Display 4000 character string in Crystal Report Viewer using crystal reports XI
Hi,
I am facing issue while displaying a field which is of 4000 character length with data type string. It is displaying first 100 characters correctly. After 100 chracters it is displaying junk characters. Please help me for solving this issue.
Thanks,
Nagamani
Great, now we need confirmation on what version of CR and DB you are using?
If you are using CR XI version 11.0 then download CR XI R2 - version 11.5, free upgrade:
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crystalreports/crxir2_sp4_full_bld_0-20008684.exe
http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/crystalreports/CRYSTALREPORTS06_0-20008684.EXE
Use your XI Keycode to install.
Second question is what Database are you using and what client and how are you connecting, ODBC, OLE DB or Native?
The issue sounds like the DB client is not ending data reading at the end of line ( OEF/EOL ) or the line is not marked with a null character or however it should be done.
Nothing in configuration would fix this... Something either in the client you are using, CR simply displays the data it gets, if the Client does not stop the data being read CR is going to show you that data also.
Could also be the Client is not capable of handling a 4K string so it's reading/filling in a buffer of random values and therefore shows garbage...
I suggest you upgrade first and if it's still an issue then make sure CR supports the version of data source you are using and if it's still a problem try posting to the DB Makers Forum and ask them to look into the issue.

Not able to view the values on the report viewed using Query Report Viewer
Hi all,
There seems to be some unknown problem with the Report Template I have prepared and uploaded on PIA XML Publisher. When I run it with some ID set, it doesn't seem to show the values from the Data I give. For example if I have a field called ChartField in my report Template, It doesn't seem to get populated when I do SetID.
Why is it so?Hi all,
select bdmng from resb into corresponding fields of table it_stpo2
for all entries in it_stpo
where matnr = it_stpo-idnrk
and xloek ne 'X'.
loop at it_stpo2.
move-corresponding it_stpo2 to it_stpo.
append it_stpo.
endloop.
In the above code, m able to fetch the records in the table it_stpo2. but the data is not gettin populated in the final internal table it_stpo. Both the internal tables it_stpo & it_stpo2 are same.
The data is gettin moved from it_stpo2 to it_stpo but only upto the header level. its not gettin appended in the table it_stpo even after using append stmt.
Plz help me to resolve this issue. its urgent.

Reuse Crystal report Viewer For different reports - unload cache
So I am migrating from crystal reports basic to crystal reports 2008. I have hit a stumbling block. Rather than have a new page and report viewer for each report I decided it would be easier to have one report viewer and send to it in session variables the report I wish to run and appropriate parameters. This seemed to work fine in CR basic.
Now I have upgraded the viewer works fine for the first report I run however it then caches this report and doesn't seem to clear it down, if the new report has different parameters I will get a parameter error. If I run a report requiring the same parameters I will get the original report not an updated one.
I believe I need to leave the CrystalReportSource cache on in order to page the report (correct me if I am wrong)
I have taken a few snippets of code, is this possibly running too late in page life cycle have I missed something or is there a way to force a cache clear:
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e) {
//setup report in viewer with correct db logon
CrystalRepSource.Report.FileName = report;
SetupLogonInfo(CrystalRepSource);
//add parameters
AddParam(paramFields, pfItem1, dcItem1, "@year", year);
AddParam(paramFields, pfItem2, dcItem2, "@school", school);
AddParam(paramFields, pfItem3, dcItem3, "@division", division);
AddParam(paramFields, pfItem4, dcItem4, "@progArea", progArea);
AddParam(paramFields, pfItem5, dcItem5, "@type", SessionHandler.record_type);
AddParam(paramFields, pfItem6, dcItem6, "@filterText", "School = \'" + school +
"\' Division = \'" + division
+ "\' Programme Area = \'" + progArea
+ "\' Record Type = \'" + SessionHandler.record_type_text + "\'");
CrystalViewer.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;
private void SetupLogonInfo(CrystalReportSource CrystalRepSource)
TableLogOnInfo logOnInfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
logOnInfo = CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.Database.Tables[0].LogOnInfo;
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
connectionInfo = logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo;
connectionInfo.DatabaseName = Application["db"].ToString();
connectionInfo.ServerName = Application["server"].ToString();
connectionInfo.Password = Application["pass"].ToString();
connectionInfo.UserID = Application["user"].ToString();
CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.Database.Tables[0].ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo);
private void AddParam(ParameterFields paramFields, ParameterField pfItem, ParameterDiscreteValue dcItem, string fieldName, string value)
pfItem.ParameterFieldName = fieldName;
dcItem.Value = value;
pfItem.CurrentValues.Add(dcItem);
paramFields.Add(pfItem);ok so I have tried changing the code to:
CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@year", year);
CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@school", school);
CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@division", division);
CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@progArea", progArea);
CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@type", SessionHandler.record_type);
CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.SetParameterValue("@filterText", "School = \'" + school +
"\' Division = \'" + division
+ "\' Programme Area = \'" + progArea
+ "\' Record Type = \'" + SessionHandler.record_type_text + "\'");
private void Page_Unload(object sender, EventArgs e)
try
CrystalRepSource.Report.DataSources.Clear();
CrystalRepSource.Report.Parameters.Clear();
//CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.Close();
//CrystalRepSource.ReportDocument.Dispose();
CrystalRepSource.Dispose();
CrystalViewer.Dispose();
GC.Collect();
catch { }
I experimented with various bits in the page unload as you can see I have commented a bit out at present as it was throwing an exception. The SetParametersValue while handy (will clean the code up a bit) didn't make any difference I am still getting the same issue. -
How to print the report directly without previewing (report viewer) using c# windows application
Hi,
Currently, we are using crystal report to all of our reporting applications, but since I/users have encountered some issues about CR's speed to load only a simple report, maybe it is now time for us to adopt a new reporting environment in which I think SSRS
can fill this problem.
To start with, I have here a sample code, that uses the crystal report to print the report directly without previewing:
csCashInvoiceCal csCashCal; --Crystal report name .rpt
dsCsReceipt dsCs; --created dataset
DataTable u;
DataRow s;
private System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument printDocument1;
private System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog printDialog1;
ParameterValues paramValue;
ParameterDiscreteValue discreteValue;
ParameterFieldDefinition fieldDefinition;
private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
loadReceipt2();
print2();
csCashCal.Close();
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
private void loadReceipt2()
dsCs = new dsCsReceipt(); --created dataset
u = dsCs.Tables.Add("DtCsReceipt");
u.Columns.Add("Qty", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("UOM", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Description", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("UnitPrice", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Discount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Amount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
try
for (int i = 0; i < dgvDesc.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
s = u.NewRow(); double.TryParse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Discount2.Name].Value.ToString(), out discount);
s["Qty"] = double.Parse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Qty.Name].Value.ToString());
s["UOM"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Uom2.Name].Value.ToString();
s["Description"] = invcode + dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Description.Name].Value.ToString();
s["UnitPrice"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[UnitPrice.Name].Value.ToString();
if (discount != 0)
s["Discount"] = "(" + string.Format("{0:0.##}", discount) + "%)";
else
s["Discount"] = "";
s["Amount"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Amount2.Name].Value.ToString();
u.Rows.Add(s);
catch (Exception) { }
csCashCal = new csCashInvoiceCal();
csCashCal.SetDataSource(dsCs.Tables[1]);
//csCashCal.Refresh();
loadParameter2();
private void loadParameter2()
ParameterFieldDefinitions paramFieldDefinitions;
paramValue = new ParameterValues();
discreteValue = new ParameterDiscreteValue();
paramFieldDefinitions = csCashCal.DataDefinition.ParameterFields;
discreteValue.Value = date;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["Date"];
commonParam();
discreteValue.Value = txtcsno.Text;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["InvoiceNo"];
commonParam();
discreteValue.Value = txtNameTo.Text;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["CustomerName"];
commonParam();
discreteValue.Value = txtAdd.Text;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["CustomerAddress"];
commonParam();
------other parameters----
private void commonParam()
paramValue.Clear();
paramValue.Add(discreteValue);
fieldDefinition.ApplyCurrentValues(paramValue);
private void print2()
using (printDocument1 = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument())
using (this.printDialog1 = new PrintDialog())
//this.printDialog1.UseEXDialog = true;
this.printDialog1.Document = this.printDocument1;
DialogResult dr = this.printDialog1.ShowDialog();
if (dr == DialogResult.OK)
int nCopy = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.Copies;
int sPage = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.FromPage;
int ePage = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.ToPage;
string PrinterName = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName;
try
csCashCal.PrintOptions.PrinterName = PrinterName;
csCashCal.PrintToPrinter(nCopy, false, sPage, ePage);
printcount++;
//saveCountPrint();
catch (Exception err)
MessageBox.Show(err.ToString());
This is only a simple sales receipt application that uses dgv and textboxes to push its data to dataset to the crystal report, a simple one but there are instances that it is very slow.
But I'm having trouble implementing this using SSRS, since I'm only new to this one, wherein I created the report using report wizard, with two button options inside the form for print preview or direct print selection. Actually, it is very easy to implement
with print preview because it uses reportviewer. My problem is that how can I print the report directly without using a reportviewer?
So here is my code so far which I don't know what's next:
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
loadReceipt3();
//print3();
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
ReportParameter[] parameter = new ReportParameter[11];
private void loadParameter3()
parameter[0] = new ReportParameter("InvoiceNo", txtcsno.Text);
parameter[1] = new ReportParameter("Date", date);
parameter[2] = new ReportParameter("CustomerTin", txtTin.Text);
parameter[3] = new ReportParameter("CustomerName", txtNameTo.Text);
parameter[4] = new ReportParameter("CustomerAddress", txtAdd.Text);
parameter[5] = new ReportParameter("Agent", agent);
parameter[6] = new ReportParameter("Discount", "Discount: ");
parameter[7] = new ReportParameter("TotalDiscount", lblDiscount.Text + "%");
parameter[8] = new ReportParameter("TotalSales", rdtotal);
parameter[9] = new ReportParameter("Tax", rdtax);
parameter[10] = new ReportParameter("TotalAmount", rdnet);
private void loadReceipt3()
DataSet dsrs = new DataSet();
DataTable dtrs = new DataTable();
DataRow drs;
dtrs.Columns.Add("Qty", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("UOM", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Description", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("UnitPrice", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Discount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Amount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
try
for (int i = 0; i < dgvDesc.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
drs = dtrs.NewRow();
drs["Qty"] = double.Parse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Qty.Name].Value.ToString());
drs["UOM"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Uom2.Name].Value.ToString();
drs["Description"] = invcode + dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Description.Name].Value.ToString();
drs["UnitPrice"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[UnitPrice.Name].Value.ToString();
if (discount != 0)
drs["Discount"] = "(" + string.Format("{0:0.##}", discount) + "%)";
else
drs["Discount"] = "";
drs["Amount"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Amount2.Name].Value.ToString();
dtrs.Rows.Add(s);
catch (Exception) { }
int addtlRow = 7;
if (addtlRow > (count - 1))
addtlRow = addtlRow - (count - 1);
for (int i = 0; i < addtlRow; i++)
dtrs.Rows.Add();
loadParameter3();
LocalReport localreport = new LocalReport();
localreport.SetParameters(parameter);
localreport.DataSources.Clear();
localreport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("dsSalesReceiptSsrs", dtrs));
localreport.Refresh();
//what's next....
So what's next after local..refresh()? Actually, I have googled a lot but I didn't found the exact solution that I'm looking for which confuses me a lot.
Anyway I'm using VS 2010 with sql server 2012 express.
You're help will be greatly appreciated.

Can we develop CRM report by using Crystal report?
Dear all expert,
There is a report in CRM PRD which our ABAP programmer had did one which is complicated and invovlving FM and method. but since we had purchase BOBJ, we would like to develop this report by using crystal report. Is it possible?
Thank You.hi Stratos and Ido.
Stratos, i had try to develop 2 report and had figure out on how to do it soon. but now i have another CRM report that need to be done first for the use of marketing meeting next week. The report is 90% done where there is one field which make my report cant be finish. once i put that field into the report, it return me all the values contain in it. This causing other field follow to duplicate as well. The situation is as below:
without that field, my report goes(A B C D is the field header):
A B C D
1 II $ +
2 I % -
The field from table TJ30T(E is the field header):
E
a
b
c
When i try to put the E field into my report:
A B C D E
1 II $ + a
1 II $ + b
1 II $ + c
2 i % - a
2 i % - b
2 i % - c
I had check the linkages, there is only one key linking which is CRM_JEST.ESTAT - > TJ30T.STAT. How to overcome the situation as i mention above?
Thank You. -
Print option in report viewer of crystal report in Java
I am using following code to view the report:
<%@taglib uri="http://www.businessobjects.com/jsf/crystalreportsviewers"
prefix="bocrv"%>
<bocrv:reportPageViewer viewerName="CrystalViewer"
reportSource="#{CrystalReportBeanObject.reportSource}"
displayToolbarRefreshButton="false"
allowDatabaseLogonPrompting="false"
allowParameterPrompting="false"
databaseLogonInfos="#{CrystalReportBeanObject.connectionInfosCrystal}"
parameterFields="#{CrystalReportBeanObject.fieldsCrystal}"
displayGroupTree="false" displayToolbarLogo="false"
displayToolbarToggleTreeButton="false"
enablePageToGrow="false" height="540"
zoomPercentage="100" width="750"
allowDrillDown="false"
displayToolbarPrintButton="true"
printMode="PDF"
></bocrv:reportPageViewer>
Here, when printMode="PDF", it opens a popup, telling "First save the report as PDF and then print it", as soon as I click Print icon.
But when printMode="ActiveX", it opens a blank popup, as soon as I click Print icon.
I am not sure, which print mode should I use, so that my report viewer will show the Printer lists as soon as I click on Print icon.Hi Nandakumar,

Report views correctly in Report Viewer but on export or print, blank page inserted after every page
Hi all
I'm hoping someone has an idea what is causing this issue. I am using Crystal 2008 and have created many reports over the years, with no issue like this.
I have had to create a label file for an Avery label that does not appear in the Crystal Reports default list of label definitions (have done this many times before for other labels, with no issue).
The report displays perfectly in the CR Report Viewer, however once the report is sent either to PDF export or to the printer, an extra blank page is inserted after every page of the report.
The fact that it displays correctly in the viewer means there is nothing in the report that is amiss.... there is something going on when the report is sent out.
I've read a lot of similar problems, however the idea that it is a network problem doesn't explain why the hundreds of other reports I've created exactly the same way... do not have this problem!
Does anyone know the answer to this puzzle?
regards
KazHi Karen
Here is the issue. When you look at the report in the viewer you see this:
Notice the dashed line after the body of each label. That line is there because the report is formatted to be a column report:
So the viewer shows you that there is another column to be printed / exported and that is what is happening with the report.

Report Viewer 9 Compresses Reports In Newer Browsers
Deep in the HTML generated by the report viewer when viewing a report on a web page, are a couple of frames then a table that holds the report. In the table are two cells. The first is called oReportCell and the second doesn't have any name.
The report is displayed inside oReportCell. However, the second cell has a width=100% attribute assigned to it. I believe in earlier browsers the report was allowed to stretch out as wide as it needed in oReportCell then the second cell took up
the rest of the room. In modern browsers it appears that the second cell is taking up as much room as it can by compressing the report. I've been able to use built in browser tools to set the width of the second cell to 0 and when I do that
the report resized perfectly. The width=100% attribute of the second cell is messing up the reports. Check it out in Chrome or any other browser and you'll see the report is compressed. Change the attribute of the second cell using developer
tools and the report will resize correctly. I've tried using CSS and jQuery in the web form that hosts the control but because of the frames I can't gain access. Is there any fix for this? My company has dozens of reports and at this moment
we're looking at having to completely rewrite all of them using Crystal just because of this one cell's attribute. Any help would be immensely appreciate and save my company thousands and thousands of dollars!I finally fixed the problem with the following code:
<script src="https://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.7.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
var iFrame = $("#ReportFrameReportViewer");
iFrame.load(function () {
var rptFrame = iFrame.contents().find('#report');
var $td;
if (rptFrame.contentWindow) {
$td = $(rptFrame[0].contentWindow.document).find("#oReportCell");
} else {
$td = $(rptFrame[0].contentDocument).find("#oReportCell");
$td.next().attr("width", "0");
$td.next().css("width", "0");
var rptFrame2 = iFrame.contents().find('#report');
if (rptFrame2.length > 0) {
var $td2;
if (rptFrame2.contentWindow) {
$td2 = $(rptFrame2[0].contentWindow.document).find("#oReportCell");
} else {
$td2 = $(rptFrame2[0].contentDocument).find("#oReportCell");
$td2.next().attr("width", "0");
$td2.next().css("width", "0");
</script>
This works and fixes the problem in most modern browsers however there is still an issue with Chrome because the dynamic tables in the report do not resize after the main container resizes. Time constraints preclude me from additional research at this time.

Currently in our application, we are using Crystal Report XI R2 for generating the reports. We are in the process of upgrading the Crystal Report to SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). I updated that on my machine and all the reports work fine. I didn't have to modify any of the reports.
However when comparing the reports, we found that there are few reports on which the total no. of pages differ from the report displayed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). Comparing the reports, it looks all the data that were fit on one page earlier with version XI R2 doesn't fit on the same page with version 13.8, thereby increasing the page counts.
The fonts, page margins everything set on report itself. Nothing being set in the code.
Both the application is using the same report that is pulling the data from the same database. Our application is a web application.
Any suggestion, why this is happening.
Thanks.
SanjayI am not sure what is being compared here?
CRXI R2 designer to CRVS?
CR XI R2 in some version of .NET to CRVS?
CR XI R2 using RDC SDK to CRVS?
Also, is this happening on your development computer or after you deploy?
If you compare the the "Page setup" options dialog between reports that work and those that do not work, do you see any difference?
Is this a web or a win app?
Are you seeing the same issue when viewing and exporting - say export to PDF?
What is the printer driver used and it's version?

Cannot Extract Embedded Font in PDF Report Generated Using Crystal Reports XI
The issue is that sometimes the PDF reports generated by Crystal Report XI are not showing the fonts properly. Arial font is used in the Crystal report template(.rpt file) for field label and data elements. When the report is opened in Adobe Reader, it displays the message - "Cannot extract the embedded font 'AAAAAA+ArialBold'. some characters may not display or print correctly." Other PDF Readers like Foxit show blank spaces instead. I tried to change the font to Courier New, Times New Roman etc but still getting the same message.
The issue is consistent when the application is deployed in Windows server. When deployed in Unix server the issue happens very occasionally. The font files are available and installed in the UNIX box.
Please tell me why this error message is shown and also tell me how to get it fixed.Hi Scot
Just replied to your email re. conf call.
In the meantime.
1st question.
Some of our developers are creating the reports under crystal 2008, while some are 2011.
Could this be a problem, when they are run by the SDK?
Should we upgrade all our developers to crystal 2011?
The version of CR a report is created in should not matter at all. I am 100% certain this is not the issue.
2nd question
When the report is run, to create the pdf... why would it actually embed the font on the pdf?
if they weren't embedded.. wouldn't it just pull up the proper font, if the user's pc had that font on their
pc?
if it does the common fonts aren't embedded, we would just have to worry about the things like
barcode 3 of 9
I can not answer this as that essentially is the way the product is designed. It may look like a limitation, but there are no work-arounds and I would not consider this to be a bug. Perhaps an enhancement, but a pretty faint hope there. And even if, enhancements take very, very low priority and take long, long time before implementation.
3rd question
Would the fonts, just need to be installed on the server? we've seen some indication, that they
also need to be in a java sub-directory
The fonts must be on the server as that is where the report engine does it's work, then the report is streamed to the user's browser. E.g.; there is no work done on the browser. Also, the process must have rights to access the fonts.
One last point. You mention deployment to Linux. Linux is not supported. Please see: SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Microsoft Visual Studio - Supported Platforms
I suspect this is more an issue with CR not working with the framework for Linux.

Controlling Access to Certain Reports When Using Crystal Reports Server
Hi,
I was wondering exactly how security is managed when using Crystal Reports Server? Do you assign rights to individual reports via user ids in Active Directory? Or what exactly is used for user authentication? Is it possible to create local accounts? Thanks.Usually access is controlled by permissions which are set in the CMC (BO web admin tool). You can map 3rd party groups from AD or LDAP and then assign permissions to those groups or set up security with built in enterprise groups as well. You may elect to use any combination of the above. For more complex security models there can use database and row level security built into our meta layers called business views and universes.

How to manually create a Report Layout using Crystal
I am trying to create a new layout using Crystal for my Statements using BP Aging . the out of the box Crystal report for that will not work and it would be easier if i just decide what tables I want to look at. The problem is i am not sure how to set up the parameters so when i print from the aging it will automatically fill in my parameters with the correct information. I have already written the report but when i attempt to print from the Aging report it asks me for my perimeters every time. I tried to look at the out of the box version but it does not even use perimeters so i have no idea how SAP feeds Crystal what information to filter by. I'm using 8.80 PL 16 thank you in advance for any help you can give.
Edited by: Megan Salem on Oct 31, 2011 5:31 PMnot really, The system one all comes from some sort of "pld" table and the only designations are the f-numbers (F_124) and i don't have a clue what those are, and when i try to link what should be an the invoice number to the OINV table other things come back blank even when i use left join. I need some of the information that is provided but i need more than what is currently there so i need the ability to link to the other tables and have it work for every one. (I'm trying to make it more like the dunnung statement only so it can be run at any moment in time and give the exact amount owed.)

How Do I Print my reports Horizontally using Coldfusion Report Builder
Hi-
I want to print my reports Horizontally rather vertically using Coldfusion Report Builder. I am using a very simple query
SELECT
Zones.Zone_id,
Zones.Zone_name,
Count(employees.cnic) as Employees
FROM Zones, Employees
WHERE Zones.zone_id=Employees.zone_id
GROUP BY Zones.zone_name
Or say Daily/Monthly Zone Sale with Zones in Rows and Dates/Months in Columns
Thanks
Tayyab HussainHave a look at my response to your post in the Report Builder sub-forum.

How to display ETL run date in the title view of any report.
Hello Expert,
I have a requirment to show the ETL run date in the title of the report.
Eg: " Sales Vs target Report : Data loaded as on date: <ETL run date>.
The ETL run date is coming in the fact table.
I am working on the OBIEE 11.1.1.5. So pla help if it is possibe.
Thanks in Advance.
NirajThanks for response.
I tried to do the same. but unable to achieve. I did the following,
1. Created a init block with SQL which extract the value of ETL rundate ans associate with a repository variable (ETL_RUN_DATE). This init block was retriving the data.
I put the folowing in the Title as well as sub title view:
Data loaded as on date: (@{biServer.variables[ETL_RUN_DATE]})
I also tried to put Data loaded as on date: @{repository.ETL_RUN_DATE} this also didnot worked.
So could you please provide me the steps with actual syntax, then it willbe very much helpful for me.
Thanks

UCCX 8.5 - Custom reports (not using Crystal)
I have a customer requesting a report of the calls per hour per agent...Say I go into the reporting system that I have setup and the person is able to select a date range and queue name, the output should show a series of tables (one for each day) that includes agent name, with the number of calls taken per hour....
can anyone point me in the right direction of a sql statement that would querry the database to do so?Custom reporting on the UCCX platform can be a real chore, luckily if what you're doing is only a modification of an existing report you can create the new report with minimal hassle.
UCCX primarily uses stored procedures to generating report data, the procedure name and variables it consumes are provided in the report defintions provided with the HRC client (check the installed directory). This is an XML file you can parse.
From there, you may customize to your hearts content and display to whatever interface deemed appropriate.
You may wish to consult both the UCCX Database Schema and Historical Reports developer guide for your partitcular version of UCCX.
