Crystal Report Instance - running query when viewing?

Hi
Why would a Crystal Report that was scheduled and completed success fully try to run the query again when I click on the instance? Isn't it just suppose to render the report when one clicks on the instance?
Thanks
Kim

i think its as i told you before, its something related with the parameters, you can have multiple instances with different parameter values.
and there is many other technical issues, i dunn know if you read about it or not you can revise back the Crystal Report user guide
you can get it from here

good luck

Crystal Reports prompting for creds when viewed from BO 4

The environment:
Business Objects Enterprise 4, sp2 patch 8
SAP ECC 6.0, kernel 701, sup. pkg. lvl 137
This is a new BOE 4 installation on a test system. The BOE installation has been configured to use Windows AD authentication with SSO. When I run a Crystal Report that is based on SAP ECC data, I am prompted for credentials. So I used the following document to configure BOE for SSO to DB:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/HowtosetupSSOagainstSAPBWinSBOBI4.0forLDAPusers
This didn't fix the problem. SAP ECC reports in BOE still prompt for creds when viewed. SAP Authentication is verifiably working, but I'm not sure if SSO to DB is working. One thing I've noticed is that when I log in to BOE using SAP authentication and view the report, I'm not prompted for creds. In BOE I added my Windows AD acct as an alias in my SAP acct, but I may have either done this incorrectly, or there may be something I need to do in addition.
question 1: Is there an easy way to verify if SSO to DB is working correctly?
question 2: In CMC --> Authentication --> SAP --> Entitlement Systems --> User Name, I'm assuming that this is an SAP user name. What roles/profiles does this account need? Should it be a dialog acct?
question 3: Our ECC system is configured to use SNC. Do I need to configure SNC in BOE for SSO to DB to work?
question 4: I added my Windows AD user as an alias on my SAP user record. I'm not sure this is correct... can someone verify?
Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks, Ingo. Once I got snc configured, everything began working wonderfully.
I used this document as a guide:

Crystal Reports 2008 Server Error when viewing report

Hello All,
I have loaded a CR 2008 report onto the CR 2008 Server. When I view the report from InfoView or CMC, I get the following error message:
Error in File <report name>: Unknown Database Connector Error .
I setup the ODBC datasources on the server as they are on my client PC where the Report originally worked. Are the ODBC datasource connections supposed to copy over with the report? Or do I have to manually enter them into the "Database Configuration" section?
Thank you in advance.

1212487 - Error: "CRAXDRT Error Occured on Server. Error Number:-2147221005"
Symptom
A report is called through the Active Server Pages (ASP) Report Server to be displayed in the Report Viewer for ActiveX. However, the report is displayed with blank pages and when the viewer is switched to the Report Viewer for HTML the following error is displayed:
"CRAXDRT Error Occurred on Server. Error Number:-2147221005 Error Description: 006ASP 0177 Server.CreateObject Failed~Invalid Class String"
The same ASP application returns the report correctly when it is called from a client computer with the full version of Crystal Report 8 Developer Edition installed.
Resolution
It was found that the file, Emfgen.dll, was not installed and registered on the web server computer during the installation of the Crystal Reports ASP Reports Server. The report could be displayed correctly on the client computer, without Crystal Reports Developer Edition installed, after this file had been installed on the web server computer.

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.

Crystal Reports with BEx Query using Custom Exit Variable

Hi,
We have BW BEx Query using Customer User Exit variable to derive the Fiscal Week for Last Year (called it VAR2) based on another user input variable Current Fiscal Week (called it VAR1).
VAR2 is derived from VAR1 in CMOD via some codings and thus it DOES NOT have the "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx. VAR1 is user input variable, so it has "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx.
When we create a Crystal Reports with the BEx Query using variable VAR2, and when we run it we got an error message saying "Failed to execute query; '[]<java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: No Selection State Support!ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK>'. Redesign your query or contact the data source maintainer to solve the problem". (note: ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK is VAR2 in this case).
Could anyone please assist? Surely, CR supports BEx customer user exit variables like the above, right?. I also refer to the forum below as it seems to have a similar issue (except mine with an error message), but it does not provide a solution in it.
Crystal Reports with BEx Query using Custom Exit Variable
Thanks,

Hi Vibhav,
We have the SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI4.0 Version 14.0.0. Not sure if SP0 or other SP, got to check with Basis Team later.
We tried that "mandatory" option and did not work either.
Anyway, SAP has now come back again saying it is something they will fix it in next release/version. We got a phone call from them and a reply below to our OSS.
23.08.2011 - 08:20:49 CET - Info for Customer by SAP
I have raised this issue on the Idea#s Place as an enhancement request
on the below link:
https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/ideas/5586
This ER contains the information of including the customer exit
variables in the report without checking the #input for ready# option.
This ER can be considered for being implemented in the future
versions. You can refer to SAP Note: 1515837 - How To: Enhancement

Crystal Report Date Prompt Query from SAP BW

Dear Support,
Using Crystal Report 2008 and Query is design In SAP BW
Date Prompt is made mandatory in Query at Query Designer.
Problem: Requirent is that Date promt shoud take value currentdate-1
when report is excuted first date prompt will show in that prompt value should have today date - 1 which is yesterday date.
how to pass formula to date prompt?
Thanks

If the prompt value should always be CurrentDate -1, then there is no need to use a prompt at all. Just put the formula to the selection criteria.
If you want the prompt to default to CurrentDate -1, while allowing the user to change the prompt to another date if they wish... That won't work. CR won't allow you to use a formula as the default value in a prompt.
If there is a BO Universe between you and the tables... IE, you're building against the universe, you'll need to get with the universe designer and have them make an alternate field available that has the formula hard coded in the SQL as opposed prompting.
HTH,
Jason

Can i use crystal reports standard to query ODBC datasources

Post Author: Andy Forrest
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Dear all,
I'm struggling to identify if i can use crystal reports standard to query ODBC data-sources, the only information i can find is the following :-
An intuitive solution that provides basic report design functionality off of PC-based data sources, Crystal Reports XI Standard Edition will provide you with access to data stored in personal data sources.
This gives the impression that i cant access any data other than local data, can anyone give me a definitive answer or point me to somewhere that explains in a little more detail. We are about to purchase some copies but need to ensure crystal reports standard can access ODBC data sources. We are replacing crystal reports 8 standard edition and need to ensure previous reports will still run.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Cheers
Andy

Well, you can certainly connect to ODBC with Crystal XI Developer. I'd be very surprised if you couldn't with the Standard version as well. Not the definitive answer you were looking for, I suppose.

Crystal Reports and BW Query- Translation

Hello,
I'm trying to use Crystal reports with BW Query in the Hebrew Language.
When i open the Crystal Reports and connect to SAP I'm putting the Hebrew language key in the logon screen. When the crystal report starts i can see the reports info objects but without the Hebrew description. I can see that in the formula fields the Language key is selected but shouldnt i get the info objects description as well?
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
when I create a new report (using the SAP toolbar) I always get the descriptions for the info objects on the field explorer according to the language I set when I logon on into the SAP system my query resides in. I tried with both english and german language and it works fine. I assume you have installed the hebrew language pack for CR and that the hebrew descriptions are maintained in your SAP system. I also assume that you are talking about creating a report here and not opening an existing one though. In this case the language at creation time defines which descriptions are displayed.
If the above assumptions are valid, then you may face a hebrew language specific problem here. Opening a support case would probably make sense.

Executing Crystal Report using BI Query as datasource in Bobj portal

I have a Crystal report using BI query as the datasource. The BI query contains User Entry variables.
The Crystal report executes as expected except when added to the Bobj portal. From the portal, I can schedule the report and it will execute as correctly. However, if I try to execute without scheduling, I am able to enter the BI restrictions, but then am presented the following error message: "An error has occurred: For input string: "" ".
If I remove all the BI variables from the query, the report will execute from the portal with out scheduling.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
You can set your parameters from CMC. Select the report and set parameters in to the report properties.

Can xcelsius use crystal report instance to display data?

HI experts,
Here we use live office with crystal reports to feed data to xcelsius flash. We schedule the crystal reports every day, and want to use data of the crystal report instance when user open a xcelsius flash.
Can this be realized ?
thanks a lot !

Hi Sam,
You can do this. Go to Live office and goto to the "Properties for all objects" and select the refresh tab.
Select the option as "Latest Instance" for refresh option and then save the Excel sheet and re-import into Xcelsius.
This would refresh the data from the latest instance of Crystal report.
Thanks,
Amit.

Does end user need Crystal Reports to run saved reports

This seems like such a simple question, but I am unable to find the answer in the documentation, so here it goes.
On UCCX does end user need Crystal Reports to run save custom reports that were created using Crystal Reports

Hi
No, UCCX comes with the 'Historical Reporting Client' which contains a Crystal runtime that renders the reports.
You only need Crystal Pro if you wish to author new reports for the system.

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.
