Design option missing for Fluid Grid layouts (was:In dreamweaver CC, I created a new fluid grid page, but the options to edit the page...)

Hi, in dreamweaver CC, I created a new fluid grid page, but the options to edit the page are limited to code / split / live. The design optin is missing and I need it to move around the fluid grid to position my elements that I have created.
Thanks

Hi Raymi,
Like Ben suggested, you can vote for the feature using the link provided. From what I understand, the product team is collecting feedback on the limitations of Live View for FG layouts and improving experience on that front. It would help if you could provide a list of limitations with the current workflow.
Thanks,

Total No of pages different in report printed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8)

Currently in our application, we are using Crystal Report XI R2 for generating the reports. We are in the process of upgrading the Crystal Report to SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). I updated that on my machine and all the reports work fine. I didn't have to modify any of the reports.
However when comparing the reports, we found that there are few reports on which the total no. of pages differ from the report displayed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). Comparing the reports, it looks all the data that were fit on one page earlier with version XI R2 doesn't fit on the same page with version 13.8, thereby increasing the page counts.
The fonts, page margins everything set on report itself. Nothing being set in the code.
Both the application is using the same report that is pulling the data from the same database. Our application is a web application.
Any suggestion, why this is happening.
Thanks.
Sanjay

I am not sure what is being compared here?
CRXI R2 designer to CRVS?
CR XI R2 in some version of .NET to CRVS?
CR XI R2 using RDC SDK to CRVS?
Also, is this happening on your development computer or after you deploy?
If you compare the the "Page setup" options dialog between reports that work and those that do not work, do you see any difference?
Is this a web or a win app?
Are you seeing the same issue when viewing and exporting - say export to PDF?
What is the printer driver used and it's version?

Crystal Reports transport files for SAP APO / SCM

Hi there,
Problem: we want to use Crystal Reports on top of SAP APO / SCM and have some difficulties getting the definitions of BW / OLAP servers right and don't know which transports to import on the SAP to report with Crystal.
System is a SAP SCM system with APO module. There is a cube in this module (because there is some internal BW system) and I can see the cube in Crystal Reports. When I want to report from this cube I get an error:
"/CRYSTAL/MDX_GET_STREAM_INFO" not found.
This means some transport files were not imported and some functions are missing.
The following transports are missing:
====quote from transports_EN.txt included in transports for Crystal Reports=====
The following files must be used on an SAP BW system:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
Content Administration transport (K900579.r21 and R900579.r21)
Personalization transport (K900580.r21 and R900580.r21)
MDX Query Connectivity transport (K900581.r21 and R900581.r21)
ODS Connectivity transport (K900582.r21 and R900582.r21)
===========================================================
My SAP BASIS expert refuses to import these transports in SAP SCM, because he thinks it is not an SAP BW system as listed in the above transports_EN.txt file. Just trying is not an option because transports cannot be removed once imported...
In my opinion these transports have to be imported to clearly access the cube and will work on SAP SCM even if it's not a 'dedicated' SAP BW environment. In other words, these transports should be imported and will work on SAP OLAP servers like SAP BW, SAP SCM, SAP SRM (APO) or SAP SEM.
Does anyone of you have some more experience on reporting from SAP SCM / APO cubes and if I can import these transports without getting some nasty errors, because its not an SAP BW system?
Kind regards!

Thanks for your reply, but this is not helping me much.
Let me explain more.
In the transport_EN.txt file we see this:
If your SAP system is running on a 6.20 *BASIS system* or later, you must use the files listed below:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
* Open SQL Connectivity transport (K900574.r21 and R900574.r21)
* Info Set Connectivity transport (K900575.r21 and R900575.r21)
* Row-level Security Definition transport (K900576.r21 and R900576.r21)
* Cluster Definition transport (K900585.r21 and R900585.r21)
* Authentication Helpers transport (K900578.r21 and R900578.r21)
The following files must be used on an *SAP BW system*:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
* Content Administration transport (K900579.r21 and R900579.r21)
* Personalization transport (K900580.r21 and R900580.r21)
* MDX Query Connectivity transport (K900581.r21 and R900581.r21)
* ODS Connectivity transport (K900582.r21 and R900582.r21)
So I have to import 5 transports in SAP BASIS system and 4 transports in SAP BW system to make full use of the integration kit.
SAP SCM / APO is basically a BASIS system, so the BASIS expert says only those 5 transport have to be installed.
But SAP SCM / APO is also having some reporting capabilities and stores data in OLAP cubes (Infocubes).
In Crystal I can see these cubes when using SAP BW MDX connection.
To make the error go away, I must have some function modules used in transport 'MDX Query Connectivity transport. But the BASIS expert doesn't want to import this transport, because it is listed as a transport for a SAP BW system and he says SAP SCM / APO is NOT a SAP BW system (it's a BASIS system).
And now I have to get some proof that this transport has to be imported in the SAP SCM / APO BASIS system before he installs it...

How to connect Crystal Report 2008 server with SAP BI/BW server

Hi ,
I have downloaded the 60 Days trial version of "Crystal Report 2008 Server' from sap site to my machine. Now i would like to connect this Crystal server with SAP BI and want to use the data of BI Bex queries and Infoproviders.
Can you please guide me how to connect them?
Aslo how can i get the free trial version of Intergration kit ..here please provide me the entire full path of site(to download the Integration Kit).....
Any inputs would be appreciated!!

Hi Michelle,
Older versions of CR would allow you to run CR from a network share point but you still had to have a license for each user. Current versions of CR do not allow you to do this any more, possibly using a Citrix or Terminal Server would allow this but you still need a license for each user. Older versions had a Network install option.
And as suggested exporting to PDF or some other format is fine for end users viewing your output. They are not using CR but Adobe Reader or Word etc. to view the reports, they just can't use the Designer to view the reports.
Hope this is clear now?
Thank you
Don

Crystal Designer - System cannot find the file specified

Hi
I have only just installed Crystal Reports for SAP Business One. I followed the eLearing installation guide and the installation seemed to go fine. However, when i run Crystal Designer i get the following message:
The system cannot find the file specified.
Can anyone tell me why this is?
Many thanks

Dear Mike,
Thanks for the solution. I am the only user who want to develop and view the reports. and I installed CR following the guidelines as per SAP. And I think I installed the full product.
Can you guide me how to install full product. And lasly there was a point in installation guide numvbered 17 which I could not understand.
17.
If the Crystal Designer has been installed on the local PC, the following file needs to be edited ( or checked to be correct). The file gives the path to the Crystal Reports Designer exe. The add-on will read this file to launch Crystal Designer.
C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\AddOns\SAP_CR\Resources\CrystalDesignerPath.txt
I gave the path of crystal reports designer exe in this file but of no use.
Need your guidance.
Thanking you in anticipation

Transporting a Crystal Report to a different SAP landscape

I have developed a Crystal Report in our development SAP landscape. I have published it and am able to view it in Infoview. I would now like to transport that report to our test SAP landscape. How do I transport my Crystal Report? I have looked in the SAP Integration Kit Users Guide, Installation Guide and the Admininistration Guide with no luck. I have also searched the Knowledge Base. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Dennis,
in case you saved the report to the BW system via the SAP menus in the CR Designer then you can use the standard transport mechnism from the SAP system

Kindly guide me urgently.

If I understood your question correctly.
Have a look in the link above.
It is possible to use Crystal Reports from ALV.
Tammy Powlas also has some good guides on how to do this.
The ABAP however is not covered that much.

And have you make that report on top of SAP R/3 (Or ECC).
Even when i have made report on top of SAP BI with chart.. it works fine on portal.
The issue is just with SAP R/3 (Or ECC).

Crystal Reports when connecting to SAP ERP gives Logon Failed error

Hello Friends,
We are trying to implement the SAP Best Practices Crystal Reports and Xcleisus Dashboards for ERP. We are using BI 4.0 SP2, Crystal Reports 2011 SP2 and SAP ECC 6.0 FP 5.
We have done all configurations at the SAP end and successfully adpated a couple of Crystal Reports and they work fine.
My client machine crashed and I had to reinstall my Windows and all Client Tools. After the installation, when I tried to adapt a few more reports, I face the below problem:
After opeing the Crystal Report, when trying to Set the DataSource location, I select Create New Connection and select SAP Infosets. The SAP logon popup comes and I select the ECC system and enter the logon credentials for SAP ECC, I get an error message saying
Logon Failed.
Details: some square boxes.
The error doesnt really make any sense. Unfortunately, I am not able to test this scenario in any other machine as I am the only developer here. I am almost sure this is because of some configuration set up in my client machine,
Can some please help?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I recommend looking at a couple of things:
1) Do you have the latest Crystal transports installed with ECC? SP 2 has new transports. Check this subdirectory
Crystal Reports 2011\DATA_UNITS\CrystalReports\Collaterals\Add-Ons\SAP\Transports\unicode_compatible\cofiles
Use STMS to see if transports are installed
2) Are you using 3.1 ? Do you have the Integration Kit installed on ECC and client side?

Crystal Runtime exception: Missing parameter values

Our company did a PeopleTools upgrade at one of our clients recently. We upgraded them to PeopleTools 8.50.08. We had to convert all the Crystal Reports to the 2008 format using the RPT converter which is included in the Client install of PeopleTools.
The only problem now is that a lot of the Crystal processes in PeopleSoft are failing with the following error:
Crystal Runtime exception: Missing parameter values.
I've checked the parameters which are being passed to the report and I see both parameters are filled:
E:\HR881\BIN\CLIENT\WINX86\PSCRRUN.EXE -CTORACLE -CDHRMKPDEV -COPSDUT -CPOPRPSWD -I218609 -RP"PUP202K" -OT6 -OP"G:\PS\PSPRCS\log_output\HRMKPDEV\CRW_PUP202K_218609" -LGDUT -OF2 -ORIENTL "2000-10-01" "2002-06-30"
Database type is Oracle. HRMS version is 8.8. I can run the Query which gets the data in just fine and I can also run the report from Crystal fine. This only happens with Crystal reports which have a date field as a parameter/prompt in the report.
There's currently an SR open at Oracle, but I was hoping that someone here can help me nail this issue. I'm not too happy with the quallity of Oracle support, but that's a whole different story.

<s>Just to be sure, did you put a space after each parameter name or is it a typo over here ?
E:\HR881\BIN\CLIENT\WINX86\PSCRRUN.EXE -CT ORACLE -CD HRMKPDEV -CO PSDUT -CP OPRPSWD -I 218609 -RP "PUP202K" -OT 6 -OP "G:\PS\PSPRCS\log_output\HRMKPDEV\CRW_PUP202K_218609" -LG DUT -OF 2 -OR IENTL "2000-10-01" "2002-06-30"</s>

Idoc "missing" between SAP and PI

Hi!
We have an issue with Idocs that are "missing" between SAP and PI. First 5 idocs were processed ok, then 3 went into yellow status. We have set up queue processing on this particular idoc type as there can be posted 2 at the same time. The problem started when 2 idocs were processed at the same time
What have been done
- SMQ1/2 in SAP system does not show any trace of these messages
- SMQ1/2 in PI system does not show any trace of the messages
- Message monitoring in PI does not show any trace of the messages
- SM58 in SAP system is empty
- SM58 in PI system is empty
What checks remain to find out where these Idocs are stuck?
Thanks!
