Crystal Reports Variable Parameters

I have a client attempting to build a sales report where it will pull the data from the previous week / month / quarter only.
For example, if I have a report that I run on Monday, then it will pull all the data from the last 7 days (so the from the previous monday to sunday - day before I run the report).
What parameters or coding will I have to include to do that scheduling as I understand I will need to create that in the report and once that report is initially scheduled to be built in, then I can upload it into Crystla Reports Server to run on a weekly basis. Your prompt response is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your prompt response. Is there a specific section that covers the scheduling of reports? The guide and area is quite extensive so if you can refer to a specific page or section of the forum it'd be greatly appreciated.
Can the report not be built to be 'parameterized' to only view for a certain period, and then the CR Server would run the reports based off that parameter or can it only be done within the Crystal Reports Server / Enterprise? How will the report recognize to only pull data from the last week or so? Would it not be required in the report that's built?
I have a client that is attempting this, and noted that the CR Server asks for hard coded dates for report scheduling. Please advise.

Crystal Reports Dynamic Parameters with SAP Business One

Okay, I've got this very strange issue with dynamic parameters in Crystal Reports connected to SAP Business One.
Let's start with the software versions:
- Crystal Reports 12.3.0.601
- SAP Business One 8.8 (8.80.231) SP: 00 PL: 13
- Windows XP SP3
(SBO Server on Windows 2003 and SQL 2005)
What I'm about to describe is something I've tried in several reports and for which I created a very, very simple test report to see if it was reproducible in a very simple situation.
- I connected to a Business One server through CR's SBO connection type. Logon is successful, tables are shown.
- I pick OCRD and plac CardCode and CardName in the details section on the report. Previewing the report shows data.
- I create a dynamic parameter on CardCode and in the Select Expert I select the CardCode field and define that that should be equal to the parameter.
- I preview the report again. Now it asks me in such a parameter screen for logon credentials. It shows the server and database it tries to connect to and in the username it shows the SQL Server username I used to connect to the SQL Server in the first place. However, the password for that user is not accepted. I also tried to login with the Windows administrator user and with the SBO manager user, but no success with any attempt.
I also tried to add a static parameter and add all database values to the list. Same screen, different result:
Crystal Reports 2008 wrote:
Logon Failed.
Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT:
Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. (rptcontrollers.dll)
(On a side note: the report is saved as report1.rpt)
Anyone else got similar issues and found a solution?

Hi,
When you have fixed your crystal installation following the note posted earlier, please take a look at the [how to guide|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700000882232009E.pdf] and also at the [e-learning|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700001370262010E] about SAP Business One 8.8 and Crystal Reports.
There are so called "tokens" which you need to use instead of dynamic parameters.
Dynamic paramters don't work in SAP Business One 8.8, if they are not defined as a static paramter with token.
Best regards,
Darius

Crystal Report Viewer & Parameters

Hello,
I have designed a report n Crystal Reports and works on my machine fine. When I preview the report it ask me what parameters I want to search for. When I tried to view this report in Crystal Reports viewer it doesn't ask me. So I learned that I need Crystal Report Server (using 2013 for both Server and Report Writer) and now I am stuck what I need to do. I have downloaded a trail version (intent to purchase it works as I need to) of Crystal Server and used it defaults. I just need some help in direction in what I need to do on Server and Report side to make this report work on the View Side to prompt the user to enter in parameters. When I saved my report I deselected the Save Data to Report. I have tried to look for documents in what I need and came up with a road block or not sure what I really looking for. And I am sorry that I still a newbie for this software.
Thank you,
Gerald

Hi,
Try to use the parameter panel to change the parameter value of the report in the Viewer:
Open the report in Crystal Reports Designer.
Edit the parameter.
Change the Show on (Viewer) Panel value to Editable
Republish to Enterprise

Crystal Reports dynamic parameters data source

Database: Sybase ASA 9
Crystal: Developer 11 SP4 , activex viewer
Application: Powerbuilder 11
I am embedding crystal reports into a powerbuilder 11 application. The crystal reports (.rpt files) are created in Crystal reports developer 11 sp4. The application programmatically change the DSN for the crystal reports to connect to the database that the customer is using. This works fine except when the report contains dynamic parameters (parameter select values from table in database to select from). The dynamic parameter(s) still references the DSN used in development as appose to the new (changed) DSN , although the rest of the report use the "new" DSN. I have spend many many hours on this and are at a lost on how to fix this ?
Following is in short the code I use:
FOR li_table = 1 TO iole_crx_report.database.tables.count
// get connection properties collection for this table
iole_crx_connection_info = iole_crx_report.database.tables[li_table].connectionproperties
iole_crx_connection_info.DeleteAll()
iole_crx_connection_info.add("DSN",itrx_database_info.Lock )
iole_crx_connection_info.add("User ID",itrx_database_info.userid)
iole_crx_connection_info.add("Password", itrx_database_info.dbpass)
iole_crx_connection_info.add("UseDSNProperties",TRUE)
iole_crx_connection_info.add("AllowCustomConnection", TRUE)
NEXT
iole_crx_Database.Verify()

Hi, Johan;
There is no SDK option to change the datasource that the dynamic parameters are based on. Your only option would be to change the DSN itself to point to the new database. Or, not use dynamic parmeters.

Jonathan

Crystal Report "some parameters are missing values" while exporting/printin

I am able to pass parameters from a JSP to a crystal report through CrystalReportViewer and view the report. (I tried doing it using the code provided on this help forum. I was getting a message: "Some Parameters are missing values". I had to add 1 line: pfield1.setReportName(""); for every parameter field. And It worked..)
Now I can see the "Print" and "Export" buttons. But when I try to print or export the report, I get the same message "Some Parameters are missing values".

see posting "parameter driven export to excel" on April 26th

Crystal report with Parameters failed on Sybase

I have created the report in crystal report 2008 which accept the parameter. I have used the SybaseServer provider. The report worked fine in Crystal report designer. However when I run the same report through the .net application it fails saying "Logon Failed." I have set the connection like
foreach (CrystalDecisions.Shared.IConnectionInfo reportConnectionInfo in reportDocument.DataSourceConnections)
                if (useTrustedConnection)
                    reportConnectionInfo.SetConnection(dbServerName, databaseName, true);
                else
                    reportConnectionInfo.SetConnection(dbServerName, databaseName, userId, password);
The above code work for SQL Server but failed with Sybase.

First make sure you have SP 2 for CR 2008;
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
Next, I'm not sure if the connection you want to use is trusted or not. If it is, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b021e47e-be1d-2b10-c6b2-efa9db3abd6b] article. If it is not, see the code documented in the following resources to log on to the database;

Visual Studio 2013 Crystal Report passing parameters

Hello Everyone,
I am simply trying to pass a parameter from my textbox called "StockID" to my crystal report which is called "testlbl.rpt". There is only one parameter in this report and it is called "m_stockid". I am using a crystal report viewer
and I have imported the report into the project so I am not loading it from outside. Below is an example of what I have tried. I have also attempted loading the report and using "SetParameterValue(...)". Can anyone please help me with this?
ParameterFields paramFields = new ParameterFields();
ParameterField pfStock = new ParameterField();
pfStock.ParameterFieldName = "m_stockid";
pfStock.CurrentValues.Add(0);
paramFields.Add(pfStock);
crystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;
crRpt.SetParameterValue(":m_rec", 0);
crRpt.SetParameterValue("@m_rec", 0);
crRpt.SetParameterValue("?m_rec", 0);
crRpt.SetParameterValue(testlbl1.Parameter_m_rec.ParameterFieldName, 0);
crRpt.SetParameterValue(0, 0);
crystalReportViewer1.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;

Hi Boa_nerges,
Thank you for your post.
Since this forum is to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor. So I’m afraid that it is not the
correct forum for this issue.
I suggest you can ask your issue directly on SAP Crystal Reports:

Problem with opening a Crystal Report containing parameters in InfoView

Hello everybody.
Here's the situation.
I've created a Report in CR2008 wich contains parameters to reduce the shown data. The user should be able to select one or more years. I've realized this by using a dynamic parameter that gets its values out of an data field (part of a SAP BW query, connected with the BW MDX driver of the SAP Integration Kit).
Then I've published this report using the SAP Integration Kit toolbar button.
Now there's a copy of this report in the BW Repository and in the BO Repository as well.
But here comes the problem. If I want to open this report it asks for the parameters to choose. But theres nothing to choose. Searching isn't working because it brings no results. So I couldn't open because it needs a parameter to go on that I can't choose or type in manually. Even that ones I've chosen while saving aren't offered or used by default.
It doesn't matter from where I want to open it. Double click on report in SAP BW or on that one in InfoView. Same result. Stop at the discribed point.
Open this report in the Crystal Viewer 2008 works just fine.
Changing the viewer engine to ActiveX, Java or standard wasn't successfull.
Any suggestions?
Would be nice.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Greetings,
Sebastian

Retain value of Crystal Report variable during drill-down

Dear expert,
In CR, how to have a variable whose value is retained during drill-down? In other words, a variable whose value remains across drill-downs.
I've tried both Global and Shared variables but their values are not retained when drilingl-down (the value is gone or removed).
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,

Embedding Crystal Reports with parameters in web page

Hi,
I have created a sample report file and configured it with a parameter field. On embedding this report file in the web page, as expected I am prompted to enter value for the parameter. After entering value and clicking OK, CrystalReportViewerServlet delegates the call to the custom JDBC connector implementation which is the data provider. However, the web page doesnu2019t show the retrieved resultset but shows a page with some text like this:
{"update":{"children":[{"children":[
{"args":{"curPage":1,"numPages":"1"},"cons":"bobj.crv.newSelectPageControl"},{"args":{"searchText":""},"cons":"bobj.crv.newSearchTextControl"}
],"cons":"bobj.crv.newToolbar"},{"args":{"displayDrilldownTab":true,"initTabIdx":0},"children":[{"args":{"isMainReport":true,"label":"Main Report","viewStateId":"1"},"children":[{"args":{"content":"\r\n
On debugging I could see, that the parameter value from the prompt is correctly passed from the CrystalReportViewerServlet to the custom Connector (i.e., the sql query is updated with the parameter value) and the connector fetches the data also.
I also tried embedding another .rpt file with few parameter fields configured (where user input values are just passed to the details section of the report for display). However on running this web page also I get the same error.
Report files with no parameter fields configured are working fine when embedded in web page.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Regards,
Ria

I would take a look at running our simple [sample application |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/307224d2-3d11-2c10-fe86-d87bab901bee&overridelayout=true]that views reports to see if you have the issue there.

Default Parameters in Crystal Report

Hi all visitors
I have created one crystal report and now i want to set the parameters to my report by using parameters in Crystal Report( the parameters not from sql).My parameters are datetime datatype. in my report, i create one formula( get date from DocDate field from sql).How can i set the default "Todate" parameter as current date?
Best Regards,

Hi,
So all of the seleciton is done using selecct expert. They have alot of default values there...but if you go to advanced then you can do much more still. So if you just want to only use the currentdate then you can just do something like
date({IT_ChangeManagement.Deployment Date/Time}) = currentdate
In the above case there would be no parameters needed and would show the currentdates information. You could of course do a varity of >= or <= using the above method.
If you want more flexability then you could create a parameter or two . Here is an example. This is again done in select expert....
if {?Start Date} <= date("01/01/2000") then
date({IT_ChangeManagement.Deployment Date/Time}) = currentdate
else
{IT_ChangeManagement.Deployment Date/Time} >= {?Start Date} and
{IT_ChangeManagement.Deployment Date/Time} <= {?End Date}
The above defaults to the current date if the start date is older than 2000, otherwise it uses the start & end date parmeters.
Make sense?
