Crystal Reports XI: multi-language option

I need to display in multiple languages reports .rpt desing in Crystal Report XI, that are called from a web application (Visual Studio 2008, c#).
I need to translate all label to the report .How can i do it ?
in another forums, I found that the solution is create formulas in Crystal (one per label), and assign its value (translation) from the web application (by language), but , Is there any option to generate language resources in Crystal?
Thanks...

See the following forum thread:
Multiple language support
David's note in the above provides a very good pointer.

Need help in developing XML Publisher Report in Multi Language

Hi Tim,
We have requirement to develop XML Publisher report in Multi language.
I know we can upload multiple Templates, one for each language.
Can any one help me in knowing the process other than uploading multiple templates.
Any documents or setup process related to this will be of great help.
I appretiate your help.
Thanks & Regards,
Sahoo

Hi,
Lets say you have two smart styles with X and Y, and runtime based on the number of pages, if you would like to modify the style, then check any standard table or structue which holds and responsible for the holding the style value.
If you can trace that, based on the coding we can modify accordingly.

Does BEX Report supports Multi Languages????

Dear Gurus,
Does Bex report supports Multi Languages???? I mean, I had developed a report for the client and client wants the report for their different locations globally. Is there any way in BI, so that we can provide the same report into Spanish, French....
Thanks in advace....

Sure. It is supported.
Just a point to be mentioned here.
You have to maintain the laguage desired installed on ABAP side first.
You can chck this on RZ10 - Parameter: zcsa/installed_languages.
Ex: zcsa/installed_languages - ED
it means English and Deutsch
Well, open Query Designer. On Logon screen, select the language desired, like Spanish - ES.
After that, go to each keyfigure and characteristic of the query and on Properties -Description Field (Descripción on spanish),
put the spanish name of the object.
Save the query and test on both languages (original and spanish or french)...
This will solve your issue.

Is it be true to say a good and not corrupted crystal report always has the option to generate a PDF when click the printer icon on the Crystal toolbar ?

''please stick with your original questions thread about Crystal Report - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/970077 - locking this thread''l
When i unistall and again install a fresh Crystal report for .Net 4.0 Its ok to generate only to pdf option when click to the print icon on crystal report viewer but in another computer it is promting the old fasion like "a dialog with many option" ,But if want to have a only option to generate only to pdf option what should i have to do when my project and crystal report is at Window server 2008 R2,Please suggest a requred answer?

Firefox will update in increments when you use such old versions. The best thing to do is to go to www.getfirefox.com, and download Firefox 19.0.2. This is going to be much faster than updating to 3.0.19, then to 3.6, then 12, then 19 (which is the current process).

Crystal Reports in other languages ...

Hi
I'm new to crystal reporting my question is can crystal reports (v10 to be specific) present data in other languages like for example Arabic even though your data source is English language? More like translate this data to that language, Is it just a matter of choosing the font when designing or its more complicated than that?
Thanks

New since CR 9 is unicode support: http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=http--supportbusinessobjectscom-communityCS-TechnicalPapersNoNav-cr9whatsnewpdfasp&sliceId=&dialogID=24286720&stateId=1 0 24288668
"Unicode support means that the program code level in Crystal Reports is able to recognize language
characters that are based on Unicode.
Unicode is used to display double-byte characters such as the Chinese and Japanese character sets.
This enables you to create Crystal Reports that can display right-to-left languages and multiple
languages in a single report."
So if your data is in unicode Crystal will be able to properly display the various languages.
If you wanted one single report to be viewed in different languages, then static strings in the report would need to be converted into formula fields which changes the text into the appropriate language based on a language parameter. Some strings could not be handled in this manner though such as custom prompting strings.

Crystal Reports XI PDF Export Options

Can someone point me to a list of the ExportOptions for a PDF? I'm trying to print a report and export it to a PDF and I'm running into the "page header and page footer too big for the page" error. I'm able to generate the printout fine, but the PDF is giving me the error. Code is wrriten in Progress 4GL.
An additional question that has me even more perplexed. This code generates the printout correctly on one server but no PC, and on my PC it generates the PDF but not the printout. Any ideas on that one?
   IF SEARCH(cStartDirectory + "BOLTEST.rpt") EQ ? THEN DO:
      MESSAGE "Could not find report: " + cStartDirectory + "BOLTEST.rpt".
      RETURN (FALSE).
   END.
   chCrystalRep = chCrystalApp:OpenReport(cStartDirectory + "BOLTEST.rpt",1).
   /* Generate PDF */
   chCrystalRep:ExportOptions:DestinationType = 1.
   chCrystalRep:ExportOptions:DiskFileName = cExportLoc + "boltest.pdf".
   chCrystalRep:ExportOptions:FormatType = 31.
   chCrystalRep:ExportOptions:PDFExportAllPages = TRUE.
   chCrystalRep:DisplayProgressDialog = TRUE.
   chCrystalRep:EXPORT(FALSE).
   /* Print Copy */
   chCrystalRep:SelectPrinter(cDriverName, cPrinterName, cPort).
   chCrystalRep:PrintOut(FALSE).
   RETURN(TRUE).
END FUNCTION.

Digging through the forums, I found this little guy:
Change default printer in CrystalReportViewer:
Re: Change default printer in CrystalReportViewer
It's not quite what answering my problem, but I suspect the issue here is the same one I'm having. Originally designed a report on a printer, and when it tries to print on another PC (or a server), it grabs the default printer instead of the same printer I designed it on. The printer I designed this using is a default printer for the entire company so every PC and server has it installed on there.
Any thoughts?

Change GUI Language in Crystal Reports XI

How can I change the GUI language of a installed Crystal Reports XI? At the installation, I have choosen "English" but now the GUI is in German.
As I found out, the GUI language depends on the regional settings in Windows. I have "Switzerland" as the default settings, so it seems the Crystal Reports sets the language to German. Is there a registry key or something else to change the language manually?

Stephan

Hi Stephan,
When you install CR XI it should have the option to select all languages, I don't recall exact steps now, I don't have it installed any more.
Try doing a Repair install in add/remove programs and select Custom to choose all the languages. It should then select your default local.
CR 2008 now gives you the option in the Designer itself to set this option.
You can also upgrade to CR XI R2 for free, use your XI Keycode to install it and be sure to select the languages you want to support.

CRVS2010 beta - Crystal Reports Menu option

Hello,
When viewing this menu from the Main Report Preview tab, there is an option on the Crystal Reports menu called "Crystal Reports Community". The option is not working.
My question is when this option is working, what will it link to?
Thank you
Tracy

Hi Tracy,
Because it's beta none of those links will work until CR is released to the public as a GA build. It will likely be the same as what you see in CR 2008 Start Page, links to get updates, forums, etc....
I'll pass this onto the PM's for CR4VS2010 and if anything is different they add to this post.
Thank you again
Don

Crystal report : Export to Text format from BI Launch pad

Hi,
We are facing issue in exporting the Crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad view mode. Currently BI launch pad doesn’t support export to Text format option for crystal report in view mode. But export to text format option is feasible in schedule mode. But customer is not interested in exporting the reports through schedule mode.
Please advise, if we have any alternative way of exporting the crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad.
Thanks,
Chinnu A

Hi Chinnu,
The question is better suited to be asked in the BI Platform space.

Crystal Reports 2008 can't access R/3 queries

Hi there,
My company is in the middle of SAP implementation and our go-live is in 2 months. We don't have a BW system in place and are (for the most part) using the Standard SAP Reports available out of the box to facilitate the requirements of the different business users. But as we all know, there are always some reports that require customization. So, for that we decided to use Crystal Report 2008 (ver. 12.3.0.601) to design custom reports while accessing data from the Standard SAP Tables. I am able to access the Standard SAP Tables in R/3 (built on Oracle database) and the fields in those tables from the Crystal Report 2008 Database Expert option and have created an A/R Aging Report successfully. However, while working on my second report (GL Journal Entry By Invoice#) I am struggling to maintain and improve the query execution time since I am accessing data from huge standard FI-CO tables (BSEG, BSID, BSAD). Our 3rd party implementation team has already designed a custom report in R/3 that is available in all the clients using the T-Code in NetWeaver for the end users but it's missing some fields that the end users would need for go-live and it's not possible to ask the 3rd party implementation team to make the needed changes to the already customized report (for whatever reasons). And, that's why, I am asked to customize this report in Crystal. I suspect the execution time is so bad in Crystal because of lack of filtering of the data when I am pointing at the huge Standard Tables. I would have added some SQL clause and filters to bring in only the required fields from the table into the Crystal environment but I don't have that option since the R/3 system is sitting on Oracle. I have couple questions:
1) Would it be advantageous to build the custom Crystal Report on top the custom R/3 report that is already in place since in the R/3 report I can create a default variant with the conditions I want and it gets executed every time I call it in Crystal giving me only the data I am interested in? And, is it even possible?
2) Why am I not able to see the R/3 custom report from the Database Expert option even though the report is accessible from NetWeaver? I am able to access all the Standard SAP Tables from Database Expert in Crystal 2008.
And I forgot to add, we don't have an ABAP expert in house to create ABAP function modules that might help me filter the data in the R/3 system.
Is there any suggestions that will get the job done? Am I doing anything wrong here?
Sorry for the long story but I wanted to give you guys a full background of the issue.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

No - this is not possible; you can only report in Crystal against ECC tables, ABAP functions, and SAP Query/Infosets

Hello,
Those are some big tables to be reporting against in Crystal
Have you considered creating an InfoSet using logical database BRM (Financial Documents) that could then be used to report against Crystal?
We do use Crystal / SAP Query against the logical database BRM as an InfoSet and so far we haven't seen the performance issues you are describing.
Also, have you considered upgrading to Crystal Reports 2011? Not sure that it would help the performance issues you are describing.

Crystal Report with standard Input-Parameters in InfoView

Hi there,
i've created a crystal report which has non-optional input parameters, e.g, Date from ... Date to ...
I've managed to fill this parameter with standard parameters if the user does not choose a value. e.g. date is today - 14 days.
If i start the report in crystal and do not enter a input-parameter, it gets it input parameer automatically, see:
(if not hasvalue({?PARA_TA_von}) then ({PW_BO_HU_TA.LTAP-WDATU}>=CurrentDate-14) else ({PW_BO_HU_TA.LTAP-WDATU}>={?PARA_TA_von}))
It works perfectly in crystal. But if i start the Report in Webintelligence Infoview, it doesn't work and i get the message to enter the input-parameters....
Any idea ?
Thanks,
Sebastian

Hi Ingo,
I have tried the sample reports and other crystal reports created with data sources other than SAP which all work fine. The problem happens on all clients and the server when running reports with SAP data source.
I did find an error in the Tomcat logs.
[/SAP].[jsp] Thread [http-8080-Processor24]; Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/crystaldecisions/Utilities/LengthLimitedDataInputStream
I did manage to run one report which had 4 records but the other reports which vary from 432 - 2500 records return the error found in the tomcat logs.
I will be installing BOE XI 3.1 on my desktop to see if the still issue occurs in this release.
Thanks and Regards,
Paul.

How to write SQL in crystal report that can reuse SQL execution plan cache?
