The ODBC datasource must be configured as a System datasource. The database was configured as a User datasource so it was only visible on the local computer. That's why Business Views Manager could access the database.

Dynamic crystal report generation - issues with column headings

Hi All, 
I'm trying to generate a crystal report dynamically based on a "result set" data(Query: select REPORT_ID, REPORT_NAME, REPORT_DESC, RPT_FILE_NAME, LOCATION from IRS_REPORT_DETAILS). I'm able to generate the report run time, But the report is without columns heads. I would like to include the column headings as well. 
I searched the API(RAS) and found that there is a 'add(java.lang.String fieldName, java.lang.String headingText) " method present in "ReportObjectController" using which we can add the headings. 
ReportDefController reportDefController = clientDoc.getReportDefController();
ReportObjectController reportObjectController = reportDefController.getReportObjectController();
reportObjectController.add( "{Table.Field}", "FieldName" );
 
I'm facing problems in using this code. When trying to use this function for my fields(Ex: reportObjectController.add( "{ IRS_REPORT_DETAILS.REPORT_ID}", "Report ID" );) it is giving me the following error: "com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKGroupException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213310 Error code name:fieldNotFound" 
The following is my dynamic crystal report generation code: 
public ReportClientDocument execute(String repName, String query) {
 ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = null;
 try {
 boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
 boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
 // Add a table based on the given Resultset to the report.
 dbConnResultSet mySampleResultSet = new dbConnResultSet();
 //mySampleResultSet.execute(query);
 boReportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().addDataSource(
 mySampleResultSet.execute(query));
 IReportSource test = boReportClientDocument.getReportSource();
 // Access all the database fields
 DatabaseController databaseController = boReportClientDocument
 .getDatabaseController();
 IDatabase database = databaseController.getDatabase();
 Tables tables = database.getTables();
 ITable table = (Table) tables.getTable(0);
 int NO_OF_FIELDS = table.getDataFields().size();
 int LEFT_POSITION = 200;
 // Add all the database fields to the report document
 for (int i = 0; i < NO_OF_FIELDS; i++) {
 IField field = table.getDataFields().getField(i);
 FieldObject fieldObject = new FieldObject();
 fieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
 fieldObject.setDataSource(field.getFormulaForm());
 IReportObject rep = (IReportObject) fieldObject;
 IObjectFormat objformat = rep.getFormat();
 objformat.setEnableCanGrow(true);
 objformat.setHorizontalAlignment(Alignment.from_int(1));
 rep.setFormat(objformat);
 rep.setLeft(LEFT_POSITION);
 rep.setWidth(1000);
 LEFT_POSITION = LEFT_POSITION + 1000 + 50;
 ISection section = boReportClientDocument
 .getReportDefController().getReportDefinition()
 .getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0);
 //***************** Data being added to the report here, But headings are not added*****************
 boReportClientDocument.getReportDefController()
 .getReportObjectController().add(rep, section, i);
 boReportClientDocument.createReport();
 /*Some report saving code is present down*/
 } catch (ReportSDKException ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace();
 } catch (Exception ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace();
 return boReportClientDocument;
 
appreciate your help.

IField field = table.getDataFields().getField(i);
Here you are getting the first field in the array. This may not be the field you want to add since we aren't sure how the arrays are ordered when retrieving fields from the report. It is better to retrieve the fields with the findObjectByName method, thus ensuring you are retrieving the field you want to add to your heading.

You have to be careful on the files you deploy. There is Crystal Reports 2008 (v. 12.x) and Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 (v. 10.5).
If you are referencing CR assemblies of version 12.x, then you have to use the runtime files from here:
MSM
https://share.sap.com/a:328ro3/MyAttachments/53ecd0f0-09d3-4633-ada3-eeb7639fcd37/
MSI
https://share.sap.com/a:328ro3/MyAttachments/b7b145e0-eab2-46d0-bab1-e072d4f2af35/
Note that CR 2008 (v. 12.x) does not have 64 bit runtime.
If you referenced CR assemblies of version 10.5, then you need to use the runtime files from here:

Crystal Report generation using XML

I have some reports that were created using XML and as I recall when I created them using CR v. 9 I used a connections called ADO (Xml) or something like that. On one of my machines I have CR XI and the only option available is XML and when I add a field from this connection it inserts: "{NewDataSet\TableName.FieldName}" however, previously when I used the ADO XML connections it only inserted {TableName.FieldName}. In the version 9 CR i was using the professsional version and in the version 11 CR it is still the professional version but I can't seem to create an XML connector that doesn't prefix the table/field with "NewDataSet". My request is two fold, first, can you please direct me to some articles that I can read to better understand how to generate CR from XML? My project is to generate the XML and then set the xml during runtime into the report using SetDataSource and then display the report using the CR viewing that I package and redist with my app. Secondly, why does the ADO XML connector not available in CR XI professional version and is there any way to get the CR v. 9 behaviour back?
Thanks,
Marcus

Hi, Markus
If you are planning to run reports from a .NET application, you need to have the Developer edition, not the professional.
The ADO.NET Driver is not installed by default. Go into Control Panel - Add / Remove programs, and chose Crystal Reports, and change. You can expand the Database drivers, and you should see the ADO.NET driver there. Note: you need to have the .NET framework installed for this to work.

Jonathan

Getting a stack trace after a crash using a command ant build

I am trying to do some maintenance on a large project (about 300 files) that cannot be built using an IDE like eclipse or netBeans (the build instructions are in a build.xml file and is built using ant) and after installing the MacOSX 10.5.7 update yesterday the application crashes every time one of my SwingUI elements come up. I don't know of any way for me to get the stack trace so I can try and figure out what's going on. I did test the application on a non intel based mac and it does not crash when the dialogs come up so I think the bug is specific to the update. Can anyone tell me an easy way to get this stack trace? Thanks.

that cannot be built using an IDE like eclipse or netBeans (the build instructions are in a build.xml file and is built using ant) I know that Intellij can build using an ant file, so I'd expect that Eclipse and NB can do the same.

I don't know of any way for me to get the stack trace so I can try and figure out what's going on.Regardless of whether you build in the IDE or on the command line, you should be able to attach a debugger to the app and set a breakpoint on any exception. Even if you don't do that, when it crashes, there should be a stack trace. Unless the problem is in the JVM itself--improper .so file, for example.

Passing parameters from vb form to a crystal report with stored procedure

Can someone give me an idea how to use data inputted on vb form to be use as basis of crystal report generation which loads data from a stored procedure. Stored procedure has parameters that was also set in the crystal report. viewing on crystal report is ok but i am having difficulty running the report from vb.

Hi John,
              If Not CRRpt.ParameterFields("AgeType") Is Nothing Then
                    CRRpt.ParameterFields("AgeType").CurrentValues.Clear()
                    Dim ParamValue As new CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue
                    ParamValue.Value = AgeType.ToString
                    CRRpt.ParameterFields("AgeType").CurrentValues.Add(ParamValue)
                End If
Note that the ParamValue.Value should be assigned with exact same data type as you declared it in CR.
If it is string, Convert your Variable to string first.
If it is date, make sure you are passing a date variable.
and so on...
Regards

Error after migration to Crystal Reports 12 for existing reports

Hi,
We had reports written using Crystal Reports Version 8.5. These reports were not modified for a long time. Recently, we had migrated to Crystal Reports 12 (2008). Some of the these existing reports were modified using the Crystal Reports 2008 designer. After installing our application (we ship Merge Module of Crystal Reports 12 i.e. 2008 which gets installed in GAC)
1) If we create new reports in 2008 designer and try to view these reports, it works as expected without any issue(s).
2 ) However, if these modified reports are tried to be viewed, there is an error which states "Database Logon Failed".
Details:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LogOnException     {"Database logon failed."}
ErrorID     CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.EngineExceptionErrorID.LogOnFailed
InnerException     {"Database logon failed."}
Message      "Database logon failed."
Source     "CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataSetConversion"
Stack Trace        at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ConvertDotNetToErom.ThrowDotNetException(Exception e)

   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType formatType, String fileName)
TargetSite     {Boolean ThrowDotNetException(System.Exception)}
Also, it is worth to note that if we try to view these modified reports from any environment which has both Crystal Reports 10 and Crystal Reports 12 in GAC, then these reports work as expected.
P.S. We have mechanism in application's code to reset the database connections when any report is being viewed using ReportDocument class' method.
From the above scenario I believe issue is specific to migration to Crystal Reports 12 (2008). Any help /workaround to solve this problem will be highly appreciated.

Make sure you have the latest SP for CR 2008 installed;
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
Ensure you are deploying SP 2 runtime;
MSM
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009159092009E/cr2008sp2_mm.zip
MSI
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009159002009E/cr2008sp2_redistinstall.zip
If that does not help;
1) Do these reports work in the designer?
2) What database are you using and what is the connection type?
3) Compare the dlls loading on the systems where this app works (environment which has both Crystal Reports 10 and Crystal Reports 12 in GAC) and a system that is giving you the error. Use the [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility.
4) Open the reports in the designer and look at the properties in the Database menu -> Set Datasource Location. Check to see if there are any differences between the two reports.
5) If there is a subreport in the report that causes the issue, remove it and see if the report works without the subreport.

Crystal Report 2011- SAP Data Sources: CL - no items found

Background:
SAP ECC 6.0 was purchased three years ago with DSD package. Only FI and SD modules are in use. Accounts download data filesfrom SAP to produce spreadsheet reports. Few user trust these numbers. We are setup as "SAP in the Cloud" model- Listening to constant user complaints, it seems SAP is broken. Interim solution: Crystal Report for everyone.
Encouraged by Ingo Hilgefort papers and Crystal Report Forum:
We decided to deploy Crystal Report 2011 and Business Object XI 3.1 with SP4 for our small user community. These software are installed on local XP laptop and Business Object XI 3.1 installed in the SAP server as well.
Problem Description:
The desktop user cannot see SAP infosets or tables contents. When connect to the data sources. After user login, she can navigate to expand the data source CL.- displays "no items found ". I can reproduce this error. Using the Crystal Report wizard and selecting various data sources such as: SAP Table, Cluster and Functions: CL, DD and FN category only DD and FN display items.
Current Environment: SAP in the Cloud.
SAP Server::ECC 6.0 EhP3 dual stack. Database MSSQL, OS 2008 Server, Business Object Intergration Kit 3.1, Remote Acces VPN.
Desktop Environment: Crystal Report 2011: SP1, Business Object Xi 3.1, XP SP3
Surprise: Clicking on either DD and FN tab inside the connector window in Crystal- it expands and displays tables and content reference but not CL.
Questions: Do we have to move to EhP5 for the CRX 2011 to work ? What is wrong: ? Any help will be appreciated?
This question is for Ingo H. How to convince SAP hosting company otherwise to solve our problem ? Is is desktop problem or Host side configuration ?

Ahmad
K900687 is Open SQL Connectivity transport and required for direct SAP tables connectivity, so you need it, but I am not sure if the warning message relevant to your problem. Sometimes warning is just a warning.
You can see other objects in DD, but not in CL, it means the connection works. You probably do not have required authorisations to see objects.
I would suggest to review the Authorisation section of SAP Integration Kit Installation Guide here:
[http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000559912010E/xi31_sp3_bip_sap_inst_en.pdf ]
You may also check what is the differences between DD and CL in terma of authorizations.
If you think CR 2011 is broken, then test CR 2008. Is still available for free 30-days trial download here:
[http://www12.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx]
, but you would need to add SAP Integration Kit to it.

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

Crystal Report (RDC) doesn't print correctly, after Printer change ?

There are problems with the page format and the color settings for the new printer !
It should be resolved with ADAPT01104291 FixPack3.8
Description: Crystal reports may not print properly after users change printers by using the SelectPrinter command from the Report Designer Component (RDC). The cause of the problem is that the incorrect DEVMODE structure size is allocated to the print job.
We are using CRXI_R2_SP5_Upgrade: ProductID=11.5.11.1470.2.26.Patch
but we still have the problems !

Hello Don, thank you for your extensive answer. The PCL printer of HP is not the trouble maker. The problem is obviously replicable with any other Printer Driver (Espon/Sharp/Kycocera a. s. o.) I only installed this PCL Printer Driver of course you mentioned it in your example before.
Okay, let's talk about the Devcap-Program and there Information about the paper source of a printer. Even in Visual Basic it's possible to get those Information by Win-API-Call's. Here they are:
PrinterID: , AusgabeName: , TreiberName: , Port: LPT1:, TrackDefault: , PaperSize:
Papier-Schächte:
Automatisch auswählen, Nr: 15
Automatische Druckeraus, Nr: 262
Schacht 1, Nr: 261
Schacht 2, Nr: 260
Schacht 3, Nr: 259
Schacht 4 (2000-Blatt), Nr: 258
Manueller Einzug (Schac, Nr: 257
Papier-Formate:
Letter, Nr: 1
Legal, Nr: 5
Statement, Nr: 6
Executive, Nr: 7
A3, Nr: 8
A4, Nr: 9
A5, Nr: 11
B4 (JIS), Nr: 12
B5 (JIS), Nr: 13
11x17, Nr: 17
Umschlag 10, Nr: 20
Umschlag DL, Nr: 27
Umschlag C5, Nr: 28
Umschlag B5, Nr: 34
Umschlag Monarch, Nr: 37
Jap. Doppelpostkarte gedreht, Nr: 82
12x18, Nr: 131
9x12, Nr: 132
C4, Nr: 133
Maximum 11,7 x 17,7, Nr: 134
and even set those Information for the RDC-Sturcture, so there is a solution for the setting of the paper size.
But there is not solution for the setting of the color nor the further page settings (Printing onesided or bothsided a.s.o.)
I can change the default windows printer settings but that has no effect on the RDC-Print ! So I think, there must be a solution by the Crystal-Report-Design-printing-DLL (craxdrt.dll) !
