Is it possible to change the name of a report thanks to the report painter

Hello,
Is it possible to change the name of a report thanks to the report painter GRR2?
Thanks!
SB

Hi,
First of all, it's possible to change a report description(title), if that what's you mean. If you want to change a code(name), then indeed you have to copy your report under a new name. To delete the report, first delete it from the report group (via GR52) and then you will be able to delete it.

How to change the name of a Box Object in Crystal Reports 2008

I am trying to change the name of a box object in a crystal report - 2008. This report was originally developed by consultants and requires that certain boxes be named according to a specific naming convention. I am making a change to the report and need to add a box with a name that matches the naming convention. This is so some program functionality will work for the new box. I can't contact the consultants because they don't work with our company anymore.
Does anybody have any ideas? I've tried 'Format Box', but it won't let me change the name from there. I also tried it in the Report Explorer but to no avail.
Thanks,
Joanne

Hi Joanne,
Boxes do not actually have a 'name'. When you add a Box in a report, it will be called 'Box 1' by default. And the only place this name is visible is under the Report Explorer.
Or do you mean to say 'Text Object'?

Change the name of the universes in several reports

Hi,
We have thousands of DESKI reports which are pointed towards erroneous universes.
I must make following tasks:
1- to change the name of each report.
2- In each report, to check out if there is only one or several data providers.
3- For each data providers given to modify the universe towards which it is pointed.
The manual solution is very long to make, I seek a solution to automate these tasks to make more quickly so that the users are not very penalized.
Thank you for your help

Process/stpes to modify the report painter reports...

Hi,
I want to modify the report painter report. Could anybody tell me how can we do this. Where can we do this and it would be helpful if any body advise with the steps.
The requirement is to add one line in the current report painter report and remove one line from it.
Regards....

Hi,
Modifying a report painter report is very similar to creating the report itself. Below mentioned are the steps in general, please use them as per your requirement.
From the relevant application, choose Tools->Report Painter->Report->Create.
The Report Painter: Create Report screen appears.
You can also create Report Painter reports from any Report Writer screen. To do so, choose Report Writer->Report Painter-> Create report.
Enter the name of the library the report is to use, and a name and description for the report. The report name can be a maximum of eight characters long. If you want to create your report using an existing Report Painter report as a basis, enter the name of the report that you want to copy under Copy from. Both reports must use the same library.
Choose Create.The next screen displays an empty report containing four rows and four columns (this is the basic structure for a report). You define your report on this screen.
Enter or change the description for the report by double-clicking the report description field.
A dialog box appears in which you can enter a short, medium, and long text for the report description.
Define the rows of your report.Rows contain a combination of characteristic values or formulas. Note the lead column at the first position of the rows. The Report Painter uses the lead column to access the rows. You can replace the description Lead column with a different term.
Define the columns of your report. Columns contain a combination of a basic key figure and optional restricting characteristic values. You can also use predefined key figures to present key figures and characteristics that make business sense. For example, a number of predefined key figures are delivered for the libraries in Overhead Cost Controlling that can be copied directly into the reports, where they can be modified as required.
Define general data selection criteria. The general data selection criteria restrict data selection for the report.
Choose Save and then Execute to create the report. Assign the report to a report group.
You have to display the report before you execute it, so that you can later change the report layout directly from the report list. Once you have defined a report, you can display and print out a table of contents with Extras->Overview.
The overview contains the characteristics and characteristic values used in the individual sections, column blocks, and general data selection criteria. It also provides general information such as the user who last changed the report, the report name, and the standard layout assigned to the report, as well as details on the report formats.
If you double-click an individual characteristic, you can see where this characteristic is used in the report definition.
Hope this helps you. Let me know if you need an specific information.

Changing the datasource of a Crystal Report to a Oracle DB using TNS

I have a problem trying to change the datasource of a crystal report. In the new connection I want to connect to a Oracle DB using TNS.
Without TNS it's finally working flawlessly with the following code:
     private static void switch_tables(DatabaseController databaseController) throws ReportSDKException {
          // Declare the new connection properties that report's datasource will be switched to.
          final String DBUSERNAME = "user";
          final String DBPASSWORD = "secret";
          final String SERVERNAME = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@1.1.1.1:mysid";
          final String URI = "!oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver!jdbc:oracle:thin:{userid}/{password}@1.1.1.1:mysid";
          final String DATABASE_NAME = "mysid";
          final String DATABASE_DLL = "crdb_jdbc.dll";
          final String SCHEMA_NAME = "SCHEMA.";
          // Obtain collection of tables from this database controller.
          Tables tables = databaseController.getDatabase().getTables();
          // Set the datasource for all main report tables.
          for (int i = 0; i < tables.size(); i++) {
               ITable table = tables.getTable(i);
               // Keep existing name and alias.
               table.setName(table.getName());
               table.setAlias(table.getAlias());
               // Change properties that are different from the original datasource.
               table.setQualifiedName(SCHEMA_NAME + table.getName());
               // Change connection information properties.
               IConnectionInfo connectionInfo = table.getConnectionInfo();
               // Set new table connection property attributes.
               PropertyBag propertyBag = new PropertyBag();
               propertyBag.put("Trusted_Connection", "false");
               propertyBag.put("Server Name", SERVERNAME); //Optional property.
               propertyBag.put("Connection String", URI);
               propertyBag.put("Database Name", DATABASE_NAME);
               propertyBag.put("Server Type", "JDBC (JNDI)");
               propertyBag.put("URI", URI);
               propertyBag.put("Use JDBC", "true");
               propertyBag.put("Database DLL", DATABASE_DLL);
               connectionInfo.setAttributes(propertyBag);
               // Set database username and password.
               // NOTE: Even if these the username and password properties don't change when switching databases, the
               // database password is not saved in the report and must be set at runtime if the database is secured.
               connectionInfo.setUserName(DBUSERNAME);
               connectionInfo.setPassword(DBPASSWORD);
               connectionInfo.setKind(ConnectionInfoKind.SQL);
               table.setConnectionInfo(connectionInfo);
               // Update old table in the report with the new table.
               databaseController.setTableLocation(table, tables.getTable(i));
I just call this method with the DatabaseController from a ReportClientDocument instance.
How do I need to change the connectionInfo to do the connection using TNS?

Please re-post if this is still an issue but first update to CR4E 2 and retest

Profit center group number on the report painter report.

Hi,
We have a client requirement where we have to develop Profit center by Functional Area report by using report painter report functionality, however we are able to bring profit center group description on to the report as per the requirement, but not able to get profit center group number displayed on the report.
Can anyone please advice me if we can get the Profit center group number displayed on the report in Report painter report. Else let me know if we can get the requirement met by an ABAPER.

Hi.
First of all, through transaction GS01 create a set ID for profit centers.
Give table GLPCT, let the set type be the default (basic set) and give field name RPRCTR. Then define the range of profit centers you want. If you want all the profit centers give * in the "from value field".
Then create a variable through transaction GS11. Give table and field as above, choose variable type set and at the default set field choose the set you created.
Finally, at report painter go to Edit/General Data Selection and select profit center.
Check both flags (for entering sets and variables) and give at the form field the variable you've made.
Now the progit center group will be available in the selection screen with default value the set you've made.
Regards

Supress the -ve sign in report painter report - VERY URGENT

Hi
In a report painter report, can anybody please let me know how to display a negative value, for example, "-1234.56" as "(1234.56)".
IT IS VERY URGENT

Check If value is less than 0,
then replace '-' with space ( to remove the '-' from the right end) and then Concatenate '-' and value into a variable.

Can we create a report painter report which shows the details of CC/CE/IO?

Hi,
I am trying to create a report painter report which shows the details of cost elements,cost centers and internal orders in a single section.I am able to create reports with 2 characteristics (like CC/CE or IO/CE etc.) but not with 3 characteristics (CE/CC/IO) which is my case.I am trying to get data something like below.Is this even possible using report painter?I will appreciate if any one could suggest how to do this.
CE          CC                        IO                        Amt
600000 8190001100           1100001                $1000

But when i am using the same synonym in crystal report design, my report is working fine.. but the same synonym is available as invalid in database..

What does 'my report is working fine' mean? Are you saying that if you rerun the query it retrieves fresh data from the database?
What does 'same synonym is available as invalide in database' mean? How are you determining this.
Synonyms can be created for objects that do not yet exist.
create synonym q for table_does_not_exist
select * from user_objects where object_name = 'Q'
SYNONYM_NAME,TABLE_OWNER,TABLE_NAME,DB_LINK
Q,SCOTT,TABLE_DOES_NOT_EXIST,

Implicit enhancement for report painter reports(For GRR3 and CJE3)

Hi,
We have a client requirement to add 5 fields (In selection screen) to report painter reports ( Reports of CJE3 and GRR3 ).We created Z reports as a copy of standard reports, added required 5 fields by implementing SAP notes and other settings.We have also done implicit enhancement for all these reports to make change in the behaviour of new fields.This is working fine in the development client but the problem is once we transport this to other client new reports get generated( With new name ) and implicit enhancement will be lost.
For eg:in development client for CJE1/CJE2 report the program name will be "GPAVPSATWFP4NN0YRDBIQBHI8MQ"
but when we transport it to other client new program "GP8O1UCNZTJYY5LTO8GN0UW2GQB" is generated in which implicit enhancements are not found.
Can you please suggest how to handle implicit enhancement in such cases? Or what is the correct way to transport it.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Shekhar

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply..
I have already done implicit enhancement as you said ,my problem is to transport it to another client.
I have implemented implicit enhancement for one report lets say it as "ABC", and i transport it to another client with all the enhancement. But in another client new program "XYZ" is getting generated for same report( dynamic programs ), so my implicit enhancement is present but its applicable to "ABC" program but not for "XYZ".
Can you please suggest how can i handle this??
thanks in advance,
Greeshma.
