Crystal Report VS2005 - Table fields missing in Database Expert

Hi,
I am having a problem with the Crystal Report comes with Visual Studio 2005. I am trying to develop a customized report for SAP Business One. When I try to add two tables using the Database Expert, there are certain fields missing in the LINK page. This is a big problem for me because I need to link that field with another table. Oddly, it doesn't seems that there are anything wrongs with the missing fields. If I click OK and check at the Field Explorer, the missing fields are there!!!
In other words, it is missing only at the Database Expert --> Link Tab. Anyone having the same problem? Is this a known issue or any patch that I can apply to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Harianto

How to bind JtextFields in Swing to Table fields in the database

Can some one give the code of how to bind JtextFields in Swing to Table fields in the database
Am really new to java programming and have interest in learning

The standard JDK doesn't do this for you. If you search on Google, you may find some 3rd party packages that will do this.
You need to create your own form add execute the appropriate SQL yourself. Read the tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/]JDBC Database Access to get started.

Problem with crystal report that comes with VStudio 2008 Database edition

Hello,
I'm using crystal reports that comes with Visual Studio 2008 Database edition. But I'm having a problem these days. When there are more than 4 pages in the report, the summary field in the pagefooter(usually sum of data in the Details section) show 0 in the first page.It will be displaying in all other pages. I couldnt sort out the problem.I'm binding data to the report from an SQL Server 2005 table.
Thanks in advance.I really appreciate if some one can sort out the problem quickly.

Have not heard of the issue, but download SP1 and see if that helps:

Crystal Reports - ECC Tables - Row level security on Multiple tables

Hi Experts,
We are implementing Crystal Reports directly reporting on ECC Tables. Lot of information on row-level security has been provided by experts Ingo Hilgefort, Don Williamsand Mike Seblani, but not related to multiple tables or Wild cards
Requirement:
Crystal Users should have access to ALL the tables in ECC, but restricted by Company code, plant, Sales Organization, Purchasing Organization fields to what ever table it applies to. Example: MARC table should be restricted by Plant, BSEG table should be restricted by Plant and company code, GLT0 table should be restricted by Company code..etc
Users should ONLY see their Organization related data.
Solution Developed:
1. We created custom authorization object with BUKRS and WERKS
2. In /CRYSTAL/RLS we used Wild Cards *, + rather than specific table and referenced the custom authorization object with =BUKRS and =WERKS in the Field Value
3. Enabled global lock
4. Custom Authorization object was added to user-profiles with corresponding restrictions
*Observation:*
1. This security works when a crystal report was developed on a ECC table which has both BUKRS and WERKS
2. This setup DOES NOT work when a crystal report developed on a table with either one of BUKRS or WERKS
Example: Does not work on MARC table - error message "Database connection error: /CRYSTAL/OSQL_EXECUTE_QUERY Message: field T0~BUKRS" unknown"
Does not work on GLT0 table - error message "Database connection error: /CRYSTAL/OSQL_EXECUTE_QUERY Message: field T0~WERKS unknown"
Trouble Shooting:
In the "where clause" of the internal ABAP code generated for MARC, system is checking for BUKRS - which should not be the expected result
ANYTHING WRONG IN THE SECURITY SETUP ? PLEASE ADVICE
Note: Document "BusinessObjects XI Release 2, Integration Kit for SAP, Installation Guide" does not talk much about this multiple table restriction. Any other document to be referred to ?

I'm not sure how that would help; by using the Faculty_ID Session Variable I can identify the CRN and Term of all courses a faculty member is teaching. But I don't think that has to do with the problem I am having?

Dunning Letter as Crystal Report: What tables? (SAP B1 9.0)

Dear Experts,
I am being asked to revise the Dunning Letters for our clients. The existing PLDs for each Dunning Letter shows most data fields as system variables. The existing Crystal Report for Dunning Letter 1 is a conversion from the PLD and doesn't show table information for most of the report's main items. There are tables in the report but they are standard ones (OADM, OADP, OCRD, OHEM, OSLP). It also includes a "table" called "PLD__ITEMS" which has all the PLD system variables and no B1 table or field/column information.
As I'm just now starting to work with dunning letters, I see that I can't even run this report in Crystal. The PLD__Items datasource prompts me for a file path and class name. Any ideas what one enters here to run the report outside of B1 (from the Crystal report designer)?
The main focus of my question is: Has anyone created a Crystal Report to replicate the Dunning Letter and if so, what tables are involved and how are they connected? If I can create a Dunning Letter entirely in Crystal, I can replicate it across all clients and get the correct fields/columns of data the clients want. The inclusion of the PLD__Items apparently limits my ability to test the results. I would prefer to avoid the PLD limitations.
Thanks for any assistance.

Thank you Nagarajan. I have a dunning letter created in Crystal Reports for our client. It is fairly limited in scope, it just has the customer name and address, invoice numbers and dates, amounts due and the text they wanted in it.
I can import it into B1 9.0 and set it as the default for Dunning Letter #1 and it runs, but unlike other formats where there is a DocEntry and/or ObjectID and a ?DocKey@ or ?ObjectId@ parameter, how do I limit the report to just one customer? Typical document layouts run for the document that's on the screen. In the dunning process, the report runs once for every customer when the Dunning Letter Method is set to "One Letter per BP". I have to limit the report to one customer at a time. Right now, each dunning letter based on the Crystal report is identical and it contains all the data for every customer.
So, does anyone have any ideas for what selection criteria needs to be included in the Crystal report to have it select just one customer from the dunning wizard tables? Thanks.
Michael
Edit: I created a ?WizardID@ parameter and a ?CardCode@ parameter to limit the report to a single dunning wizard event and a single customer. While it works fine in Crystal itself, it doesn't work in B1 at all. I had thought that by limiting the report in this way, it would only create dunning letters for a single customer.

Strange problem crystal report & used-defined field

I've a user-defined field in the table OCLG
this field is alphanumeric linked to a user-defined table
I've read this field in crystal report
(at the moment is enough the code)
when I do the preview in crystal report there is not problem
but when I do the preview in SAP B1 I don't see any value
what could it be the cause?
thanks

I created it with the follow tool:
"Tools\Customisation Tools\User-Defined Fields-Management"
These are the field characteristics:
type: alphanumeric
lenght: 50
structure: regular
set linked table: <a user-defined table>
I also did the test to create a rpt with the only table OCLG and 2 field
- ClgCode
- U_Incaricato
the problem remains the same

Crystal Report not showing fields when connected to a stored procedure

I have a Stored Procedure that returns results when run in SQL Server, but when I add this to a Crystal Report it doesn't show any fields in the Field Explorer. But if I try any other SP, it works fine and I can see its fields.
As you can see in the picture below, I am unable to expand the fields in the report while creating the report using standard report procedure too.
I tried different ways, but nothing worked for me here. Please help me here.
(FYI, I am using Crystal Reports 2008, SQL Server 2008R2)

Hi Jamie,
I just found out the reason for this issue.
I wrote the stored procedure using the fields in the Datamart but the fields in the datamart in backend are connected to a different database which doesn't have SQL Server Authentication (for the Credentials) and that's the reason I was getting this issue.
Once my BI team granted the permission, for that fields connecting to the backend database, I was able to see all fields in the Crystal Report.

Unable to run Crystal Report due to error code called "database code:102

I have created a View on the SQL server and Now I am trying to run crystal report using that view. However, I get Database Vendor Code error message 102. Need your help, How can I ran a report using SQL veiws in Crystal?
thanks!
Mansoor

Hi,
The report is getting an error code 102 from the database driver.Try with searching the RDBMs type for error code 102, to narrow down the issue.
If data from database is failed to retrieve then,there are several causes of this error like disconnected tables, tables that are not connected properly.
Run your query in SQLcon32 and check that getting accurate output or not.

Shweta

Crystal Report - Linking tables

Hi all,
I had a look around for this subject matter but cannot find anything to answer my question. If you know where I can find the answer, please let me know.
I have 2 tables on Crystal Report and am trying to link the Primary table to the secondary one with a 'NOT EQUAL' link. ie. I want all the records in the Primary table (about 4000) which Do Not have an entry in the secondary one (about 3500) so I am expecting to get about 500 records.
I have tried with all the various link and Enforce Join options but cannot get the correct results.
I have also tried to link them with an Inner Joint of Equal Type then created a formula of Primary.key.field <> to Secondary.key.field but this is not working either as it returns no records.
Any idea?

Hi All,
This is to let you know that I have now found an answer to my questions (yiha!). So thanks to James Gust who answered a note from Joey041 on March 2nd.
Thanks a lot for being there.
Cheers, Sylvie

Crystal Report "some parameters are missing values" while exporting/printin

I am able to pass parameters from a JSP to a crystal report through CrystalReportViewer and view the report. (I tried doing it using the code provided on this help forum. I was getting a message: "Some Parameters are missing values". I had to add 1 line: pfield1.setReportName(""); for every parameter field. And It worked..)
Now I can see the "Print" and "Export" buttons. But when I try to print or export the report, I get the same message "Some Parameters are missing values".

see posting "parameter driven export to excel" on April 26th

Crystal Reports Temp tables - Driving Me crazy

Our ongoing saga with temp tables and crystal reports continues. I am ready to go crazy, so any help would be appreciated.
Notes:
I create the ##tempsmall table in query analyzer, so it is present when the code executes.
When I use the sa/Corinne credentials, it works.
When I use a non sa set of credentials, I get an error saying the temp table is not found.
When I add the non sa user to the tempdb as a user, with DBO permissions, It works.
Code is below
Dim Report As New ReportDocument()
Report.Load("C:\KI\Customers\Live Customers\Brookledge\ReportRD\CrystalReportsApplication1\Projects.rpt")
Dim LogInfo As New TableLogOnInfo
Dim Tbl As Table
For Each Tbl In Report.Database.Tables
LogInfo = Tbl.LogOnInfo
LogInfo.ConnectionInfo.ServerName = "ocamb-vista"
LogInfo.ConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "mapps20"
' We need to figure out how to make this work with a non sa user?
LogInfo.ConnectionInfo.UserID = "medequipuser"
LogInfo.ConnectionInfo.Password = "mapps"
'LogInfo.ConnectionInfo.UserID = "sa"
'LogInfo.ConnectionInfo.Password = "corinne"
Tbl.ApplyLogOnInfo(LogInfo)
Next Tbl
Report.Database.Tables.Item(0).Location = "tempdb.dbo.##tempsmall"
Dim v As New Viewer
v.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Report
v.Show()

Hi Scott,
The problem is tempdb is only accessible by the Administrator account and they are typically not to be used by anyone other than the system. This is how SQL server works, any query being run will create a temp table for the DB server to use and pass that data to the calling query, once completed the tempdb is deleted.
As you have seen, unless you set permissions each time for a specific user you don't have access to it. One option is to use real tables that you can populate and delete the rows of data each time. Not very efficient though.
Crystal respects all DB permissions so it's not a CR issue.
One possibility is in your front end you could use MS SQL Server API's, if there are any, or use a stored procedure to set permissions to the temp table before calling CR to set location. Sorry no samples to do this, its a DB server question.
Another option is to write the data into a Data Set and then set the location to the DS for CR to use. If you have more than 5000 row though don't do this or your reports will have performance problems.
CR does not have any API's that will allow you to access a table that it does not have permissions to get to. Basic DB security, you'll get the same log on error trying to connect ot any table that user doens't have access to.
Thank you
Don

Crystal Report Print Preview presenting users with Database Login

Issue
A user amended a crystal report form, on doing so has now made that Form unavailable to the majority of users to Print or Preview this is in 8.8 PL10. All other users on Previewing are presented with a window Database Login, but this only presents the server name, Database name is blank and greyed out and then there is only Login ID and Password available. If you enter in the database password a message appears stating failed login.
We have access to the SAP server and logged in and get the same message! but on the users machine who amended the Form they can print? any suggestions greatly appreciated

Hi Roger,
The problem sounds similar to what I've had recently, it was resolved by changing the database connection type to SAP Business One in Crystal Reports 2008, I can confirm that using OLE DB or other will still cause the login issue on other machines off the SQL server, the SAP Business one connection solves the issue.
I was fighting with this for hours, hope this helps you all.

Function module in crystal reports using tables as input

We had a function module created with a few import parameters. We successfully linked it in crystal and were able to retrieve the data.
To accommodate the requirement of being able to pick multiple values for some of the parameters, the import parameters were changed to tables. When testing in ECC, we are able to retrieve the data using the function module.
However, when we're using the same approach as before in crystal reports, we are not able to retrieve the data.
Is it possible in crystal to pass the input parameters to tables ?
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks,
Mat

Hi John,
The solution is very simple.
You create a function module in ECC (t-code SE37) that will receive you input parameters, process them, and export a table with your results.
In the function module you define an input parameter using a CHAR120 data type (ex. PERNR).
In the function module source code you add logic to split the input parameter
[SPLIT i_PERNR AT ',' INTO TABLE itab_PERNRS.]
You then create a crystal report against your function module.
In your crystal report you create a parameter using type "string" (ex. I_PERNR).
When you execute the crystal report, you input a comma delimited string in the parameter.
[00001234,00005678,00009123]
The function module will receive the string of values, split the string to an internal table, and process accordingly.
I still have no solution for the 120 character restriction in the CR->ECC interface. In the meantime, I get around this by creating multiple parameters (PERNR1, PERNR2, PERNR3, etc.).
Each parameter is set up to pass a string of 120 characters to ECC.
The function module is set up to concatenate the parameters before splitting.
[CONCATENATE PERNR1 PERNR2 PERNR3 into I_PERNR]
Hope this helps.

*Crystal Reports 2008 connection to oracle 11g database error IM003*

Hi ,
I am getting the following error when connecting to Oracle 11 g database using Crystal Reports 2008.
_Logon Failed:Details: IM003:Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 127 ( Oracle in OraClient11g).
Datebase Vendor Code:160.
The Login and Pw that I am using are correct.
*Could you please let me know any steps that i need to do to resolve this problem.
Thanks!*

Hello,
I haven't seen that error in years... There was a version of Oracles client that did not put the client install into the PATH statement.
Add the Oracle ...\Bin folder to your System Environment variables and then it should work.
Thank you
