Converting a Crystal Report with Many Sub-Reports into CF Report Builder

I am trying to rewrite a Crystal Reports report which has 11
subreports in CF Report Builder. In the CR report, each subreport
has it's own report footer seciton. I have not been able to find
anything in CF Report Builder that allows me to do the same. Is CF
Report Builder capable of producing a report with multiple
subreports?

Having successfully created a report with 5 or 6 subreports
(with each sub-report containing a multiple sub-sub reports) I can
say with confidence, "Yes you can." However the real question you
should ask is, "
Should I create a report with multiple sub-reports in CF
ReportBuilder?" And the answer to that is.... NO, WHAT ARE YOU
CRAZY!
If you have something that works in Crystal Reports I would
suggest you stick with that. Otherwise you're setting yourself up
for a lot of headaches. Now maybe it was because I started using
the report builder that came with MX7, but it seems there are still
quite of few bugs that will leave you shaking your fist at your
computer. If however you do continue and do the CF Report Builder
route, be prepared for your application to crash unexpectedly, and
for many things to not work they way you expect them to. And if you
ever need help good luck. Take the fact that you had difficulty
finding good documentation as a sign of how little Adobe supports
this product.
CF Report Builder is fine for very simple reports, but don't
get fancy with it, you'll only regret your decision in the
end.

  • Convert a scatter graph with multiple data series into individual graphs

    I am trying to convert a scatter graph with multiple data series into individual graphs, with the series having the same formatting as in the graph when all series are together.
    Normally, if I delete any series, the color scheme for all the other series vanishes. I can then waste more time in having to re-adjust the  color and shape of the series, but this is tedious. This, I do not want. Is there an automated way to do this?
    Ideally, of course, all series would appear in little subsections in the space of the former one graph, all with individual axes, but I can't have all, so I'll settle with having several individual new graphs, each with just one series, and with the original
    formatting.
    Thx.

    How about creating a copy of the chart, and then setting all series except one to be transparent (no line, no marker)? Repeat for each series.

  • How can I have Main report with a sub-report with in a sub-report??

    I have a main report that has about 5 subreports, almost like a dashboard.  I need to make one of those subreports contain another subreport.
    I don't have the option to add a sub-report with in my sub-report, so what I thought would work is remove my sub-report from my main report, then add my new sub-report, then add that report back to my main report.
    Everytime I add the sub-report that has a sub-report to my main report I lose the second sub.
    From what I've read on the internet is you can't have a sub-report contain another sub-report.  What some say is you can hyperlink that second sub report.
    When I setup my hyper link to open the second sub-report I'm prompted to re-enter my report parameters.
    Can some help me link a sub-report to a sub-report or show me how to pass a date range parameter in my hyper link so the reports just opens up?
    I'm using CR IX R2
    Thanks

    Nate,
    You are dealing with a product limitation.  Crystal cannot have nested subreports within a sub report. 
    You can generally use shared variables between sub reports to achieve your desired result

  • CR Server - Report with multiple sub reports prompts for SQL connection for

    I have a report published in CR Server. The Report has four subreports. When the report is run from CR Server, the initial SQL Server connection log in is automatically handled by the log in details in CR Server, but the report then prompts for SQL Server log in four times, presumably for each sub report.
    How can I get rid of these SQL login prompts?

    Yes - it looks like it might have been to do with the contents of the ".sqldeveloper" directory. Probably SQL Developer may have got confused with me running the same SQL on the same database under different users.
    We create a read-only user to carry out queries against the live schema. This read-only user has only select privileges and no insert/update/delete privileges.
    Thanks for the feedback

    eeekwhy don't you create 5 business view objects based on each of your dynamic promptsthis way you can share these parameters in other reports instead of having them all imbedded inside a single reportyou should also be able to schedule the list of values too so they will load faster

  • Interactive Reporting - Dragging a Pie Chart into a Report

    I have a report that contains about 5 charts at the end of all the tables containing data (the charts are in the report footer). I have created a new pie chart and want to drag it into the report footer as well. When I drag it in, it goes at the very beginning of the report footer. I have tried dragging it down and it seems to only want to stay on that very first page of the report footer. I am not able to move it onto a different page. How do I make this work? What I'd really like to do is add a new page in the middle of the charts and put this new chart on that new page ... but i couldn't figure out how to do that, so I was just going to drag the new chart to the very bottom of the other charts.
    Thanks.

    I had a case where I needed "extra" Report Footers. To do this I created bogus Report Group Columns in my results section with a constant value, same for all rows.
    I then used this as a Report Group in the Report Section. I turned off the Group Header and Turned On the Group Footer with a Page Break Before or After. If you have other Report Groups then you would need to make the Bogus Report Group Column before any of your business report groups.

  • Interactive report with detail sub-report on the same page

    Hi all,
    I'm fairly new to APEX, sorry if my question is too obvious. I'm using Apex 4.0.2 on top of Oracle 11.2.
    I have an interactive report listing the content of a table. Since there are many columns in that table I would the report to show only a few identifying columns and the complete record currently selected being displayed using another report in a separate region on the same page.
    The "Link Column" on the interactive report does almost that except that it jumps on another page; I would like to simply have a sub-report updated with the selected data instead of a new page displayed. Does anyone know how to do that?
    Thanks for your help,
    Chris

    Chris,
    this sounds like what I normally do in my referential data.
    I use the wizard to create "form with report"
    I make sure that both regions (the form and the report) will be set on the same page number
    then I check/change the order of the regions (report first, form second)
    then I set the form to display in column 2
    regards,
    Richard
    P.S. the report only shows enough columns to recognize the records. the form shows all records

  • Running Crystal report( with subreport)  from VB6 using CRAXDRT.Report

    The application (vb5 with CRAXDRT.Report version 11.5) works for more than 50 different reports.
    This special report has a subreport with 5 Link elements.
    Report works fine with Crystal XI. But when gets fired  from vb6 application, after 2 or 3 times
    (sometimes at the first time), application crashes with following error message pops up:
    vb6.exe-Application Error.
    Instruction at 0x0000000 referenced memory could not be "read"
    The link elements of subreports are:
    (MSP for Main report's stored proc, SSP for Subreport's stored proc)
    MSP . @Prior  -> SSP.@Prior
    MSP . @managerID -> SSP.@managerID
    MSP . @showall -> SSP.@showall
    MSP . officeid-> SSP.@officeid
    MSP . manager -> SSP.manager  (items with @ sign are Parameters)
    If I delete the last link element this error never happens !
    Any clue ?

    For starters, get the latest Service Pack for CR XI r2 from here:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100013876392008E/crxir2win_sp5.exe

  • CRVS2010 Beta - Report with many tables

    Hi,
    I was developing my application first with a test Database with few tables. Now that I am changing to the actual database (with about 200 tables) I noticed that the ReportDocument takes a really long time to load when I tried to access the DataDefinition for the first time.
    Is there one way to avoid this?? The tables are all there because I need to have the option the select the table that I wanna use in the application, but after this I just use the table chosen and the linked tables in the Report.
    thanks

    OK where to start...
    First the act of adding 200 tables, and I assume none of them are linked is the first problem you are going to have. CR is a relational database reporting tool. Not linking tables generates multiple SELECT statements.
    If you only need one or two then use RAS to add the tables and then the fields, Bascially you are creating the report designer for your users. All of the user interface needs to be created by you.
    There may be one option that could help but what you are doing is likely never going to be fast....
    Open regedit32.exe and go to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Crystal Reports Designer Component\DatabaseOptions
    In there you'll find a key called - DoAutoSmartLinking
    Set the value to No
    What that key does is when a report is open CR tries to link all tables and all fields.
    Good luck

  • Interactive Report with many columns scroll possibility?

    Hello,
    i have an interactive report that has many columns. As so they cannot fit into a page and a scroll bar is used in the bottom of screen, which is not a desired effect.
    What i would like to do (if it's possible) is to have a scroll bar before the pager. Up to now i have found a "fix" for this problem but after the pager and it does scroll the rendering of the report but the pagers' also. My solution is to put the following code in the Region Definition, in Header and Footer group, in Header:
    <style type="text/css">
    #apexir_DATA_PANEL {
    clear:both;
    width:1220px;
    height:650px;
    overflow:auto;
    </style>
    That was in 3.2. Is there any other option/possibility or idea now with 4.0 ?
    TIA

    Hi TIA,
    I hope that following link will help you in regards to your query:

  • Sum of average in report with many joins

    hello all.  i have read a few other threads that are similar to my situation but nothing i've found that helps my specific situation.  it is probably in part to my lack of expertise but i am pretty much a newbie here so go easy on me. 
    in summary, i have an employee table (em), a rooms table (rm), and an organizational hierarchy table (org_hier).  em and rm tables are joined on the building, floor, and room fields that are in each table.  org_hier table can be linked to either em or rm.
    basically i am just trying to take the average area of each room (rm.area). here may be multiple occupants in a room and i don't want rm.area to be counted more than once which is the reason for the average.  i then want a sum of that average at each level of the org hierarchy by using groups and a grand total at the end.  the trick is that i am only looking for rooms that house certain employees, restricted by the em.em_id.  that is the only reason for the em table being included.
    would you all suggest using subreports somehow or is there a SQL function that would work best?  let me know if i am being too vague here.  what should my joins be? 
    thanks in advance,
    js

    thanks Sharon.  i think i'm getting closer to what i need.
    should i use the same running total in each group or will i need to create a new running total for each grouping?  should the running total evaluate on each record and reset on change of rm.rm_id?  is a manual running total different? 
    right now i am getting the right values at the room level but it is totalling all records of the room area at the floor level, not just the one instance.
    i can email a screenshot if it is helpful.  thanks for your help so far!

  • SSRS report with tabular model – Create a dropdown report parameter with "None" option as the top value.

    Hello Everyone,
    I would like to create SSRS single select dropdown list parameter (it is using MDX query in dataset) with "None" option at the top. Note: this parameter is dependent parameter and getting filtered based on the selection of another parameter.
    How can I add hard-coded "None" text at the top of the parameter values? Can Union function help me to add this hard-coded value? The purpose is, when user selects None from the dropdown ignore the condition of the parameter from MDX query else
    use the selected value in query condition.

    Hi Ankit,
    In your scenario, you can achieve your requirement in report level other than in query. Add a Filter like:
    Expression: =IIF(Parameters!Name.Value="None",1,Fields!Name.Value)
    Operator:=
    Value: =IIF(Parameters!Name.Value="None",1,Parameters!Name.Value)
    In this case, report will ignore this parameter, and show all the records on the report when selecting “None” value. I have tested it on my local environment, the screenshots below are for you reference.

    Add a Filter to a Dataset (Report Builder and SSRS)
