Crystal XI - Parameter
Hello Experts,
I am not able to delete a unused crystal reports parameter. Any ideas of why not? It's not being used it does not have green check mark on it.
When export report definition it's not listed in there, so I do not understand.
Any direction is appreciated.
Thank you,
Padie
The report still 'thinks' it's being used somewhere.
Check all your formulas, filters (Select Expert), and possibly hidden fields on the report.
Last option...recreate the report without the parameter...yeah, I know...ugh!

Crystal report parameter problem while uploading in sap business one
Hi
All
I designed a crystal report using
stored procedure
and
Routemas user defined table
in sql server with three parameter
routname,from date,to date
these parameters are from storedprocedure only but not created in report
i set the parameter routename as dynamic and i assigned the routename field from routemas table
when i run the report in the parameter window it displays the list of routenames
upto this is k but
when i upload this report in sap business one 8.81 PL-05 and
run this report in sap environment First it asks parameters there
it didnt display the list of routnames
when the parameter routname is set as static and assign some routenames manually
then it shows the list in sap environment
Can any suggest the answer
Edited by: madhu ganga raju on Oct 17, 2011 7:06 AMHi Rhaul,
i don't exactly know why this is a problem, but if your not on latest (881 p10) then upgrade and try again.
Or as a workaround,
try saveing from CR to SAP with the CR add-on. That usualy works better then the import.

Crystal report parameter issue in SAP B1 8.8
Hi Experts,
We are facing following issue in Crystal report SAP B1 8.8 version
Can not open crystal report without mentioning optional parameters.
User is forced to mention all parameters
User should allow to open crystal report by mentioning mandetory parameters
if We set for the parameter value of field [Optional Prompt] to 'True' and then preview in SAP Business One, then although the dialogue is displayed, click 'OK' without populating the parameter value, the report is run
but in our case we are passing parameters through Stored Procedure and this option is block in report to do so.
means that option available to make optional true / false is block and we are not able to do anything.
Pls. provide solution

Crystal report parameter asking for DB login
Hi All,
I have created a crystal report in 2008, in my crystal reprot i have a command which gives me 2 columns and a stored proced which give me 6 columns and then i joined them in link tab.
Now in my report i have created a parameter using one the column from command. The data source for both are same database but diffrent tables.
When i exported the report to enterprise and try to schedle it, for parameter option when i try to edit the parameter it promps me for database logon every time (i.e. every time i edit parameter it promps for Db logon) and i have already provide DB creds in database information page.
BOXI R3.1 with no FP.
please suggest on this.
Thanks,
Nimesh.In CMC, what option did you select on the Database Configuration section of the report properties?
If it is " Prompt users for database credentials", then it'll prompt users for credentials whenever the report is run.
If it is set to " use same credentials as above" (not exact wording), then it don't ask for credentials. -

Crystal report parameter usage
Hi all,
I am facing a issue in designing crystal report. I want to display records in report as per user entered value of date parameter but in database if data is not present for given input date value then the report should run for value which is one older than given input date value which is present in database (In short, report run for near by older value than input date value if record is not present for entered input value) .
How to do it in crystal report.
Please help.
Any comment is valuable.
ThanksYou can try this - In your sql query select data for both the dates - input date and next higher date (something like where sale_date = {input date} or saledate ={input date}+1)
In Crystal do a record select filter to display the data for input date
For eg:
if sale_date ={input date} then
if count(sale_id) is not null then 'sale amount'
else ' '.
Basically use the idea not sure about how to put it in syntax without looking at other report elements....Hope it helps -
SAP B1 suspends when Crystal Report parameter screen appears
Crystal Report Add On is installed to my SAP B1 2007B (patch 10) system.
When I run a CR report, a parameter screen appears for me to enter required parameter values. The system seems suspended to all other B1 users until I submitted the parameter values.
Any idea of why this happens? And how to prevent this?
Thank you.Hi,
Is the addon download from SDN or developed by yourself?
If it is developed by yourself, please make sure to open the CR report in another thread.
You got to separate B1 Event Routine and Window Form Event Routine in different Thread.
Otherwise one will be hung.

Crystal Report parameter creating pages of lists to choose from
Hi All,
We have created a crystal report to produce statements for customers. We have added a dynamic parameter so the user can choose which BP Codes they want to run the report for, but the report creates several pages of codes, so, the user has to look through the pages to find the code to select.
Is there any way to stop the report from creating these pages? I have been unable to find any mention of these in the online help files.
ThanksHi Prem,,
I have created a crystal report which contains a parameter to choose a BP Code to run it for.
The parameter is a dynamic one, so it fetches the list from the database, however, instead of opening one drop down box to scroll & choose the BP, it creates 5 pages of lists, so the user first has to guess which page the BP might be on, then scroll through the page to find the code.
I need to know if there is a way to change this behaviour in crystal reports.
Thanks -
Crystal Report - Parameter issue (advanced dialog box)
In our wpf .net application we view the crystal report, the report prompts for entering 2 parameter values i.e 2 dates and inturn these parameters will be used to generate the crystal report.
The parameter panel on the left has a button (show advanced dialog box). This button should again invoke the same parameter prompt dialog box, so that the user can modify these parameters and the report can be regenerated.
Issue is that when I click on the the button, this generates a null reference exception in the code. The call stack is -
at CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.ParameterFieldInfo.get_isDCP()
at CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.InteractiveParameterPanel.ShowAdvancedDialog(ParameterUnit pu)
at CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.InteractiveParameterPanel.pu_ShowAdvancedDialog(Object sender, EventArgs e)

Please note, I used the .net reflector to debug the crystal report dll , the isDCP method looks like -
public bool isDCP
get
return (this.Attributes.Contains("IsDCP") && ((bool) this.Attributes["IsDCP"]));
Looks like the attributes value is null.
Please let me know your comments. Am I missing something while getting the report in the frontend.
I use crystal reports 2008 sp 2 (also note that my gac contains different version of crystal reports (cannot remove them - tried it) , with windows server 2003. I use web service with proxy to get the report from the local server.
Note I also tried to create sample application in which I specify the local path to reports source , this works. However when I tried to use webservice, i was getting soap exception.
Please let me know how solve above issueSo you found the Report Design forum, if you looked down one more you would have found the SDK forum, SDK stands for Software Development Kit if you did not know.
Or did you not mention you get the same error when you run this report in CR Designer, if so then you were in the right forum.
Try Service Pack 3 also

Crystal using parameter from universe
When creating parameter in a Crystal report using a universe the LOV becomes static. This is a weak limitation in the tool. Has anyone found a work around so that the parameter is dynamic as it was intended and the parameter LOV is refreshed each time the report is executed?
Hi Patrick,
Universe-based Crystal reports in BusinessObjects Enterprise XI and XI Release 2 can have dynamic parameters based on Universe list-of-values (LOV) objects. Crystal Reports only refreshes Universe LOV objects when the Universe is changed.
The two new methods for causing a LOV object to be refreshed in Crystal Reports are:
1. Refresh at every use. This simple option ensures the LOV presented to users is always up-to-date when viewing a report object. It doesnu2019t apply to scheduling, so this option doesnu2019t help when viewing instances of scheduled reports.
2. A new BusinessObjects SDK option has been introduced, allowing developers to write scripts or applications to control when LOV objects are updated. Applications can be triggered or scheduled in the BusinessObjects environment in a number of ways. Sample code is provided, showing how a group of reports might be scheduled to be updated.
Refreshing Universe LOV Objects
To ensure the Universe prompt is refreshed before each use, be sure to edit the object properties in the Universe Designer and set the Automatic refresh before use option.
Step:-
Right click the object.
Select the Properties tab.
Enable the Automatic refresh before use option
Crystal Reports will also update cached LOV objects when the report query is edited in the Crystal Reports Universe query panel.
I hope this information helps you.

Prashant. -

Crystal Report parameter problem
Dear experts,
I created a crystal report to display a bill of material.
To select the bill of material I created a paremeter ItemCode @SELECT * FROM OITM INNER JOIN OITT ON ItemCode = Code.
Unfortunatly SAP shows ALL Items from The Item Master instead of showing only Items that are the Owner of a Bill of Material.
Is there a way to solve this issue?
Thanks
Rüdiger
Edited by: Rüdiger Frank on Apr 18, 2011 11:36 AMHi,
Try this
ItemCode @SELECT * FROM OITT
OR
ItemCode @SELECT * FROM OITM INNER JOIN OITT ON OITM.ItemCode = OITT.Code

When i open the report from the infoview, the default values which was set in crystal is not available.We can set this at the CMC level, but a developer may not have access to CMC other than Instance manager.

Crystal Report Parameter Default Value
Hi All,
I have one issues regarding the parameter in the report.
I have two parameter field in the report. The scenario will be as below:
In my report, i have mobile no & passport no parameter selection. Currently in my report, the selection was like below:
{pax.mobile} = {?mobile} and
{pax.passport} = {?passport}
Formula above was placed in report's select expert. Each time user need to select or enter the two parameter above in order to select the entered data to be reflected into the report. However, my report REQUIRED to allowed null value from the parameter selection. I can enter mobile no but leave passport null, however with the formula above was unable to proceed to refresh the report. I have the formula as below, however it could not be able to work.
(if(hasValue({?mobile}) = true) then {pax.mobile} = '*ALL'
else {pax.mobile} = {?mobile} ) and
(if(hasValue({?patssport}) = true) then {pax.passport} = '*ALL'
else {pax.passport} = {?passport} )
The formula above will display all of the records and sometimes it will b hung.
Appreciated anyone who knows this able to advice.
Thanks.
Regards,
CKhi,
Thanks for your feedback.
I have try one of the example below:
if(hasValue({?Country})=false) then true
else {Customer.Country} like '*'&{?Country}
If country parameter is null, it will retrun all country. But i would like to return Country = 'USA' if my parameter value is null.
Is this possible to do it in the formula above? I tried something like below, but if has parameter value it will return the USA as well.
if(hasValue({?Country})=false) then {Customer.Country} = "USA"
else {Customer.Country} like '*'&{?Country}
