Change Dynamic Prompt connection

Hello,
We migrated our Crystal Reports 12.2.0.290 reports (Off SAP ECC) from dev to QA environment. After changing the datasource connection to point to QA infosets, when we refresh the report the prompt LOV still points to Dev. We know this as before prompting we get a screen to enter our Dev userid/password and we see the Dev in server name and database name.
Is there a way to change the prompt connection to QA? Or do we have to have to create new prompts in QA?
Thanks,
Nikhil

Changing formats of dynamic prompt parameters

Hello,
I am currently using Business Objects XI R2 (SP3) and some users have a dynamic prompt that returns what year the report should query on. However, the prompt is currently returning this:
2,006
2,007
2,008
2,009
2,010
Is there a way (besides converting the number to text) to get rid of the thousand separator? Also, what about dates? How can you change the format they are displayed as?

Bad news on both fronts...
#1 The only way to format that correctly would be to bring those values in as text. To make matters even more complicated, they have to come from the DB as text... You can't use a CR formula to to convert the value and then use the formula.
#2 You're stuck with YYYY-MM-DD for date formats... That is if you want to keep the prompt type set to Date or Date Time (and therefore, keep the date picker control.
You do have the option to use a text style prompt and allow the user to enter dates however they like...
Sorry I don't have better answers...

Dynamic Prompt not returning all values it should

I am using Crystal Report 2008 CR Developer with service pack 3.1.
I have a report that has a SQL command statement.
Using just the SQL statement, I get all results correctly (all "Events" show up).
When I use the same report and create a dynamic prompt for the "Events", I get some of the values in the results, but not all of them.
Also, the Events that I do get back in my results change randomly (one time I get Court Trial, the next time I don't).
The u201CEventsu201D field is the 2nd Group in the report.
I also have a date time parameter in the report.
The only thing Iu2019ve found so far related to this is the Max Rowset issue.
I have used the registry fix to set the LOV value to 3000, even though there are only 1644 possible values for that particular field in the database. I changed it for all versions 11, 11.5 & 12.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV "MaxRowsetRecords"="3000"
My understanding of Dynamic Prompts is that each time the report is run, it first looks at all possible values in that field and return those as values to select in the prompt. For example, if there were 1644 values in the table, it would show 1644 values to select in the parameter to be used in the report. Is that regardless of group level or date parameter or if "Save Data with Report" is selected?
Any ideas on why my parameters are not pulling the correct list of values to select for use in the report?

Try connecting to the database directly rather than using a command object.
Or... purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

Dynamic database connections at Runtime dbAdapter

Hi
I need to connect to a database defined a runtime in a BPEL process using the dbadapter. All the configuration parameters for making the connection are provided at runtime (connectionURL, User, Password) and i need a way to configure them in the dbAdapter make the connection and execute some SQLStatements.
Until now we were testing with some bpelx Properties changing dynamically the name of the jndi (jca.jndi) that works fine, but we cant define a datasource for every database. We also tried with another set of properties for setting the connection at runtime (jca.mcf.ConnectionString, jca.mcf.Password,jca.mcf.UserName) unsuccessfully.
Do you know a way to define connections parameters at runtime in dbAdapter? Is that possible with SOA version 11.1.1.6 ?
If this is not possible what alternative do you suggest for making dynamic connections to a database.?
Regards
Sergio

You can try using the function query-database and formulate the 4th parameter which is JDBC connect string at runtime.
oraext:query-database()
Returns a node-set by executing the sql-query against the specified database. The second parameter rowset indicates if the rows should be enclosed in a element. The third parameter row indicates if each row should be enclosed in a element. The fourth parameter datasource is either a JDBC connect string (jdbc:oracle:thin:USER-NAME/PASSWORD@HOST:PORT:SID) or a JNDI name for the database. Only Oracle Thin Driver is supported if JDBC connect string is used. Usage: oraext:query-database(sqlquery as string, rowset as boolean, row as boolean, datasource as string). Example: oraext:query-database('select last_name from employee where id=1234',false(),false(),'jdbc:oracle:thin:scott/tiger@localhost:1521:ORCL'.
This does not require a database adapter .

Is there a way to do that? To use dynamic EJB connections?

Hello Developers,
I have developed a security web application using EJB,
Jaas with customer provider
I used DBSystemLogin module
I want to fined a way that the EJB connection change each time when the user login.
I used the HR as the main schema.
I created three schemas that I want to use them as users:
-Lina
-Salem
-Ahmad
I granted Roles to users on hr tables.
additional, created my own roles in data base and granted to my users:
ADMINISTRATOR  Lina - can see all records
EMPLOYEE Ahmad -can see the records added by this employee
CUSTOMER  Salem - can see the records belongs to this customer
In developer 10.1.3.3
I created Order Entity been using HR database connection, created session been,
Modified web.xml:
-security roles["ADMINISTRATOR","EMPLOYEE","CUSTOMER"])
-Loginconfig (Form-based authentication: login page, error page)
-Security constraints: ord on /faces/Orders.jsp to ADMINISTRATOR,EMPLOYEE,CUSTOMER.
I created Orders.jsp page contains order table.
Now, I want that when the user login as Lina to switch the EJB database connection to Lina, so the displayed order table achieves ADMINISTRATOR roles that created in database,means opening database session for user Lina and use it.
and so on for user salem and ahmad.
Is there a way to do that? To use dynamic EJB connections? To achieve authentication based connection? to implement the user database roles on the client side? To specify the database connection at run time?
That is possible using forms but I don’t want to use forms.
I want to reed the roles from database according to the user.
I hope to get answers soon,
thanks.

Parameter with Dynamic prompt - bug encountered

I am using CRD XI release 2 (SP2) against an Oracle 10 release 2 database
I have a report fully working with a static parameter
1. But I have an issue when trying to introduce a parameter with dynamic prompts
I have a data source (PointofSale retrieving data from a database view)
I am trying to have the newPointOfSale parameter to prompt the user for values taken out of the PointOfSale source.
I set up the parameter as indicated by the Crystal RD210 Guide.
But when I run the report I am prompted for Server Name(greyed out)/user name/password(something I have never had to do for this report until introducing the dynamic parameter)
In doubt I enter these of the database user I am using as a source for this report
I get a strange error message telling me there is a problem with another datasource on the report.
'Prompting failed with the following error message: 'List of Values failure: fail to get values. [Cause of erro: The table 'DLEX_REPORT.DLEX_REPORT_RETRIEVE.AIRLEGSUMMARY_SUM' could noyt be found. UNKNOWN.RPT]'.
Error source: prompt.ddl Error code 0x8004380D
There seem to be bug with parameters and dynamic list of values in Crystal as other people seem to encounter similar issue
Is there a fix or a workaround?
2. Also I believe this forum allows to escalate bugs with SAP/business objects. Does anyone know how to do this? As this is very obviously a bug....
Thanks
Philippe

I am not sure whether this will solve your problem since you are using a different implementation of Crystal Reports , but I've received the same error using CR XI Developer Release 2 in conjunction with the Crystal Reports Server XI Release 2. My solution was to go into the Business View Manager application and fix the Data Connection object associated with the problematic Dynamic prompt by supplying a user name and password for the data connection object and setting the "Runtime Prompt Mode" property to "Never Prompt". For some dumb reason, the Crystal Reports client will publish the data connection object to the Business Views database without any login credentials associated with it. So after creating such a prompt in a report, you have perform this extra step before running the report the first time. The good news is that if you reference this dynamic prompt in other reports, it will work - so you only need to fix it when it is first created.

How to configure Dynamic Data Connection for Business View

Hi,
How can we configure Dynamic Data connection that we can save the profile of the connection to somewhere that we do not need to enter it everytime when we refresh the report?
thanks and regards
nora

Hi James,
Thanks for the reply. Its solved now. For anybody if interested you can set the dynamic email address either i) having it as part of payload - In this case use the xpath to query the payload varaible ii) use identity service - follow the following steps
1.Create a user in Application enterprise manager/also you can use a existing account, if u are creating a new one assign the correct role
2. In either case edit the user-properties.xml(bpel/system/services/config) file for the corresponding user and add an attribute called email
3. Bounce the server for this changes to take effect
4. In the notification properties in the to address use ids:getUserProperty and pass the attribute name

To change the prompt

I knew this but forgot how to do it. I have 2 sqlplus sessions open , one connection is to the dev box and the other to the production box (on the same machine).
Just not to get confused between the 2, there is a way where we can change the prompt
for example, SQL> can be changed to DEV> on the dev session window and SQL> can be changed to PROD> on the prod session window.
I am thinking there is a set command to do it. Please let me know how to do this. I am on unix and do not have that sqlplus that windows come up with(where we have an option in the menu bar)
Thanks

The following login.sql script should be useful

set termout on
set sqlprompt '&gname> '

Dynamic prompting with stored procedures XI- urgent

I have a report that has 7 parameters and two stored procedures, I get the dynamic prompting to work wonders as stand alone dynamic parameters, however I need them to be cascading.

Since your {?Project}Â parameter is part of a stored procedure, you have to think of it as part of the table.Â Â In reality, it could "change" the result set so Crystal has always prompted them first.Â It's like in math with the order of operation between +-*/.Â
All "added" parameters (like the one you created within the report) must be prompted after the server-based prompts (stored proc).

Made Dynamic Prompts OK, but Static Prompts Still Appear. Why?

Hello All,I have a stored procedure that I am using as the basis for a report. This stored procedure has some parameters so the user can customize the report.When making the report, Designer gives me some default static Parameter Fields to match the parameters of the stored procedure. When I run the report in preview mode in Designer or in InfoView after publishing, the report correctly presents a page with simple text input fields (one for each parameter) to the user.I can successfully convert these Parameter Fields from static to dynamic. However, something odd is happening now. When I try to run the report, whether in preview mode in Designer or in InfoView after publishing, the report will still present the page with simple text input fields to the user. If the user just clicks OK at the bottom of the parameter page, THEN the report presents a page with the appropriate dynamic prompts to the user.How can I get the report to skip the page with the simple text input fields and only present the page with the dynamic prompts?If anyone can give me an answer to this ASAP, I'll personally see to it that you have a bright sunny day tomorrow.Not that I think this should matter, but were on CR XI.

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Data Connectivity - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

JCO change dynamic in WD

How can i change dynamicly the JCO in the WDApplication?
Where include the JavaCode?

Thomas,
There are certain restrictions for possible combinations of meta- and data-connections in WebDynpro Adaptive RFC model.
Please read this post by Bertram Ganz: Re: JCO connection to multiple R/3 Back end system
Hope you got an idea how to implement your task with SAP Enterprise Connector instead of Adaptive RFC.

Dynamic JCo Connection

Hi Victor,
I see two options:
1: If you know at design time which JCO connections you want to use and that they are available on your system: create a Model for every connection.
2: If you want to create these connections dynamically change the JCO connection everytime you call your model like this:
IWDDynamicRFCModel model;
model = (IWDDynamicRFCModel) WDModelFactory.getModelInstance(ModelName.class);
model.setJcoClient(connection)
--> continue calling code.
or:
model.setSystemName(<<JCO ClientName>>)
see: [http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/modelimpl/dynamicrfc/IWDDynamicRFCModel.html]

Error Publishing Dynamic Prompt to BOE XI Release 3 From Crystal 2008

I am getting the following error when trying to publish reports with dynamic prompts to "Failed to read data from report file <file name> Reason: failed to read parameter object". I found this error occurring in threads referring to previous versions of BOE and none of the solutions are an option to me: I cannot give the user any further rights, and I am unable to apply patches since they are for Crystal XI, rather than 2008. Is there a solution for this issue? I found a work around which is to save the report to another source (a shared drive, for example) and then loading it via the Central Management Console. However, once this is done, when any user attempts to view the report, the report continues to prompt for a username and password, despite having updated this in the Database Configuration and selecting "use same database logon as when report is run".
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Heather
I get the same behaviour in this case:
If my report uses a Stored procedure as the datasource AND i use an SQL sommand to create the LOV for dynamic parameter then each time i run the report in infoview it asks for db login info
I think it looks for this info to create the LOV
I created the same report with a table as the datasource and used the exact same command to create the LOV and was able to run the report without a request for db login info.
I also created the report with the SP but with no LOV, the parameter is set to static, and it runs without extra login
I have entered the db login info in CMC for each report before i tried running in infoview
What are your reports using as datasources?

Dynamic Data Connection Parameter and Report Parameters

Post Author: despec
CA Forum: General
Hello to all,I am using a business view that is based on a dynamic data connection of 13 databases, each a different school. When I use the BV is a CXrystal Report (XI), it correctly, of course, uses the "read only" parameter for me to select a school. My problem arises when I try to enter a student name "list of values" parameter using that same dynamic data connection. After I select the "read only" school parameter, I then select that student name and immediately, the "read only" school parameter resets to "--". Therefore when I click okay, I get an error saying that my selection for the first parameter is invalid.Anyone have any suggestion on how I may be able to resolve this?Thanks,David

Hello,
Jsut a reminder this is not a Support Case Management system but for all to use.
Since you have BOE 3.1 you should have a valid support contract. Log into Service Market Place and create a case on line and a support Engineer will call you.
If you don't know how to then ask your Manager who is your SAP Account Super User and that person can add you to the list and give you a log in ID and password.
Thank you
