Change 'report parameters' of scheduled report

How can I change the report parameters (not schedule parameters) programmatically and then schedule the 'modified' report immediately?
Scheduling works off - Binding off InfoObjects model
Modifying Parameters are based off - Binding off RAS model
Should I be using the ReportDocument Object?

IReport boReport = (IReport)boInfoObjects.get(0);
IReportProcessingInfo reportInterface =
(IReportProcessingInfo) boReport.getPluginProcessingInterface("CrystalReport");
reportInterface.getReportParameters()
seems to have it.

Selection Screen Change & Impact on background scheduled reports

Hi,
I have modified the selection screen of a report program by adding additional selection criteria. This report is background scheduled and runs several times with different variants in a day. I am worried that the background jobs may fail in Production if the latest changes are moved. But I think, background jobs will not fails unless the selection criteria that are part of variants that used in the background jobs not modified. But not sure. I just want to make sure, I am doing correct thing.
Please let me know your thoughts. Appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Kannan.

I don't think so.
But of course you will have to update the variants to reflect the new selections.

Crystal Reports Server 2008 - Scheduling Reports Best Practice

What is the best practice for scheduling a report that will be distributed to approximately 30 recipients? I have uploaded a report that has a single parameter for the physician's name. I need to distribute this report on a daily basis to each physician using their name as the parameter. Should I right-click on the single report that is uploaded and schedule the report with the corresponding parameter and physician e-mail address, or should I create 30 reports each with the physician's name. Basically, I need a way to see all of the scheduled jobs for a given report? Is this possible in Crystal Reports Server 2008? Thanks.

The way that I handle all of our scheduled reports is to create the report with parameters to cover all of the necessary variations of the same basic report. For you, that's be a single report with the doctor's name (or other identifier) as a parameter. I then create an Object Package (I use BOE, so I'm not positive if CR Server has them, but I'd guess so...) for each variation (doctor in your case), and copy the report into the package. I then set up the destination and schedule for the package, and set the parameter(s) of the report. Then, schedule the package to run.
The advantage of using object packages is that it separates the schedule and distribution from the actual report, so if (or I should say, when :->) the report changes, you don't have to copy the schedule and destination to the new version of the report, saving time and reducing errors. Just copy the new version into the package, set the parameters, delete the old version, and reschedule the package to run.

Differentiate between report and generated scheduled report - report list

How do I differentiate between a (.rpt) report and a (scheduled generated report) from this report (.rpt with data) when I list all the reports on the server.
I need this information because when I view the scheduled report, I do not need to set the parameters via the crystal viewer.
Thanks in advance.
JM

Ted.
I am not sure why the scheduled report is saying si_instance=false.
So I scheduled the sample report - Drilldown and named the scheduled instance as "DrilldownInstance",
it created two info objects. One has SI_INSTANCE = true and the other has SI_INSTANCE = false!!!!!
select * from CI_INFOOBJECTS
where
SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.Report'
and SI_KIND = 'CrystalReport'
and si_name LIKE '%DrilldownInstance%'
I presume it should have only created one object, and set si_instance=true
Thanks,
JM
P.S
Sorry to be a bother! but this is driving me nuts!

Information Given in Report Parameters of COPA Report

Can any please tell what information does the Keyword "Memory Table SP" and "Screen Table B" provide which is given under the Tech Data Tab for Overview of Report Parameters? It will give some information about the data rows.What does that information mean?
Another questions is that I am running a COPA report based on Summarization levels. The data that report is pulling in QA from the Summarization Level does not match with the data in Production for the YTD for that period. Is there some limitation of the QA system to display the data or is it some OSS thing?

Get Report Error when schedule report run

No problem I know what it is.

Issue was related to the Console URL setting in the Grid Control Overview tab, it was set to http://<host>:<port>/em/console and should have been set to http://<host>:<port> instead.

Crystal Reports Server - Scheduling Report Exports

Dear Experts,
We are using Crystal Reports Server XI Edition and we would like to schedule report exports. Crystal Reports Server configuration console allows us to automate report exports but apparently we could not find a way to pass report parameters and formulas from any export management tab. Naturally, each report needs to take different parameters but to our knowledge CRS management console does not have a screen that prompts us to key in or to read dynamic report parameters and formula. It simply uses the default report parameters. Can you confirm this please?
To overcome this limitation, we are thinking of developing something like a script that directly interacts with CRS. The script would pass the name of the report, the report parameters and other relevant details like CMS username/ password.Do you think this is possible and if yes can you please point us to the key APIs required for scheduling report exports?
My sincere thanks for your assistance.
Kind Regards,
Joseph.

You are able to change the parameters for the report within the Central Management Console under the processing tab before scheduling.
Here is some sample applications that you can refer to in regards to doing this using the api:

Hi:
Thank you for your kindly reply.
I have already checked these 3 notes. for the setup one, customer has checked ,the setup is correct.
For the other patch solution notes.
If this issue is a bug issue, then why when they extend the PPR Pay through date to next year, then this Credit memo can be selected and processed?
Confusing.
Any idea about this?
Thank you very much

How to change the SQL-Query in (Report in ReportViewer) by running Java App

Hello,
Ich have an App which generates dynamicly SQL-Queries. By pressing a button it should generate a report with this generated Query.
I´m using the ReportViewer.jar. Further is it possilbe to a extra parameters form app which are not in a DB?

There are a few ways that you can achieve this. If your SQL Queries have their filters modified (ie. WHERE clause) then this can be easily solved by adding report parameters to the Report filter. Search the in-product help for "Record Filter" and you should get a number of helpful resources returned.Additionally, you can pass in java.sql.ResultSet objects with a populated recordset of the data you want to show in the report. We don't currently provide any tools to assist the creation of the code stubs for thick-client applications (like we do for JSP pages) however you can download a collection of thick-client sample code from here:<a href="http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_desktop_samples.zip">http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_desktop_samples.zip</a> As I mentioned, this sample contains a collection of code snippets. The one in particular you will be interested in is titled "JRCResultsetDatasource". Hopefully, this will provide you with a few options. Regards, Sean Johnson (CR4E Product Manager)

SCOM 2012 SP1 - Scheduled Report not showing any chart

We have created 2 Scheduled Reports based on the Performance and Performance Details reports.
The Scheduled Reports run every day and create a PDF file in the file share.
The Reports however don't contain any charts. Selecting other output formats gives the same results...no charts. There no errors visible and no errors reported in the EventLogs.
Does anyone know what might be the cause of this?

Hi,
Please ensure the reporting service is configured correctly. Meanwhile, check if the following KB is helpful.

Dynamic date parameters for a scheduled report that runs every day

I have a report that has input parameters for a start date and
end date. The report will be scheduled to run once a day at a
scheduled time. I need the report to automatically set the start
date and end dates when the report runs at the scheduled time.
When the report runs at the scheduled time, the end date needs
to be set to that time and the start date needs to be set to 24
hrs before the end date. I want the start and end dates to roll
forward automatically when the scheduled report runs each day. I
don't want any user intervention to change the start and end
dates every day. How can I do this in a report ?
Also, since the report is scheduled to run each day, I want the
output to be saved to a unique file name each time the report is
run as each day's report will report on the data only for that
day. How can I get the report to save to a unique file name
automatically each day ? Again, I don't want any user
intervention where they would set the output file name manually.

Try adding the following in the beforereport or beforepform
trigger, before the RETURN clause (TRUNC gets rid of the time
component of the date):
:p_date_from := TRUNC(sysdate) - 1;
:p_date_to := TRUNC(sysdate);
:desname := 'REPORT'||TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYY')||'.txt'

Scheduled report failing with "Incorrect log on parameters"

I am having trouble with a report scheduled on our Crystal Enterprise Server. I didn't design this report but am responsible for supporting the server, so I am trying to determine if this is a server issue or not.
The user who designs these reports has designed many others without issue. She uses Crystal Reports XI and publishes them to the server. There is a group of similar reports that she has setup to run on a schedule and all run fine except for one. This one gives the error:
Error Message: Error in File C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Data\procSched\REPORTS.reportjobserver\~tmpee06be03474eb18.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 18456 ]
Within CR XI, we have double and triple checked the username, password and database connection info. The report is using OLE DB to connect to a SQL 2005 server. I know the credentials are correct because several other reports use the same credentials and work fine.
One other interesting note, if I log into the Central Management Console, I can run the same report manually without errors. It only throws this error when it runs as scheduled.
Hope someone can offer some suggestions. I'm no Crystal expert so please ask if I didn't provide enough information.

Moved to BOE Admin Forums.
In the Properties of the report in the CMC you can set the log on info as well as any parameters when scheduled.
Check the Admin guide on how to

Scheduled report with parameters

Hello Experts!
Is it possible to pass or somehow set two date parameters for a Scheduled Report????
Typically this report is executed on an On-Demand bassis prompting the user for these values. But I would also like to run it as a scheduled report where I pass two dates that populate the params automatically..
Thanks

Hi,
The request you need is not present in enterprise.
However you can schedule reports as recurring with different time period.
Thanks,

Cascading Parameters prompting twice when scheduling report on CMC

Hi all,
I am having some difficulty with the Central Management Console (CMC) when scheduling a report I created.
The report contains one sub-report with a stored procedure to generate the data. This stored procedure has 5 parameters including region and city. In the main report I implemented cascading parameters for region and city and passed their values to the parameters of the stored procedure for the sub-report. All of this works fine within Crystal Reports when I run the report and even when I use the "View" option in CMC. However when I use the "Schedule" option in CMC to schedule the report and I am setting the parameters for the report, there is some odd behavior. The first parameter shows two values, one for region and one for city (this is fine). The next parameter is a string variable. When I try to set this parameter, I am prompted again with the cascading parameters for the region and city. This messes up all the parameters and if I continue to set the other parameters, I am prompted to give a value for the previous parameter.
Why am I being prompted twice to enter a value for the cascading parameters? How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
P.S. I thought about using the cascading parameters as filters in the Crystal Report itself but this causes the report to be slow as a lot of data is brought back from the stored procedure before filtering.
P.P.S. I am using Crystal Reports 2008

Hi Jevon,
What version of BO (Service Pack, Patch) are you using?
Try upgrading the version to a higher Service Pack/Patch on a Test environment to see if that resolves the issue.
