Crystal Report grouping issue

I have a report with 2 groups. I first group by Profile then Location with there being 1 Profile and 2 Locations that exist within that profile. I have a subreport in the Location Group header that reports correctly with Location 1 on page 1 and Location 2 on page 2. I then want to summarize the data by profile. I currently have another subreport in the Profile footer that I hoped would accomplish this, but instead I only get the totals from the first location and not the second. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Any suggestions would be helpful.
DSmith

Do you want the sum from each locations? you can use shared variables to pass the values from subreport to main report. Also you mentioned that you placed the subreport in profile footer. Does this subreport consist of all the fields that you have in subreports placed in location1 and location2?

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 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...

Possible Crystal Reports Underline Issue?

As posted here by Ryan Durkin
http://forums.msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/vscrystalreports/thread/f2b7317f-a83b-43fa-99e9-21e7434830db
This problem has been bugging me for ages and I just can't figure out why it is happening. I have created a Crystal report in Visual Studio 2005 using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005. I have underlined the Group Header Name and set it to "Can Grow = true" but spaces appear beteween the words:
e.g. Part 1 - Work undertakend from 5 November 2003 up to 31 December 2003
If i change Can Grow = false then the spaces disappear but obviously the text is cut off:
e.g. Part 1 - Work undertakend from 5 November 2003 up to 31 Dece
Just to confuse things even more, If you export the report to PDF or Word with Can Grow = true then the spaces disappear?? This seems to only be an issue when previewing the report with Cystal Report Viewer on a form. This means that the end user cannot directly print from the preview and they have to export it to file and then print the report.

Hi Neon,
After getting Ludek's suggestion I tried a report created with SQL2000's Pubs database and increased the Author's filed to 35 characters.
In the designer I right-clicked on the field in details section -> Format object and checked the can grow option.
I can see the report with extended (35 characters) in aspx window.
No sp applied in this environment!
So, can you please try the above steps and let us know if it helps!

Crystal Report Grouping Formula

Experts,
In Crystal repot how can we have Grouping formula basis, i.e
there are two coulmns
1. GRPO Doc No
2. GRPO Doc No (Has GRNA)
now if column 2 has value it should do grouping with this or
if column 1 has value then grouping should be done on col1.
Now i have put one field on other in one single Column, so if GRPO Doc No is present it shows value or vice versa

Hi,
Insert Group in crystal reports for
1. GRPO Doc No
2. GRPO Doc No (Has GRNA)
Then supress the groups1 when GRPO Doc No is blank and silarly for other.
it will resolve the issue.
Thanks,

SAP tab in Crystal Reports 2013 issue

We are using SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP3 to build reports on BEX queries (BW 7.2). Creating a report via 'File' --> New connection --> BW MDX driver works fine, I can select bex queries & cubes and see the data. However SAP provided tab 'SAP' does not work as expected. When adding a new bex query using SAP--> Create new report from a query, I can see the list of queries and select one but it does not open and throws the following error -
"An error occurred while generating a new report templete.
No error"
Using the "File" option any change to the .rpt file forces BO admin to update "DB logon" information in CMC (currently i cannot save .rpt file directly on enterprise from Crystal client due to some issue) and we want to avoid this kind of maintainence using SAP authentication provided by using SAP tab, also the Crysal report prompts when run from BI launch pad request for prompt values twice (once for the report and once to pull list of values for each prompt) which can be avoided using SAP tab. I thought access to dev BW server is fine since the "File" tab works fine. Our BASIS team confirmed BOBJ dev servers have access to BW gateway. Am I missing something here, please help me with your experience and ideas to troubleshoot this as the only solution i could google was from a 2012 SAP recommended article to fix reginfo configuration files on SAP server
I reinstalled Crystal Reports client twice to make sure intallation was not the issue.
Thanks

Crystal report font issue when rendered as PDF

Hi we are experiencing an issue with custom fonts within Crystal reports. The font is an open type font that does appear to work if the report is viewed as a crystal report, but when it is rendered or scheduled into a PDF instance it fails and gives a Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error when using openDocument and scheduling gives exporter error. Any help or feedback is appreciated

Aaron,
OpenType is not supported for PDF at least in:
Crystal 10
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1218086
XIR2
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1219411
The ADAPT indicated has been postponed.
I canu2019t find an official statement for XI 3.1, however, there is a test you can run and itu2019s to delete the Opentype font from the server and use the same font name but TTF instead. At least, this behaviour has been reported here:

Crystal report parameter issue in SAP B1 8.8

Hi Experts,
We are facing following issue in Crystal report SAP B1 8.8 version
Can not open crystal report without mentioning optional parameters.
User is forced to mention all parameters
User should allow to open crystal report by mentioning mandetory parameters
if We set for the parameter value of field [Optional Prompt] to 'True' and then preview in SAP Business One, then although the dialogue is displayed, click 'OK' without populating the parameter value, the report is run
but in our case we are passing parameters through Stored Procedure and this option is block in report to do so.
means that option available to make optional true / false is block and we are not able to do anything.
Pls. provide solution

B1 8.8 crystal report publishing issue

upgraded to 8.8 last night from b1 2007
have crystal reports that were working with the old CR reports addon for B1 version 2007.
I imported the same crystal reports into 8.8 using the report and layout manager.
When I go to run the report, the input parameters that are displayed are incorrect.
There report has 4 parameters in the report designer, 8.8 displays 11 input parameters. 4 of them have not title.
these reports are complex- mutliple sub reports populated by stored procedures, with all the parameter linked together, through crystal linking wizard.
let me reiterate: these reports worked fine in the old CR reports addon for b1 version 2007.
I even looked through the online training- I couldn't find a section pertaining to linking a crystal report into B1.

There is a large document relating to writing Crystal reports for 8.8. Check the documentation section under the 8.8 landing page.
Not all reports are easily imported between versions. There is a different method of creating parameters called SAP tokens, not always required. The use of views and commands does not easily translate between versions.
I have come across an issue with using optional parameters but it only seems to apply to some reports & not others, but it is with SAP Development.

IE11 and Crystal Reports Viewer issue

We have a Delphi application which launches Crystal Reports through a Java Web Module. The Delphi application gives users the option to view a single report or multiple reports (Crystal Reports). In previous versions of IE, everything worked fine. However, when we launch multiple reports in IE11, the first report loads properly but the other reports do not open the report in the new window. It opens our home page. So, first pop-up window shows the report1 without issues. Other pop-up windows for report2 – reportN, shows our home page instead of the requested report. Is there a fix for this issue?

Crystal Reports Charting Issue with SAP Function Module

I created a custom SAP Function module that returns 2 tables. The first table (summary table) contains two columns, column "a" contains a grouping and column "b" is a quantity. The second table is the detail and is linked to the first table by the grouping, column "a" , in both tables. I can bring the function module into Crystal Reports, but cannot create a drill down using a pie chart off the summary table. When I go into the Chart Expert - Data Tab only the Advance button is active and the Group, Cross-Tab, and OLAP buttons are deactivated. First of all, is it possible to do this using a SAP Function Module, if yes, what am I doing wrong.

hello Jhess,
i am not sure if you found an answer for your question yet. if you have a Group and a Summary on your report (i.e. the Sum of your Quantity field) then group charts should be enabled.
cheers,

Crystal Reports logon issue across firewall - Transport error:communication

Hi,
We are facing an error when we try to logon to the BO server using the crystal reports tool (Crystal Reports Enterprise XI Release 2 ) outside the firewall. The login is working fine when inside the firewall. The BO server is on a unix box within the customer network and we are trying to login from a PC (using Crystal Reports Enterprise XI Release 2) which is outside that network. The following are the errors we get when trying to logon using authentication as "Enterprise" and system name as "fully qualified server name:6400"
1. Without including any IP addresses in the PC host file we get "Transport error:communication failure" on login.
2. When I included the IP and name of the BO server in the PC host file (xx.xx.xx.xx host name) we get an error - "CMS host 'xxxx' address was resolved properly,but cannot be reached to establish a CMS connection.Verify your router/firewall allows communication on port 6400."
(The IP address I include in the PC host file is the actual IP address of the BO server)
3. I know we have natted IP addresses.. and the IP address of the BO server appears to be different when I do a ping to the BO server from outside the customer network i.e from the external PC. When I include the IP address in the host file (which I get from the ping <servername> outside the customer network from my PC) I get "Transport error:communication failure".
The port 6400 has been opened in the firewall. We are able to login to the CMC link and the Info view without any issues.
It will be great to get some advise on this as it has become a high priority issue in our workspace now.
Thanks,
Reeti

Hi All,
I had a breakthrough in logging to BOX1R2 Crystal Reports client outside the firewall. The following was done in our case:
1. Open the port 6400 on the server to allow traffic from outside the firewall.
2. Add the following command at the end in the cmsLAUNCH command line in ccm.config (ours is a BO server on Sun OS)
-port FQDN:6400 -requestport XXXX
The -port parameter was explicitly specified to make CMS explicitly listen on port 6400.
The -requestport parameter was added to configure the server to register a fixed port (which has external access) with the CMS rather than letting it choose a dynamically selected one...so XXXX can be any port which is not allocated to any app and is also open in the firewall)
Thanks,
Reeti

Crystal Reports Installation Issue (Error 1904/ HRESULT -2147024769)

Hi,
While installing Crystal Reports 2008 -trial version on Windows-xp I am getting the following error:
"Error 1904. Module C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\ReportSourceBridge.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147024769. Contact your support personnel."
Integration Kit for SAP has not yet been installed. But Business Objects XI3.1 Client Tools are installed.
Crystal Reports version is 12.0.0.86.
Is it an compatibility issue or other problem? What is the resolution? Are there any Fix Pack available? Any alternative approach that works?
Any suggestions on this are welcome.
Regards,
Amogh

Hello,
Download Crystal Reports 3.1. It should be version 12.1.0.xxx. It may be the order you are installing also, Install CR first and then the other parts.
1904 is a MSIExec error code. Typically it's due to outdated Microsoft installer or permissions and/or network speed or.... Be sure you are logged in as the local PC administrator or have the same rights as. Copy the installer to your local hard drive and run the setup.exe by right clicking on it and selecting Run as Administrator...
Here's a link for the full build of SP1: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006556612009E/cr2008v1win_rf.exe
