Crystal Reports Schedule using Batch File

Hi,
I am trying to automatically export Crystal Reports using a Batch file and Windows Task Scheduler. It sucessfully opens Crystal, but doesn't perform the export.
"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11.5\crw32.exe" "C:\reportname.rpt" /X 36 /D 1 /FN "C:\report export name.xls"
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

Hello,
Sorry but CR doesn't support command line running of reports. You can use Crystal Reports Server, Businessobjects Enterprise or some third party tool that uses Crystal runtime.
Thank you

Crystal report scheduling error

Hello,
We are getting this error Intermittently, "login error. [CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged]: [Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.]" when we schedule crystal report to file location. I had checked the user name and password and access to the file location, they are fine. We have scheduled this report to run daily, but somedays it throws the above error and somedays it runs fine. Any ideas please?
Thanks,

Rakesh,

How generate a crystal reports layout for Batch Report

Dear Experts,
I want to create a crystal reports layout for Batch Report that appears when printing Delivery Note.
I've tried using DocKey@ token but it only works in the delivery note layout itself. The following code at the select expert for this crystal layout doesn't work:
{ODLN.DocEntry} = {?DocKey@}
Kindly guide me in the above issue. Thanks.

I am using version 8.8 SP.00 PL.10
It is very strange that I cannot get the layout connected to the database as I have followed the same steps for all layouts. It all works fine until I get to the invoice stage and then I cannot make the connection.
(I dont need to worry about the sales invoice as this was provided at installation point by our vendor)

hi Atil,

Now I am working on netbackup server. I want to use the same script to initiate backup from netbackup server. Do you have any idea or any guidelines from you will appriciate.
Thanks
AshishAshish,
Is it "symantec's netbackup"? I do not know that product and if it has an option to enter your own RMAN scripts. On the other hand, it should be able to create irman scripts according to your backup job definition.

How to publish crystal report designed using SAP Add-on toolbar

we have installed the crystal report designer V10 and the SAP add-on on the desktop.
we have designed a formatted report in crystal report designer using an existing BW report that was created using Bex query designer. After this we saved the crystal report back in BW to a role.
We have not published the report to crystal enterprise server, since the connection to same is not in place.
We would like to know how to publish this report in Enterprise portal ?
Can we bypass publishing the report to crystal enterprise server and publish the report on browser or through EP ?

How to schedule the Batch file to run from task scheduler

Hello Everyone,
I have a batch file which kills the wscript.exe process, I am doing this manually, I need to schedule this batch file to run from task scheduler whenever the process wscript.exe reaches to specific numbers, i.e if the wscript.exe process count in task
manager reaches to 30, the task schedular should execute this batch file,
Is there a way to do so.
dibu

Hi,
àI need to schedule
this batch file to run from task scheduler whenever the process wscript.exe reaches to specific numbers.
As I know, it will not help you to achieve this target via Scheduled Task. When configure Scheduled Task, there
seems no Trigger option that help you specify this condition (process counts reaches to specific numbers) to trigger the batch file.
You could consider that improve this batch file. Adding the
Check function to the script will be a better option. For script issue, you can post it in the
Official Scripting Guys Forum. I believe we will get a better assistance there.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Crystal Report That Uses Stored Procedure Errors when connecting to the DB

We had developed reports a few years ago, including one that calls a Stored Procedure on an iSeries AS400 DB2 database. We upgraded our environments to Crystal Reports 2008 and BO XI 3.1. Now, the existing report that previously ran in the old environment is not running (note that the other SQL-based reports work without a problem, only this one which uses a store procedure is not working). I downloaded the report into my local Crystal Reports designer and tried to run it from there and I got the following error message:
======
Failed to retieve data from the database.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x
Source Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Description: [IBM][iSeries Access ODBC Driver] Statement violates access rule: Connection is set to read only.
SQL State: 37000
Native Error: [Database Vendor Code: 30186 ]
======
{CALL "<database>"."<library>"."RELEASEDNOTINVOICE"({d '2010-03-01'})}
This call will still work from on a SQL client running on a JDBC connection. Is there some problem with the new verion of BO and Crystal Reports with using the iSeries ODBC driver?

...my issue was resolved by setting the ODBC.INI registry entry for AllowProcCalls from 0 to 1.

How to use oracle functions in Crystal Reports XI using Oracle Server

Hi all,
Is it possible to use oracle functions in Crystal Reports XI using Oracle Server as Data Source.
If i try to use a procedure,i am getting error with message "Invalid Arguement Provided".
Functions are not visible objects like tables,views and stored procedures.
The jdbs driver i m using is oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.

I think it is not possible to add functions in crystal directly for any database. You need to use those functions in a stored procedure and add that storedprocedure as a datasource.

How to use batch files to send the load from ODC to UCM?

Hello all.
We're trying to do this along this week and, until now, we couldn't figure out how to use batch files containing metada on ODC and commit the output files to UCM.
So these are our specs:
VM 1
ODC - 10gR3
OS - Windows XP 32 bits SP3
DB - Oracle DB 11.2
VM 2
No ODC
UCM 11.1.1.6
OS - Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Carthage)
We've opened a ticket with Oracle Support to know how we should do this. The number is SR 3-6108348211.
Let me try to explain what we want to do:
1 - we have a batch file with all metadata of many files from UCM
2 - we want to use this file in ODC, so the application will convert the images and commit them to UCM
3 - we should see all these files, their metadata, thumbnails and related content in UCM
4 - this is a batch file example we want to send to ODC:
@Properties LocalData
IdcService=CHECKIN_UNIVERSAL
dRevLabel = 1
primaryFile=/tra/Relatorio_UHPF-03-04-2008-M-RL-EA.pdf
dDocName=TRA_33
dDocTitle=UHPF-03-04-2008-M-RL-EA
dSecurityGroup=MAM_TRA
dDocType=Document
dDocAuthor=luis.neotropical
dInDate=14/05/08
xC_CLASSIFICACAO=EA - Educação Ambiental
xC_DATA=01/04/08
xC_DATAVALIDADE=30/04/08
xC_LOCALIZACAOFISICA=N/D
xC_USUARIO_DEP=LUIS FERNANDO DA CAMARA
xC_TIPO=RL - Relatório
xC_USINA=UHPF - USINA HIDRELÉTRICA PASSO FUNDO
xC_FICHA=MAM - Relatorios Ambientais
xC_IDDOCMAN=TRADocID=157
xC_IDANEXODOCMAN=TRAFileID=33
xC_DESTINOINICIAL=Tractebel
xC_ORIGEM=Neotropical
xC_FORMATODOCUMENTO=Digital
xC_GENERODOCUMENTO=
xC_DOCPRINCIPAL=Sim
@end
<<EOD>>
5 - So, when we use this batch file on ODC, the file (or image) will be converted, all metadata attached and then sent to UCM.
But we don't know how to do the link between ODC and UCM. The Oracle Support says it is necessary to do some customization. In the books I could not find any info about how to do, just generic information or how to use ODC.
Is there a way (without customization) to do that? Can anyone give us a step-by-step guide?
Thanks for all help and guidance.
Fernando

What is the one-sentence requirement or issue you're trying to solve?
If you only want content to be converted to pdf, then you should already have that with your items checked into UCM (if you have IBR enabled).
if you really want to feed content into ODC using a batchfile, my first thought would be to create a transformation utility/app that will convert your batchfiles to the expected ODC import server folder job format. then you'll have to move or map the content to match.
Again, without knowing the exact issue/business requirement you're trying to work through, I'd say a redesign of your ingestion process may be in order.
If you feed content directly into ODC through any supported ODC method (watch folder, email, scanner, fax, etc), then you'll be able to use everything ootb as you'll be able to auto-commit directly into UCM or add an indexing step and manual commit to UCM.
ODC is basically a front end for indexing and extra ingestion options to your content repo.
IPM is basically the same, but it includes some extra process-related details (process metadata, process integrations/bpel/bpm, other system integrations/ebs/crm, etc). I don't feel that IPM would help with the transformation-specific question you've put out there.

Problem on using batch file

Hi,
I have an application which reads data from a text and writes them to a database. I should use batch files in my project to work classes with double clicking on them. Java application reads path of the text file from a properties file. I used relative paths like that " ..\\data\\records.txt" for text file path . But my problem is that; when I run application normally it executes. But when I tried to run it from batch file placed build folder(under project folder) it does not work. Because it tries to find the data folder under the build folder. But data folder is under parent folder of build folder. My batch file code is like that :
SET PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
SET LIB_PATH=..\lib
SET CLASSPATH=%LIB_PATH%\mysql-connector-java-3.0.17-ga-bin.jar;..\bin;..\
java.exe yega.timesheet.MainApplication ..\\configuration\\properties.props
pause
Which statements should I add(and where) to make this batch file search for data folder under its parent folder... Please help me.
Thank you.

Thanks Paul, but I tried to use cd before running program. I added "cd .." or "cd ..\" lines to batch file but they didn't work. I decided to use absolute path instead of using relative paths. I also found one more solution. I can put a properties file in build too. And define text path as " ..\\data\\records.txt " in this properties file.
Also I need to use "\\" because "..\\configuration\\properties.props" is the input for args...

Financial Reporting - Scheduling a Batch to Output/Email an Excel File

We're using version 9 and have no good way to systematically schedule a batch report and have the output saved/emailed as an Excel file, only pdf. Is this functionality in version 11? Has anyone developed creative alternatives?
Thanks

You may be able to utilize Excel and SmartView VBA features to achieve the same goal as this. With enhanced security in the newer realeases of Excel automacally sending emails could be a bit tricky, but if you look around on the web you should be able to find something with this ability. I'm not sure that you could use an FR report, but a report utilizing HSGetValue or ad-hoc functionality should function.

Schedule CF Template - Use Batch File?

Is there a way to execute a CF template through a batch file?
I have a small cf template that Im going to schedule to run about
every 5 minutes, but I was hoping there was away around using the
CF Scheduler. Anyone have any ideas?

What OS are you using? You can get wget and curl for Solaris,
Linux, OSX, Windows, and others:
wget
website
wget http://localhost/mytemplate.cfm -o outputfile.txt
curl website
curl http://localhost/mytemplate.cfm -o outputfile.txt
There are tons of options for each utility. I've found curl
to be more flexible, but wget is more reliable.
On any POSIX system, you can use cron and a shell script. On
Windows, you'll have to go with AT jobs and a .bat file.
