheet.
8. I set up a Text component that is bound to the cell containing the parameter value. Also set up a Grid to display the results, and a Connection Refresh button to call the refresh. Added a Live Office Data Connection pointing to the Web Service URL for the report.
Note: When in Designer mode, if the value of the bound cell is changed, the results in the grid change accordingly.
9. When in Preview mode (or generated swf), if the Refresh button is pressed, a "User Identification" dialog box appears asking me to log on. The values it asks for are: System, User Name, Password, and Authentication. I enter the same credentials as are within the Live Office settings in Excel, (which are working correctly), but receive an error "soapenv:Server.generalException: Database logon failed.".
Note - all the id's are synced up - Business Objects, Database, etc.
I've tried all kinds of combinations, but nothing gets me past this error. If I use any other server than the one listed under System in Live Office, the error message is "soapenv:Server.generalException: Server XXXXX not found or server may be down".
I've noticed that in Excel directly, when I open the spreadsheet and refresh the Live Office object, I am prompted to log on to the database where the stored procedure is being executed. This dialog box does not appear once the Excel sheet has been imported into Xcelsius. One of the combinations I tried in the "User Identification" dialog box was the name of the database server, that didn't work either.
I also tried creating the Live Office object directly within the Excel spreadsheet in Xcelsius, but then I was unable to bind the prompt value. Could never get the Live Office/Properties menu to appear.
Ideas? Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
Stephanie

A problem when referring to a stored procedure in a crystal report

Hi all,
I've checked that when calling one stored-procedure within a crystal report, one sequence will be selected for 2 times. Thus 2 will be added to the corr. sequence No. And I've also directly ran such procedure in 'SQL/Plus' that follows, to make sure that actually the corr. sequence will be referenced by only once.
SQL> execute p_rpT_FCL_col (:te, 'ZIMU00000537SJU',:GRP)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> print :te
TE
17
SQL> execute p_rpT_FCL_col (:te2, 'ZIMU00000537SJU',:GRP)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> print :te2
TE2
18
Bst Rgds,
Edward

Well, can you please post the details about your stored proc?
<quote> I've checked that when calling one stored-procedure within a crystal report, one sequence will be selected for 2 times. Thus 2 will be added to the corr. sequence No.</quote>
Question: What do you mean by that? How many times did you run the report?
More details please.

Requirements of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedures to Develop Crystal Report

Hi All,
I want to learn how to create crystal report off of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedure. So anybody please let me know from where I can download the documentation on "Requirements of SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedures for crystal report.
I am using Crystal Report XI. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Hello,
When CR uses Stored Porcedures we only look at the last SELECT statement. We can't use TMP tables because they are owned by the system and not the user. Even though you created them under your logon credentials you are not the actual owner. Or so I have found so far.... CR does not have permissions to get to those temp tables. If you can find out dynamically what the table names are called then it may work. I don't have a sample but it has the usual table info with a random GUID or temp name, really long, and changes every time.
What should work is create a real table, not one of MS's tempTables and then push all your data to that table and then the last select statement returns all of your data from that temp table:
SELECT * FROM MYTEMPTABLE.DBO.TABLE.
Then CR should ahve no issues.
It may be that the JDBC driver has problems. Test it using OLE DB or ODBC.
Thanks again

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

Calling a stored procedure within a package

We have a number of packages containing stored procedures. In an existing production application, we used embedded SQL in C programs to call these stored procs
e.g.
EXEC SQL EXECUTE
BEGIN owner.fees_calc.some_fee(:parm1,...);
END;
END-EXEC;
Now, I am trying to use SQLJ to call this same stored proc in the package. However, I am getting a compilation error from sqlj saying that it cannot find a stored procedure or function of that name. It works fine if I use a stored proc that is not in a package.
So how do I call a stored procedure within a package? Or is this not currently possible with sqlj?
I am also getting a warning just before the error and I'm wondering if the error is being caused by this:
Warning: You are using an Oracle JDBC driver, but connecting to a non-Oracle database. SQLJ will perform JDBC-generic SQL checking.
I am connecting to an Oracle 7.3.3 database using an Oracle 7.3.4 JDBC driver. I also tried using the Oracle 8.0.5 JDBC driver for the same database but I get the same warning message.

I used the following code to call a stored
procedure via SQLJ:
try {
#sql [iCtx] {
CALL ibs.cvs_validate.validate_port_id(:IN record_id ,:IN poe_pod_flag,:IN port_id,:OUT error_code,:OUT error_message) };
where
"ibs" is the schema
"cvs_validate" is the package
"validate_port_id" is the procedure
The code runs fine, but to get it to compile
in JDeveloper 2.0, I had to disable the "Check SQL semantics against database schema" option on the Project Properties (SQLJ) property sheet.

Actuate 7 PL/SQL Stored Procedure Call Before the Report Run.

Hi,
I need a small help to call a pl sql stored procedure in actuate 7.
I wrote a code a on component content
Function runProc(procName as String, connection As AcDBConnection )
' Insert your code here
Dim statement As AcDBStatement
Dim results as string
' Prepare statement
Set statement = connection.Prepare("BEGIN " & procName & "; END;" )
If statement Is Nothing Then
results = "Failed to prepare statement."
results = results & " " & connection.GetSpecificErrorText( )
results = results & " " & connection.GetGeneralErrorText( )
Exit sub
End If
' Execute sprocoutparam
If statement.Execute() = 0 Then
results = "Stored procedure " & procName & "execution failed."
results = results & " " & connection.GetSpecificErrorText( )
results = results & " " & connection.GetGeneralErrorText( )
Else
results = "Stored procedure " & procName & " execution success."
End if
ShowFactoryStatus(results)
End FunctionNow this Code I am calling on the Chart Start Method
Sub Start( )
    Super::Start( )
    ' Insert your code here
    Dim ProcName as String
    Dim connectionObject As AcDBConnection
    ProcName="DELETECUSTOMER(1234)"
    runProc(ProcName, connectionObject )
End SubNow when i Run the Report i get this Error !
NewReportApp::Frame::Chart%Start(9): Invalid procedure reference. - (runProc)
1 Semantic Error(s) found
Thanks,
Asif

hi,
Finally Figured Out Here....
Steps to Call the Stored Procedure In Actuate 7
1 – Right Click on Content – Frame and go to properties and method Tab.
     1 – Click on New Button to you create own custom method.
     2 – Write the following code :
Sub runProc(procName as String, connection As AcDBConnection )
     Dim statement As AcDBStatement
     Dim results as string
     Set connection = GetConnection()
     'Prepare statement
     Set statement = connection.Prepare("BEGIN " & procName & "; END;" )
          If statement Is Nothing Then
               results = "Failed to prepare statement."
               results = results & " " & connection.GetSpecificErrorText( )
               results = results & " " & connection.GetGeneralErrorText( )
               MsgBox "Procedure Not Called....Badddddd"
               Exit sub
          End If
     ' Execute sprocoutparam
          If statement.Execute() = 0 Then
               results = "Stored procedure " & procName & "execution failed."
               results = results & " " & connection.GetSpecificErrorText( )
               results = results & " " & connection.GetGeneralErrorText( )
               MsgBox "Procedure Not Called....Badddddd" & results
          Else
               results = "Stored procedure " & procName & " execution success."
               MsgBox "Procedure Called....Wowwww"
          End if
          ShowFactoryStatus(results)
End Sub2 – Now let call the stored procedure before our actual report query runs.
     1 - Right Click on Content – Frame and go to properties and method Tab.
     2 - Select the Start Method and Click on Override button.
     3 - Write the following code:
Sub Start( )
     Dim ProcName as String
     Dim connectionObject As AcDBConnection
     Set connectionObject = GetConnection()
     ProcName="XXTEST ()"
     runProc( ProcName, connectionObject )
    Super::Start ( )
End Sub3 – Now design your report as usual using the Textual Query window.

Database error when trying to view Crystal Report from InfoView

I am receiving the following error when I try to view or run a Crystal Report from the InfoView. The report is based on an SAP InfoSet.
"Failed to load database information."
The report data can be refreshed with no trouble from within the Crystal Reports designer on my local machine, but the error occurs after it is published to the InfoView. The same error appears when trying to import into Excel using LiveOffice.
Server details:
-Edge 3.1
-Windows 2003 64-bit
-SAP Integration kit installed
Local Crystal Reports machine details:
-Windows XP
-SAP Integration kit installed
-Crystal Reports 2008
My steps to troubleshoot so far:
-Checked Database Logon details in CMC for the report. Username and password are entered correctly.
-Cycled all CrystalReports background services off and on again from the CMC
-Rebooted server
Have I missed anything? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
do you have any connectivity from your EDGE to the SAP System ? Like can you import roles or run a WebI ?

Can't view Crystal Reports from BW

Hi,
I'm installing SAP Integration Kit XI 3.1 SP3 with IIS. I am able to publish reports from BW to BOE but not able view them from BW. I followed the documentation to use report/report_view.aspx to define the viewer application in Content Administration Workbench. But it is giving me a "The page cannot be found" error when I try to view Crystal Reports from BW. I tried looking for the file report/report.aspx but cannot find it. I was able to locate the file in SAP_CrystalReport_View/report_view.aspx. I repointed the system to this path but it still giving me the same error.
Anybody here encountered this before?
Thanks,
Elijah

Hi Ingo,
- has the report being saved to BW and then published to BusinessObjects enterprise ?
    Yes, the report is being published from BW to BOE successfully.
- did you import the ABAP Transports to the BW system ?
    I imported all the transports that came with the Integration Kit. I'm not sure if the ABAP transport is one of them.
- has the viewing service in transaction SICF been configured ?
    Yes, the top entry in the handler list is /CRYSTAL/CL_BW_HTTP_HANDLER.
I did notice that the BW system is on a different subdomain than the web application server. For example,
   BW system        - bw01.us.mydomain.com
   BOE web server -   boweb.mydomain.com
Would that affect the single sign on?

Duplicate Object Name Error When Publishing Crystal Reports from BW to BOE

Hi,
We recently upgraded our systems (all client and server) to SP2.7 in order to solve a problem with saving Crystal Reports to BW. Now we are experiencing a new error when trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE (either all in one step from Crystal Reports application or directly from within BW).
Upon trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE, we get the following error:
"An error occurred while saving and / or publishing. The return code 1 was returned from the server. Logon to Crystal Enterprise failed. Unable to commit the changes to Enterprise. Reason: Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder."
We have repeated this issue numerous time with different reports, users and logon credentials and have verified that there are NOT any duplicate object names.
Additionally, in some cases, the report ultimately publishes to BOE, but with the above error interruption along the way.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Josh

Ingo,
Apologies for the delayed response. We've spent a few days poking around with this issue, and had even opened a customer message for it (13641).
In the end, it seems that the problem was somehow associated with the "Prepare this report for translation." flag in the "Save to BW Options" dialog box of Crystal Reports. If we try to Save & Publish with the Translation flag selected, we get the duplicate entry error. If we Save & Publish without the Translation flag selected, everything is fine.
There are still some details we need to look into, but for the time being it looks like we don't have an issue anymore(assuming we ever did) as we're not concerned with Translation capabilities.
If we come across the problem again, I'll post again.
Thanks,
Josh

Hi,
1) Open the Crystal report with XML datasource connectivity in the Crystal Report designer.
2) Click on File ->Report Options.
3) Uncheck the Verify On First Refresh box.
4) Save the Crystal report.
5) Open this Crystal report in Crystal Report for Eclipse designer and try Executing it again.
Please let me know the results.
Thanks,

Printing Problem in Crystal Report From JSP

Hi,
I m calling crystal report from JSP.Report is parameterized.I m passing parameters from JSP.Report is displaying on the page,but when I try to print or export the report by pressing Print or export Button ,it displays an error message "Some parameters are missing values".
Please guide my,what should I do? Following is the code.
Good Bye
AQ
Vector fieldVector = new Vector();
SPParameters spParams = new SPParameters();
ReportFactory     reportFactory = new ReportFactory();
// Setteing the report Name (Path Appended)
reportFactory.setReportName(ReportsCoreDataConstants.REPORT_PATH.concat("Test_Rep2.rpt"));
//Setting the parameters for the report
ParameterField paramFeilds = null;
System.out.println("fiscalYearCode:"+fiscalYearCode);
paramFeilds = spParams.createParams("IPFISCALCODE",fiscalYearCode);
paramFeilds.setReportName("");
fieldVector.add(paramFeilds);
//Creating the ReportSourceInstance
reportFactory.setFields(fieldVector);
String exp = "";
try {
     ReportFactory l_reportFactory=null;
     l_reportFactory = reportFactory;
     if (l_reportFactory != null) {
     CrystalReportViewer viewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
     viewer.setParameterFields(l_reportFactory.getFields());
     viewer.setOwnPage(true);
     viewer.setDisplayGroupTree(false);
     viewer.setHasZoomFactorList(false);
     viewer.setHasLogo(false);
     viewer.setHasPrintButton(true);
     viewer.setHasRefreshButton(true);
     viewer.setHasToggleGroupTreeButton(false);
     viewer.setHasViewList(false);
     viewer.setPrintMode(CrPrintMode.ACTIVEX);
     viewer.setSeparatePages(true);
     viewer.setEnableParameterPrompt(false);
     viewer.setReuseParameterValuesOnRefresh(true);
     viewer.setReportSource(l_reportFactory.createReport( request.getLocale() ));
     viewer.refresh();
     viewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(),out);
     viewer.dispose();
} catch(Exception e) {
     exp = e.toString();
     System.out.println("Exception in JSP : " + e.toString());
     e.printStackTrace();
}

I think ScreenRaghu is right. If you look at the generated source, your jsp becomes an action and processHttpRequest() method is invoked everytime some action happens. So when you click the export button, request object no longer has the values your report needs. Either put the values in session or via link or db or whatelse.

Crystal reports from command line

Post Author: DrewJ
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I need to run Crystal reports from the command line.
Does anyone know how to pass parameter arguments when launching the application?
I have tried cr32w.exe c:\reports\report.rpt arg="099909"
(which launches the right report, but does not pass in the arg)
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance,
Drew Johnston

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. The application would not be on the same server as the machine. So if I used the command that you gave me would that actually run the report (ie refresh the data and then save the report ,as instructed in the settings, on to the network location). Or would it just open up the report. Also, how would I send parameters to the report, eg Dates or Status.
This is the scenario. At the moment a user would input data on to database via an external applicaion. After inputting all the data, they would then have to log into Crystal Infoview. Navigate to the report. They would then click on the Schedule hyperlink. They would change the parameters eg Start Date and End Date. And then press the Schedule button. The report would then refresh the data, and as specified in the Destination, it would write out to a network location.
So we want the external app to write a command line prompt, so that the user did not have to log onto Crystal at all. The application would send the relevant parameters and run the crystal report automatically without the user having to log into Crystal at all.

Prakash

Calling a Crystal Report from and Oracle Form6i

I am attempting to call a crystal report from within an oracl form. I would appreciate documentation/suggestions on how to accomplish this task.
Thanks
NBranson

HI Nicole,
I have used crystal reports from oracle forms in one of my project. Send a mail to this address, i ll reply you back with the source code. My email address is [email protected] .
But if you just want to know the steps here it is :
STEPS TO display the Crystal Report in Oracle Forms :
1. Create a new form.
2. Create a control block, name it 'CONTROL'.
3. Create a CONTENT canvas, name it 'REPCAN'.
4. Create an ActiveX control on the canvas, name it 'CrystalReport1'.
5. Create a Image item , name it 'REP'. Make sure that image item overlaps the ActiveX control completely, this image item is used to get the item handle. Enlarge this object such a way that it will fit the window, the report gets displayed in this item so the item size should be adeqately large.
6. Right click on the ActiveX control item, select Insert Object from the menu.
7. From the list select Crystal Reprot Control.
8. Select the Progrm=> Import OLE Library Interface Menu in the form.
9. Select Crystal.CrystalReport from the List, this will list two methods and one Event . The two methods are CrystalCtrl and IRowCursor, the event is CrystalReprotEvent.
10. Select all the three and click on the OK button to accept. This will create the program units.
11. In the When-New-Form-Instance trigger of the form write the following code.
Declare
     charWinHandle varchar2(50);
     numWinHandle Number;
Begin
     Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'BUSY');
     charWinHandle := Get_Item_Property('Control.Rep',Window_Handle);
     numWinHandle := To_Number(charWinHandle);
     :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.CrystalReport.WindowParentHandle := numWinHandle;
     :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.CrystalReport.WindowState := 2;
     :item('CONTROL.CRYSTALREPORT1').OCX.Crystal.CrystalReport.Connect := 'DSN=;UID='||Get_Application_Property(UserName)||';pwd='||Get_Application_Property(password)||';dsq=;';
     Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName (:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface,'C:\Sample_Rep.Rpt');
     Set_Window_Property(Forms_Mdi_Window,Window_State,Maximize);
     Set_Window_Property('MAIN',Window_State,Maximize);
     :reptitle := 'Report Preview Window';
     numWinHandle := Crystal_CrystalCtrl.PrintReport(:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface);

One thing to mark here is the, change the report name and path according to your required file name and path in
Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName (:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface,'C:\Sample_Rep.Rpt');
12. If you want to run multiple reports then create a parameter and pass the file name to the form through the parameter. In the above line of code, you can replace the file name with parameter, so each time the form is called with different parameter with the file name , it displays different reports.
13 Run the Form.

Run Crystal Report From Forms

Dear all,
Can i run a crystal report from forms10g ? if i yes then how can i do it
Thanks in advance

I have to be honest I don't know much about crystal reports.
In addition to the suggestion of Francois, if you can access/run it via a URL you could use the web.show_document procedure with the url containing all your required parameters, which is similar to some of the method available to run oracle reports.
eg. web.show_document(http://ServerNameDetails?parameter1=1&parameter2=hello,'_blank');

How do I open a Crystal Report from Microsoft Access?

I'm looking for step-by-step instructions on how to launch a Crystal Report from a Microsoft Access application (for a dummy like me).
My Crystal Report uses a connection to the Access database as the data.
I have Microsoft Access 2002 with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.5.
I have Crystal Reports 2008 CR Developer 12.
I'll need to know where to find the Visual Basic code references, and/or ActiveX Controls, if applicable.
Thanks
Janeen

I concur with Don. Just a bit of help - a sample VBA app is here;
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006013432008E/rdc_vba.exe
But as Don mentioned, you will have to downgrade to CR XI r2 (or lower) to implement the above solution.
