Crystal Reports through MSY

Hi,
I have to make a crystal report for the activities of type complaints in Mobile Sales Application through Mobile System Maintenance.
How can I create connection to databse while designing the crystal reports through Mobile System Maintenance. Are there any special settings need to be done to connect individual business object?
Thanks,
Swarna Seeta

Hello Falk,
Thanks for your response.
Here are some more details of my query.
I would like to design a crystal report through Mobile System Maintenance->Report Maintenance for the activity details. For that I need to link the business objects (BOACTIVITY) through database expert. I need the procedure to link the business object when I design the crystal report.
Hope I am clear now. Let me know any more details you need.
Thanks,

Altering schema of tables/objects inside a crystal report through API

hi all,
 We run crystal reports through a Java application (using CR4E API) connecting to Oracle database. All the tables/views within the report do not use fully qualified names (i.e. schemaName.objectName) instead they use the object name alone. Earlier we would run all the reports logging in as the schema owner and hence all the objects would be accessible without issue. Per a new requirement we now log in as a non-schema owner ID and the objects are now not accessible to this user id unless a fully qualified object is not provided as the default context schema will now be different.
 We tried altering the schema through the API like so,
 ITable origTable = null;
 ITable newTable = null;
 String DB_USER_NAME = username;
 String DB_PASSWORD = password;
 String TRUSTED_CONNECTION = "true";
 String SERVER_TYPE = "JDBC (JNDI)";
 String USE_JDBC = "true";
 String DATABASE_DLL = "crdb_jdbc.dll";
 String JNDI_DATASOURCE_NAME = jndiName;
 String CONNECTION_URL = connectionURL;
 String DATABASE_CLASS_NAME = driverName;
Tables tables = clientDoc.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables();
 for(int i = 0;i < tables.size();i++){
 origTable = tables.getTable(i);
 if (tableName == null || origTable.getName().equals(tableName)) {
 newTable = (ITable)origTable.clone(true);
 newTable.setQualifiedName("TestSchema." + origTable.getAlias()); <--- Set actual schema here but it still takes the alias as "command"
Are we doing anything wrong here? It appears that the table name is always "command", internally I think CR uses the name command for its table and we are not allowed to change it. The table name, alias and qualifier name are be default set to "command" by CR. If I append schema name to the table name I get schemaName.command as against schemaName.objectName.
Synyonyms are not an option for us for various reasons. We will not be able to go down that road no matter what. However we are looking at an API related solution here so if anyone could advise in this regard it would be very helpful.

Lindell - your response was very helpful. I was able to create a SQL Command on the subreport and change the subreport links on the main report to use the paramters in the SQL Command. The report is now very fast - even when there are lots of detail records on the main report. It is properly executing the query and not reading all 2M records into memory for each subreport.
I'm still totally confused as to why Crystal was misbehaving so poorly and changing how the subreport queried the database when the only change was the fields used for record selection on the main report. It really looks like a bug to me, but maybe someone can still enlighten me.
thanks again so much. We are in Parallel testing for a production rollout - and the users are MUCH happier now! (which of course makes me much happier!)
Susan
PS I was not aware of the SQL Command - had never used it before. Took me a little while to figure it out and how to do the linking - but it is very powerful. Thanks again.

Creating Sap Crystal Report Through Oracle Stored Procedure Packages

Hi,
1.How we can create crystal report through oracle stored
procedure packages pls tell me the steps through adding command then
tell me the syntax what should i write in command to call the stored
procedure packages or if have some other option then also tell.
2.can
we link stored procedure column to other table column that used in

Hi Ganesh,
As this error comes when you are trying to insert non-numeric value into a numeric column in db it seems that your field might be numeric and you are trying to send it as a string in database.
Please check your Store Proc carefully..

Crystal Reports with MSY in CRM 2007

Hi there
We had built some reports for CRM Mobile Sales 3.0/4.0 with Crystal Reports in Mobile System Maintanance. Then we upgraded to CRM 2007 and some people still use this old reports. Now we have found an error in one of the reports. When I want to modify the report in MSY I get the error "Error while modifying report; try again". I chose the report in MSY and I click on "Modify Report". Then I get this error and nothing happens.
Is it possible that you can't edit Crystal Reports with MSY and CRM 2007 anymore? I found no information about this, so I hope someone can help me.
What do we have to do to let Crystal Reports work with MSY in CRM 2007?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
Regards
Marco

Hi Marco,
You might get this error if the reports were developed in CRM 3.0 and you want to modify in 4.0 because the dataconnection is different. I know there is some stuff on the marketplace which describes how to connect.
May be it is a login issue and note 756331 helps.
Btw. are you working for ASK in Koblenz CH?

How to add OLE wordpad objects to a crystal report through VB program

Can we programmatically add OLE wordpad objects to a crystal report XI r 2. through VB.NET or VB6?
And is there a way of treating a database binary/blob field as an ole object in CR?

Hi Mohan,
Try it in the Designer first. If it works in the designer then it will work in our SDK's but you'll have to use RAS. So when you post your question to the .NET Development - Crystal Reports Forum be sure to specify what version you are using and anything else as far as versions go.
It may be easier to simply link the OLE Object in the designer, check the help file out on how to.
Thank you
Don

Database fields empty after creating a new (Crystal) Report in MSY

Hello,
I have some issues to use Crystal Reports in Mobile Sales Maintenance (MSY). The situation is as follows
My example is based on this standard report, which is working
Report Name: BPartnerActivities
Reporting Tool: Crystal Reports
Category: Standard reports
Subcategory: Lists
Report Type: Report
Data Source: Business Content provider
Business Content Provider: BPActivities
My requirement is to build a new report, which is based on the standard "BPartnerActivities" Report. If I use the "copy" functionality, I get an working Copy of the standard report. However, I need to modify the Business Content Provider, but I do not want to make the modifications on the standard content provider "BPActivities".
I am now forced to used the "copy" functionality to create a copy from "BPActivities" for my own Content Provider "My BPActivities copy", which I want to use in a new report.
Issue:
I cannot modify the defined Business Content Provider after using the "copy" functionality and hence forced to create a new report from scratch to be able to set a different Content Provider.
I create my own report "MyBPartnerActivities" based on the standard report "BPartnerActivities" using the same settings and assign my new business content provider.
If I use the "Design Report" or "Modify Report" button, the Crystal Report designer pops up. Now the problem, the Crystal Report designer does not offer me any data below "Database fields".
In the standard report, the "Database fields" has a child element "BOACTIVITY-ttx" with several field options. My own created report from sratch does now have anything?!
Why my report does not offer my any data or is there anything additional to do?
Another Test
I tried to create another report using the standard content provider "BPActivities", but I have still the same issue.
In addition I recongized that the "browse data" fuctionality does not work on the fields in the standard report. The path to the database file does not exist. It starts with "C:\WINNT\...", but my system has "C:\WINDOWS\...". But the executed report is able to retriev the data?!
Unfortunately was not able to find any proper documentation, but I would really appreciate any help.
Regards,
Andreas

Update
It looks like that the *.ttx file is not uploaded/create to/on the MSY system. The system shows the file in the Crystal Report Designer, but there is no file on the file system. The confusing thing is, that any standard report is still working and does not really complain about a missing ttx file. I think the content of the ttx file is somehow embeded to the report.
Does someone know how the system should behave? Should a ttx file be automatically created & assigned to any new report or do I have to create the file by my own every time?
Cheers,
Andreas

Printing crystal report through infoview in CRS XI R2

Post Author: ngk
CA Forum: Publishing
Hi ,
We are using the crystal report server xi 2 version on windows. I have my reports published and am trying to schedule them through infoview to print to a particular printer which is my default printer.
When i set the printer settings manually by typing out a printer name , it is printing it out but how can i enable it to take the default printer on my machine without having to type it in every time which is cumbersome?
Currently we are using CR 8.5 on VB and it uses DLL files to print reports and it prints to the default server without any problems and does not ask user for the default printer also. We want to achive this kind of a interface through CR XI R2 infoview.
Thanks, NGK

You don't mention here whether you are viewing your reports, OnDemand or scheduled.Either way you should be able to change the command line of the service that you are concerned with and add the switch '-trace' this may give you the information you are looking for.Depending on how you are running your reports you may want to add this switch to the Job Server, Page Server, or RAS Server service. For more info on how to add switches to your service command lines see your Administrator's Guide. Rob Horne <a href="/blog/10">Rob's blog - http://diamond.businessobjects.com/blog/10</a>

How to print crystal report through DOS

Can we print a crystal report from report viewer in text mode for dot matrix printer through command prompt

Hi
I dont think there is a specific method for printing CR in DOS.
Try the following procedure:
first make a .txt file of the report and on the click execute a .bat file which should contain the command for printing to lpt1 the required generated .txt file.Use Shell() to execute the bat file.
I hope this works for you

Running Crystal Report through web service

We are trying to build a solution using Java, which will give access of Crystal reports to users. We are trying to access using the Web Services provided by BO XI server.
I need help with couple of issues I'm facing with the consumer API -
1. When a search is performed and reports/documents are found, how to get the path (parent folder(s)) of that document?
2. How to run a report? I've tried schedule (method of BIPlatform) with 'RightNow' property (of SchedulingInfo object) to true, but it throws exception 'Pause and Resume isnt allowed'. But through CMC I can run the report on demand.

Just to give more info on what I'm doing in my code -
I'm searching for a report with it's name. Search is performed by BICatalog web service's search operation. It returns an array of BICatalogObject. Now I'm unable to find a method to get the path info of these objects. I see there's a class named PathFolder in API javadoc, but cant find a method of BICatalogObject that can return such objects.
Can anyone help me out with this?

Executing crystal reports through a shell script

We are currently in the processing of building a POC using Crystal reports and was hoping to find a way to execute canned crystal reports via a shell script. The reason being we wanted to schedule the executing of the report through our scheduler where we would build in the dependencies.
Does anyone have a simple example on how to do that.

What sort of shell script? Can you provide more info?
The only CR SDK is for .NET and Java.

Unable to view Dynamic Prompts in Crystal Reports through JSP

Hi,
We are using Crystal Reports, SQL Server and Java in our application. We are using JSP to access Crystal Reports from another machine, get them as "ReportClientDocument" objects and then display them using "CrystalReportInteractiveViewer" object. We are able to view reports with Static Paramter values, but when we try to access reports with Dynamic Parameter values the parameter fields are not visible. It doesn't show any error but we can't see the parameter values.
Any help in this regard will be great. Thanks in advance.

Hi Ted,
We are using the JAVA SDK to fetch the report. These are the steps we do using java.
- Log in to the Crystal Enterprise
- Get the Report Application Factory from Crystal Enterprise
- Get the InfoStore service from Crystal Enterprise
- Retrieve the report by name from Crystal Enterprise
- Open the report in a ReportClientDocument
- Instantiate a CrystalReportInteractiveViewer
- Get the report source from the ReportClientDocument and set it as source for the CrystalReportInteractiveViewer
- Process the HTTP request to view the report
Please let me know if you need any further info.

JDBC connection error in Crystal Reporting through ESRI Dekho product

Wow, I am so far out of my depth here I am not even sure I am in the correct forum. I have recently started using the GIS software ESRI product Dekho (a web based browser basically) and the reporting tool is Crystal Reports. The JDBC connection required for me to connect to data held in a corporate oracle db is failing with a driver error and I don't know how to troubleshoot it. ESRI support seem to think it's a Crystal Reports issue. If anyone has any idea what I am talking about please respond, including pointing me to a forum which might assist, if this one is not where I should be asking such a question. Thanks in advance.

Simon here from Esri Australia, I work in the support team for the Dekho product, that this client was having problems with.
We established that our Dekho product was passing the relevant information over to Crystal and that Crystal was having issues connecting to a database due to an issue with Crystal not having the correct JBDC drivers installed.
= Therefore we concluded that the client should get in touch with you to resolve these JDBC driver issues.
The error in the report is:
['Failed to open the connection, Details:JDBC driver not found"|http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/jak-c/Outlook1.jpg]
We believe that the issue is specifically a Crystal Reports issue on connecting to an Oracle database.
If we take Dekho out of the equation, the issue is still apparent.
We did some testing on Oracle XE and were able to get it to communicate with Crystal Reports ok.
We had to make the following change:
1. copied the database drivers from:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\jdbc\lib
to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Common\4.0\java\lib\external\
2. Edit "C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Common\4.0\java\lib" to include the above JAR file into the classpath tag.
We touch on this in [our own web-help|http://www.dekho.com.au/help/31/default.htm?turl=Documents%2Fconfigurecrystalreports.htm], although this is more specific to SQL Server.
The client had problems setting up this Crystal Reports to Oracle link, due to drivers missing.
Can you generate a support ticket for this client and assist her with getting CR drivers working with her version of Oracle?
As a sidenote - Esri Australia is a distributor for Esri, and not sure if the OEM extends to us?
We would like to get a better relationship with you on how to deal with Crystal related issues with our own product.
For issues like the above, we would like to come up with a more efficient means for our clients to get resolutions to their issues, and if the issue stems to outside our product - a good process for our support team to log a ticket on behalf of our client and pass all the relevant info across, so that a solution can be resolved quickly.
- Do you have a contact in Australia that we could talk to about this?
Let me know if you need the clients contact details - I believe this is still an issue for her.
