Crystal Report 9: Page setting

Hello there.
I have one question.
I have created one report. Example the report have 2 pages.
The report is like details information with signature at the bottom of the report.
Only the signature goes to page two. My problem is the page number for page 1 and 2 is stated as
Page 1 of 1 (both page 1 and 2) instead of Page 1 of 2 (at page 1) and Page 2 of 2 (at page 2).
How to solve this problem?
Best regards,
Alias

Hi Alias,
Please ensure that the "reset page number after" is unmarked in the section expert on the grouping that this displaying in the report.
Regards,
Zack H.

Update the web links on the Crystal Reports start page?

Many of the web links on the Crystal Reports start page are now useless and direct to the general "Welcome to the SAP Support World!" page.
When will / how can these be updated?

SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?????

What version of CR are you using?
What CR updates are you using?
See sample apps here:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsfor.NETSDK+Samples
in particular check out vbnet_win_pass_dataset_main_sub.zip
The [Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 Walkthroughs|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2081b4d9-6864-2b10-f49d-918baefc7a23] will also be good to look at.

Crystal Reports 9: Page Header plus Page Footer is too large for the page.

Hi,
I have a report that has the following sections.
GH1
GH2a
GH2b - has a sub report
GH2c - has another sub report
GH3
GH4
GH5
details - suppressed
GF5 - suppressed
GF4 - suppressed
GF3 - suppressed
GF2 - suppressed
GF1 - suppressed
The report works fine wehn I run it using Crystal Designer.I am using CR version 9.2.2.693.
When I try to load the report in my application, I get the following error.
Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer
Page Header plus Page Footer is too large for the page.Error in File rptName.rpt:
Page header or footer longer than a page.
OK
There are no 'suppress blank sections' option set in the sections where the sub-Reports are.
I also tried setting the No Default Printer option.
The report gets loaded from the application only when I set 'New Page after' in the sections where there are sub-Reports.
I do not want to do this; Is there a workaround?
Thank you.

Can someone tell me if this problem is being worked on as it looks as thogh none of the problems regarding the message u2018Page Header plus Page Footer is too large for the pageu2019 have been addressed.
We have several reports that were written in Crystal 7 (I think) and worked in Crystal 9 and X1R2 but now give the above error. We have tried jigging the report in line with the various suggestions but at best can get them to run through successfully with one lot of data and then fail on the second or subsequent pages when you vary the data or report format even slightly. We can report on every bit of data separately or in various combinations but not in others. Changing the bottom page margin by 0.01 cm can cause it to fail on page 7 instead of page 530 (for example). We certainly do not have large page headers (just over 2cm) or page footers (about 0.3cm). We do have some subreports in the details section but have used 'fit to section', added 'keep together', removed u2018keep togetheru2019 from just about everything we can (in desperation) but to no avail. We cannot see a pattern to what is happening. It would be encouraging to know that someone is actually working on this fault.

Crystal Reports 2008 - Error setting new datasource location

Hi All,
We are experiencing an issue while trying to set datasource location for our RM 3.0 reports in Crystal Reports 2008 designer. As per guide "SAP BusinessObjects Process Control 3.0 and Risk Management 3.0 - How to build and Personalize Custom Crystal Reports" (step 11), after opening the desire report we go to DataBase-->Set DataSource Location and when selecting our RM system (which actually has the BI content addon installed on it), we got the following error message:
"Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please verify the table required for any unmodified tables"
I'm new on this so I'm not sure if the table indicated in the original datasource should exist in my DB (new datasource) before doing this? If so, how those tables are imported or created in our DB?
Could you please help me on this issue?
Please let me know if any other detail or data is required.
Regards

Hi Don,
Thanks for the update.
Actually I've installed SAP Integration Kit and its Fixpack in both....BOE Server (which is the same as the SAP server) and in client pc. In all cases we have select a typical installation which supposes the required drivers are available. Also I've followed Ingo's documentation to activate and publish standard Risk Management reports (RM reports). Everything works ok with them. We are able to access reports through the application.
The issue appears when trying to customize one of these standard reports through CR Designer. For example if we select the "GRRM_Risk_by_Risk_Category" and try to customize it as indicated in the "SAP BusinessObjects Process Control 3.0 and Risk Management 3.0 - How to build and Personalize Custom Crystal Reports"...the table behind this report (table GRFN_CY_API_GRRM_R1) it's not in our RM System. My main concern or question is regarding this....Did I miss something while importing transports files, activating or publishing RM reports, etc....and thatu2019s the reason why this (and any other) table is not already in my system? I was not able to find where those tables are supposed to be or how they should be imported in my system. The odd thing is...that we are trying to customize and set the new data source for these reports to the same system from where they are being opened. Put in this way...RM reports have been activated in system A (RM System) and published to system B (BOE System). While customizing reports through CR Designer...we are actually opening reports from system A. These reports have as their original data source...a demo SAP system info (uxcir1p.wdf.sap.corp) and when we want to update this data source with our RM system....the error appears. The whole process is explained in the above mentioned guide for your reference.
Hope being clear enough..
Thanks for your help

Crystal Reports 2008 Page Header needed on all pages.

I have Crystal Reports 2008.
In my report I need the Page Header and Page Footer to appear on all pages.
When I have over 50 detail records/lines the Page Header appears on only odd pages, the Page Footer is OK on all pages.
How do I change the Page Header to print on all pages in CR 2008?

Thanks what work was creating a Page Header b and moving all header info there.
This report has 4 levels of groupings and I am finding that group effects a lot.

Crystal Report Crosstab Page Number Issue

Hi Gurus,
I am creating the crystal report which has variable column fields, so the number of pages are variable.
The issue is, When i place the page number on the footer, It display only at the end of the page saying '1 of 1', I read lot of forums regarding this issue but didn't get resolved yet.
My crosstab is in the report header, I even tried the dummy group and placed the cross tab in that group. In that case i am getting '1 of 1' in all the pages.
Can you guys please help me to resolve this issue
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Try this Knowledge base article : It works for all cr versions
Symptom
In Crystal Reports (CR) 9, a cross-tab needs to have page numbers for its virtual pages in the format:
"1", "1-1", "1-2", and so on.
How can the virtual pages of a cross-tab be numbered?
Resolution
Virtual pages can be numbered by conditionally formatting the 'Display String' property of a Cross-Tab field.
Displaying Page Numbers in Cross-Tab Virtual Pages
1. Right-click the top-left of a cross-tab and click 'Cross-Tab Expert'.
2. In the 'Cross-Tab Expert' dialog box click the 'New Formula' button, then name the formula 'Page Number'.
3. In the Formula Editor enter a blank space (" ") then click the 'Save' button. Close the 'Formula Editor' dialog box.
4. In the 'Cross-Tab Expert' dialog box select this formula from the 'Available Fields' box and move it to the 'Columns' box. Use the 'Up' arrow for the 'Columns' box to move it to the top of this box.
5. Click the 'OK' button to close the 'Cross-Tab Expert' dialog box.
6. Right-click the 'Column #1 Name' field on the cross-tab and click 'Format Field'. The 'Format Editor' dialog box will appear.
7. On the 'Common' tab click the 'X+2' button next to 'Display String'.
8. Enter the following formula in the 'Format Formula Editor':
global numbervar PageNum;
PageNum:= PageNum + 1;
if PageNum > 1 then "Page # " + totext(pagenumber,0) + "-" + totext(PageNum - 1,0)
else "Page # " + totext(pagenumber,0)
9. Click the 'Save and Close' button to close the 'Format Formula Editor' then click the 'OK' button to close the 'Format Editor' dialog box.
When previewing the report, the cross-tab will display "1" for the first page and then "1-1, 1-2" and so on, for the subsequent virtual pages. Navigating to page 2 will show "2" for the first virtual page followed by "2-1, 2-2" and so on.
Background
'Virtual pages' are the pages on a cross-tab from left to right as opposed to the actual pages that are accessed through the 'Navigation' buttons.
When you create a cross-tab that is wider than the specified page size, CR automatically spans the printing across enough pages to accommodate the width of the cross-tab. In the Preview tab, a line will appear at each page break.

Crystal Report Viewer Page Change Refresh Issue

Hello
I hope this is an easy question for someone out there.
I am using a crystal report viewer with the code contained in the page init event. The report has several pages and opens in a separate tab. There is also a on demand drilldown sub-report in the report.
When I want to move to the second page the viewer seems to process the code again (like its runs the page init event) which takes several seconds so will not be satisfactory for the users. I tried the concatenate the pages using the 'SeparatePages' property but then the user can't select a specific page.
Is there any way that the report can just open in the viewer and not have to reload everytime the user changes page?
Thanks in advance
Dave.

Hi Dave
In a web app, you could place the reports in session. See KBA: 1985571 - How to use sessions in web applications using the Crystal Reports viewer (the complete code)

How to change the Crystal Reports start page

The CR Start page has a panel on the bottom half which displays Highlights, Key Resources, and eLearning tabs. It is annoying. How do I turn it off?

One more idea:
Go to your below directory on your machine:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\Start Page\en
Take a backup of start.html file (If the below, doesn't work you can put it back)
Open start.html and edit in notepad remove below code and save it , your annoying tab disappears
<div id="onlinecontent">
<iframe width="100%"
height="1200px" align="center" scrolling="auto" FRAMEBORDER="0" class="resources" id="onlineresourse"></iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">InitializeResourcesTag("onlineresourse")</script>
<script type="text/javascript">SetFrameSource("onlineresourse")</script>
</div>

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

Invoking a Crystal Report stored on a BOXI3.1 server from a remote web page

We would like to run Crystal Reports stored on our BOXI 3.1 server directly from an in-house intranet website written in ASP.Net. Is there a recommended way of achieving this?
Some possible options we are considering are:
1) A pop-up window opens with InfoView loaded and showing the correct report already open. The user would then populate the parameters and submit the report as if they had logged into InfoView and navigated to the report themselves.
2) We write our own BOXI Crystal Report submission page in ASP.Net. This page would call the BusinessObjects Enterprise .NET SDK to retrieve the report parameter information and submit the report. This page would need to support Static, Dynamic, and Cascading report parameters.
3) Use some sort of 3rd party or SAP imbedded Web Component that we can place on our intranet site that interfaces with the BOXI server and supports parameter setting and report submission. This Component would allow users to specify Static, Dynamic, or Cascading report parameters.
Ideally we would prefer option 3 as this would be simplest to implement, however Iu2019m not sure such a component exists.
Do SAP have a recommended solution for invoking a Crystal Report stored on a BOXI 3.1 server from a remote web page?
Regards,

Hi Paul,
there are several options:
- you could open InfoView via URL and the user navigates to the report
- you could create you own application
but the easiest way is an application called OpenDocument that is available out of the box which allows you to pass in several URL parameter and in that way you could open up the report.
when you go to help.sap.com and go to the BusinessObjects area search for OpenDocument and you will find the documentation with the details.

How to hide Database Logon option when scheduling Crystal Report in BOE?

Hi All,
For security reason, we are try to hide the Database Logon option in Crystal Report Schedule page in InfoView.
There is option in CMC which we can configure the default Database logon option so that users do not have to enter the logon everytime they view or schedule the report. However, we are looking to hide this option completely.
Does anyone know if there is a security setting which can hide the option from specific users?
Thanks,
Bobby

Hi Bobby,
As Jorge informed that there is no method available within CMC to hide database logon option when scheduling or viewing a Crystal Report in the Info view. This is very much true.
But as you also mentioned that you don't want your users to enter the database logon credentials evertime they view or schedule a crystal report, there is one setting in CMC which we can do to avoid prompt for database logon credentials.
CMC - Home - Go to that specific crystal report - Click Process tab - Click the sub-tab 'Database' and at the bottom of the page there is an option "Use same database logon as when report is run". Check this option after providing the database credentials and click UPDATE.
Now whenever users try to view or schedule this specifc crystal report they won't be prompted for the database logon credentials.
Regards,
Venkat

Crystal Reports scheduling disregard the default values and requires prompts to be answered every time.

Hi guys,
When scheduling a Crystal report, the page to configure the prompt answers does not have any prompts answered by default - they all appear as "[EMPTY]". This means that any required prompts must be answered during configuration of the alert schedule. Since prompt is required and the default value (which is equivalent to not answering the prompt) is not available in the selection list.
Is there any way around it?
Ideally I would like the prompts to keep the default values, so I could schedule the report for all the prompt answers (Whole list of value) instead of having at least one prompt value.
Is there any configuration in crystal reports or on database side that could help me resolve the issue.

First off, Thank you for your replies!
Rabeb SLIMANI, we can't use universes by user requirement. If we could, it would have to be through IDT (Information Design Tool) but, nonetheless, the users want a direct BICS connection between BEx and WebI.
Victor Gabriel Saiz Castillo, we can't do that because the users want to choose between accessing the published instances or refreshing the reports on demand.
The way i see it, it would take a second set of BEx query + WebI report to provide both functionalities (one for ready for input, another for not ready for input). Am I correct?
@Sathish Kumar (sorry, i can't tag you right), i was checking with the BW team and we already have the logic for If left null, populate with Customer Exits.
But they are currently mandatory, so we will change them to optional and test the behavior.
If you have any other ideas, they are more than welcome! I will keep you posted on the outcome!
Best regards,
Francisco

You are setting the CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource in multiple sections of code on this page. I'm not quite sure what you are attempting to accomplish here? In my opinion, your ConfigureCrystalReports() should accept a report filename, or something similar. Then use that info to load the report and throw it into Session. Then the last line of ConfigureCrystalReports can set the ReportSource.
If you can tell us what you are trying to do we might be able to give you some advice. But at this point I'd just say start over on this page.

Error:When adding RDC runtime library (Crystal report XI R2) to Lotus notes

Background : We have reporting feature implemented in one of lotus notes application using crystal reports 6 (OCX) and as Crystal report is going to be upgraded to CR XI version in my organisation, we need to implement the same using RDC component available in crystal XI . we have installed Crytal report XI R2 - SP 6 version for testing the integration.
we are referring a document available on SAP web site(attached below) that illustrates the steps required to integrate the Crystal Reports® Report Designer Component into a Lotus® Dominou2122 application. http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/509b02de-a81e-2b10-f598-822b6d6f2024?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
Steps which have been outlined for adding runtime library in lotus domino application is shown below:-
1. In Domino Designer, add a Form to the application.
2. In the programmeru2019s pane, go to the (Declarations) handler of the Form and enter:
Dim App As Variant, Dim Rep As Variant
3. Select Create | Object and select the u201CControlu201D radio button in the u201CCreate Objectu201D dialog box that comes up. From the list of controls, select u201CCrystal Report Viewer Control.u201D This adds the control to the Form.
4. Click on the control and select Edit | Properties. In the u201CAppletu201D properties dialog, select the u201CSize object to fit windowu201D radio button and then close the properties dialog.
We are getting an error message while trying to add 'Crystal Report Viewer Control' control (illustated in Step 3 above) in the lotus notes form . Error message which we get is 'An error has occured while processing a request on an object'.
Alternatively , we created the object of Crystal Report Viewer on lotus notes form by adding viewer object file (Crviewer.dll) from the file system after selecting the u201CObject from a fileu201D radio button in the u201CCreate Objectu201D dialog box and added following code in the postopen event of lotus notes form .
Set m_Viewer = Source.GetObject("Crystal Report Viewer Control")
Set App = CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
Set Rep = App.OpenReport(u201Cc:lotus
otes
ep.rptu201D)
Set m_Viewer.ReportSource = Rep
Again, when lotus notes form is opened , it gives error 'Variant does not contain object' at 'Set m_Viewer.ReportSource = Rep' .
Can any one suggest us any workaround or if iit is not possible in CR XI R2 into a Lotus® Dominou2122 application. Also, can any one provide us sample code if CR 2008 version can be integatred with lotus notes.

I believe, Lotus was never a "supported" development platform, though it did work - at one time or another. Eventually it did not and you are at that point. I think it was CR 10 where it started to be impossible to add the viewer to Lotus. This was never fixed and we never did find out if this was a Lotus thing or a CR thing.
Re. CR 2008 and Lotus. The RDC has been retired in CR 2008, so no luck there either for you. The only SDKs available in CR 2008 are for .NET and Java.
