Database fields empty after creating a new (Crystal) Report in MSY

Hello,
I have some issues to use Crystal Reports in Mobile Sales Maintenance (MSY). The situation is as follows
My example is based on this standard report, which is working
Report Name: BPartnerActivities
Reporting Tool: Crystal Reports
Category: Standard reports
Subcategory: Lists
Report Type: Report
Data Source: Business Content provider
Business Content Provider: BPActivities
My requirement is to build a new report, which is based on the standard "BPartnerActivities" Report. If I use the "copy" functionality, I get an working Copy of the standard report. However, I need to modify the Business Content Provider, but I do not want to make the modifications on the standard content provider "BPActivities".
I am now forced to used the "copy" functionality to create a copy from "BPActivities" for my own Content Provider "My BPActivities copy", which I want to use in a new report.
Issue:
I cannot modify the defined Business Content Provider after using the "copy" functionality and hence forced to create a new report from scratch to be able to set a different Content Provider.
I create my own report "MyBPartnerActivities" based on the standard report "BPartnerActivities" using the same settings and assign my new business content provider.
If I use the "Design Report" or "Modify Report" button, the Crystal Report designer pops up. Now the problem, the Crystal Report designer does not offer me any data below "Database fields".
In the standard report, the "Database fields" has a child element "BOACTIVITY-ttx" with several field options. My own created report from sratch does now have anything?!
Why my report does not offer my any data or is there anything additional to do?
Another Test
I tried to create another report using the standard content provider "BPActivities", but I have still the same issue.
In addition I recongized that the "browse data" fuctionality does not work on the fields in the standard report. The path to the database file does not exist. It starts with "C:\WINNT\...", but my system has "C:\WINDOWS\...". But the executed report is able to retriev the data?!
Unfortunately was not able to find any proper documentation, but I would really appreciate any help.
Regards,
Andreas

Update
It looks like that the *.ttx file is not uploaded/create to/on the MSY system. The system shows the file in the Crystal Report Designer, but there is no file on the file system. The confusing thing is, that any standard report is still working and does not really complain about a missing ttx file. I think the content of the ttx file is somehow embeded to the report.
Does someone know how the system should behave? Should a ttx file be automatically created & assigned to any new report or do I have to create the file by my own every time?
Cheers,
Andreas

Turn Off BOXIR2 InfoView New Crystal Reports Document

How do you turn off the option of creating a new Crystal Reports document in InfoView?
We are only using the Web Intelligence functionality at this time in InfoView and the 'Crystal Report' option in the 'New' menu is causing confusion and curiosity and we want to be able to turn it off.
Any suggestions or documentation I can reference?
Thanks,

Hi John,
The below solution will not turn off the Crystal Report creation option from New tab in InfoView but it will not show the any option related to creation of Crystal Report. This will ensure that user can not create any crystal report from Infoview leading to step away the confusion and curiosity about it.
You can specify the Crystal Reports Explorer features that are available to each user.
Please try out the following.
1) Log on to CMC as as Administrator.
2) Go to BusinessObjects Eneterprise Applications; then click Crystal Report Explorer.
By default, each user is granted full access to all the available features. You can set the availability of each feature for specific users, or for groups.
3) So accordingly select Manage group or Manage Users Tab; and select the user or group whose options you want top modify.
3.1) If you want to set a user's access rights to be the same as for each group to which the user belongs, select Use Group Rights
3.2)If you want to set specific access rights for the user, ensure that you clear Use Group Rights check box, then select or clear features from the hierarchy of available options.
If users belong to more than one group, they will receive the combined access rights for all the groups to which they belong.

HT4942 After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

After Creating a new document or editing an old document in Pages on my iPad I no longer see the changes in Pages on my iPhone. iCloud services are on with both devices.

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

I am experiencing Mavericks failing to copy subdirectories from usb sticks, I am backing up game saves from a console. Both sticks I use are fine, same permissions of course since the console wrote the files. Sometimes it copies, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be related to the mounting process.
Thank God Apple hasn't (yet) broken bash.

After creating a new slideshow I export it with the setting HD 1080p it is then saved as a .mov i then create a dvd in idvd and the quality is not as good as the original photo's when viewed on the monitor or a TV, am i doing something wrong?

DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good. You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

After creating a new playlist in iTunes, how can I add my entire music library --at once-- to the new playlist. I want to download all my music from Icloud at once on my Macpro

You have two separate questions here...
To get all your music into one playlist, select Music in the sidebar and click the Songs view at the top. Then, highlight all the songs and drag them into your playlist.
I don't know if it's possible to download all Purchased content (or do you mean iTunes Match content?) at once; try a few Google searches.

Create event doesnt exist in BUS2012.check if custom business object exists for this by using 'where used list',probably it may have created event.

How to create user editable Crystal Report with dynamic dataset

What I would like to achieve:
A program loads a report in runtime updates list of database fields (possibly includes sample data), open report in "Crystal Reports 2011" (or 2008) where user customizes report and saves it. Later on the program loads the report, fills actualized data and displays it in .net report viewer.
What I do:
CrReport = New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
CrReport.Load(TemplateFilename)
Dim Results As DataTable
DataTable is filled from a database
CrReport.SetDataSource(mResults)
CrReport.SaveAs(NewReportPath, True)
The NewReportPath is opened in the default program.
What are the problems
The report is open in preview mode (not in design).
When the field is added to the report the designer asks for XML datasource on preview.

The short answer is that it is not possible. I broke the question to other two: How to save a report that it opens without preview? and How to create user editable Crystal Report with dynamic dataset, where it is possible to find details. Key answer is Re: How to create an editable previewable report?

Time Estimate for creating a new Discoverer Report

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to estimate time required to create a new Discoverer Report?
It would be great if anyone give me a template / tool for calculating the time estimate..I know, its a manager's job, but I am supposed to give this time estimate for a report.
The requirement is, to convert Apps standard Invoice Aging Report into Discoverer Report. As far as I know, this is much complex report in Apps.
Thanks!
Yogini

Hi Yogini,
I’ve just looked at the ‘Invoice Aging Report’, and it shouldn’t be too difficult to convert into a Discoverer Report.
The time scales really depend on the following:
-whether the Discoverer Report has been fully spec’d out by the customer.
Sometimes it’s not a matter of just copying a standard Apps report into Discoverer, as they can always be improved on. It’s best to get the customer to specify exactly what they want on paper first, such as any additional columns, sorts, what parameters etc. Creating a ‘Discoverer Business Requirement Form’ could come in handy, to capture all of this information from the customer, hopefully avoiding them giving you the run around.
-if the EUL has all the required items for the report
An item required in the report might not exist in the EUL. If this is the case, do you need to go through Change Control to get it put in? How long would this take?
-how quickly can get the report into a TEST instance for the customer to test before signing off the change to go in LIVE. Sometimes Customers can hold this process up, so give yourself a couple of days.
So the time you give really depends on how comfortable you feel with the module (AP) and the actual creation of Discoverer Reports. It obviously also depends on your business processes which can always slow things down.
As for the report, I’ve actually made a report very similar for the Transactions Age Debt (AR). It could help you a bit.
To calculate the Days Overdue you could use a Calculation below:
SYSDATE-Payment Schedules.Due Date
To calculate the 1 - 30 Days you could use a Calculation with a case statement below.
CASE WHEN Days Overdue BETWEEN 0 AND 30 THEN Balance Due ELSE TO_NUMBER(NULL) END
Otherwise no Time Estimated Calculation form… But hope the info will help.
Cheers,

Crystal Reports with MSY in CRM 2007

Hi there
We had built some reports for CRM Mobile Sales 3.0/4.0 with Crystal Reports in Mobile System Maintanance. Then we upgraded to CRM 2007 and some people still use this old reports. Now we have found an error in one of the reports. When I want to modify the report in MSY I get the error "Error while modifying report; try again". I chose the report in MSY and I click on "Modify Report". Then I get this error and nothing happens.
Is it possible that you can't edit Crystal Reports with MSY and CRM 2007 anymore? I found no information about this, so I hope someone can help me.
What do we have to do to let Crystal Reports work with MSY in CRM 2007?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
Regards
Marco

Hi Marco,
You might get this error if the reports were developed in CRM 3.0 and you want to modify in 4.0 because the dataconnection is different. I know there is some stuff on the marketplace which describes how to connect.
May be it is a login issue and note 756331 helps.
Btw. are you working for ASK in Koblenz CH?

Add a field in a form after creating a new column in a table

Hi,
I have searched extensively in the help menus and tutorials and maybe I have missed this, but after adding a new column to a table. How do I update the form so that when data is entered into the form it is populated in the table? Is there a tutorial or explanation of the process somewhere?
Thanks,

Hi
That has to be done manually but it is simple. Create a new item of the desired type e.g. Text Item, Select List by Right clicking on the region and select Create Page Item. A wizard will start where you will select the desired type. Press next and enter the name of the item. e.g. P3_LAST_NAME. Press Next and Enter a label for the Item. Press next and choose Source Type as Database Column when asked. Press Create button.
Hope it helps.

Some strange after create a new database

Hi All,
I try to create a new database on the Win 2000 ORA8I server (existing have 1 db already), after using the DBCA create it, I try to connect to new DB, but I found that all the control file are point to the old db's.
I've check that there are 2 SID (2 SID service found in services), tnsname is point to 2 different sid, listener also point to 2 different sid, below is the part of listener.ora and tnsname.ora
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = SVR1)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\oracle\ora81)
(SID_NAME = SVR1)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = SVR2)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\ora81)
(SID_NAME = SVR2)
)

I found that the problem is not so simple....
I try to recreate the servicesid and listener, without start the old sid service, the new SID cannot (should be "can") connect to new DB, but.
When I try to start the new SID and old SID at the same time, the new and old SID will connect to the same old DB.
I try to stop the old service again, both new and old SID cannot connect to DB.
try to recreate the service and listener and only start the new sid service, the sid can connect to new DB again.........
does anybody can tell me what's going on ?? I will be crazy......

Missing field info. after created by copy Customer

Dear Experts,
Found a problem relevant to creating by copy Customer using XD01. After extending Co. Code & Sales Area Data for the same Customer with ref. to another Co. Code & Sales Area, found that info. of a field "Prev.acct no. (Previous Master Record Number)" under "Co. Code Data - Account Mgt - Reference data", and Partners under "Partner Functions" of Sales Area Data could NOT be copied. Is it a standard SAP logic ? Could you advise reason for this ? Besides these, any other field(s) also CANNOT be copied after creating by copy Customer ?
Many Thanks,
KH Fong

Hello KH Fong,
"Prev.acct no." issue:
The "copy with reference" is a SAP functionality that allows you to quickly create customers master data. Anyway not all the fields will be copied into the new target master data. Even if You create a customer with reference and all the information will be reported into the new master data.
EXAMPLE:
- In Accounting info screen: ALTKN (Previous Master Record Number) or PERNR (Personnel number) are not saved.
- In Payment transaction accounting screen: LNRZB (Account number of the alternative payee) or ZAHLS (Block key for payment) are not saved.
- In Correspondence accounting screen: ZSABE (Clerk at vendor), TLFNS (Accounting clerk's telephone number at business partner), TLFXS (Accounting clerk's fax number at the customer/vendor), INTAD (Internet address of partner company clerk) or KVERM (Account memo) neither are saved.
Other fields as Reconciliation account, interest calculation indicator, terms of payment and so on should be reported into the new master data.
"partner function" issue:
Usually the partner functions, that are mandantory in a partner determination procedure are copied for the customer into the new sales area.
You need to check if the relevant partner functions are set as mandantory partner function in the partner customising:
- Transaction VOPAN
- Select 'Cust.Master' -> Button 'Display'
- Mark the relevant partner determeination procedure, that is
   assigned to the account group used, and double-click 'Partner
   Functions in Procdure' in the navigation on the left side
- Check which partner functions are marked as 'MandFunction'
   These are the partner functions, that are copied.
Hope above information is helpful.
Best regards,

Report will not run after upgrade to new Crystal server

My company has been using Business Objects version 11.5 Central Management Console and InfoView for Crystal reports. We are upgrading to
SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform 4.1 Support Pack 1 Version: 14.1.1.1036 Central Management Console and BI Launch Pad. I have one report that is using a sql command for nat2date of a database value that is running successfully on InfoView but will not run on BI Launch Pad. The nat2date function is converting a random number in our database to a date and then selecting the records for the report by using the LastFullWeek function.
({Command.NAT2DATE(PY_PAY_SEGMENT_T.FROZEN_TIME)} in LastFullWeek)
Is there something I need to add to the new CMC to recognize this sql command?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Ok, with BI 4.1 you'll need to use Crystal 2013 instead of Crystal 11.5. For the vast majority of your reports, you won't have to manually upgrade them because the 11.5 version will work fine in the new version of BO.
I suspect the problem you're seeing is with the "{Command.NAT2DATE(PY_PAY_SEGMENT_T.FROZEN_TIME)}" syntax. is "NAT2DATE(PY_PAY_SEGMENT_T.FROZEN_TIME)" the field alias that you're returning for this function? Or are you trying to call the function like this? I would call the function and alias it in the "Select" clause of your command so that it looks something like this:
Select
...<various fields>...,
NAT2DATE(PY_PAY_SEGMENT_T.FROZEN_TIME) as FROZEN_DATE
from
where
You could then change the selection criteria to something like this:
{Command.FROZEN_DATE} in LastFullWeek.
That will fix the report as is.
However, when you use the Select Expert for reports that have a command, Crystal will pull ALL of the data from the query into memory and then filter it there - it will NOT push this selection criteria down to the database. So, I usually recommend that you put all of the filter criteria in the Where clause of the command. You could use something like this to get "LastFullWeek":
NAT2DATE(PY_PAY_SEGMENT_T.FROZEN_TIME) between Trunc(Sysdate - 7, 'DAY') and
Trunc(Sysdate, 'DAY') - 1
"Trunc(Sysdate, 'DAY')" will give you the first day of the current week and "Trunc(Sysdate -7, 'DAY') will give you the first day of the previous week.
If you do it like this in the where clause, you may not have to include the "Frozen_Date" in the select clause.

After creating a new user account, how do I move my files into the new user?

I have an issue where my 'Desktop/Screensaver' prefs seem to be corrupt somehow. When I click on that icon in System Preferences, it stalls and I get the spinning ball, thus resulting in a force quit. After reading a Mac Format magazine where someone wrote in with a similar issue, they said to trash various prefs (did that and made no difference) and if that didn't work, try creating a New User account (therefore creating brand new system prefs) and move your stuff over.
Well, I've created the New User account, but I can't figure out how to move/copy my stuff into the user folders. After copying and attempting to move stuff in, I see folders with a red circle with a white line through it (like a 'no entry' sign).
Any clue as to how this can be done? All I'm trying to do is to reinstate the system prefs so they are not corrupt anymore on my log-in.

No. Not the main Library folder. Make absolutely sure you are in the Home Library folder and not the main Library folder.
Your Home Library folder is hidden in Lion. To get to it, in the Finder menu, select GO and hold the option key down. Select Library in the submenu. The Finder window will open in your Home Library. This is where your user prefs are stored.
Once there, you will see the Preferences folder. Open it up, select all items within it and move them to the trash. You will need to restart in order for the new Finder preferences to be recreated.
Once you restart, then you will be back to the default preferences to the system and all applications. And yes, it will affect all settings including your Dock, just as logging into a new user. You will have to reset everything there also.
If you wish to do a selective method, instead of deleting all preferences, try deleting the one associated with your problem. Screen saver problems should be affected by the system preferences, so try deleting this:
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
com.apple.systempreferences.plist.lockfile
Note that when you delete system file preferences, a restart will be required. For applications, just quit the application before trashing preference files.
