Crystal report for vs 2012 formatting details section

Hi All,
I am taking value from a formula-
if( {Table.Role} like "*ceomd*" )
then
{Table.FullName}
else
I have put these formulas in the details section ; I want to show this report like as below
view 1
ceo - Name of the person
technical contact - name of the person
supply chain - name of the person
but unfortunately its not working; it is coming on multiple pages
then I tried to put in to table structure
view 2
ceo | technical contact |supply chain
Name of the person | name of the person | name of the person
then is coming with blank rows
either of above view is fine with me.
can you please help me?
many thanks

Crystal Reports for Eclipse and CR2008 with subreports

CR 2008, Ver.12.0.0.683
Crystal Reports for Eclipse Plug-in Details:
all Plug-in-files from Business Objects have the version 12.2.200.r454
I create a report with subreports in CR2008. It's running perfect.
When I load this report with subreports to Eclipse I can see the subreports in the report and I can click into the subreports. Each subreport is working in Preview, but when I want to preview the whole report with the subreports I get a black screen and the error

Hi Ted,
the error happens in the preview of the main report. Each subreport preview in this main report is running.

Crystal Reports for Eclipse and CR2008

SQL-Server 2005
CR 2008, Ver.12.0.0.683
Crystal Reports for Eclipse Plug-in Details:
all Plug-in-files from Business Objects have the Versions 1.0.4.v1094 or 11.8.0.v20060727 except "CR for Eclipse Dev.Guide": Ver. 1.0.0.v1094
I created a report with CR 2008 and load this report with eclipse. A preview in CR and eclipse is running perfect.
When I bind this report to a jsp I get the error "Es wurde keine Rowsetspalte für das SQL-Ausdrucksfeld "strRefNo" gefunden", in english
"no rowset-column for sql-statement "strRefNo""
General this kind of SQL-statement is not working. This statement is a function which needs first a value from the database.
When this value is fixed in the statement, the report is running in the jsp otherwise I get the error.
When I delete this statement in eclispe, save this report, redo my delete and save the report again, the report is running with jsp!
May be, there is a version conflict between CR and eclipse.
I have to create the reports in CR2008 but I can not save the report in CR2008 to an older version.
Is there a newer version for eclipse, which works with CR2008? I could not find any other version.
Do you have other ideas?
Thanks!
Jens

Hi Bryan,
thank you for your good informations.
I have downloaded the complete new eclipse and I don't get this error anymore.
But in the next step, I tried a report with subreports. This is complete not working in Eclipse. When I load this report to Eclipse Ican see and click into the subreports. Each subreport is working in Preview, but the whole reports does not work (black screen), I get the error

Format Column Header in Crosstab Query in Crystal Reports for Enterprise

Hi
I am using Crystal reports for Enterprise and I would like to format the Column header of a crosstab query one block of colour say light blue. However I cannot select the header in isolation to the rest of the cross tab. All I can select is either column text boxes, which doesnu2019t look good formatted as a different colour to the background of the crosstab. Or I can only select either entire column or the entire row, which kind of defeats the object of formatting just the column header itself. Is there a way to isolate the column headers so I can format just the header, as the report is looking extremely bland all in white?
Many Thanks in advance
Regards
Neil

Alright, here's what you need to do:
1) RIght-click one of the Column Headers and select 'Format Result Object Element' > Appearance > click on the formula button (fx) beside 'Fill' and use this code:
if currentrowindex < 0 then crBlue
You wanted light blue right? So, the rgb value for light blue or sky blue would be 135-206-250. So, you can change the color by modifying the formula like this:
if currentrowindex < 0 then color(135,206,250)
If this is not the exact blue you're after, just google!
Hope this helps!

Crystal Report for Enterprise not displaying Long Text from BEx

Hello,
I am creating a report using SAP Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0 (Version 14.0.2) and the source of data is BEx query via OLAP connection created using IDT. I am using SAP BusinessObjects BI platform 4.0.
The Characteristic (which is hierarchy) in the Rows section of the BEx Query is set to display long text and as such, it displays long text when the query is executed in the BEx Analyzer. However, when it comes to Crystal Report, the short text is displayed in the report. Can I display long text in the Crystal Report? How?
Thanks,
KP

Venkat,
Thanks for your response. Please note, however, the transaction RAD1 does not exist. Let me provide more details about the current settings of the InfoObject.
The Characteristic is 'Item' (0CS_ITEM) and upon going to RSA1 > Modeling > InfoObjects > Item (0CS_ITEM) > Right Click > Display > Business Explorer (tab) > Text Type is set to 'Long Text' and BEx description is set to 'Long description' already.
When I run/execute the query with this Item characteristic, the results in BEx Analyzer is showing appropriate long text, however, Crystal Report for Enterprise shows short text only

License for Crystal Report for Visual Studion 2005

Hi All,
I am developing reports for my application using crystal reports for VS 2005. I read on microsoft site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318102 ) that the free server software supports three active requests to the server. It further says that developer will need to purchase additional licenses to increase scalability. I think that our application would need the additional license. However, i was unable to find a link on business objects site were i can buy the additional license for crystal report for VS 2005. The link takes me to license for Crystal report 2008. It would be great if you can answer my following questions:
- what version of crystal reports do we need to purchase?
- do we need license for each implementation or do we need license for the developers only.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Abdul

Great questions! Let's get at em, one at a time:
How would you define a print job?
- A print job will essentially be consumed any time the print engine (crpe32.dll) needs to do work. So, processing one report = a print job. However, say you have one subreport, now the number of print jobs = 2. Now, say the subreport is in the details section and runs once per record. And you have 100 records. You will be running 1 + 100 print jobs. Paging to another page consumes a print job. Zooming consumes a print job, exporting and printing to a printer consumes a print job. So, depending on the report and the number of users, print jobs may be used up quite quickly. You can increase the print job limit by modifying the PrintJobLimit in the registry. For CR 2008, the reg entry is here:
HKLMsoftware usiness objectssuite 12.0
eport application serverinprocserver
(the above is used irrespective of the SDK (CR, RAS, BOE))
I am not using report viewer to render the report. I use 'ExportToDisk' method to save the report in word or pdf format. Does 'ExportToDisk' make one print job?
- see above. Again, if the report has a subreport, this will consume at least two print jobs.
How much time does a typical print job takes to complete?
- no way to tell in general terms. There are too many variables that will affect this. From how complex the report to database connections to version of runtime
What care shall I take to reduce the print job time?
- Best you can do is ensure that you are destroying the report object once you are done with it (report.close, report.dispose)
Will using Report Application Server (RAS) or Business Objects Enterprise increase the number of concurrent print jobs? If yes then by what amount?
- no it will not
To utilize Report Application Server (RAS) or Business Objects Enterprise, do I just need to use a specific SDK or is there some thing more to it?
- You do need to use the RAS assemblies for RAS, BOE assemblies for BOE. More information is below.
Sample RAS apps:
https://boc.sdn.sap.com/samples/84/1194
An article on RAS:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10b840c0-623f-2b10-03b5-9d1913866b32

How to create a report with data using the Crystal Reports for Java SDK

Hi,
How do I create a report with data that can be displayed via the Crystal Report for Java SDK and the Viewers API?
I am writing my own report designer, and would like to use the Crystal Runtime Engine to display my report in DHTML, PDF, and Excel formats. I can create my own report through the following code snippet:
ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
However, I cannot find a way to add data elements to the report without specifying an RPT file. Is this possible? I seems like it is since the Eclipse Plug In allows you to specify your database parameters when creating an RPT file.
is there a way to do this through these packages?
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.definition
Am I forced to create a RPT file for the different table and column structures I have?
Thank you in advance for any insights.

Hi Rameez,
After working through the example code some more, and doing some more research, I remain unable to populate a report with my own data and view the report in a browser. I realize this is a long post, but there are multiple errors I am receiving, and these are the seemingly essential ones that I am hitting.

Throws the exception
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: java.lang.NullPointerException---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed
There was other sample code on SDN which suggested the following - adding the table after calling table.setDataFields() as in:
          String tableName = "Building";
            String fieldname = "Building_Name";
            Table oTable = new Table();
            oTable.setName(tableName);
            oTable.setAlias(tableName);
            oTable.setQualifiedName(tableName);
            oTable.setDescription(tableName) ;
            Fields fields = new Fields();
            DBField field = new DBField();
            field.setDescription(fieldname);
            field.setHeadingText(fieldname);
            field.setName(fieldname);
            field.setType(FieldValueType.stringField);
            field.setLength(40);
            fields.add(field);
            oTable.setDataFields(fields);
            oTable.setConnectionInfo(oConnectionInfo);
            rcd.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null);
This code succeeds, but it is not clear how to add that database field to a section. If I attempt to call the following:
FieldObject oFieldObject = new FieldObject();
            oFieldObject.setDataSourceName(field.getFormulaForm());
            oFieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
            // Now add it to the section
            oFieldObject.setLeft(3120);
            oFieldObject.setTop(120);
            oFieldObject.setWidth(1911);
            oFieldObject.setHeight(226);
            rcd.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().add(oFieldObject, rcd.getReportDefController().getReportDefinition().getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0), -1);
Then I get an error (which is not unexpected)
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportDefControllerException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213283 Error code name:invalidFieldObject
How do I add one of the table.SetDataFields() to my report to be displayed?
Are there any other pointers or suggestions you may have?
Thank you

Here seems to be that a plugin is not loaded : com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.infostore.internal.InfoObjects||Assertion failed: Java plugin for CommonConnection is not loaded.
could this affect the performance of Crystal Reports for Enterprise and how could I fix this ?
Best Regards
Anis

Venkat,
Thanks for your response. Please note, however, the transaction RAD1 does not exist. Let me provide more details about the current settings of the InfoObject.
The Characteristic is 'Item' (0CS_ITEM) and upon going to RSA1 > Modeling > InfoObjects > Item (0CS_ITEM) > Right Click > Display > Business Explorer (tab) > Text Type is set to 'Long Text' and BEx description is set to 'Long description' already.
When I run/execute the query with this Item characteristic, the results in BEx Analyzer is showing appropriate long text, however, Crystal Report for Enterprise shows short text only

Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008 - dbf

Hello,
I use both Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 on same PC. I can not work with dbf files (format foxpro2x, dbase IV) in VS 2005 and VS 2008.
Q1. Work Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008 with database files - dbf (version foxpro2x, dbaseIV)? I get error -
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
Failed to load database information
or with dbf files work only Full version of Crystal Reports?
Q2. How re-install Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2008. In setup Add/Remove features not exist Crystal Reports check box. I only Repair/reinstall all Visual Studio but after reinstall same error
Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer
Failed to load database information
3. When I can open sample project with Crystal Reports which use Crystal Reports (dbf file) this error is displayed:
Crystal Report Viever
Failed to load database information
Details: The database DLL "crdb_p2bxbse.dlll" could not be loaded.
4. I reinstal Crystal Report in Visual Studio 2005 - same error
5. I apply hotfix Crystal Reports for .NET 2005 - SP 1 - same error
Thank You
Ludek

Hi Ludek,
1-For dbase file to work you need have permission on database files for IIS as well as user accessing the database.
2-For re-install you need to insert the CD of visual studio setup then do custom install and then try to choose crystal reports for re-installing
3-The old viewer might cause the problem. In this case can you try connecting to a blank dbase file.
and for such issues we have a special forum [here|SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio;
Thanks,
Hitesh Mangtani

Crystal Reports for Enterprise connection error to BI 4.0 Platform

Hi All
We are trying to connect Crystal Reports for Enterprise to our BI 4.0 Platform, however we are getting the following error: "Failed to establish a connection. The cause was: Cannot connect to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise at this time. Please try again later".
System Information:
- SAP BI Platform 4.0 SP02 patch 6
- Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit
- Tomcat 6.0.24
We have also installed the following client software:
- SAP BI Platform Client Tools 4.0 SP02
- SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0 SP02
- SAP BI Platform Client Tools 4.0 SP02 Patch 6
- SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0 SP02 Patch 6
Our deployment of the BI Platform is a distributed system where
- Server 1 hosts the BI Platform Services and
- Server 2 hosts the web application server
We have reviewed the following OSS Notes below from SAP first to determine if there is a technical issue :
- 1598906 - Crystal Reports for Enterprise gives Cannot Connect to SAP Business Objects Enterprise at this time. Please try again later.
We have adjusted the "dsws.properties" as mentioned in the OSS note 1598906 above to contain the correct CMS and CMS port number (for Server 1).
- 1602024 - Error - Failed to establish a connection. The cause was - Cannot Connect to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise at this time.
We have entered the server context as "/dswsbobje" mentioned in the OSS note 1602024 above in the connection details for CR for Enterprise connections
- 1636862 - Login for Crystal Reports fail on BO Server Cannot Connect to SAP Business Objects Enterprise at this time.
We have checked the proxy settings of Internet Explorer and adjusted it to have the following exceptions defined:
- Server 1.<domain_name>
- Server 2.<domain.name>
In the CMC, we also checked in the applications section for the web service option's access URL andchanged it from http://localhost:8080/dswsbobje to http://server2:8080/dswsbobje
We restarted the tomcat service and tried to access the CR for Enterprise from the BI Launch Pad as well as starting it directly from Windows, howevere we still get the same error.
Regards
Derek

Hi Anna-Marie
I apologise for only responding now back.
I have managed to logon successfully from Crystal Reports for Enterprise 2011 to the BI 4.0 Platform now, where we can create a report and save the report back to the BI Platform.
As we have a distributed system, where the BI Platform is on one server (Server1) and the WebAs on another server (Server2). We had to adjust thefollowing settings on the WebAs system.
1. On the WebAs server (Server 2), in the directory <install drive>:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF we changed the file: web.xml by entering the default CMS.
    <context-param>
        <param-name>cms.default</param-name>
        <param-value>Server2:6400</param-value>
    </context-param>
2.Then also in the directory <install drive>:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Tomcat6\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\classes we changed the file: dsws.properties where the section for domain=Server2 to domain=Server1 (example below from the file)
#default host for CMS and will be replaced during installationdomain=Server1:6400
3. In internet explorer's proxy exceptions, we set the following:
server1.<domain>*
server2.<domain>*
4. In the local Intranet setting, we also set the site as:
http://*.<domain>
Now for my laptop the connection works with no issues, but another developer's does not work - so we are busy investigating what is different between my laptop and his laptop.
Update:
We found that a setting inside the Crystal Reports for Enterprise 2011 in the network settings had to also be adjusted.
5. Use the menu path: Edit > Preferences > Network settings
6. Switch from "use system proxy configuration (if available)" to "Manual proxy configuration"
Enter the HTTP proxy address: proxy_server
Enter the Port: 80 (example)
Enter the list of servers to bypass: Server1;Server2
Check the checkbox "Enable proxy authentication"
Enter a username
Enter a password
Click on the OK button.
7. Afterward change the setting from "Manual proxy configuration" to "use system proxy configuration (if available)"
Then Crystal Reports for Enterprise 2011 works correctly.
What we found was that Crystal Reports for Enterprise 2011 must authenticate against the proxy server first otherwise one has issues.
Regards
Derek

Help needed while exporting crystal reports to HTML file format using java api(not using crystalviewer).i want to download the
html file of the report

the ReportExportFormat class does not have HTML format, it has got to be XML. Export to HTML is available from CR Designer only.

Publishing Crystal Reports for Enterprise error

When I try to publish a Crystal Reports for Enterprise report, using Publication options, in order to send it by email to three of my users, it shows the following error:
2014-07-03 10:20:32,390 ERROR [PublishingService:HandlerPool-1] BusinessObjects_PublicationAdminErrorLog_Instance_16070 - [Publication ID # 16070] - Scheduling document job "Users - with Logon Events" (ID: 16,077) failed: Exception in formula '{@Record_Selection}' at 'and (
({Auditing.Events\User Name} = "Larry") or ({Auditing.Events\User Name} = "Curly") or ({Auditing.Events\User Name} = "Moe")
The remaining text does not appear to be part of the formula. (CRS 300003) (FBE60502)
[3 recipients processed.]
It is weird because the report is one of those that are by default used for Auditing and it runs perfectly when I run it manually or by Schedule. The problem is when I include it in a Publication, so it can be filtered automatically based on the list of users.
I tried with another of those reports that come with Auditing, and it has the same problem. Is it a bug? Are you able to replicate this error in your environment? I'm using Crystal Reports 2013 sp3.

Hi Abhilash,
I am able to open and edit other reports on the server without problem. I believe that they are the same version and pack. Here are my versions:
CR for Enterprise Version 14.1.3.1257, Build 2013 Support Pack 3.
SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 3, Version 14.1.3.1257
When CRE displays an error like this, is there further information in a log or recorded anywhere else? How does one go about finding details?

Crystal Report For Eclipse: POJO problem

Hi all,
I am using crystal report for eclipse basic version and used POJO-method to implement for users to viewing my report.
I did the following:
I created a sql page (create a target table) and import into crystal report (through crystal report designer under eclipse environment) E.g. let's say I created a table with 10 fields and imported into the crystal report.
Then I drag and drop through crystal report for my report design.
Later if I need to add one more field .....
I need to modified my SQL page and re-import the sql page into my crystal report. HOWEVER, through this re-import process, I lost all the detail/information on the existing report (that mean I need to re-design my report through the designer under eclipse environmet).
My question is: Is there any better way for me to implement my report ???
THANKS .. THANKS a lot as this problem make me use a lot of my time ... THANKS

In the sceario you have described (using a SQLPage as the datasource for the report), unfortunately, this is a limitation of the workflow. If you need to change the SQL, then you essentially need to remove and re-add it to the report which means replacing all the fields on the report.
Instead, I would recommend using a class as the report's datasource. The class would represent the fields that would be used in your POJO object. This way if you need to modify the fields in the POJO, you can simply update the class and use the Verify Database to update the report.
