Crystal Reports Eclipse 3 Enhancements

Hi, can someone please point us to a list of features (or provide one) that will be included within Crystal Reports Eclipse 3? I understand it will include support for Ganymede and Crystal 2008, but I'm specifically wondering about the following:
1. Hierarchical support for POJOs
2. XLS output support

There's no official release date yet, so I can't really comment on it.
It's scheduled for end of this year, but I don't know if that's 'firm'.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Crystal Reports form enhancements (frmCrystalReports)

Background
Upgraded from 8.8 to 8.81 with Crystal Reports add-on.
Not happy with ease of use of the CR add-on and loss of description field. {CR=Crystal Reports}
Summary
Wanting enhancements to the frmCrystalReports form.
Wanting assurance that frmCrystalReports form will be supported in future B1 versions.
Wanting improvements to both the "old" and "new" B1 CR integration methods.
Details
frmCrystalReports form
New columns for sap_cr_report_report table:
version - numeric - to help keep track of CR version. ie dev test and live systems might have differing versions due to ongoing development
report id - string - a short identifier of the CR. ie with many reports a unique identifier is a necessity
sort id - numeric or string - a sorting identifier so a list of CR can be ordered
ReportDesc - increase column width. eg 2000 characters
Notes - string - allow CR Developer to add their own notes/comments for future reference. The user and CR developer can have differing views on the report.
Enhancements:
Add scroll bars to the form.   There is none. Only way to navigate a CR list is with the up/down arrow keys.
Enable form resize.   There is none. Most B1 forms you can maximise/expand.
This is standard "windows" functionality, why was not this provided when created all those years ago?
Add new columns from above.
Make ReportName display its full width. Only 50 of the 100 characters can be maintained in the form!
Add CR sorting ability.   eg default=alphabetically on ReportName, user selection=reportId and/or sortId
Crystal Reports add-on
Is a pain to use. You could automate somewhat via mapping a CR directory structure to that of the modules.
For example, put a CR in the Financials folder and B1 automatically picks up the name and makes that report available to the Finance module.
Needs ability to show user description, version, report id, as per frmCrystalReports enhancements. Just showing the CR name is not enough information.
ps there is a bug with this form. Background and Summary text above are set as bold but as you can see the trailing text is bold also.

This is what I did to fix the non-sorting in the form by changing the table pk.
-- backup original table
exec sp_tables @table_name = "sap%";
go
select * into sap_cr_report_report_bup_20111101 from sap_cr_report_report;
go
exec sp_tables @table_name = "sap%";
go
-- change new pk columns to not nullable
alter table sap_cr_report_report alter column ModuleUID char(20) not null;
alter table sap_cr_report_report alter column ReportName nvarchar(50) not null;
go
-- create new pk
alter table sap_cr_report_report add constraint scrr_pk primary key (ModuleUID, ReportName);
-- alter table sap_cr_report_report drop constraint scrr_pk;
go
exec sp_pkeys sap_cr_report_report
go
:out stdout

Crystal Reports for Eclipse - Builds wrong query for Ingres

An Ingres user tries to use Crystal Reports for Eclipse with Ingres database. I am attaching here-with the related Ingres forum posting ( http://community.ingres.com/forum/database-drivers-apis/2567-jdbc-crystal-reports-eclipse.html ). Based on further research it appears that the crystal reports engine generates a wrong SQL query for Ingres when the table fields are dragged and dropped from the Field Explorer view to a newly created crystal report. Examining the contents of the table from the Data Explorer view seems to work just fine. Any thoughts/pointers on this issue is greatly appreciated.

Usha

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Java Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

Crystal Reports and SAP BW Connectivity for OLAP

Hello,
Anybody created Crystal reports off SAP BW Infocubes? For some reason I am not able to create or configure BW sever connection. I installed Crystal reports and SAP enhance cd for OLAP.
Thanks
Tom

Hello,
I was able to connect and create Crystal report based on Bex query..no connection problem there. But, reporting directly off infocubes, the server type "SAP Business Information Warehouse"(add server option in OLAP connection Browser) not showing up in list of values.
1. I released Info query for PLE DB for OLAP as per
   user's guide.
2. The manual says you have to configure SAP BW server
   log on? For Bex query(Crystal) all available servers
   automatically available
Thanks

Waterfall Diagram with Crystal Reports

Dear Xperts ; )
at the moment we face a problem with creating waterfall diagrams in Crystal Reports based on BEx Queries.
They work very nice with positive values, but not with the negative ones.
Does anyone have experience creating waterfall diagrams?
And btw is it possible to create them also showing negative values?
We found some tools for xcelsius, but not for crystal reports. But we have no xcelsius here at this customer.
I would be very thankful for any hints and tipps.
Thanks in advance.
BR
Benjamin Maier

Hi Benjamin,
Water fall charts are not yet supported with crystal reports.
Please have a look to BusinessObjects note # 1264351 - Waterfall chart in Crystal Reports XI (R2 and 3.0)
For your reference i have paste the content of note:
Symptom
Are Waterfall charts supported in Crystal Reports XI R2 and 3.0?
Reproducing the Issue
Applies to any Crystal Reports version in XI R2 and Crystal Reports 2008
Create or open a Crystal Report in the designer
Insert a chart and try to find the chart type 'Waterfall'
This type cannot be found
Closest type is Stacked bar chart
Cause
Waterfall chart type is not yet supported by Crystal reports.
Resolution
Enhancement Request has been logged: ADAPT01087191
I have checked the status of Adapt its not resolved.

Crystal Report RAS and eclipse jar licensing

Hello,
I am currently evaluating crystal reports 2013 for report designing for one of our customers. I have created a poc with xml from file system as a datasource
and then setting our web service xml response as datasource at runtime to populate the crystal template.
I have downloaded eclipse with crystal plugin and developed a sample web app that serves the crystal report over http.
I can see that it uses set of crystal runtime libraries(CrystalReportsRuntime.jar for instance) that are shipped in eclipse.
I have couple of questions regarding licenses, eclipse and RAS and would love to have them answered.
1. The customer has crystal licenses.So, we would be developing the applications using the jars found in eclipse and during deployment use the jars the client provide. Not a question but would like to have your view on his.
2. What role does RAS play? Do I need it or I can just use my own web server to serve rpts via jsps as in the sample provided?
3. If I use the crystal runtime jar that ships with eclipse, what are the licensing terms ?
Thanks
Bharat

Hi Bharat,
Here are the answers to your queries.
1. The approach seems appropriate as long as the application works fine in Dev and server environment.
2. RAS is a dedicated server (With BusinessObjects Enterprise) for Crystal processing while using SDKs. If you are using only the CR for eclipse Jars then RAS as a server does not play a role. but an In Process RAS service of CR report engine performs all the tasks.You could simply host the app on your web app server and deploy all the Jars.
3. See the Crystal licensing doc.
For more info on CR for eclipse, you could post your queries to http://scn.sap.com/community/crystal-reports-for-eclipse

According to the release notes, for the JRCHelperSample to compile, you must set the target runtime for the project.
To do this, either create a project from scratch that uses the Tomcat 5.5 target runtime, or go to the properties menu and ensure that the target runtime is set to the application server you will be using.

Database connection not working in Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0

Hello All,
We have several hunderd reports that were created in CR 8.5. We are moving to a new Java environemnt and we are also considering using BIRT.However to save development time and effort we are considering using the CR for Eclipse 2.0. For a proof of concept, we loaded several of our 8.5 reports into Crystal reports XI, saved them, and then loaded them into our CR for eclipse design environment.
These reports were built from the values returned from a store procedure.. When we try to execute the reports from within Eclipse, we get Error finding JNDI name (xxxx). We have created the appropriate datasource (to Sybase 12.5.4), and the schema is viewable in the db explorer. However when we associate the connection to this datasource, the connection no longer appears in the field explorer and no data is returned upon previewing the report.
The original reports used ODBC to access the database. Is there anyway to easily convert these reports to using the Sybase JDBC datasource? Also in the DB explorer, the SPs are only showing the SP parameters,not the return values, so we are unable to easily drag the return fields onto the report to reset the links.
Thanks in advance
Edited by: Michael Knight on Oct 7, 2009 1:46 PM

Michael,
We had a similar situation but from my reseach the output from the stored procs cannot be viewed in the report designer in Eclipse. So we had to design the reports using the Crystal Reports Devloper application (the stand-alone version, not the Eclipse editor). The reports were designed w/an ODBC datasource. In order to get that working we had to create a JNDI JDBC datasource connection w/the exact same name as the ODBC datasource and that works. For example, the ODBC datasource was named OP01DSDB01.WORLD so we just created a JNDI datasource w/that exact same name (no jdbc/OP01DSDB01.WORLD just OP01DSDB01.WORLD). I'm not sure if there is a workaround for any of this but this was the easiest way to get them working.
I know this isn't the ideal situation, but that was the easiest way to get things working.

Sub-reports DO NOT WORK in Crystal for Eclipse v2

Hi, 
 
We have recently upgraded from Crystal JRC to CR4E 12.2.202. Our application updates the JDBC connections at runtime to supply credentials. 
 
Everything seems to be working except sub reports. When using sub reports we get the error shown below. 
 
On reading other forum posts, the top error about PropertyResourceBundle just seems to be about trying 
to print an error message from the real exception, which is in the third stack trace below: 
Error code:-2147217394 Error code name:missingParameterValueError 
 
Any idea what has changed and how we can resolve this issue? 
 
Thanks for your help.

We raised a support issue on this and was given a work around.
With Crystal for Eclipse, you can no longer use "dynamically" generated sub report parameters, you must manually add the parameter to the sub report and apply a record level selection formula.
Steps for the work around:
1. Open the sub report and manually add a parameter field in the field explorer. You can call it whatever you want, but make sure the data type is correct. It should match the datatype that will be passed in by the main report.
2. Click Report -> Selection formula -> Record
3. Enter in a formula like this: {MYTABLE.ID} = {?subreportparam}
4. Save and close
5. Go back to the main report
6. Right click the sub report -> Change sub report links
7. Drag a report field into the fields to link list
7. In sub report parameter field to use, select you're newly created parameter and click OK

Problem with Crystal reports for Eclipse and Postgres-databases

Hi,
Is there a known problem when using a PostgreSQL-database to create a report with Crystal reports Plugin? When I drag a table, then occurs a error-windows, that the object can't created.
I have found a workaround for solving the problem. After new installing Eclipse Platform Version: 3.4.1 Build id: M20080911-1700 and Crystal reports Plugin 11.8.6.v1371 with JRE 1.6.0_01 the error message allways occurs, when I select a table from a PostgreSQL database (Version 8.2). After restarting eclipse you see the last selected tables in the field explorer and you can drag the table fields in the report. A repeated choice of the same table causes aliases for the table in the field explorer after restarting eclipse.

Your issue appears to be a Crystal Reports for Eclipse report designer thing, and not a JRC runtime thing. The JRC runtime does support Type 4 JDBC drivers, but all modern PostgreSQL drivers are Type 4.
The current report designer is more restrictive than the JRC runtime - and PostgreSQL, being not on the supported platforms list, has never been tested with the embedded designer.
Unless there's anybody out there with experience with PostgreSQL and CR4E designer, who would be willing to share their experiences.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

I agree with Rob that it is likely the OutputStream object throwing the error. Another option is to try the following code for your viewer code: // ****** BEGIN CONNECT CRYSTALREPORTPAGEVIEWER SNIPPET **************** { // Create the CrystalReportViewer object CrystalReportViewer crystalReportPageViewer = new CrystalReportViewer(); // set the reportsource property of the viewer IReportSource reportSource = clientDoc.getReportSource(); crystalReportPageViewer.setReportSource(reportSource); // set viewer attributes crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnPage(true); crystalReportPageViewer.setOwnForm(true); // Apply the viewer preference attributes // Process the report String output = crystalReportPageViewer.getHtmlContent(request, response, application); out.print(output); } // ****** END CONNECT CRYSTALREPORTPAGEVIEWER SNIPPET **************** Regards, Sean Johnson (CR4E Product Manager)

Can any boby tell me another way to integate Crystal report with Jdeveloper
Sincerely,
Amol

Something is writing out to both the JSP Response Writer and OutputStream. Writer is for text and OutputStream is for binaries.
This typically happens, especially on WebSphere and Oracle OC4J, when exporting a Crystal Report in the viewer. The DHTML view is HTML text, but the exports are binaries.
I'd recommend putting Crystal Report Viewer object in a Servlet - there you'd have full control over what goes in Writer and OutputStream. Once in the Servlet, ensure you don't write anything out yourself, but let the viewer have full control over what goes out.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Crystal Reports for eclipse 2.0 deployed on unix

Hi,
We have designed few crystal reports using u201CCrystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0u201D on windows platform. We have embedded this report into a J2EE Web application and deployed the web application on Tomcat 6.X server.
We are able to generate the reports successfully on windows environment. But when deployed the web Application on to Tomcat server 6.X on Solaris environment we get runtime exception as below.

Note : We have not installed any crystal report servers in both windows or UNIX environment.But we have deployed all the relavant crystal report jars for the java runtime environment.
If anyone has come across such error please help. Also let me know if we need to have external RAS set up for this?By default the the RAS will be set to "inproc:jrc" which works fine on windows environment.
regards,
Madhu

I am having similar problems. Environment works perfectly in Windows. All JARS and config files moved to AIX UNIX machine. I get nothing more than a Crystal Reports 'Error' on the screen!!!
Any ideas since this was posted??
