CFReport 7.0.0 - 7.0.2

In an effort to automate a specific communication to
customers of a local bank we decided to use the Coldfusion Report
Builder with Flash Paper to develop a form letter with field
insertions. We developed and tested the form letter and its’
interface to the databases in our development environment which is
Coldfusion MX 7.0.2 running on Linux. Unit testing was success.
We then moved the application to our testing environment.
Testing immediately produced a letter with all insertion fields
misaligned. Our test environment is Coldfusion MX 7.0.0 running on
Linux. We then moved and tested the application to our DMZ test
server which is also Coldfusion 7.0.0 running on Linux and it had
identical alignment issues as the first test server.
We will not be upgrading our test or production environments
for a few more months. We have checked fonts amongst the
environments and this does not seem to be the issue. Has anyone
else experienced this type of a problem and have and suggestions to
a work around? Is this a version problem? Any help on this would be
appreciated.

You Mean all the alignment and format of the report is messy
up when show the report.?
The Problem i'm facing is the alignment look nice when in
design stage ..but when run it...all the alignment is run ..

I think I'm in big trouble now - CFReport

Hi all,
My client asked for some nicer reports that don't look so "excel-ish", specifically they wanted to see some nice looking 3D charts along with their data in a PDF format.
So, I worked on trying to create some nice mockup charts using the CFChart command, which I haven't used in a few years. I discovered the whole WebCharts3D series of charts, and was fairly impressed with the flexibility it had. So, I created an HTML page with my data and my new charts, and used CFDocument to make them a PDF. They looked great! Nice gradients on the backgrounds, my client's logo at the top of each chart, pie charts that jump out of the page at you... I got more than a few "wow's".
Then, I had to do it for real, and quickly saw that using CFDocument does not allow you to print page headers and footers when the report is more than a page long. I played for quite a while with google searches and CSS tricks to get it to happen, but it just isn't there yet - you can't get multiple footers to print (although you can get multiple headers - but it's hokey). Not to mention problems of the page break cutting off a line of text (maybe solvable, but at what cost? hours more of my time). So, I gave up using the CFDocument tag for our reports.
Then I tried the CF Report Builder. I have had some teething issues, but have been able to get a basic report at least, complete with my client's logo and watermark, and a pie chart. However, the pie chart looks terrible compared to the slick WebCharts3D pie chart that I did before. Plus, I haven't been able to get a bar chart work off of a passed in query yet, but I could probably get through that on my own.
To my question. Can you use a Webcharts3D chart in a CFReport? or, in other words, can you use CFChart in a CFReport?
If I cannot, I think I'm in big trouble, as the client thinks I can create these nice charts in a slew of new reports they want me to write... and I'll have to tell them that it's not possible? After I've already shown them what CFDocument can do?
Thanks in advance...

Unfortunately, the file is probably gone.
If it is retrievable, you will need to go directly into the drive. This means that the drive must be pulled from the Time Capsule and placed in an enclosure, just to see if the software program can retrieve the information. That's a big "IF".
I haven't tried this, (pulling the drive will void the warranty on the Time Capsule), so I can't predict what your chances of success may be. Perhaps some other users could help in this regard.

Cfchart and cfreport issues in 7.0.2

I've seen a few posts on people having issues with cfchart
and cfreport upon upgrading to 7.0.2
The specific issue I was having were that the cfcharts no
longer showed up and the cfreports where getting some sort of a
null error.
The fix:
in the lib dirrectory of your cf install dir (for me with
jrun it was
C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib)
there are 2 files: commons-digester-1.3.jar and a 1.7.jar the 1.3
version should have been deleted by the updater but was not, so
just rename it to something like .old and then restart coldfusion.
Everything should be working as it was before 7.0.2 now.

You
rock, John2!
I recently upgraded to 7.0.2 and has the same CFCHART problem
afterward that many other people encountered (i.e. Flash charts
would no longer appear when viewed using Internet Explorer). Your
recommendation worked perfectly. Thank you very much!

Cfreport tag issue

Hello all:
The online document says " * Run a predefined Crystal Reports
report. Applies only to Windows systems. "
Does this mean if CF was installed on Unix-like OS then there
would be no way to access rpt files from CFML pages?
And another question I encountered.
When attribute "report" is used in cfreport tag, cfreport
seems not working at all.
So does CFMX 8 support Crystal Report v2008?
thanks in advance.

Sorry here is the correct format
OracleJSP: oracle.jsp.parse.JspParseException: Line # 58, <ejb:getSysTypes searchCriteria="test" return = "ret" />
Error: Attribute: _return is not a valid attribute name

Cfreport cutting off lines on multiple pages created with report builder

I have a report built with report builder and it appears that if you set the body to "stretch with overflow" that cfreport will "cut off" a line or two every time it paginates see attached for a simplified version of the report, I have removed all but the body on this (actual report has a watermark, report header, page header and page footer ...the problem is pretty apparnt with this scaled down version as you can see it's missing text from one page to the next ..any ideas/suggestions/known bug?? You can see a sample of the issue here: http://www.arroyoc.com/onlybody.pdf

Hi Helen,
As per my understanding, I think this issue is caused by width size is not appropriate in the report. To narrow down this issue, please make sure that Body Width + Left margin + Right margin <= (Page width).
If the tablix is a matrix, because of the column group can expand to multiple columns, we should according to the following rule:
Body Width + Extra expanded column width + Left margin + Right margin <= (Page width).
Besides, please make sure there are no extra page breaks before each “R”. To check whether the issue is caused by the letter “R”, we can try to use another field to replace the Company Name field.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Cfreport call returns html when called within ajax tags

I'm "ajax-izing" an application.
I had a data collection cfform that on submit called
template2.cfm that did a query and invoked a <cfreport>
It worked great.
I stuck the same cfform tag within a cflayout and cfpod tag
and now, instead of a new PDF page displaying, I get goble-d-****
within the cfpod of the calling template.
Several posts on the web note that because the whole form is
not submitted, the header of the calling template stays in force,
preventing the browser from opening a new PDF window (or some such
thing).
I really don't care why. I just want a workaround.
Is there some way to basically get a targer="_blank" or
something so that the submission of the form within a cfpod, etc.
will create a new browser window that will display the cfreport's
PDF?
Thanks.
Craig

What's the best way to figure something out? Post your question on a forum.. your bound to figure it out for yourself soon after.
I don't realize that I had to include more of the path in the javascript call.
req.open("GET","/appName/LoadItemsServlet",false);
I guess maybe because it was being called from a window that was opened by a javascript window.open method?

Cfreport landscape orientation?

Running ColdFusion 8. We're using the cfreport tag to bring up reports designed in coldfusion report builder. They were designed in landscape orientation. We have cfreport's format set to flashpaper. when the report is brought up on screen it shows in portrait and prints in portrait. if the cfreport format is changed to PDF, it gets brought up landscape and prints in landscape.
We want to be able to show reports in flashpaper, but have it in landscape orientation by default. Is this possible? Why does cfreport not have an orientation attribute like cfdocument has? Right now users will have to change the printing settings everytime to change it to landscape; this is quite a hassle. Why can't cfreports be set to landscape through code?
or, if they can, how can I do this? Thanks...

I suggest just creating another CFR with the other orientantion. If you created the CFR in landscape, and say you took full advantage of the width with where you placed all your elements, how could you expect all elements to fit when the orientation changes?

Pass url parameter to cfreport

I am using CF9 and have generated a report using CF Report Builder that has a report parameter that function correctly.
I am trying to be able to get the variable value from the the address line and then display the cooresponding report page.
I have set a default value in report builder and written a simple viewing cfm.
<cfreport template="NC_ImpactReport.cfr" format="pdf">
<cfreportparam name= "CFVarProjectID" value=55>
</cfreport>
When I run this I get the report returned correctly for record '55'
http://website/nc_impactreport.cfm
Another program will have the hyperlink (http://website/nc_impactreport.cfm) with the selected record id(ie55) all on one line.
How do I get the variable value from the address line into the cfm correctly to pass it into the report?
Thanks,
Kurt

If your URL is "http://website/nc_impactreport.cfm?id=55" then your cfreportparam line should be:
<cfreportparam name= "CFVarProjectID" value="#URL.id#">

CFREPORT Fails to produce formatted report, i.e., PDF

What can I do to restore the CFREPORT Output to normal allowed formats? I have had reports working without error for FIVE YEARS and suddenly the now the report output for LARGE datasets produces ONLY the Symbolic language of the selected FORMAT, i.e., PDF, FalshPaper, etc. Small datasets produce the report; large datasets dump a query and then display the "gobble-de-****" language of the format elected.
Will reinstalling Coldfusion help?
This is a server running in VMWARE, 64-bit Windows Server 2008; Coldfusion 10, 64 bit.
Please help.

Problem getting style option on CFREPORT tag to work.

I am trying to alter the report format at run time using the style option on CFREPORT. I am actually trying to change the margins, but have tried everything I can think of. So I copied the code right out of the documentation to change the color. My code looks like
<cfreport template="Detail_rpt.cfr"
query = "line" overwrite="yes" style='mystyle { defaultStyle: true;
font-family:"Comic Sans MS"; color: ##993366; }' format = "pdf" >
</cfreport>
However, the report color is not changed. I figure if I can get color to work, I can then get the margins in place of it. But the statement appears to make no changes.
Anyone got any ideas? Have you ever gotten the style option to work? If so, can you let me see your statement?
Help!
Thanks!
Dave

Hi Dave -
Did you create a report style called mystyle in your cfreport?
I have added a style and modified it on the fly using the style option.

Report Data Binding Error with CFREPORT

I'm getting this error on my production server but not my
testing server when I try to print a report:
Report data binding error Unknown column name :
PK_RegistrationID.
The thing is, the column PK_RegistrationID is not in the
query I'm passing to the cfreport file. And it's not in the
cfreport fiile itself. It is used in other cfreport files in my
application. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the
version of cfreport on the production server.

You may want to make sure that the column is not included in
the query variable list in your report cfr file.
The newest version of the Report Builder, which may be
installed on the server, no longer tolerates vars appearing in that
list of they are not in the query itselft.

Displaying a cfreport inside a cfwindow

I am trying to display a cfreport inside a cfwindow rather
than in an external window, but all that is being displayed inside
the window when it is called is gibberish. As far as I know, and as
per Firebug, I am sending the correct content type, but it's still
not working. Am I fighting a battle I can't win? Or is it more of a
problem between my seat and my keyboard? I need to get this
resolved asap - just like everyone else in the forum I know - so if
anyone sees this and can get back to me at the earliest time
possible I'd be real appreciative. Cheers.

The only place I can think of where Flash will render html is in a textbox with the "render as html" option selected. I don't know if it will render all the html markup that would comprise an entire page, though.....

Cfreport and temp files..

Hi to all...
I was wondering.. obviously during report building either in pdf or flashpaper, a temp file of those is in hard disk of the web server...
if in cfreport i use decrypt() to decrypt data, then all my data will be readable from the temp file?

Hi.
On character set issues you might try posting your questions on
weblogic.developer.interest.internationalization.
I don't believe you can configure WLS to remove temp files when undeploying an EAR. Have
you tried this with service pack 1?
Failing that I suggest you open a case with support.
Thanks,
Michael

The other problem we have is with the temp. files that weblogic create. To have

Can we configure weblogic to allways remove the tem. files when we undeploy our

How do we change the language setting so that the jsp files can show Swedish charecters?

DSN and cfreport

Dear all,
Let's say I have one application where users can choose to
connect to more than one databases (live, development, etc).
I use one DSN for each database connection, so in this moment
I have 3 databases with 3 DSNs.
My question is how to let the cfreport know which DSN to use.
I tried to use <cfreport datasource = "#Session.gStrDSN#">
but it doesn't work. Datasource property is used only by Crystal
Report.
Looking forward for your reply.
Thanks in advance
Keiko

<cfreport has one attribute called "query". We need to
pass one query object for this attribute value. This query object
should have all the data and columns required for the report.
To generate the CF report we need to run the query against
the DB first to get the QUERY object. LIke:
<cfquery name="myQuery" datasource="Session.gStrDSN">
SELECT .........
</cfquery>
Then we can generate the CF report we can use this QUERY
object. Like:
<cfreport template="myTemplate.cfr" query="myQuery"
format="PDF">
</cfreport>
Hope this will solve your problem.
Thanks
