Crystal Reports Group-by-Summarized Data on SAP-BW

Hi experts
I am facing some strange problem while building report aginst SAP-BW
I have two groups of data set in crystal Reports
Ist group is on Business Area
2nd Group is on Cost Element(under business Area)
and (YTD- Amount) Across Business Area and Cost Element.
Problem: I am unable to get correct summarized amount for business area.(which should be sum of all cost elements under specific business area)
PS: I have done hireachial grouping as mentioned for SAP-BW practise.
And also tried to apply all summarized formulas with no result.
But iam unable to trace why it is happening.
Advance thanks
Krishna

did you try inserting the summary in a specific group footer?
regards,
Raghavendra

Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#

Hi,
I am new to the forums and posted a question which belonged to the .net - SAP Crystal reports group.
Can someone help me with my problem? following is the thread that I have started.
Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?
Thank you in advance.

Looking at the original thread, you are connecting to the text file via the DAO database engine:
"I added the text file as follow, new connection -> Access/Excell (DAO) -> select the file and the database type as text"
Thus I would use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database. See Kbase [1218178 - Error: "Logon failed" when connecting to Access database in .NET application|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313338333133373338%7D.do] for more information. If that does not work, you may want to consider connecting via ODBC or feeding the data from the text file to and ADO .NET dataset and pointing the report at the dataset.

BI 4.0 w/ Windows AD SSO, but Crystal Report (mdx) prompt login data

Hi guru,
We have been struggling for a while on the sso issue between BI 4.0, AD, BW, and CR.
Our architecture is not complex:
1. A BI 4.0 (BOE) on Tomcat (windows)
2. Backend SAP BW as main data source
3. AD, SAP Authentication are configured in CMC
4. User can login to Windows Desktop (login to Win Domain) and then link to BI Launchpad w/o giving password (Windows SSO), it works.
5. Crystal report can be published via BW to BI/2.0/.... folder on BI
But one thing still not working:
Our crystal report (using mdx for data accessing to BW) keep asking database login credential when a BI user login via Windows SSO. We want to get rid of this prompt and want to use a mapped R3 account for db access. each windows AD user has a corresponding mapped r3 account configured in CMC. We have tried, but not working.
The only way we got to avoid the prompt is to remove bwmdx from Crystal Report SSO Config in CMC and manually change the published CR report to use "original data login" as well as assiging the r3 credential. But we have to do it for each CR report.
Anyone have done this before ?
Is it possible to Login via Windows SSO and then view CR report w/o giving pwd ?
Or we have to do some special setting while making the report ?
Or users have to login by R3 account to get such SSO ?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for prompt reply, My answer is:
No, SNC is not enabled.
Since BO can get data via the following 3 method from BW, so I'm not sure whether SNC is a must (just for CR SSO)
Universe(UNV) --> BW
Universe(UNX) --> BW
OLAP --> BW
OK, if SNC is a must to link AD SSO to BW SSO, what kind of SNC (client vs server) should I configure ?
Thanks

Crystal Reports grouping limits different then tree or tab menu limits...

Hi,This may not be the forum for this, but I figured that if I am trying to make a treemenu function as a replacement for the group tree in CR that it is somewhat relevant...I got a production system to run a test and it seems that the Crystal reports group tree control can easily display 3000+ items, no errors, warnings or any other abnormal behaviours. Why would it be possible for this to work, and not have that many elements in a treemenu or tabmenu without the page size limits? I've already discovered that in my case I need to break up the levels into smaller strings, but the page size becomes an issue. There are no ways that i have found to duplicate the group tree functionality with that many levels. Even the largest page size cannot display 3000+ items that I have been able to find.Thanks for any help you can give.   

this will work for viewing only in boe or in the crystal reports designer...<li>In Enterprise (CMC), navigate to the report you've just uploaded </li><li>From the process tab, select 'Print Setup' </li><li>In the 'Set the report's page layout' section, select the 'Custom Settings' option. </li><li>Choose a Height and Width for the report (for example - 40inches width, 10 inches high). </li><li>Click Update. </li><li>Go to the History tab and Click Run Now (assuming the report you've built doesn't have a massive quantity of data) </li><li>You should now be viewing your report with the screenspace chosen (40 inchs wide) - From the viewer, export the report to RPT and save it to your desktop. </li><li>Open the report in Crystal Reports and you will have the report with custom page settings to work with. </li>

Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?

Hi,
I am a new user of Crystal Reports 2008.
I have created a report with charts in it. The input data comes from a csv text file.
Can I set the name of this text file as an input parameter?
as I need to generate 44 similar reports with different text filenames(and data)?
Thank you.
Regards

Brian,
Thanks much.
I did exactly what you said.
Just to see any change, I first gave a bad report file name just to see if I am accidentally pointing to a different file,
but I got an error saying report not found.
Then I renamed my original datafile name and generated a report and it still generated one without giving an error.
Then I also gave a junk name to the logoninfo and printed that name, the new name was assigned to logoninfo, but the code did not error out.
It ended up generating the report.
Now here is what I think is happening,
1) The save data in report option seems to be still on even though I have turned it off in 2 locations
a) file -> Report Options
b) file -> Options -> Reporting tab.
2) For some reason the logoninfo is getting ignored as well.
Since I did not see any answers yesterday I posted a link to this thread on the .Net forum
Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#
and Ludek Uher says that I am connecting to the text file via a DAO database engine and so need to use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database.
But the link he gave me tells me to try the same thing that we have been trying..
Here is my plan,
1) I will first try and find out why my save data with report option is still on ( but it shows off in Crystal ).
2) why is LogonInfo getting ignored.
Meanwhile any suggestions from anyone are welcome.

Crystal Reports for VS2010 using a custom SAP ABAP function module data source

I recently worked with Crystal Reports 2011 and was able to connect and retrieve data from our R/3 system via an ABAP function module. While researching other features, I found this version that can be installed into Visual Studio 2010. The parameters are not very user friendly in Crystal Reports so I was hoping to create a custom dialog to collect my report parameters.
Does anyone know if I were to install Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010, would I be able to design a front-end selection screen in a Visual Basic form and then pass the input to through the Crystal Reports connection to my ABAP function module to retrieve the data filtered on the back-end by the selection screen parameters and return the results to be reported in the Crystal Reports output?
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Professional Visual Basic with the .NET Framework 4.0 on 32-bit Windows 7. I was able to connect to our R/3 system in Crystal Reports 2011, so if I were to install Crystal Reports for VS2010, would there be a similar way of connecting to SAP?
Any assistance or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan

Hello Bryan
I don't know for sure, but I doubt this will work in CRVS2010. Only hope is that the utility available for download in this KBA will point you in the right direction.

Crystal report group by intervals on date field

I have a table which contains euipment related defects arranged on Date_Raised field. I have to grouped the records based on date_raised field and certain intervals like if date_riased field is < certifciate_complication_date, if date_raised falles between certficate_complication_date and final_certificate_date.
certificate_completion_date and final_completion_date field are parameters which are fetch from another table & pass onto report.
my problem is , crystal report in VS 2003 doesn't allows to enter parameters in specified group when you select this option. you have to enter fixed values.
Does anybody knows how to get around this, any quick help will be highly appreciable.
I have to do this in VS 2003 only.
Thanks,
Sunil

That version of CR is version 9 which does not have Dynamic Cascading Parameters. One option is to upgrade or possibly post your question to the Report Design forum and indicate you are using CR 9 functionality.
Other option is to use 2 Parameters with a start/end date prompt.

Crystal report parameter problem while uploading in sap business one

Hi
All
I designed a crystal report using
stored procedure
and
Routemas user defined table
in sql server with three parameter
routname,from date,to date
these parameters are from storedprocedure only but not created in report
i set the parameter routename as dynamic and i assigned the routename field from routemas table
when i run the report in the parameter window it displays the list of routenames
upto this is k but
when i upload this report in sap business one 8.81 PL-05 and
run this report in sap environment First it asks parameters there
it didnt display the list of routnames
when the parameter routname is set as static and assign some routenames manually
then it shows the list in sap environment
Can any suggest the answer
Edited by: madhu ganga raju on Oct 17, 2011 7:06 AM

Hi Rhaul,
i don't exactly know why this is a problem, but if your not on latest (881 p10) then upgrade and try again.
Or as a workaround,
try saveing from CR to SAP with the CR add-on. That usualy works better then the import.

Crystal Report Group section in new page

Hi all,
I have a program written in VB.Net 2005 which display a report. In this report, I have a group by Item type ascending.
When I run the program and load the report, it display the data correctly.
When I move my mouse cursor on Group Section Hearder on the report, it will change to Magnify icon.
When I double click on that Group title which is "Item Type" in my report, it will load a new page beside "Main Report" in Crystal tool bar.
Problem is it didn't contain Report Header/Footer or Page Header/Footer.
I like this feature but it only display the group section is not enough for me.
Why I like it is because my report will have different Item Type. Each type can list up to more than 1 page.
I want to print the report by Item Type. That means Item A may be total 2 pages, Item B may be total 6 pages.
All I need to do is load the page like I mention above, it will only contain that Item Type and click on Print to print out particular Item type.
Another issue is If i supress this Group Section in crystal report during design, when I run the program I can't double click to open up new page beside Main report.
Any idea and solution for my case????
Thanks.
Edited by: scsfdev on Mar 4, 2010 9:34 AM

Your report will need re-designing. What you are seeing is an expected behavior. Consider redesigning your report - possibly using subreports.
If i supress this Group Section in crystal report during design, when I run the program I can't double click
- again, an expected behavior. You suppressed the GroupSection. E.g.; you made it invisible / non functional / not needed by suppressing it...

Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, unable to connect on deployment.

Hi
I have a crystal report that connects to a text file using (Access/Excel DAO).
Now I wrote a C# .net code that loads this report and change the file name to the text file to a different file
using table.TableName and table.Location to the new file and location,
then I do applyLogonInfo.
This worked perfectly on the machine where I developed my report and code but when I put the
files to a different machine where I need to deploy the reports, I get the following error.
Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters.
   at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.DatabaseControllerClass.SetTa
bleLocation(ISCRTable CurTable, ISCRTable NewTable)
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table.set_Location(String value)
   at ComponentCalcsReport.GenerateCrystalReport.getReportInPdf(String reportfil
e, String fileName)
I have done the following on the deployment machine.
1) I have installed the CR_runtime libraries required to be able to run crystal report applications.
2) I have put my .rpt file and the .csv database files in the correct folder.
3) I have put my exe file on the machine.
I run it from the command line.
Am I missing something like registering the DAO or creating a DSN explicitly?

Hi,
After searching through the forums I found this nice document
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b0225775-88c4-2c10-bd80-8298769293de?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
Using it's steps, I found out that when I created the report file using CR, I had the data connection set as a path
on the D drive. But the client/deployment machine did not have a D drive and hence the path to which the database was
pointing to. Therefore, the error "cannot connect to database" since the database name was pointing to D:pathToData
When I created a report that was on the C drive and it's data connection was also made from C drive then the same report worked fine on the client machine. I had to make sure that on the client machine I set up the exact same folder structure as the development machine's (i.e. C:pathToMyDataandReportFolder).
I tried using the setConnection function to change this path at run-time but did not succeed.

Crystal Report 2008 Area Chart Data Label Problem

Stacked Area Chart (Layer Cake) Issues:
We would like to use a Crystal Report (2008) Stacked Area Layer Cake chart to show the workload RPD's (Sum of Resources Per Day = Y value axis) and Data_Date of the study (M,Month of study date = X value axis, using fiscal year type cycle Oct - Sept).
Each Stacked Area represents the workload RPD's for a single project, or group of projects.
When showing labels or series information the chart becomes overloaded and not visible to read because there is over 400 data points.
Is there a way to break this dataset down so that values and/or labels are visible, using the crystal report options available? To suppress multiple layers and show a single label per layer?
We tried using the Color Highlight to group and display them by group and condition. The labels and series data points are still over crowded.
We also need to overlay the chart with the Average FC Totals from an additional Crosstab report. Is there a way to overlay this over the 1st layer of the report?

Crystal Report menu-item not visible on SAP menu of client

SAP 2007A SP:00 PL:38
Crystal Report 2008 (on start menu)
Crystal Report 2.0.0.6
1. Installed CR 2008 on server and it runs fine both from Start menu and from within SAP menu. SAP also shows Crystal Reports menu item and Crystal Admin.
2. Installed Crystal Report on one of the clients and it works fine in same way.

Then run the CRRuntime_12_0_mlb.exe without errors. Then installed CR designer, On this client, Crystal Reports 2008 opens fine from Start menu. However from within SAP, it does not show Crystal Reports Admin nor the Crystal Reports menu-item.
a) This user has "automatic" start of Crystal Reports 2.0.0.6 in Add-on Administration.
b) However, in Add-on Manager, Crystal Report does not show at all.
c) In Add-Remove programs, I see that Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 exists on the client.
d) OS is Microsoft XP.
How could I see Crystal Administration or 'Crystal Reports' menu-item from within SAP on this client?
Thanks, Ajay Audich

Hi,
1) On Add-Remove Programs on the client, I see the following:
Crystal Reports 2008 Runtime
Crystal Reports Basic 2008 for SAP Business One
Microsoft.NET Framework 1
Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2
Microsoft.NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2

On server, 'Installed Add-ons' tab shows Crystal Status as 'Connected'
However, on the client, Add-on manager, both "Installed Add-ons" as well as "Pending Add-ons" tabs do not show Crystal Reports row at all.
3) The user RT on the client is a super-user.
Thanks.

Crystal Reports - Failed to retrieve data from the database

Hi There,
I'm hoping that somebody can help me.
I've developed a crystal report from a stored procedure which I wrote. I can execute the stored procedure within SQL Server and within the Crystal Reports designer without any errors. Furthermore, I have imported the report into sap and can run it within SAP from the server without any errors. SAP version 8.81 PL5
The issue is that when it's run from a client machine, I get the following error: "Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: Database Vendor Code: 156. Error in the File RCR10010 {tempfile location}
Here's a list of things which I have tried, all to no avail:
- Checked user permissions to ensure that they have proper authorizations
- Re-set the datasource connection and re-imported the report to SAP.
- Exported the report and reviewed the datasource connection and re-imported to SAP.
- Tried to run the report on multiple machines to ensure that it's not machine specific
- Tried to run the report using different users to ensure it's not user specific.
- Tested other reports built from stored procedures on client machines to ensure that they work.
Any assistance in this would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you

After further testing, we found that the report could be run within SAP on any work station which had the CR designer installed on it.
As it turns out, the procedure which I wrote has temp tables in it. The runtimes built into the SAP client install do not support creating temp tables when executing the report from within SAP. Which is why the report could not retreive data.
To work around this, I installed external runtimes which were the same version of the Crystal Report and now the report can be run within SAP from any workstation which has the external runtimes (and not just the runtimes within the SAP client).
I hope this makes sense.

How to configure crystal report xml file as data source in BOE in Solaris?

Hi,
How to configure crystal reports from xml file as data source in Solaris? I didn't find any suitable driver for xml / excel files for sun solaris.

Hi Don thanks for the reply,
In windows environment I donot have any problem when creating crystal report from Xml file and Excel file. After creating reports when I publish those into boe server in solaris, getting connection failed error.
My solaris BOE server doent have any network connection with windows machines. So i have to place the files in solaris server.
Below the steps what I tried:
1. Created crystal reports from cr designer in windows using ADO.Net(xml) and in another try with Xml webservices drivers. Reports works well as it should.
2. Saved in BOE repository in Solaris server from crystal reports and changed database configuration settings as:
 -Used custom database logon information and specified cr_xml as custom driver.
 -Chnaged database path to file directory path according to solaris server file path </app/../../>
 -tried table prefix also
 - Selected radio button use same database logon as when report is run saved.
My environment :
