Crystal Report Group section in new page

Hi all,
I have a program written in VB.Net 2005 which display a report. In this report, I have a group by Item type ascending.
When I run the program and load the report, it display the data correctly.
When I move my mouse cursor on Group Section Hearder on the report, it will change to Magnify icon.
When I double click on that Group title which is "Item Type" in my report, it will load a new page beside "Main Report" in Crystal tool bar.
Problem is it didn't contain Report Header/Footer or Page Header/Footer.
I like this feature but it only display the group section is not enough for me.
Why I like it is because my report will have different Item Type. Each type can list up to more than 1 page.
I want to print the report by Item Type. That means Item A may be total 2 pages, Item B may be total 6 pages.
All I need to do is load the page like I mention above, it will only contain that Item Type and click on Print to print out particular Item type.
Another issue is If i supress this Group Section in crystal report during design, when I run the program I can't double click to open up new page beside Main report.
Any idea and solution for my case????
Thanks.

Your report will need re-designing. What you are seeing is an expected behavior. Consider redesigning your report - possibly using subreports.
If i supress this Group Section in crystal report during design, when I run the program I can't double click
- again, an expected behavior. You suppressed the GroupSection. E.g.; you made it invisible / non functional / not needed by suppressing it...

How to limit row number per group without change new page in crystal report

Hi All Expert,
Is there any way to limit row number per group without change new page in crystal report 2008. The reason i do that is due to customer using printer EPSON LQ 300 (dot matrix) always will print in landscape if detech my layout in landscape. Because they need the record always print in 1 page (Letter size) for 2 groups and each group must show 5 records. Example:
But, in CR2008, if you set the row per group from group section expert, definitely it will change to new page, but I do not want it change to new page. Any Idea?
In one page (Letter size):
Group Name: Customer-ABC
NO INVOICE AMOUNT
1)   INV001     USD100
2)   INV002     USD100
3)   INV003     USD100
4)   INV004     USD100
5)   INV005     USD100
Group Name: Customer-ABC
NO INVOICE AMOUNT
6)   INV006     USD100
7)   INV007     USD100
8)   INV008     USD100
9)   INV009     USD100
10) INV010     USD100

Hi Angie.....
I guess it is not possible.
Because if you have one common group for all the 10 records then in one page it will show 10 records under one group.
I mean i think it is not possible but m not completely sure......
Lets wait for expert advise....

Crystal Reports grouping limits different then tree or tab menu limits...

Hi,This may not be the forum for this, but I figured that if I am trying to make a treemenu function as a replacement for the group tree in CR that it is somewhat relevant...I got a production system to run a test and it seems that the Crystal reports group tree control can easily display 3000+ items, no errors, warnings or any other abnormal behaviours. Why would it be possible for this to work, and not have that many elements in a treemenu or tabmenu without the page size limits? I've already discovered that in my case I need to break up the levels into smaller strings, but the page size becomes an issue. There are no ways that i have found to duplicate the group tree functionality with that many levels. Even the largest page size cannot display 3000+ items that I have been able to find.Thanks for any help you can give.   

this will work for viewing only in boe or in the crystal reports designer...<li>In Enterprise (CMC), navigate to the report you've just uploaded </li><li>From the process tab, select 'Print Setup' </li><li>In the 'Set the report's page layout' section, select the 'Custom Settings' option. </li><li>Choose a Height and Width for the report (for example - 40inches width, 10 inches high). </li><li>Click Update. </li><li>Go to the History tab and Click Run Now (assuming the report you've built doesn't have a massive quantity of data) </li><li>You should now be viewing your report with the screenspace chosen (40 inchs wide) - From the viewer, export the report to RPT and save it to your desktop. </li><li>Open the report in Crystal Reports and you will have the report with custom page settings to work with. </li>

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.

How can i use link in report to go to new page with parameters??

Hello
I've created a report and have added a link (to a html url) to one of the columns. Whenever i click that column in a row, a new page appears. At this moment this page is static. However, i want to show the details of the selected row in the report. This means that somehow i have to pass a parameter to the second page with the primary key of the selected report row.
Is there any way to do this?
Thanx
Ben

You can do this using SQL based reports.
Here is an example
select ''||empno||'' emplink,ename
from SCOTT.EMP
Here the link "http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jsp?id=" takes a parameter whose value is the empno.
In the column formatting section of SQL reports you should display this column as HTML and not TEXT.

Cannot save Crystal report layout or view new layout of report

I am trying to make a change to a system crystal report (cust. recievables detailed aging). I had to make the date feild a little wider, so I edited the "system layout" that came with SAP (in my test DB of course), and I go to add-ins>sap business one>save. I get the following error "current user has no permissions for this operation". I am logged in as a superuser and full perm.
If I "save-as" and save it to a layout in sap....when I go to open the aging with my newly created layout it freezes and asks for DB logon info to connect to my server from crystal. I do not normally have to do this when I preview my reports in the out of the box layouts. WHat am I doing wrong? I am new to crystal.

The system will not allow me to export the system crystal report....it is grayed out, and it IS a crystal report. HOwever I can open it in crystal, then save it to my desktop, then from INSIDE of SAP in the report and layout manager I import the crystal report I made the changes to from my desktop into SAP and it saves and imports no problems. However when I go to view the report (and this is only the ones I import), it prompts me with the db login for our server to connect, and it is only with that report, once I enter sa credentials it is fine and shows up from there on in, but not if I log out of SAP and back in...then I have to put in my credentials again. Is this something having to do with the report when I make changes to it? I cant have users entering login info each time they run the new aging details report. Please advise what I may be doing wrong when I make changes to a crystal report. It was a very minor change....just moved a feild width.

Need help on filtering out one record from a report and open in new page

Hi I am new and embarrassed to write in the forum asking silly questions. Thing is I am learning all from scratch without help from anyone. I have created a database (have previous knowledge only from Access) and have managed to create a beautiful report from a search filter. This report lines up several records matching what I needed. Now, I want to make the whole report with hyperlinks to a detailed page on each of the records in the report. I have tried using the feature where one can make one column hyperlinked and redirect to a new page, where I am getting all the records again - instead of only getting the record I am clicking on. I have looked and looked in the forums without finding solution and I have tested and tried various methods without luck. I am suspecting that I need some sort of knowledge on how to write a select query with where conditions that can apply to filtering out a record from one report to get another detailed on only one object (i.e. record). :/ Stupid or what?

Hrefna.
What you need to look into is two things:
1) The link you defined, needs to set additional attributes for the target page. In the "Column Link" box, you have set the link to "Page in this Application" and followed by the page number (let's say, Page 10). Below that, you should set an Item to an item on you target page (let's call that P10_PRODUCT_ID). This item should be the primary key of your detail table (on the targe page). You can select this item from the popup list. The Value of the item should be picked from a popup list as well, being the value from the record you clicked on. This should then transfer your selected item to your page. The URL will then have something like P10_PRODUCT_ID:5 at the end.
2) On the target page, 10, you must change the query slightly, so that it adds a WHERE clause:
WHERE PRODUCT_ID = :P10_PRODUCT_ID
Now, you should be set.
Hope this helps.

Crystal Report not listed Add New Item for Visual Studio 2010

I just finished installing cryestal report for visual studio 2010.
During the installation a visual studio error dialog popped up "Operation cannot be completed. Access Denied", the crystal report installation continued and was informed that the installation was successful.
But on opening my visual studio project to add new item, crystal report item is not listed there.
Is there anything that needs to be done to get it listed in the Add New Item dialog for visual studio?

I wonder what file you ran to install CRVS2010? Was it the MSI as opposed to the actual install file?
The link to the correct install is here:
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_13_0_2.exe
Is that the file you ran to install CRVS2010? E.g. as opposed to:
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_2.zip

Overwrite crystal report file name with new version but keep history

I am writing a Crystal Reports .NET SDK in C# code to upload a crystal report files from its destination to CMC folder on BO XI R2 Platform.
On "Upload Button" click_event, validate the two check boxes controls named "Keep History", and "Remove History". Once "Keep History" check box is selected, check If the SAME report file name exists in the same destination CMC folder, if Yes, overwrite it BUT Keep the History and all its associated objects like "recurring objects". If "Remove History" is selected, then remove the existing report and upload the new report file name.
Please provide me some codes on how to do this task. This is definitely a "WIN" - "WIN" effort and contribution to my Team Goals.
P.S. This is a similar scenario when you are uploading report on BO Enterprise R2 CMC.
When Uploading a new report to a folder but same report file name exists, the BO System will promt message "Report File Name" already exists. Do you want to Overwrite it?" If Yes, then system will overwrite the file but it will keep the history and recurring objects.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bien

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 Group-by-Summarized Data on SAP-BW

Hi experts
I am facing some strange problem while building report aginst SAP-BW
I have two groups of data set in crystal Reports
Ist group is on Business Area
2nd Group is on Cost Element(under business Area)
and (YTD- Amount) Across Business Area and Cost Element.
Problem: I am unable to get correct summarized amount for business area.(which should be sum of all cost elements under specific business area)
PS: I have done hireachial grouping as mentioned for SAP-BW practise.
And also tried to apply all summarized formulas with no result.
But iam unable to trace why it is happening.
Advance thanks
Krishna

did you try inserting the summary in a specific group footer?

Embedding Crystal Reports with parameters in web page

Hi,
I have created a sample report file and configured it with a parameter field. On embedding this report file in the web page, as expected I am prompted to enter value for the parameter. After entering value and clicking OK, CrystalReportViewerServlet delegates the call to the custom JDBC connector implementation which is the data provider. However, the web page doesnu2019t show the retrieved resultset but shows a page with some text like this:
{"update":{"children":[{"children":[
{"args":{"curPage":1,"numPages":"1"},"cons":"bobj.crv.newSelectPageControl"},{"args":{"searchText":""},"cons":"bobj.crv.newSearchTextControl"}
],"cons":"bobj.crv.newToolbar"},{"args":{"displayDrilldownTab":true,"initTabIdx":0},"children":[{"args":{"isMainReport":true,"label":"Main Report","viewStateId":"1"},"children":[{"args":{"content":"\r\n
On debugging I could see, that the parameter value from the prompt is correctly passed from the CrystalReportViewerServlet to the custom Connector (i.e., the sql query is updated with the parameter value) and the connector fetches the data also.
I also tried embedding another .rpt file with few parameter fields configured (where user input values are just passed to the details section of the report for display). However on running this web page also I get the same error.
Report files with no parameter fields configured are working fine when embedded in web page.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Regards,
Ria

I would take a look at running our simple [sample application |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/307224d2-3d11-2c10-fe86-d87bab901bee&overridelayout=true]that views reports to see if you have the issue there.

Cannot copy a section in new "Pages 5." Miss "dynamic templates."

I loved being able to create a document with tables, graphics and other detailed material on a page that was its own "section." Then when I wanted to re-use it IN THAT SAME DOCUMENT, like an order form for example, I could copy it as many times as I liked in the same docuemnt, delete whatever parts were not needed in the copy and use it as a kind of "dynamic template."
How do you copy a whole page all at once with complex content in the New pages?

You can't really, other than to manually select all the content starting at the top of the page and paste elsewhere.
Working with pages as pages has been abandoned in Pages.
I'm sorry.

Crystal report group by intervals on date field

I have a table which contains euipment related defects arranged on Date_Raised field. I have to grouped the records based on date_raised field and certain intervals like if date_riased field is < certifciate_complication_date, if date_raised falles between certficate_complication_date and final_certificate_date.
certificate_completion_date and final_completion_date field are parameters which are fetch from another table & pass onto report.
my problem is , crystal report in VS 2003 doesn't allows to enter parameters in specified group when you select this option. you have to enter fixed values.
Does anybody knows how to get around this, any quick help will be highly appreciable.
I have to do this in VS 2003 only.
Thanks,
Sunil

That version of CR is version 9 which does not have Dynamic Cascading Parameters. One option is to upgrade or possibly post your question to the Report Design forum and indicate you are using CR 9 functionality.
Other option is to use 2 Parameters with a start/end date prompt.
