Crystal reports 2008 preview doesnot prompt parameters

Hi All,
I have created a crystal report in 2008 using OLE DB(ADO) connection. I have created a command to select few fields in one of our tables and the result should display based on parameter sent. When I created the command i as well created parameter using parameter list window. The parameter is setup and all is fine when I click preview the report it prompts for all record or first hundred records when i said ok it should prompt me for the Parameter which it doesnot. Every time i need to go to verify database for doing this ? Can some help me out on this ?
Thanks,
Prathima

Hi Prathima,
Are you using the "Preview Sample" option to refresh the report? That's the only option that prompts you to bring back all the records or the 1st 100 records.
Use the"Refresh" icon instead or hit hit F5 button on your keyboard to refresh the report and you should be prompted to enter parameter values.

SAP Crystal Report (2008) through SQL Query parameters

Hi,
I Created a report in Crystal report (2008) based on Sql Query. I created parameters in SQL query prompt only (all single valued).
Based on this I need to show the data in detail section.
For Graph, I used another SQL query, and added one subreport to the Main report header section. Since this subreport is also using the SQL query prompts for taking parameters.
Since both the reports are using same set of parameters. I mapped Main report parameters to sub-report parameters.
So Now structure is like,
In a report there is one subreport.
Main report ....SQL query generates parameter prompt..same parameters is passed to subreport.
In subreport there are sql generated prompts. and we mapped that prompts to main report parameter prompts.
Now it is running fine from crystal report, but not from CMC. It is not showing the graph.
Made Two Experiment:
1. To check subreport is running or not , Mannualy put my name in sub report--working fine.(CMC)
2. To check the parameters are correctly mapped--printed the value in subreport--Showing all the parameters value from CMC
but it is not running the SQL query of that sub report.
Any suggestion ?? Or is there anyoption to check?? Or a CMC setting.
Please suggest and respond..
Thank you in advance.!!

Hi Rajeev,
This is Crystal reports development community, you said the report is working fine in Crystal. it is problem in CMC. So the issue is at BI Server.
So i think you need to create the thread in the below community.

Crystal Reports 2008 Stored Procedure and Parameters from LOVs

Quite simple report using stored procedure as data source. When editing some of the parameters we get this error when clicking OK to close "This stored procedure parameter can only accept multiple values. Please ensure that Allow Multiple Values is true."
As we all know stored procedure parameters do not access multiple values at all, so this message is very hard to debug. The report does work if we set the 'Allow Multiple Values' to true, but only when using exactly one value for the parameter. We have tried verify database and other things, but cannot find any way around this issue.
All ideas are appreciated as this is stopping us from utilizing the dynamic parameters.
Thanks, Stig

We managed to work around the issue by creating a new stored procedure. First we used the same parameter names and changed the data source to the new stored procedure. After renaming the parameter with the issue the problem then was resolved.
Note that another parameter that was earlier affected by this issue in the way that it could not be edited and saved due to the same error message now also works fine. This even if this parameter has not changed names.
Quite a complex situation to debug this. Maybe if the source of the error message is found in the code we could help testing.

Out of Memory issue in crystal report 2008 SP1

Hi ALL,
I am facing serious issue in crystal report 2008 SP1.
When i am click the page setup in crystal report 2008 ,it is prompting like "Out of Memory".
Because of this i am not able to see the default printer in the page setup.
Please give the suggestions to resolve this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Vinay

Hi Ed,
What printer are you using as your default printer?
What happens if you change your default printer to Microsofts generic print driver? Only as a test to remove the printer being the cause.
Also, Go into Page Setup and check on Dissociate Printer..... and see if that fixes the issue.
Also, include all your OS version and patch level, Status of DEP, anti-virus turned off ( disconnect from your network while doing this test ) and Windows Firewall or any third party firewall and close all other software running.
Thanks again

Crystal Reports 2008 crashes when previewing image with graphic location

Hi,
I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 for SAP Business One. When I try to insert an image with a UNC graphic location (browse to a UNC drive for image) and I preview, Crystal Reports crashes with the following debug info:

Any idea why? If I trun graphic location off, it works fine.
The code I'm using to pull image is:
sapserver\B1_SHR\Bitmaps\Versailles\" & {RSM_Inventory_Images;1.PicturName}
Thanks.

Through Startu2014Run are you able to view the image by choosing the following path ?
sapserver\B1_SHR\Bitmaps\Versailles\" & {RSM_Inventory_Images;1.PicturName}
Also try to insert any image which is on your local hard drive and try. I think this is because, CR is unable to access the images which are on UNC.

Bapi Function call from Crystal reports 2008. import parameters syntax.

Dear,
I have an issue with calling a function directly from Crystal reports (2008) in the R3 system.
(if this belongs in another thread , please add the link if moved !)
I try to get data through function "BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS".
Till now all possible input parameters have no data-result.
I already read other threads stating that 'for example' the Language key needs to be provided in a single character. 'E' in stead of 'EN'.
I also already created a Z-wrap-function that fills out all input parameters 'hardcoded'. This works.
clearly there are som syntax changes in passing the values to R3 when called from Crystal Reports.
Can someone state which syntax has to be followed for numeric fields, for datefields etc. (so when i make these dynamical, I know which syntax should be the outcome of the formula)
in my function that doesn't work I use these selections:
(this function is called in a standard report only calling this function)
{BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS_1.I_LANGU_ISO} = "E" and
{BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS_1.I_LANGU_INT} = "E" and
{BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS_1.T_CLASS_OBJECTS.OBJECT_TYPE} = "MARA" and
{BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS_1.T_CLASS_OBJECTS.OBJECT_KEY} = "000000000000000085" and
{BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS_1.I_CLASSNUM} = "DSWTEST" and
{BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS_1.I_CLASSTYPE} = "001" and
{BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS_1.I_KEY_DATE} = Date (2011, 08, 05)
I already tried other languages or the 'EN' as input.
(I would like to know how the date is passed exaclty to R3.)
The function is of course RFC enabled.
when I call the my Z-function with predefined inputparameters in R3 it does give the wanted result.
FUNCTION ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.
""Local Interface:
*" TABLES
*"      OBJECT_CLASSIFICATION STRUCTURE BAPI_OBJECT_VALUES
*"      CLASS_OBJECTS STRUCTURE BAPI_CLASS_OBJECTS
data ZOBJECT_CLASSIFICATION type TABLE OF BAPI_OBJECT_VALUES.
data ZCLASS_OBJECTS type TABLE OF BAPI_CLASS_OBJECTS WITH HEADER LINE.
ZCLASS_OBJECTS-OBJECT_KEY = '000000000000000085'.
ZCLASS_OBJECTS-OBJECT_TYPE = 'MARA'.
Append ZCLASS_OBJECTS.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATIONS'

    CLASS_OBJECTS                = ZCLASS_OBJECTS
OBJECT_CLASSIFICATION[] = ZOBJECT_CLASSIFICATION[].
ENDFUNCTION.
please advise.
once again if this should be moved to another forum , add the link please!

Dear,
I just debugged my Z-function, after adding all input parameters as in the standard BAPI function.
All parameters seems to be passed correctly except from the table parameters from
CLASS_OBJECTS
So all I_parameters are passed :
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.I_LANGU_INT} = "EN" and
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.I_LANGU_ISO} = "EN" and
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.I_KEY_DATE} = Date (2011, 08, 05) and
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.I_CLASSNUM} = "DSWTEST" and
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.I_CLASSTYPE} = "001" and
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.I_CHARACTS_OF_CLASS_ONLY.BAPIFLAG} = ""
but the table parameters aren't coming through:
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.T_CLASS_OBJECTS.OBJECT_TYPE} = "MARA" and
{ZBAPI_CLASS_GET_CLASSIFICATION.T_CLASS_OBJECTS.OBJECT_KEY} = "000000000000000085" and
these are 'blanco' in the function.
also after the function is executed and all data is retrieved, when passing the data back to Crystal reports, once again, the table result isn't passed to Crystal Reports.
please advise

Crystal Reports 2008 - dynamic parameters not returing all data

I am having the same issue with Crystal Reports 2008. Only returning 135 customers in a dynamic paramaters when the list should be 3288.
When I re-create the parameter by using a command instead of relying on Crystal to return the data from the db table Crystal returns only 5"pages" of customers to select from.
I have tried to run the report with this reduced selection & it then crashes.
Any ideas??

This article may help you to increase the number of values in the parameter
KBase Article ID:c2017238
Article refers to: Crystal Reports XI BusinessObjects Enterprise XI
Symptom
For performance reasons, in Crystal Reports XI Release 1 and Release 2 the maximum number of values that are returned for a list of values is set to 1000. If you have a cascading List of Values (for example Country > Region > City), the lowest level (in this case City) will only display a maximum of 1000 values. This means that the higher-level prompts may display far fewer values than you expect. The list of values provides the data for the dynamic parameter list.
How can you modify the maximum number of values available in a dynamic parameter list?
Resolution
To increase the maximum number of values available in a dynamic parameter list, you must add a registry key.
CAUTION     The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys and Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat on Win9x computers) before you edit the registry.
Crystal Reports XI Release 1
1.     Create a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV.
NOTE     Alternatively, you can create the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV and that key will override the settings of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV key.
2.     Add a string value "MaxRowsetRecords" and set the value to the maximum number of values that you desire for your report. For example, a value of 2000 will return up to 2000 values in the lowest level of a cascading parameter. NOTE: The value 0 (Unlimited) will not work with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI, you must specify another value.
NOTE     The higher the number of values is, the longer it will take the Enter Values dialog box to populate with values.
3.      After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.
Crystal Reports XI Release 2
1.     Create a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV.
NOTE     Alternatively, you can create the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV and that key will override the settings of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV key.
2.     Add a string value "MaxRowsetRecords" and set the value to the maximum number of values that you desire for your report. For example, a value of 2000 will return up to 2000 values in the lowest level of a cascading parameter.
NOTE     The value 0 (Unlimited) will not work with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI, you must specify another value.
3.     After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.

Failed to retrieve data from the database crystal reports 2008 in SAP B1

Hello friends,
I am using Crystal report 2008 with SAP B1 PL 8.8. When I run any report, it runs correctly from Crystal Report. But whenever I try to open the same report through SAP ( Tools -> Preview External Crystal Report ), it prompts the parameters for that report and then open up the crystal report window and throws an Error message ("failed to retrieve data from the database. Details [Database Vendor Code: 156]").
Please any one suggest me the corrective solution.
Thanks in Advance,
Keyur Raval.

I had the same problem in SAP B1 2007. Report worked fine except when it was open from B1. Generally there may be different problems. In my case the same problem was caused by using some procedure which was in a specific schema. Changing the schema into "dbo" solved the problem.

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.

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.

Crystal Report 2008 results "Password did not match error" in SQL Server Log

Hi,
I am trying to develop some crystal reports using Crystal Report 2008 SP4 to connect to SQL server 2008 through RDO (ODBC). My problem is that anytime Crystal Report is trying to establish a connection with SQL Server, first it tries to connect with the wrong password and results the following error message in SQL Server log:
Login failed for user 'peyman'. Reason: Password did not match that for the login provided. [CLIENT: 192.168.2.198]
The login name 'peyman' is the right one as I have quoted the same in setting up ODBC System DSN using "SQL Server Native Client 10". But somehow Crystal Report is taking its chance and trying to connect before prompting me for the password. After this error logged to SQL server side, I can see Crystal Report pops up the prompt to enter DSN password. After supplying password to this prompt, Crystal Report works fine and pulls the data and renders the report without having any more incorrect password error logged to SQL Server.
The attached file shows the step I am taking to regenerate the issue. I need this to be fixed as anytime uses any of these reports and tries to render it with crystal runtime engine the same error message raises in SQL Server side and logged in the log file.
Thanks,

Hi Peyman,
This is the way it should work, In CR designer when you open the report it does nothing. As soon as you hit the Refresh button then CR tries to use the connection saved with the report. It assumes what is saved with the report is a valid server and connection info. CR simply tries to verify the server is still active.
If you don't want it to fail in CRD then before opening any report Click the File, Log on Database option and connect. Now when refreshing reports it won't log the failed.
In the SDK it does the same thing, it assumes the Server info is the same and does try to connect to verify the Server does exist. It only takes a few milli-seconds to do this
To stop this from happening set the log on info first then it won't log the attempt to connect, it's checking to see if Trusted is allowed.

Notice it doesn't try to connect first if I set the log on info first using code.
So nothing we can do to stop SQL server from logging this info. Check with the DBA, possibly they can "filter" out the application attempts to connect or change your work flow in the app.
If you have a Preview Button to view the report then simply add your Database log on info prompt there if Connectioninfo.Trusted is not true:
mainSecureDB = rpt.Database.Tables[tableIndex].LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity;
if mainSecureDB = false then prompt the user for log on info and set accordingly, if it is true the it should not fail when it connects.
This is simply a matter of changing your App work flow...
Thanks

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:

Fields in Stored Procedure does not appear in Crystal reports 2008.

hi,
I am now using crystal reports 2008 evaluation copy for 30 days. I am trying to create a stored procedure with parameter, here is my sample Stored Procedure code;
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `puerto`.`SP_FindEmployees`$$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` PROCEDURE `SP_FindEmployees`(SIDNo VARCHAR(10))
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE IDNo=SIDNo;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
when i try to call the procedure in sqlyog here is my sample code;
CALL sp_findemployees('0000000001')
it is successfull, but when i try to connect it with crystal reports 2008 I got no fields in my stored procedure andi got this error message ;
"Database Connector: 'HY00:[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.1.33-community]incorect number of arguments for procedure puerto.sp_findemployees; expected 1, got 0 [Database vendor code: 1318]"
CR2008 was not asking a parameter values.
But when I try using stored procedure that i've made in MSSQL, CR2008 asking parameters and succefully created the reports needed.
My Objective is to make a stored procedure in MySQL by using select statement and filter it with parameter(s) that I will pass and CR2008 will use this stored procedure.
i also try the view with this code below and it was successfull in CR2008.
DELIMITER $$
DROP VIEW IF EXISTS `puerto`.`ep_employees`$$
CREATE ALGORITHM=UNDEFINED DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` SQL SECURITY DEFINER VIEW `ep_employees` AS (SELECT `employees`.`IDNo` AS `IDNo`,`employees`.`FullName` AS `FullName` FROM `employees`)$$
DELIMITER ;

hi,
Crystal Reports 2008 and MySQL 5 , ODBC driver 3.5 and ODBC driver 5.1.
I use ODBC connector 3.5 because I got errors in ODBC drivers in 5.1.
Do you have step by step procedure for creating add command dialog box?
I try creating the add command dialog box
here's my sample sql statement i don't know if its correct because no data appearing in my crystal report
Select * from employees where idno=@IDNo
in Command Parameter Dialog Box
Parameter Name = @IDNo
Prompting Text = @IDNo
Value Type = String
DefaultValue = 0
thanks!

Report containing 15 sub reports crashing - Crystal Reports 2008

I am using Crystal report 2008 with all latest service packs applied. I have more then 20 different reports wich work absolutely fine and never crash. One of my report contains 15 sub reports since its bringing data from 15 different queries. This consistently keeps crashing everytime I try to run it. Not sure what could be the root cause.
We are using Postgres database and connected to it with ODBC connection using Microsoft DSN.
- All Subreport data is being displayed on Report Footer
- All subreports are included in the Main report page header section. (I have also tried doing it on report footer section but it still crashes)
I have tried searching through the forum and did not find similar issue resolutions. Did someone face similar problems before?
The crash message is:
"crw32.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry of the inconvenience."
Error report contains this data:
AppName: crw32.exe AppVer: 12.2.0.290 ModName: psqlodbc35w.dll
ModVer: 9.0.2.0 Offset: 0004c538
I am using Windows XP
Crystal Report Version Details:
CR Developer Version 12.2.0.290
Product Type: Full
Let me know how can I debug this issue? Any help is appreciated.

@Don - We performed extensive testing for this crash issue and found that now this crash is not happening only in one scenario. So we have partially fixed this.
Now the report crashes if I get disconnected from database and reconnect. This is what happens
1. open the report in crystal report 2008
2. try to run the report when db is connected- it works fine.
3. Now disconnect the database (we are using ssh tunnel to connect to db so we just close the tunnel)
4. now try to refresh the report - it fails to retrieve data.
5. Now close the report without saving it.
6. Now Close Crystal Report.
7. Now Connect the DB using ssh tunnel so crystal report can connect.
8. Now open Crystal Report
9. Launch the target report.
10 Preview the report - it works for first time.
11. Now do a refresh keeping same parameters - Report crashes here.
- I tried these steps with some of my other reports and they do not crash.
- Now I have only one report which contains a Postgres Query with date range,order by and a union join.
- No subreports now - I am trying to run this one subreport as a standalone report which I created from scratch(using blank report wizard) and just copied the query.
Any more pointers would help.
