Crystal Reports 2008: "convert DB null values to default"

All:
Quick question on CR 2008;
Which default value will be set when you enable u201Cconvert DB null values to defaultu201D using report option in CR - based on Database default value setting or Crystal Report's?
Thanks.
Sathish.

So it is Crystal Reports settings NOT database default value settings that Crystal Reports uses, correct?
Thank you!

Convert Database NULL Values to default

Hi Friends,
I have two doubts. Any help on this is appreciated -
1. Convert Database NULL Values to default / Convert Other NULL values to default ( from File Menu - Report Option ), can any one please tell that Default Values are the values from respective Database or Crystal Reports itself?
2. Can anybody please provide the site - link, document covering details of Crystal Reports performance optimization?
Thanks in advance !!

Ashish B

Hi Ashish,
Here are the few tips to enhance the performance of Crystal Reports.
1. While you are using subreports, always try to use on demand subreport when appropriate.
2. If you are creating linked subreports, try to base the link on an indexed field in the subreport.
3. If you are linking subreports with formula fields, try to keep the formula field in the main report and use a database field in the subreport.
4. Try to create proper indexed field in database, so that the data access will be faster.
5. Donu2019t use multiple data sources in reports. CRYSTAL REPORTS allows this situation, but it degrades performance.
6. Try to create SQL expression fields. Since they are evaluated in database server side, so the performance can be enhanced.
7. Always use server side processing or server side grouping. To do so, choose Database | Perform Grouping On Server from the pull down menu.
8. Donu2019t use Crystal Reports formula languageu2019s built-in functions, such as ToText, in your selection criteria.
9. Donu2019t base record selection on formula fields.
There are a number of factors that affect the processing speed of reports in Crystal Reports. For more information, search for the document u2018Tips to Improving Report Processing Speedu2019 which may improve your reportu2019s performance.
Hope it helps!!

Crystal reports 2008 Set optional parameter value

Hi,
I'm working with .net Visual Studio 2008 C# and Crystal reports 2008 (Crystal.Decisions) and when I try to set a parameter to optional and set its value to no value, it returns the error: "Invalid parameter name", here is my code:
foreach (CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField param in Report.ParameterFields)
                        if (!param.HasCurrentValue &&
                            !Report.DataDefinition.ParameterFields[param.Name].IsLinked())
                            switch (param.ParameterValueType)
                                case ParameterValueKind.NumberParameter:
                                    param.IsOptionalPrompt = true;
                                    param.CurrentValues.IsNoValue = true;
                                    break;
I'm doing this because some of the parameters can be left null, and in this case I don't want to show the parameter prompt.
In past versions of Crystal (such as Crystal Reports 11.5) we had the chance to left the parameter value null and did not showed the parameter prompt dialog, and this behavior repeats in a lot of reports.
thanks in advanced

Please don't post the same question more than once. This is a public forum so be patient.
Install SP4 and test again.

Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Additional parameter values are needed

I recently upgraded to Crystal Reports 2008 SP3, and now when I try an export a report from the Crystal Reports Designer, I get the error "Additional parameter values are needed before this report can be saved or viewed with data. Click 'Ok' to enter the missing values or 'Cancel' to proceed without data". I am trying to export the report to Crystal Reports format. The report is getting data from a MS SQL 2005 stored proc. I tried building a new simple report (just took all the fields in the result set and put them in the details section) using the same stored proc, and get the same error when I try to export.
FYI, before I try to export I always preview the data in the report, so the parameters are defiantly set correctly.
This was working correctly in Crystal Reports 2008 SP2.

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

How to set Default DateTime values in Crystal Reports 2008

Hi All,
I'm using Crystal Reports 2008. I have two fields FromDate and ToDate in reports. While running report, FromDate field should be displayed with CurrentDate + 00:00:00 in the UI and for ToDate it should be displayed with CurrentDate + 23:59:59 format.
I have tried the below things, But still I want to set CurrentDate + 00:00:00 time in DateTime field.
"In CR 2008 you would set the time portion to 00:00:00 in this way:
1) Edit the date/time parameter and look for the 'Default Value' option; it would be blank
2) Set this to 00:00:00
This would default the calendar to 12/30/1899 00:00:00. The only worry here is, when you click on the calendar icon you would be presented with the calendar for the year 1899 and it is painstaking to scroll all the way to the current year."
I found one solution in SAP forum and I have added the below lines in Record Selection formula,
{@FromDate} = date(@CurrentDate)+time(00,00,00)
{@ToDate} = date(@CurrentDate)+time(23,59,59)
When I run the report, I still getting the empty values in the input parameters screen.
Am I missing anything? Kindly help
Thanks,
Ramesh Kumar G.

Converting a binary string into a JPEG image in Crystal Reports 2008

Hi Gang
Iu2019m having problems converting a binary string into an image in Crystal Reports 2008
I have JPEG images stored in ECC. ECC stores the data in binary format.
Iu2019m using the ECC function module SKWF_PHIO_CONTENT_ACCESS_GET to retrieve the data. This function module has an export table, FILE_CONTENT_BINARY, which returns several lines of data. Each line contains a maximum of 1,024 characters.
When I drop the T_ FILE_CONTENT_BINARY.LINE field into my Crystal Report detail section, I wind up with a report that displays all the lines in FILE_CONTENT_BINARY table. (in my case, 19 lines are displayed.)
I created a formula to collect all the data into a single string.
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar data:= data & {SKWF_PHIO_CONTENT_ACCESS_GET.T_FILE_CONTENT_BINARY.LINE}
I added the formula to the detail section and itu2019s doing a great job collecting the data.
I then inserted a picture object in the report footer, opened the format editor, navigated to the u201Cpictureu201D tab, and inserted a formula for the u201Cgraphics locationu201D.
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar data:=data;
data
My clever idea turned out to be a disappointment . . . . my picture object is blank.
Does anyone have a solution for converting a binary string into a JPEG image?

Save the JPEG in a format CR supports. Refer to the help file for the file types.

Can someone help me resolve the issue.

The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save. Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full". If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error. However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything). The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem. Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2. The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size. However, the API reports memory full.
The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing. When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have? Are there known problems with large images in reports? Do we need to lodge a formal support request?

In my ASP.net Application Viewiing reports using Crystalreportviewer PrintMode=ActiveX (not in PDF).If i am trying to print using Printcontrol.cab..in the client machine the activeX control is not installing in client. Its works good with crystal report bundle with 2005. with crystal report 2008 its not working. I want to know how i configuer web.config and others. Help me Pls.
Instead of these code
<configSections>

Crystal Reports 2008 - passing a parameter in the Command Object

Hi,
I am using Crystal Reports 2008. I have 4 Command Objects where I have the following queries.
select emrace, count(empl_id) cntFCiv from emmain where emtype='CIV' and emsex ='F' and emdateterm is null group by emrace
select emrace, count(empl_id) cntFSw from emmain where emtype='SWOR' and emsex ='F' and emdateterm is null group by emrace
select emrace, count(empl_id) cntMCiv from emmain where emtype='CIV' and emsex = 'M' and emdateterm is null group by emrace
select emrace,count(empl_id) cntMSw from emmain where emtype='SWOR' and emsex = 'M' and emdateterm is null group by emrace
I want to pass a parameter to all these command objects. I want the user to select a parameter from a list of values. So, I created a parameter object, Bureau. (I get the values for the parameter with this command object: select code_agcy, descriptn from systab1 where code_key = 'UNIT'). I want the user to be able to get the counts for each bureau.
How do I pass the parameter that the user picked to those command objects. I tried doing this:
select emrace, count(empl_id) cntFCiv from emmain where emtype='CIV' and emsex ='F' and emdateterm is null
and emunit = '{?Bureau}' group by emrace
But it did not work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Report Selection Formula Error with Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3.5

Hello,
My name is Carlos, and I would like to report a defect found in the Crystal Reports 2008 SP 3 Fix Pack 3.5 Runtime that is affecting the majority of our reports. As well, I would like to ask if there is a simple workaround that does not involve updating hundreds of reports.
The issue is that the runtime engine incorrectly returns the report selection formula. I have included sample code showing what I mean.
To reproduce;
1. Create a simple report that has a date range filter like:
({Orders.Order_Date} >= {?START_DATE})
AND ({Orders.Order_Date} <= {?END_DATE})
2. Create a test app as follow that loads a report using the following code:
ReportDocument rpt = null;
try
rpt = new ReportDocument();
rpt.Load("TestReport.rpt");
this.txtMessage.Text = string.Format(
    "ReportSelectionFormula:{0}{1}",
     Environment.NewLine,
rpt.RecordSelectionFormula);
catch (Exception ex)
this.txtMessage.Text = ex.ToString();
3. Install Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3.5 Runtime [https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006341772011E/cr2008fp35_redist.zip]..
4. Execute the app.
At this stage, the screen shows
ReportSelectionFormula:
(   ( NOT {Orders.Order_Date} >= {?START_DATE} )   AND   ( NOT {Orders.Order_Date} <= {?END_DATE} )   )
The expected value is:
ReportSelectionFormula:
(   ( {Orders.Order_Date} >= {?START_DATE} )   AND   ( {Orders.Order_Date} <= {?END_DATE} )   )
If we were to repeat the same test above but use the Crystal Reports 2003 SP3 runtime (i.e. no Fix Pack), which can be dowloaded from [https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123592010E/cr2008sp3_redist.zip], we would get the correct report selection formula. A side-effect for this incorrect report selection formula is a runtime exception complaining about an errorkind and a boolean being expected.
Do you know if there is any workaround that I can apply in code, perhaps a different Fix Pack? Is there a Fix Pack expected to be released soon? It is not practical for us to update our reports and use a different style in the record selection formula because we have many such reports, and our customers probably have even more.
Thank you.
-Carlos.

Already a known issue, here's the [KB 1584095 - A boolean NOT is added at the beginning of a record selection formula when the report is loaded by the Crystal Reports .NET SDK |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533383334333033393335%7D.do]

Crystal Reports 2008 - Changing Table Locations

Hello,
we have several reports which we use by different customers. The customers use different name spaces (table locations) for the same data. To use the same reports with different table locations, we wrote a piece of software replacing the connection strings and table locations.
Example:
A report should be used in a test environment as well as in a production environment:
The original SQL is (using a DB2 database on a AS400):
    SELECT alias.name FROM as400.production.users alias
The modified SQL looks like:
    SELECT alias.name FROM as400.test.users alias
Up to now we used Crystal XI and developed using RDC. We solved the above described problem by reading the report SQL string, replacing the table location in this string and assigned it back to the report object. Modifying the SQL string has the advantage that it works fine also for reports which contain a SQL command.
Since Crystal Reports 2008 this is not possible anymore (no RDC, no direct way to modify the report SQL string).
My first approach was to use the CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table object. First I just wanted to see what really was the content of the Location and Name property:
for (int i = 0; i < rdReport.Database.Tables.Count; ++i)
Table rt = rdReport.Database.Tables<i>;
Console.WriteLine("Table Nr : {0}", i);
Console.WriteLine(" Table Loc : {0}", rt.Location);
Console.WriteLine(" Table Name : {0}", rt.Name);
My problem with this is that the output for the report with the SQL in the above example is:
Table Nr: 0
Table Loc : users
Table Name: alias
So obviously not the real table location and table name is returned, but instead the table name for the table location and the alias for the table name. Unsurprisingly setting the location had not the originally desired effect.
Furthermore if the report was designed using a SQL command, the location and in the name property contain the string COMMAND. Therefore the table object doesn't seems to be the solution to my problem.
Thanks to the help of a user in this forum here, I figured out how to read the SQL string of a report. Unfortunately I did not found a way to assign it back to the report.
Has anybody here an idea how to solve my problem? I'm open for every kind of hint.
Thanks in advance,
Ron

My solution looks like this:

Error while dynamically setting logo image in Crystal Report 2008

Hi,
We have embedded Crystal Report 2008 JRC in our web application which is an Enterprise Archive (EAR) deployed on WebSphere Application Server.
The RPT files bundulled in the archive displays a logo which is dynamicalli picked up by the RPT files from a configured location. Due to this the Report generation crashes when travesed to the sub reports/ groups within RPT. We have observed that this problem never occures if the logo is hard coded within the RPT files.
The report crashing causes another big problem, it crashes the Applciation Server too. This is major concern to us and we need a resolution to this problem.
Thanks in advance

Two problmes between Crystal Reports 2008 and Bex Query

Hi Gurus.
I have two problems with Crystal Reports 2008 when It obtains data from a Bex Query (SAP MDX query connection).
1)     I have defined some Parameters Fields using the follow options:
Type: String
List of Values: Dynamic
Value Options Level1:
                     Show on (Viewer) Panel :Editable
                      Prompt text: <text>
                      Sort Order: Ascending by value
                      Prompt With description Only : False
                      Optional Prompt: True
                      Allow multiple values: True
                      Allow discrete values: True
                      Allow range values: False
When I execute the report with the client of Crystal Reports 2008 (the developer tool), in the initial screen shows a list box where I can select the values from the left box and add it to the left box (as a usually filter). When the number of options (LOV) is more than the maximum of the system, I have a input box bellow the list box, where I can insert any value (manually) and a button to insert it into the left box. When I publish the Report in the infoview, this filter is modified and the input box where I can introduce manually values is not showed and I can insert only the values showed in the list box, it causes that I can`t select a lot of values that is in the master data of SAP BW, because they arenu2019t listed in the list box.
There is any option to ability this option in the infoview.
2)     My Bex query, have a date filter with variable in the restricted key figures, when I execute a Crystal Reports, the infoview (and the Crystal Reports 2008 designer) ask me 2 times the same date, first only the date and second the date and the rest of parameters (introduced in the report of Crystal Reports).
Why I need insert the date 2 times? How can I modify the Crystal Report for ask me only one time all the parameters?.
Thanks.

Hi Abhilash.
Thank you for your information.
1) Yes, the parameters are created in the Crystal Reports designer. I have created the parameters in the Crystal Report because I use the same Bex Query to create some Crystal Report, in other case, I will need create some Bex Query.
2)The Bex query has the date filters and I have created some filters in Crystal Reports designer, the date filter from the Bex query is created automatically in the Crystal Report Designer but I don't use it, I haven't created it anytime. I use my filters only in the record selection. The date filters from the Bex query is showed as Static, and I can`t delete it, if I modify the parameter to dynamic or static with values, at first step ask me again static without values and the second step of the report execution ask me the parameter as I have defined in Crystal Reports Designer, my parameters fields are dynamic. A lot of reports have subreport, but I have created one of them without subreport (to trial) and the Crystal Reports ask me the date filters at first execution, and when I insert the date filters, in the second step, ask me the date filters again and my parameters fields again.
Thank you again.
