Hi
You can apply a suppress condition in section expert for details section with count of record as below:
- Open section expert.
- Select details section.
- Click on X-2 for Suppress.
- in the formula editor type the below formula:
Count(database field) = 20;
-Click on save and close.
-Click on Ok.
This would restrict data to 20 records only.
Hope this helps!!!

Idle Session in Crystal Report

We have an environment where Crystal Report is talking to Universe. Report is published using BO XI3 Publisher. Issue is when Crystal Report is running for a report let us say for 10 minutes then for each query it executes; one session is opened and data is fetched, but the session is kept idle session even though query has completed fetching data.
If the report is run for 10 minutes till the report execution is completed those many idle sessions it creates and is removed only when the report completes execution.
Is there anyway we can close those sessions which is complete fetching data from database, instead of waiting complete report execution.

Hello,
So repost to the Businessobject forum. This one is for Crystal reports only and no one in this forum will help you.
10 minutes is the default timeout for some of the BOE servers, you can change this setting in the CMC servers area.
Thank you

I have also already attempted to reinstall and making a new program file location named 'Crystal Reports 2008'.
I'm running out of ideas and would appreciate some help. Thank you

How to change the database in Crystal reports

To give an overview there is one project going on where the oracle database is getting migrated from 10g to 11g.
All the details of database like IP, port etc are changing as part of this.
I can see the driver name configured as crdb_ado (Custom driver).
We have an test environment for 11g against which we have to point all the reports and test it.
Could you please let me know the below queries
Where and how to change the IP details in the crystal reports to point to new test and prod databases.
Overview on this crdb_ado driver
Basically the database is getting changed and we want the reports to point and run from the new database.
Thanks

Hi Vissu,
Thanks for your reply.
We need to change the database from the reports which are already running from central management console.
I can see a custom driver crdb_ado is being used and it connects to a database.
Could you please let me know where the database configuration is done.
Ideally we need to add one more database to a config file which i am not able to find.
I guess it should be similar to tnsnames.ora file in oracle where the different databases are stored.
From the above image I would like to know where the server details (NECTAR_Prod) would be configured.
Thanks in advance

Setting fixed height in Crystal Reports sections

Hi,
I want to set the height of detail section in crystal report. I want to set the details section such that it must at the most accommodate 10 records in the section.
If I have only 2 records in the section, it should show 8 empty lines.
If I have more than 25 records in the section, the remaining 15 records will be placed on the next page.
After that, the footer will be printed at the end of it.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

Try this:
1. You can also create a SQL expression field or use a subreport to read how many records that it returns.
2. Have 10 detail section; and
3. In each section, put in all fields; and
4. Have a running total in each section; and
5. For each field in the section, you suppress based on the running total; and
6. Do not suppress blank section; and
7. Set new page if the running total is more than > 10

Standard Level of Effort for Universe design/development and Crystal Report

Can any one please advise the standard level of effort to design and develop (excluding detailed testing) a Crystal report of
a) Low Complexity = __hrs
b) Medium Complexity = ___hrs
c) High Complexity = _________hrs
Also the LoE for designing and builduing a universe(exluding detailed testing)
a) Low Complexity = ___hrs
b) Medium Complexity = ___hrs
c) High Complexity = ____hrs
Thank you in advance.

Hi
It depends on the person experience and expertise on the tool also it depends on understanding of business logic behind the report generation. A person, who is having intermediate knowledge he can develop report with below time lines.
a) Low Complexity = 2hrs
b) Medium Complexity = 4_hrs
c) High Complexity = ____8_____hrs
Also the LoE for designing and builduing a universe(exluding detailed testing)
a) Low Complexity = __2_hrs
b) Medium Complexity = 5_hrs
c) High Complexity = __10__hrs
The above are tentetive work hours, again it depends on the logic and complexity of the design.
Thanks,

Preview marketing document with Crystal Reports

Iu2019ve created a Crystal Report Lay-out for a sales order based on an empty report (I didnu2019t used a sap report as bases), how can I make it possible to get a layout preview before I save the sales order?
At the moment, the preview shows the latest saved sales order.

Hi,
Are you trying to run this as a report or as a layout?
Assuming you are using SAP 8.8 on 8.81, you can publish the report as a layout in General Setting.
Now, for it to pick up the right documents, you need to have parameter field DocKey@ in it, so that when you are in Sales Order, it will print the details of the current orders.
I would suggest you have a look at SAP B1 Document Resource Centre for more details on how crystal report is worked within SAP B1.

Printing with crystal reports

when i click on print report it pops up export to pdf. i just want to print directly

Ok. So, you will have to create your own button:
KBA: 1493592 - How to create customized export options button for Crystal Reports winform viewer in Visual Studio .NET
The code:
crReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1, True, 1, 1)
This would be the simplest incarnation. There are all kinds of printer manipulations you can do, from choosing printers, trays, page sizes, etc.,etc. The above is using Crystal Reports SDK - PrintToPrinter. You could also use the RAS SDK PrintOutputController for finer control (e.g.; more APIs).

Migrate VB6 Crystal Report 6.0 application to Crystal Report 2013

I have a VB6 application that includes the Crystl32.ocx from Crystal Report 6.0. Can someone suggest migration details to use Crystal Report 2013.

Hi Manish,
The VB6 application was written using RDC COM SDK which was available and supported til CR XI R2.
From CR 2008 RDC COM SDK has been completely deprecated and is no more supported.
There is no upgrade or migration path. With CR 2008 onwards only .NET and JAVA SDKs could be used.
You would have to re-write the code using .NET SDK.
All the resources for .NET SDK and plenti of sample codes are available, just search through forums.
Also, CR 2013 does not have any SDK. You could design the reports with CR 2013 and use
SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio (which works with VS 2010, 2012, 2013) to develop your applications.
Here are few helpful articles

Crystal report print button greyed out in user citrix sessions

Hi,
We are running Citrix Enterprise Server 4.5 on Windows 2003 servers.
We have a ERP app called Epicor 7.3.6 installed on them.
Crystal Reports 9 is installed on all these servers and the epicor app displays and prints crystal reports.
Some users when logged into their Citrix profile session and running Crystal Reports from within Epicor application can not print the Crystal report because the Print button is greyed out.
We have compared users that can print against users who can not not print and not found anything at the network, file permissions, application permissions, printer setup setting level.
Also, if we were to take citirx completely out of the discussion, what might cause the print button to be greyed out in a crystal report when it is displayed (not the developer, but in the minmal window that shows the export, print, magnify options only).
Thanks
Chris

Check with Epicor. We don't know how Epicor implemented the solution so it's kinda like you asking a mechnic to fix your car, but he can't open the hood to see the engine.
A tip; this is more than likely due to permissions. So, compare between boxes thast work and don't work. Use [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx] to track permission issues.

Crystal Report not showing details when analysis authorizations are used

We have a crystal report that is filter by company code. Analysis authorizations have been created for each company code as well as one for all (* access). In bex the report runs fine with the analysis authorizations. In crystal if the test user has the * analysis authorization the report runs correctly. If the test user has a specific company code the details section of the report does not display

I may be a little slow here but if the user does not have the access he should not be able to see the details or am I missing something here?

What version of Crystal Reports?
What CR Service Pack are you on?
What is the database?
How are you connecting to the databse (ODBC, OLE DB, etc.)?
