Crystal Reports 2008 in InfoView

Hi all,
please enlight me - is it possible to design/modify crystal reports in InfoView (BO XI 3.1) like in InfoView XI R2 (using CR Explorer)? This funcionality is missing in XI 3.0 - am i right? Design/modify only in standalone CR Designer?
Thanks for help!
ps:
I am looking for a way to create a report without configuring odbc/ole sources and not using Webi (i want to access many db tables - access through Universe is not a way and through BusinessViews is OK). It is intended for occasional user so the way through www looks good (like CR Explorer in BO XI R2) but it seems there is no such CRE in BO R3.

Hi Janusz,
Yes ,We cannot  design/modify crystal reports in InfoView (BO XI 3.1) like in InfoView XI R2.
The  Design/modify   can be done  in  Crystal  Designer.
To access database through explorer   we need to retrieve the records based on our  request.
In business view manager is used as a repository items  for enterprise. Where all the  dynamic parameters created are stored.
Using universe we need to create the objects based on database fields.
Just let us know is there any option you are looking for.
Regards,
Naveen.

  • Crystal Report 2008 SP2 & InfoView: Custom XML Export doesnt work

    Hi,
    I have created a Crystal Report .rpt and want to use the custom xml export function to output a custom xml file. For that, I created a custom transformation file (xsl) and imported it into the .rpt . On the client machine, if I open the .rpt with Crystal Reports 2008 SP2, and select to export it using the custom xml output, all runs fine. (under SP1, only half the file was created...)
    If I upload the .rpt file to Infoview (server-side: BO Enterprise 3.1, SP2 as well) and schedule it, I can select xml, and then my custom xml as output format, but I am getting the error message u201EUngültige Exportoptionen" (="invalid export options"), in the instance history. No output file is created. I use file system as destination. Other output formats like .pdf and .rpt work fine and files are created.
    Ideas:
    -Are there any more settings needed on the server (e.g.CMC - Crystal Server Jobs, other Processes, ...) so I can schedule the report and successfully create the custom xml format file as output?
    -Do I need to upgrade to a specific SP or FP on server-side so everything runs smooth?
    Thanks for your help!

  • 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.

  • Customizing ActiveX Viewer for Crystal Reports 2008

    Here's the scenario.
       We have reports designed in Crystal Reports 2008, that are deployed on Business Objects 3.1 Infoview. All reports have Parameters for users to choose. All reports are expected to refresh on open.Some are dynamic some are standard static ones. There is an application developed in JAVA that is rendering these reports using the ActiveX viewer.
    The users are not comfortable with the way reports look in JAVA viewer. Hence the choices are either HTML viewer or ActiveX viewer.
    The application achieves this by making OpenDoc call to the report and using
    sViewer=actx
    as one of the parameters. Here's the issue that we run into. When users land on the parameter screen, the parameter screen alone Pops Up in a new window. Once all the parameter values are entered and the users clicks OK, the window vanishes and actual report is rendered in the original window.
    If we use HTML viewer by setting
    sViewer=html
    The report Parameter screen is rendered in the main window without popping up. However we do not wish to use HTML viewer because, some of the reports are linked to other reports with OpenDoc calls. i. e. Parent report calls child report with a OpenDoc call. In the HTML viewer, when you click on the link to child report, it opens in same window despite setting
    sWindow=new
    in that opendoc call. Thereby losing parent report and no way to navigate back to it. This problem does not happen in ActivX viewer.There it seems to obey the command to open in new window.
    Lastly you can recreate all this behavior by setting your viewer preferences in Info View settings. 
    So, here's my questions.
    1. Should I use the .Net viewer instead of ActiveX Viewer ? If so, where can I find Syntax for the same ?
    2. Can someone point me to documentation on the ActiveX Viewer ? Specifically making it not to Pop Up the Parameter Screen ?
    3. Should the Java application use a different method other than Open Doc to cal the reports ? If so where can I get the details ?
    Apologies for the long post. I tried to anticipate most of the questions that may arise in your mind. Thanks in advance for the time invested.

    Thank you Adam for the help.
    I already have the Open Document document you mentioned. Can't seem to search for the KB article in Marketplace. No results found.
    Just to clarify, I do not want to avoid the Parameter screen. Its the fact that it Pops Up in ActiveX viewer is the issue. The only thing I want in ActiveX viewer is to make that screen appear in main window just like HTML viewer.
    I understand that there is no difference as far as opendoc is concerned between .Net or JAVA. I am looking for the SDK behind the viewers themselves.
    To my third question, your answer is what I was looking for. But need a bit clarification.

    > If you do not like the functionality that OpenDocument provides, you could use the SDK to view the reports, but you will likely run into the same issue as you are running into when using the html viewer.  The only workaround for that is to set a property on the viewer object in the SDK but it will affect all hyperlinks in the report not just a single one.
    By setting Property in SDK for the viewer Object, are you referring to Meta Tag encapsulation such as
    <a href= http://infoview.server.com/Infoview/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=ABZR3Z&sIDType=CUID&&sType=wid&sRefresh=Y&sWindow=new>Report Title</a>
    May be I didn't get your point with setting property. I know there is documentation on Viewer SDK. I just can't seem to find it. I hope it would answer the questions.

  • Crystal Report 2008 / JavaScript hyperlink formula/ Issue

    Hi,
    We've developed the Crystal Report using the Crystal Reports 2008 software & integrated it in asp.net web page and also deployed in IIS web server. We have a requirement like opening the sub report in a new window. We have integrated the sub report also in a asp.net web page & passing the parameters in URL & acheived it..
    For the above, we have used JavaScript code like "javascript:window.open('SubReport.aspx','...','..' ...)" in the hyperlink formula field of main report. It works fine while running using VS 2005 in the development box.
    But in production serer (Windows 2003 server), the JS URL in the formula field is not working properly. Instead , it is rendered as a drill down JS url. Like javascript:bobj.event.publish('drilldown',........)
    Can you please help us to resolve this issue?
    (OR) Do we have any other approach to open the web page in new window from CR (same like a popup window)
    Thanks

    Edited by: Jeyakumar Seenivasagam on Nov 21, 2008 12:02 PM

    I understand that the point of this is to allow the URL link to open the Subreport.aspx page in a new window. This can be problematic due to cross-site scripting restrictions. A few years ago we found that it was possible for report writers to add JavaScript to reports. This isn't a problem if the report writers are honest and nice. However, it is possible for JavaScript to be malicious so that ability to include JavaScript was turned off when the app uses our webform viewers. There may be a way to turn it off in the registry though. This is documented for CR XI r2 [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do].
    I am not sure if this reg key works for the .NET viewer, though the note specifies DHTML and .NET InfoView, so CR should work also. As you are using CR 2008, I suspect the key would be:
    HKLMSoftwareBusiness ObjectsSuite 12.0Crystal Reports
    You will most likely have to add the Export folder, then add the HTML folder, then add the EncodeHTMLForSingleLineFieldObjects and set it to "no".
    Please note that this is a hack / workaround found for CR XI r2. The functionality you are looking to exploit was removed for a reason. As such if the above does not work for CR 2008, it will not be considered to be a "bug" and we will not be able to send this to R&D for a resolution.

  • Font style issue with exporting report in Crystal Reports 2008

    Hi,
    I got stuck on the below issue for a while. Please can anyone help on this?
    When I designed and executed a report in Crystal Reports 2008 on my local PC, the font style and size used in charts were exactly what I was expecting.
    However, after I exported the report to our BusinessObjects CMC and displayed it in InfoView, the font style and size in charts looked quite different from what they were in CrystalReports.
    Any ideas of how to fix this issue?
    Thanks!

    Hi Nanda Kishore,
    This is because you do not have proper rights on Business View Manager.  Whenever you create a dynamic parameter in crystal and try to save the report on BO, it creates a Business view automatically.  Now in your case, it is unable to create a business view due to insufficient rights.
    Go in Business View Manager u2013 Repository exploreru2014You will find Dynamic Cascading Prompts folderu2014Right click on that and go in rights and add your user information and give full rights.
    Also make sure that your BO and CR designer on same version and patch level.
    Thanks,
    Sastry

  • Nonsensical top level PDF bookmark in Crystal report exported from InfoView

    Thank you for any help or suggestions!
    I am using Crystal Reports 2008, the CMC repository, and InfoView.  I am producing PDF reports, many with bookmarks based on the group tree. 
    I have found that when I run my report off my workstation, all is fine, but when I run the same report out of InfoView, the top level bookmark is a string of nonsensical numbers and characters.
    Is there a way for me to ensure that this top level bookmark is something readable, perhaps the name of the report? 
    Thank you for your help!

    Hi,
    I ran into this problem just recently myself.  The report would export just fine out of the designer but when I would try to export it from CMC it would give me a root bookmark named along the lines of "~crw{33FB2DCD-838A-(more gibberish)....}.rpt"
    I eventually figured out how to solve it.  I am using Crystal XI R2, not 2008, but I suspect you may be able to resolve the issue using the same steps.  I believe that the gibberish name that you are seeing is the actual technical name of the report as it is stored on the Enterprise server.  In order to get it to display a nice formatted name of your choosing, open up your report in the report designer.  Now go to the File menu and select Summary Info.  In the Title section, provide the name of the report that you would like to see at the root of the bookmark.  You are esentially setting up an alias for it.  Now when you export, you should see the new name that you typed in as the main part of the bookmark.
    Hope this works for you!

  • Crystal Reports 2008 - Error 1904 - DLLs will not register

    I have just tried to install Crystal Reports 2008 on a PC which is running on XP Professional 2002 (Service Pack 3) and none of the DDLs will register.  I have administrator privileges on the local PC.

    Before running CR 2008 Install SP 3: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
    You could also try Disabling DEP, right click on My Computer, Properties, Advanced tab and Data Execution Prevention and make sure it's set to windows Processes only. Requires a re-boot if changed.
    Disable any and all anti-virus and local firewalls, copy everything local and disconnect your network cable so you don't get anything nasty and try again.
    If none of the above works then try someone elses computer, your system may be beyond repairing and could require an FDISK and starting all over.

  • Parameters Panel empty in Crystal Reports web viewer (infoView)

    Hello experts,
    here is my situation:
    While viewing my reports, any of them, even the examples that come with installation, and I click on the button to show the Parameters Panel it just shows a blank (gray) panel....
    so then I'm unable to change any parameter like a range of dates for example, and my report shows only the information related to the parameters I choose when I was in Crystal Reports 2008 and published it.
    How could I solve this issue enabling again that panel?
    Thanks in advance,
    Carlos Henrique Matos da Silva - SAP BusinessObjects BI - Brazil.

    Hello Tracy,
    thanks for the reply.
    yes, I already have some parameters set up there as you said and I can view them while developing in Crystal Reports 2008 and I can change whenever I want......
    the issue is just when viewing in infoView, or also in the HTML preview in CR2008. In this case it shows me a panel without anything in it (gray), it's like something is missing to load it properly.
    Please advise.
    Thanks in Advance,

  • Unable to Schedule Crystal reports 2008 based on MSAS 2000

    Hi,
       I created Crystal Report 2008 (XI R 3.1 SP3 FP 3.2) on Cube MSAS 2000 SP4. I do not see any option to configure database credentials. While creating report in the wizard I did not enter any User name and Password Info (I have admin credentials to Cube but when I give these credentials and try to create report, CR designer hangs, not sure why?). The idea is to pick cube level security for the user who is trying to view / refesh the report.
    Could you please help: 1. To configure Database info in CMC
                                           2. To implement cube level security to these crystal reports.
    Nanda Kishore.

    Hi Experts,
      Could you please help. My intention to capture Cube Level Security while refrshing Crystal Reports in Infoview.
      I am uanble to refresh report in Infoview.

  • Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and BO XI 3.1 conflict

    Hi every body,
    We have a BOE system:
    BO XI 3.1
    Oracle db 10g
    All running successful and can create some types of WebI report.
    But we also want reports with Crystal Report.
    1> So we install Crystal Report 2008 SP3 (without knowing the conflict error between BO XI 3.1 and Crystal Report 2008 SP3 and overwrite some .dll file). After installing, we can not create WebI report any more. And a error message box display: "DBDriver failed to load: C:\Program File\Business Objects\BusinessObjects ENterprise12.0\win32_x86\dataAccess\connectionServer\dbd_oci.dll ".
    2> We uninstall Crystal Report SP3. But this is not the solution. Still error because of missing .dll files.
    3> We open BO XI 3.1 setup and repair BO XI 3.1. Even we uninstall BO XI 3.1, delete all of its components and delete in regedit key. We install BO XI 3.1 again. Now we have full .dll file, not missing them any more. But when we open universe and click on Table browser, cannot fetching any tables.
    We set rights for Oracle DB user again. But still error: cannot fetching.
    4> We searched the solution for this problem on the internet. But not worked, no answer.
    Can somebody help me bring back the BOE system state again ? pls   :"<
    T______T

    Hi Paul,
    I hope I read your question right!
    Yes, It is possible to run XIR2 and 3.1 on the same server although it's not recommended by BO. You will need to make sure they are both pointing to different CMS databases and different FRS repositories, like you already mentioned you will need to specify different ports for the CMS db and Tomcat.
    Why not uninstall Business Objects XI R2 in your BO development environment or a spare server (if you have one), and do a clean install of XI 3.1 SP3.
    Tip: If you were already having performance issues with your XI R2 environment, I would seriously consider upgrading the hardware. XI 3.1 needs a bit more RAM and CPU than XI R2

  • 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

  • Not able to get the tables in crystal report 2008

    Hi,
    I am using crystal report 2008 and trying to connect MS SQL using OLE DB (ADO) connection. After giving all DB credentials data base tables are not appearing in the connection. how to get the tables for selection in crystal report 2008.
    Regards,
    Sree

    In the CR Designer, select the connection and press the right mouse button. Select Options in the context menu and check if there is an entry in the Table name fiel. Maybe you have a placeholder there that does not match the names of the tables in the database. Just remove it, close the window by pressing OK and refresh the connection browser (press F5). Unfold the connection again and check if you can see the tables now.
    Regards,
    Stratos

  • Exporting Options in Crystal Reports 2008

    I am using Crystal Reports 2008 to make my report for my users.   I am also programming a viewer in vb 2005 so the users can view the report without changing it.  In the viewer I need to be able to export to excel or pdf or any other format.  I want the user to be able to specify where and how to export the report.  However when they press on the export button it is giving a save as dialog box, which, while it gives options to save as excel or pdf, it does not give the options such as to application, or to file, which are there in the full crystal report product. 
    My form gets the report name, sets up the data source and then displays it in a
    CrystalReportViewer object. 
    CrystalViewer.ReportSource = MyReportDocument
            CrystalViewer.DisplayToolbar = True
            CrystalViewer.ShowRefreshButton = False
            CrystalViewer.DisplayStatusBar = True
            CrystalViewer.EnableDrillDown = True
            CrystalViewer.EnableRefresh = False
            CrystalViewer.EnableToolTips = True
            CrystalViewer.ShowExportButton = True
    The export button is there, it just does not give all of the options that I would have expected.  I see there are ways to programatically use the options, however the export dialog box that appears in crystal reports 2008 would be useful to the user here.  Is there a way to make that box show up.  Perhaps it should be and I am doing something wrong.  I am very new to .net and crystal 2008, we used to use crystal 8.0 with vb6 for a viewer.  In that version the export dialog box showed up correctly.  Thank you for your help.  Also, if i am posting this in the wrong forum area please let me know so i can post it where it should be.

    You are doing things the correct way, unfortunately the export dialog is very basic.  If you want this extra functionality, you will have to code it yourself.

  • Crystal Reports 2008 Repository Explorer

    Hi,
    I am new to Crystal Reports 2008. I want to use Crystal Reports 2008 Repository.  My question is as it was done in Crystal Report 9 Professional edition that a crystal report developer can create a Repository while using Crystal Report 9 Professional edition without Crystal report Server, Is this also possible with Crystal Report 2008. If we only have Crystal Report 2008 designer or developer edition, can we create Repository's i.e.  Text Objects,  Images,  Custom Functions,  SQL  Commands etc without having Crystal Report 2008 Server, if yes please let me know the method.
    Thanks in advance
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I was on web found this link
    http://www.crystalkeen.com/articles/crystalreports/repository.htm
    which says that:
    Crystal Reports: Repository
    A solid understanding of the repository can really improve the the efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness of your reports. Hammerman and Associates offers classes on this very subject. We aren't going to cover all of it here, but will provide some highlights.
    Use the CR9 Repository for those commonly used objects
    The Crystal Reports 9.0 repository is a great place to store some commonly used items in your report. This includes text strings, images, SQL Commands (see next item) and Custom Formulas.
    The Repository is initially stored in an Access database and has an ODBC connection with the System DSN of u201CCrystal Repository.u201D But you can use any ODBC data source including a database in your network so you can all share the same common objects.
    Create a new database for the repository. We recommend you copy the existing MS-Access database, but you can start with an empty database. (The initial repository is Repository_en.mdb, stored in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin).
    Create an ODBC connection to the new database. The new database does not have to be an Access database. If you use your SQL Server or Oracle server then, by using server security you can control who can view and who can edit items in the repository.
    You next need to set Crystal Reports 9.0 to use this new Database connection. This control information is stored in an INI file and can be edited with any text editor such as NotePad. The INI file is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin\orMap.ini .
    There is a line in this file that saysu2026 Crystal Repository=Crystal Repository .
    Edit this to say Crystal Repository=New ODBC DSN.
    Is this also possible with Crystal Report 2008 designer/developer edition.
    Thanks
    Vipin
