Deploying Reports

Post Author: bigjwman
CA Forum: .NET
I recently purchased CR X1 Developer. I wish to distribute reports that others in the company can run on demand, with data selection options for custom filtering. Basically, I want a report viewer with a pretty UI for data selection. I have Visual Studio .NET 2005. What skills do I need to create a viewer for Crystal Reports?

Besides having developer skills, there's not much else you need.
If you are new to CR, then I suggest you start with the CR .NET tutorials to learn how to use CR and what functionality is available. You can find this on the DevLibrary.
For your scenario, I would think you'd want to build an ASP.NET based application so that you can share your "report viewing" application to your users in your company. Using the CR Web Forms viewer, you can display the report and allow some level of interactivity (ie: drilldown, page navigation, etc). However, filtering data in the current report view is not built into the viewer itself. Instead you have to build some UI around the viewer that displays controls that will allow the users to select filter options (ie: dropdowns lists, textboxes, etc). Using the user selected filter values, you will need to rerun the report (on a postback) and redisplay the report.
This is just a general description of what you will need to do. How you decide to implement it is up to you. Hopefully this will be enough to get started.

Is there a command line method for publishing/deploying reports?

Is it possible to publish/deploy reports using the command line?
Also, it is possible to change the datasource for a report via some command line option?
I am developing the reports locally (Win XP), and then checking them into source control. They need to be deployed to a BO Server for Dev, Test and Prod.
I would like to be able to create a script to deploy the reports into the different environments.
In addition, the datasource needs to be changed before deploying to TEST (since it is on the same server as DEV, just a different port). Having to manually open each report and change the datasource as the reports are migrated could get to be time consuming as the number of reports increases.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Paul,
No, but you can do all of this using one of our SDK's. Look for samples above or from this WIKI:

Urgent!! Deploy reports for Developer suite 10g (Newbie)

Hi All,
I've generated few jsp report using report builder from developer suite 10g. I know in the developer suite 9i. I just copy these jsp files under \reports\j2ee\web. Then start OC4J Instance, and type in from browser as http://localhost:8888/reports/testreport.jsp?userid=username/password@dbconnection. However, it doesn't work for 10g. Is there any different in deploy report for 10g? Please help....
Thanks,
Best Regards,

Andy,
It's impossible to help us if you doesn't specify what error messages you get?
If I should take a guess, you're using the wrong port number. Did you check if it's correct before posting your message? Most Developer Suite 10g installations comes with port number 8889.

Deploying reports to 9ias

Is there a standard way to move Oracle reports to a 9ias server? Should they be put in a specific directory? I have not seen this documented anywhere.
Please advise

I assume you want to deploy "rdf" reports.
1) You can put it in any directory and set the path in REPORTS_PATH registry variable (HKLM\Software\Oracle\Home<x>)
2) Alternatively you can publish reports in Portal.
Please see the following link

How to deploy reports to anothe managed Server (Weblogic)

Hi everyone
I would like to know how could i deploy reports to another managed server in weblogic.
When i first installed forms and reports it asked me to where i want to deploy and everything works fine.
But i have created another managed server afterwards and i would like this server to be configured with reports, but it won´t work.
I don´t know if i have to run the installer again selecting this new server or is there another better way to do this.
Thanks for your help
Greetings
Mateo.

I think you need to extend the domain instead of creating the managed instance manually through Admin console. By default when you create a domain using OSB domain template, it deploys all of the applications needed automatically to all the instances. If you are trying to do it manually, then you need to follow the documentation to see which applications need to be deployed to use OSB services.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/doc.1111/e15017/configure_osb.htm#BGBFGBFF
To deploy a project, Login to SB console http://<admin>:<port>/sbconsole > System Administration > Export/Import Resources.

How to deploy reports from one environment to another in CoD

Hi Experts,
I'm actually in training with an Oracle partner in order to learn how to create reports in CoD.
It seems quite easy.
But the trainer here told us to develop directly the new reports on the Prod environment.
I've asked why, cause we also have Dev and Test environment.
And he answerer me that there's no way to deploy reports from one environment to another, the only way is to redevelop it on each environment.
As for me it seems impossible not to be able to deploy reports from dev to test and then test to prod, I'm directly asking experts.
So could you please confirm this or not, and maybe provide me an example of what you're doing on your side to copy from one environment to another.
Thank you in advance.

H,
reports cannot be migrated at this time, indeed.

Enforcement states for a deployment report status is not refresh..

Enforcement states for a deployment report status is not refresh.
We have deployed patches by software update and monitoring status by checking report
Enforcement states for a deployment. We have observed status difference in report and in actual PC. Status of One PC is
Downloaded update in report but actually that patch was
installed on PC.
why this difference and what is the solution to solve this.

Hi Garth - I don't recreate the SU group. I recreate the deployment from
the SU group.
The SU Group contains all deployed updates and the deployment is a "catch-up" and targets a collection of all clients on the particular platform ie. Server 2008 R2. It's a mandatory deployment and I've set it to report "all messages" as opposed to the default
"success and failure".
There's no particular SU that are showing ESU. It's the client that shows ESU via the report "Enforcement States for a Deploymennt", and it's only ever the clients that were "Pending System Restart" previously that change to "Enforcement State
Unknown". The software centre on these clients all know they're pending restart, and if the pending restart is performed on the client it will then change to "Compliant", but it never changes from ESU while its real state is "Pending Restart".
Hopefully that clarifies the scenario.
Like I said, I have a workaround, but I'd like to eliminate this behaviour on all my SCCM 2012 instances which are all affected.

How to deploy reports on production server in SSRS?

If I specify the Target server addr as follows :
http://[server name]/ReportServer and Deploy the report ,will it work ??
What all initial setup would be required to establish a report server in Development ??
after deployed, will get this error
The permissions granted to user 'LNM-PC\swtest' are insufficient for performing this operation.
any one help me?

Hi,
You may go through below links:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156006(v=sql.90).aspx
Also, to deploy reports through Report Manager you should have the Admin access and then you just have to upload reports.
Hope this helps.

What will be the peoplesoft query to calculate voluntary termination count and involuntary termination count? I am working on OBIA HR analytics workforce deployment reports and need to validate the reports

what will be the peoplesoft query to calculate voluntary termination count and involuntary termination count? I am working on OBIA HR analytics workforce deployment reports and need to validate the reports. I also want to know the tables involved

Hi Andrew,
Part A:
I've done some restating of the question, and distributed the calculations among several fields, not all of which need to be included on the visible layout. Other than formatting the Date fields and moving the 'Completed Date' field and its label, I've left this in the default "Layout 1" produced by AppleWorks.
Field List:
Priority: Popup menu with six items: 00, J, D, 1, 2, 3 Defaults to 00
TL (time limit in months): Calculation: CHOOSE('Priority',0,1,3,4,6,12)
Received: Date. Option: Automatically insert today's date (ie. Date Record created) (may be edited)
Target Date: Calculation:
DATE(YEAR('Received')+INT(MONTH('Received')+'TL')/12,MOD(MONTH('Received')+'TL', 12),DAY('Received'))
Remaining (Days): Calculation: INT('Target Date'+1-NOW()) (see revision below)
Completed: Checkbox. Set default value to Unchecked.
Completed Date: Date: Entered manually
OnTarget: Calculation: IF('Completed',IF('Completed Date'<'Target Date',"On Target","Over"),IF(INT(NOW())>'Target Date',"Over","On Target"))
The On Target field shows the current status of the case while still open, and the state on the closing date when it was closed.
Having done that, I was unhappy with the Remaining field continuing to calculate an ever larger negative number after the case had been closed. Hence this revision below:
Remaining: Calculation: IF('Completed','Target Date'-'Completed Date',INT('Target Date'+1-NOW()))
Shows the number of days remaining while the case is open, the days remaining at completion if the case has been marked Completed and the completion date entered.
Rsults (and some further formatting of the Layout) below.
Part B:
You will need Subsummary parts when sorted on Completed and on On Target. Fields can appear on a Layout only once, so each subsummary part will need a separate Summary type field for each field to be summarized.

Barry

Hello,
How are you deploying the reports? Via Visual Studio, Report builder or manually uploading RDL files?

Deploying reports for a WPF application

hi,
we should create and deploy reports for a WPF application. The app is developed in VS 2013, following the MVVM pattern and using Oracle DB.
We are newbie with this matter, so we are searching the best approach to accomplish the job. Our goal would be detach reports from the deployment package and store them to a server folder, so that users can run them by editing something like:
http://myserver/myapp/reports/[reportname]
The issue we are experiencing is that reports seem to be launch from the user's computer, and need a Oracle Client installed on each client computer to load data, while the application works with no Oracle Client installed. We tried both Crystal Reports
and Report Viewer, and installed an Oracle Client on the report server; but we could not get them to work. we also tried to install ReportViewer Reporting Service, but we dont know how it works. notice that company policies forbid installing Oracle Client
in the client computers.
Can anybody give us some hint on what is the correct approach to solve our problem? thanks

Hi,
ClickOnce deployment allows you to publish Windows-based applications for simplified installation.
For how to create Report , You'd better consult following forum:
#Report Viewer
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=vsreportcontrols
Oracle and Crystal Reports is third party software,I recommended to consult the software provider directly, I think they can give more precise troubleshooting.

Windows SBS 2008 Deployment Report for Updates in SBS Console Is Empty

The SBS Console on my Windows SBS 2008 is able to report updates which are available for deployment, and it also is aware of the number of computers which are affected by the update in the Security>Updates summary page in the SBS console. However, if
I select an update and click "View the update deployment report," there are no computers listed.
I have gone through the steps outlined in these posts:
Repair monitoring and reporting features in Windows Small Business Server 2008
SBS2008: Windows SBS Console may crash because of incorrect Environment Variables
My variables read read TEMP=C:\user\me\appdata\local\temp\1 and TEM=C:\user\me\appdata\local\temp\1 from the command line, but in the Environment Variables window, they both read as C:\user\me\appdata\local\temp\
SBS 2008 Console May Take Too Long to Display Alerts and Security Statuses, Display Not Available, or Crash
(I was unable to run this from the command line, even though I was running the command as administrator, and had remote connections allowed. I ended up running this command in the SQL management studio.)
Repair Windows Update Services
I am sorry for the missing hyperlinks, but I am not allowed to post them until my account has been verified. Searching for the article titles in bold will take you to the referenced page. I thought it would be helpful to mention the steps I have tried to take
before taking to the forums with my problems.
Any ideas? Does this need any clarification?

I did take a look at the console. When I refresh the list under the Updates
tab in the Security ribbon, I get multiple lines of:
[11340] 140114.090516.2325: Update Services: GetConfiguration: level Medium is read from config file C:\Program Files\Windows Small Business Server\Data\sbsconfig.xml
[16772] 140114.090535.4166: Update Services: GetConfiguration: level High is read from config file C:\Program Files\Windows Small Business Server\Data\sbsconfig.xml
Then, every time I try to view the computers to which a particular update apply, the console throws these lines into the Console.log:
[8416] 140114.090659.3547: AdminTME: Committer: RunAsync TaskViewDeploymentReport
[21016] 140114.090659.3703: AdminTME: AdminDataLink Running Task: TaskViewDeploymentReport
[21016] 140114.090659.3703: AdminTME: Status: TaskId = TaskViewDeploymentReport, RootTaskId = TaskViewDeploymentReport, Success: True, Warning: False, Continue: False, Message:
[8416] 140114.090700.5420: AdminTME: Committer: Completed called
[8416] 140114.090700.5420: AdminTME: Committer: Task was cancelled.
[8416] 140114.090700.5420: AdminTME: Committer: Committer Completed.
Now that I have been verified, I can include this screenshot, where you can see that I am expecting 4 computers to be listed in the pop-up window:
Any additional thoughts? In the meantime, I will be doing some searching on the new adminTME lines.

Deploy reports in ssrs which are renamed and avoid multiple copies

Hi, I have renamed few of my reports renamed and checked in. Usually we deploy it from BIDS off of TFS reports solution. We are using SQL Server 2008 R2 version. I tried deploying these reports to DEV & QA environments and report manager has 2 copies
of the same report one with the old name & the other with the rename. What would be the approriate way to delete these reports from Production without having to do it manually.
Thanks in advance...........
Ione

You have to delete them manually in this case.
There is no way around it.
Thanks! Josh

Create and deploy reports that don't depend on concrete environment.

I want to do the following:
Create a report in my sandbox for using with SCCM 2012 reporting system. Report will show customized hardware inventory information. Then install that report on production environment. Production environment is differ from my sandbox. Different report server
URL or data source DB name and etc. Only stable part of report is the SQL query and display options.
Does anyone know how can I achive this?
Currently I am looking at rs.exe utility but I'm not sure that is a right way.

You can achieve this using rs.exe
Datasource name can be made dynamic by using expression based connection strings
