Crystal Reports Design Documentation

Does anyone have a good MS Word template for documenting a Crystal Report design?

Who keeps reinventing the wheel with each contract but can never settle on a good layout...

Before or after the report is done?? 
Either way, I'd start with a brief description of the purpose of the report and a "management overview" level of the data shown.  I'd then follow it with a page of the report (if it's complete).  Following that, the source of the data, followed by calculations performed whose results are not shown, followed by a list of the columns the report has with complete descriptions, followed by grouping and subtotals, followed by parameters with a complete description of each, followed by non-parameterized record and/or group selection, followed by any other special information (hiding columns conditionally, whatever...).  Obviously, the order of the sections might flow better if rearranged... or not...

  • How to register/configure a Data Provider with Crystal Report Designer

    Hi,
    Iu2019m in the process of developing an ADO .Net XML Data Provider which works with Data Sets. I want to use this custom Data Provider through Crystal Report Designer 2008 so that I can access it from the u201CStandard Report Creation Wizard\Available Data Sourcesu201D section. How can I do this? I read the following in the u201Ccreating custom adddins.docu201D documentation.
    u201CCrystal Reports (CR) 2008 installs a new managed dll called DotNetExternalCommandAdapter.DLL and installs it into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC).  CR 2008 uses this dll to search and load files with a csc prefix in CR 2008u2019s AddIns subdirectory in a similar way it looks for database drivers, export drivers and UFLs. To create an Add-In the developer needs to reference this dll and inherit two classes from it, ICommand and ICommandDLL.u201D
    I have the following questions,
    1) As it mentions above how can I make Crystal find my custom Data Provider when it searches for the database drivers?
    2) Is there another class I can inherit from when creating my custom data provider? If so where can I find some documentation regarding this?
    3) Can I register my custom data provider in to the GAC and will Crystal find it if so how can I register my custom Data Provider? Will GACUtil work for Crystal as well?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Regards,
    Chanaka

    Baron, thank you for providing that link.
    Chanaka see if that article helps you out. It should - had I got to this thread earlier, I'd have sent that link also. Certainly DE place to start.

  • Viewing Report created in Crystal Report Designer

    <p>Hi,</p><p>I&#39;m new to CR4E and tries to work with existing report. I saw many error while trying this, please excuse me to the long email below that I explain all the errors I saw......</p><p>I have some reports that were created in Crystal Report Designer (CR XI Release 2) connecting to the Oracle Database using "Oracle Server" type connection. How can I access it from CR4E? I have the following problem (in the order I see them)</p><p>1) In the Eclipse&#39;s JSP page, I specified the full path to the report, but I get a report not found error. Must the report locate within the project? Is there any way we can open a report outside of the project?</p><p>2) I copied the report to the project, </p><p>    a) followed jrc_print_report example to print the report, get "JNDI name not found" error. </p><p>    b) then generate a viewer page, but I get the Driver "crdb_oracle.dll" is not supported error.</p><p>3) I setup the new JNDI followed the jrc_changedatasource.jsp example to change the datasource, but I still get the "JNDI name not found" error.</p><p>4) I imported the report intoEclipse and changed the connection. Then I can create a jsp page to print it to a printer (I still can&#39;t view it, but my goal is to print, so that&#39;s ok). However, </p><p>    a) the original report has a "Command" object from the Oracle database to control where to select the report&#39;s data, when I remap, this object disappear and I cannot see how to recreate it. Any suggestion?</p><p>    b) also, the report is very complex with many subreports and it will be nightmare to go in and change all of the datasource, also a maintenance nightmare to maintain two copies. Any better suggestions?</p><p>Thank you very much! Your help is very appreciated.</p><p>Celia</p>

    Hi Celia
    1. Yes the Java Reporting Component (JRC) which is the runtime component of the Crystal Reports for Eclipse can open reports outside the project.  Its often better to have the reports inside the project for deployment purposes but you are welcome to put the report where ever you need it.Â
    Note: To use absolute paths, ensure that the CRConfig.xml file does not contain a reportlocation tag.
    2. The JRC can't report off of Oracle directly, you would need to use a JDBC driver to connect your reports to Oracle. The crdb_oracle.dll will never connect because its not Java.Â
    3. When the JRC finds that the report is not using a supported database driver it will do a lookup to find the name of the report datasource. When it finds the datasource name it will then do a JNDI lookup for a JDBC datasource with the same name. If your Application server doesn't have a datasource with that name it will through the error you were seeing.Â
    4. I'm not sure about losing the Command object when changing the datasource but this is probably happening because the Command is linked to the database driver.
    5. What you could try doing is creating a JDBC Datasource on your application server where this app will run with a JNDI name that matches your report datasource name. If your reports datasource name is "MyOracleDatasource" then I believe the JNDI name for new JDBC Datasource would have to be "jdbc/MyOracleDatasource".
    You could give this a try.

  • How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

    Hi,
    Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Sourashree,
    Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
    1.     New Report
    2.     From Create New Connection-> XML
    3.     Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
    4.     Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D  -> Finish
    Then I can see the following under XML
    + CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
            CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
    And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
    Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
    For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

    We need to Export report to Text like Crystal Report Designer Export using JRC. Is this possible? I see export ReportExportFormat CSV, PDF and RTF only. These exports are working, But I need plain text that looks like Text export of Crystal Reports Designer. I see this working in RAS 2008. What I can do to get this with JRC. I am using Crystal Reports 2008 to design reports.
    Thanks for any help.
    Regards
    Raveendra
    Clarification

    Thank you Jitin.
    What could be solution to this problem?
    If still I want to go with JRC, Can I write some Java code to perform this export?
    I see TextExportFormatOptions and its not working.
    If I want to export automatically to text format, what other choices are there?
    Basically I need to execute report and generate text file automatically. Text file should look like Crystal Report Designer Exported Text file.
    Thank you for your time.

  • Writing and including our own customer data source to Crystal Report Design

    Hi,
    I need to create a Crystal Report based on a locally stored XML and schema. I can do this but the issue Iu2019m facing is that some tags used in the schema and the format is not supported by Crystal. So my plan is to write a database driver which will take our format and then convert it to the format Crystal supports and vise versa. To do this before writing the driver I need to know if itu2019s possible to include my custom database driver source in to the list that is shown in the Crystal Report Designer when selecting a data source to create a report.  Is there such an API available so that I can plugin my data source to Crystal Report Designer? Is this at least possible to do or is there another way?
    Hope you can help me.
    Thanks you in advance.
    Regards,
    Chanaka

    Hi Chanaka,
    Not directly. If you base your driver on OLD DB or ODBC then it will show up in those lists.
    If you are planning on selling a lot of packages then you may want to contact our OEM Sales team and sign up. You'll have more resources to do customized features like this. Not sure if we can but the option is there.
    Thank you

  • How to publish crystal report designed using SAP Add-on toolbar

    we have installed the crystal report designer V10 and the SAP add-on on the desktop.
    we have designed a formatted report in crystal report designer using an existing BW report that was created using Bex query designer. After this we saved the crystal report back in BW to a role.
    We have not published the report to crystal enterprise server, since the connection to same is not in place.
    We would like to know how to publish this report in Enterprise portal ?
    Can we bypass publishing the report to crystal enterprise server and publish the report on browser or through EP ?

    I totally agree with Alex.
    With over 11,600 threads this forum is really "heavy".
    A few more categories would reduce the efford for searching and rise the effectiveness.
    This applies to a few more categories by the way.
    Nevertheless I'm also happy about the quit good support in this board.

  • Use of Grid in crystal report designer

    Hello,
    I have a simple question in regards to data grid in crystal report designer. Crystal report designer has a capability to show grid in both design and preview mode, can we make use of any other grid in crystal, how can I make my report look more professional like the text box alignment and placed objects based on using grids?

    I am confused as to what you are asking.  You can align text boxes and lines/linear boxes using the grid in the report design tool just like other report objects.  You can achieve some very crisp looking report designs this way.  There are also tools available when you right-click one or more objects to size and/or align those objects within the page.

    Who notes you can also change the spacing between guidelines and grid points to provide more control over layout...

  • SAP Crystal Report Designer

    Hi
    Does SAP Crystal Report Designer ( which is used to design reports , where these reports can be used in WPF Crystal Report Viewer , WinForms Crystal Report Viewer has Localization support) ,  has localization support , can we generate custom language assemblies and bind to Report Designer?

    What version of CR Designer?
    Have you consulted your CR Designer Help files? I suspect searching the help file for "localization" will give you quite a bit of informatoin. Also, don't forget to use the search box in the top right corner of this web page.

  • Re: Message from Crystal Reports Design forum moderators

    If you, the moderator, feel some post is inappropriate in some manner, could you perhaps provide feedback to the individual concerned.  Lecturing the entire community with broad references to "abuse" leaves us with nothing but insecurity and uncertainty as to whether we have sinned, or whether our submission was in fact entirely appropriate.
    In addition, perhaps you could post an explanation of the purpose of the forums, as I have obviously misunderstood same. I thought this was meant to be SAP's replacement for technical support, (which was eliminated.)  As such, surely abusing people for asking for help is inappropriate.  (Just because you consider the question posed as stupid or trivial, it likely wasn't such from the perspective of the questioner.)

    Thank you for your question, David,
    I have branched your posting to a separate thread as the initial note is not designed for discussions.
    Let me try to answer your questions and resolve at least some misunderstandings.
    This forum is not exactly u201CSAPu2019s replacement for technical supportu201D as this Business Objects forum existed before, and just migrated to SAP platform in June 2008.
    What Business Objects an SAP company eliminated is free, e-mail only, u201CAssistu201D support, and there were many reasons including corporate and technical.
    Former u201CAssistu201D support customers were recommended to use this forum as it already has a huge volume of existing solutions and it is more effective to post a solution once on the forum instead of copying and pasting to several logged incidents.
    It is a Community Forum u2013 not a Tech. Support Forum and designed to share and to accumulate Business Objects useru2019s knowledge and experience.
    As a part of migration we anticipated an increased volume on the forum and our engineers were asked to help the Forum Community to resolve their problems answering some of the questions, but please note it is not a part of engineeru2019s responsibilities. It is on volunteer basis - the same as mine, the moderatoru2019s role. One of our goals is to make our products better and this forum certainly helps.
    About the reasons of this moderatoru2019s u201Csticky notesu201D: I am sorry if you or other users feel u201Cinsecureu201D or u201Cuncertainu201D, I did not mean it. I posted this note just as a reminder to follow the rules, make sure the question is posted in the right category and where to search for an existing solution.

  • Embeddable Crystal Reports Designer Control and Visual FoxPro

    Post Author: PaulBtci
    CA Forum: Other
    Hello everyone, I have a problem adding CRXI Embeddable Crystal Reports Designer Control in the run-time. When the following line is being executed, an "Insert Object" dialog pops up. ThisForm.AddObject( "oleDesigner", "olecontrol", "CrystalReports.EmbeddableCrystalReportsDesignerCtrl" ) The control, however, is available in the list, and when selected is added to the form. The above problem does not exist when I add ActiveX ReportViewer. Can anyone help me with this issue? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Paul

    Good morning,
    I am using  "Embeddable Crystal Reports Designer Control"  Crystal Report 11 with Visual Basic 6.0.
    There is some way for disable the tab "preview the main report"? THis is including in "Embeddable Crystal Reports Designer Control"
    or
    There is some way for update the tab "preview the main report" loaded after other report? Because, the preview is not refresh.
    Thanks
    Buenos días,
    Les comento, estoy utilizando el control "Embeddable Crystal Reports Designer Control" (CRDesignerCtrl11_5) del Crystal Report 11 en un proyecto de Visual Basic 6.0
    Cuando cargo un reporte dos veces, se presenta la "vista previa de informe principal".  Sin embargo cuando vuelvo a cargar otro reporte no se actualiza la "vista previa de informe principal" sino que se queda con la información cargada anteriormente.
    Quisiera saber si existe una forma de acceder al control para actualizar la "vista previa de informe principal", ya que a pesar de dar clic derecho y elegir actualizar no toma los datos del nuevo reporte cargado.
    Y si es posible en todo caso desabilitar la "vista previa de informe principal" o hacerlo invisible para que únicamente se presente la pestaña de "Informe Principal".
    De antemano agradezco su ayuda.

  • Use dotx template as Crystal Report design template

    Hi,
    i have dotx (ms word with header and footer) files. how can i use it as template file for the crystal report design ?
    anyway i can do this ?  or any way i can use the dotx template files as background in my crystal report ?
    i google alot but look like no way to link the dotx (ms word) to crystal report..

    hi Jiann Neow,
    you can't use a dotx as a template in any automated way to create report files.
    you can add them as a background though by going to Insert > OLE Object and adding them via OLE. please note though this is only good for 1 page objects.
