Crystal Report Optional Prompt Not supported
Hi,
I am creating a Crystal Report on top of BEx query. We have 4 parameters in BEx and i have created one parameter in Crystal which should be an optional one. The report is working perfectly alright when run in designer. But when published to enterprise the optional prmpt is not working as intended. It is expecting a value all the times. I tried to default it some value, but it is not working.
We are using BO XI 3.1 FP2.8, Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 FP2.8 BI 7.X.
We are using BI Publisher to publish the reports. Alos i have treid testing by directly saving the report to enterprise but the result is the same.
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Venkat
I am already using the Not HasValue(). And that is working perfectly when tested from Crystal Reports designer. But it is not working only when published to the enterprise.

Hello,
I have just search the word "widestring" in all the source files of CR VCL XI and the result is so surprise that only few widestrings are found but all of the rest is "string".
It is so ashamed for BussinessObject that they lied us that CR supports Unicode from version 9.0.
This is not the first time I have problem with Unicode in CR. CR does not recognize Unicode data of User Defined Function that made in Delphi then compiled into DLL file.

"SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services does not support map report items"
Hi,
I am trying some new feature that are introduced in SQL Server 2008 R2 version. While I try to use "Map" control within it, it threw the following error:-
"Error 1 The map, Map1, was removed from the report. SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services does not support map report items. "
-Also, similar kind of error I am getting for "Indicator" control.Hi Tej,
I think you get this error message when you are deploying a report to report server using BIDS, correct? If not, please provide more details on your scenario :-)
If I guessed correctly, then this message is a result of trying to deploy a map report (a SSRS 2008 R2 feature) to a non-R2 2008 report server. When deploying a report of RDL2010 format to a non-R2 report server, BIDS will downgrade the file to RDL2008 format, so that the non-R2 report server can process it. Any report elements using features not supported in RDL2008 will be dropped during this downgrade process.
BIDS gets the server version from a report project property called TargetServerVersion:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee635898(SQL.105).aspx
If your report server is indeed the 2008 R2 version, then the TargetServerVersion property should be set to "SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services." The project property page also has a "Auto Detect..." option if you are uncertain about the version of your report server.
Hope this helps!

Crystal report with prompts takes very long time to open in infoview BOXI3.
Crystal report with prompts takes very long time to open in infoview BOXI3.1?
Is there any way to increase the performance.Ramsudhakar,
There are several items that could cause these slow down problems. Without knowing more about the way your environment is setup, I could cause more problems, by giving out performance tips. You would need to be more specific in your post.
What we know. BOXI3.1
What we don't know.
O/S
App. Server
Hardware Spec's
ETC.
I see that this post has been out here for some time. So if this is still a problem for you I'll try and help, if you provide more information.

Crystal reports 2008 will not allow multiple exports in a row
I recently had service pack 3 and fix pack 3.3 updated to my system ( crystal 2008) to help correct a issue with mapi not populating addresses from outlook when trying to export a report. I have a new issue. - sort of???
Now when I try to export multiple reports in a row I still have the same issue. I can send 1 report out. But if i try to send another report out i have the same issue that I had with mapi not populating the addresses field from outlook.
To get past this I shut down crystal and then bring it back up and I can send (ONE) report again before the same thing happens. Does anyone know if there is fix for this issue?Im not sure I agree with you designation that this report should be in the report DESIGN forum. I
My problem has nothing to do with report design in my OP. The MAPI function (in crystal reports itself) will not populate addresses once I export 1 report. When I try to export a second report that is when it quits works. This is basically the same problem that a hot fix or fix pack corrected but now instead of now working at all. I can only export 1 report before the same mapi issue happens???? -
Multiple Report Worksheets is not supported in this version of XL Reporter!
Using XLR for SAP 2007A PL46 we get the following error when trying to go to another worksheet (Excel tab).
"Multiple Report Worksheets is not supported in this version of XL Reporter!"
Is there really a version that does support multi-tabs or this is simply a malformed error message?
Steve BlackburnSteve,
This message is just a standard error message. I believe there are no current XLR versions support Multiple Report Worksheets. That could mean: it once had or simply leave a room for that functionality enhancement.
Thanks,

Essbase error currently multiple reports per retrieval not supported
Hi,
One of my users got this error message while working on Essbase Excel add-in. "currently multiple reports per retrieval not supported". Any suggestions why do we get this error and what changes have to be to made to avoid it?
Thanks,
JunaidIt's kind of a catch-all error message, usually spurred (so I guess that isn't really a catch-all) by having the same dimension referenced more than once in the sheet, e.g., Product in the grid point of view and in rows going down or a dimension repeated in the grid point of view.

Chaitanyahi,
report designer is for front end view design and the designcan be done with restriction to navigation.
you have dynamic and static report designs with restricted navigations.

Crystal reports viewer will not prompt for parameters
Help,
I can not get crystal report viewer to prompt for parameters when called from IIS 8 on Server 2012 r2
I can get crystal report viewer to prompt for parameters when run from vs 2010 built in web service.Thanks,
The solution for me was to uninstall the latest crystal reports runtime 13.10.x and install 13.6.x instead.
Thanks anyway. -
Crystal report viewer does not observe the PaperSize and PageOrientation setting
Hi:
My application is a 3 tier application, where the WinForm client is connected to the WCF Services hosted in IIS server.
The report is generated on server side using WCF service, and export as.rpt with data, the .rpt file is then sent to the WinForm client, the Crystal Report viewer is used to load the .rpt file for preview and print.
On server side I've Microsoft XPS Document Writer installed and set as default printer. On the client side if the default printer is XPS or Nitro PDF creator, the report can be view and print correctly, report design in landscape will be able to show in the landscape in CR viewer, report design using custom paper size (e.g. Half Letter), CR viewer able to show it in Half Letter.
The problem that I'm facing is when the default printer is set to HP LaserJet P1120 or others (I've tried Epson ESC/P Standard driver), the report is always shown in the portrait, and it will not be able to show in custom paper size either. Here is my code:
Dim settings As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings
Dim rep as New ReportDocument
rep.Load(sOutputFileName) 'The report is download from server and save in sOutputFileName
SetReportPaperSize(rep, sPaperSizeName, False, settings) ' sPaperSizeName store the name of the custom paper used in the report
CrViewer.ReportSource = rep
Public Shared Sub SetReportPaperSize(rep As ReportDocument, paperSizeName As String, isHardCopy As Boolean, settings As Printing.PrinterSettings)
Dim installedPrinters As Printing.PrinterSettings.StringCollection = Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters
Dim printers As New List(Of String)
Dim sPrinter As String
If installedPrinters.Count = 0 Then
Return
End If
SetPrinterDefaultPaperSize(rep.PrintOptions, paperSizeName, settings)
With rep.PrintOptions
.PrinterName = settings.PrinterName
.PaperSource = PaperSource.Auto
If paperSizeName.Trim.Length > 0 Then
.PaperSize = DirectCast(GetPapersizeId(paperSizeName, settings, rep.PrintOptions.PaperSize), CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize)
End If
End With
End Sub
Public Shared Sub SetPrinterDefaultPaperSize(printOptions As PrintOptions, paperSizeName As String, settings As Printing.PrinterSettings)
With settings.DefaultPageSettings
If paperSizeName.Trim.Length = 0 Then
. PaperSize = GetPaperSize (printOptions.PaperSize, settings)
Else
For Each size As Printing.PaperSize In settings.PaperSizes
If size.PaperName.EqualsTo(paperSizeName) Then
.PaperSize = size
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
.Landscape = printOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape
.Margins.Top = printOptions.PageMargins.topMargin
.Margins.Left = printOptions.PageMargins.leftMargin
.Margins.Bottom = printOptions.PageMargins.bottomMargin
.Margins.Right = printOptions.PageMargins.rightMargin
End With
End Sub
Public Shared Function GetPaperSize(paperSizeId As Integer, defaultPrinterSettings As Printing.PrinterSettings) As Printing.PaperSize
Dim settings As Printing.PrinterSettings = defaultPrinterSettings
Dim result As Printing.PaperSize
If settings Is Nothing Then
settings = New Printing.PrinterSettings
End If
' Default paper Size defined in the printer
result = settings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize
For Each size As Printing.PaperSize In settings.PaperSizes
If size.RawKind = paperSizeId Then
result = size
Exit For
End If
Next
Return result
End Function
Public Shared Function GetPapersizeId(paperSizeName As String, defaultPrinterSettings As Printing.PrinterSettings Optional defaultpaperSizeId As CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.DefaultPaperSize) As Integer
Dim settings As Printing.PrinterSettings = defaultPrinterSettings
Dim result As Integer = defaultpaperSizeId
If settings Is Nothing Then
settings = New Printing.PrinterSettings
End If
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(paperSizeName) Then
For Each size As Printing.PaperSize In settings.PaperSizes
' Height and Width in Printing.PaperSize is measure in hundredths of an inch
If size.PaperName.EqualsTo(paperSizeName) Then
result = size.RawKind
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
Return result
End Function
Setting the PrintOptions.PaperSize and PageOrientation seem like no effect on the viewer. My code to load the report to CR viewer is much more complicated than the code I show above, I've a background worker thread to download the report, and when the worker thread finished download the report from the server, it will assign the report to CRViewer. Do the changes in report PrintOption before assign to CRViewe and after assigning to CRViewer make any different?
I'm using VS2010, CR XI R2 (Version 11.5.3700.0). Please Help. Thanks
Regards
JC VoonHi JC,
CRXI R2 is a no go with VS 2010, these two are not compatible.
With CR 11.5 use VS 2005.
Or Use VS 2010 and CR for VS 2010 (13.0)
Once you have the supported / compatible conbination of CR and VS, use the In Proc RAS .NET code from below KBA.

How to parse crystal report query prompt value via url parameters
HI All,
I am creating a employee detail report in crystal report. The recordset is huge and i have created a parameter prompts in the query and thinking to parse the prompt value via url parameters. Not sure why i still could not make it works.
for example, in my query panel i have created a prompt called "pwwid"
and this is how i parse the prompt value via open document url.
OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=AV8U6HlIq4FBl_MhcBwHqGI&lsSpwwid=12345678
I read the sap documentation, this is how it parse the prompt value via url parameter. but it is not working for me and i am getting prompt to fill in the wwid whenever i run the reports.
any idea why i am not getting this works?

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?
ThanksIf 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 -
Crystal Reports Runtime 13 not found in sequence on App-V 5.0 SP2 Hotfix 5 client
My application uses a VFS installation of Crystal Reports Runtime 13. (i.e., the path to CR13 isn't specified as the Primary directory during sequencing, as my app uses that particular path)
On a test VM with an old App-V client (5.0.285.0) the application launches and can locate CR components successfully.
However, when we upgrade to the latest App-V client (SP2 HF5) the application fails to find CR.
The original application was sequenced with App-V 5.0 RTM (5.0.285.0). I've re-sequenced the app with the latest sequencer (SP2 HF4) but the error persists.
There is literally nothing in the Event Log and the app doesn't appear to report the error to Windows (it pops up a UI message saying CR 13 can't be located).
Procmon doesn't show anything meaningful, although I could have missed something whilst trawling through 16,000 lines of processes.
I enabled all App-V logs and nothing relating to an error can be found there.
I tried disabling DEP and following other advice in this earlier thread:
virtualizing-business-objects-crystal-reports-pro-110
OS: Windows 7 SP1, patched up to date.
App-V client: 5.0.3404 (SP2 Hotfix 5)
Anyone seen an issue like this?
I'm about to open a case with Microsoft Support, just thought I'd ask here first.
Regards.Hi.
We raised a support ticket with Microsoft and with their help, found that the path length to the VFS installation of Crystal Reports was the issue.
I created an MST (btw, Crystal Reports MSI has numerous directory and registry entries that don't use best practice, so this took a while..) to reduce the path lengths.
As to why the RTM version of the client works (from our Microsoft support engineer):
"Regarding the “why”, between RTM and the next versions, lots of issues were corrected.
In this particular situation, the issue was related with the fact that the application stopped extending the buffer. Probably what happened was that a COM or Object Bug was corrected between RTM and SP2 and this had a negative effect on the application. What
this means is that, in fact, the application was not supposed to work in RTM as well, due to buffer being extended."
So in summary, if you have an application with a particularly long path structure, you may need to re-sequence for the SP2 version of the client. -
