Crystal Report Preview Issue

Hello All,
I am running 8.81 PL06 on my laptop. When i preview any default SAP crystal layouts i will be asked enter database logins. I think this is a bug but just checking. Let me know if anyone of you have the same problem.

Hello,
You can try login with one time as administrator in Server and superuser in SAP. if you have client sql then no need to any other component.
You can also import in report in SAP only for testing purpose.
Thanks

Crystal report preview window freezes if I push any key on the keyboard

our system is a pretty old one, and we are still using crystal report 7 and vc6(mfc6).
It is a simple dialog based application with a button and a flex grid7.1 component on it.
when the button is clicked, a crystal report preview window will be opened and become the active window.
the problem is that, when i pushed a key on the keyboard ('a' for example) the whole application will freeze, and CPU Occupancy Rate is 100%.
but if I switch the dialog to be current active window after a preview window opened, keyboard input won't make the application freeze.
It seems that crystal report preview window don't know how to deal with the keyboard input.
BTW:
I use the methods below to open a preview window.
PEOpenEngine
PEOpenPrintJob
PEPrintReport
have anyone here met any similiar problems before?
I really need your help.
thanks in advance.

Moved to Legacy Application Development SDKs forum.
I have nothing for you, other than; consider upgrading - after all CR 7 shipped in 1998(!). I don't know what OS you are on, but I suspect what ever OS it is, it was not even in a concept stage of thought when CR 7 shipped. E.g.; this may be an OS issue more than anything else.
BTW., print engine APIs were retired in version 9 of Crystal Reports. At this time, your best option is to upgrade to CR 2008 (12.0)and use .NET or Java. If you are using VB 6 or equivalent, you could still upgrade to CR XI r2 (11.5) and use the Report Designer Component (RDC). However, note that CR XI r2 will be out of support in June of this year. And CR XI R2 is the last version of CR to include the RDC.

Open a Crystal Report preview using a button

hi,
this is code for open the crystal report press the button.
First import the crystal report using Report and layout manager
goto administration->setup->general--->Report and layout manager
create one button in add-on form.when we press the button the following event triggered.
get the docnumber for that particular form and pass it.
Case SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_ITEM_PRESSED
                        If pVal.ItemUID = "btnPrint" Then
                            Dim strAcNcmr As Integer
                            strAcNcmr = objForm.Items.Item("txtDocNo").Specific.Value
                            Dim oRS As SAPbobsCOM.Recordset
                            oRS = objSBOAPI.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset)
                            oRS.DoQuery("SELECT MenuUID FROM OCMN WHERE Name = ' Purchase Indend' AND Type = 'C'")
                            objSBOAPI.SBO_Appln.ActivateMenuItem(oRS.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString())
                            Dim oForm1 As SAPbouiCOM.Form
                            oForm1 = objSBOAPI.SBO_Appln.Forms.ActiveForm
                            oForm1.Items.Item("1000003").Specific.String = strAcNcmr
                            oForm1.Items.Item("1").Click()
                            oForm1.Items.Item("1").Visible = False
                            oForm1.Items.Item("2").Click()
                        End If

Open a Crystal Report preview from an Add-on

Hi All,
I'm just trying to open a Crystal Report preview using a button from my add-on.
I want to use the SAP Crystal report, (the runtime integrated with SAP 8.8)
Basically I have my report created, so I need to create the object, pass the parameters and open an screen with my preview.
The main idea is open this Crystal report object when the addon starts and then just use that object.
I've found an example with this object SAPbobsCOM.ReportLayoutsService but this is for SAP 8.8.1 and I'm working with 8.8. I don't know if i can use SAPbobsCOM.ReportLayout.
I need a simple example please.
Thanks .

Hi,
Have you read through this: View Crystal Report from add-on ?
Thanks,
Gordon

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
Regards

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.
Edited by: neon primetime on Jul 21, 2008 8:18 PM ... to show the underlining

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 reports prompt issue

Hi All,
I had created the simple crystal report by connecting to bex query (with prompts).
For example in my crystal report ,circle prompt as below list of values
Values                                  Description
[YPES_AREA].[ANPR]     Andhra Pradesh Circle
[YPES_AREA].[ASSM]     Assam
[YPES_AREA].[BIAR]     Bihar
[YPES_AREA].[CHAI]     Chennai
[YPES_AREA].[CHRH]     Chattisgarh
[YPES_AREA].[CORP]     Corporate
[YPES_AREA].[DLHI]     Delhi & NCRs Circle
[YPES_AREA].[EAST]     East Region
At the time of preview,user can select the above list of value ,so that the corresponding prompt value need to display in the report.
Here i want to known,when user select the "Assam" circle in the above list of values,prompt value is showing as "[YPES_AREA].[ASSM]" but i want to show it as a description instead of technical name.
please suggest me is it possible or not?
Regards,
Vinay

Unfortunately the "description" is only available in the LoV and cannot be accessed for use on the report (I believe there is an Idea Place suggestion concerning this very issue...) but there are work arounds.
If the LoV is a static list it's fairly easy. Just use the following formula:
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.ANPR" THEN "Andhra Pradesh Circle" ELSE
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.ASSM"THEN "Assam" ELSE
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.BIAR" THEN "Bihar" ELSE
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.CHAI" THEN "Chennai" ELSE
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.CHRH" THEN "Chattisgarh" ELSE
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.CORP" THEN "Corporate" ELSE
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.DLHI" THEN "Delhi & NCRs Circle" ELSE
IF {?ParameterName} = "YPES_AREA.EAST" THEN "East Region"
If your LoVs are dynamic it's a little trickier... and I've never tried it using a data warehouse...
but I've always done it using a separate SQL Command. Something along these lines
SELECT
FieldUsedInTheDescription
FROM TableName
WHERE FieldUsedAsTheValue = {?Parameter}
Still pretty simple as long as the parameter only accepts a single value.
If the parameter accepts multiple values you need to use a sub-report.

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 Preview Error

Dear Experts,
When i am taking preview of the marketing documents like SO/SQ/PO which are done in Crystal report
I am getting the following error. This is happening after we increased the Document series size from 10001 to 1410001
If we check the previous documents starting from 10001 its coming correctly, only for the documents starting from 1410001 this error has occurred
However when we click the PDF icon the full number is properly shown
What changes need to be done in DOCNUM in the Crystal report layout ,please let me know.

Crystal Report Preview

Hello All,
I have developed AddOn application which includes crystal report files created with Crystal Report 2008.i wants to able load the report and preview them within my AddOn application.Which Crytsal report 2008 Components do i need to import to enable me preview the report.
Thanks

Hi,
There are two ways for you to include a crystal report in your addon.
1. You manage the CR execution in your own program.
2. You upload the CR into SBO and let SBO handle the execution of the report.
for the first solution, in every user's PC, you need to install the correct version of crystal report runtime matching the version of Crystal Report DLL you are referencing in your program. In this case, to answer your question, you need to tell us which Crystal Report DLL version you are referencing.
for the second solution, since when SBO client is installed, a CR runtime will also get installed to the user PC, you dont need to deploy any runtime anymore.

Crystal Report Preview vs. SAP B1 Report Preview as a Layout under Content Type

Hello good day i'm trying to create a report that will be preview under A/R Invoice but the details need is under delivery module for example i create a serialize Item and set the Management Method on Every Transaction Under Item master data, so the transaction flow will be like this SO -> Delivery -> A/R Invoice.

Hi,
When you google on "[Could not load file or assembly CrystalDecisions|http://www.google.com/search?q=CouldnotloadfileorassemblyCrystalDecisions]" you will find quite some hits.
