Crystal Reports dynamic parameter does not work in InfoView

Hello,
We have developed Crystal Reports in CR2008 on top of SAP infoset and we have one of our selection parameter as dynamic parameter. It works fine in the CR Dev tool but when i upload the report in the InfoView, report does not show any value in the "Available Values"
Any input will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I did found the solution for this, i had to go into Business View Manger (BO Client Tools) and Schedule the LOV (List of Values). This is odd setting! but it works....

Crystal Report Viewer Print does not work for IE7

Post Author: ssdudeveloper
CA Forum: .NET
When I view a report in IE7, and click the Print button in the Crystal Reports Viewer toolbar, an empty dialog window opens and no print dialog appears. The print functionality works correctly when viewing the same report using an IE6 browser.
I have tried changing the browser security settings (as per http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/cs/forums/thread/3171.aspx) - with Automatic prompting for file downloads set to Enable, but this does not resolve my problem.
Is this a known compatability issue with IE7? Are there any workarounds/solutions to this?

We have a program written in VB6 and we are using Crystal Reports 8.5. The reports are fine on Windows XP but are not running on Vista and Windows 7. I found many people over the internet have this issue but none of them have gotten any resolution.
Any solution?

Why Dynamic Parameter is not working, when i create report using stored procedure ?

Post Author: Shashi Kant
CA Forum: General
Hi all
Why Dynamic Parameter is not working, when i create report XI using stored procedure ?
Only i shaw those parameters which i used in my stored procedure, the parameter which i create dynamic using stored procedure
is not shown to me when i referesh the report for viewing the results.
I have used the same procedure which i mention below but can not seen the last screen which is shown in this .
============================================================================================
1. Select View > Field Explorer2. Right-click on Parameter Fields and select New from the right-click menu.3. Enter u201CCustomer Nameu201D as the name for your parameter4. Under u201CList of Valuesu201D select u201CDynamicu201D5. Under the Value column, click where is says u201Cclick here to add itemu201D and select Customer Name from the drop-down list. The dialog shown now look like the one shown below in Figure 1. Click OK to return to your report design.
Dynamic Parameter Setup6. Next, select Report > Select Expert, select the Customer Name field and click OK.7. Using the drop-down list beside select u201CIs Equal Tou201D and using the drop-down list, select your parameter field (it should be the first field). 8. Click OK to return to your report design and see the parameter dialog.The parameter dialog will appear and show you a dynamic list of values that is updated each time your run your report. It couldnu2019t be easier! In our next tutorial, we will be looking at how to use this feature to create cascading parameter fields, where the values are filtered by the preceding selection.
Dynamic Parameters in Action
My question is that whether dynamic parameter is working with storedprocedure or not.
When i added one table and try to fetch records using dyanmic prameters. after that i am not be able to find the dynamic parameter option when i referesh my report.
One more thing when i try the static parameter for my report, the option i see when i referesh the screen.
Please reply soon , it's urgent

Hi Kishore,
I have tested the issue step by step by following you description, while the first issue works well in my local environment. Based on my research, this can be caused by the lookup expression or it indeed return Male value based on the logic. If you use the
expression below, it will indeed only return the Male record. So please try to double-check the record in the two datasets and the expression in your environment:
=lookup(first(Fields!ProgramID.Value,"DataSet1"),Fields!ProgramID.Value,Fields!Gender.Value,"DataSet2")
As to the second issue, please try to use the following expression:
=Count(Lookup(fields!ProgramID.value,fields!ProgramID.value,fields!Gender.value,"DataSet2"))
Besides, if this issue still exist, in order to trouble shoot this issue more efficiently, could you please post both the .rdl file with all the size properties to us by the following E-mail address? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

Date parameter does not work in SharePoint 2010 report using SQL 2008 Server Reporting Service

Here is the settings:
SharePoint 2010 with SQL server 2008 reporting services configured
When create a report for a SP list using SQL server report builder (3.0) the date parameter does not work.
The data parameter is set as "date and time" type and field name equals the col name in the SP list
When run the report, the whatever dates I select, the result is always the same, so the parameters do not take any effect.
Is any step missing?
Thanks for any advice !

Hi ,
How did you configure you "date and time" type parameter and field name equals the col name in the SP list?
Have you tested if other type parameter worked?
Have you tried typing the date format as 20140722 in your date parameter filed before run the report?

Sorting based on a parameter does not work

Hi All
I am using BI Publisher Reports with Siebel CRM 8.1.1.6. I have declared a parameter called "inputsort" in the CRM application as well as in the template by using <?param@begin:inputsort?> within the template. I can display the current value of the parameter using <?$inputsort?> without issues.
However, when I try using this parameter for sorting, it doesn work:
The report is created for a list of event attendees. When I do this, sorting works:
<?for-each:EeventsEventCheckAttendee?><?sort:ContactLastName?>
BUT when I do this, sorting does not work:
<?for-each:EeventsEventCheckAttendee?><?sort:$inputsort?>
although the parameter $inputsort does have a value of "ContactLastName".
What could be the reason??

never mind, I found the solution myself. For some reason, the correct way is:
<?for-each:EeventsEventCheckAttendee?><?sort:./*[name(.) = $inputsort]?>
I don't know why, but it works.

Dynamic image does not work in the template builder plug-in (Apex-BI Intgr)

Hi all, I posted this problem in the BI Publisher topic but nobody responded maybe this is because mods thought this is an Apex-BI integration issue.
If I'm in the wrong place, please do warn me.
The documentation says:
Direct Insertion
Insert the jpg, gif, or png image directly in your template.
...This works obviously
URL Reference
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{'http://image location'}
For example, enter: url:{'http://www.oracle.com/images/ora_log.gif'}
...This works too when I hardcode an url as url:{'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png'}
Element Reference from XML File
1. Insert a dummy image in your template.
2. In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{IMAGE_LOCATION}
where IMAGE_LOCATION is an element from your XML file that holds the full URL to the image.
...This, however, does not work.
I use Apex' report query tool and My query is like
select 'http://www.google.com.tr/images/firefox/mobiledownload.png' IMAGE_LOCATION from ... (a single result set for my template)
the xml data is generated with an IMAGE_LOCATION tag. I load it to word template plug-in. The Url successfully displays in the report if I make it a plain-simple field.
But when it's in the image format->web->alt text as url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} no image displayed.
I need to keep this design procedure simple so a simple word user could design a report via using just template builder plug-in. I don't wish to explore the xsl-fo area...yet.
Could you tell me why I can't get this url:{IMAGE_LOCATION} to work?
Regards
PS: My BI version: 10.1.3.4.1

Hi Oeren,
your steps seem basically to be correct. I have a tutorial how to do this here (in german)
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/de/community/apex/tipps/pdf-dyn-images/index.html
when you see the URL corrently as long as you have it as a plain text field, the XML tag and the
referencing seem to be OK.
Here are two thought - the issue might be one of these ...
How did you insert the dummy image into the word document - did you do it via "insert" or
via "link to file". "Link to File" does not work - you must choose the simple "insert".
Another one: Does your BI Server have a connection to the internet - is the proxy server correctly set ..?
Does this help ..?

This is a guess, but I suspect that ords_services.add_parameter() is not required at all.
Also, your URL /demo_product_info/10/ should not have the trailing slash (according to your template URI).
For more information, I suggest you look here:
ords.3.0.0.343.07.58.zip\ords.war\scripts\migrate\core\ords_migrate.plb
The migration package will show what is usually done for templates that already exist within APEX 4.2. I checked my templates and the ones with URI variables {in-curly-brackets} contain no records in apex_040200.wwv_flow_rt$parameters.

Application Parameter does not work on migrating

We have encountered this various times.
When we add an application parameter to an existing application, it does not work on migrating.
We have to make a new service (application) and then attach the parameter to it, then it works.
What is the reason for this behavior?
Eg: I added the parameter WDDISABLEUSERPERSONALIZATION and set it to X in development. Works fine there. On migrating to UAT, it does not work. What's amiss?
Thanks in adv.

Hi Aishi,
maybe SAP Note [1332644|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1332644] "WDA Application Parameters are not changed in all clients" might be helpful in your case.

Premiere Pro to Adobe Audition Dynamic link does not work. Cannot edit audio in Audition.

Trying to edit Audio from Premiere Pro within Audition thru the Dynamic link but it does not fire up Audition to edit. Seems like a common problem/bug. But no one has posted a solution. Please Help
-Windows 7
-Premiere Pro CC 2014
-Adobe Audition CC 2014

You dont understand it was all working fine in the previous Adobe versions. matter of fact you can go on youtube and see a couple of videos that shows the work flow between Premiere Pro and audition by way of Dynamic link. If you edit a video clip in Premier Pro and want to add some music or simply edit the audio that is contained in the video there was a time within Premiere Pro you can just right click "Edit in Adobe Audition" and Audition would open with the audio clip in place. Much in the same way Premiere Pro works with After Effects thru the Dynamic Link. The Dynamic Link is the bridge between applications to work with each other. For some reason Premiere Pro and Audition Dynamic Link is not working properly.

Crystal Report viewer print dialog not working.

CR2011 Dynamic Parameter does not show list at all

I am upgrading some Crystal Reports from CR 8.5 to 2011. Some would be better served by using a dynamic parameter to allow the user to select the data for the parameter from the database information. I have created a dynamic parameter on the Customer ID and set the description to be the customer name. I have set it to handle multiple values.
When I preview the report in the Crystal designer, I get a text box to type in but not a drop down. To be clear, I am not talking about the LOV 1000 limit here. There are only 50 customers in the sample file I am working with. I tried turning the static parameter into a dynamic one, I deleted the original parameter and created a new one.
In case it matters, the parameter is only used as part of the selection formula and if I enter a proper customer id, it will retrieve the data. This report has about 7 tables (no stored procedures or views) and a subreport of two tables that is linked to the main report on the customer id. The parameter is only used on the main report for record selection. The SQL statement in the main report and subreport did need to be reset when I first opened the report in CR2011 but I did that on both. I have verified the database and the option to verify on first refresh is checked. The original parameter did have an imported list of about 3000 customer names. I tried exporting the CR template to a new file and while the file size changed, the behaviour did not.
When I create a brand new report on two of the tables, including the same customer table, and create the parameter the same way, it shows me the list properly in a dropdown at the prompt stage.
I am not sure where to go here or what else to try. If anyone has any suggestions, I appreciate the help. TIA, rasinc

Thank for the reply Dell,
I see the logic in adding the extra table and keeping it unlinked and I do know the crazy data that can come up if I use it linked to other tables or use the fields in other parts of the programming.
However, I've now tried it several times, creating the parameter on just the name alone, with the ID alone, etc. and I still only get a text box to type into.
I have made sure the original selection criteria
{customer.Id} = {?Customer}
if from the original table, not the new one, which I assume you expected me to do.
So I decided to run the same report through CR XIR2. When I update the Set Datasource Location, I am now getting the message
"Invalid Argument provided.
Details: The alias requested 'company', contains a combination of characters which is not considered to be valid"
Company is a table containing information about the main company, not the customers. The same message pops up for another table as well.
Then I get a message that says:
"Prompting failed with the following error message: 'List of Values failure: fail to get values. [Cause of error: The table company does not exist in the document.]'
Error source: prompt.dll Error code: 0x8004380D"
This appears to be a database access issue but I know the firewalls are not a problem because I can create a new report and get the LOV properly with the same database and same desktop computer. I can take that report created in CR2011 and use it in CRXI also and get the proper LOV. Is it possible I am dealing with template corruption because there were so many items imported into the static list before?

Crystal Report Dynamic Parameter for SAP B1 version 8.8

Hi, does anyone have problem with the dynamic parameter prompt for Crystal Report in SAP B1 version 8.8?
For example:
1. For static parameter that allows multiple value --> In SAP B1 v8.8, there is a check-box and a "..." button next to it. When you click the "..." button, a new window appear with a list of values to choose.
2. For static parameter that does not allow multiple value --> In SAP B1 v8.8, there is one field with a drop-down menu.
3. For dynamic parameter that allows multiple value and does not allow range values --> In SAP B1 v8.8, just one field for us to key in the value. Shouldn't this be the same as No. 1?
4. For dynamic parameter that does not allow multiple value and does not allow range values --> In SAP B1 v8.8, same as No.3 above. Shouldn't this be the same as No. 2?
How do I get no. 3 dynamic parameter that allows multiple value and does not allow range values to have a check-box and a "..." button next to it to allow us to select multiple values?

Hi Shwu Hua Gan,
Thank you for your reply.
Please forgive me as I don't really understand what you are saying here. To be honest, I'm very new to Crystal Report and my understanding of CR is just the very basics. I'm actually not from a technical background which makes it more difficult.
In your reply:
Ie, you create a parameter in Crystal report, and by using the token eg:Mytest@select * from OCRD, it gives you the benefits of selecting the list from the database.
How do you do this by using the token? All I did is just select the parameter type (dynamic) and then select the table. When I preview the report in SAP B1 8.8, it doesn't prompt me like how I expect it to be. It is a blank field that I have to key in the value myself and then only the report will generate. Sometimes I don't remember what value to key in, so I have to do a formatted search for the blank field. After the report is generated, I can reselect the value (multiple values) from the CR viewer panel toolbar and refresh the report.

Exporting Crystal Report to HTML is not working in Windows 7

Hi Sir,
I am trying to export Crystal Report to HTML format using VB.NET code. Functionality is working fine at Windows XP Environment (Save to Disk, Open an Application and Email Attachment). But the same functionality is not working at Windows 7 Environment (both 32-Bit as well as 64-Bit).
Below is the code to Exporting Crystal Report to HTML in VB.NET.
Dim CrDiskFileDestinationOptions As New DiskFileDestinationOptions
Dim CrFormatTypeOptions          As New HTMLFormatOptions
Dim vFormat As Integer
Dim CrExportOptions As New ExportOptions

If Not (vRptPath = "") Then
    sfd.InitialDirectory = vRptPath
End If
sfd.Filter = "Webpage, Complete(.htm;.htm)|.htm|Web Archive, Single file(.mht)|.mht|Webpage, HTML only(.htm;.html)|.html"
If sfd.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
    ' Set the disk file options.
     CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = sfd.FileName.ToString()
Else
     Return
End If

End With
vRdReport.Export()
Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try
Code working fine at Windows XP, But it is not woking in Windows 7 environment.
Please can anyone share your valuable thoughts or ideas reg. this.
Thanks in Advance

It looks like inheritance is broken in the component hierarchy for JFrame in Windows 7 JDK 1.6.0_23-b05. The only thing remotely related to inheritance in your code snippet is the WindowListener, which does little. See camickr's advice about built-in exit management.
EDIT - using the post title as a clue, I realize you may be talking about the component hierarchy, and whether the contentPane's background is visible through the upper layers. Instead of guessing, I'd prefer you describe your "issue" accurately (observed vs expected behavior).
