Crystal Reports in other languages ...

Hi
I'm new to crystal reporting my question is can crystal reports (v10 to be specific) present data in other languages like for example Arabic even though your data source is English language? More like translate this data to that language, Is it just a matter of choosing the font when designing or its more complicated than that?
Thanks

New since CR 9 is unicode support: http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=http--supportbusinessobjectscom-communityCS-TechnicalPapersNoNav-cr9whatsnewpdfasp&sliceId=&dialogID=24286720&stateId=1 0 24288668
"Unicode support means that the program code level in Crystal Reports is able to recognize language
characters that are based on Unicode.
Unicode is used to display double-byte characters such as the Chinese and Japanese character sets.
This enables you to create Crystal Reports that can display right-to-left languages and multiple
languages in a single report."
So if your data is in unicode Crystal will be able to properly display the various languages.
If you wanted one single report to be viewed in different languages, then static strings in the report would need to be converted into formula fields which changes the text into the appropriate language based on a language parameter. Some strings could not be handled in this manner though such as custom prompting strings.

Reports in other Language

Dear Gurus,
We have a scenario at our client that
They are logging the system thru Language as English and they want to have a output report in Arabic language, so before commenting on this query I want your help to find any solution to this Problem.
For Example:
They are logging the system in English Language
And Running a T-code u201CS_ALR_87011990u201D this is a report for Generating Asset History Sheet.
And we get the report in English Language.
But Our Client wants to Login in English and wants to get the same report in Arabic Language as an output.
So Can I create any u201CZu201D Program to Generate a Report in Arabic Language by copying the standard program u201CRAGITT_ALV01u201D to u201CZRAGIIT_ALV01u201D.
Quick Response is very much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Anil.

Hello Anil,
you could go for your Zcustom solution and modify language pool dynamically via SET LOCALE/LANGUAGE statement regardless your actual logon language.
Check this document for further info and a sketch of code which should clear how this solution works:

Yes - see "Discoverer" section of MOS Doc 222663.1 (Internationalization Update Notes for Oracle E-Business Suite 11i )
2. If it supports, will there be modifications required for the existing Reports?Depends on what your requirements are.
3. If it does not support, what is the recommended version of Discoverer to upgrade to ?Disco 4i is no longer supported - if you run into issues, you will likely not get help from Support. Recommend you upgrade to Disco 10g or 11g.
4. What are the steps that need to be followed to convert the Reports to French ?Copy each report and modify the headings and other boilerplate text to reflect the language.

Change GUI Language in Crystal Reports XI

How can I change the GUI language of a installed Crystal Reports XI? At the installation, I have choosen "English" but now the GUI is in German.
As I found out, the GUI language depends on the regional settings in Windows. I have "Switzerland" as the default settings, so it seems the Crystal Reports sets the language to German. Is there a registry key or something else to change the language manually?
KR
Stephan

Hi Stephan,
When you install CR XI it should have the option to select all languages, I don't recall exact steps now, I don't have it installed any more.
Try doing a Repair install in add/remove programs and select Custom to choose all the languages. It should then select your default local.
CR 2008 now gives you the option in the Designer itself to set this option.
You can also upgrade to CR XI R2 for free, use your XI Keycode to install it and be sure to select the languages you want to support.

Crystal reports 2008 Fix Pack 2.4 Release Notes

It seems to be impossible to find any release notes for any of the fix packs. Can anyone point me to them?
Also if it's anyone from SAP reading this why are release notes not distributed in the downloads section or a link to them. It's a ridiculous situation not being able to find them, how are we meant to know if issues are fixed we raise or about fixes we should be installing and are not even aware of.

Two problmes between Crystal Reports 2008 and Bex Query

Hi Gurus.
I have two problems with Crystal Reports 2008 when It obtains data from a Bex Query (SAP MDX query connection).
1)     I have defined some Parameters Fields using the follow options:
Type: String
List of Values: Dynamic
Value Options Level1:
                     Show on (Viewer) Panel :Editable
                      Prompt text: <text>
                      Sort Order: Ascending by value
                      Prompt With description Only : False
                      Optional Prompt: True
                      Allow multiple values: True
                      Allow discrete values: True
                      Allow range values: False
When I execute the report with the client of Crystal Reports 2008 (the developer tool), in the initial screen shows a list box where I can select the values from the left box and add it to the left box (as a usually filter). When the number of options (LOV) is more than the maximum of the system, I have a input box bellow the list box, where I can insert any value (manually) and a button to insert it into the left box. When I publish the Report in the infoview, this filter is modified and the input box where I can introduce manually values is not showed and I can insert only the values showed in the list box, it causes that I can`t select a lot of values that is in the master data of SAP BW, because they arenu2019t listed in the list box.
There is any option to ability this option in the infoview.
2)     My Bex query, have a date filter with variable in the restricted key figures, when I execute a Crystal Reports, the infoview (and the Crystal Reports 2008 designer) ask me 2 times the same date, first only the date and second the date and the rest of parameters (introduced in the report of Crystal Reports).
Why I need insert the date 2 times? How can I modify the Crystal Report for ask me only one time all the parameters?.
Thanks.

Hi Abhilash.
Thank you for your information.
1) Yes, the parameters are created in the Crystal Reports designer. I have created the parameters in the Crystal Report because I use the same Bex Query to create some Crystal Report, in other case, I will need create some Bex Query.
2)The Bex query has the date filters and I have created some filters in Crystal Reports designer, the date filter from the Bex query is created automatically in the Crystal Report Designer but I don't use it, I haven't created it anytime. I use my filters only in the record selection. The date filters from the Bex query is showed as Static, and I can`t delete it, if I modify the parameter to dynamic or static with values, at first step ask me again static without values and the second step of the report execution ask me the parameter as I have defined in Crystal Reports Designer, my parameters fields are dynamic. A lot of reports have subreport, but I have created one of them without subreport (to trial) and the Crystal Reports ask me the date filters at first execution, and when I insert the date filters, in the second step, ask me the date filters again and my parameters fields again.
Thank you again.

Error While transporting Crystal Reports from BW DEV to Quality System

Hi.
I have developed a crystal report using the SAP menu. We saved the report to SAP BW dev server using the SAP menu and published it to BOE.
Now i want to transport my Crystal report to Quality system, I followed the same mechanism to transport crystal report which are aplied to other BW objects, but when i am trying to transport its giving me a short dump error:
The error appears something like this:
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The Current ABAP program u201CSAPLRSCR_CEu201D had to be terminated because it has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Function module u201C/CRYSTAL/PUBLISH_REPORTu201D was called
With the parameter u201CI_REFRESH_FOLDER_INFOu201D.
This parameter is not defined.
This is first time i am transporting any crystal report to other bw system.
Is there any document for transporting Crystal reports, I had searched SDN but didnt got any relevant documents.
or is their any setting which need to be done in BW side.
Any help will be appriciable.
Thanks
Anish

Hi,
I would suggest you open a case with support so that they can look at your system. In general you should be able to transport the Crystal REports object in the same way you transport a Bex query.

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.

Improving the performance of Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0

Hi,
I am having some performance issues with displaying reports where it can take upto 30 seconds per user for each new session for the report to display. If we run this directly from the client (through Crystal 2008) it takes about 2 seconds.
The product only has 4 different rpt files but are constantly viewed by the clients (although with diffferent parameters). The users tend to come onto the system browse a couple of reports and log-off. They will do this about 3 - 5 x a day.
1) Can you cache the reports at an application level (rather than the session) (and is it recommended)
2) Create a separate web-service just hosting the Crystal Reports
3) Other mechanisms of calling the report (currently using addDiscreteParameterValue, replaceConnection, Logon [this replaceConnection and Logon is done for the master and every subreport], then using processHttpRequest
Anyone got any advice , recommendations or pearls of wisdom?
Probably have max 15 concurrent users which process these 4 reports.
Kind regards
Matt.

CR4E 2.0 currently uses 5 CPLs - 5 concurrent process license, which means it services up to five concurrent report requests. This isn't per-session, per-report, or per-user, but per-request (open report, next page, export).
So having 15 simultaneous users may lead to some requests being queued till a license is free.
For a more scalable solution, the recommendation is to go with a server-client solution like Crystal Reports Server Embedded or BusinessObjects Enterprise.
But to tune your CR4E app to see how much you'll be able to service, what I recommend is turning on Log4J logging to see where the performance is going.
Going from 2 sec to 30 sec between CR Designer (binary app) to CRJ (pure Java app) isn't out of performance expectations, but there may be ways to tune it.
For example, if you're doing replaceConnection or setTableLocation, you may just want to do it once to the rpt file during deployment, so you'd not need to change the connection info every time the report is run.
Saving to application context isn't something that CRJ is designed for - it's designed to have the ReportSource per-Session.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Report and Field Explorer dont work in Crystal Reports 2008

Hi
I am using the following versions of Crystal Reports:
Crystal Reports 2008 (Service Pack 1)
CR Developer
Version 12.1.0.892
Product Type: Full
Target environment: .NET 3.5 windows forms and asp.net application
Since a couple of days, i can no longer access the field explorer nor the report exlorer. Anything else seems to be working fine. I first thought these windows were somewhere hidden behind another window but as much as i searched, i didnt succed in finding them :-(. Our product has a valid licence and is registered, by the way.
My question is now, what do i have to do to get my field/report explorer again. Maybe, installing the latest service pack had an influence, but i cannot tell for sure.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance
