ClearQuest v.7.0.0.1 and using reference (or reference_list) fields on report

Post Author: adhiann
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I am trying to create a report using CR11 based on one of my ClearQuest records (recA). This record is has 2 reference fields, each pointing to 2 other record types (Rec B and Rec C). At any given time, only one or the other field will be populated.
TO create a report on RecA, I select the fields I want from the field list of RecA. I can also select recB and RecC's fields as the record types are associated and their fields show up as drill downs on the association fields on RecA.
since RecA can only be associated to either RecB or RecC at any given time, I wish to add field labels on the report format and then for the data use formula that if field 1 is not null, then use recB's headline value else use RecC;s headline value etc..
However, I am encountering blank reports when I use both recb and recC's association fields. I ran several tests with different combinations of using the reference fields and determined that if I add fields from both the reference fields (recB.headline, recB.description and recC.Headline and recC.Description), the report is blank. However, if I only have either recB's fields or recC's fields, the report returns data.
The query I am associating with this report doesn't have any reference field values as filters, its pretty simple and returns a decent amount of results. so I know the problem is with Crystal reports handling reference fields.
Is it not possible to use more than one reference (or reference_list) field on a report? If it is possible, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Nandita

and therefore in this forum with minor chances to get an answer.
regards
Peter

  • Calling a stored procedures and using its output parameters in a report

    Hi,,
    I have a procedure defined in a package on the database. This procedure returns a number of output parameters. How do I call this procedure and use the output parameters in my report ?
    Thanks, Mark

    Depends on the level at which the procedure has to be called. If its at report-level, call the Form in the BEFORE-REPORT-trigger (or AFTER-PARAMFORM) and store the out-values in Placeholder-columns. These you can use anywhere in your report.

  • IMPR tble and using IM12 to update fields

    Hi all,
    I need to add few fields(5 custom fields and a few more fields from PRPS table) into the IMPR table using transactin IM12. (I will create a CI_ structure with these fields and append it to the IMPR table)
    The thought process is to add a menu item like "Addnl. Customer Fields" in the transaction IM12 (somewhere in the detail screen)I could not locate any user exit in the program.
    Please let me know, if any suggestions on how to address this.
    Thanks,
    Ani

    those 2 are the only ways to modify the code as far as i know.
    yes i have read what u have written and if use field update method soon u update one field it will show all the fields in in the field browser .
    that why if u want to update it without error u can double click on code in field browser and it will open the form field in the template automatically.
    else copy your code to a new word document and update your code their using update method in field browser and paste the code in your orginal once the update for the code is done.

  • Using Reference Cursor Performance Issue in Report

    Hi,
    Are reference cursor supposed to be faster than a normal query? The reason why I am asking is because I am using a reference cusor query in the data model and it has a performance issue on the report, it's taking quite a while to run than If I just run the same reference cursor query in sql*plus. The difference is significantly big. Any input is very much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Marilyn

    From the metalink bug 4372868 on 9.0.4.x. It was fixed on 10.1.2.0.2 and does not have a backport for any 9.0.4 version.
    Also the 9.0.4 version is already desupported. Please see the note:
    Note 307042.1
    Topic: Desupport Notices - Oracle Products
    Title: Oracle Reports 10g 9.0.4 & 9.0.4.x
    Action plan:
    If you are still on 9.0.4 and later version of oracle reports and have no plan yet to migrate to 10.1.2.0.2 version use the same query you are using in your reference cursor and use it as a plain SQL query in your reports data model.

    Hi ,
    Decalring the Varible :
    <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'var', 0)?>
    Do the calculation :
    <?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'var', xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'var‘)+ XML columnname)?>
    Display the Variable :
    <?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'var')?>
    Declare the varaible before your loop starts.Do the calculation part inside the loop so for each row it will be updated.
    Display the results where you want using the form field and place the display varaible syntax.
    Hope this will helpful for you.
    Thanks,

  • Creating a column link and using a date/time field as one of the Items

    I have created an Interactive Report and set up a column link to another page. One of the Items in the column link is a Date field. When I click on the link I receive 'ORA-01403: no data found' for the linked page. In the Session attributes only DD-MON-YYYY HH24 passed and MI (minutes) was truncated... causing the error. I have created the same link on a Non-Interactive Report, DD-MON-YYYY HH24MI gets passed and the link works. Anyone have any clues on why the full date/time format is not being passed?
    The Item on the linked page has been set to Date Picker (DD-MON-YYYY HH24MI)
    Application Date Format is DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI

    Hi,
    As David says colon is separator in URL for parameters.
    This is same kind of post about problem about comma. Values are separated by comma in URL. It might help you

  • How to create a stored procedure and use it in Crystal reports

    Hi All,
    Can anyone explain me how to create a stored procedure and use that stored procedure in Crystal reports. As I have few doubts in this process, It would be great if you can explain me with a small stored proc example.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you are using MSSQL SERVER then try creating a stored procedure like this
    create proc Name
    select * from Table
    by executing this in sql query analyzer will create a stored procedure that returns all the data from Table
    here is the syntax to create SP
    Syntax
    CREATE PROC [ EDURE ] procedure_name [ ; number ]
        [ { @parameter data_type }
            [ VARYING ] [ = default ] [ OUTPUT ]
        ] [ ,...n ]
    [ WITH
        { RECOMPILE | ENCRYPTION | RECOMPILE , ENCRYPTION } ]
    [ FOR REPLICATION ]
    AS sql_statement [ ...n ]
    Now Create new report and create new connection to your database and select stored procedure and add it to the report that shows all the columns and you can place the required fields in the report and refresh the report.

    There is an application report that give you a listing of your region source and allows you to search the source and gives you links to edit it.
    Application Reports>Page Components>Search Region Source
    So you shouldn't have to keep it in a separate file.

    I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
    You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots.  Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
    See Pondini's page for more explanation:   What are Local Snapshots?   http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
    You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.  
    The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library.  Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.
