Crystal Reports XI - How to pull same column value with different select...

I have a report with many (around 30) sub reports and it is giving serious performance issue. I am currently finding out a strategy to improve the performance. I see that most of the sub reports are taking same parameters from main report except for one parameter which is different for each sub report and hard coded in them and pulling up the same column value from a oracle database with a different select criterion. I am trying to find out a way using either of command/crystal formula/SQL expression which can do the same job for me and give me performance improvement. I tried to take the parameters from the main report in one sub report and mapped them to parameters being transferred to the command and then drag and drop the field for which I need to display the value but due to some reason it is not returning values when I am trying multiple commands...I need some help in selecting a strategy for this issue resolution and some guidance....Any help would be highly appreciated....

My version is 11.5.8.826. First of all I need to make it clear that I have 6 set of sub reports and each set has 5 sub reports. So if I can resolve the issue for one set, I resolve it for all. The sub reports are doing nothing but fetching a column value using a simple SQL SELECT query and appending to the right of a box in main report. The issue is that all these queries embedded into the sub reports are using same SQL except for one parameter in the "where" clause and they are fetching same column value from the database and fortunately all of them are returning same number of results. So at the end these results create a table when run. The only way I can stop using sub reports is by creating a table in the main report and use some object(formula/command/SQL expression or whatever) to fetch that column value using the same filter conditions. But please take a note that I need to use and append the same column value from a database table and use different filter conditions and append them to the right so that at the end they create a table...as long as I get the table in the output with a decent performance , anyone will be least bothered about what I used inside the report.....please ask me as many questions to get more lights on the issue....

How to pull only column names from a SELECT query without running it

How to pull only column names from a SELECT statement without executing it? It seems there is getMetaData() in Java to pull the column names while sql is being prepared and before it gets executed. I need to get the columns whether we run the sql or not.

Maybe something like this is what you are looking for or at least will give you some ideas.

How can I replace column value with a particular value in SQL

Hi All,
Can anyone please tell me how can I format my output with replacing a column value with a specific value which actually depends on the present value of the column
I am executing the following SQL statement
select state,count(id) from <table_name> where composite_dn= <composite_dn_name> group by state;
My Present output is:
State No.Of Instance
1 3
3 28
I want to replace the value in the column state as follows
State No.OfInstances
Completed 3
Faulted 28
I want "1" to be reppaced by "Completed" and "3" to be replaced by "Faulted"
Is is possible with SQL or PL/SQL , if it is then how can I achieve this required result. Please help!!
Thanks in Advance!!
Edited by: Roshni Shankar on Oct 27, 2012 12:38 AM

Hi Roshni,
I guess this CASE clause can be simulated by a DECODE and also it is very easy to use.
Refer -- http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/functions/decode.php
select decode(t1.state,t2.state_id,t2.state_name), t1.count_id
from <table_2> t2, (select state,count(id) count_id
from <table_name>
where composite_dn= <composite_dn_name>
group by state) t1
where t1.state = t2.state_id;HTH

How to Use Same Asset Number with Different Sub-number

Hi
We want to sell some assets and buy them back on lease. We want to use same Asset number with different sub-number under the same company code. This new asset will be under different Depreciation Area (Statistical).
We use external numbes for assets . And same asset number range is used by all compnay codes.
Please suggest whether this is possible & how.
With Regards,
Nitin

Hi,
Go to field status for asset master data section and change the field status to optional for field Deactivation date, then follow the below steps.
You can create an sub asset number to an asset, which is already deactivated by retirement as like normal sub asset creation with AS11.(While creating sub number, you need to remove cap date and deactivate dcate field manually from asset master)
With this you can get new asset number as same as your old retired asset main number and but sub number will be different.
To post to diff dep area, other than 01, then you first create an acq transaction type, which will post only to specific areas and then use the new asset number in ABSO to post acq with your custom TTY.
I have tested and found working well in my system............Try now in your test client

Column values with invalid characters

How to find the column values with invalid chararcters
meaning value upper(col) not in ('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890')
For ex.
1. CDAssyKit,DragonNaturallySpeaking�Preferred7.0,USEnglish
2. CDAssyKit,DragonNaturallySpeaking Preferred7.0,USEnglish
Query should retrieve only the first row, since it has extra � character in the column value.
Thanks for your help.

Convert all letters and numbers to an arbitrary letter and then remove that letter. If there are any characters left, they are invalid according to your rules.
select *
from t
where replace(translate(lower(column_name), 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789', 'a'), 'a') is not null;

Crystal reports 2011 failure to pull the master data for AP Items

I am using businessobjects 4.0 and i am also running crystal report 2011.I am connecting to a sap erp ecc 6.0 ehp4 without any issue.The challenge comes when trying to input or pick the master data for example company code .The crystal report does not populate the company code field with master data.Any suggestions?

FIrst of all thanks for offering help...
uploding screen shots, below mentioned screens are captured when I was creating a new report on CR2011, usning SAP standard table "T001", there is no parameters, it is simple report but I didnot get data, if i browse the field through Cystal report is says Data Size is 0.

2 same surrogate keys with different filter conditions in one report

how do we put 2 same sr keys with different filter conditions in one single report??
for example, we have to get the 'count' for tm_sr_key:
1. count(tm_sr_key) where past_due_flag = Y
2. count(tm_sr_key) where past_due_flag = Y and N
to be displayed in one single report.
it happens that both sr_keys will display the same measure (which is the 1st filter conditions)
and the filter under criteria tab in anwer will show as :
tm_sr_key where {filter condition 1}
AND
tm_sr_key where {filter condition 2}
instead of :
tm_sr_key where {filter condition 1} for 1st measure
tm_sr_key where {filter condition 2} for 2nd measure
d only option i could think right now is to duplicate the tm_sr_key data in the same table but with different name say, tm_sr_key_2..
kindly pls help.
thanx

i'm sorry, not really understand.
could you pls explain a bit more about the filter column? how do we do it? coz i'm really new in this tool.
r u talking about editing the filter located under the column on the right side of the OBIEE answers?
or is it by editing the 'edit column formula' for required column; that is by replacing the 'column formula' expression with this:
FILTER(EXPS_FACT.FAC_SR_KEY USING EXPS_FACT.PAST_DUE_FLAG = 'Y') <----if it is like this, i tried it already & its giving me an error message..
thanx.

How to display the sort value in the selection screen in the report title

Dear All,

Good day,
Thanks and regards

Hi Arun,
Try this.
1, Set one dynamic parameter,
2, Drag and drop that parameter into your report title.
3, Pass the value(sort value) dynamically from your application,
4, Cheers..
Other wise Try with Dataset, create a dataset and fill thev alue into that.. Then set the data source from CR designer. and darg and drop that data column into the report.
Hope this will work,

How to refer a column value of a single row in conditional column display?

Hello,
does anybody have an idea, how i can refer a column value of a single row in conditional display of a column?
So my idea is, that a report has a column, which value is only displayed, when another column value of this row has a specific value.
I want to solve this problem with condition type: PL/SQL Function Body returning a boolean.
But I do not know how to refer the column value of each single row!
Thank you,
Tim

Here's a solution that, to me, seems easier to implement but, that's, of course, in the eye of the implementer.
Rather than using APEX to generate a link column for you, actually create the link as part of your SQL.
select '<a href="f?p=102:3:491847682940364::::P3_CONTACT_ID:' || CONTACT_ID || "><img src="/i/themes/theme_1/ed-item.gif" alt="Edit"></a>' CONTACT_LINK, ...
etc.
Test this out. You'll see that it works just like making a column a link using the column attributes.
Next, we'll change the SQL to use a DECODE statement to either display the link or nothing depending on what your criteria is. For example, let's assume you only want a link for active contacts.
select Decode( CONTACT_STATUS, 'A', '<a href="f?p=102:3:491847682940364::::P3_CONTACT_ID:' || CONTACT_ID || "><img src="/i/themes/theme_1/ed-item.gif" alt="Edit"></a>', NULL ) CONTACT_LINK, ...
etc.
This will not display the link in any rows in which the CONTACT_STATUS is not active, i.e. "A"

Launch a Crystal Report Based on a Bus. Objects Universe with code

Post Author: BobM
CA Forum: .NET
Launch a Crystal Report Based on a Bus. Objects Universe with code
We have purchased Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 and have designed a universe. We have hundreds of scheduled reports that have been configured through the InfoView. The problem is that we run these reports on a very odd date schedule and it is extremely cumbersome to go into these report definitions and change the dates in InfoView.
We would like to be able to store all the report parameters in a table (outside of the BO universe) along with the date and time we would like it to run. All of this would need to be tagged with the report name so we know what report we are referring to. Then we would like to sweep this table periodically (or use some other triggering mechanism) and launch the reports as specified (hopefully) using an API/SDK (like the one that used to be available with Crystal) to launch the .RPT file and pass all of the appropriate parameters, and possibly the credentials if need be.
In short we want to roll our own report scheduler due to some limitations we have found in the InfoView scheduler.
My main question is, does an API/SDK exist that can launch a crystal report that is based on a Business Objects Universe? As I had stated, it needs to be able to pass parameters in the report call. Based on my previous projects using Crystal connected directly to a SQL Server DB, I beleive this is possible, but I would like to hear from others that may be doing something similar with a Business Objects Universe back end.
We are using Crystal Reports XI R2. Just to be clear, all of the functionality I specified up to the point where the report needs to be called is not an issue, we know how to do all of that.
Thanks in advance,Bob

With the code, you've presumably logged on to the database. To insert objects on to a new report you'd want to use code along the following lines:
private void AddTableFromDataSet(ref CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rpt, System.Data.DataSet ds)
ISCDReportClientDocument rasReport = rpt.ReportClientDocument;
// Convert the DataSet to an ISCRDataset object (something the ISCDReportClientDocument can understand)
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRDataSet rasDS;
rasDS = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataSetConversion.DataSetConverter.Convert(ds);
// Add the dataset as a data source to the report
rasReport.DatabaseController.AddDataSource((object)rasDS);
// Add a field to the report canvas
// Note: This is quick and dirty. No positioning, resizing, formatting, etc.
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ISCRResultFieldController rfc;
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRTable crTable;
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRField crField;
rfc = rasReport.DataDefController.ResultFieldController;
crTable = rasReport.Database.Tables[0];
crField = crTable.DataFields[2]; // Hardcoded field "Customer Name" in the Customer table from Xtreme Sample Database
rfc.Add(-1, crField);
// Save the report template to disk (without data)
//object path = @"c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\";
//rasReport.SaveAs("test.rpt", ref path, 0);
//MessageBox.Show("Done!");
For more info, see sample apps on the following link:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/IgBmBQ
Also, consult your 'Report Application Server .NET SDK Developer Guide" and "Report Application Server .NET API Guide". I'd provide the appropriate links, but you do not mention the version of CR you are using...

Error updating Process Form: Same Column exist with a different variant

Hi All,
I have a process form of a resource with following fields :
Name VariantType Length FieldLabel FieldType Order
UD_EDIR_BWUSER boolean 1 BWUser Checkbox 25
UD_EDIR_ISUUser boolean 1 ISUUser Checkbox 26
Now, I have to changes these field from boolean to string. For that, I created a new process form version and update like this:
1. Delete these fields first.
2. Add two new fields:
UD_EDIR_BWUSER String 4 BWUser Textfield 25
UD_EDIR_ISUUser String 4 ISUUser Textfield 26
Now, when I tried saving the form, I got following error
Same Column exist with a different variant in current or previous form.
I also tried creating again a new version of process form and tried updating these field instead of re-creating them but I was able to update the FieldType only ( not able to update the Variant type and length).
If anyone know how to resolve this issue, please reply.
Cheers,
Sunny

Hi Rajiv,
Thanks for the reply. I re-created these field in a new version but gave a different name this time like this:
UD_EDIR_SAP_BW_USER String 4 SAPBWUser TextField 25
UD_EDIR_SAP_ISU_USER String 4 SAPISUUser TextField 26
and it worked for me.
