Crystal Report Connection not Mapping When Published After BW Transport

We are publishing a Crystal Report through SAP BW to BOE in order to leverage some of the benefits of doing so, rather than saving directly to BOE. However, after transporting the report from SAP BW DEV to SAP BW QA and then publishing into BOE QA, the connection of the report still points back to the SAP BW DEV system.
Does anyone have a best practices procedure for transporting reports through the SAP BW path to Production and then publishing to BOE?
What is the best method for updating the report connection after it has been transported and published?
Thanks,
Josh

Our configuration was fine. As it turns, out there are some additional development steps associated with dynamic paramters against an SAP BW backend that required the use of the BOE Business View Manager tool to resolve. The input paramters required their own connection which also had to be migrated.
We seem to have a basic procedural solution in place, but I'd still love to hear of any best practices if anyone has any.
Thanks,
Josh

Crystal report parameters not available when running from within SAP B1

Hi
I have found this problem a few times already and I think it is now about time I find a solution for it.
On my latest Crystal report, I have 2 parameters.
The 1e is a dynamic parameter, allowing the user to select multiple groups.
The 2nd is also a dynamic parameter, allowing the user to select only a single item.
These parameters works fine in Crystal and do what they are supposed to do.
After publishing the report in SAP Busines One (SBO) and viewing it from within SBO, the 2 parameter prompts are still there but without the dynamic list to select any data from.
On a previous report where a parameter has been defined as "Any value can be entered for the parameter" once again worked fine in crystal but from within SBO the parameter allowed no value to be entered.
Have anyone got a solution for this.
Regards
Burger

Sorry guys
You have lost me. I have searched the form and I have worked through the whole pdf you suggested.
I have no idea what I am supposed to do or see or use "ItemGroup@ SELECT ItmsGrpCod, ItmsGrpNam FROM OITB ORDER BY ItmsGrpCod"
As a test I created a test report with the following parameters to test how it would present itself in B1
1.     A static parameter with no list. Allow custom Values = True, Allow Multiple Values = True u2013 B1 result. A box that I could enter anything. Defeating the object as I wanted a list of valid options
2.     A static parameter with no list. Allow custom Values = True, Allow Multiple Values = False u2013 B1 result. A box that I could enter anything. Defeating the object as I wanted a list of valid options
3.     A static parameter with a list. Allow custom Values = True, Allow Multiple Values = True u2013 B1 result. A box that I could select multiple values from a list. I could not add my own value. Defeating the object as the list is static
4.     A static parameter with a list. Allow custom Values = True, Allow Multiple Values = False u2013 B1 result. A drop down box where I could select one of the values. Defeating the object as the list is static
5.     A static parameter with a list. Allow custom Values = False, Allow Multiple Values = False u2013 B1 result. Same as in point 4
6.     A Dynamic parameter. Allow custom Values = True, Allow Multiple Values = False u2013 B1 result. Same as in point 1 & 2. No Dynamic list returned and can not add own option
As mentioned. All the parameters work in Crystal as one expect it to. What I am after is what should I change in B1 so that the report works the same as in Crystal.
Where in B1 should it be changes and to what should it be changed.
If the changes should be done in crystal to cater for B1 then what should be changes where to what
I am not that familiar with B1.
In my test report I use B1 table OITM.
My parameter is Item (Crystal syntax {?Item}) and I use it in a filter to say {OITM.ItemCode} = {?Item}

Crystal Reports - missing dynamic parameters when published to InfoView

Hi all,
I'm facing a problem when I publish Crystal Reports 2008 V1 which includes dynamic parameters on InfoView (either on BO EDGE 3.1 or Crystal Reports Server 2008 V1). Problem manifests itself in missing dinamic parameters - I get only static parameter panel and need to write in the value by myself... All other documents like Webi, Deski (on BO EDGE) works fine.
I have tried to install all latest Service Pack's for Crystal Reports 2008 V1 but it didn't solve the problem. Btw, Crystal Reports 2008 V1 designer is installed on client machine.
Here are the details of both installations:
BO EDGE 3.1.
OS: Windows Server 2003 SP2
Repository database: MS SQL Server 2005
CR Server 2008 V1
OS: Windows Server 2003 SP2
Repository database: MySQL
Does anyone had a same problem?
I will appreciate any help!
Best regrads

I had the same situation when I changed from a SQL server 2005 data source to a SQL server 2008 data source while using CR 2008. Change printer option default in the report designer to use u201CNo Printer (optimize for screen display) and republish to InfoView. Not sure why this would work, but it resolved the issue for us.

Crystal Report Alerts not firing when no records are fetched from the DB

Hello,
The crystal report alert i have created in the report in the event of no records being fetched from the query is not firing. The condition used is isnull ( count(DB Field ) ).
Is there a limitation with alerts that they would be fired only when some records are fetched in the report.
Appreciate any pointers
-Jayakrishnan

hi Jayakrishnan,
as alerts require records to be returned here's what you will need to do:
1) delete your current alert
2) create a new formula with syntax like
isnull(DistinctCount ()) or DistinctCount () = 0
3) create a new Subreport (which you will put in a report header)
4) the subreport can be based off of any table
5) have the subreport record selection always return only 1 record...for performance reasons
6) change the subreport link to be based on the new formula
7) the link will be a one way link in that you will not use the "Select data in subreport based on field" option
8) now in the subreport, create the Alert based on the parameter created by the subreport link
i have tested this and it works great.

Crystal Reports are not centered when viewing on Crystal Viewer

Hi
I´d like to ask you if you reported some problem of using subreports and during the visualization from the Crystal Viewer the main report and of course the subreports are not centered. I´m running Vs.Net 2005 with CR 10.
The main report and subreports access ADO.NET. Only one parameter is passed by the user. If we test the application and address the visualization to the crystal report viewer it is showed on right side even using DisplayGroupTree = False. But if we export the report to PDF it is showed centered. Is it a way to fix this one?
Any advice or suggestions?
Tks,
Isocler

When you say you're using v10 with VS2005, do you mean the full CR v10 product or the version that comes with VS.NET 2005 (version 10.2)? Make sure you're using/referencing the 10.2.* CR assemblies in your project, as the 10.0.* are not supported.
If you have the correct assemblies referenced, then make sure you have the latest patches applied. I think there may have been a fix for DIV tags.

We are facing problem with Crystal reports. After making the changes in the crystal reports, it is not reflecting in the portal after publishing. Still it is showing the older version of the report.
Can anyone please help me on this.
Thanks and Regards

Hello Prathamesh,
After publishing the report, we require some changes in the report and doing some modifications in crystal report and again we are publishing this report. After publishing the report for second time, those changes are not reflecting in the BOE portal.
This is happening for all reports. Can you please suggest me on this.

Some report fields not displaying when users view reports in a Citrix

Hi All, got a weird one.
We have an app developed in MS Visual Studio 2007 that utilizes .NET crystal reports. Our users access these reports through citrix. Most of teh time, most people can view these reports correctly. SOME of the time, however, certain fields will disappear. The report still runs the same (grouping, ordering, etc) but key information is missing.
After re deploying the reports and / or clearing the user's roaming profile then everything is good for a while, so I know it has something to do with a temp or cached version of the report. is there a way to set .net crystal reports to NOT cache AKA create new every time?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
JOhn.

Hi John,
Yes and Yes.... 14 years...
Multiple Commands and multiple data sources without being linked can cause problems if you also use SQL Expressions. If you try to add more than one data source in the Designer you'll get a pop up warning about server side grouping and SQLExpressions can not be used.
But I don't think this would be the cause. May be a result of the option logically internal to CR but I don't think the data source would be the issue, again you said the info is there just not displayed.
Do they have access to run your app without going through Citrix? Possibly running your app using Remote Desktop. Could rule out if it's a CR issue. I think this may be a GDIPlus problem, it is the dll that renders the page and could be dropping the objects. I know MS has been patching it lately to plug security holes....
One option, if they can, is to use [Modules |https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip], get then to run it when the reports are working and then again when they are not and see if there are any dll differences...
I have heard of a few other cases with Citrix and I believe it was narrowed down to being a Citrix problem and that was as far as we could take it....
Process Monitor may help but if it's random it's a lot of info to go through to determine the cause.
Maybe logging a case with Citrix might help also....
Thanks again
Don

Crystal Report Images Not Showing - JSP inside /WEB-INF folder

Hi Experts,
I am using Crystal report for Eclipse and also using Struts2 and tiles framework combination.
The problem is when viewing the report all I've got is red X on all images and the graph image also not showing. This is when I use tiles and my jsp is inside the web-inf folder.
This is my struts link: href="s:url value='/report/reportOpen.action?report=1'
I've checked that the path to the viewer generated HTML is not correct. see code below.
src="../../../crystalreportviewers/js/crviewerinclude.js"
But when I test to access a simple jsp viewer that resides on the web root folder, this works fine but of course this is not what I want to have. I need to have my banner and menus on top of the report page (using tiles)
This is my jsp link: href="s:url value='/ReportViewer.jsp?report=1'
Viewer generated HTML below.
src="crystalreportviewers/js/crviewerinclude.js"
This might be a common problem and that you can share to me your solution.
Note: I removed the script tags because I can't submit this entry.
Thank you in advance,

Crystal Report Images Not Showing - JSP inside /WEB-INF folder

Hi Saravana,
After a few experimentation from your idea i was able to figure out the problem and now it is working.
I don't have to copy the folder to where my jsp resides but still maintains it in the root location: web/crystalreportviewers
The changes should always be in web.xml.
1st: change the crystal_image_uri value to ../crystalreportviewers
2nd: change crystal_image_use_relative value to "web"
Change to "web" instead of webapp because that is what I named my web root folder.
<context-param>
          <param-name>crystal_image_uri</param-name>
          <param-value>../crystalreportviewers</param-value>
     </context-param>
     <context-param>
          <param-name>crystal_image_use_relative</param-name>
          <param-value>web</param-value>
     </context-param>
Thank you. You showed me the way on how to solve the 3 day problem.
BTW, my next problem is when clicking on any buttons prev/next/print/export, I got this error HTTP Status 404.
Well, at least for now I can view my initial report. I just need to figure out the next issue and with the help of the great people here in the forum.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Rulix

Crystal Report/STRUTS: Error (404) when clicking on Control Buttons (Print, Export, Next, Previous, etc...) on report viewer

Post Author: jwenny
CA Forum: Deployment
Need help badly!!!
We are using the crystal reports plugin for STRUTS.
We are able to display the report in the crystal report viewer. However, when we click any control buttons (print, export, etc...), then we get:
JSPG0036E: Failed to find resource /Report-viewer.jsp
We then moved Report-viewer.jsp to the WebContents folder (root directory) and got a different error when we clicked any control button:
Error: 400 page not found
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? For instance, is there a setting or parameter that needs to be set?
Greatly appreciate any help!

HI,
Whenever we print the viewer does an auto postback, I believe due to this some of the values are getting missed. Moreover we are referring to the viewer and reportdocument object, it seems. So can you try this simple code in an application to see if it helps:
ReportDocument rdoc = new ReportDocument();
rdoc.Load("C:\TASKECrystalReports\Intraday.rpt");
rdoc.SetDatabaseLogon("uid","pwd");
rdoc.SetParameterValues("parameter name","value");
CrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = rdoc;
Helps?
Thanks.

Crystal Report (RDC) doesn't print correctly, after Printer change ?

There are problems with the page format and the color settings for the new printer !
It should be resolved with ADAPT01104291 FixPack3.8
Description: Crystal reports may not print properly after users change printers by using the SelectPrinter command from the Report Designer Component (RDC). The cause of the problem is that the incorrect DEVMODE structure size is allocated to the print job.
We are using CRXI_R2_SP5_Upgrade: ProductID=11.5.11.1470.2.26.Patch
but we still have the problems !

Hello Don, thank you for your extensive answer. The PCL printer of HP is not the trouble maker. The problem is obviously replicable with any other Printer Driver (Espon/Sharp/Kycocera a. s. o.) I only installed this PCL Printer Driver of course you mentioned it in your example before.
Okay, let's talk about the Devcap-Program and there Information about the paper source of a printer. Even in Visual Basic it's possible to get those Information by Win-API-Call's. Here they are:
PrinterID: , AusgabeName: , TreiberName: , Port: LPT1:, TrackDefault: , PaperSize:
Papier-Schächte:
Automatisch auswählen, Nr: 15
Automatische Druckeraus, Nr: 262
Schacht 1, Nr: 261
Schacht 2, Nr: 260
Schacht 3, Nr: 259
Schacht 4 (2000-Blatt), Nr: 258
Manueller Einzug (Schac, Nr: 257
Papier-Formate:
Letter, Nr: 1
Legal, Nr: 5
Statement, Nr: 6
Executive, Nr: 7
A3, Nr: 8
A4, Nr: 9
A5, Nr: 11
B4 (JIS), Nr: 12
B5 (JIS), Nr: 13
11x17, Nr: 17
Umschlag 10, Nr: 20
Umschlag DL, Nr: 27
Umschlag C5, Nr: 28
Umschlag B5, Nr: 34
Umschlag Monarch, Nr: 37
Jap. Doppelpostkarte gedreht, Nr: 82
12x18, Nr: 131
9x12, Nr: 132
C4, Nr: 133
Maximum 11,7 x 17,7, Nr: 134
and even set those Information for the RDC-Sturcture, so there is a solution for the setting of the paper size.
But there is not solution for the setting of the color nor the further page settings (Printing onesided or bothsided a.s.o.)
I can change the default windows printer settings but that has no effect on the RDC-Print ! So I think, there must be a solution by the Crystal-Report-Design-printing-DLL (craxdrt.dll) !
Greetings V. Hölscher

Links not working when published

I know, I know, this topic has been discussed before but I am very very new at this and most answers I just don't understand (I am used to visiting not building sites). Anyway, I am having a **** of a time getting some links in my webpages to work (better said, most work, some not). I don't understand, I've checked all links, no problems (not even when published locally). But when I FTP it to my host something seems to get lost in the transfer. I've deleted the pages where this problem occurs and made new ones. Doesn't help. Does any one have any idea and know how to explain the answer to me in the simplest terms? I would be so very grateful!
thanx

The correct ftp settings would be your username and password and what you use to connect to your server. If you have already uploaded your site, then these settings would be correct. If using Cyberduck with incorrect settings, you would not be able to connect to your hosting space full stop.
Anyway, you said that you were just uploading the contents? If this is the case, perhaps if some of your links do not work, then you have not uploaded all the files that you need to. If uploading the contents of your site folder, then when Cyberduck asks you to upload, or you click it under action at the top, it will ask you to select the files - normally you would go to User and then Sites and then click on your site folder. When this shows up, click on the first file that is shown and do a select all and this will then upload all the contents. Check to ensure that all the html pages are there, plus their relevant folders - these folders contain all the CSS - so for each html page their is a folder of the same name e.g. About Us.html and About Us folder. There are also feed files that need to be uploaded too.
What you can try to see if it works is to upload your whole site folder and separate index file and see if the links work when you do this. Your url will be different if you do this, but just try it and see.
The other problems when links do not work is that you could have either an image or another text box too near to the navigation menu or link that covers it up so that it will not work. Go into iWeb and check this by doing a command A to see placement and you can then move images and text boxes around if this is the case.

The navigation menu does not appear when published to folder and my 12 photos are not on the site either

The navigation menu does not appear when published to a file. My 12 photos are also absent as well, just as if they wernt added.
I have tried rebuilding the site but the same problem appears. Everything else seems perfect up to tha publidhed file.
Has anyone had the same problem,
John
