Crystal reports light

Any idea on what would be included in this version?
There should be enough to output to XCelcius+ I hope.
Would there be a migration path from Crystal to crystal light?  I would like to get off the "premium" version that will require additional licensing fees.
thx

Hi Tracey,
Are you wanting to take advantage of Crystal Xcelcius in your Crystal reports (something that you can leverage in the 2008 version of Crystal Reports).  The light version of Crystal Reports is not due for a while and will have reduced functionality.  In similar ways that Crystal Reports for Eclipse and Crystal Reports for Visual Studio are lighter version of the Crystal reports engines and limited designer experiences compared to the full Designer.
If you have some details in terms how you are using the product, or how you would like to use it, i would be more then happy to share some insight with you.

  • Crystal Report Light

    Hello guys,
    I have to create reports on live data from the tables of CRM Box. We can think of only one option i.e. Crystal Report Live. I just want to know if Crystal Report Light is a part of SAP NW2004s or we need to buy seperate BO with SAP integration toolkit and get another licence for that. We don't want to buy licence if it is seperate install. CR Light has the basic features of crystal reports that we can use to create some of the reports. I would like to know that how can we implement CR Light. If it is a part of SAP NW then I will talk to my basis guys and they can install support pack for that. In short I need details of CR Light.
    Here is more details of CR light.

    Kindly let me know if you have any suggessions as soon as possinle.
    Thanks,
    Rahul.

    Yes, to use Crystal Reports you need to have separate license.
    To use Crystal Reports you will require Crystal Reports 2008 and BO Integrater KIT for SAP.
    Any how if interested to have a feel of Crystal Reports 2008, ypu can download the free trial version.
    But Bex Report Designer is the option you can go for to develop crystal reports and no extra license required.
    Cheers,

  • Freed goods item too in Value in crystal report

    Hi,
    iam invoicing SAP out put in Crystal format, now i required the free goods item  too in value( only in crystal report).
    Pls throw some light on this issue.
    Regards
    Shafique

    you need to total the pricing good and free goods? correct
    you should use manual running totals to calculate the values
    RESET               whileprintingrecords;
                   Numbervar  X := 0;
    CALCULATION          whileprintingrecords;
                   Numbervar  X := x + ;
    DISPLAY               whileprintingrecords;
                   Numbervar  X;
                   X
    im sure you have a group by invoice number in there.
    you will need to create 1 set of the above formulas for each total. (1 pricing, 1 free)
    reset placed in group header or report header dependent on where you want the values displayed
    calculation placed where it should be calc, details usually unless you have a group by goods
    display where you want the values to display in the report.
    the calculation formula may need to use a formula to capture good type

  • Crystal Report Viewer Not Releasing Oracle Database Connections

    I have a very simple vb.net 3.5 web application that uses the Crystal Report viewer 2008 to open a report. My requirements are as follows:
    1. Reports are built by another company and provided to us and used in a web environment
    2. All reports contain parameter fields
    3. The web application must be generic enough that a report can be added to a list and the user simply selects the report and provides database login information. The Crystal report viewer with handle the request for parameter values and prompt the user for their values.
    4. All reports connect to an Oracle 10g server.
    The above requirements have been meet and we have an extremely simple web application that runs the reports. It is working very well other than the crystal report viewer is not releasing the database connections. This is bad because the credentials are on a per user basis and that same user must login to a different oracle application simultaneously. They are being denied access because the credentials are already in use. We do not have control nor influence over the policies in use on the Oracle server. Ideally we would like to control the Crystal Report viewer so that it closes connections after use.
    The web application code is:
    Private Sub viewReports_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
    If Not IsPostBack Then
    ConfigureCrystalReport()
    End If
    End Sub
    Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReport()
    'Load the Crystal Report viewer with a report.
    Try
    Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath(Session("reportname"))
    crViewer.ReportSource = reportPath
    Catch ex As Exception
    Response.Write(Server.MapPath(Session("reportname")) & "
    " & ex.Message.ToString & "
    " & ex.StackTrace.ToString)
    End Try
    End Sub
    Can anyone shed some light on this topic? Thank you

    Hello, Timothy;
    By default, having the report in session will hold it open for 20 minutes.
    If you create the report as a ReportDocument object you can take it out of session and release it more efficiently. That will release the connection.
        Private Sub ConfigureCrystalReports()
            If (Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") Is Nothing) Then
                hierarchicalGroupingReport = New ReportDocument()
                hierarchicalGroupingReport.Load(Server.MapPath("Hierarchical Grouping.rpt"))
                Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport") = hierarchicalGroupingReport
            Else
                hierarchicalGroupingReport = CType(Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport"), ReportDocument)
            End If
            myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = hierarchicalGroupingReport
        End Sub
    In the Form Unload of the Viewer:
                'Take the report out of session
                Session("hierarchicalGroupingReport")  = Nothing
                Session.Contents.Remove("hierarchicalGroupingReport")
                'Clean up the ReportDocument object
                hierarchicalGroupingReport.Close
                hierarchicalGroupingReport.Dispose()
                hierarchicalGroupingReport = Nothing
                GC.Collect()

  • Cannot view Crystal Report in JSP page ( error loading ? )

    Hi,
              Can someone please help or pass on any suggestions,
              I am trying to view my crystal report (test.rpt) in my JSP page but get the following error and im having trouble sorting it out. I am using Crystal 10 with weblogic.

  • New Machine: Application no longer exports Crystal Reports

    I have a web application that was written in C#. We build and debug the application locally on Windows XP machines. Recently we got new machines, which were loaded with XP, but now with service pack 3 instead of service pack 2.
    On the new machine, I installed the web application from VSS and it is working quite well.
    The only problem is, Crystal Reports will not export on this new machine. What am I missing?
    The error I get when I try to export the reports is:
    Error in File C:\directory\reportname.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters.
    Keep in mind that the application runs fine on the old machine, reports and all. I have searched and searched for a solution to this problem to no avail.
    The error is thrown on this line:
    rClass.FormatEngine.ExportToStream(req);
    I went so far as to give 'Everyone' full control over the entire file system on the machine to see if there was a permissions issue, but that didn't work at all.
    Funny thing is, when I add:
    oRpt.SetDatabaseLogon("username", "password");
    the report exports without a hitch. We don't have that line of code in the application on our other machines and the reports export just fine.
    PLEASE HELP! Many thanks.

    Crystal Reports has a 3 concurrent processing licenses. Basically it can process 3 users reports simultaneously the other users will be queued until one of the concurrent licenses are released or time-out hit. Now this is different then the job limit there is also a maximum number of print jobs; a print job is not equal to a Processing license. A report with a single subreport in the report header will take two print jobs to run. More subreports or subreports in a repeating section will require more jobs to run the report.
    Depending on the complexity of the reports you can get anywhere from 3 (for really complex long running reports) to upwards of 20 (for really light reports) users running reports through a web application. If you are going to be server much more then 20 users I would suggest moving to a Report Application Server (RAS) based application.
    Technically a web application that does not close and dispose the report object that runs a report with no database connectivity and only a single text box that reads "hello world" could serve your max print job limit, but would only run 3 users at a time. However this is pretty rarely the case.
    So upping your max print jobs from 75 to 1000 may not do anything but create more load on the system (more jobs kept alive) draining resources and slowing the processing jobs down.

  • Dashboard based on Crystal Report's Latest instances for the logged in user

    Hi,
    I am trying design a dashboard based on LiveOffice-crystal report's latest instance for the logged in user. Also there is row level security in the universe on which the crystal reports is created.
    In the live office connection i have selected 'latest instance by current user' in the refresh option and published the dashboard to InfoView.
    when i open the dashboard in InfoView , i find the row level restrictions being applied for different users. But the data retrived is always on-demand data and not based on the latest instance of the logged in users.
    Can anyone throw some light on this issue.
    Thanks

  • Mail barcode support in Crystal Reports 2008 - does it really exist?

    We are looking to add mail bar codes to our existing reports.  The cover letter of the report includes a mailing label and we would like to add a mail bar code underneath it.  I called 888-229-2276 yesterday and explained what I wanted to do.  I was instructed to download a trial version from the website and take a look at the help as this feature was added in Crystal Reports 2008.  The help didn't explain much more than right click the fieled you want to bar code and select the Bar Code option listed.  What this created was a regular bar code that looks like a UPC you would find in the grocery store.  I tried both Azalea fonts, but got the same result.
    How does one create an Intelligent Mail barcode or PostNet barcode?

    Having dealt with both PostNet and Intelligent Mail Barcodes (IMB), using CR XI R1, here are a couple of things that might shed some light:
    1.  PostNet and IMB are vastly different, so you choose which one you want to generate.  PostNet requires some calculation based on the zipcode and/or zip+5 whereas IMB requires specific information such as Mailer ID etc assigned to your company by USPS. 
    2.  You can download a PostNet font, which can be found on the web as shareware etc.  IMB font can be downloaded from USPS for free.  For more info on IMB check out [https://ribbs.usps.gov/index.cfm?page=intellmailmailpieces]
    3.  IMB is very specific to your company and as such requires a thorough understanding of the type of mail you will be sending and if it is bulk or BRM etc etc.  It would be better to consult with the USPS customer rep for your company to determine if IMB is appropriate for you.
    4.  PostNet is a breeze compared to IMB.  All you need do is determine if the barcode will be based on zip or zip+5 and delivery point codes which determines if the barcode will contain 32, 52 or 62 bars.  You then download the font from the web and off you go.  Information on how to calculate/generate PostNet barcodes is all over the internet, the key is downloading the font.
    I bet it is all clear as mud but feel free to post if you have more questions.

  • Help required for our Crystal Reports billing reports

    Hi there, excuse me if this is the wrong location to make this post, just registered today and in need of help. We employee an in house developer and use Crystal Reports 2008, Service Pack 3 and have a couple of issues using Crystal Reports effecting the bills we email out to our clients and hoping someone can advise or point us in the direction of a partner who is an expert in this area.
    Issues are:
    We use a background colour for each section of our customers bill. When a section rolls over on to another page i.e. multiple sections we cant get the background colour grow to the bottom of the page. For example the customer sees the background colour stop possibly 1/2 way down the page.
    Intermittently about 30% of the time where the customer has more than 2 pages we get a blank page inserted with nothing but has our logo in the same position.
    Displaying $ figures using the default currency format on to the bill shows negative figures with the $ in front of the - i.e. $-2.81 instead of -$2.81
    We have an issue occasionally the last line on the bottom of a page changes the thickness of the line and also the position i.e. the line appears lighter & sometimes indented about 10mm.
    We would love to apply a banner down the right hand side of our landscaped page however the bill is broken into sections which we understand we cant have a full length banner? Open to ideas.
    Thank you for any direction on how to resolve these issues, we have been living with them for 3 years. As mentioned above happy to pay for any expert to help us through this or refer to a partner.
    Thanks again
    Dwayne

    To add to Jamie's post. Updating to Service Pack 7 will not be a bad idea either. You will have to contact sales: 866-681-3435or Customer Interaction Center: SAP Service Marketplace Content Page to get the SP.
    Other than that, one question per Discussion would be great. SCN Rules of Engagement.

  • Crystal Reports Server 2011 and BW 7 as a data source for uploaded reports.

    Hello,
    I am hoping someone can provide me with a clear answer for this.
    Lets assume..
    1. We are running crystal reports server 2011 and BW 7
    2. We want to publish a report in the BI Launch pad so users can view it
    3. Can we create a crystal report in the report designer with the data source as BW 7 then upload it to the reports server and have it run on-demand and Run over night?
    Can anyone shed some light in this area?
    kind regards
    david

    Hi,
    Crystal Reports Server is not supporting the SAP Integration Kit. You will need BusinessObjects Edge or BusinessObjects Enterprise

  • Format Column Header in Crosstab Query in Crystal Reports for Enterprise

    Hi
    I am using Crystal reports for Enterprise and I would like to format the Column header of a crosstab query one block of colour say light blue.  However I cannot select the header in isolation to the rest of the cross tab.  All I can select is either column text boxes, which doesnu2019t look good formatted as a different colour to the background of the crosstab.  Or I can only select either entire column or the entire row, which kind of defeats the object of formatting just the column header itself.  Is there a way to isolate the column headers so I can format just the header, as the report is looking extremely bland all in white?
    Many Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Neil

    Alright, here's what you need to do:
    1) RIght-click one of the Column Headers and select 'Format Result Object Element' > Appearance > click on the formula button (fx) beside 'Fill' and use this code:
    if currentrowindex < 0 then crBlue
    You wanted light blue right? So, the rgb value for light blue or sky blue would be 135-206-250. So, you can change the color by modifying the formula like this:
    if currentrowindex < 0 then color(135,206,250)
    If this is not the exact blue you're after, just google!
    Hope this helps!

    No. The tools are too different.

  • Schedule Crystal Reports

    There are a range of crystal reports written in version 11.5 .  Some access SAP tables, others access Lotus Notes tables via ODBC drivers.
    There is a requirement to schedule some reports to run monthly.
    Is there a means of scheduling reports?  Can the resulting listings be e-mailed to users?

    Depends. You have at least two options (Ido may have others related to 3rd party software).
    As you mentioned, BOE or BI is an option.
    So is SAP Crystal Reports Server (CRS).
    The above will depend on the loads you are expecting. Think of CRS as a light version of BOE. As far as sizing, etc.; you're best to talk to sales who can then recommend the best product for your needs. Sales ph: 866-681-3435

  • Image shadow in crystal report

    Hello expert:
    in my crystal report, there are a few images, but those images are attached with light grey shadow in following situcations:
    (1) when I export this report into PDF file from CR 2008
    (2) when I display this report in infoview
    (3) when I export this report into PDF file from infoview
    (4) when I print this report from infoview.
    but for the following case, there is no shadow for those images
    (1) I print this report directly in CR 2008
    (2) print this report into PDF file, then print this PDF file
    I want to create PDF file for this report. and also remove shadow for those images in the PDF file? Appreciate very much.

    Thanks for your reply
    The issue is the pictures (e.g. employee photos) are saved in Database as BLOB data type.
    The report is loading employee photo into the report (e.g. employee card), but the loaded picture is coming up with much less quality than the original.

  • Difference between Crsytal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4

    difference between Crystal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0?
    I think Crystl Reprt 2011 has more function, is it right?

    Hi,
    I recently attended a SAP Virtual trianing on SAP Business Objects BI 4.0.
    Here are few extracts from that which probably shows some light to you:
    SAP Crystal Reports 2011
    1. UI and associated processing servers remain the same as CR 2008
    2. Incremental update to CR 2008 with a few new features*
    3. Continue to provide current CR 2008 functionality as-is for existing customers
    SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0
    1. Major update & redesign of the Crystal Reports Designer and associated processing servers
    2. Focus on streamlined report design, reporting against BI 4.0 Universe, & reporting against SAP BW data
    3. Provide the foundation for all future releases of Crystal Reports
    Differences between these two releases:
    Data Source & Usage Type                                       General Recommendation
    1. SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0                                        SAP Crystal Reports Relational Universe (UNX) for Enterprise
    OLAP Universe (UNX)
    2. SAP NetWeaver BW 7 BEx Query (BICS)                    SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise
    3. SAP NetWeaver BW 3.5 BEx Query                             SAP Crystal Reports 2011
    4. SAP Profitability Cost Management                              SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise through Analysis View
    SAP Strategy Management
    SAP Budget, Planning and Consolidation
    SAP Extended Analytics
    5. Platform Driven Alerting                                                SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise
    6. Business Views                                                           SAP Crystal Reports 2011
    7. Direct RDBMS or OLAP access                                    SAP Crystal Reports 2011
