Different page orientation in same report!

As in Microsoft Word I am trying to customize a mail merge totally in Crystal Reports using Access as the data engine. Can Crystal have a cover letter, with merge fields, from Access as portrait orientation (page 1) and then all subsequent pages in landscape orientation (recipients data pages). In summary I need Crystal to be able to have page 1 as portrait and all other pages as landscape within the same report. This answer is dependent on whether I purchase Crystal Reports.
Thank You

Different Page Orientation in Single Report

i am using Crystal Report XI Release 2.
I am creating a report. First page i want to use Portrait Orientation and all remaining pages should have landscape.
First page is cover letter which should only be in Portrait. I tried making this as sub-report, but when i change subreport's orientation, it changes the main reports orientation.
Thanks For Support...

Hi Sastry
I've just finished rehashing a report that has required a change from Portrait to Landscape, which I havent' been able to do until getting Crystal 2008... Phew!... Or so I thought...
While editing, the print preview shows me exactly what I want to see... seamless transition from Portrait to Landscape pages.
But once I load the report back into my database and generate it, Crystal seems to change its mind about the changing orientations, and completely ignores the call for Landscape from the second page onwards.
Do you have a suggestion to solve this problem?

Data from different databases in the same report.

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to build a reconciliation report in which I need to show the data from the source and target, side by side.
Source and target are both different databases, although being oracle only
Whenever a new data model is created, it gets attached to a data source and in the report we need to choose a specific data model.
Can we have data from different databases in the same report ?

Yes, it is possible.
One way Is to use dataTemplates. There you can make queries from any number of different databases (The max I have done is 5).
It looks something like that:
<dataTemplate name="NameOfTemplate">
<dataQuery>
     <sqlStatement name="Q1" dataSourceRef="Connection1">
          <![CDATA[     select * from table1]]>
     </sqlStatement>
     <sqlStatement name="Q2" dataSourceRef="Connection2">
          <![CDATA[     select * from table2]]>
     </sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
     <group name="RESULT1" source="Q1">
          <element name="P_FIRST_NAME" value="P_FIRST_NAME"/>
     </group>
     <group name="RESULT2" source="Q2">
          <element name="P_DATE" value="P_DATE"/>
     </group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>dataStructure is very important when you get data from different places, if you don't define those elements, then only the result from Q1 is shown.
The second possible way is to make as two different data models, each containing their own query and then set Main Data Set as concatenated SQL Data Source.
Best of luck,

Setting the page orientation for a report

Hi
Currently, in infoview I have observed that we can set the page orientation for a report in a webi document , i.e. whether the report is to be viewed in landscape mode or portrait mode.
Currently, in the BO SDK, I have come across the classes like Orientation, but am not able to figure out how to use them.
Can you please paste some code snippet, how to use this class for setting the orientation of the document.
Thanks in advance,
Shruti

Hi Shruti,
To retrieve the Reportcontainer for an existing report on a WebI document, you can do the following:
ReportStructure oReportStructure = oDocumentInstance.getStructure();
ReportContainer oReportContainer = (ReportContainer) oReportStructure.getReportElement(0);
Hope this helps.

Dan

How can I use two different page orientations in the same document?

I am trying to have both portrait and landscape page orientations in the same document. Pages doesn't seem to like this. Is there a way?

I tried to comment on another thread about this same issue, but the thread was closed.
In the other thread; however, some asked why rotating one pages was necessary, and if they knew then maybe there would be reason to create the function.
Well, I don't know about why anyone else needs it, but for me it's for the papers I have to write for my masters program. The professors like to have the rubric attached to the bottome of the document so they easily grade and keep things organized. They of course give directions on how to easily change the orientation of the last page in Word, but not all of use Word, or even want to use Word. Maybe I need to ditch Pages and go to Word? I'd really hate to do that!
So, come on Apple, let's get this feature added, stat!

Different page sizes in same article or folio

Hi
Is it possible to have pages with different sizes in the same article or articles with different sizes inside a .folio?
I saw something like this in last edition of Wired magazine in the Table of content (4th article) and Wired.com section (6th article). Or is it made in another way?
I tried to apply different page sizes in the pages panel and changing the page size of the document, but when updating the article I got error messages like [Error: Multiple page sizes within a document are not supported.] or [Error: The page size aspect ratio must match the folio aspect ratio.].
Thanks

Those are separate articles. You asked about the different sizes in the same article. I missed the part about different size articles…sorry.
You can use smooth scrolling with longer articles but they have to be single pages. Make sure to turn smooth scrolling on and use the _h or _v suffix with the file names.

Linking different measures from different cubes on to same report ,

Team ,
I have a report which is targetting CUBE_1 retrieving dimensions A,B,C and Measures X,Y,Z . Now i also want to retrieve some more measures from a different Cube CUBE_2 which is still has same dimensions onto same report .
I do not want to use a SubReport here .I dont want to use LooKUp's() too ..
Can you please advise with some pointers how can we achieve this using MDX ? Thanks in advance !
Rajkumar Yelugu

Hi Rajkumar,
According to your description, what you want it that retrieving dimensions A,B,C and Measures X,Y,Z from Multiple CUBE1 and CUBE2 in an MDX query.
The short answer is yes. To query multiple cubes from a single MDX statement use the LOOKUPCUBE function (you can't specify multiple cubes in your FROM statement). The LOOKUPCUBE function will only work on cubes that utilize the same source database as the
cube on which the MDX statement is running. For the detail information about it, please refer to the link below to see the blog.

Hope this helps.

Smartform: windows in different pages having the same name

Hi all gurus,
first of all, please forgive me if I'm missing something, I'm quite new on the Smartform argument.
Shortly; I have to modify some smartforms made by someone else in order to meet customer's desiderata.
These smartforms are all different but share a common "structure", which is:
2 pages definition, P_FIRST and P_FOLLOW, which have actually the same internal "structure": they have a LOGO window, then a TITLE window, then a MAIN window, then a FOOTER, and so on.
In order to do my task, I added a new window in both P_FIRST and P_FOLLOW, let's call it CERTIFICATION_LOGO.
Moreover, I inserted a new graphic element under the LOGO window.
Modifying the smartforms, I noticed I have two different kind of behaviour:
1) in almost all these SF, I add a window called CERTIFICATION_LOGO in P_FIRST, then I have to add a windows to P_FOLLOW which cannot have the same name ( e.g. I called it CERTIFICATION_LOGO_FOLLOW);
2) in just one SF, when I add a window P_FIRST, then the exactly same window is added to P_FOLLOW. When I modify CERTIFICATION_LOGO window in P_FIRST, also CERTIFICATION_LOGO in P_FOLLOW is updated.
I can't find a reason why such different behaviour. Actually I'm testing my solution and found that the only smartform that does not work is the only one which I have described with 2). So my guess is that there's some setting anywhere which leads to that different behaviour and this could be a cause of a raised exception... but maybe it's just a case, also because I found in debug that in this standard call in the form PROCESS_TEXT_WINDOW:
perform xsf_window_open using docentry-tdwindow
docentry-tdwtype.
where docentry-tdwindow = 'LOGO' and tdwtype = 'T', the system exit the process at the first execution of:
check xsfop-xsf = c_true.
check not xsf_obj is initial.
What does xsfop-xsf should mean? In my case xsfop-xsf = false and xsf_obj is initial... then the SF is not generated.
What am I missing gurus?
Thanks in advance,
Matteo

When you have common windows (LOGO on page first and logo on page next, etc.) you actually have one window definition. What you put in the window is therefore always displayed for all pages. In your case, instead of creating your new window and copying it into the follow page, you have two different windows, which now must be separately maintained, as to content, placement, borders, shading, conditions, etc.

EP5: move to a different page in the same window

Hello All,
I have a button with the following code:
onClientClick="javascript:openUrl('"myMazminBean.getNewVisitURL()"');";
the NewVisitURL directs to an iview and is created using the URL Generator. the openURL function on the jsp page is defined as follows:
<script>
function openUrl(url)
       window.location.href = url;
</script>
What I am trying to do is to replace my current iview with the iview in the URL. It actually works, but only on the second time I press the button. The first time I just get a refresh of the exact page I was viewing.
If I look at the source of the html (via Explorer - view Source) , it looks completely different: before I press the button for the first time, the source is very long and contains millions of functions; after I press the button one time (which appears to do nothing but refresh) I get a much smaller source that contains mainly the current Iview.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Yoni

Different page orientation in new section?

I have a Word document I'd rather do in Pages, so I am recreating it. I need to have the first section in vertical orientation, and the second section in landscape (horizontal). Is there a way to do this? When I ask for a new section and change the page layout, it changes the whole document.

Penny
I agree in some ways that you shouldn't change the good parts, but disagree on the point that if an outside idea is a good one it should not matter where it has been used.
All programs have their faults and IMHO Pages has a disproportionate share, to the point I really find it difficult to use productively for almost any kind of work.
I storm through work with iText Pro where I trundle in Pages. That is despite iText Pro having a relatively clumsy method of implementing and applying styles, and lacks floating objects.
On more than one occasion I have tried to use Pages for serious work only to founder on one or more fatal stumbling blocks, despite having steadfastly ignored its maimed User Interface. You can't accuse me of not knowing the program.
In the end there is its doomed .pdf output to put the nail into the coffin of any real work I might do.
It holds a tantalising glimpse of what it could be however, and there is always the next version and the next version to inspire hope.

Different Page Orientation

Hi Folks,
I have a form, a PO Output, that I have written in Adobe Forms, it is nearly finished apart from one last requirement.
I have the form in Landscape format, the data should create as many pages as it needs to output the data in landscape format. When it is finished outputting the data, the last page it should print is a terms and conditions page in portrait format.
I have been able to set the two page formats, however, the first page prints correctly in landscape, but then all subsequent pages print in portrait, how do I set it so that only the last page prints in portrait?
Thanks for any help,
Colm

Hello Colm,
Create two master pages, say Page1 and Page2, and create two body pages, say BP1 and BP2. Place the PO data subform on BP1 and Place the terms and conditions on BP2. As soon as all the data gets printed, in the last page, terms and conditions get printed. If you need to terms and conditions on the back side of the last page, please let me know.
Please let me know, if you see any issues.
Thanks,
Rakesh

Dynamic Page Orientation in Reports 6i

I have the following requirement. I need to print a letter that contains an attachment. The letter is two pages long and the page size letter and orientation is portrait. The attachment is legal but the orientation is landscape. So what it essentially means is that I need to change the orientation between pages. The letter is a separate repeating frame that the attachment, they are at the same level. I have set the main layout section to H=11 and W=8.5. When I layout the attachment in the layout editor and run the report I get error that the body is outside the frame etc... Meaning the size of the attachment is outside the page. I can define a different page size in the Trailer Section and it works fine if I am only printing one letter, If I enter parameters to print multiple letters, ie. from Customer A to C I get Letter A followed by letter B then Letter C then the three attachments. Problem is the letters go to a folding machine and need to be in order. I know I can do it by using text fields that contain the field name prefaced with and ampersand and then rotate the text field accordingly but this seems very cumbersome. Does anyone know of a better way to essentially create a single report that has different page orientations from page to page. Thanks in advance for any insights. Phil

hello,
in 6i we only support one page size per report. in 9i/10g we allow for different pagesize settings for the three sections of a report.
thanks,
ph.

Has anyone successfully used multiple page orientations in a CR2008 report?

Hi -- I posted about this a couple of days ago:
Unwanted blank pages using multiple page orientations in CR 2008
I have a report with multiple subreports, each 1 page long, and some of which need to use landscape
orientation (most are portrait). Thanks to the forum, I learned that this is possible in CR2008.
Each subreport is in a report footer section. So, for the subreports that need to be landscape,
I use the section expert for that footer, Paging tab, and set it to landscape. I DO NOT
check New Page Before and New Page After -- but I get them anyway. There's a blank page
before the landscape page -- portrait orientation. There's a blank page after the landscape
page -- landscape orientation. In addition to being ugly, the blank pages mess up the page numbers that
need to be associated w/ each subreport.
I've checked the Report Footers before and after the footer for the landscape subreport.. neither of them have
New Page Before or New Page After checked.
I'm hoping to generate more interest/discussion w/ this post, and I also have some additional
information.
1) The "blank" pages that appear before and after the landscape page seem to be duplicates of the previous section.
That is, subreport 3 is in page footer c (portrait). Its results correctly appear on page 3, but page 4, which appears
blank, is also page footer c and shows the subreport object included -- but with no data.
The subreport in page footer section d (landscape) appears on page 5 (it should be on 4). Page 6 appears blank,
but it is also page footer section d and shows the subreport object included.
If I change page footer c to landscape, all the "blank" pages go away (though subreport c takes up 2 pages because
it's too long for a landscape page). So, from that perspective, having successive pages w/ the non-default
orientation seemed to help...
Is there some trick to using multiple page orientations in a report that I'm not aware of? Can someone describe
an example where they were successful?
Maybe tech support will be the way to go, but I'd like to think that someone out there has worked w/ this feature!
Thanks much,
Carol
