Date parameter used in report selection

Post Author: calj
CA Forum: Upgrading and Licensing
In CR XI, is there an option to convert date/time fields to date that was under Report Options in 8.5? In the Select Expert date/time fields display the time, and date parameters are not listed unless their type is also date/time. How do I convert the database fields to date only so that date parameters appear in the list of values?
I recently upgraded from CR 8/8.5 to XI and and it is not an issue for converted reports, only for those created in XI. I've changed the settings under Options (Fields/Date Style = mm/dd/yyyy) but that doesn't make a difference. Since it works for converted reports, I must be overlooking something in the options dialog.
Thank you.

Create data models using interactive reporting

Hey guys,
I was wondering how you create data models using interactive reporting. An simple example would be great? I would really appreciate if I could get an answer.
Also, I wanted to understand a real world situation that you guys might have faced with creating data models, etc...thanks a ton :-)

Your question is not that much clear on what you are asking for.
But for reference please have a look at the below doc which explain the Integration with IR and webanalysis what you require.

Need help with parameter fields and report selection.

Hi all:
I hope some one can help me with the problem I am having with my parameter field and record selection.
First, can anyone explain to me why my parameter field CustStart, which is dynamic and is based on the field Customer in the table CustMaster. There are over 1800 records in the CustMaster table but the drop down list only shows maybe about half of them and there is no way to scroll down to the last customer record. What am I doing wrong?
Second, is there any way to base a parameter field on a formula field on my report? On my report I have created a field Cust that is the customer name and number joined together in one field. I would very much llike to use this formula in my record selection and in my parameter field. Can it be done?
All help is greatly appreciated
Thanks,

Hi,
You can use the following for changin increasing the LOV.
Crystal Reports XI BusinessObjects Enterprise XI
For performance reasons, in Crystal Reports XI Release 1 and Release 2 the maximum number of values that are returned for a list of values is set to 1000. If you have a cascading List of Values (for example Country > Region > City), the lowest level (in this case City) will only display a maximum of 1000 values. This means that the higher-level prompts may display far fewer values than you expect. The list of values provides the data for the dynamic parameter list.
How can you modify the maximum number of values available in a dynamic parameter list?
Resolution
To increase the maximum number of values available in a dynamic parameter list, you must add a registry key.
CAUTION     The following resolution involves editing the registry. Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use the Registry Editor at your own risk. For information on how to edit the registry key, view the 'Changing Keys and Values' online Help topic in the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
It is strongly recommended that you make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat on Win9x computers) before you edit the registry.
Crystal Reports XI Release 1
1.     Create a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV.
NOTE     Alternatively, you can create the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV and that key will override the settings of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV key.
2.     Add a string value "MaxRowsetRecords" and set the value to the maximum number of values that you desire for your report. For example, a value of 2000 will return up to 2000 values in the lowest level of a cascading parameter. NOTE: The value 0 (Unlimited) will not work with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI, you must specify another value.
NOTE     The higher the number of values is, the longer it will take the Enter Values dialog box to populate with values.
3.      After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.
Crystal Reports XI Release 2
1.     Create a registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV.
NOTE     Alternatively, you can create the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV and that key will override the settings of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions\LOV key.
2.     Add a string value "MaxRowsetRecords" and set the value to the maximum number of values that you desire for your report. For example, a value of 2000 will return up to 2000 values in the lowest level of a cascading parameter.
NOTE     The value 0 (Unlimited) will not work with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI or Crystal Reports Server XI, you must specify another value.
3.     After making changes to the registry, restart the affected service or application as required.
I hope this helps you.

Pass a ViewObject as a data parameter into Oracle Reports

Can I pass a ViewObject as a data parameter in an Oracle Reports jsp Report?

you can use impliment this script to your query get data from file
function AfterPForm return boolean is
infile text_io.file_type;
linebuf varchar2(3000) := '';
filename varchar2(100);
v_employee_id varchar2(2000);
begin
filename := :P_file_name; /* you can pass the file name like this c:\temp\test.txt */
infile := text_io.fopen(filename,'r');
loop
text_io.get_line(infile,linebuf);
v_employee_id := v_employee_id| |linebuf| |' ';
end loop;
if text_io.is_open(infile) then
text_io.fclose(infile);
end if;
exception when no_data_found then
text_io.fclose(infile);
v_employee_id := replace(rtrim(v_employee_id),' ',',');
:p_employee_param := 'and employee_id in ('| |v_employee_id| |')';
/* you can use either 'where employee_id in ('| |v_employee_id| |')' or
'and employee_id in ('| |v_employee_id| |')' */
return (TRUE);
end;
I think it will help you to solve your problem. Do not forget to put &v_employee_param
Good Luck

How to show muliti language data correctly using webi reports

Hi ,
Can you please suggest me how to show multi language data correctly in webi reports .
Do we need to install any lang pack in both server and client machine ?
Thanks & Regards
Venkat

you mean using translation manager? or data from DB? or both.
You need to make sure that your DB is already configured for multiple languages.
Enable the OS for multi languages
On XIR3.1, you will need to install language packs on the processing servers. then you can utilize translation manager.
Installation of Language Packs are a pain to install and update.

Select Date Parameter in Crystal Report

Select fields Customer number ,Part code, transaction date, and sales amount from a table by month for a report . Report to run LastFullMonth.
However, need to include a date that lists the first time a customer bought the part previous to and including the LastFullMonth.
The date field in the table includes all transaction dates.
Can this be done on the same report?

Add an SQL Command something like (MS SQL):
select customer, part, min(salesdate) as FirstSale
from invoice_detail
group by customer, part
and link it to the other tables in your query.

Using Interactive Report Selection In A Procedure

I want someone to be able to select a set of rows using the interactive report filtering capabilities. Then I want to use the data from the selected rows in a procedure. Is there some way to obtain the query being used by the report; or, in some other way obtain the rows that are selected?
Thanks much,
Rick.

Hi Rick,
Information about the IR reports are stored on tables that can be accessed through the following views:
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_CAT
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_CGRPS
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COL
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COND
APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT
The ..._COND one may be most useful but you should check all of them. I haven't tried doing this myself but I think others have - a search on this forum may help there.

Passing comma "," to a report parameter using URL reporting

I have a simple report, which contains a string parameter. Everything work fine, except when I pass a string with "," in the parameter value.
I tryed the following url and both of them does not work, I also modify the report to display the pass-in prompt value and the string is cut off after the ","
Example 1:
http://.../crystalreportviewers115/viewrpt.aspx?id=42364&prompt0=ABC&apsauthtype=secEnterprise&apspassword=p1&apsuser=u1&viewer=actx
Output:
ABC shows up and the report run fine.
Example 2:
http://.../crystalreportviewers115/viewrpt.aspx?id=42364&prompt0=AB,C&apsauthtype=secEnterprise&apspassword=p1&apsuser=u1&viewer=actx
Output:
Only AB shows up and the report run with AB as the parameter's value.
Example 3:
http://.../crystalreportviewers115/viewrpt.aspx?id=42364&prompt0=AB%2CC&apsauthtype=secEnterprise&apspassword=p1&apsuser=u1&viewer=actx
Output:
Only AB shows up and the report run with AB as the parameter's value.
How do I pass the "," in the URL

Since you are using viewrpt.aspx (instead of opendocument), you would pass a comma using promptex instead of prompt
so an example url would be:
http://.../crystalreportviewers115/viewrpt.aspx?id=42364&promptex0="AB,C"&apsauthtype=secEnterprise&apspassword=p1&apsuser=u1&viewer=actx

Exporting to Excel data only using sub reports in Crytal 9

Post Author: pmstar
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using Crystal 9 verision.
I have .rpt file that used 4 sub reports .In the main report I placed all the sub reports in the(detail section) row and using the data for some caluculation in the main report to generate report fields.I placed the main report fields in next row( in detail section).However when i export the report .Its generating 5 empty rows and 3 rows with 0. I have pretty much followed the solution from the article "c2017620" published in BO.
Since i used the sub reports only to get some value for main report calculations .Is there any workaround for the following issue
1.I do not want to print the subreport data when exported to excel data only.
2.how can i get rid of the blank rows
We have a lot of reports which has the same issue and we need to get the reports to work in Excel Data only .The reports works perfect when used in PDF format but its mandatory that we need to give the reports to the client using Data only.
If possible, when responding with your recommendations, please include detailed steps. It would be very helpful.Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Of what i gather from ur scenario...this is what i did in one of my reports.
I had to use two subreports and they had to occupy one cell each, in line with other fields.
To obtain that,all the fields required in the subreport i put them into a text box.Therein restricting the fields to the txt box only...
Then import that sub-report as it is.
It worked for me....
try out...
All this only if've understood u right...

What data sources use for report which looks like tr. FS10N

Hello,
I would like to create report in BW which will looks like transaction FS10N (G/L account balance display). Can anybody give some tips which data sources I should use and how initialize these data sources?
There is old genereal ledger in our system, so I suppose that I need data sources 0FI_GL_20 and 0FI_GL_21 but I don´t know how initialize it.
Thanks for help.
Regards,
Karel

Hi Suman,
I asked because f.e. retail data sources 2LIS_03_BF or 2LIS_03_UM had to be initialize via tr. OLI1BW and OLIZBW. After that data sources were filled and then data could be loaded to BW by infopackages. But thanks for info that some data sources needn't initialization. By the way, is somewhere info about this (if data source need initialization and how find out transaction for initialization)? Thanks for advices.
About data sources 0FI_GL_20 and 0FI_GL_21: We delayed this because there is needed to switch on function Reporting financials (tr. SFW5) and other things -> I didn't recieve confirming (from higher position) that I can switch it on

Printing Chinese Date format using Oracle Reports

Hi ,
I need to print the date as for e.g, 2006 4 12 (Year Month and Day) with a chinese character after each of the three components, representing the year, Month and Day.
When running the report with the format mask as RRRR Mon DD, I get the chinese character for the Month component and not for the year and day. I tried with different format masks available and also tried with somehting which is not in list as well. But, I couldn't get the intended format.
Is there anyone who has done this before? If so, pl. let me know the way to get this done.
regards,
tilak

Hi Olga,
If the Date in the database is date (not datetime) means you cannot use a DD-MON-RR HH:MI:SS in your reports.
If you want to show date with time means, change the properties in Oracle Forms of that date field and assign datetime as datatype.
So that the value inserted to the field will become datetime. and automatically if you use this column in your report you will get date along with time.
Hope this clears...

Soofi

Sending Date parameter from the form to Report

Dear Friend
Hi everybody, I am sending the date parameter to my report through a form ,and my date format in the form and in the report as follow : DD/MM/YYYY but when I enter the date as 18/1/2004 the system pass this value as follow : 18-JAN-04 but I want the system to pass my date format as 18/1/2004 not as 18-JAN-04 ,how can I do that
Best regards
Jamil

Ino,
thanks for your answer.
You're all rigth abouth the index issue. So I've written my SQL like you say in your post. But i get an error : "ORA-... Non-character found where character expected... " or something like that. I've checked nls_date_format in my client machine and the server (DB 8.1.7.4), and also the regional settings in both machines, and all are set to 'DD-MON-YY'. What can be wrong?
Thanks again for your time.
Jaime.

SSRS 05 snapshot with dynamic date parameter

I want to use snapshot for a SSRS 05 report due to high volume of report data. This report uses 2 date parameter which will keep changing every month ( mmyyyy) format. I read many blogs but it seems I can not have snapshot report in dynamic date situation.
Can someone please suggest if there is any workaround to use snapshot with dynamic date parameter . The report server version is 2005.
Gaur

Hi Gaur,
In Reporting Services, the snapshot is a report that contains layout information and data that is retrieved at a specific point in time. There’s a couple of requirements in order to use a snapshot:
Stored credentials for the data source.
Defaults for all Parameters.
Based on my research, we can use snapshot with dynamic date parameter. When we select 'Render this report from a report execution snapshot’ with a schedule and Apply in Execution tab, a snapshot is created and subsequently refreshed on a schedule. When we
render the report at a time, the report would be rendered with the latest snapshot layout information and data, then use the current parameter value to filter the snapshot report data. In this way, the current data would be different from the snapshot report
based on the current parameter values, but we can still use snapshot with dynamic date parameter.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Can we pass data-parameter in host

Can we pass a data-parameter to a report using host command in the form.
urgent please
vishal

Your answer is quite correct, but it is stupid behavior - how do you build backwards compatibility into a function if you have to specify the keyword 'default'?
For example, I have an existing function that takes one parameter, but I need to alter it to take two parameters. I work for a large bank that has a rigorous change management process, and this function resides in the data warehouse, so many
people can use this function in their code, and I need to ensure that any changes I make are backwards compatible, and don't break any existing code that I don't know about.
If this was a stored proc, I could call it without the optional parameter, and the default value would be applied, but a function needs me to specify the keyword 'default' or to provide a value.
My only option seems to be to create a wrapper function that calls either the old function (if only one parameter is provided) or the new function (if both parameters are provided). Sort of defeats the purpose of having default or optional values.

Date Parameter in XML Publisher Enterprise

Hello,
Can someone tell me how to set up a date parameter in XML Publisher Enterprise? I cannot seem to get the right format for a date parameter, so my report will run. This report requires a date to be entered before the report can run. I am trying to use the format 'YYYY-MM-DD'.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thank you,
Susan

Hi Susan,
I also had some problems but found out the spelling is the key, so letters for day and years has to be small letter, letter for month has to be capital - a sample date format looks like
dd-MM-yyyy ( check the possible formats of fields in RTF-Templates! )
But anyway using date parameters seems a little instable in 5.6.2 - I have to save the parameter all the time even if I didn't change anything otherwise there was runtime errors
