Display of timestamp data as quarter in report

Hi,
I am using BO XI R3.1 version and webI rich client and trying to display the output of object scheduleenddate (9/1/2009 12:00:00 AM) as quarter in report. I need the output as Q1,Q2,Q3, Q4. The database am using is sqlserver 2005 and this field scheduleenddate is defined as datetime,null. I would like to change the definition of object in universe so that the output should come as Q1,Q2,Q3.
I've tried using the following in the select clause of object.
Case when DATEPART(QQ,Scheduleenddate) =1 Then 'Q1'
when DATEPART(QQ,Scheduleenddate)=2 Then 'Q2'
when DATEPART(QQ,Scheduleenddate)=3 Then 'Q3' else 'Q4' end
have tried in the object definition with the object type as 'date' but it given message as 'The expression type is not compatible with object type' so i changed it to character and then receiving the error message as follows:
Incompatible data
There is a incompatibility between the data that has a 'character' type and the object that has a 'Date' type.
To avoid this incompatibility, your data of the type 'Char' must be presented according to the Date format ''mm/dd/yyyy HH:m:s'', for example, '03/30/2010 10:30:59'.
Any suggestion. Could anyone please advice or suggest any solution.
Thanks in advance,
Eswar

Hi,
I've used the following code
Case when DATEPART(QQ,Scheduleenddate) =1 Then 'Q1'
when DATEPART(QQ,Scheduleenddate)=2 Then 'Q2'
when DATEPART(QQ,Scheduleenddate)=3 Then 'Q3' else 'Q4' end
I changed the data type and it is now working.
Thanks for your help.

Displaying BLOB (image) data in BI Publisher Report - E-Business Suite R12

Hi All,
As part of E-Business Suite R12.1.3 upgrade, I need to develop a PO printout report using MS Word BI Publisher Desktop Plugin. The report needs to include images (signatures) from the database based on requisition approvers.
How can I build a custom view and a template to use with an RTF report and include dynamic images in it? Is it possible?
Thanks,
Sinan

yes, it is possible
look at Inserting BLOBs into your report
steps:
- create data definition with query with blob (say image) in xmlp
- create empty template and load it into xmlp resp
- create concurrent
- run concurrent
- save xml
- use BI Publisher Desktop with xml data for construct template layout
- load template layout to xmlp resp
another way
- if image in os you can try to use OA_MEDIA + image name

Crystal Report 9 - Can't Display UTF-8 Data

Dear Sir,
I am using PHP with Crystal Report 9.2 and has problem displaying UTF-8 data from MSSQL field. It shows weird characters instead. I am very sure the data stored in database is in UTF-8 because when I ouput it into the web browser with encoding as UTF-8, it shows correctly. Currently is using ADODB recordset to pass data into CR. I tried using ODBC to connect directly to database and preview the data - same issue.
Now I wonder whether are there any settings need to be done in CR in order to display unicode correctly? From what I read, CR 9 and above should be able to support unicode.
Thanks
AL

To be honest, I have no idea if TTX files supported UTF-8... I kinda doubt it. I'd check, but the only person I knwo of that may have a clue is not in until September 28...
Re. ODBC, see if adding the following option to your DSN entry in the odbc.ini file will help:
stmt = SET CHARACTER SET utf8
Also, if I remember right, MS SQL does not install UTF-8 support by default (at least at one time or another it did not...(?).
Oh - one more thing. I've attached a non CR app that I'd like you to use to see what the data it returns looks like. Please give that a try.

Display date prompt in crystal report output

Hi There,
In my report output the values entered in date prompt(range) is not displayed.
I've prompt that is created on document created on field. The properties of prompt are
Posting date...... date.........static values
value field : ERDAT.....
value options:
optional prompt: false
allow custom values: true
allow multiple values : false
allow discrete values: false
allow range values: true

Hi Raj,
I believe you're trying to display the start date and the end date of the date range parameter.
Create a formula called 'start':
Minimum(?Postingdate) //This formula extracts the start date from the date parameter
Similarly, create another formula called 'end':
Maximum(?Postingdate) //This extracts the end date
Place these formulae on the desired report section.
P.S: You may even do this in a single formula.
Hope this helps!

How Do I Display HTML Formatted Text From A Data Table In Crystal Reports?

I'm creating reports in Crystal XI. The information being displayed in the reports comes from data tables where the text is formatted in HTML.
I've worked with Crystal Reports enough to know that HTML text pulled from a data table doesn't appear in Crystal the same way it does in a web browser. Crystal Reports ignores all the tags (...unless I'm missing something...) and just displays the text.
Someone far more Crystal savy than I (...who I don't have access to...) came up with a Formula Field workaround that tricks Crystal Reports into displaying some basic HTML tags. Here's that workaround:

QUESTION - Does any similar workaround exist so I can display an HTML Table in Crystal Reports? If not, is there any way to display HTML formatted text from a data table in Crystal Reports as it would appear in a web browser?

Hi Steven,
To display html text in Crystal Reports follows these steps.
1. Right click on the field and select Paragraph tab.
2. Under 'Text Interpretation' select 'HTML Text' and click OK.
I have tried using the way,but it never works.So reply me if there is any way to solve the issue

Display number as Date in report

Hi,
We are getting the date info in the format ddmmyyyy and have to map it in the number field. I want to show this date info in the report as dd/mm/yyyy.
For example, if the date is 10072009 (10th July 2009), it should be displayed as 10/07/2009 in the report.
I tried to
a) CAST the number to string, but that was not allowed.
b) First cast the number to integer and then cast it to character. But when I used RIGHT function to get the last 4 characters, it did not return any values.
Any suggestions how to approach this?
Ady

Hi,
You can do this using CAST and String functions.
Here is an example of the formula- note that I'm using Account Revenue as the base, this can be replaced by any number, integer or currency field:
LEFT(CAST(Account."Annual Revenue" AS CHAR), 2) || '/' || INSERT(SUBSTRING(CAST(Account."Annual Revenue" AS CHAR) FROM 3),3,0,'/')
Refer to the online help for full descriptions and usage of the various functions:
LEFT - clips off the first few characters
INSERT - adds chars to a string
SUBSTRING - clips off the last few characters
CAST - convert from one type to another
|| - double pipe is concatenation
Your error may have been trying to Cast to String - there is no "String" type, CHAR serves the same purpose.

Report that can display the installation date of an application or program

Hi,
Would like to ask if anyone knows a built-in report in SCCM 2012 that can display the installation date of an application or program, either it was through deployment with SCCM or through manual installation?
Thanks in advance!

Got this to give me the report that I wanted but eliminating some entry on the SQL Query that
Peter van der Woude gave. Here's the Query I used to display the computer name, name of software, date of installation and day since installation of the software.
SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT
dbo.v_R_System.Name0,
dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0,
dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.InstallDate0,
DATEDIFF(Day, CONVERT(date,dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.InstallDate0), GETDATE()) AS [days since installed]
FROM
dbo.v_R_System INNER JOIN
dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS ON
dbo.v_R_System.ResourceID = dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID
WHERE
(SELECT ISDATE(dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.InstallDate0)) = 1
GROUP BY
dbo.v_R_System.Name0,
dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName0,
dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.InstallDate0,
DATEDIFF(Day, CONVERT(date,dbo.v_GS_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.InstallDate0), GETDATE())
Thanks

SSRS - Is there a multi thread safe way of displaying information from a DataSet in a Report Header?

In order to dynamically display data in the Report Header based in the current record of the Dataset, we started using Shared Variables, we initially used ReportItems!SomeTextbox.Value, but we noticed that when SomeTextbox was not rendered in the body
(usually because a comment section grow to occupy most of the page if not more than one page), then the ReportItem printed a blank/null value.
So, a method was defined in the Code section of the report that would set the value to the shared variable:
public shared Params as String
public shared Function SetValues(Param as String ) as String
Params = Param
Return Params
End Function
Which would be called in the detail section of the tablix, then in the header a textbox would hold the following expression:
=Code.Params
This worked beautifully since, it now didn't mattered that the body section didn't had the SetValues call, the variable persited and the Header displayed the correct value. Our problem now is that when the report is being called in different threads with
different data, the variable being shared/static gets modified by all the reports being run at the same time.
So far I've tried several things:
- The variables need to be shared, otherwise the value set in the Body can't be seen by the header.
- Using Hashtables behaves exactly like the ReportItem option.
- Using a C# DLL with non static variables to take care of this, didn't work because apparently when the DLL is being called by the Body generates a different instance of the DLL than when it's called from the header.
So is there a way to deal with this issue in a multi thread safe way?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Angel,
Per my understanding that you want to dynamic display the group data in the report header, you have set page break based on the group, so when click to the next page, the report hearder will change according to the value in the group, when you are using
the shared variables you got the multiple thread safe problem, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, according to the multiple safe problem the better way is to use the harshtable behaves in the custom code, you have mentioned that you have tryied touse the harshtable but finally got
the same result as using the ReportItem!TextBox.Value, the problem can be cuased by the logic of the code that not works fine.
Please reference to the custom code below which works fine and can get all the expect value display on every page:
Shared ht As System.Collections.Hashtable = New System.Collections.Hashtable
Public Function SetGroupHeader( ByVal group As Object _
,ByRef groupName As String _
,ByRef userID As String) As String
Dim key As String = groupName & userID
If Not group Is Nothing Then
Dim g As String = CType(group, String)
If Not (ht.ContainsKey(key)) Then
' must be the first pass so set the current group to group
ht.Add(key, g)
Else
If Not (ht(key).Equals(g)) Then
ht(key) = g
End If
End If
End If
Return ht(key)
End Function
Using this exprssion in the textbox of the reportheader:
=Code.SetGroupHeader(ReportItems!Language.Value,"GroupName", User!UserID)

How to create a report with data using the Crystal Reports for Java SDK

Hi,
How do I create a report with data that can be displayed via the Crystal Report for Java SDK and the Viewers API?
I am writing my own report designer, and would like to use the Crystal Runtime Engine to display my report in DHTML, PDF, and Excel formats. I can create my own report through the following code snippet:
ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
However, I cannot find a way to add data elements to the report without specifying an RPT file. Is this possible? I seems like it is since the Eclipse Plug In allows you to specify your database parameters when creating an RPT file.
is there a way to do this through these packages?
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.definition
Am I forced to create a RPT file for the different table and column structures I have?
Thank you in advance for any insights.

Hi Rameez,
After working through the example code some more, and doing some more research, I remain unable to populate a report with my own data and view the report in a browser.

There was other sample code on SDN which suggested the following - adding the table after calling table.setDataFields() as in:
 String tableName = "Building";
 String fieldname = "Building_Name";
 Table oTable = new Table();
 oTable.setName(tableName);
 oTable.setAlias(tableName);
 oTable.setQualifiedName(tableName);
 oTable.setDescription(tableName) ;
 Fields fields = new Fields();
 DBField field = new DBField();
 field.setDescription(fieldname);
 field.setHeadingText(fieldname);
 field.setName(fieldname);
 field.setType(FieldValueType.stringField);
 field.setLength(40);
 fields.add(field);
 oTable.setDataFields(fields);
 oTable.setConnectionInfo(oConnectionInfo);
 rcd.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null);
This code succeeds, but it is not clear how to add that database field to a section. If I attempt to call the following:
FieldObject oFieldObject = new FieldObject();
 oFieldObject.setDataSourceName(field.getFormulaForm());
 oFieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
 // Now add it to the section
 oFieldObject.setLeft(3120);
 oFieldObject.setTop(120);
 oFieldObject.setWidth(1911);
 oFieldObject.setHeight(226);
 rcd.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().add(oFieldObject, rcd.getReportDefController().getReportDefinition().getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0), -1);
Then I get an error (which is not unexpected)
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportDefControllerException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213283 Error code name:invalidFieldObject
How do I add one of the table.SetDataFields() to my report to be displayed?
Are there any other pointers or suggestions you may have?
Thank you

How to display more than 60 columns in a report

I have a table defined as follows

id col_name column_value
1 col1 val1
1 col2 val2
1 col3 val3
2 col1 val1
2 col2 val2
2 col3 val3
now I want to display the data in a report as follows

2 val1 val2 val3
I was able to generate output using pivots [http://technology.amis.nl/blog/1197/pivot-dynamic-data]
the problem is that I can have more that 60 columns retrieved in each row, the pivot solution will retrieve them correctly but I can't display more than 60 columns in apex reports, why this restriction in apex, any solution

Hello:
In the Source section of the report definition choose 'Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)' and then specify a suitable value for 'Maximum number of generic report columns:'

Data not submitting when I have a conditional display on a date field

Hello all,
Could someone please help me with the following issue?
I have created an updateable report region with four updateable fields. 3 of the fields store a number values and the fourth stores a date value.
Each updateable report item has a conditional display, and whether they are displayed or not is controlled by the end user using a radio group (with submit). This provides the user with three options.
If I remove all conditional displays all data will commit to the database without any problems. If I apply the conditional display to the number fields only, again the data will commit as normal. However, as soon as I add a conditional display to the date field it all goes pair shaped. The data will then cease to commit, with no error message at all. Once I remove the conditional display normal service is resumed.
I'm certainly an APEX novice at the moment, so I wondered if anyone could shed some light on this.
Thanks in advance for your help
Steve

Stew,
Basically, I have edited each applicable report field column attributes, via the report attributes tab, and selected a conditional display 'Value of item in Expression 1 = Expression 2' for all of them.
In the same report region I have created a radiogoup with submit called p51_update_type, specifying three static return values; R, F and S
Condition e.g.
*"Expression 1"*
p51_update_type
*"Expression 2"*
S
All columns display as expected, and commits to the database are normal, that is until I apply a conditional display to the date field (which relates to a table column of type DATE in the database).
Thanks
Steve

Due date in Detail Aging report

Dear all,
I would like to ask if it is possible to add the Due date for each document displayed in the Detailed Customer Receivable Againg report ?
I tried, but it seems impossible to do so, even I set the field as System Variable (as the Due date in Dunning module).
Thanks a lot

Hi,
'Due Date' column of the documents is available in:
Aging Report - 'Customer Statement Report (One Page per Customer)'
The same is unavailable in the Details Aging Report.
