Do you see a 19 or 23 digit alpha-numeric keycode in the email you received? If so, that's your keycode. If not, let us know and we'll see if we can find out who you can contact to receive your keycode.

Consultant "Registration code not sent for Crystal Reports Basic for VS2003

I need to know how to receive a CR registration code for VS2003.
In VS2003 when I open a Crystal Report, Iu2019m asked for a registration code. So I registered at the SAP website for the CR Basic for VS2003 license, but all I received was an email below. So where is my registration code for this? Where can I get one so I can stop the nag screen.

How to create a first row in crystal report as opening balance which contains two columns with debit and credit

I have created a crystal report with credit and debit column. Balance column created on the report. Report running with cummulative balance. THis report contain an option for date range. If i filtered this report its not showing the actual balance. I need
a first row to indicate previous balance as opening balance in this report. And following is the formula for balance column.
Whileprintingrecords;
Shared Numbervar balance;
Shared Numbervar display;
balance:={@debit}-{@credit};
display:=display+balance;
display

As this question is out of the T-SQL queue, thus I would suggest you consult Crystal Report questions to the correct forums.

Crystal Reports "Report Application Server"

Does anyone have any experience with Crystal Reports' Report Application Server (RAS)?
The provided documentation is very thin and support are taking an age to respond.
I want to use a Bean as a data source for a report. The blurb says you can do this, but the only documented way I can find is for the bean to return a ResultSet, completely missing the point of using a bean or EJB in the first place.
Now, Seagate's sales blurb states that Beans and EJBs can be used as data sources, but if the only way to do this is to return a common or garden ResultSet, what's the point of the bean???
So, has anyone sucessfully used a bean or EJB as a data source for report generation under RAS, or merely CR in general, without resorting to a ResultSet??

Crystal Reports YUK!! especially in Java Forum!Tell me about it!!
But, like many developers, I don't get a choice. I have to use CR, and I have to integrate it into a Tomcat (4.1.24) based app. There is a Java API for RAS, but it is a pile of dung. Can you imagine publishing an API with public methods with 'do not use, for internal use only' plastered all over them!!!
But still, back to the original question, I have to find a way of doing this, but Seagate's javadocs are a mess, as are the howto docs. All of the examples, as you might expect, are childishly simple and don't give any insight into the large and hideous API :(
Here is an example of a CR howto.....
There appear to be two ways of creating a data source that isn't an existing report or a database query. This
Runtime data sources
One of the strengths of RAS over the Crystal Reports application, is that the RAS
can use data generated programatically at runtime. With a runtime data source,
you can take data from any source�such as a database, a data stream, or a flat
file�manipulate it with the programming language of your choice, and display it
with RAS.
To use a runtime data source
1 Put your manipulated data in a rowset form that can be processed by the RAS.
Consult the Rowset object and interface in the SDK JavaDocs, for details on
creating rowsets.
2 Create and fill the Dataset object with the rowset data.
3 Create a RowsetController object.
4 Add or set the data source using the RowsetController�s AddDataSource or
SetDataSource methods respectively.
The runtime data source is now available for use.
Note: If you create a report based on a data set, the data that is used is not saved
with the report. To populate the report with data the next time you open it, you
must either re-apply the data source to see current data, or access a saved version
of the data source for preview.
All well and good, but RowsetController doesn't have an AddDataSource or SetDataSource method!!!!
and this......
JavaBean custom data sources
You can use a JavaBean (or a Java class that does not extend the bean type) in order
to specify a custom data source. In order to do this, you will need to:
� Creating a Java class that specifies a custom data source
� Referencing a java class to provide data for a report
Creating a Java class that specifies a custom data source
To use a JavaBean (or a Java class that does not extend the bean type) in order to
specify a custom data source, you will need to create a class that serves as a Java
Beans Connectivity data source for creating Crystal Reports.
This class will need to conforms to the JavaBean standard by defining private
properties that are accessible only through get and set methods. In this way the
Crystal Reports designer can introspect the class as a Bean. The JavaBean
connectivity classes require the following.
� The constructor must have zero parameters.
� Methods that are used as "tables" must have a return type of ResultSet.
� Statement objects must be created using the
ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE and ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY
arguments.
Note: Methods returning ResultSet can take arguments, these are treated as
Stored Procedure parameters by Crystal Reports.
Now, what the hell is the point of going to the trouble of abstracting your business data into a bean or EJB, if that bean has to return a ResultSet for Crystal Reports to use??!!

The duplex issue in the Crystal report

I am developing Purchase Order print document. I have a Crystal Reports 9 for Visual Studio .NET. My program prints set of the P/Os and each of metioned P/O has its own Terms and Condition Information.(one-two pages of text information saved in Memo field). My crystal report's structure is following: Group1 Header: unique PO number; group header is printing on each page, it is only suppressed if the Terms and Condition Information is printed Details a: Some client information; Details b: Details for PO, for example Ship information; Details c: Subreport with Detail lines for PO; ... Details l: Summary amount Information for whole PO; Details k: Terms and Condition Information; it is printed on separate page Grout 1 Footer; there is a signature line for PO Could you please advise me if it possible and how to print Terms and Condition Information (Details k part) on each even page? Or maybe I need change structure of report? For example, I have PO that takes 3 pages and Terms and Condition Information takes 1 page. So, I would like to have report with 6 pages wit 3 duplex pages: 1: PO page 1; Terms and Condition 2: PO - continue page 2; Terms and Condition 3: PO - continue page 3; Terms and Condition 

Conditionially suppress the section usingÂ Remainder(PageNumber,2) = 1.Â That should suppress it for odd pages.Â If it doesn't, try the opposite.Â :)Â Make sure the section is at the same level as your PO grouping as we will need to have it repeat with each PO.

Invalid Key code Error while installing crystal report server 11

While installing crystal report server 11,i am facing an erro which says Invalid Key code Error.I had raised this issue to SAP customer support and attaching the conversation that we had.PLEASE HELP me to resolve the issue.
MAILS--Dear Mohit,
Thanks for the patience.
We have received the below update from the Licensing Team.
You received your permanent key in respect of these licenses - the key is for Crystal Reports Server XI.
You did not purchase these licenses for Crystal Reports Server, but purchased it for Crystal Reports and a 5-named user license for Crystal Reports was included as a special offer. The software included was version XIR2, but you elected to use version XI instead and received key .
You would need to enroll the licenses in maintenance if you want to upgrade them.
In case of any queries please create a ticket via the Service Market Place.

We have bought licensed Crystal Reports Server 11 near by 2006.We are trying to install the crystal server but while installing ,we have encountered with an error message that:-
"The product key code you have entered is incorrect"
We are facing the same issue in 2006,I am attaching with this email the conversations that was held in 2006 to get the correct key code.
Please help us to resolve the issue as early as possible.
My contact number:
If you need any further information do let me know

Ajit,
By design, the product is not able to be installed under the superuser account.
1. Create a new user and specify a home directory for the user without a quota set.
2. Copy or move the installation files to a directory that the new user can read. I suggest you move the installation files directly into the new user's home directory.
3. Logon as the new user (or su - newuser)
4. run the installation shell script using that new user's account.
NOTE: Ensure the system meets the requirements from the supported platforms documents.

I moved your post to the .NET - SAP Crystal Reports forum.
You are not passing anything to the subreport. I htink as it is, you're kinda hoping that somehow the subreport will know what dataset it is supposed to use. There is a couple of ways you can call the subreport and than pass the dataset to it. If you know the name of the subreport:
Dim crSubreportObject As SubreportObject
Dim crSubreportDocument As ReportDocument
crSubreportDocument = crSubreportObject.OpenSubreport("XXX")
crSubreportDocument.SetDataSource(myLookUpData)
or if you do not know the name of the subreport (a more extensible way I suppose you can loop through all the sections of the report looking for the subreport;
Dim crSections As Sections
Dim crSection As Section
Dim crSubreportObject As SubreportObject
'set the crSections object to the current report's sections
crSections = crReportDocument.ReportDefinition.Sections
'loop through all the sections to find all the report objects
For Each crSection In crSections
crReportObjects = crSection.ReportObjects
'loop through all the report objects to find all the subreports
For Each crReportObject In crReportObjects
If crReportObject.Kind = ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject Then
'you will need to typecast the reportobject to a subreport
'object once you find it
crSubreportObject = CType(crReportObject, SubreportObject)
'open the subreport object
crSubreportDocument = crSubreportObject.OpenSubreport(crSubreportObject.SubreportName)
'set the database and tables objects to work with the subreport
<your .SetDataSource code here>
Next
End If
Next
In all of this, don't forget to consult your developer help file. Looking at the samples [here|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/NETRASSDK+Samples] will also be a good idea.

We use crystal9 and oracle9i.We have date field in a table and some field values are Null(But in a report Null value shows some date value by default)So I want to create formula for those null date vaule such that null value comes to report as blank space.Like if(date field IsNULL) then date=' ' else date field.If anybody have a idea how to do this just send me that formula at my email id <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> Thanks

Crystal report (crystalReportsViewer) crash with null pointer exception

Hi,
My application are simple : m_crystalReportsViewer.ViewerCore.ReportSource = report; but in throw exception null pointer when I call showDialog.
I see in code, we have method ShowTabHeader.

 TabPanel panel = child.FindName("HeaderPanel") as TabPanel;
 if (!isShow)
 panel.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
 else
 panel.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
My problem : child.FindName("HeaderPanel") as TabPanel return null
=> if (!isShow)
 panel.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
 else
 panel.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
throws null pointer exception.
Do you have any idea about this?

A lot I don't understand in here... actually, I don't understand anything in your post:
When you call ShowDialog, what exactly are you trying to show? The code is the decompiled showtabheader method of the viewer. So, are you trying to override the viewer control and reportalbum? My guess is that the null reference is for the reportalbum's child object which is not the reportalbum object of the viewer. I don't understand why the code since its all handled internally to the viewer anyhow.
Perhaps searching the forum for code sample will help?
Also, see the [WPF Demo|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/elearn?rid=/library/uuid/a09f7025-0629-2d10-d7ae-df006a51d1a8]

Using crystal reports to generate invoices

Post Author: samme
CA Forum: General
I'm writing a report for a client who wants to print multiple invoices using crystal reports. The invoice needs to sort in date order, one date and information associated with that date on each page. Each page has a subtotal since multiple items/services are linked ot one date. The last page of the invoice needs to have the total and should at the bottom of the page with the last subtotal. Not onlastrecord does not work because if the user prints multiple invoices, crystal doesn't see the "last record" until the last record of the last invoice.
The client wants the normal invoice information on the first page of the invoice: Company Logo, Customer Address, Company Info, Invoice #, Date, etc. as well as the column headers - quantity, unit of measure, price, etc.
On all other pages of the invoice, the client wants, the company logo, the invoice # and the column headers.
I have the report grouped by invoice number and then by a date formula. I cannot seem to get where I need to be with this invoice and have been working on it for some time. Can anyone give me some direction please.....
Thanks in advance!

The CIM schema is I agree Cr** (well not easy) and without the detail
that
Novell provide it doesn't work.
I hope that a friend of mine is going to provide the compromise that
you and I
are looking for. Namely the ability to create the SQL queries that
ART can
make, with a simple report system. Keep an eye on caledonia.net for
an
announcement for ART4 (Derived from but unrelated to Salford
Software's
product) :-)

How to change the name of a Box Object in Crystal Reports 2008

I am trying to change the name of a box object in a crystal report - 2008. This report was originally developed by consultants and requires that certain boxes be named according to a specific naming convention. I am making a change to the report and need to add a box with a name that matches the naming convention. This is so some program functionality will work for the new box. I can't contact the consultants because they don't work with our company anymore.
Does anybody have any ideas? I've tried 'Format Box', but it won't let me change the name from there. I also tried it in the Report Explorer but to no avail.
Thanks,
Joanne

Hi Joanne,
Boxes do not actually have a 'name'. When you add a Box in a report, it will be called 'Box 1' by default. And the only place this name is visible is under the Report Explorer.
Or do you mean to say 'Text Object'?

How to hide the preview section in the crystal report viewer activex cntrl.

Dear All,
I am using the Crystal report viewer ActiveX to display the Crystal report. When the report opens in the Crystal report viewer ActiveX control, a preview section comes at the left hand side of the panel. How can I hide the preview section from the Report viewer control.Is it possible to customize the the report viewer control. Awaiting for your suggestions.
Thank you.
Regards,
Rahaneef

Just to get the terminology correct. I believe you are meaning the Group Tree(?).
Vb Code:
CrystalActiveXReportViewer1.DisplayGroupTree = False.
Also, do consult the developer help file;

Extremely slow Crystal Reports environment

Hi there, I need help with my Crystal Reports environment, please!While developing a report I've noticed that everything is achieved with great slowness. Even right click menu shows up only after a couple of seconds. It takes more then that to select multiple objects and just simply drug them around a screen (depending on quantity of objects). I've observed also that CPU usage spikes to 100% and the process that contributes to that spike is crw32 (I have 1G RAM). Other developer's computer handles the same report with much greater speed (his computer has similar hardware specifications and has same installation of Crystal). Conventional remedies, like rebooting, defragmenting..., didn't result in much. It wasn't always like that.... ?????At least a hint on where to dig will be greatly appreciated :)Thanks in advance.Best regards. Nadya R.

That is really strange.Â I haven't seen that in the latest releases. In some of the older products there were some performance issues such as those but not recently.Â
This sounds like a support issue perhaps.Â Have you checked the Kbase?Â

How to add a field object to group header section in crystal report document?

Hi All, I have got two questions mentioned below, please share your inputs. 1)I want to know whether it is possible to add a field object to header section in crystal report document programmatically? I am using crystal runtime for visual studio. I know that using RAS we can do it, but I want to do it using managed library of crystal runtime. Please suggest. 2) I am doing a POC where I am using RAS (unmanaged library) to manipulated crystal report document. Please see code below: var dbTable = _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables[0]; var dbField = dbTable.DataFields.FindField(item.ColumnName, CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CrFieldDisplayNameTypeEnum.crFieldDisplayNameName, CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CeLocale.ceLocaleEnglishUS); CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject fieldObject = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject(); fieldObject.DataSourceName = dbField.Name; fieldObject.FieldValueType = dbField.Type; var groupHeaderArea = _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportDefinition.GroupHeaderArea[0].Sections[i]; _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.Add(fieldObject, groupHeaderArea); In above code last line throwing exception : "The report field type is not valid." at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportObjectControllerClass.Add(ISCRReportObject ReportObject, Section Section, Int32 nIndex) Thanks, Jai

Hi Jaikumar
As per the SCN Rules of engagement, one question per thread please.
Re. your 1st question. Adding a field to a report is considered to be a report creation APIs (RCAPI). Only the RAS SDK has RCAPIs, so you can not use plain jane crystal APIs. For how to with RAS, see the examples here: NET RAS SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
Also, consult the Developer Help Files:
Report Application Server .NET SDK Developer Guide
Report Application Server .NET API Guide
Re. your second question, please create a new discussion.
