Changing Vertical display to horizontal in Crystal report 10

Post Author: arun.net
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Hi.
I am working in one of the .net application where we are using Crytal report version X(10) for report generation.
I have Week_start(Data type Date) as field in the graph,but by default is displaying the field in graph as vertical so every thing is getting over lapped.
I want that this( Week_start ) has to display as horizontal so it can not over lap from one to other, But not sure how i can do this.
I tryied to attached my graph so it make more sence,But not able to Atttach the file.
Thank you in advance.

Hi
Hyperlink would not be a solution to what you are asking for.
If you want to see the records related to a particular employee id by clicking on emp id, you can try the below:
- Apply a group on employee id on the main report.
- Insert a subreport with the required fields and place it on the Employee id Group header. You can put a name of the subreport as "Check Employee details" or something else as per requirement and make it a on demand subreport.
- Link the subreport on Employee id.
Hope this helps!!!

Trying to change the data source for a Crystal Report.

The method below represents my best attempt to programatically change the data source of a Crystal Report. The goal is to have a routine that will update the data source for reports after they have been distributed to production servers. So far I have not been successful in saving the report back to the CMS. No exceptions are thrown, but when I view the Database Configuration of the report in the CMC nothing has changed.


Am I missing a step, or is there another way to accomplish this?


Thank you.

Justin,

Thank you for the reply. Time constraints have not allowed me to post back to this tread
till now. I will try your suggestion. My assumption is that Save the report back to the
info store refers to IInfoStore.commit(IInfoObjects).


I'm afraid that I do not understand why I don't want to change the report client document,
or why successfully exporting the report with the new login/password is not what I
want to do. Any explanation on that statement would be appreciated.


I did find a way to accomplish my goal. It involved adding the SSOKEY property to the
logon property bag. Below you'll see my revised code which modifies the report logon and
server. I have no idea what
this does, and SAP support has not been able to tell me why it works. However, what I
discovered is that if I changed the report option, Database Configuration -> When
viewing report:, in the CMS to Use same database logon as when report
is run from Prompt the user for database logon, then the
SSOKEY property had been added to the logon property bag having an empty string as its
value. This allowed me to successfullyupdate and save the modified logon back to the CMS.


So I took a chance and added code to always add the SSOKEY property with an empty string
as its value, and I could then successfully modify and save the report's logon info
and server. Again, I don't know what this means, but it has worked so far. If anyone has
some insight or comments, either are welcome. Thank you in advance.

How to change default Export Format Type in Crystal Report Viewer

We are coding in VB.NET 2005 using the CR2008 SP1 .NET objects.
The Crystal Report Viewer, when displayed, defaults the export type as .rpt (Crystal Reports).
We distribute our .NET application to our customers. 99% of the time, this .rpt format is useless to our customers as they do not have crystal reports developer. They usually export to a .pdf or .xls format. Is there a way to default this export option to something other than .rpt?
Thank you.

Yes, that's as much as I figured.
With the Crystal for .NET methods, the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine's reportdocument object has an ExportToDisk method. We wanted to use this (as we used something similar with the RDC) to prompt the user to export. However, the reportdocument's exporttodisk method does not have an argument that allows for Prompting the user (true/false) like the RDC's export did. You have to actually know ahead of time the type of export the user wants as well as the filename. Well, we do not, and therefore, want the user to be able to select the type of export they want as well as enter their own filename. We want the Crystal methods to prompt for this. Since we are unable to, we've had to resort to declaring a reportviewer object and setting the viewer's reportsource = to the reportdocument. We then use the ExportReport() method which defaults to .rpt (which none of our end users have Crystal Developer). This is why we want to know if there is a way to reset the default export method to something more common (such as .pdf or .xls). Is there a way to change the reportdocument's file type in order to default the export type? Just trying to come up with some sort of workaround...
Thanks

Capturing and displaying user input in Crystal Reports

Hi all,
Iu2019m creating a crystal report with SAP as data-source and want to capture user input and display it on the report. I have defined parameters to capture the input and added them to the report header. I have then created formula fields to capture user input using the JOIN statement to accommodate multiple values. Everything works well when users enter values for all the parameters, but when they leave some blank I get an error message u201CParameter value is nullu201D.
Has anyone encountered this type of problem; Anyone knows how to resolve this?

Hi
In parameter window make the Optional prompt to True. And change make change in your record selection formula like this :
(not HasValue({?PrjMgr@SELECT Firstname,lastname FROM OHEM}) OR
ISNULL({?PrjMgr@SELECT Firstname,lastname FROM OHEM}) OR
({?PrjMgr@SELECT Firstname,lastname FROM OHEM} = '') OR
{OHEM.firstName} = {?PrjMgr@SELECT Firstname,lastname FROM OHEM})

Display HTML code in Crystal Reports

We have a field in the database in which the data is encoded HTML, it includes links to images. I have tried to use the RTF/HTML interpretation option for the field but it doesn't work. I saw on the other thread that there's limitation to displaying HTML - I am using Cyrstal Reports XI. So the crysal can't understand img tags correct? I am allowing users to do just about anything with HTML so it's hard to find a workaround if the we have to limit the tags. Would this issue be fixed in the future? Any piece of advice how to handle this would be great!
Thanks.

Hi Pizzaz,
The HTML tags that are supported by Crystal Reports are:
" html
" body
" div (causes a paragraph break)
" tr (causes only a paragraph break; does not
preserve column structure of a table)
" span
" font
" p (causes a paragraph break)
" br (causes a paragraph break)
" h1 (causes a paragraph break, makes the font bold
& twice default size)
" h2 (causes a paragraph break, makes the font bold
& 1.5 times default size)
" h3 (causes a paragraph break, makes the font bold
& 9/8 default size)
" h4 (causes a paragraph break, makes the font bold)
" h5 (causes a paragraph break, makes the font bold
& 5/6 default size)
" h6 (causes a paragraph break, makes the font bold
& 5/8 default size)
" center
" big (increases font size by 2 points)
" small (decreases font size by 2 points if it's 8
points or larger)
" b
" i
" s
" strike
" u
And the supported HTML attributes are:
" align
" face
" size
" color
" style
" font-family
" font-size
" font-style
" font-weight
Hope this helps you!

Change the field object location in crystal report

hello,
i want to change the contols location in crystal report and the controls alignment in run time to make mirror ,how can i access this controls and this properties. we use two language English and arabic that have different alignment.
thanks and best regards,
Mahmoud awad

The best place to start would be on the <a href="http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm" target="_blank">DevLibrary</a> you can find the reference guide for the APIs for the CR .NET SDK. Generally speaking, you can access the particular field object using the corresponding class and modify it's left/right/top/etc properties to change placement. For example, if you want to modify properties for a text object on a report, use the TextObject class and the members exposed by that class.Depending on what properties you want to modify, you'll need to look at other classes such as the FieldFormat class or ObjectFormat class to access other properties. So I recommend using the reference guide to help you find what you are trying to do.-MJ

Display Dynamic Columns in Crystal Report

Hello,
We are currently using Crystal Reports XI and connecting to an ADO .NET XML file as our data source. In this data souce we have a data table called IDENTIFIERS where every column, except for the ones used for joining tables is dynamic. These column will be different for each database thats its run against.
Is there any way to display these dynamic columns without having consistent column names?
You help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

Thanks Carl,
We do have control over the data table and a solution like this had crossed my mind. But this might not be practical for other reports that use this data table.
I think another solution would be to create a new data tabl that has all identifiers on their own row as opposed to columns.
id
dentifier
identifier_name

Code changes for BOE XI R2 from Crystal Reports XI Server R2

I'm using a Crystal Reports Server XI R2 server currently for hosting my development reports. But my production server is going to be Business Objects Enterprise Professional XI R2.
What will be changes that I need to ponder?

You will need to upgrade XIR2 to XI 3.1 if you intend to import reports from CRS 2008. As the message states reports cannot be imported from new to older versions only the other way is supported from older to new, or from the same version to the same version.

Tim

Changing the data source of a Crystal Report

Post Author: starmizzle
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
We're running a trial of BusinessObjects XI Release 2 to see if it fits our needs.
We were told that we could import and publish our existing Crystal Reports and then later on go back and change their data sources to point to new universes as they're built.
So I've published a simple Crystal Report that I can run and modify through Infoview. And I've created a universe with the appropriate fields and calculations that it needs. So how do I force my published report to use the new universe as its data source instead of the system DSN it had when it was made?

Hi,
Put an image field in your report, then change the image’s Graphic Location:
right click the image, select Format Graphic, select Picture tab, click the conditional-formula button that look like a x2 and set the formula’s text to
the name of the formula or parameter field that will contain the image’s URL.
Save the formula and click the OK button. Save the report and test it.
Be carefull with the size of the image field. If this size is not equal to the image itself it could get resized.

Changing Datasource and New Aliases in CRystal Reports 11

I am in the process of converting from Crystal 7 to Crystal 11. In existing reports that have been saved in 11, I need to point to new tables. After pointing to a new table I get error messages saying that it does not know the fields used in the report and prompts me to change all the aliases in all the formulas and fields used on the report. I checked the documentation and it looks like I have to do this manually. In older versions, you could change the alias and it would go through and make all the changes in the formulas and fields.Could it be possible that a new version has removed a great feature?? Not only did I have to manually change the aliases - but doing so removed all the field names from the report - very annoying!! I have several reports where new tables are being used and will have to be changed and this task could be a disaster. Has anyone encountered this or know of a way around it?? Thanks,Anne

It took me a while, but I figured it out. Click on Database - Database Expert. The directions for changing the alias should be displayed (click the table name on the right and press F2).
