Dashboard based on Crystal Report's Latest instances for the logged in user

Hi,
I am trying design a dashboard based on LiveOffice-crystal report's latest instance for the logged in user. Also there is row level security in the universe on which the crystal reports is created.
In the live office connection i have selected 'latest instance by current user' in the refresh option and published the dashboard to InfoView.
when i open the dashboard in InfoView , i find the row level restrictions being applied for different users. But the data retrived is always on-demand data and not based on the latest instance of the logged in users.
Can anyone throw some light on this issue.
Thanks

Crystal Reports Marketing Documents are requesting the DocNum and Type

In 8.81 SP00 PL7, I have created a custom Purchase Order using Crystal Reports Developer (latest version supplied by Download Basket) I have published the Purchase Order using the Report and Layout Manager and the SAP Add-In in CR. However, everytime I go to preview or print a purchase order, I am prompted with a 'parameters screen' to enter the the document type (perhaps wrong terminology) and document number. Once I enter it, I get the report.
I was under the impression that if I enabled the report using the Report and Layout Manager or the SAP Add-in that the parameters would be set for me and automatically recognized. By the way, I am using a stored proc to get the data and I have included these items in the stored proc, as in the default crystal report provided.
Is there something else that I may be missing? Or is this something that I should be submitting as a bug?
Thanks in advance,
Donald

Hi Donald
Have you named the parameters correctly with the SAP specific names including the @ at the end in your stored procedure so that they flow through into the parameter fields in the report itself?. (Eg DocKey@ and ObjectId@)
Also, DocKey@ needs to be used to get the value of DocEntry in the purchase order record rather than DocNum.

Using crystal report to extract data from Audit Log

I have a customised form which contains main fields (i.e 20 fields) and when a field is changed, it's being recorded in the audit log.
Would it be possible to use Crystal Report to extract data from the Audit Log? Ideally, i would like the report to show me all the latest field values in a spreadsheet type format (i.e. one field per column)
Has anyone try this and if so, what is involved?

An element with both text & a sub-element is a mixed-content element.
For example ElementA is a mixed content element.
<ElementA>
Text
<ElementB></ElementB>
</ElementA>
Extract just the Text from ElementA.
<xsl:template match="ElementA">
<xsl:apply-templates select="text()" />
</xsl:template>

Open a crystal report from WAD with passing the variables values

Hi,
I need to know is there any way to link SAP WAD to crystal reports (open a crystal report from WAD)and pass the values of the variables which are entered in the Web App. (e.g. Customer id,year) should be passed to the Crystal Report.
Maybe we need to pass parameter by WAD URL but this is just my assumption and have no idea how to do this with passing variable values.
right now I know the method of how Bex queries which are used as data source for crystal reports but in my current scenario we have the structure like this that bex queries link with WAD and then WAD is linked with crystal reports.
No doubt that Crystal report is target option in RRI but there the source is Bex Query only but in current scenario we are looking WAD (web template) as a source to crystal report or crystal report called in WAD.
Please suggest something on same.
Thanks
Take care

Hello Vishal.
Did you find a solution for this problem?
I'm facing right now the same problem, I need a way to link SAP WAD to crystal reports (open a crystal report from WAD) and pass the values of the variables which are entered in the Web App. (e.g. Customer id,year) should be passed to the Crystal Report.
Have found an answer to this issue? If yes, please kindly inform how have you solved this.

Crystal Report Viewer Credential Prompt for Report with Dynamic Parameters

The .NET Crystal Report Viewer is prompting for database credentials when launching a report containing dynamic parameters. This only occurs for reports created with SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer. Reports created with Crystal Reports XI designer (where dynamic parameters were first introduced) work correctly.
The credential prompt window contains the following fields:
- Server Name: <server name> (disabled)
- Database Name: <database name> (disabled)
- User Name: <empty> (enabled)
- Password: <empty> (enabled)
- Use Single Signon Key: false (disabled)
The values in the prompt window which are disabled are the database connection values used during the design of the report in the SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer.
Expected Result:
- No prompt for database credentials.
- Values read from the database should be populated in a drop down for the dynamic parameters.
Environment:
- Visual Studio 2010 (C#)
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4
- SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010
- SAP Crystal Reports 2011
The database connection is being set to use a DSN. It must be a DSN as the calling application is only aware of the DSN/Username/Password values. These values are being passed to the Crystal Report Viewer contained in a Windows form.
The database connection for the report is being set as follows:
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection otherwise the connection does not work
    if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
        internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
    // Supposed to set the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
    internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
The SetConnection method's signature is as follows:
   SetConnection(string server, string database, string name, string password)
As you can see from the code snippet above I am setting the DSN name as the server parameter, blank for the database parameter (a database connection using DSN should only require DSN name/Username/Password) and the database username and password respectively.
Is this a SAP bug?
Is this the correct way of setting the database connection to use a DSN?
Is there some other properties that need to be set somewhere else in the report through code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the pointer to the database connection code generator. After taking a look at the output from the tool I was able to finally get the dynamic parameters to load and populate properly without prompting for credentials. I needed to tweak the outputted code a bit to match my requirements of using a DSN only connection.
Instead of updating the database connection properties contained within the Report.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalReports.Engine namespace, I changed it to replace the database connection properties in the Report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel namespace. For one reason or another, using the RAS namespace solved the problem.
Below is the updated code with the change made:
using RAPTable = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table;
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection
    if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
        internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
    // Sets the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
    internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
// The attributes for the QE_LogonProperties which is part of the main property bag
PropertyBag innerPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
innerPropertyBag.Add("DSN", this.DSN);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UserID", this.LoginName);
innerPropertyBag.Add("Password", this.Password);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UseDSNProperties", "true");
// The attributes collection of the tables ConnectionInfo object
PropertyBag mainPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
mainPropertyBag.Add("Database DLL", "crdb_ado.dll");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_DatabaseType", "OLE DB (ADO)");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_LogonProperties", innerPropertyBag);
// Pass the database properties to a connection info object
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
connectionInfo.Attributes = mainPropertyBag;
connectionInfo.Kind = CrConnectionInfoKindEnum.crConnectionInfoKindCRQE;
connectionInfo.UserName = this.LoginName;
connectionInfo.Password = this.Password;
// Replace the database connection properties of each table in the report
foreach (RAPTable oldTable in this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables)
    RAPTable table = new RAPTable();
    table.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
    table.Name = oldTable.Name;
    table.QualifiedName = oldTable.QualifiedName;
    table.Alias = oldTable.Alias;
    this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation(oldTable, table);
this.report.VerifyDatabase();
Thanks again Ludek for the help.

Crystal Reports 2008; Can't select the certain table. Why?

Please help me everyone!
problem note:
I'm using Crystal Report 2008 to access MS SQL Server 2005 Database.
Everything was good until last month.
But somehow when I select the table "FTABLE11C", Crystal Repors hanging-up and no more Crystal Reports works.
If I copy the FTRAN11C to different name such as "aaa" using following statement and use Crystal Reports then I can select the "aaa" whthout problems.
Select * into aaa from FTRAN11C.
So, I drop the tbale FTRAN11C and copy FTRAN11C from aaa table using following statement,
select * into FTRAN11C from aaa
and select the FTRAN11C again on Crystal Reports 2008, Crystal Reports 2008 hanging-up again.
I'd like to know how to solve this situation.
Thanks.
1. We didn't have any patch on SQL Server.
2. I delete one field on table that named "FTRAN11C".
   That's all.
3. I tried following steps;
   a. Copy the file to another name.
        Select * into aaa from FTRAN11C
   b. Droped the bad table.
        Drop table FTRAN11C
   c. Copy back from saved table.
        Select * into FTRAN11C from aaa
4. Open Crystal Reports 2008
   a. Connect to database with OLD DB.
       Crystal Reports shows all the tables within database without any problems.
   b. Select the table aaa.
       No problems. It shows on right side box.
   c. Select the table FTRAN11C that is recently created from saved table.
       Now we have problems.
        It does not shows on right side box.
        Little circle displaying forever.
        If I click right side x, Crystal Reports 2008 is closed.
5. If I use following command on SQL Server Management Studio Express, all of data shows without any problems.
       Select * from FTRAN11C

Install all patches as you are on the original release:
Be sure you have the keycode, used to install the product, I will not be able to get you a new one if you lose it or don't have it available.
The easiest way to update is to uninstall CR 2008 and then install Service Pack 3 full build:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip
Then install SP 4:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
Then test your reports again.
As for using/upgrading to CR 2011 it's not required and likely won't make any difference but you can upgrade if you want of course.

Does Crystal Reports need to be on the web server?

Hello,
here's my scenario. someone who left us moved a .Net web application from server 1 to server 2 and didn't leave us notes of what he did. The report came up on server 2 fine but was not getting the right data so we changed the datasource to get the data correctly. Now we deployed the fixed version on server 2 and refreshed the web server. Now we see the correct results BUT the Business Objects icons (e.g. BO image, print icon, forward and back icon) are all "X" meaning that they could not be found.
We took a look at server 1 and it had the full version of Crystal Reports installed on it. On server 2 it looked like the DLLs were dumped into the GAC and that's all.
We're a bit perplexed by why it was working on server 2 with all the Business Objects icons even though Crystal Reports was not installed on it until we restarted the server with the fixed code. We were thinking maybe it's some sort of caching?? I've never seen this before so I'm a bit perplexed.
Any ideas on why this happened?
Thanks for taking a look.

Hello Jeff
Mysterious for sure. When you say;
no virtual directory to crystalreportviewers115 and Crystal reports is not installed on the server (except for seeing only a few CR Dll's)...so how the heck did he get it working
You're essentially saying something like;
The car has no wheels, no engine, yet somehow it managed to get from point A to point B.
Sorry to say, but it ain't happening...
The only way to get a project that includes CR to work is to deploy the CR runtime. Either via MSI file where a simple double click will install the runtime and configure the viewer directory under the default app pool, or via a setup project you build using the CR MSM files. Again the files will be installed and the viewer directory configured under the default app pool. If your app is under a custom app pool, you need to configure the viewer folder under that pool as the install has no idea about non default app pools.

LOV issue for Crystal Report 4.0 ( Enterprise ) using the BICS connection

Hi Expert,
I am working for one our client which is using Crystal Report Enterprise 4.0 SP 2 i am facing the following problem with the LOV .
- I have created the crystal report on top of BEx query using the OLAP connection in CMC .
I have the variable at BEx query level which have list of value around 100 K and user want to search through that LOV in order to make his selection but as soon as i include that variable in my Query and run my CR my report crashes and i cannot run the report .
I gave the user the option of manual input of value to that variable it does not work as it uses the BICS connection and i read somewhere we cannot use the manual input in case of BICS connection for crystal report you have to select the value from the LOV .
My Question is is there any workaround if we can restrict our LOV to some extent and let the user to select and search from that any setting if we have at query designer level to restrict the LOV to burst in the report .
Any input will be appreciated .
Thanks,
Vibhav

Hi gerardnico,
Thanks for the Reply.
But we are also doing the same thing creating one Group
(select 'WEBGROUPS', 'ALLOW'
from dual
where 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.Higher_Level)' = 'X')
which are having the access to the report but when we put the following in the init block there is access prohibited to all the users.
select 'WEBGROUPS', 'Secured User'
from dual
where 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.Position_Name)' <> 'NO ACCESS'
UNION ALL
select 'WEBGROUPS', 'ALLOW'
from dual
where 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.Higher_Level)' = 'X'
UNION ALL
select 'GROUP',
case when 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.Position_Name)' = 'NO ACCESS' then 'NO ACCESS' ELSE 'Secured User' END

Unable to get the composite instance for the invocation. This could be because instance has not yet been created or because the audit level for the SOA infra has been set to Off

I am on Oracle 11.1.1.7 BPM suite on W8 64 bit. I can't launch the flow trace and get the error "Unable to get the composite instance for the invocation. This could be because instance has not yet been created or because the audit level for the SOA infra has been set to Off". I have set the audit level to development at the soa-infra>SOA Administration> Common Properties > Audit level set to development and Capture Composite Instance State is Checked.
Can somebody advice.
Thanks

Can you please confirm me the following steps...
Log in to the EM console, Expand soa-infra (soa_server1) , go to the partition where your composite is been deployed, Click on your composite, On the right, click on the dropdown Settings and choose Composite Audit Level. you can choose to set the Audit Level for this composite. If you choose Inherit, it will take the settings to what the server is being set to. Otherwise, we can override it by choosing Off, Production, or Development.
Make sure your setting for that composite is not Off, keep inherit or production or development.
Thanks,

Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit). Have tried it on other browsers, and works as it should. The last add-on i installed for Firefox was "Fox Filter" so my kids couldn't accidentally stumble onto sites of immoral tastes. I can't see why that would have any effect, but it was the last update/add-on i installed to the browser, but even then,.......it was working fine for a week and a half afterwards until now. Please help.

Hello Steve.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
If you detect a faulty add-on, you should contact its author for support. You can also search for alternatives. Site filters are relatively common in the add-ons gallery: [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org].
