Crystal Reports - Page Break/Create Address Labels

Problem description:
I am creating a letter writer function for a Windows application. The how-to documentation I have is not providing the necessary step(s) for showing one record per page. From what I have gathered there is a page break function, however, I have not been able to implement it. I have set up a Crystal report in a .Net 2008 (Visual Basic) application with a Section 5 (Page Footer) and need to break and start a new page at this point. One page per letter (record) for multiple letter distributions.
I also need specific instructions on how to create an address label maker for this application. So far I was able to include a Crystal Reports form set up specifically for address labels but not to make it work.
Since the application will be distributed this is not a machine specific issue.

Problems starting Crystal Reports Page Server and Report Application Server

Hi,
We have migrated to a new server and I have re-installed our Crystal Reports Server XI R1.
It is being installed on a Windows 2003 SBS Premium Server with MSSQL 2005 Workstation Edition
I have been told that I need to start the following Crystal services after installation.
1) Crystal Reports Page Server
2) Report Application Server
These services simply wont start
When I try to start Crystal Reports Page Server, I get a Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger window that says...
An unhandled Win32 exception occured in pageserver.exe [14892], subsequently, another window pops up [svrmgr] that says
"The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"
Also, when I try to start the Report Application Server, I get another VS JIT debugger window that says
An unhandled win32 exception occurred in crystalras.exe [12748]
I also get the same SvcMgr Window that says..."The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"
Thanks all

Hello Paul,
I recommend to post this question to [the dedicated BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration forum|BI Platform;.
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Report page break not correct in browser

Hi all
I have 150+ reports that I am converting from 6i to 10g. These repors print correctly in 6i (client SErver) with page break at proper places. When I run the same report on web, the page breaks in the reports are converted to lines in the html output. Also the page headers appearin the middle of the page. Page break seems to be controlled by the browser and not by report. How do I make the report page break the same way as in 6i.
any help is appreciated. We are in the middle of testing and the users will not sign off until this is resolved.

SET
System parameter MODE = Default
On Report Level Property Sheet
Under Report Escapes
SET After Page Value =
<table style="page-break-before: always;height=0"></table>
Run reports as DESFORMAT=HTML
This will resolve the Page Break issue.
Unfortunately, printing reports from browser will generate a blank last page.
Perhaps the command line parm BLANKPAGES=NO will work for you...
I am told it does not work because printing is a browser issue not a reports issue...

Create address labels in Pages

How do I import an Avery address label template into Pages?

Thanks, Peter. That should work. I actually wound up following the advice from someone elsewhere on the forum who recommended I go to the Avery site for Design Pro. Worked pretty well for what I needed.

Is there a way to create address labels using data from a Numbers document?

I'd like to print mailing labels for holiday cards and my wife created the list in a Numbers spreadsheet.
Is there any way to export to Pages or some other label printing application?
Thanks.

Righty-ho. This is based on a spreadsheet like this with named columns in Numbers 3.5. (The rows must be consecutive - the script moves on as soon as it sees an empty row):
With the spreadsheet open, run the following AppleScript. It will create a group called Christmas List in Contacts, and then import the name and address data from the spreadsheet, adding each person to the group:
tell application "Numbers" to tell front document to tell active sheet to tell table 1
set all_contacts to {}
set row_count to count rows
repeat with each_row from 2 to row_count
set nu_contact to {}
set first_name to value of cell each_row of column "First"
if first_name is missing value then exit repeat
copy first_name to end of nu_contact
copy (value of cell each_row of column "Last") to end of nu_contact
copy (value of cell each_row of column "Address1") to end of nu_contact
copy (value of cell each_row of column "Address2") to end of nu_contact
copy nu_contact to end of all_contacts
end repeat
end tell
tell application "Contacts"
set group_exists to (every group whose name is "Christmas List")
if the result is {} then
make new group at end of groups
set name of the result to "Christmas List"
save
end if
repeat with each_contact in all_contacts
activate
set nu_person to (make new person with properties {first name:item 1 of each_contact, last name:item 2 of each_contact})
save
make new address at end of addresses of nu_person with properties {street:item 3 of each_contact, city:item 4 of each_contact}
save
add nu_person to group "Christmas List"
save
end repeat
end tell
Contacts will look like this:
With the Christmas List group selected in Contacts, go to the Print menu and choose the label format you want:
Once the labels are printed, select all the names in the Christmas List Group and press the delete key:
Click the middle "Delete" button and the contacts will be gone.You can then delete the Christmas List group itself.
This can also be done in Numbers 09, but the script would have to be modified slightly.
Hope it helps,

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 Reports 2008 Pie Chart Data Labels

Hi,
I've been trying to figure out why I cannot get the option to put pie chart data labels in the center of each slice. There's an option to place them there, but everytime I select it, the graph reverts to putting the data labels on the outside with leader lines. I was able to do it once, for one pie chart, but have not been able to get it to work for any others. I've even tried creating a pie with only two slices in case there's a slice size limit below which the data is placed outside. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason why it worked once and now won't work again.
Thanks,
-Jim
Edited by: jwmckay on Apr 23, 2010 7:19 PM

Hi Jim,
The issue could be faced because of the 'Auto-arrange' layout option enabled from Chart Expert within the report.
This option allows Crystal Reports to reset the chart layout to its original size and position
To uncheck the 'Auto-arrange option':
- First Go to Chart Expert-
- Click on the Options Tab
- Uncheck Auto - Arrange
- Click OK
I hope this helps,

Crystal Report Page Control error...

Using Visual Studio 2008, Crystal Reports 2008
I am trying to build report interaction features like group expand,collapse, show hidden section etc at run time into my application that is based on VS 2008 and Crystal 2008 .
I have had good success and the Crystal Viewer exhibits expected behavior if I do not meddle with the sections of the Page control of the viewer. Instead if I just remove the Page control from the viewer and add a new one that is passed by a run time viewer that I create on the fly just to get the new Page control. Unfortunately, this approach causes the report viewer control to do a momentarily disappearance act that makes the whole thing look less intuitive.
As a work around, I just pass the sections of Page control that I have created on the fly to the actual viewer and follow it changing the Zooming scale marginally on the page control of the actual viewer on the form. This causes the Page control to reflect all the changes that I have done on the page control of the run time viewer and works like a charm without any flicker or refresh like behavior.
But the good things stop here, as apparently, the Page control holds a different collection of section instances and report object instances than the one is displayed on report.
Clicking on most of the objects after this change causes the below exception. The whole concept falls flat and I do not want to use the adding/removing page control approach as it not intuitive at all.
All the subs mentioned in the error log are protected crystal procedures. That leaves me with no option but to wait for a reply for the experts at SAP.

Faisal

Thanks a ton for the help and suggestions...
Actually, I figured out a new approach where I don't have to meddle with the individual sections of the PageObject object of the viewer Page control and then leave it to the mercy of the Crystal engine, if it likes what I done to the viewer object. But it does not negate the fact that the Crystal engine behaves funny if the PageObject sections of the viewer control are added or modified. You may argue that calling report refresh will fix it but then it is not an option when you are building user interaction feature to a report.

Group above master/detail report; page break causes repeat of master frame

Hi
I have a a group above master/detail report; when there is a page break part way through the master frame it causes the whole master frame to be repeated on the next page. I don't want this to happen, I just want the remainder of the master frame to be displayed on the next page. any ideas?
TIA

Hi
I've tried switching the "Page Protect" to No at the page level and the "Print Object On" is set to "First Page" but it doesn't solve the problem. The whole master frame is repeated on the next page when a page break occurs part way through. The master/detail Repeating Frame "Print Object On" is set to "Last Page".
Any other ideas?
TIA

Display structure in crystal report using structure created in BEx.

I created a structure in BEx query designer and trying to display the structure as a hierarchy in crystal report.
Iam not able to accomplish it. the crystal report is displaying the structure with no nodes. please help

Hi,
in case you created a BEx query with 2 structure - one for keyfigures and one as characteristic structure - then the structure for the characteristics will result in Crystal REports using the BW MDX Driver as a single field and each element of the structure will result in a row of data.

Orage reports - page break before

Hi
Can any more experience devolpers help? I have a group above report that I wish the group to either page break after or page break before. If I set page break before then the group only prints on page 2 onwards. If I set page break after it prints on page 1 ok but then the report total always prints on its own on the last page.

Hi,
sounds like there's no child object for your object with page break before. This property has only impact of the object itself and all it's child objects. An object is a child object of another object, if the position of this objects has impact of the own position. This is only the case, if the parent object is vertical expandable and the child object is horizontally overlapping the virtual expand-region, or the child-object is anchored to the parent object.
So if you have this layout:
blue box fixed size
red box fixed size
yellow box fixed size
and you set page break before to the red box, you will get:
blue box
yellow box
-- page break
red box
If the red box is verical expandable you will get:
blue box
--page break*
red box
yellow box
So in your tabluar report your field of the report should be in a frame and this frame should be child object of your new object which must be vertical expandable or anchor them together.

Xml report:Page break issue

Hi I am working on PO Printing Report.There are mainly three section .1 is Header part which contains informaition like Bill to Address Ship to address,vendor address payment terms etc,middle part contais lots of information like header notes,supplier header note,note to vendor ,ship instruction,line notes ,if po cancelled then its informaition,if any line gets cancelled than the same information , all lines for this PO and many more.After this section we have footer like part which have total column and signature.The total and signature are dynamic.i.e should appean in last page only.The last page of report for a PO conatains a image Terms And Condtion.
Now problem is as there are lots of data in middle part ,It pushes the footer part to the next page.I need to break the page after certain height of table or certain no of records in table so as to have footer remain in each page.
Is there any way to fix no of records in middle part or calculate heigth of table at run time ...when it reaches to its max height ,I break the page.
Or I include the footer section in page footer but as its dynamic How can I get total column value and signature url dynamically.
Please suggest me how to achieve this.....

Welcome to the forum !
I don't see your report, but I'm almost sure that one of your data exceeds field size. To fix it, try set for all your report items (frames, fields, repeating frames) vertical elasticity to variable and horizontal elasticity to fixed. It should fix your problem. Afterwards you can investigate which filed/frame causes an error, setting back elasticity of your items
