Viewing Report created in Crystal Report Designer

Hi,I'm new to CR4E and tries to work with existing report. I saw many error while trying this, please excuse me to the long email below that I explain all the errors I saw......I have some reports that were created in Crystal Report Designer (CR XI Release 2) connecting to the Oracle Database using "Oracle Server" type connection. How can I access it from CR4E? I have the following problem (in the order I see them)1) In the Eclipse's JSP page, I specified the full path to the report, but I get a report not found error. Must the report locate within the project? Is there any way we can open a report outside of the project?2) I copied the report to the project, a) followed jrc_print_report example to print the report, get "JNDI name not found" error. b) then generate a viewer page, but I get the Driver "crdb_oracle.dll" is not supported error.3) I setup the new JNDI followed the jrc_changedatasource.jsp example to change the datasource, but I still get the "JNDI name not found" error.4) I imported the report intoEclipse and changed the connection. Then I can create a jsp page to print it to a printer (I still can't view it, but my goal is to print, so that's ok). However, a) the original report has a "Command" object from the Oracle database to control where to select the report's data, when I remap, this object disappear and I cannot see how to recreate it. Any suggestion? b) also, the report is very complex with many subreports and it will be nightmare to go in and change all of the datasource, also a maintenance nightmare to maintain two copies. Any better suggestions?Thank you very much! Your help is very appreciated.Celia

Hi Celia
1. Yes the Java Reporting Component (JRC) which is the runtime component of the Crystal Reports for Eclipse can open reports outside the project.Â Â Its often better to have the reports inside the project for deployment purposes but you are welcome to put the report where ever you need it.Â
Note: To use absolute paths, ensure that the CRConfig.xml file does not contain a reportlocation tag.
2. The JRC can't report off of Oracle directly, you would need to use a JDBC driver to connect your reports to Oracle.Â The crdb_oracle.dll will never connect because its not Java.Â
3. When the JRC finds that the report is not using a supported database driverÂ it will do a lookup to find the name of the report datasource.Â When it finds the datasource name it will then do a JNDI lookupÂ for a JDBC datasource with theÂ same name.Â If your Application server doesn't have a datasource with that name it will through the error you were seeing.Â
4. I'm not sure about losing the Command object when changing the datasource but this is probably happening because the Command is linked to the database driver.
5. What you could try doing is creating a JDBC Datasource on your application server where this app will run with a JNDI name thatÂ matches your report datasource name.Â If your reports datasource name is "MyOracleDatasource" then I believe the JNDI name for new JDBC Datasource would have to be "jdbc/MyOracleDatasource".
You could give this a try.

Create a mobile application for view BW reports.

I want to create a mobile application with MDK for viewing BW reports. It is possible ?

Hello,
I have a similar kind of requirement here.
I need to show BW data on wireless device...via Portal.
This BW data is a query, which is created using WAD.
In normal case, we just use the SAP BW Report iView, stick the Bex query in it and its all done. But in this case....how am to go about this...?
Ive read about Mobile WebDynpro but want to know that....Mobile Web Dynpro is an oline approach, does it mean that user will be able to drill down from the Bex query??
Awaiting Reply.
Thanks and Warm Regards,

Creating P&L report with Time dimension view ( Period , HTD, YTD )

Hi
I have a requirement to create P&L report that will Time dimension view ( Period , HTD, YTD ). I guess the original report was created with hyperion tool now they want the same in BO report.
Is this technically possible with BEX since there is no standard time object for YTD and HTD. I know in BPC there are ready made objects.
does any one know how I can create this solution with BEX.
thanks
Bhat

Hi,
It is possible in BEx. You would need to create variables of type customer exit and write code to realize YTD, etc. Check the forums for documents and sample code.

Unable to Create a QBE report based on View

I have a view which is based on 4 tables.
The view by itself works fine.When I create a QBE report based on that view it gives the
ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from a join view without a key-preserved table (WWV-11230).
I am not able to understand what I'm doing wrong.Please help!
Thanks,
Hyma.

Its simple if its a view on one table, but you have a view based on 4 tables. That is what makes it complicated and the need for special set up and a little research. I don't remember what all goes into it, but I do recall that its not just as simple as creating the view.

Creating a custom report with detailed header and then associated detail

I am very new to CRMOD, so this question may be basic, but I have not found any good material yet to help me out, so here goes.
We are trying to create a Quote report that will be sent to our customers. The report needs to have both a header and detail section basically as follows:
<Header>
Quote Form
Date:
Expiration Date:
Sales Person Name:
Customer Name and address
Terms
... some other text data ...
<Detail>
Standard fields that define the quote, these are easy.
What I cannot determine how to do is create the header section. In the report designer, it only allows for a Title, logo, and another text line. Can anyone suggest another method?

I do not have the narrative option.
Options available are:
Title
Table
Chart
Pivot Table
Gauge
Active Filters
legend
Advanced
--> Column Selector
--> View Selector
--> Funnel Chart
--> Ticker
According to the documentation, the narrative view should be available from the advanced menu. Am I on a different package by chance?

Hi,
check in your Report definition if there's a parameter defined as Type MENU but without a corresponding LOV.

Best ways to create rpd or reports if we have data in more fact tables

I have fact and dimensional data in one or more different tables. Then each logical table source represents one data segment.Please suggest me some methods or ways like fragmentation through which i can use them in creating rpd and report and main problem here is facts too large contains 25 million records.But adding tables in BMM layer effecting performance so can anyone other ways doing it in database side.
Thanks in advance
Edited by: user2989722 on Dec 3, 2009 3:09 PM

hi,
For the fragmentation you can create on dimension .The procedure is clearly explained in this blog
http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/01/fragmentation-in-obiee.html
http://www.rittmanmead.com/2007/06/19/obiee-data-modeling-tips-2-fragmentation/
For the performance point of view you can create a Materialized view (based on columns that your report is using) so that it will hit that particluar view instead of hitting whole table(25million records table) please look into this post
Re: Materialized views in OBIEE

Not able to view any report in BI Publisher 11g

Hello All
I have installed BI Publisher 11g in Intel Solaris 10. I started of from the scratch, created a Data Model, then created a Report. but now I am not able to view the report. Upon clicking the report name or Open it logs me out.
I am logged in as user, weblogic the default user created while installation.
Please help
Ash

Hi Rony,
You may have created the report initially with Web Layout only - therefore there will no paper layout.
To 'get' the paper layout back, select your Report module name from the Builder and then select Tools-->Report Wizard. Select 'Create both web and Paper Layout' and then go through the various wizard steps.
Best of Luck.

John

How to create the Updateable Report

Hi,
I have a requirement to create a Updatable report.
I don't find any option of creating that..when I go create Page, I find only SQL Report or Interactive Report.
Want to know
- if there is any documentation for creating Updatable report..I mean step by step process.
- report is having 10 fields and user want only 4-5 fields to be updated.
- Can we create updatable Report for SQL query based on 2-3 tables, I mean joins
- How the fields are getting updated..if we have to write the update statement manually or updating is done automatically.
- can the updatable fields be updatable/read only based on user. (I mean suppose user1 logins, he can update the description field but when user2 logins..he cannot update decription field..he can only view the filed as a norma report column)
Appreciate if some one can provide me the details..
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Deepak
Rather than looking in reports go to create a Form and select Tabular Forrm - this is essentially just an updateable form and should get you started.
Cheers

How to create a custom Report in SAP CRM using the Bol Framework

Hi Guys
I have developed a report in SE38 which calls a custom Function Module within it and it works all good.
Now I want to take my Function Module as well as the external structures I created for this report and use them to make a View in SAP CRM which will allow the user to make selection and then when they click on a button another view has to be shown which should have the content of the report based on the selection.
I know how to create a view based on the standard object types but this time I want to use my custom function Module..
Kindly advice or refer me to a link that might be useful.
