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!

JDBC-ODBC Bridge does not support Unicode UTF-16

Hi
I'm using Jdeveloper 10.0.3 IDE in order to develop an application for data transformation between MS Access 2003 (source) and Oracle 10g (destination). Clients use Windows XP.
JDBC-ODBC Bridge still does not support Unicode UTF-16 which is the Charest used by MS Access 2000/2003.
Note that when I changed locale in regional setting, destination Connection to Ora10g failed to open a connection, it works only with English locale, so I can't change my locale information.
How can I read Unicode from source DB?
Any help would be appreciated. I look forward to see your response.
Thanks,

i also heared that JDBC-ODBC Bridge still does not support Unicode UTF-16,
but i guess this is not in my case.That's the key in fact. JDBC-ODBC Bridge does not support UTF-16, which is the charset used by MS Access 2000/2003.
or do i need to use a third party driver for jdbc odbc bridge?Free library at http://jackcess.sourceforge.net/

hi,
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 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 Voon

Hi 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.

Visual Studio 2013 Crystal Report V9 does not display in browser

Hello, I work with Visual Studio 2013, and was anxious for version 13.0.9.1312, glad you came. Well I installed the full version and the report usually opened in VS, but when it does not compile command displays. Published in a local and it worked, but the VS does not work, if you click with the right mouse button to display codes are the codes it, but does not show. I used IE, and nothing Chomo. How does VS2013 use IIS Express as a server. Have any solution for this?

See this post for the answer...

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 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.

You have to match BOE with the version of CR to make this work.

Crystal Reports XI does not allow to change Table to SQL command?

I have report that has Table in Datasource and this table used in report and all fileds are mapped. I need to change table to SQL Command with the same result set of collumns. When I try to Update in Set Datasource Location - it does not work. CR XI allow to update Command to table but Table to Command just do nothing.
What I have to do or how I can do it?

Alexander,
That's probably the "Best" way to do it, and long term you'll want to start adding BOE to your work flow.
If you want to get around it, here how:
1) MAKE A COPY OF YOUR REPORT AND WORK FROM THE COPY!!! This involves some a good deal of destruction before you get into reconstruction.
2) Once you have created your command, remove the table.
3) Now the fun part... Go through report and manually change all references to the 1st table...
   report fields
   formulas
   selection criteria
   groups
   the whole 9 yards...
A short cut for the future... If you make all of your formula copies of all of your fields ( fCustomerName = {Table.CustomerName} ) and then only use the formula version of the field in the reports, you can make these changes very easily. (All you have to do is update the one set of formulas.)
Also as a side note before you get started... You may want to think twice before you mix commands with tables. You loose the server side filtering and grouping on the tables when you do that. So if you have several tables, you are better off doing the whole thing in one SQL command, do all of your filtering and sorting there and use it to replace ALL of your tables.
Basically, Graham's way is the easy way... Assuming you have access to the BOE.

Crystal Report 2011 does not display when keyfigures are zero

I am using Crystal report 2011 with BEX Queries as Data Source. I am not able to see some of the characteristics values when keyfigures are zero or null. In BEX query there is a costCenter Characterstic, few costcenter characteristics values are zero for some months but BEX Query is designed to show as spaces even if the keyfigures are zero for those costcenters. When I am using the same Bex Query with Crystal report 2011 all the costcenters with keyfigures as zero are not showing up on the report. Can anybody suggest how I can show the characterstics values even if all the keyfigures are zero. (I have not selected any kind of suppression in section expert in crystal report), (In Bex Query CostCenter- Properties-Advanced----Access Type for Result values are set to Master Data)

Hi,
Have you made sure the correct Transport files have been loaded on the SAP system? Since you're using CR 2011, you need to make sure the Transports that come with this version of CR are present on the SAP system.
Could you see if the workaround mentioned in SAP Note: 1391673 works for you?
Here's a snippet of the SAP Note:
SAP Development team of BW BEX MDX Interface suggest the following implementation:
Since Crystal Reports is not correctly interpreting the character used to represent NULL values (by default the value: X) please use the Customizing transaction: RSCUSTV4 to change the sent value.
Please note, this is a Global setting, and will also modify the behaviour in BEx application.
WORKAROUND: Create a formula field based on the selection that always returns a number - converting null to 0.
Create a formula in BEx for the KF.
Edit the Selection
Edit the formula to behave like:
COUNT ('KF') * 'KF' + 0
('RKF' + 0) * 1
Not generally acceptable since it requires duplicating fields.
Also, business may not accept 0,00 for a NULL result.
Hope this helps!

The "next" button of crystal report viewer does not work

hi
I use crystal report viewer control to show my crystal report on my aspx page.
like:
<CR:CrystalReportViewer id="CRViewer" runat="server" HasRefreshButton="False" PrintMode="ActiveX" DisplayGroupTree="False"
AutoDataBind="True"
SeparatePages="TRUE"
Height="520px"
Width="900px">
</CR:CrystalReportViewer>
however when I try to navigate to next page by click "Next" arrow button on the crystal report viewer toolbar, it only can navigate to the page 2, whatever I click the "Next" button, it still stay on page 2,
actually this report has 10 pages.
On the other hand, if I input the page number, such as 5 on the "goto" textbox, it will jump to page 5 correctly.
Could you give me any good advices to solve this problem?
Thanks.

There are a few threads discussing the issue in this forum. See if these provide some guidance:
"Next Page" wont go beyond page 2 in Html Viewer (Crystal.NET for VS 2008)

How do i delploy on hosted server which does not support crystal. Is RAS ?

have to put a solution on a public hosted server. it does not support crystal . cannot add to GAC
if i use RAS(or cr 2008 server) on another server . Web app works on public server but points to my RAS server. Do I still need components on the public server. if I do this will not work,
any ideas
John

many thanks. there is some tendancy to cloud hosts. all you get is ftp access and .net ompersonation.
just drop the webisite in. so no MSI use which also rules out merged modules
thanks
