Deplying Crystal report on Oracle Appliaction Server

Hi
Our current application  has Oracle reports deployed on Oracle AS and Oracle Report Server. Can we replicate same scenario for Crystal report.
Means can we use Crystal Report on Oracle App Server / Oracle Report Server. Or do I need to use Crystal report Server

You need to understand the potential pitfalls of you process first.
First I'll assume that you have joined the two datasources on some field, something that you should include in your post. Please state in your next posting.
When you do so, then all of the processing related to joining the data happens within Crystal, and it is NOT a fast database server.
So it can take a looooooooooooooong time to do this, depending upon the number of rows and the joins involved. You haven't posted anything about the amount of rows returned by either query form Oracle or SQL Server, so we can't speak to that. Instead you say that you did it with Oracle and Access, which is pretty much meaningless here. The Access or Oracle table could have had only a few rows, this isn't a matter of Crystal slowing because certain types of connectivity or databases are used, it is a matter of volume.
I would consider linking the Oracle tables into the SQL Server database, or as many do, LINK (not import) all of the tables into an Access database and then do the queries in Access and expose a query as the source for the Crystal Report.
In either case, something will need to do the processing, and having Crystal do so is probably the slowest of your options.

  • Is it possible to call a Crystal Report from Oracle Forms.

    Hi Everybody,
    I got a Dout about Crystal Reports. Is it possible to call Crystal Reports from Oracle Forms.

    Hello,
    That depends are you running Forms via the WEB or client/server. I will assume you are running client/server since you are running crystal reports. The answer is yes. All you will have to do is use the HOST command or the win_api_shell to run the report. Look in the Forms manual for information on the commands and what else you may need.

    hi
    try something like this.
    DECLARE
    charWinHandle VARCHAR2(50);
    numWinHandle NUMBER;
    BEGIN Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'BUSY');
    charWinHandle := Get_Item_Property('Control.Rep',Window_Handle);
    numWinHandle := To_Number(charWinHandle);
    :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.WindowParentHandle
    := numWinHandle;
    :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.WindowState := 2;
    :Item('CONTROL.CRYSTALREPORT1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.Connect
    := 'DSN=;UID=' || Get_Application_Property(UserName) ||
    ';pwd=' || Get_Application_Property(password) || ';dsq=;';
    Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface,
    'C:\Sample_Rep.Rpt' );
    Set_Window_Property( Forms_Mdi_Window, Window_State,Maximize );
    Set_Window_Property( 'MAIN', Window_State, Maximize );
    :reptitle := 'Report Preview Window';
    numWinHandle := Crystal_CrystalCtrl.PrintReport( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface );
    Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'DEFAULT');
    END;NOTE: Change the report name and path according to your required file name and path in
    the "Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName" method call. Also, the connection string shown
    assumes that you will use the current USER and PASSWORD for the Form.
    - To make the above Form generic so that you can run any Crystal report from it, then create
    a parameter for the report name and pass it to the Form using CALL_FORM from any other Form.
    Then just replace the file name with the passed parameter.
    -. Run the Form
    If its correct/helpful please mark it thanks.

  • Calling Crystal Reports from Oracle Forms 10G

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to call a crystal report from Oracle Forms 10G.
    I have a button on my Form which when clicked calls a Crystal Report which the uaser then wants to save as a PDf file.
    Can someone please send me the code to do this and also the exact steps that are to be followed.
    Thanks
    Fm.

    Hi Andreas,
    I am trying to call the crystal report from an Oracle Form using a URL. No batch file is being used here.
    I am looking for a peice of code similar to run_product or run_report built in in Oracle which calls an Oracle report from an Oracle Form.
    Also I dont want to display the report on a screen or a window in Oracle Forms. I would like it to run just as we run an Oracle Report from an Oracle Form.
    Is that possible ? If yes please let me know the steps to do this.
    Thanks

  • Installation of forms reports and oracle application server 10g

    Hi,
    I have been using client server till now, now planning to move to 10g. Got the developer suite 10g.
    Tell me how and where to install forms/reports and Oracle application server... I mean forms reports should be on developer PC then what about application server? should it be on a different dedicated server? or can i have it on database server?
    in case, if I install application server on one server and database is on another server then what about forms and reports?
    please tell me which is the right option?

    please tell me which is the right option?Ideally, you should have two separate server machines.
    One for the database server.
    One for the Application Server.
    The Application Server is basically used for hosting your forms and reports, so you dont have to place the forms and reports on the developer PC or at any other server.

  • Pls Help: View Crystal Report Via Oracle Form Builder

    Hi!!
    I want to know how to view the .rpt report (report made from Crystal Report) via Oracle Form Builder. I've to do it in my project. If you know, please tell me.
    Thanks in advance,

    I don't know how does crystal reports work, and I would guess you should ask the crystal guys to help you with this. find out if they have a command line interface that you can invoke from the host command in forms.
    We can help you do it with Oracle Reports though :-)

  • How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing p

    How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing parameter to it.
    how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.

    how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.This would entirely depend on crystal reports and you might find informations on crystal reports related communities more likely...I for one have seen crystal reports the last time about 12 years ago. And even back then I simply acknowledged it's existence instead of working with it.
    Maybe crystal reports can be invoked via a URL call which would make it simple as you'd need simply build an URL and show the report using web.show_document. But that's pure speculation. Also you might not be the first with this requirement, so the solution to your problem might be right under your nose and just a little google search away ;)
    cheers

    Hi Ganesh,
    As this error comes when you are trying to insert non-numeric value into a numeric column in db it seems that your field might be numeric and you are trying to send it as a string in database.
    Please check your Store Proc carefully..

  • How migrate crystal reports to oracle bi publisher ?

    Hi experts,
    i have a experienced with development of crystal reports.
    now my work demands migration of crystal reports to oracle bi publisher.
    may i know how to converts all crystal reports formula's in oracle bi publisher ?
    any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Simple answer, there is NO easy way to convert them.. You will have to get the layout from your crystal report file, then get a copy of data to test query to build data is returned in proper sequence to replicate report.
    If you were converting from Oracle Reports to BI Publisher, then you would have it easier..
    Just be happy you are not where I was 2 years ago.. I had over *600* crystal version 8 report files and started looking at converting them to BI Publisher...
    Thank you,

  • Crystal Reports To Oracle Conversion

    Has anyone gone through a Crystal Reports to Oracle Reports conversion? It appears from my limited review of what is available in Oracle Reports that Crystal offers alot more flexibility in how reports and charts can be formatted and displayed, and it also seems to be easier to retrieve/manipulate data as well. If anyone has any insights as to pros/cons of Oracle Reports vs Crystal, please post them.
