Creating report with Subreports

I am creating a report with two subreports and am getting an error. The error is Error source: Error code:0x80070057 I can;t seem to figure out what is prompting this and it comes up when I try to preview the report. Can anyone please help?

Hi Jeff,
I did not find any specific description of the error, but previous incidents research tells me that it could be related to parameter prompt. Do you have any parameters in your report? How many, what type?
You may try to locate the problem:
1. Is it possible to temporarily delete some parameters?
2. Are your subreports linked using parameters?
3. You have three reports (main and two subs). Run each report separately to make sure they work fine.
4. Run main report with one sub
5. Try unlinked subreports
More tests should help us better understand the situation.

Create Report with CR4E and XML Data Source

Hi all,
I have a problem when create a report with CR4E that should use a XML data source. It is not possible to choose fields from the field explorer, because ther are no fields from the XML-file. Is there a general problem when using an ODA data source in CR4E? At the moment I can only create reports with a database as data source.
Please help me with a tip.
Thanks
Arnold

Hi,
After Installing CR4E Version 2 the code snippet for creating a XML-report not works as JSP. Has anywhere a hint to resolve the problem or a complete JSP-file?
reportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();

Changing database server on a report with subreports = formula error

Good morning,
I currently have several reports that print out, and were developed attached to our development database. However, I need to be able to dynamically change the server that the report uses according to the server configured in our application. Each of these reports contains one or more subreports, which point to the same server and database as the main report. All reports, both the main and subreports, are based on manual SQL commands.
I'm running into some significant issues. So significant, in fact, that we were forced to deploy our application with reports that had been switched to our production environment in the designer in order to get them functional. This is, obviously, not an acceptable or long-term solution.
I've gone round and round a couple of times I get different results with different methods of changing this information. I'll outline them below. First, my current code:
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
                TableLogOnInfo logOnInfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
                Console.WriteLine("Report \"{0}\"", report.Name);
                foreach (Table table in report.Database.Tables)
                    logOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
                    connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo(logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo);
                    connectionInfo.ServerName = "panthers-dev";
                    connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Prosys";
                    logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                    //table.Location = "Prosys.dbo." + table.Location.Substring(table.Location.LastIndexOf(".") + 1);
                    table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo);
                    table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                    Console.WriteLine("\t\"{0}\": \"{1}\", \"{2}\", \"{3}\", {4}", table.Name, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName, table.Location, table.TestConnectivity());
                foreach (Section section in report.ReportDefinition.Sections)
                    foreach (ReportObject ro in section.ReportObjects)
                        if (ro.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
                            SubreportObject sro = (SubreportObject)ro;
                            ReportDocument subreport = report.OpenSubreport(sro.SubreportName);
                            Console.WriteLine("\tSubreport \"{0}\"", subreport.Name);
                            foreach (Table table in subreport.Database.Tables)
                                logOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
                                connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo(logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo);
                                connectionInfo.ServerName = "panthers-dev";
                                connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Prosys";
                                logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                                //table.Location = "Prosys.dbo." + table.Location.Substring(table.Location.LastIndexOf(".") + 1);
                                table.ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo);
                                table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                                Console.WriteLine("\t\t\"{0}\": \"{1}\", \"{2}\", \"{3}\", {4}", table.Name, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName, table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName, table.Location, table.TestConnectivity());
Using this approach, my console output prints what I expect and want to see: the correct server and database information, and True for TestConnectivity for all reports and subreports. The two reports I have that have no subreports print out correctly, with data from the proper server. However, all of the reports with subreports fail with formula errors. If this procedure is not run, they work just fine on either server.
I had to place the assignment of table.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo after the call to ApplyLogOnInfo, as that function did not behave as expected. If I perform the assignment first (or not at all), then calling ApplyLogOnInfo on the outer report's table did NOT affect the values of its ConnectionInfo object, but it DID affect the values of the ConnectionInfo object's of its subreports!
In any event, if anyone could post a code sample of changing database connection information on a report containing subreports, I would appreciate it.
Any help is greatly appreciated and anxiously awaited!

Hi Adam,
Code for changing database connection information on a report containing subreports :
private ReportDocument northwindCustomersReport;
    private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
        northwindCustomersReport = new ReportDocument();
        string reportPath = Server.MapPath("NorthwindCustomers.rpt");
        northwindCustomersReport.Load(reportPath);
        ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
        connectionInfo.ServerName = "localhost";
        connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "Northwind";
        connectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity = false;
        SetDBLogonForReport(connectionInfo, northwindCustomersReport);
        SetDBLogonForSubreports(connectionInfo, northwindCustomersReport);
        crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = northwindCustomersReport;
    private void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
        ConfigureCrystalReports();
    private void SetDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, ReportDocument reportDocument)
        Tables tables = reportDocument.Database.Tables;
        foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in tables)
            TableLogOnInfo tableLogonInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
            tableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
            table.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogonInfo);
    private void SetDBLogonForSubreports(ConnectionInfo connectionInfo, ReportDocument reportDocument)
        Sections sections = reportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections;
        foreach (Section section in sections)
            ReportObjects reportObjects = section.ReportObjects;
            foreach (ReportObject reportObject in reportObjects)
                if (reportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
                    SubreportObject subreportObject = (SubreportObject)reportObject;
                    ReportDocument subReportDocument = subreportObject.OpenSubreport(subreportObject.SubreportName);
                    SetDBLogonForReport(connectionInfo, subReportDocument);
Hope this helps!!

Primary key when creating reports with forms

I'm new to APEX and I'm creating a report with forms using the wizard. I've checked the 'Include Analysis Pages' checkbox. When I select the 'add pages' button I get the following message:
Table has no primary keys defined. A primary key is required when creating reports with forms.
I know that the table does have a primary key because I defined it and also it is visible in the Sql workshop / Object browser and Toad.
Am I missing something or is this some sort of bug?
thanks
sb

You're missing something. This message means you've not told APEX what the primary key is. You shouldn't have been able to get passed the page in the wizard that asks for it though. Can't describe where it prompts for it from memory, but it shouldn't be hard to find.

Originally the stored procedure had the last parameter as an integer. I tried everything with the formulas, CDBL(1.00) ToNumber(1.00) 1.00 1 hoping it just wasn't recognizing that the value needed to be a number but nothing worked. I changed the stored procedure to require a VARCHAR for the last parameter, updated the report and it worked for me.

Crystal Report with subreports breaks when running on different databases.

HI there
I have a report with 5 subreports on that only works on the database I am designing it on. As soon as I run the report through my application on a database different to the one I design on, it seems to have lost all the parameter fields I created in one of the subreports (the one I have just added, the other 4 work fine) used to link to the main report.
It then pops up with the Parameter Value box and asks for values for 2 parameters that I do not use to link to the subreport, nor have added to the subreport in design time, and in code when I step through the parameterfields list property, the parameters I added in design time to the subreport are not in the list but somehow these 2 parameter fields have been added to the subreport? These 2 parameters have the same names as some main report parameters which have been set already, but as mentioned these somehow now belong to the subreport.
When I run the report through my app on the database I design on all parameters are present and the report works fine.
The parameters in the subreport are all command parameters, linking to a command field, a formula field and another non-command parameter in the main report. All these are set and work fine in the main report.
I set all the parameter values in code to the main report, and the subreports all use those to link to.
I am using CR v10.2 with VB2008 using .NET 2.0 framework (although I had similar problems in VB2005), where the report links directly to a SQL databse via commands. There are 4 commands in the main report and one in the problematic subreport. The subreports command incudes a SQL "IF" statement based on one of the parameters I am linking from the main report.
Please let me know if more info is required.
Thanks.

Hello, Eugen;
I understand you are using Visual Studio .NET 2008 with bundled Crystal Reports Basic for 2008 (10.5). Do you have a full version of Crystal Reports you use to design reports with or are you designing inside Visual Studio .NET?
I would like to suggest some ways to test and narrow down the issue.
One subreport appears to be changing the parameters used when the underlying database changes. Is there a change in the Command it is based on?
Create a simple report using the same command and the same database as is used in the problem subreport. Run it to confirm you get the same data as in the original.
Now in design, go into Database|Set Datasource location and change to the new datasource. Do a Database|Verify database. Do you see the change in parameter fields you are seeing at runtime? Has the Command changed? Does it run through the application?
If you see the same change there, it will have to be addressed in the designer first. If it runs well there, let us look further at the application.
What is the order of your code?
   Open main report
   Logon to database
   Pass parameters
   Open each subreport
   Logon to the database
   Pass parameters
   View the report.
Do you set all database locations before passing parameters?
Were any of the parameters created as "NULL" in the designer?
Once I have the answers to these questions we can look a little further.

Login error with report viewer when opening Crystal report with subreport

Hi
I have a problem with a login error (database vendor code 18456) when I try to open a crystal report to view it.
The report uses data from an external payroll database but I'm running it via our Accounts system (it's a convenient front end for users to run the report from). This works fine for another report that doesn't have any subreports. However when I run the Crystal report that has subreports, the report generation process works but when the crystal reports viewer tries to open the report I get the login error. It doesn't seem to be passing the login details for the payroll database down to the subreport.
I'm using Crystal Reports version 11.0.0.1282. The Accounts system is Technology One. Tech One have provided a report template that has several formulas designed to allow Tech One to play nicely with Crystal. One of these formulas allows me to enter the nickname of the external database that the report needs to use. The external database's connection details are fully specified in the Tech One configuration section (server console). So in this case the report says use database U1 & the server console identifies U1 as being the payroll database, specifies the connection path & has the username & password required to logon to the payroll database/server.
The report is running ok & retrieving data, but for some reason the viewer is erroring. If anyone has any ideas for how I can get the login details used to run the main report to flow through to the subreport it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Sue

I understand your frustration. We can do a few things. But really, it should be Technology One contacting us. To use an analogy (which you are free to share with Technology One). They built a car and sealed the hood. You bought the car, but he engine does not quite run as it should. You bring the car to the mechanic and all he can do is look at the car as he can not even open the hood.
In any case, here is what I would do if I could open the hood (e.g.; if I was dealing with Technology One):
1) Look up database vendor code 18456. This is simply the error our print engine is receiving from the database client and it simply passes it through relatively unhandled. This you should be able to do your self or ask Technology One to tell you what that means.
2) Break out the subreport and see if it runs on it's own in the application (if this is a permissions issue - which I doubt - it should come up here too). Unfortunately, this is for Technology One to do...
3) Run the report (with the subreport) in the CR designer. Does it work there? If this is a win app and it works, we again eliminated permission issues. And we also confirmed that the report is good. Again, Technology One should do this for you.
BTW.; CR 11.0 is out of support - not sure if you or Technology One are aware of this...
4) Can the developer duplicate the issue on his development computer?
Now, there are couple of instances where you say something like; "the report works and gets data, but the viewer errors out":
+The report is running ok & retrieving data, but for some reason the viewer is erroring.
However when I run the Crystal report that has subreports, the report generation process works but when the crystal reports viewer tries to open the report I get the login error. +
How do you know the report is retrieving data? From the error I would say the report never connects, thus the error / request for a logon...
So, the short of all of this is; get Technology One to contact us. They can do it over the forums or obtain a phone case here;
http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/en_US/pd/productID.98078100
Now, here is a warning. As CR 11.0 is out of support Technology One will have to upgrade to CR 11.5, before that can create a phone case, which for them and you brings up another bunch of issues...
If you do not get any joy from the support person at you are talking to at Technology One, get him to escalate the issue. They are the ones that should be talking to us...

Webi Stucks while trying to create report with BW7.0 (WIS 10901)

Hello,
I have some problem about using data created from BW 7.0
1. After I try to drag more than one object to create report from webi and run the query, it got sutcked and appear error as below;
A database error occured. The database error text is: The MDX query SELECT { } ON COLUMNS , HIERARCHIZE( UNION( { [0GL_ACCOUNT INT].[INT 0HIER_NODE] } , { GENERATE ( { [0GL_ACCOUNT INT].[INT 0HIER_NODE] } , { Descendants( [0GL_ACCOUNT INT].CURRENTMEMBER, [0GL_ACCOUNT INT].[LEVEL01]) } ) } ) ) DIMENSION PROPERTIES PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM [$0ABC_C06] SAP VARIABLES [0DAT] INCLUDING 20080606 failed to execute with the error See RFC trace file or SAP system log for more details. (WIS 10901)
this error appears when I try to..
- create query with more than one object
- enable drill-down for the object and click the report to drill down
(This error appears the same in Voyager when drag objects into crosstab)
2. problems with displaying Thai language content created from BW, after I created object, thai content always appears as "######" event I change font to "tahoma", it returns the same result.
any expert could help me... thanks in advance
I use BOBJ XI 3.0, SAPBW 7.0
step:
1. Create universe connect to BW 7.0 and export universe
2. logon to infoview, choose universe to create report from webi
3. drag object and test drill down
and step for voyager
1. create voyager connection to SAP BW 7.0 use specified username and password
2. use voyager to create report
3. drag object into crosstab

Hello.
We have solved this issue. We tested our connection with MDX Parser in transaction SM59 and that resulted in errors. Then we applied SAP note 1032461 to replace an application server dll (librfc32u.dll). After this procedure, the WebIntelligence was able to run queries with more then 2 dimensions and key-figures!
Thanks for all.

Report with subreports. Web Service/XML problem. Please help!

Hi,
I have a composite report (main report with 9 subreports). The report uses web service as datasorce and is provided with single xml file containing the schema and all the tables for the main reports and its subreports.
The problem I encounter is that i have to establish a connection for each subreport in order to get it work and it is the same connection. Moreover, I have observed that each time a subreport is drilled there is distinct call to the web service.
So, i end up having a single .rpt file which makes up to 10 unnecessary calls over http just get the same xml data ???
I've tried everything to solve this problem without any success.
Option 1: Removing subreports. Not posible because main report can not handle multiple detail section separately.
Option 2: Using multiple detail section in main report and conditionally suppress rows. Not possible
Option 3: Removing datasource from subreports and pass array variables instead. Not posible
Option 4: Remove subreports and use crosstabs in main report. Not posible
Any ideas?
Please I would greatly appreciate any input, I am getting quite desperate about this.
Thank you very much.

How create report with data from table and some columns results function ?

Hi,
How can i create on apex report region with some columns (of the report) as returned from a table and the other columns as results of plsql functions ?
for example , I want to create a report like that:
device last_date error_msg stop/start
kodak1 06/04/08 null >>
kodak2 08/03/08 good msg --^--
kodak3 08/04/08 err msg >>
3 rows returned
where the 3 first columns are data returned from the table and the forth column is the result of plsql function (returned for example false) and on that i want to display a button of start ( >> in this example ) or stop ( --^-- in this example)

Thomas,
There is no problem here -- this is fully suported scenario.
1. Bind Table dataSource to Customers node.
2. Bind individual cell editors to any attribute of customer or any nested node like Address, say create column with InputField as editor, then for "value" property select Customer.Address.Street.
Your nested nodes (like Address) must be non-singleton, set singleton=false on context designer tab.

Create Report with Image on the backside of first page

Hi there,
I want to create a report with a header-section (including data and a barcode) and some data in the main section. The main section is diffing in length so that the report might be just one page or 4-5 pages or even more.
In addition I want to print an image on the backside of the first page.
The image exists in TIFF-Format and it should be printed in landscape, while the report itself is inmPortarit-Mode.
The report(s) should be printed automatically (without user-interaction).
Thanks for any ideas.

The reply could be a bit delayed and you might have got it working also.
All your requirtements are easily achieveable, you might want to look into the building reports samples and publishing reports documenation at

Creating report with multiple queries in clear quest

Hi,
I am new to reports and currently working with creating reports that connect to clear quest(CQ).
I have successfully created several reports, that connect to the CQ, but they all have data from only one query.
Now I am trying to create a slightly complex report where I need to fetch data from multiple queries. All these queries use 2 parameter to filter their data. I have dynamic cascading parameters to get them. When just connecting they all work ok. I used the link tab to link them to two fields of one query, to make sure that they all filter to fields from same query.
The problem is when I drop the fields from the various queries on the form, the data is fetched multiple times.
I also played with links to make them outer links but in that case I get error and unable to run the report completely.
Any ideas on how to work with multiple queries and provide same parameters to all of the queries?
Thanks in advance.
-PAP

- How do I make sure that the relationship is not one to many?
You don't. That's the nature of the data. For example a single person can order multiple items. A simple one to many relationship.
- In the link tab, I can only point to queries, is there a way I can point the fields to report params?
You should be seeing tables... I think you're having a tough time with the basic terminology.
- How does these Enforce Joins (4 options) work.
There is rarely if ever any reason to switch from the default "not enforced". Leave it alone. The only one you'll touch 90% of the time is the Join Type.
PAP,
Based on the questions you're asking, it sounds like you are missing some major database fundamentals. My suggestion would be to step away from CR for the time being and read a little bit about relational databases (what makes them relational) and database normalization. This will also give you an idea about the various join types and when to use one over the other.
You can know every feature and function in CR, but until you have at least a basic knowledge of how data relates, you'll never pull in the data you need.

Create report with filtered teststeps

Hello,
i am using TS3.5 and want to create a report with only selected teststeps included.
For this i created in my custom teststeos a container called "Config" and inside this container a
bool-parameter called "ShowIt".
Then i opended Teststand -> Configure -> Report-Options and set
"Result Filtering Expression" to "Config.AddIt == True"
When i run then the sequence i get a popup after finishing which says:
ActiveX Error
sCode = 0xffffbc66
Description: Unknown variable or property name "Config"
Error accessing item "Config".
But when i copy the parameter "AddIt" into Result.AddIt and change the
"Result Filtering Expression" to "Result.AddIt == True" then it works!
Why cant i use a custom container for this filtering?
The standard-teststand models stops then with Error in the TestReportCallback at teststep "Get Report Body (DLL)"
Thanks for your help.

Yes, this is enabled.
I attached the testsequence and a screenshot of the report-options.
In the sequence i copied the default "passfail-Test" and added there a container "Config" with a bool-variable "AddIt"
This new steptyp is then called twice in the mainsequence where the first call is AddIt == False and trhe second call AddIt ==True.
Then i changed the report-options as you can see in the attached screenshot.
But then i get the error-message.
What am i doing wrong here?
