Difference Between Crystal Report Template and Sub Report

I am not able to get the Report Template Option/menu.
I am working with Visual Studio 2005 , Crystal Report Version 10.2
Do i need to have Crystal Report Server in order to work with Template.
Also i will like to know the diff. between Template and Sub Report?

Hello,
The Report Template Wizard is not part of Crystal in .NET. You need to upgrade to the full version of Crystal Reports.
Template is a base report to work from. Subreport is another report object that can be inserted into a section of the main report.
Thank you
Don

Purchase price difference between SAP R/3 and BWI report

Hi
Purchase price difference between SAP R/3 and BWI report
What is purchase price variance ?, my user is telling that in SAP R/3, purchase price variance 100 and in BWI report it is 200 .
Any other terminologies are there for purchase price variance ?
And any idea wherefrom BWI will take this purchase price variance ?
Thanks In advance

Purchase price variance is he difference in price between the amount paid to the supplier and the planned or standard cost of that item
Request you to check your data first in your Cube/ODS, better would be to check in the data container where the data is first loaded.
Also check if this field is getting directly loaded as 1-to-1 mapping.

Difference between AFTER PARAMETER FORM and BEFORE REPORT in Reports 6i

Hi Aii,
What is the difference between AFTER PARAMETER FORM and BEFORE REPORT in Reports 6i.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Balu.,
As per my findings the After Parameter is fired after the Parameters are given to the report and Before Report fires when the queries are parsed and data is fetched.

Difference between After parameter Trigger and befor report Trigger

hi,
Can anyone tell me Functional difference between After parameter Trigger and Before Report Trigger. with some practical example or scenario.
I did try few things but I couldn't make out any difference.
thanks
ram

Probably none at this point.
We pass parameters from a form (and do not use the report param selection screen), but always run code in the afterpform.
put your parameter form code processing in the afterpform. I rarely ever use before report.
The order is as expected:
before pform
param form
after pform
before report
report
--between pages during report run
after report

Crystal Reports - Aggregation and Sub-report design for reconciliation

Hello,
I apologize for posting the question in this form (I am new to Crystal reports - so am trying to get my hands around the development)
I created two crystal reports
1. Report on top of BW
Fields:
A. Company Code
B. Vendor
C. Local Currency
D. Total Amount
2. Report on top of ECC
Fields:
A. Company Code
B. Vendor
C. Local Currency
D. Total Amount (This is a formula, as I used the total amount and debit/credit indicator to get the negative sign for amount)
Once I have created these two reports,
The first question is,
In the second report for the combination of the three characteristics mentioned above I have multiple rows, how can I aggregate them similar to BW where I have one row for a given combination.
The second question is,
I created a third report and I used the option you mentioned earlier "Insert --> Sub-report". When I used this option I selected the first report on top of BW and inserted it into Data Field and then used the same option to insert the second report on top of ECC and inserted it in Data field below the first report.
Once I had these reports inserted, I created formula fields in the third report for the following fields
1. Company Code
2. Vendor
3. Local Currency
4. Total Amount
From here on, I am not sure how can I link the fields from the above reports to the third report and also how can I do reconciliation between these two reports.
I really appreciate your help in this regards.
Thanks
Dharma.

Hi,
The first question is,
In the second report for the combination of the three characteristics mentioned above I have multiple rows, how can I aggregate them similar to BW where I have one row for a given combination.
>> You could create Groups in Crystal Reports and create totals in the report on top of ERP.
The second question is,
I created a third report and I used the option you mentioned earlier "Insert --> Sub-report". When I used this option I selected the first report on top of BW and inserted it into Data Field and then used the same option to insert the second report on top of ECC and inserted it in Data field below the first report.

From here on, I am not sure how can I link the fields from the above reports to the third report and also how can I do reconciliation between these two reports.
>> Whats the source of the third report ? ERP or BW ?
You can use the Subreport Linking feature (right click on the report in the context menu) to setup the linking from the main report to the subreport

Report Optimization and Sub Reports

Post Author: olaszb
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello,I am currently working with Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and have questions about optimization. We have a dataset (.NET) generated from Oracle and then passed to Crystal. For our largest report it is taking 15 seconds for the dataset to be generated, but over 3 minuets for Crystal to generate the report. We have 14 sub reports within this report. I'm pretty certain this is the bottle neck.Any sub report optimization suggestions? Would arrays be the way to go instead?

Post Author: olaszb
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I went through the report and suppressed all sub reports and this cut the time down by 1/3 but still too slow. On our largest report we are getting 376 pages and with the sub reports suppressed there are 263 pages returned. Does anyone know if still goes through/caches the info of a sub report even if the report is suppressed?

Difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2

Can anyone please help me know the difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2? Both the support guides says that it supports Office 2007. I have a problem in exporting the reports to Excel 2007 .I have downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 but still unable to view my complete reports in Excel 2007 through infoview because few of my report's colums are truncated and it still exports in Excel 2003.I have LiveOfficeXIR2_SP4 and Office 2007 installed. Is it so that i have to switch over to Business Objects XI R2 or any other to solve my problem instead of using Crystal Reports Server 2008 or is it the problem with the version of my Live office.Pls help me regarding this..

Difference between Crystal Reports Runtime Packages

Post Author: blueyoj
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,
We develop an application using Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 and we need to deploy Crystal Report viewer as a part of our setup package. Under Runtime Packages page, I see the following merge modules and MSI.
Crystal Reports 2008 Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Crystal Reports XI Crystal Reports 10 Crystal Reports 9 Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2005 Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2003 Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2002
What is the difference between Crystal Report xx (version) and Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 200x?
If our application should support both 32-bit and 64-bit, does it mean that we need to create two separate setup packages and include proper Crystal Report? I can't find any merge module that supports both.

Crystal 6.0 : How to hide the Page footer and Page Header of the Main Report on the Sub report.

Post Author: pranay
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi ,
I have a Main report and a Sub report . When a subreport spans across multiple pages , the page header and page footer of the main report gets displayed along with it . I want to hide the Page Footer and Page Header of the main report when a sub report is displayed . Is there any way it could be acheived in Crystal Report 6.0.

I am assuming you are talking about the JSControl dropdown menu navigation. The easiest way to hide Community pages is to disable the Below Banner View for that navigation scheme, although it also disables the Subcommunties, Related Communities and Go up to Parent Community links. If you still want these in below the banner menu you could not display Community Pages in the "In this Community" tab and only leave the "Community Members and Knowledge Directly" link in there.
You would think that it would be better to remove the "In this Community" tab althogether but it is tricky to remove it due to the fact that there needs to be a default horizontal menu displayed all the time. Not all Communities will have a Subcommunities or Related Communities tab so these communities would not display any below banner menus at all if there is no "In this Community" tab, which could be confusing.

Difference between Web Service URL and Report Manager URL

What is the difference between Web Service URL and Report Manager URL in Reporting Service configuration manager in SQl Server 2008 Reporting Setrvices

Another way to put it is the Web Service URL is just that, its used for services that are connecting to issue API calls. The Report Manager URL is the nice GUI that users should use. If you click the links, you should see the difference. I
am sure you have likely done that, but functionally one is for programmatic purposes and the other to be the front end graphical user interface.
Sometimes pictures help as well...

Difference Between Web application design and Report Designer

Hi,
I have searched in the forum as well i Google it but still i am not clear the difference between Web application Designer and report Designer , why especially we go for WAD ? and what is not possible in Report designer which we can do in WAD Please some one explain me that would be great helpful to me. i am having lot of confusion in this issue.
thanks,
Gal

Hi,
The Report designer is completely for formating of your query and results. Here you have the flexibility to design your query(one/more) results in your own way.
The WAD is for displaying various web items at one short for a single/multiple query. And here you have the flexibility to do the XML coding on the web items, but not as much you have the flexibility on Report Designer.
But, Report designer will have more performance issues than WAD. So, generally it helps when you need extreme formating of your reports.
Hope this clears your doubt.

Srinivas.

Difference between a Character mode and Bitmap mode reports

What are the differences between a character mode and bitmap mode reports

hi saikumar
In Oracle Reports Designer, character mode, the
APPLICATIONS STANDARDS REQUIRE the report to be designed in
ONE FONT/ ONE CHARACTER SIZE. Character mode reports
generate ASCII output. In ASCII you cannot dynamically
change the font and character size. The standard is in
effect so a report prints as identically as possible from
both conventional and postscript printers....

Crystal Report Hyperlink to Sub-report or other report

Hi,
I would like to create a report on which the first part will show project summary page. The second part will have all project detail pages and third part with all project financial informations.
The report should work in such a way whenever user clicks on any project at first summary page this has to jump to corresponding detail page of projects.
I have the following question regarding design of this report.
1. Do I need to create a saparate report as a sub report and then merge with main report in a footer section? Or is it ok to create sub-report within main report through sub-report wizard option?
2. How can I establish hyperlink between the pages i.e. summary to detail pages?
3. back hyperlink to first pages.
I am expecting more information about hyperlink options within Crystal report.
Thanks
-Sunil Prasad

Hi Sunil
- For your first question: . Do I need to create a saparate report as a sub report and then merge with main report in a footer section? Or is it ok to create sub-report within main report through sub-report wizard option?
You can create a separate report and then insert it as a subreport in the main report or create it with sub report wizard.
Once you click on Insert -> Subreport, you can see there are two options, one is to point to an existing report and another is to create it through wizard.
- 2. How can I establish hyperlink between the pages i.e. summary to detail pages?
You can use the hyperlink between report objects. Also you can apply a customized formula for this.
Check the below SAP Notes:
[1. 1207011 - How to create an OpenDocument link in Crystal Reports XI/XIR2 |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes]

Report containing 15 sub reports crashing - Crystal Reports 2008

I am using Crystal report 2008 with all latest service packs applied. I have more then 20 different reports wich work absolutely fine and never crash. One of my report contains 15 sub reports since its bringing data from 15 different queries. This consistently keeps crashing everytime I try to run it. Not sure what could be the root cause.
We are using Postgres database and connected to it with ODBC connection using Microsoft DSN.
- All Subreport data is being displayed on Report Footer
- All subreports are included in the Main report page header section. (I have also tried doing it on report footer section but it still crashes)
I have tried searching through the forum and did not find similar issue resolutions. Did someone face similar problems before?
The crash message is:
"crw32.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry of the inconvenience."
Error report contains this data:
AppName: crw32.exe AppVer: 12.2.0.290 ModName: psqlodbc35w.dll
ModVer: 9.0.2.0 Offset: 0004c538
I am using Windows XP
Crystal Report Version Details:
CR Developer Version 12.2.0.290
Product Type: Full
Let me know how can I debug this issue? Any help is appreciated.

@Don - We performed extensive testing for this crash issue and found that now this crash is not happening only in one scenario. So we have partially fixed this.
Now the report crashes if I get disconnected from database and reconnect. This is what happens
1. open the report in crystal report 2008
2. try to run the report when db is connected- it works fine.
3. Now disconnect the database (we are using ssh tunnel to connect to db so we just close the tunnel)
4. now try to refresh the report - it fails to retrieve data.
5. Now close the report without saving it.
6. Now Close Crystal Report.
7. Now Connect the DB using ssh tunnel so crystal report can connect.
8. Now open Crystal Report
9. Launch the target report.
10 Preview the report - it works for first time.
11. Now do a refresh keeping same parameters - Report crashes here.
- I tried these steps with some of my other reports and they do not crash.
- Now I have only one report which contains a Postgres Query with date range,order by and a union join.
- No subreports now - I am trying to run this one subreport as a standalone report which I created from scratch(using blank report wizard) and just copied the query.
Any more pointers would help.
