Crystal Rreports2008-Infoview Page Encapsulation Intermittently

Hi All,
We have developed a set of crystal reprots.Reports are working fine in DEv environment(BOXI 3.1) and we have promoted to prod.
In prod,strangely we get page enacapulation error on clicking the report(BOXI 3.1) sometimes.Sometimes reports are working fine .That too happens with in one infopview session.
I have changed the Crystal report Viewer option to Java Viewer to get detailed error message,its shwoing ORA-1005(Null password given) when we hit with error .At the same time from another machine i could refresh the report.
If any of you can shed some light to this issue, it would be great.
Thanks in Advance

Morning Simon,
The source doesn't seem to be showing any error message or explaining anything however the error FWM 02050 might say something. Have you searched the Wiki or Articles about this?
Personally I have not seen this type of error before however it seems that either the source or the layout of the report gets changed and hence it errors out as it does not match with the source.
For example, in the report maybe there is a dynamic parameter which gets changed occasionally or any other report object which has a source linked gets changed.
Does this happen only with one report or all the reports?
Does anyone change the reports?
How many dynamic or static params are there in the report?
How is the report connected (odbc or any other means?)
Does the server react like this with other reports as well?
Here is the list for error message from BO you might it find handy
[help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_error_message_guide_en.pdf]
I think we need to investigate first where the problem is generating from and then find out about this error.

Garbage characters displayed when saving InfoView Page Layout in Chinese

HI,
I'm new to BO, so I don't know whether I'm giving required information or not. We integrated BO with our product.Following are the configuration details.
Server: win2k3 sp2
DataBase: Embedded Sybase SQL
Clinet: winxp sp3(Chinese) + FF3.6.8
I logged in to BO InfoView with Chinese language as "Product Locale". Went to InfoView Page Layout Page , selected Save As option. Now I can see some garbage characters along with some Chinese characters in the Title text field. I want to eliminate those garbage characters.
I want to know the following.
1. what could be the reason to get such type of garbage characters there ?
2. How to eliminate them ?
3.Are we missing any required data while integrating BO with our product due to which this problem comes ?
Thanks in Advance,
Vasu

Update the web links on the Crystal Reports start page?

Many of the web links on the Crystal Reports start page are now useless and direct to the general "Welcome to the SAP Support World!" page.
When will / how can these be updated?

Crystal Reports 2008 Page Header needed on all pages.

I have Crystal Reports 2008.
In my report I need the Page Header and Page Footer to appear on all pages.
When I have over 50 detail records/lines the Page Header appears on only odd pages, the Page Footer is OK on all pages.
How do I change the Page Header to print on all pages in CR 2008?

Thanks what work was creating a Page Header b and moving all header info there.
This report has 4 levels of groupings and I am finding that group effects a lot.

Crystal generates empty pages for a datasource with a lot of data

Hi, I hope someone have some hints to solve my problem with generating large reports.
I have SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4 32-bit installed on my Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Server.
Since I update Crystal Reports to 13.0.2.469 large Reports have only empty pages. If I print those Reports the data are visible, the report is displayed correct.
I solved the problem temporarily by setting SeparatePages to true for the CrystalReportViewer Control, but for the future I need the complete report displayed at once.
I would be very pleased about your help / hints.
Regards, Sabine

Thank you for your answer.
My report has only one cross table in it. I can generate it for a dataset with 26 rows. If there are 27 rows the report is empty.
If I use a diffrent report without a crosstab only with repeatable sections and less data, I can make a select for 150 rows. That shows me 5 - 7 pages.
It also makes a difference how the page settings are. If I configurate a smaller border for the top and bottom border I need to change my select to select less record rows and if I configurate a greater border there can be more record rows.
Here an example how I can reproduce my problem:
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
using System.Data;
using System.Net;
namespace EASWebOffice.Pages
    public partial class ReportTest : System.Web.UI.Page
        private HttpWebRequest request;
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            if (!Page.IsPostBack)
                request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(@"http://localhost:54332/Pages/ReportTest.aspx");
                AddOnPreRenderCompleteAsync((BeginEventHandler)BeginAsyncOperation, (EndEventHandler)EndAsyncOperation);
                if (Session["Report"] != null)
                    this.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Session["Report"];
        IAsyncResult BeginAsyncOperation(object sender, EventArgs e, AsyncCallback cb, object state)
            if (Session["InitialiseReport"] == null)
                ProcessingReportData();
            return request.BeginGetResponse(cb, state);
        void EndAsyncOperation(IAsyncResult ar)
            if (Session["InitialiseReport"] == null)
                Response.AddHeader("Refresh", "1");
                Session["InitialiseReport"] = "performed";
        private void ProcessingReportData()
            CrystalReport2 report = new CrystalReport2();
            // 26 rows works, 27 shows an empty report
            string sql = "select top 26 Auftraggeber as Customer, Kostenträgername as Project, Beschreibung as Description, Stundenanzahl as Hours, UMusername as Ressource from V_MonthEvaluation";
            DataTable data = WebSQLTools.ExecuteToDataTable(sql, Global.Connection, Global.Logger, "");
            DataSet dataSet = new DataSet("DataSet1");
            data.TableName = "DataTable1";
            dataSet.Tables.Add(data);
            report.SetDataSource(dataSet);
            Session["Report"] = report;
Do someone have a similar problem? Is there a solution?

Crystal Reports 9: Page Header plus Page Footer is too large for the page.

Hi,
I have a report that has the following sections.
GH1
GH2a
GH2b - has a sub report
GH2c - has another sub report
GH3
GH4
GH5
details - suppressed
GF5 - suppressed
GF4 - suppressed
GF3 - suppressed
GF2 - suppressed
GF1 - suppressed
The report works fine wehn I run it using Crystal Designer.I am using CR version 9.2.2.693.
When I try to load the report in my application, I get the following error.
Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer
Page Header plus Page Footer is too large for the page.Error in File rptName.rpt:
Page header or footer longer than a page.
OK
There are no 'suppress blank sections' option set in the sections where the sub-Reports are.
I also tried setting the No Default Printer option.
The report gets loaded from the application only when I set 'New Page after' in the sections where there are sub-Reports.
I do not want to do this; Is there a workaround?
Thank you.

Can someone tell me if this problem is being worked on as it looks as thogh none of the problems regarding the message u2018Page Header plus Page Footer is too large for the pageu2019 have been addressed.
We have several reports that were written in Crystal 7 (I think) and worked in Crystal 9 and X1R2 but now give the above error. We have tried jigging the report in line with the various suggestions but at best can get them to run through successfully with one lot of data and then fail on the second or subsequent pages when you vary the data or report format even slightly. We can report on every bit of data separately or in various combinations but not in others. Changing the bottom page margin by 0.01 cm can cause it to fail on page 7 instead of page 530 (for example). We certainly do not have large page headers (just over 2cm) or page footers (about 0.3cm). We do have some subreports in the details section but have used 'fit to section', added 'keep together', removed u2018keep togetheru2019 from just about everything we can (in desperation) but to no avail. We cannot see a pattern to what is happening. It would be encouraging to know that someone is actually working on this fault.

Crystal 2008 - New Page Setup options - need explanation please

I have been unable to locate documentation on the new Page Setup screen for Crystal 2008. I am specifically looking on detailed documentation about the following check boxes:
Printer Options:
     No Printer
Page Options section:
     Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size
Margins section:
     Adjust Automatically.
Can someone please detail for me these options. I'd like to know why I would use them and how do they work when combinations of them are selected. I am most interested in the second option (above), but would like explanations about all of them.
Thank you.

I do not think the No Printer option is valid for us as our reports are not web based.
Does the Adjust Automatically apply to the reports as they are run from a runtime client? or does this just adjust for design mode?
This is why I am asking about the 'Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size'. It sounds like this is the setting we may want to check when creating our reports before we distribute to runtime clients.
Here is why I want to know.
We develop our reports to fit 8.5 inch x 11 inch paper. We distribute our reports to our clients along with the runtime merge modules. We have a VB.Net 2005 program that our non-vb.net software application executes in order to print the reports (using the Crystal for .NET methods, etc.) from our software application.
Some of our clients are in Europe. They use A4 paper. We have re-designed some of our reports so the fields will fit within both paper sizes (8.5x11 and A4). However, we have over 500 reports we distribute, so we have not modified all reports. Therefore, prior to Crystal XI, we recommended to our runtime users that if the data on the report did not fit on the A4 paper (it was truncated), then they need to go into the printer properties (from the printer dialog box...these are users running the report, not developers) and change the report from portrait to landscape before they print. This would print the report landscape with data across 8.5", and then white space on the right/remainder of the page, but all the data would print, nothing truncated. After we installed Crystal XI, using this option of selecting landscape at print time, no longer worked. The report would print with the orientation in which it was created (in our case portrait) regardless of what the user selected from printer properties.
This is why I am asking about the 'Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size'. Can someone at SAP elaborate on this please?

Crystal Report Crosstab Page Number Issue

Hi Gurus,
I am creating the crystal report which has variable column fields, so the number of pages are variable.
The issue is, When i place the page number on the footer, It display only at the end of the page saying '1 of 1', I read lot of forums regarding this issue but didn't get resolved yet.
My crosstab is in the report header, I even tried the dummy group and placed the cross tab in that group. In that case i am getting '1 of 1' in all the pages.
Can you guys please help me to resolve this issue
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Try this Knowledge base article : It works for all cr versions
Symptom
In Crystal Reports (CR) 9, a cross-tab needs to have page numbers for its virtual pages in the format:
"1", "1-1", "1-2", and so on.
How can the virtual pages of a cross-tab be numbered?
Resolution
Virtual pages can be numbered by conditionally formatting the 'Display String' property of a Cross-Tab field.
Displaying Page Numbers in Cross-Tab Virtual Pages
1. Right-click the top-left of a cross-tab and click 'Cross-Tab Expert'.
2. In the 'Cross-Tab Expert' dialog box click the 'New Formula' button, then name the formula 'Page Number'.
3. In the Formula Editor enter a blank space (" ") then click the 'Save' button. Close the 'Formula Editor' dialog box.
4. In the 'Cross-Tab Expert' dialog box select this formula from the 'Available Fields' box and move it to the 'Columns' box. Use the 'Up' arrow for the 'Columns' box to move it to the top of this box.
5. Click the 'OK' button to close the 'Cross-Tab Expert' dialog box.
6. Right-click the 'Column #1 Name' field on the cross-tab and click 'Format Field'. The 'Format Editor' dialog box will appear.
7. On the 'Common' tab click the 'X+2' button next to 'Display String'.
8. Enter the following formula in the 'Format Formula Editor':
global numbervar PageNum;
PageNum:= PageNum + 1;
if PageNum > 1 then "Page # " + totext(pagenumber,0) + "-" + totext(PageNum - 1,0)
else "Page # " + totext(pagenumber,0)
9. Click the 'Save and Close' button to close the 'Format Formula Editor' then click the 'OK' button to close the 'Format Editor' dialog box.
When previewing the report, the cross-tab will display "1" for the first page and then "1-1, 1-2" and so on, for the subsequent virtual pages. Navigating to page 2 will show "2" for the first virtual page followed by "2-1, 2-2" and so on.
Background
'Virtual pages' are the pages on a cross-tab from left to right as opposed to the actual pages that are accessed through the 'Navigation' buttons.
When you create a cross-tab that is wider than the specified page size, CR automatically spans the printing across enough pages to accommodate the width of the cross-tab. In the Preview tab, a line will appear at each page break.

Drill down in crystal on same page

I have hierarchy in my Report . I want to do drill down on that hierarchy field on same page . So that that user can Expand and collapse that field . Pls , i am waiting for your reply.

In-place drill-down is not built into Crystal but you can add such functionality if you develop your own viewer application with the Crystal runtime components. You can see a [video demonstration|http://www.milletsoftware.com/Download/DLV_InPlace_DrillDown.wmv] of how this works in my viewer app.

Crystal Report Viewer Page Change Refresh Issue

Hello
I hope this is an easy question for someone out there.
I am using a crystal report viewer with the code contained in the page init event. The report has several pages and opens in a separate tab. There is also a on demand drilldown sub-report in the report.
When I want to move to the second page the viewer seems to process the code again (like its runs the page init event) which takes several seconds so will not be satisfactory for the users. I tried the concatenate the pages using the 'SeparatePages' property but then the user can't select a specific page.
Is there any way that the report can just open in the viewer and not have to reload everytime the user changes page?
Thanks in advance
Dave.

Hi Dave
In a web app, you could place the reports in session. See KBA: 1985571 - How to use sessions in web applications using the Crystal Reports viewer (the complete code)

How to change the Crystal Reports start page

The CR Start page has a panel on the bottom half which displays Highlights, Key Resources, and eLearning tabs. It is annoying. How do I turn it off?

One more idea:
Go to your below directory on your machine:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\Start Page\en
Take a backup of start.html file (If the below, doesn't work you can put it back)
Open start.html and edit in notepad remove below code and save it , your annoying tab disappears
<div id="onlinecontent">
<iframe width="100%"
height="1200px" align="center" scrolling="auto" FRAMEBORDER="0" class="resources" id="onlineresourse"></iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">InitializeResourcesTag("onlineresourse")</script>
<script type="text/javascript">SetFrameSource("onlineresourse")</script>
</div>

SAP Authentication doesn't come on CMC and Infoview page

Hello Guru,
I am new to BOE installation. I have installed BOEnterprise 3.1, FP 3.5 & SAP IK 3.1, FP 3.5. I am not getting Authentication as "SAP" on CMC and Infoview.
I don't have PartnerPlatformService in my installation directory as well as the drive where i installed BO Enterprise.
1. C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\warfiles\WebApps
2. C:\Program Files (x86)\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps
I am not able to find war files and PartnerPlatformService on the above two paths. Is it the main reason behind the SAP Authentication ? What changes do i have do to to get SAP as Authentication ? If i don't have PartnerPlatformService anywhere then from where do i find it and how to deploy it ?
Regards,
Komik Shah

Hi Ingo,
Thanks!!! I checked SAP JCO file deployment before and it is available on server.
I also read the document prepared by you for installation of SAP IK. I followed all the steps but still not getting SAP as Authentication.
What i see as difference is "I don't have PartnerPlatformService" in my BO Enterprise installation directory and that is why it is not seen on the C drive where i installed Business Objects. I have other customers where i have installed BO Edge series and i can see SAP as Authentication and there i could also find PartnerPlatformService in Installation Directory as well as C drive.
If i don't have "PartnerPlatformService" in my BO Enterprise directory then how should i get it ?
Thanks again for your help
Regards,
Komik Shah
