Crystal Reports - OLE image maintain correct proportions

I'm using a CR 2008 to report off of a Oracle database.
The report consists of a three images per page.
The image comes from an OLE object which shows the image dynamically from an image path field as the graphic location.
My images are not all the same size.... Some are taller and some are wider than others.
So when these images display in a set area, some get squashed vertically and others horizontally. It's important tha the images maintain the correct aspect ratios.
I've played with "size and position", "can grow", "scaling" and "size", but still can't seem to make the scaling and proportions work for all my images.
Any advice from the experts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Jason, Dale
I have tried a multitude of different (and some crazy) combinations of parameters etc. I've also tried sub-reports wtih different parameters.
Nothing seems to work to include various sized images into a fixed frame and maintain proprtionality. It's a frustrating issue.
For new development of images that will be include in the report the image must meet the very strict size requirements. This is the only way to manage the image inclusion.
Thank you Jason for the link to some re-sizing software - this will be good to use with historic images.
If there is anyone out there that has some different ideas on how to handle this let us all know....... Please
Kindest regards
Karen

Crystal Reports with images aren't displayed in the InfoView

Hi everybody,
I have a problem with my Crystal reports and its display in the info view. If the reports include images from the repository, the reports aren't displayed when hit in the BO-InfoView.
This errors does not occur if there are just images in the report. Only the combination of images, embedded XCelsius-SWFs and data from the defined data sources causes the problem.
Instead of the correct report, I get a white blank screen.
Versions:
Business Objects XI 3.0
Crystal Reports 12.0
Internet Explorer 6.0.29
Thanks for helping

Hi everybody,
I installed version 3.1.
Problem is now solved.

Receiving Error when running Crystal reports with Images in WebSphere 6.1

I am designing a report with a sub report that displays images via (BLOBS). The images are between 10-20 kb in size and there could be up to 200 images in the report.
There are no problems when I run the report using Java 1.5 with Tomcat 5.5 server and JDBC connection (using ojdbc14.jar) to an Oracle 10g database.
It seems that if I attempt to run the same report on a WebSphere 6.1 environment, the below error is encountered (stack trace is below)
I am using Crystal 2008 (ver 12.0.0.683).
Based on the stack trace, I think it is either an IBM JDK javax.* package compatibility issue or the current version of Crystal reports (no service packs installed - current client environment) has a known issue with Websphere.
I searched the forums for any similiar issues but could not find one.
Could installing Service pack 3 solve this issue or is there another possibility?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Tony.

Thank you for your reply.
The answer to your question concerning if Websphere is a clean install is no. The client has other applications running on that server. We do not have access to that server other than the log files and I requested information as to what other applications are on the server.
We did try adding a known working version of the IIOMetadata class in the ear file and deploying it in the hopes that class will be loaded before using any other version. Unfortunately, we receive the posted errors. Which may mean that a different version of the class has already been loaded in memory and that is the one being accessed. A request would have to be made to the client for a shutdown and restart of Websphere in determining if that may be the case. Since there are other applications running, coordination and communication to the other application owner will need to be done first.
Any additional ideas will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Crystal Report XI not updating correctly within CR Server

Greetings. I have a report that I have created using Crystal Reports XI. I then have published it and set it up within Crystal Reports SERVER to automatically run on a daily basis. The report automatically runs with no errors, however, when you look at the data, it does not reflect the current database - instead shows the data from whever it was published. Thus, the reports look like they are updated daily, however the information inside shows that they are not.
Any help/tips/advice on what to look for to fix this problem would greatly help! I'm new to Crystal Reports Server.
Thanks,
Pam

I have them set up on the Crystal Reports side, then when I publish them, the database information is "grayed out", so the reports initially don't run once published. So, I then log into the CMS using the ADMIN password and set the database parameters. The reports run fine and the data is saved with the report (only if I publish the report with the data saved). However, the next day (assuming you have daily reoccurence setup), the report is the initially published contents, not the "refresh".
I am probably missing some "simple" step...but being a newbie to this, I'm obviously missing it! Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Crystal Report Some images Broken occassionally

Hi,
In the report, there are about 10-50 jpg images (each are below 200k) and the images are store in SQL Server 2005 as a image bytes format. All of these images can be viewed in the web application (.net) and when I generate the report, sometimes (just below 5% chance) that 1-2 of these images are broken. I check the broken link and it looks like:
http://xx.xx.xx.xx/CrystalImageHandler.aspx?dynamicimage=cr_tmp_image_f16b46a8-1848-4b4b-b739-ebb7d966b176.png
I check that image is really inside the db and the client web application can view that image. The problem can be fixed by the client uploading the same image into the db again.
Any suggestion or hints are really appreciated.
Andrew

Moving layers while maintaining correct proportions

I make patterns using Photoshop CS2 and Elements 7. I want to be able to make files ( which are usually 1 inch) then drag many of them to a 8 X 10 inches blank page to print. This is to conserve special paper. I have a problem with layers changing size when dragged to the 8 x10 sheet. How can I correct this? I have used the help option in both programs but I don’t think I am using the correct terminology to find the answer. My operating systems is Windows 7.
Thank you for any help
Nikki

Set up your pixel counts and pixels/inch values in all your documents correctly ahead of time and the pattern images will be the right size when you place them on the "master" image.
For example, if you want 8 images across your page at 600 ppi, do this:
Create your master document at 8 inches x 10 inches at 600 ppi.
Create your individual pattern documents at 1 inches x 1 inches at 600 ppi.

Unable to view images in the crystal reports on a jsp

Hi folks,
I am unable to view any image (not even the ones like businessobjects logo) in the crystal reports fetched from the CMS. I am able to fetch the report properly. But I don;t get to see the images in the reports.
If anyone of you know how to fix it. Kindly post it. It's urgent.
PS: It would be great if you could kind of share a check list of things that need to be taken care of while viewing a crystal report with images.

Hi Suresh,
Please check that you have crystalreportviewers11 (for version XI) or crystalreportviewers115 ( for version XI R2) folder in your BO installation and your web.xml has correct reference to it. You can copy this folder over in your web application and
Add an entry in web.xml as follows ( if it doesn't exist)
<context-param>
<param-name>crystal_image_uri</param-name>
<param-value>/<your application name>/crystalreportviewers115</param-value>
</context-param>
crystalreportviewers11\115 have images folder which contain all the images for Logo and toolbar. Check the images folder in viewers and make sure that they exist.

Printing images with Crystal Report 9

I am trying to create a Crystal report with images (and text) drawn from my collections management database (EMu), but the images have a poor quality that they are unrecognizable. The EMu images are jpegs 800 (h) x 682 (w) pixels. The tech people at EMu tried their best to resolve the problem, but finally decided the problem must lie in either how Crystal imports the images, or what it does with them afterwards. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how might we resolve it?
thanks,
Camelia

We inserted the image as an OLE Object>Media Clip>moved it to back
The Emu images are imported on my local drive; when I open the pictures they look ok, only after I run the reports with Crystal the quality of the pictures deteriorates.
thanks,
camelia

Crystal report AS ole object into word

I've been searching the web on using crystal reports as an OLE object inside a word document, but all results have been about using a word document inside a crystal report.
I am trying to create a quarterly report document for a business. This document is built using MS word. The document needs to include various tables, charts and the like, which they want to build in crystal reports so that they can be used either as part of the quarterly or as standalone reports.
I would like to embed these reports into MS Word. Ideally, every three months the reports would be updated with new parameters, the word document would be opened, and the linked OLE reports would display the updated data tables and charts.
I'm not sure if this is possible. I just attempted to embed a crystal report inside a word 2007 document, but the OLE object only showed up as an object containing the report filename, not the actual report.
Can crystal act as an ole server for a word document to do what I want it to do, or will I need to programatically export the batch of crystal reports to images in order to have them show up in the word document?

if you have business objects enterprise & live office, you can use Business Objects Live Office to embed the following from crystal reports into word or excel or powerpoint:
1) charts
2) cross tabs
3) summaries
4) fields
to name a few.
you can also use prompts in the word doc to allow you to change up the above on the fly.

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};

As this question is out of the T-SQL queue, thus I would suggest you consult Crystal Report questions to the correct forums.

Help required in embedding flash file object into Crystal Report file.

Hello,
      I use the default version of Crystal Report (i.e.'Crystal Report Basic For Visual Studio 2008 - version 10.5' ) which is the part of 'Visual Studio 2008', to create and display the Report. Further, as a requirement, I have to show 'Event Video' into the Report. But, as this default version of Crystal Report does not support Flash File, I uninstalled it and downloaded and installed the 30 days trial version of the Crystal Report (i.e. Crystal Report 2008 - version 12.0).
      Then, I created a new Crystal Report File using 'Crystal Report 2008 Designer', embedded the video as a Flash File(i.e. SWF file) into it. Now, when I add this newly created Crystal Report File into my sample application, which is created using VS 2008, it does not shows the embedded video.
      So, can anybody please tell me, how can I embed the Flash File into Crystal Report, so that it will be visible in the sample application?
I would like to appreciate your help and support.
Thanks,
-Yogesh.

Crystal Reports 2008, mySQL, JDBC, and ODBC

Hello everyone.
I have just spent a very challenging few days getting Crystal Reports 2008 Developer (advanced version) working with a mySQL data source. I fell into several pits and narrowly escaped being eaten by monsters. I thought I'd share my experience to spare others the same trouble. All the stuff I'm writing about here applies to the runtime as well as the Developer UI.
I'm working on Windows Server 2008 R2, 64 bit, standard edition. The mySQL server is 5.1.42. The mySQL ODBC connector is version 5.1.6. You need the 32-bit version of this connector, even if you're on a 64-bit machine.
Lessons learned:
1. JDBC connectivity in Crystal Reports doesn't work correctly. It consumes excessive memory when a report requires lots of rows from a data base. Don't even think about using it.
2. Crystal Reports has a problem with ODBC for mySQL in which it sometimes gives a dialog box with these words in it.
The alias requested 'SOME_TABLE_NAME', contains a combination
of characters which is not considered to be valid.
This error message come up when using items on Crystal's "Database" menu like "Set Datasource Location..."
To fix this you need to make a registry change. As far as I know this has to be done for each account on each machine running the Crystal Developer. (insert usual warning about registry editor). Find the key named:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\Database
Create a new string value named InvalidAliasCharList Give it this value:
.:{}()@&$#^!*~|%\\\"
Notice that the last two characters are backslash double-quote.
Good luck. It actually works pretty well now that it's working.
If any other community member can offer corrections or better ways of coping with this stuff, please do!

Good morning,
I was wondering if I may ask some additional help...
We're on version 14.0.4.738 RTM and we are having the same issue.... need to enter the alias as table name with a backslash, ie serparate_work_orders\ for login credential reasons, but all the regedits listed seem to refer to locations in the registry that dont exist.
Version 14 have two "database locations" from what i can see called...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseServer
I've applied the patch to both these locations and still no joy, same error message!
Any ideas?
