Crystal Report Produces Blank Report

I am modifying the Maintenance Management Work Order Print App Engine program, WM_WM10001_R, to single thread work orders and submitting the Crystal Report, WM10001, via PeopleCode.
I update the delivered process defintion to use my state record to pass the processing parms.
Then I have a Do Select SQL to select the Work Order numbers.
I am inserting the Work Order data via SQLEXEC, commit the work, build the process request and submit, then wait until the report is done before processing the next work order.
My report is empty. I can run the report outside of PeopleSoft and the report runs fine.
Out of 9 Crystal processes submitted, 6 are empty, 3 failed with the error "Not enough bind values: 3 is/are required but 0 was/were supplied. "
We are on Crystal Reports 2008, PeopleTools 8.50.07, FSCM 9.1 running on Windows with an Oracle 11g R2 database.

Hardcoded run control parameters on process definition using sql action. Apparently, Crystal can't read values from App Engine state record.

EWA report getting blank report

Hi,
I have configured system in SOLMAN to gnerate EWA report, all the steps have been done succesfully.
but the report is blank when in checked, what could be the reason.
searched in SDN and check all the possiblities.
Please help.

Hello Saad,
Depends if it is really a blank EWA or just not generated due to missing trust center settings in word - for that you could check SAP Note 199123.
If ti is ABAP and the icon is a document ( not red, yellow, green, grey rated) then please review sap Notes 1496931 and 1415702, depending on what SP level you are on. If it is a Java system and is Grey rated it will also be blank, then you need to check SAP Note 1332428 for the T/S guide attached andcheck Note 762696.
These are the most common reasons an EWA might be blank.
Also check the session in DSA and see if anything more comes to light.
However if this doesn't help resolve, please provide as many details as you can.
Regards,
Paul

XML Report Publisher - Blank Report Request Parameter

Hi
I have a custom template and custom data definition in Purchasing application. I ran PO Output For Communication and it generated the PDF. Now I want to do Bursting.
So, I assigned XML Report Publisher and XML Bursting (both out-of-box programs) to Purchasing responsibility. But when I try to run them, I don't see any values in Request ID LOV.
Please suggest what am I missing in there.
Thanks,
NewBie

NewBiePlease confirm that you have added those concurrent programs to the correct Request Group which is attached to the same responsibility.
From (System Administrator responsibility > Security > Responsibility > Define) query the responsibility name and get the Request Group. Then from (System Administrator responsibility > Security > Responsibility > Request), query the Request Group and add those concurrent programs.

Need opinion on SE38 changing reports developed using report painter

Hi all,
I need opinion on whether the report produced using report painter and se38.
Can i use se38 to modify a report which was produced by report painter?
Thanks
William Yau

Hi,
You can change it thru SE38, but doesn't serve the purpose,
if it's regenerated dynamically your code will be over-written &
there's lot of overhead in change thru SE38.

Crystal Reports 2008 - Blank page on server only

Crystal Reports 2008 - Blank page on server only
My report is developed in the Crystal Reports 2008 Report Designer 12.0.0.683.
I have a .NET application that takes the report file, an ODBC connection and exports the resulting report to PDF. This application is deployed as an MSI and includes the Crystal Reports .msm merge module. The report uses multiple views and tables from a single database to create invoices in PDF format.
Problem: For one particular invoice, a blank page is being added to the end of the invoice. This blank page contains the report's standard page header. There is no missing data and no missing sections on the invoice. This is only occurring when the pdf is generated on a Windows Server 2008 x64 server where the application is deployed using the merge modules.
I have installed the application locally on my Windows Vista Business x86 system and the generated PDF does NOT contain the blank page at the end.
The blank page is not generated when previewing the report in Report Designer. For the particular invoice this is occurring on, footer F and footer G are blank and therefore suppressed.
Please bear in mind that this happens only for one particular invoice that uses this report file and does not happen from my local system using the same .rpt file.
The report is constructed of the following sections:
-Page Header (suppressed on page 1)
-Grp1 header A (watermark conditionally suppressed based upon a parameter)
-Grp1 header B (Keep together - always fits onto a single page)
-Details
-Grp1 footer A (Keep together)
-Grp1 footer B (Conditionally suppressed based upon data)
-Grp1 footer C (Keep together)
-Grp1 footer D (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section. New page before but (Not OnLastRecord))
-Grp1 footer E (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Grp1 footer F (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Grp1 footer G (Contains sub report(suppressed when blank). Keep together. Suppress blank section.)
-Report footer (Always blank. Suppress blank section)
-Page footer (Fixed static content, displayed on every page.)

Thanks for responding, Jonathan.
Is the same runtime installed on the 64 bit system? I notice from your version number that you do not have any service packs installed on the dev system. SP 2 is out and may help.
I have installed SP1 and SP2 this morning, resaved the report file and tried again but the same problem remains.
I'm not sure how to answer your runtime question. I am using the same application built with the same merge modules on both the dev machine and the production server. Of course, the dev machine has the additional complication of having Crystal Reports 2008 installed. Perhaps this is causing the difference?
Compare the printer settings between the two systems. Try installing the same printer driver on the 64 bit system.
Perhaps I am misinterpreting your suggestion, but I am not printing the invoices. I am only exporting them to PDF. It is the PDF that has the extra page. Is there a 'print to PDF' driver of some sort that I need?
Also, was the .NET application compiled as 32 bit, or Any CPU? Whichever it was, try switching it then recompiling to see if that helps.
I tried switching to Any CPU but this caused the Crystal Reports module not to load at all on the 64bit Windows server.
Thank you for your suggestions, but my problem remains. Is it worth trying with the redistributable msi rather than using the merge modules? If so, could you recommend which one I should use? I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional.

Get blank report in Crystal Report Viewer when exporting to PDF

I have an application that creates reports in the CrystalReportViewer while at the same time exports a PDF of that report. I am having a problem in which
performing the export causes the report in the ReportViewer and the PDF report to be blank. They have the header and column labels but no data. If I
comment out the Me.Export(reportExportOptions) line at the end of the exportPDFReport method the report in the ReportViewer works fine, displaying
data on the report.
I have other forms that perfrom this same type of function on different reports and work fine. In fact they use the same exportPDFReport method. This leads
me to believe that a difference in the reports may be causing the problem. But I can't figure out why.
I am using .net 3.5 with Crystal Reports 2008 (CR2008) full edition in Visual Studio 2008. Although the reports that work were probably created using
VS 2005 and the VS 2005 edition of Crystal, and which have since been updated to CR2008.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, how did you resolve it?
Thanks for any help!

Pretty much.
Seems I had at one time hard coded a record selection statement that I forgot to remove which caused the report to be blank. That solved my problem, but there still seems to be an issue in that the Crystal Report Viewer performed differently when I tried to export to PDF (no records displayed) then when I didn't (records displayed).

Native Crystal formulas don't work if VB6 is producing the report

Post Author: pdavis
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I just upgraded from Crystal 6 to Crystal XI (enterprise). (Yeah, OK. I don't rush into things.) About 70 reports apparently converted OK, i.e., they worked when looked at in Crystal design mode. Most have built-in formulas.
Using VB6 to produce the reports (the reports are NOT embedded into the VB project via the Crystal designer; instead I'm creating a Crystal Reports object), none of the built-in formulas work (altho everything else about them looks fine). I can pass data to any of the built-in formulas (including being able to pass the code that originally constituted the formula) and the report will look fine, but I lose the flexibility to simply distribute new reports if I have to build the reports or their formulas into the project.
I've scoured every resource I can find and have seen nothing suggesting this is a common occurrence, so I'm assuming it must be something I'm missing, something possibly subtle? Having just migrated, I'm sure there is lots about Crystal XI I don't know yet, but I would be extremely grateful for any help since I'm under deadline. (OS is Win2K server if that matters.) Thanks.

1. You will find this option beside ? in Add-Ins. In that Settings --> BW Server Connection.
+ Not I didn't find... for example I saw... File.. Edit...view.. Insert... and others exactly like when you enter in excel ... the only difference it's that I saw activated the tool bar for bex analyzer.. on where I saw .. design mode... refresh..etc.+
2. If you select the field in Free characteristics and restrict it with a variable in query designer mode, you will get that characteristic in variable screen and you can give the selection and you will not get that charcteristic in the output as you have taken that in free characteristic. Only if you do drilldown accross rows for that characteristic, then it will appear.
If you take that into Rows in query designer mode, then you will get the same for variable selection and as well as in the output without drilldown accross rows. It will be displayed automatically.
+The clear example is: I have one free characteristic in report, like 0MATERIAL, this characteristics didn't have any restric value... then the user add 0MATERIAL into report just for see more details... later if the user filter 0MATERIAL with some values and click ok, the column 0MATERIAL dissapear from the report +
did you have another idea to solve this?¡
Thank you a lot.

Blank report export to CSV fails

Using the latest version of Crystal Reports runtime for Java, I'm trying to export a blank report to character-separated values (CSV). The export fails when I try to call PrintOutputController.export(). Specifically, code execution appears to halt after calling export(), i.e., the call appears to do nothing but hang indefinitely, without returning anything.
Is this a bug? Since exporting a blank report to CSV would produce a zero-length text file, could it be that the SDK is waiting for some buffer to be populated, but it never is?

i just tried this in 12.2.212.x and it creates a blank csv file. How do you have ur blank blank report? A report without datasource, fields parameters or really anything or a report which gets 0 records back from DB?
Thanks

Stop sending blank reports -publication

i,
We have created publication and setup profies using business objects XIR2.
we have scheduling these reports.
we are facing issue with blank reports.
we are too many reports which run for given day and not all reports produce data for all the profiles and groups.
is there way to stop sending blank reports when we scheduling publication.
I have seen this link to generate error in report and stop sending the report.
http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=90010
is there any other through macro/program to do the same
Regards
Navin

What is your report type?
In XI 3.1 onwards, there is an option, delivery rules, in publication. I think the same feature is there in R2.
If the report type is Crystal you can set it to Deliver if there is data
if the report type DeskI/WebI, you can create formula like count(<object name>) > 0

Blank Report in IE9

Hi all,
I have an Asp.Net page that displays a crystal report. I am using VS2010 targeting to .net framework 4.0. The report was actually created in VS 2008 .net 3.5 and now I have upgraded to CR2011. I opened the report and modified it then when run my web application from my machine. But when I move the report to production, and run the web page on production, the report does not display in the CR Viewer.
Also, the report is displayed for some criteria and doesnot for some other search criteria. When i export the blank report the data is still there and can be seen in excel or pdf.
One more thing noticed is that it works perfectly if i run IE9 with compatability mode in production.
Please help urgently.

Hi,
Have you gone through the supported platforms guide:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e06b8953-a62b-2d10-38b9-ca71f747e2b1
IE 9 is not supported at this time, but my testing revealed it works well when Compatibility View is used.
The same is applicable to IE 8.
So even if CR has to support it, it would be in compatibility view only as far as latest browsers are considered.
If you want to know why, then go through this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288325(v=vs.85).aspx
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Converting a Crystal Report with Many Sub-Reports into CF Report Builder

I am trying to rewrite a Crystal Reports report which has 11
subreports in CF Report Builder. In the CR report, each subreport
has it's own report footer seciton. I have not been able to find
anything in CF Report Builder that allows me to do the same. Is CF
Report Builder capable of producing a report with multiple
subreports?

Having successfully created a report with 5 or 6 subreports
(with each sub-report containing a multiple sub-sub reports) I can
say with confidence, "Yes you can." However the real question you
should ask is, "
Should I create a report with multiple sub-reports in CF
ReportBuilder?" And the answer to that is.... NO, WHAT ARE YOU
CRAZY!
If you have something that works in Crystal Reports I would
suggest you stick with that. Otherwise you're setting yourself up
for a lot of headaches. Now maybe it was because I started using
the report builder that came with MX7, but it seems there are still
quite of few bugs that will leave you shaking your fist at your
computer. If however you do continue and do the CF Report Builder
route, be prepared for your application to crash unexpectedly, and
for many things to not work they way you expect them to. And if you
ever need help good luck. Take the fact that you had difficulty
finding good documentation as a sign of how little Adobe supports
this product.
CF Report Builder is fine for very simple reports, but don't
get fancy with it, you'll only regret your decision in the
end.

Printing larger rows in blank report

I have a training log that managers can print out when holding training. There is a pre-populated one that fills out spots for current employees and adds blanks at the end and one that is completely blank. On the pre-populated one, I can alter the size of the text and corresponding lines just fine by altering the style of the text. The same technique does not work for the blank report. The managers want to have more room on the blank log, as the default size isn't large enough for many people to fill out.
Here's the query I'm using:
WORKS
select EMP_ID, EMP_LNAME, EMP_FNAME, NULL as DT, NULL as SIGNATURE
from EMPLOYEES
where ORG_ID = :P1727_ORG_ID
   and ACTIVE = 1
union all
select NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
from dual
connect by rownum <= :P1727_BLANKSDOESN'T WORK
select NULL as EMP_ID, NULL as EMP_LNAME, NULL as EMP_FNAME
     , NULL as DT, NULL as SIGNATURE
from dual
connect by rownum <= :P1727_BLANKSand the stylesheet:
<style>
#EMP_ID      {width: 60px;
        font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:1em;}
#EMP_LNAME   {width:120px}
#EMP_FNAME   {width: 80px}
#DT          {width:120px}
#SIGNATURE   {width:320px}
</style>I have tried selecting a no-breaking space for a column value instead of a null and no change. I even tried renaming all the columns and creating a new set of styles for the second report - no change. I can't find a table attribute that allows me to statically set the height of the row - it seems to be based on content. Any suggestions?

Use a print media style sheet and specify the dimensions using a physical unit.
Give the blank form report a static region ID for use in CSS selectors (e.g. <tt>blank-form</tt>), and a style sheet like:
<style type="text/css" media="print">
.report-table is class from report template
#blank-form .report-table tr {
min-height: 1cm;
height: 1cm; /* for IE quirks mode */
#blank-form #EMP_ID {
width: 2cm;
#blank-form #EMP_FNAME,
#blank-form #EMP_LNAME {
width: 5cm;
#blank-form #DT {
width: 3cm;
#blank-form #SIGNATURE {
width: 7cm;
</style>Also use non-breaking spaces as previously suggested.
