Convert BI query into Crystal Report

Dear Sir,
I have drawn a structure in BI query onto Crystal Report,
my question is that, can I delete one single field from this structure on Crystal Report ?
'cause when I tried to delete one single field, the whole structure is deleted.
In addition, can I change the field name(text/description) on Crystal Report ?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best Regards,
Girai

Hi,
in Crystal Reports you can still decide which parts of the underlying query you would like to use in the report.
in case you mean a actual structure in the BW query and having 2 structures overall, one of the structures becomes rows of data in your report and you could if required filter it out.
In terms of texts - you can for sure create your own headings.

Complete novice needs help getting SQL Query into Crystal Reports XI

Post Author: MissMarnie
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
So I was given an intro level web course and a monster reference guide in prep to format a report. One of our developers wrote me everything I need for the report into a SQL Query and now I'm supposed to format it in CR XII literally do not know what to do from here. I'm able to set up the correct server as a datasource, if that's useful, but I don't know how to make the querey into a bunch of formattable fields in CR. If anyone can walk me through this, I'd be so grateful. I've attempted to look up SQL query in both the help and the book but I keep hitting a wall. The help dialog says things like "press this button" with no reference to what "this button" is. I'm sure it's obvious to the knowledgeable but I'm in a complete fog. Thanks in advance

IF you're trying to get assistance with setting up a query as the source for a report, try posting your Crystal version and the database type.
Different software works differently.
In CR 9 and above, under the connection to the database you'll see Add Command. Select that and you can paste the query in.
As for not knowing how to generate a report, that requires experience, there's no generic solution of course..

Convert abap reports into crystal reports

Hi,
We are trying to convert abap reports into crystal reports.We could convert these reports into XML files
Now we want to create utility which will automate the conversion of XML files into RPT files of crystal reports.Later on we can refresh the data in reports by changing the datasource location.
Can you please guide us whether it is possible and if yes how should we go about it?
regards,
shital

Hi, i suggest, 2 technies to do this, the first one, you can use,
CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE
EXPORTING
    APPLICATION            = 'C:\Program Files\crystalreports.exe'
EXCEPTIONS
    CNTL_ERROR             = 1
    ERROR_NO_GUI           = 2
    BAD_PARAMETER          = 3
    FILE_NOT_FOUND         = 4
    PATH_NOT_FOUND         = 5
    FILE_EXTENSION_UNKNOWN = 6
    ERROR_EXECUTE_FAILED   = 7
    SYNCHRONOUS_FAILED     = 8
    NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI   = 9
    OTHERS                 = 10.
where, exe file could be, a crviewer.exe, and, use a parameters ( on exe ) to indicate rpt file, or, define of standar mode, a generic name and put, xml file generated via abap, on a repository, this way, rpt file, when launched, displaying file.
the second choice, could be, go SM69, click create. enter a command name 'ZCREXE', enter the path and the exe file name in operating system command field. You can call this exe from ABAP using SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.
i hope so that my answers help you.
greetings.

Gira,
You want my advise?
Why convert from BI to BO ?
Create in BO directly. Create new. That saves a lot of trouble.

Help with SQL query into Crystal

Afternoon all,
I am trying to convert the following SQL query into Crystal by using the tables given in the query however the relationship given in the query is bit awkward, in a sense that I cannot create a relationship under Crystal desgin.
Here is the query
select count(order_progressed.order_no),reason_code
from order_progressed,lab_reasons, rework_groups
where
order_progressed.date_created=Today
and (order_progressed.order_status=from_gate
and lab_reasons.reason_code between from_reason and to_reason)
group by lab_reasons.reason_code
order by 2
We have three tables
1: Order_Progressed
2: Lab Reasons
3: Rework_Groups
Order_progressed can be linked with rework_group by Status (if you see the line order_progressed.order_status=from_gate)
However how to link the following line?
lab_reasons.reason_code between from_reason and to_reason
I mean when I try to link it by Lab Reasons.Reason Code to From_reason, to reason, it doesn't seem to work.
The report is grouped by Lab Reasons. Reason Code, so I really have to some how create a relationship between Lab Reasons table and Rework_Group table.
This is what I get when I run the same query into Crystal using the relationship
SELECT lab_reasons.reason_code, order_progressed.date_created, order_progressed.order_no
FROM maxmast.lab_reasons lab_reasons, kevin.order_progressed order_progressed,
roger.rework_groups rework_groups
WHERE (order_progressed.order_status=rework_groups.from_gate) AND
((lab_reasons.reason_code=rework_groups.from_reason) AND
(lab_reasons.reason_code=rework_groups.to_reason)) AND (order_progressed.date_created>={ts
'2008-01-01 00:00:00'} AND order_progressed.date_created<={ts '2008-12-17 00:00:00'})
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Kind Regards
Jehanzeb

Sastry I didn't understand why did you use Lab_reasons.reason_code twice in your SQL.
What I have done since I posted this thread,
I created a command like this
Select *
from rework_groups,lab_reasons
where
lab_reasons.reason_code between from_reason and to_reason
Then I took out the lab_reasons table and rework_groups table, then I linked the order_status from Order_progressed table to From_gate of the newly created table (I called it Reason_Code).
This made the report running but it is crunching quite allot of numbers. I wonder if I made a mistake somewhere?
Oh and please note, I'd like to create an SQL (if need be) without the date entry which was done in the original SQL because I'd like to setup my own date range within Crystal Reports instead of getting passed by SQL itself.
This is how it looks like in Crystal now.
sae1_live
SELECT order_progressed.date_created, order_progressed.order_no, order_progressed.order_status
FROM kevin.order_progressed order_progressed
WHERE (order_progressed.date_created>={ts '2008-01-01 00:00:00'} AND
order_progressed.date_created<={ts '2008-12-17 00:00:00'})
EXTERNAL JOIN order_progressed.order_status={?sae1_live: Reason_Code.from_gate}
sae1_live
Select *
from rework_groups, lab_reasons
where lab_reasons.reason_code between from_reason and to_reason
EXTERNAL JOIN Reason_Code.from_gate={?sae1_live: order_progressed.order_status}

Modify SQL query in Crystal Reports 2013

Bonjour,
Je voulais savoir s'il était possible de modifier la requête SQL dans Crystal Reports 2013, car les bases de données de notre application pour bibliothèque utilise un format de date particulier qu'il nous faut corriger directement dans la requête SQL.
Merci pour vos informations.
Cordialement

Hello,
I wanted to know if it was possible to modify the SQL query in Crystal Reports 2013. Databases of our application library indeed use a particular date format that we need to fix directly into the SQL query.
Thank you for your information.
Best regards
Claude Marcilly

Hi Claude,
If you are creating reports using tables then go in Database menu and click on show SQL query, this will show the SQL generated by crystal reports. Now go in database expert and expend your connection and double click on Add Command and past the query which was generated by Crystal and try to modify the date format and click OK.
Now you need to redesign your reports based on Add command.
or
If your reports datasource is Add command you can directly go in add command and change it.

Help required in embedding flash file object into Crystal Report file.

Hello,
      I use the default version of Crystal Report (i.e.'Crystal Report Basic For Visual Studio 2008 - version 10.5' ) which is the part of 'Visual Studio 2008', to create and display the Report. Further, as a requirement, I have to show 'Event Video' into the Report. But, as this default version of Crystal Report does not support Flash File, I uninstalled it and downloaded and installed the 30 days trial version of the Crystal Report (i.e. Crystal Report 2008 - version 12.0).
      Then, I created a new Crystal Report File using 'Crystal Report 2008 Designer', embedded the video as a Flash File(i.e. SWF file) into it. Now, when I add this newly created Crystal Report File into my sample application, which is created using VS 2008, it does not shows the embedded video.
      So, can anybody please tell me, how can I embed the Flash File into Crystal Report, so that it will be visible in the sample application?
I would like to appreciate your help and support.
Thanks,
-Yogesh.

Hi,
Depends on datasource type but you could have a look at ODBC trace or if you have access to the SQL Server you could use profiler to monitor the session.

Error when opening a BW query with Crystal Reports

Hi all,
I am having problems when opening a BW query with Crystal Reports, the strange thing is that it only happens with
the bo user I have created. If I use a user that already exists and that has SAP_ALL authorization it works.
I don't know if this could be an authorizations issue, but I have created a role with all the authorizations stated in the manual.
The error I am getting is the following:
"An error occurred while generating a new report template. Error in UNKNOWN.RPT file"
Does anyone know what this could be?
Thanks

Well,
I cannot access the system now. But I think it is not an issue of authorization, because I assigned all the good user's role to the bo user,
and even with that, it still don't work.
Thanks

Select Query in Crystal Report

Dear all,
I have a report to be developed in which i have to fire more than 2 select quires. I am adding this quires in "Add Command" window, it doesn't give any error but gives output of first query only.
I have tried to use multiple commands in report but the query fields are not having any common field in it so i am not able to link it.
Is there any other way to use more than one query in crystal report?
Thanks in advance.
Ashish Tambe

Dear Charles,
I am willing to develop a report in which i need to select diff data from diff table such as OOPR,ORDR,OINV and many more.based on diff conditions and it may happen that a query can give more than 2-3 records then i need to make summation for that. On the basis of this summation and some more formulas in CR i need to make some conclusions.
This cannot be done in single query. so i need to fire more than one select query.

Ashish Tambe

Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports?

Hi Friends,
Can anyone send me a Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports? Pls help me. Thanks in Advance.
Vijay

It's also important to 'prep' the excel file prior to connecting to it.
Give the data tab a meaningful name
Make sure the column headers are unique and that every column has a header
Delete any blank tabs
If you have trouble with Excel changing the data type of a field (say, a social security number you want to be a string value rather than a number so you don't lose leading zero) an alternative would be to save the spreadsheet file as a CSV, create a schema.ini to specify the data types for each column (example below) and use the same steps to connect except instead of choosing Excel 8.0, scroll to the bottom and choose Text. You have to make sure the CSV file is in the same folder as the schema.ini file that defines the columns.
Schema.ini example:
200912PUSD.csv
ColNameHeader=True
Format=CSVDelimited
MaxScanRows=25
CharacterSet=OEM
Col1=SSN Char Width 9
Col2=LAST_NM Char Width 25
Col3=FIRST_NM Char Width 25
Col4=DOB Date
Col5=STDNT_ID Char Width 10
Col6=SORTKEY Char Width 10
Col7=SCHOOL_NM Char Width 30
Col8=OTHER_ID Integer
Col9=GRADE Char Width 2
The filename in the first line needs to have the [] brackets around it, but I couldn't get it to display in this forum correctly.

How to enable show SQL Query in Crystal report tool

Hi,
How can we enable the show SQL Query under Database tab in crystal report...
We have a requirement to modify the SQL query in Crystal reports.
Thanks,
Gana

Gana,
CR has an "Add Command" feature that will allow you to use hand-coded SQL as your data source.
Look at Defining an SQL Command in CR's online help (F1).
If a command was used in the original report creation, it's a simple matter to go in and edit that SQL.
If the report was not originally built w/ a Command you may find it difficult to switch over. In most cases it easier to start over from scratch, creating a new, blank report, that uses the command.

Query regarding Crystal Reports Server

Hi,
I am new to Crystal Reports.
I have created a couple of .rpt files using CR2008 and I am loading these report files in my aspx pages using CrystalReportViewer control.
I am planning to host my webApp on IIS in production environment. Maximum simultaneous/concurrent connections to my reports would be 1 or 2.
My question is:
1. Do I need Crystal Reports Server in this scenario?
2. In future if the number of concurrent users to report increases then do I need to go for Crystal Reports Server? Will just buying and installing the Crystal reports server on production server work? or will I have to do some configuration or some other changes in the existing deployed reports? OR Will I have to deploy my existing reports on Crystal Report Server again?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Manish
