  • BW Query variable default value put in Crystal report variable question

    Why BW Query variable default value put in Crystal report variable for BO InfoView to open crystal report.

  • Crystal Reports Version Question

    Hello,
    I am developing a web site using vs 2010 and the compatible version as downloaded from here. I have come across a small issue that I'm sure is easily solvable but I can't find any references to it. When I try to run this solution on another machine or server with crystal reports 10 installed I notice that the graphs colours aren't matching to as set in the report. I understand that this is a version issue but without installing vs 2010 and then the crystal report version supported onto another machine. Is there away or an installation just so that the reports work as expected (fo this version without installing vs 2010).
    I tried downloading the redist 32 bit version from here and updating the config file accordingly but when I then generate a report I'm getting a database logon failed error.
    Note that if I change the webconfig file back to 10.2.3600.0 from the recently changed 13.0.2000.0 then the report works as expected, except the graph colours aren't using the conditional colours.
    Am I doing something horribly wrong?
    Cheers,
    John.

    I'm not sure I understand the details here - I htink the description gets a bit muddled as it goes. E.g.; this:
    I understand that this is a version issue but without installing vs 2010 and then the crystal report version supported onto another machine. Is there away or an installation just so that the reports work as expected (fo this version without installing vs 2010).
    is a source of confusion for me(?).
    In any case, CRVS2010 and CR 10.2 should be (as far as I know, are) side by side compatible. Based on my interpretation of the statement above, I wonder about the runtime being deployed. The CRVS2010 runtime is here:
    MSM
    http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_mergemodules_13_0.zip
    MSI 32 bit
    http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0.zip
    MSI 64 bit
    http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0.zip
    Are you using one of the above to deploy the crvs2010 runtime?

  • Crystal Report Desing question

    Hello everybody,
    Im a newbie to the Crystal reports envrionment. I have to design a report, using Crystal reports 11 , which will show an entity, its address phone number ets as the main row in the report. If an advanced option is clicked on the filter, a child section will be shown, containing filenames associated to that entity in the database. How do i design this report . Any inputs would be gretaly appriciated. Also this is being done in a Java environment, like the filters and all will be in a jsp page. However .net implementation would be acceptable, as i require the solution if at all this is possible.
    Thanks,
    Kohinoor

    Please re-post if this is still an issue

  • Crystal Report Server Questions

    We purchased CRSXIR2 from Business objects and have 1 yr maintenance.
    I want to upgrade to Crystal Report Server 2008.
    Where can I get the media for a 64bit version of Crystal Report Server 2008?
    Can 32 bit clients using Crystal Reports 10 or 11 integrate with a 64 bit install of Crystal Report Server 2008?

    Enterprise Soft Delivery.
    You need a login though:
    [https://businessobjects.subscribenet.com/control/bobj/login]
    I believe it's a free upgrade with an ongoing service agreement (at least that's the case with BOE XI R2 to BOE XI 3.0)

  • Crystal Report Chart Question

    I have created a line chart based on a report that has a Sum $ amount field. I also have a running total field for a "count" of records (ttl by year)  Year is currently a group.  Because it is a running total I am unable to include it in the chart and it is not working.  Can anyone help me figure out how I can count the number of records, per year, on my report and create a chart based on this information?
    Thank you.
    Karen

    Karen,
    As you have already grouped on Year you can include the count of records at the group level in group footer section for that year .
    Go to Insert Summary select ID or Which field you want the count on select count from the calculate this summary option .Summary Location select the group which is year in your case.
    Click OK so you get the record count for the years. then plot the chart accordingly.
    Cheers

  • Crystal Report Add-On not working

    Hello Experts,
    We have freshly installed Crystal Reports Add-On. when we start the add-on it says it is connected but when we try to access any of the forms in the Crystal Reports sap screen comes up with a message window stating
    "There is already an open Datareader associated with this command which must be closed first"
    which does allow any further transactions in crystal reports screens.

  • 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.

  • Crystal Reports Server - Import from v9 to XI

    Post Author: raudette
    CA Forum: Deployment
    I have a Crystal 9 server and Crystal 11 server, with production reports running on both.I have been asked to get rid of our Crystal 9 server, and import all of our reports into the Crystal 11 server.I intend to use the 'import wizard' tool.  Should the import not work as I like, I would like to roll back all my changes.My questions are:1) Will the import tool make any changes to the Crystal 9 instance?2) Is it possible to back up Crystal 11 in its current state, so I can roll it back if need be?  Is this just a matter of backing up the MS SQL interface.3) Has anyone else on this forum done this?  Can I expect this just to work?  Or will it require a lot of manual changes / intervention after the import to make everything work again.Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

  • Crystal Reports Server install from download

    I have been tasked by my manager to install & evaluate Crystal Reports Server.
    I have gone to the evaluation download site and downloaded the part 1 & 2 files.
    Part 1 extracts and give an error message stating that the archive is incomplete.  Once unzipping the part 2 there seems to be no setup.exe ?
    Can you help me install this evaluation software ?

  • Convert BI query into Crystal Report

    Dear Sir,
    I have drawn a structure in BI query onto Crystal Report,
    my question is that, can I delete one single field from this structure on Crystal Report ?
    'cause when I tried to delete one single field, the whole structure is deleted.
    In addition, can I change the field name(text/description) on Crystal Report ?
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Best Regards,
    Girai

    Hi,
    in Crystal Reports you can still decide which parts of the underlying query you would like to use in the report.
    in case you mean a actual structure in the BW query and having 2 structures overall, one of the structures becomes rows of data in your report and you could if required filter it out.
    In terms of texts - you can for sure create your own headings.

    Gira,
    You want my advise?
    Why convert from BI to BO ?
    Create in BO directly. Create new. That saves a lot of trouble.
    Learn BO. That is the way to GO.
    assign points if you feel generous today.
