Crystal Report 2008 - Cross tab in subreport doesn't expand horizontally

Hello,
i'm migrating all my company's reports from crystal report X to crystal report 2008.
And i'm facing the following issue:
when a sub-report contains a cross-tab that is too large for one page, in crystal report X a second horizontal page is generated, but in Crystal report 2008 the second horizontal page is not visible.
Is it a known bug, is there a patch to install?

Hi Abhilash,
thank you for your answer, but this workarround does not works in my case.
My main report is just a container for multiple subreports and some of them contains crosstab that can grow on several pages horizontally and vertically.
For example i have some crosstab that can span on more than 5 pages vertically and on 2 pages horizontally.
I tried to create an empty cross tab that span on 2 horizontal pages in the main report, and to mask it. That works for the first vertical page of the subreport but only for this one. Moreover if the first page of the crosstab contained in the subreport does not span horizontally, this solution create an unwanted empty page.

Crystal Reports 10 Cross Tab Report Issue

I created a Cross Tab Report with multiple rows of data. It has two columns to return data for Year 2008 and Year 2009. When reading the database the report does not return data for rows that have a result of 0 in both columns even though Suppress Empty Rows is NOT checked in the Cross Tab Expert Customize Style Tab. Any suggestions as to how to get all of the rows to display including those with results of 0?

I'm guessing that your issue is that "results of 0" is really a lack of data, not that something is there and is summing to zero.
In that case, you need to base your report on an SQL Command. Take the SQL that the report is currently using, and UNION it with another select statement that returns all of the rows that you are looking for with zero values; something like this:
UNION
select category, 0 as PY_Value, 0 as CY_Value
from categories
This will cause the data to be there, which will cause the rows to display on the cross tab.

Crystal Report 2008 doesn't set page size when export to excel file

Hi,
I am using Crystal Report 2008 Developer edition.
At Crystal report design time setting the below page setup:
Page Options -
to A3(297X420 mm)
Orientation --- Landscape
and using the following code in .net (c#)
I am using below format options to export in excel in .net 2005
ReportDocument oReport = new ReportDocument();
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
oReport.FormatEngine.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperA3;
if (aParamlist.ReportFormat == ReportFormatEnum.MicrosoftExcel)
ExcelFormatOptions excel = new ExcelFormatOptions();
excel.ExcelUseConstantColumnWidth = false;
// Use detail section one as a guideline to determine column width
excel.ExcelAreaGroupNumber = 1;
//excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
excel.ExcelAreaType = AreaSectionKind.Detail;
// Prepare exporting options
ExportOptions export = oReport.ExportOptions;
export.FormatOptions = excel;
export.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Excel;
oReport.Export();
when export to excel it doesn't set the Paper Size to A3(297X420 mm).
Is there any way to set the paper size while export to excel or in other formats also????
Thanks & Regds,

Hi,
thanks for your email.
This is not happening in development environment.It is setting the paper size anf paper orientation properly.
this is happening in the production environment where only redist installation is done.
thanks

How to export subreports along with main reports in crystal reports 2008

Hi
I am having serious issues in Crystal Reports 2008. While I was trying to export one of my reports(having 3 subreports) in to a pdf file,well only the main report data is getting exported.
My subreports are ON DEMAND SUBREPORTS.
Kindly help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks in advance
Sam_dwh

Thanks Debi for your answer.
Well now I am thinking of publishing the reports which I have generated ,so that client need not have to install crystal reports individually in their computers.But I don't have BO portal as such for publishing.
What will I do?

Can we create Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
We want to create a Crystal Report which will export the output as multiple Tab's ( we can use sub reports). Can we create a Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008 ( not Crystal reports Basic 2008). Please share any information/links on how to do that.
Also if it is not supported please let us know which version supports it.
Thanks,
Vasu

At least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Desktop Scheduling tools listed at: http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides that functionality. It allows you to burst a single report so that each Group at level 1 becomes a separate tab. You can control the tab names (and tab colors) via fields/formulas inside the report.
You can also automate the process of exporting to (and also replacing or appending to) specified tabs inside existing workbooks.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by tabbed reporting. Do you mean having multiple reports open at once within the Crystal Reports Designer?
If this is the case, the viewer is designed to only have one report open at a time.

Crystal Report 2008 / JavaScript hyperlink formula/ Issue

Hi,
We've developed the Crystal Report using the Crystal Reports 2008 software & integrated it in asp.net web page and also deployed in IIS web server. We have a requirement like opening the sub report in a new window. We have integrated the sub report also in a asp.net web page & passing the parameters in URL & acheived it..
For the above, we have used JavaScript code like "javascript:window.open('SubReport.aspx','...','..' ...)" in the hyperlink formula field of main report. It works fine while running using VS 2005 in the development box.
But in production serer (Windows 2003 server), the JS URL in the formula field is not working properly. Instead , it is rendered as a drill down JS url. Like javascript:bobj.event.publish('drilldown',........)
Can you please help us to resolve this issue?
(OR) Do we have any other approach to open the web page in new window from CR (same like a popup window)
Thanks
Jeyakumar
Edited by: Jeyakumar Seenivasagam on Nov 21, 2008 12:02 PM

I understand that the point of this is to allow the URL link to open the Subreport.aspx page in a new window. This can be problematic due to cross-site scripting restrictions. A few years ago we found that it was possible for report writers to add JavaScript to reports. This isn't a problem if the report writers are honest and nice. However, it is possible for JavaScript to be malicious so that ability to include JavaScript was turned off when the app uses our webform viewers. There may be a way to turn it off in the registry though. This is documented for CR XI r2 [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do].
I am not sure if this reg key works for the .NET viewer, though the note specifies DHTML and .NET InfoView, so CR should work also. As you are using CR 2008, I suspect the key would be:
HKLMSoftwareBusiness ObjectsSuite 12.0Crystal Reports
You will most likely have to add the Export folder, then add the HTML folder, then add the EncodeHTMLForSingleLineFieldObjects and set it to "no".
Please note that this is a hack / workaround found for CR XI r2. The functionality you are looking to exploit was removed for a reason. As such if the above does not work for CR 2008, it will not be considered to be a "bug" and we will not be able to send this to R&D for a resolution.

Unable To Print or Access Page Setup in Crystal Reports 2008

I have Win 7 32 bit, and installed Crystal Reports 2008 last week (v12.0.0.683 from the Help window).
Every time I open a report, and from the Preview tab clicking File -> Print, or File - > Page Setup, I immediately receive a Windows message that "Crystal Reports has stopped working". After a few seconds, another Windows message displays "Crystal Reports has stopped working - a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". Then Crystal completely closes.
I downloaded sample reports from the BO website, and still receive the error, so I don't think it's the report.
When I view the Event Log, I see the following:
Faulting application name: crw32.exe, version: 12.0.0.683, time stamp: 0x47c8be9a

I have uninstalled and reinstalled CR 2008 multiple times and continue to receive the same error. I tried updating to SP1 (Version 12.1.0.892 Incremental) but I receive the following error: "A BusinessObjects product at a lower patch level is detected. The installation cannot continue. Please update all installed products to the SP1 patch level, then restart this installation".
Need to print my reports - any ideas?

Sorry busy on Support cases and they take precedence over this community forum.
Very interesting....
In a test application I use I have this routine to get the local printers:
private void frmMain_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
     if (System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Count > 0)
          foreach(String myPrinter in System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters )
               cboCurrentPrinters.Items.Add(myPrinter);
          cboCurrentPrinters.SelectedIndex = 0;
     else
          rdoCurrent.Enabled = false;
          EnableDisableCurrentControls(false);
     //For printers exposed to System account as per MS Kbase
     //http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;184291
     //Look to HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices
     Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey mySystemPrinters =
          Microsoft.Win32.Registry.Users.OpenSubKey(@".DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices");
     foreach (String defaultPrinters in mySystemPrinters.GetValueNames())
          cboDefaultPrinters.Items.Add(defaultPrinters);
     if (cboDefaultPrinters.Items.Count > 0)
          cboDefaultPrinters.SelectedIndex = 0;
     else
          rdoDefault.Enabled = false;
Note the MS Kabse on where the printer registry is. Now the odd part is on one of my test development PC's it won't populate the Default User Printer list, only the Local User Printers. I take this same app to another PC and it works just fine. The register keys are there but for some reason on my Windows 7 64 bit it won't show them, the other strange part is I have full access to both keys. I have not been able to figure out why this happens...
I'm thinking this may be related to your issue.... But I don't have a solution, very strange... I've even gone into regedit32 and set full permissions on the various keys and it still doesn't work...
I have other VM-ware images if I need to get past that part for testing so I never drilled into why, I believe it has to be some Windows/Firewall/Anti-virus configuration or something our IT department pushed into my local Profile.... What that is I don't know unfortunately.
I'll do some looking and testing. You may want to post this on Microsoft forums as well.... Ask about printer permissions.
Thanks

Catch BO Session info in Crystal Report 2008 to pass to Xcelsius 2008

Hi All.
I have an Xcelsius 2008 model with data provided by a Live Office connection.
I've tried to embed this model, as swf file, in a report Crystal 2008.
I've published this report within BOE Enterprise, but trying to visualize it, the Live Office connection prompts for BO authentication.
Is there any way in Crystal Report 2008 to catch current BO session info to pass it to the Live Office connection?
I would really appreciate any suggestion.
Thanks a million.
PS: I'm sorry if this is not the right forum. This thread is available also in Crystal Reports Design section.

No, we haven't found a solution that we would like to have.
We are putting in place a workaround to update the Xcelsius SWF file outside of Crystal. We will have the Crystal Report using the BOBJ scheduler to export to Excel on a file share the cross tab table used in Xcelsius and then have Xcelsius updated using the BOBJ scheduler. Instead of having the Xcelsuis embedded in Crystal, the SWF file will be posted to the same SharePoint site that we will be posting the PDF file from Crystal. Not ideal, but it should work.

Crystal Reports 2008 Web Application Error

Post Author: Jeff Clark
CA Forum: .NET
Hello,
I am using Crystal Reports 2008 and Visual Studio 2005 to create and deploy CR web applications. These applications are installed on a Windows 2003 R2 server with .Net 3.0. I have previously used CR XIR2 for this purpose but upgraded to 2008 because I needed the added functionality in cross-tab reports.
Some of the reports in the web application are pulling from a MySQL database. I am using a JDBC driver (version 5.1.5) to connect Crystal to the database. When I was using CR XIR2, all I needed to do was add the path for the JDBC driver in the CRConfig.xml in "C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\3.5\java" directory and everything worked great.
The runtime files for CR2008 create a "C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\4.0" directory, but there is no "java" subfolder and no CRConfig.xml. When I attempt to load one of the MySQL reports I get the following error.
"Error in File %Report Name%.rpt: Failed to load database information. "
Is there a way to load JDBC drivers in the CR2008 runtime files?

I do not believe any java dlls are packaged in the runtimes for .net (same goes for the crdb_xml.dll, which is a java dll). I do not have a cr 2008 deployed server at the moment so I can not verify this.
If you want to use java based db connectivity you will probably need to deploy them with your application.

Crystal Reports 2008 - ERROR when changing datasource

Hi, I have a report that is connected to a test database that needs to have the datasource changed to the production database.
The Crystal Report has 2 "on-demand" subreports that the datasource has been changed for as well.
SQL 2000 Databases on 2 different servers (W2003) used the "Set Datasource Location" and followed steps listed previously in the forum.
Databases have different names but all tables are same in both.
Database Expert is showing all tables coming from new datasource BUT when report is run parameter prompt comes up, click ok
Error message - "Failed to retrieve data from the database" - click OK
Error message - "Invalid Argument provided"
Does anyone have an ideas on how to track down the issues.
Please let me know if you need any other information

Ok answers below:-
1. Crystal Reports 2008 Cersion 12.1.0.892
2. Connecting via OLEDB
3. Yes able to refresh newly created report without sub reports enclosed
4. Didn't know that this could be done - this report was done for us by a consultant who doesn't know how to fix this issue and reckons there is a bug in Crystal
5. Sub reports are accessed after main report is run (I think that means that they are linked)
6. Not sure how to do this as am newbie to Crystal Reports and we are relying on the person that we contracted to write the reports to know what he is doing.
Any help appreciated I will try to go into the sub report and unlink - think I have found out how to do this.
Thanks for the help so far!!

Crystal Reports 2008 Fix Pack 3.5 (Bad Fixed Issues Document)

The document available at
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/f06b7148-0f52-2e10-e4ad-82ed9e94c350
doesn't list any fixed issues for 3.5. The latest fixed issues listed in that document are for Fix Pack 3.4
Is there a corrected document somewhere?

Hi Ido,
I went through the BOE PDF and these are all I found for just CR 2008 FP 3.5 and not completely sure if they do anything for CR Designer. They may only be affect in BOE.
Here's is the info:
ADAPT01472419
Description:
When a report uses a "For each record" chart, and the report data is sorted on a formula field, after a report refresh the record order in the chart may not match the record order in the report.
The cause of the problem is that the chart is refreshed before the sort order is applied to the report.
To solve the problem, upon a refresh, the formula field in the report is sorted first, before the "For each record" chart is regenerated.
ADAPT01495638
Description:
The label for Summarized Field in a crosstab is always the database field name.
To solve the problem, users can click Options > Database >Tables and Fields, and then select the option to either display the
database field name, description, or both for the Summarized Field Label of a crosstab.
ADAPT01497827
Description:
When exporting or scheduling reports to PDF, an error may occur.
ADAPT01498515
Description:
When exporting a wide-page report to text format, report field headers in the page header may either be missing or wrapped.
ADAPT01503419
Description:
Reports that have linked subreports may run more slowly than usual.
This problem happens when the report contains no data. Despite having no data, Crystal Reports attempts to run the subreport, and this extra processing reduces performance of the report.
Thanks
Don

Crystal Reports 2008 on My Eclipse 7.5

Hi everybody,
I'm new on Crystal Reports 2008 and have been developing web prjjects (JSPs) on My Eclipse 7.5 for some months now.
I have tried to install the software for eclipse to add reports to my JSP pages. But I can't install properly the plugin or so I think when I try to install the plugin using the Help - Software Updates - Add/Remove Software
I get an error of incompatibility.
When I simply put all the libraries on eclipse - plugins which I downloaded from the sdn site, it seems that works however when I try to create a new report on my web project the Data Source tab doesn't appear on the Crystal Reports perspective.
Can anyone please, give me some instructions on how properly install the eclipse plugin for crystal reports, or either show me hot to create a new data soruce tab or connection to my native mysql database so I can create a report for my project.
Thanks in advance.
