Crystal Report - Help!

I am looking at the existing report.
At the Database expert, under the selected tables, I have "C:\temp\example.ttx" and after i branch it out, i saw example under the example.ttx
however i have search everywhere but i couldn't find example.ttx. so what is this ttx file and how do i create it?

i would be surprise to know if a java developer is using java.io.writer api to generate report.I'm not sure if you've ever worked as a developer before. Every system and library, as similar as it may be to something else, is still unique and has its own nuances, and not everyone can be familiar with every single tool/library out there. I'm surprised a person who claims to be a Java developer would post a query about a third party tool on the Java forums instead of looking for forums specific to that tool.

  • Basic Crystal Report Help- collapsing groups

    I am using Crystal for the first time as part of my company's trial period of the software. 
    I created a very basic report, but am having difficulty figuring out to collapse my groups.  I have a group with 3 major categories. I want the first report view to show only the three categories, but then give the user the ability to drill down to the detail for a particular category.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Also, any help docuementation would be great : )
    Thanks!
    Kathryn

    In the left margin, right click on the section called "Details", and click on Hide in the pop up.
    Do the same for Group Footer #1.
    The sections should now have diagonal lines through them indicating that they are hidden or suppressed.
    When you run the report, you should only see Group Header#1 diplaying with data, but if you double click on the Group Name field, it should drill into the section, create another tab, and expose the underlying details.

  • Crystal Report Hyperlink to Sub-report or other report

    Hi,
    I would like to create a report on which the first part will show project summary page. The second part will have all project detail pages and third part with all project financial informations.
    The report should work in such a way whenever user clicks on any project at first summary page this has to jump to corresponding detail page of projects.
    I have the following question regarding design of this report.
    1. Do I need to create a saparate report as a sub report and then merge with main report in a footer section? Or is it ok to create sub-report within main report through sub-report wizard option?
    2. How can I establish hyperlink between the pages i.e. summary to detail pages?
    3. back hyperlink to first pages.
    I am expecting more information about hyperlink options within Crystal report.
    Thanks
    -Sunil Prasad

    Hi Sunil
    - For your first question: . Do I need to create a saparate report as a sub report and then merge with main report in a footer section? Or is it ok to create sub-report within main report through sub-report wizard option?
    You can create a separate report and then insert it as a subreport in the main report or create it with sub report wizard.
    Once you click on Insert -> Subreport, you can see there are two options, one is to point to an existing report and another is to create it through wizard.
    - 2. How can I establish hyperlink between the pages i.e. summary to detail pages?
    You can use the hyperlink between report objects.  Also you can apply a customized formula for this.
    Check the below SAP Notes:

  • Crystal Reports 2008 Online Training

    Not sure if this is the appropriate forum, but I don't see one on training.
    Has anyone take the SAP Online Training courses for Crystal Reports 2008?
    Did you find them beneficial?
    Do you feel they provide adequate resources and train in a way the lends itself to helping you pass the certification exam?

    It sounds like you have a really solid foundation for learning, so that will be a big help.  As to how useful the classes are for obtaining certification, it depends.  (Good) Instructor led will always be better, even if it's online, IMO, because a good instructor will be able to provide context to why you might consider doing something within Crystal Reports.  There are exercises in the classes, for example, on how to technically use a feature, but not necessarily instructions on appropriate use of or caveats to using the feature.
    That being said, the certification exams themselves don't rely so much on experience as they do rote memory.  Thoroughly reading through the excellent Crystal Reports help file (one of the most comprehensive help files I've seen) in preparation for an exam can help greatly.
    What do I mean when I say the exams are horrid?  Here's are examples based on my last exam:
    It had a question about the proper name for a feature where the name doesn't exist in Crystal Reports or anywhere in the training guides (which I have, because I teach Crystal Reports).  I came back home, searched or the term in the help file.  It didn't exist...
    I was asked 4 variations of the same question.   Seriously...  This can hose you, since most people will go back and verify they answered them all the same.  If one's wrong, they're all wrong...
    There were multiple choice answer questions where it's really only important for you to know any one of the ways to do something, not every single way to do something.  Example:  Which 3 of these four answers will let you do X?  Why do you need to know all three ways when knowing one will get the job done? Does knowing that I can create a new formula by clicking a button or right-clicking make me more of an expert?  I had an interesting conversation with my boss the other day - we had a webex session going to review a report and everything she did was the opposite of what I would do (she clicked a button to create a formula and I right-click within the field explorer, for example).
    I was asked a question for which there were two possible answers out of the four, but only one was allowed.   I could be right, but still get it wrong.  That's really irritating...
    The tests are frustrating, to say the least.

  • How to create a clickable Table of contents using Crystal Reports 8.5

    How to create a clickable Table of contents using Crystal Reports 8.5. I was able to create the table of contents using subreport and temporary table. but not able to link to the pages.
    how to make it clickable ?
    -Vivek

    Hi Vivek,
    To you may create on demand sub report.
    In main report only the link will be shown when you click on the link the sub report will be opened in a new tab.
    It can be placed in a Group header and to show the data for that particular group only.
    Click on the Help menu in the crystal Reports Designer and open the Crystal Reports Help
    Go to Index tab and type in subreport
    Select Creating On demand you will get lot of information on that.
    Please let us know if that is enough to solve your problem

  • Please help with my crystal reports server 2008 trial setup

    Firstly, if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it. I find this forum is to big to find the information i need, in fact trying to find anything i need on this website is almost impossible. So far not impressed with SAP at all! we download a trial and when we have problems nobody can support us and we have to post in the forums for answers, which i find disgracefull to be honest. So this post is my last attempt of finding the answers to my problems or we are going to forget crystal reports server for good! I was also told that if i wanted help setting this up then i would have to pay, thats not how things usually go when we download a trial of any software!
    Anyway, rant over!!
    Right, we have windows server 2008 and have installed crystal reports server 2008. So far all i have managed to get working is the reports themselves which run and schedule fine. The dashboard and business views are so confusing i just dont get it at all, the manuals dont help either becuase they are rubbish basically. But my first problem is trying to get windows AD authentication working! easier said than done. I have spent 4 days trying to get it working but nothing is happening. this is what i have done so far
    Set up all the options in the CMC to enable AD authentication, mapped a few groups one of which i am a member of.
    Then i setup the krb5.ini file like below (removed my server name and domain name)
    [libdefaults]
        default_realm = DOMAIN.CO.UK
        dns_lookup_kdc = true
        dns_lookup_realm = true
        udp_preference_limit = 1
    [realms]
    DOMAIN.CO.UK = {
        kdc = DC.CO.UK
        default_domain = DOMAIN.CO.UK
    i also have that other file bscLogin which looks like this...
    com.businessobjects.security.jgss.initiate {
    com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required;
    The server inteligence agent has been set to use the same username as i specified in the CMC which is also the service principal name and the administartion name
    i have set the web config file to use SecWINAD as default, i have also set it to give the option of enterprise, win ad etc in a drop down list
    i have gone round in circles for days following the instructions, and nothing is happening
    Also i dont see any usernames within the groups i have mapped , am i supposed to see any? am i supposed to add them manually?? if so, whats the point in that?
    So now everytime i try to log in i get this error message
    Account Information Not Recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again. If you are not a member of the default domain, enter your user name as UserName@DNS_DomainName, and then try again. (FWM 00006)
    There is also another error message i get, which isnt coming up right now but it says somthing along the lines of could not authenticate at this time (FWM 00005)
    i fail to see what im doing wrong. I shoudl also point out that the username i am using for everything is our own network admin password!
    any ideas on things to check before we give up with this all together?

    Hi Roberto,
    With the changes when SAP took over BusinessObjects the support packaging also changed. It's the way it is now but we are moving to and giving as much options as we can. SAP works on the Self Serve practice. the info is available but you have to find it, which is another thing we are working on to improve for BOE/CRS.
    Best place to start is in the CMS link off the start menu, You'll find the Admin Guide and Setup/Configuration Guides. You can also find all of the latest info and updates to those guides from help.sap.com then click on the SAP BusinessObjects tab along the top and then on the left click on All Products and then filter on your version.
    Once the Firewalls and Domains and your CRS Server is added to the Trusted Domains and ports opened to allow CRS to talk to the DNS Server CRS will begin to load all of the users into it's User Mappings. You still have to add each user or Group of Users but they will be available. Documents does describe how to....
    Once you have the Admin Guide search on Security and it explains in details how to set up and which ports need to be opened etc.
    Thank you

  • Error: 'bobj' is undefined - crystal report for VS2013 - please help ASAP

    Currently we are trying to migrate from VS2008 to VS2013 and we installed Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 on a windows 7 laptop. All our crystal report programs are migrated to VS2013. I downloaded Crystal report Support Pack 10 (v. 13.0.10.1385) executable version and installed it. Then opened our old project (from vs2008) in VS2013 and it went through the conversion process. Later I opened each .rpt file and saved in VS2013 so that the crystal report files will be saved in the new format.
    I am getting the Error: 'bobj' is undefined when I try to run the report. Am I using the correct service pack 10, or should I use service pack 9. I have read through all the posts related to this error in earlier version of VS. Is there any correct fixes for VS2013?
    This is urgent, I am stuck with this error. please help??? Thank you.

    Regards
    Karthik

    Hi Karthik,
    Ensure the report is using the correct connection information. For example, the data source name, server name, database name, and user name are correct.
    In a database-client test tool, ensure that the fields, tables, and procedures used by the report exist and that SQL queries can be executed against them.
    In the Crystal Reports designer, verify that the SQL query, as shown under the Database menu Show SQL Query option, does not contain syntax errors.
    If the SQL query shown in Crystal Reports is valid, execute the same SQL query through a database-client test tool.
    Is report working fine in designer?
    Which database connection are you using?

  • Help required in embedding flash file object into Crystal Report file.

    Hello,
          I use the default version of Crystal Report (i.e.'Crystal Report Basic For Visual Studio 2008 - version 10.5' ) which is the part of 'Visual Studio 2008', to create and display the Report. Further, as a requirement, I have to show 'Event Video' into the Report. But, as this default version of Crystal Report does not support Flash File, I uninstalled it and downloaded and installed the 30 days trial version of the Crystal Report (i.e. Crystal Report 2008 - version 12.0).
          Then, I created a new Crystal Report File using 'Crystal Report 2008 Designer', embedded the video as a Flash File(i.e. SWF file) into it. Now,  when I add this newly created Crystal Report File into my sample application, which is created using VS 2008, it does not shows the embedded video.
          So, can anybody please tell me, how can I embed the Flash File into Crystal Report, so that it will be visible in the sample application?
    I would like to appreciate your help and support.
    Thanks,

    Symptom :
    When embedding a pdf document into a Crystal Report, only the one page shows.
    Reproducing the Issue
    Environment:
    Crystal Reports OLE object
    Cause
    An OLE object only displays the first page.
    Resolution
    Embed multiple objects, one for each page
