Duplicate records in report but not in Database

I am new to Crystal Reports and took an online training course for it this week. I am pulling the data from and Access Database and there is no duplication of records in the tables.
I can create and run the same report from a different workstation and it works fine, but when I create it on my laptop it creates duplicate entries.
I am pulling information from 3 seperate tables within the same database. It will pull the correct "order id" from an order table but it won't pull the correct "unit price" or "quanity" from the order details table.
The instructor was able to look at report and he even tried to recreate it with the same results. He stated that there was something wrong with Crystal Report and then something about the SQL, but he talked quickly and then moved out and I wasn't able to ask questions.
I'm not sure what kind of information you need from me. Any assistance that you provide would be appricated. I tried to search on the threads, but couldn't find any similar problems.
Thanks!

Hi Angela
Please check following things:
1. The databse that is used while creating report on the workstation and laptop are same.
2. The vesion of crystal reports on both the machines is same(HELP>>About Crystal Reports).
3.Could you compare this situation for some other database.
Pleas keep the thread updated so that we can discuss further.
Thanks

Duplicate Records in DTP, but not in PSA

Hi,
I'm facing a strange behavior of the DTP while trying to load a Master Data, detecting duplicate notes where there is none.
For example:
ID 'cours000000000001000'
In the source system: 1 record
In the PSA: 1 record
In the DTP Temporary Storage, 2 identical lines are identified.
In fact, in this Temporary Storage, all the PSA records are duplicated... but only 101 are displayed as erroneous in the DTP...
Here is my question: How to get rid of this duplication in the temporary storage?
Thanks for your help
Sylvain

semantic keys selection could cause the duplicate issue in master data. if similar values in the keys were found then that will be taken as duplicate .
in the second tab of DTP u can the handle duplicate records option choose that and load.

I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to recover this info? Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addresses.

I tried Peggy's List > Select All > Copy > Paste into an AW spreadsheet suggestion.
In my case, pasting into the spreadsheet lost all text formatting (mostly text set to bold). The results of formulas were pasted, and checkboxes were pasted as "on" or "off". The DB did not contain any pop-up menus or radio buttons, but I expect they would transfer as a number showing the list position of the chosen item.
Pasting the copied List view data into a Numbers table gave a result similar to that with AppleWorks. I selected B2 as the target cell (for top left cell of the pasted data) to avoid any effects of posting into a header row or column. Bold and regular text formatting looked the same as it had in AW's List view.
Based on that, I'd slip the 'paste into an AppleWorks Spreadsheet step, and paste directly into a Numbers Table.

Duplicate records in report

hello guys,
he was asking,i have duplicate ecords in the report how do we rectify them?
why and how the duplicate records come in reporting?how is it possible??
pls explain me how can this is possible?
thanks & regards

Hi,
It may be possible that your data target may be reading data from DSO (for eg).
If this DSO have a keyfield as account but not center then in this case , the accounts with different centers but with same amount can acculmualte to duplicate data.
This case may occur with a flat file load and the records need to be corrected in that case. Also the flat file can work directly in the case when we have both account & center as Keyfield for that particular DSO.
This is scenario which can happen other than the above.

Prevent Duplicate records in Report

I have the following 2 records...
PART_EIPN -------|NOMEN--|FMC | PDT | PDT_DESC---------------|LOG_NO
70107-28400-043 | BIFILAR | 16 ++| A23 | BIFILAR ASSEMBLY |+ 18
70107-28400-043 | BIFILAR | 16 ++| A23 | BIFILAR ASSEMBLY |+ 23
How can I have report only print one record and have under log_no print 18,23
Is there anyway I can prevent the 2nd record from print but still display the 2 log_no (18,23) (+) are not part of record... just for formatting purposes for this forum

Sorry I missed something.
Please confirm that this data:
PART_EIPN -------|NOMEN--|FMC | PDT | PDT_DESC---------------|LOG_NO
70107-28400-043 | BIFILAR | 16 ++| A23 | BIFILAR ASSEMBLY |+ 18
70107-28400-043 | BIFILAR | 16 ++| A23 | BIFILAR ASSEMBLY |+ 23
is produced by this query?
Select f.model,f.part_eipn,f.nomen,e.FMC,s.PDT,p.PDT_DESC,e.log_no
from GENFRAC_r_part_EIpn f, event_log e,event_status s,r_pdt p
where s.pdt = :pdt
and s.pdt(+) = p.PDT_CODE
and p.model = 'PBLH60'
and f.PART_EIPN = e.EIPN
and e.log_no = s.log_no
and f.model = 'PBLH60'
and e.model = 'PBLH60'
and s.model = 'PBLH60'
order by fmc
e.log_no last colum
If this is not true then what I need to help you is one query(maybe you could create a view), that produces the data that is currently in your report, then getting the log_no's on one line is not a problem.

Report works in Crystal Reports, but not when scheduled in Crystal Server

Hi,
I have a pretty simple report designed in Crystal Reports 2008. Basically it shows a list of call notes (memo field) from customer activities in our CRM system. The report works fine in Crystal reports, but when run or scheduled in Crystal Server 2008 the output is always blank. Furthermore, the page format etc. is "lost" in crystal server, so that the output is PDF of a quadratic blank sheet (not my standard A4 format)... Exporting to other formats - excel, Word etc. all gives the same result.
I have tried to strip out various formulas, formatting etc from the report, but nothing helps. Which leads me to thinking that the real problem is that the report contains a memo field? Anyone else had this problem?

Hi Claus,
I've had issues between what Crystal does and what the Report Server does. To resolve this, we found out Crystal Reports 2008 latest service pack has some things that will fix Server 2008 and they aren't in the latest Server update.
We updated Crystal Reports 2008 on our machines. Installed the latest update for Crystal Server and then installed Crystal 2008 on the Report Server and installed the Crystal Reports 2008 update. A lot of our compatibility issues went away after that.
Good luck,
Brian

How to delete duplicate records in all tables of the database

I would like to be able to delete all duplicate records in all the tables of the database. Many of the tables have LONG columns.
Thanks.

Hello
To delete duplicates from an individual table you can use a construct like:
DELETE FROM
    table_a del_tab
WHERE
    del_tab.ROWID <> (SELECT
                            MAX(dups_tab.ROWID)
                      FROM
                            table_a dups_tab
                      WHERE
                            dups_tab.col1 = del_tab.col1
                      AND
                            dups_tab.col2 = del_tab.col2
                      )You can then apply this to any table you want. The only differences will be the columns that you join on in the sub query. If you want to look for duplicated data in the long columns themselves, I'm pretty sure you're going to need to do some PL/SQL coding or maybe convert them to blobs or something.

Query works in Report but not during Edit session

I have a report based on an SQL query, and it works perfectly from the menu in Development. It's also in Test and Production, and it works there, too. I want to change the template it's on, so I went in through the Navigator to open up and change the report. The Edit session opens up to the query, but I cannot move to any of the other tags, because it says the query is "not valid".
It won't allow me to save the query 'as is', because it supposedly isn't valid. The report isn't locked, and prior versions (I went back to view five of them) have the same trouble. How can the query work off the menu, but not be 'valid'? We installed a patch recently, but even so, why would the query work in one spot and not another?
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do?

Hi,
Please give me the query and the error the error you are getting.

Need to have access in report but not in analysis.

Hi Experts,
All my users have analysis access ( adhoc ), in that only Admin users have access for detail table access. General users will have access only at Agg level.
Below is my requirement:
User A ( General ), he has access to subject area but not on detail table ( restricted detail table access in RPD ) so when ever he is creating his own report he will not be able to see detail table. this is good working as expected.
User B ( Admin ), he can able to create report using detail tables columns as well.
my requirement is if user B creates a report with detail table columns and shares with general user, general user should able to see the detail table columns ?can any one suggest us how to do this ?
We are on 11.1.1.6.5.
Thx...

Declare a session variable (say, USER_SECURITY). Use init block to set it to zero. Allow user A to access detail table but add a condition that whenever any presentation columns from detail table is accessed by him, following condition must be met: ValueOf(NQ_SESSION.USER_SECURTIY) = 1 (use filter tab in permission window)
At this point, user still can not see data from detail table. The administrator can create a report and set this session variable to 1 in the advanced tab of the report. So user will be able to view the report always. The scope of the modified value of the session variable would be at report level, so there is no requirement of resetting it.

Financial Reporting Studio under Citrix-Can Save Report but not Revisions

Hyperion BI+ 9.2.0.2
Financial Reporting Studio does not run on desktop using Windows Vista so trying Citrix (Presentation Server 4.0 running under Windows 2003 SR2).
I can edit an existing report or create and save a new report but CANNOT resave any revision using the same reportname in same folder. I CAN save the revisoin under a different name in the same folder or under the same name but in a different folder.
When I try to save the revision to same reportname in the same location, it correctly indicates:
the Report "reportname" already exists. Do you want to overwrite the existing report?.
When you click YES, you get an error message:
"Expecting a transferable end, but received -4352: 1570558, expected -4113, <-4098>, 6134 -4098"
some of the numbers listed change with additional attempts.
Anyone else with any similar experience.
Thanks
Dave

Hi
I can't remember exactly as it was a while ago but we had a similar issue at a client with version 9.2.0.2 with saving changes to existing report definitions and it was a bug with FR rather than an issue with how the client was hosted. We applied a patch but I can't remeber what exact version it was, try contacting Oracle or looking at the Read-mes for patch releases to see if it turns anything up.
Hope this helps

Very slow speed. Reported but not fixed.

After having very slow up to 20mb speeds and constant disconnections I decided to go for infinity option 2 as I had so many problems with ADSL with constant calls to India and engineers coming out.
The engineer turned up as instructed and fitted the equipment. No problems there. He did say I was the only one to have infinity installed at my local cabinet.
Now the real problems started. I still have disconnection issues but not as many now. And the speed I am receiving is worse than my old up to 20mb service.
I have reported this several times (through the help desk in India !!) and some times an engineer comes out and tests the line, equipment, cabinet and telephones the infinity help desk as it appears they can do things remotely.
Each engineer that turns up says he is not trained to fix the problem and that he has done what he is contractually obliged to do and then leaves, stating to wait 10 days and see if the problem fixes itself.
So it appears I'm in a circle of ringing India and being told to wait 10 days or getting someone out who can't fix it, states to wait 10 days and then leaves with problem not fixed.
What am I to do.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After getting the mods involved and a fault being raised the fault still hasn't been fixed even through it states on the BT website report and track faults that it has been fixed. An engineer hasn't been out to fix it so I am confused as to what BT have done to attempt to fix my broadband problem
Seriously what do I have to do to get this fixed. It is unacceptable that I'm am paying for a service I'm not getting.
How is this posted screen from BT Speedtest accetpable for BT Infinity Option 2 with speeds stated as 60mb down and 20mbs up as reported by the enginner who fitted it.
Your advise will be greatfully helped as I have tried every option now and stil no fix.

Timeout: Tuxedo kills the service but not the database connection

Hi all,
I am experiencing some performance problems on my system due an efficient SQL and a Tuxedo improper timeout handling.
A service is using a "problematic" SQL (we will tune it but it's not the main problem). After 60 seconds from the execution, Tuxido kills the services for a timeout.
At this point I would like Tuxedo to notify DB2 database as well in order to stop processing the SQL. Instead the SQL continues running on the database (also if the service is killed) and this produce a gradual slow down of the performances.
In the UBBCONFIG, we are using a service configuration like the following timeout configuration:
.RESOURCES
SCANUINIT 5
SANITYSCAN 6
BLOCKTIME 12
.SERVICES
DEFAULT: SVCTIMEOUT=45
service1 SVCTIMEOUT=60 TRANTIME=60
service2 SVCTIMEOUT=60 TRANTIME=60
Note: not all the services are listed in the .SERVICES section and we are using the default NOTIFY as well as an OPENINFO.
Can you please help me in finding a configuration to kill both the services and the database?
Thanks in advance,
Benedetto

Hi Benedetto.
First of all, Tuxedo doesn't kill services, it kills servers. Your UBBCONFIG file specifies three timeouts, BLOCKTIME, SVCTIMEOUT, and TRANTIME.
BLOCKTIME specifies how long a Tuxedo API that needs a response will wait for that response. If the response isn't received in that period of time, Tuxedo will return TPETIME to the caller. As with any failure, if the request was part of a transaction, the transaction is marked rollback only. Note, this timeout does not affect the request, whether sitting in a server's IPC queue or currently executing in a server.
SVCTIMEOUT is a much more severe timeout and determines how long Tuxedo will allow a service implementation to execute. If a service implementation doesn't reply within the SVCTIMEOUT period, Tuxedo will issue an OS level KILL request to kill the process. If the server is marked restartable, Tuxedo will then try to restart the server assuming none of the restart limits have been reached. Killing the server causes the request to be lost within the server so the caller will stay blocked until BLOCKTIME is reached at which point the above actions will take place.
TRANTIME is the amount of time Tuxedo allows a transaction to remain active and viable. When this period expires, Tuxedo will mark the transaction as timed out with the only option being rollback. As well, Tuxedo aborts any API requests that would normally cause messaging to occur, i.e., making a tpcall() within a timed out transaction will fail without any attempt to call the service.
So in your case, the issue is partially that you have the values of your timeouts in somewhat reverse order. Typically we see BLOCKTIME being the smallest value, with TRANTIME typically larger than BLOCKTIME, and SVCTIMEOUT larger even still, although there are good reasons for exceptions to this guideline. Part of the reasoning behind this is that killing a server is a significant thing and its usually best to try and let the server complete whatever its doing, if if the work has been timed out either due to BLOCKTIME or TRANTIME, since the cost of killing and restarting a server is significant.
Tuxedo will notify the database of the transaction status when the application finally issues a tpcommit() or a tpabort() request, but not until then. Although, if SVCTIMEOUT is hit, then killing the server should cause the database connection to be lot.
If you could describe the behavior you are seeing and the relevant portions of your ULOG we can try to make some sense of what is happening.

Repeating headers in PDF report but not in Excel format?

Is it possible to have repeating headers on PDF output format, but not if the report output is Excel ?

If the report is simple, i.e. it only contains a single table, then you can add some header rows at the top of the table.
+-----------------------+
| Page Header 1         | }
+-----------------------+ }
| Page Header 2         | }
+-----------------------+ }
| Page Header 3         | }
+-----------------------+ }--Repeat as header row at
|      <Blanks>         | } the top of each page
+-----------------------+ }
|      <Blanks>         | }
+-----------+-----------+ }
| Heading 1 | Heading 2 | }
+-----------+-----------+
| Data 1    | Data 2   |

Universe row level security workiing in main report but not subreports

I have a report with a couple of sub reports that are running against a universe with row level security. The security works in the main report but when the sub reports run, the security is missing. The report is running through BOE, CR XI R2. Is there something Im missing...? Being new to BOE...

Hi Michael,
I am sure the Sub-report is also based on Universe.
Try to create query with atleast one object/column coming from table on which row level security is applied in universe.
Hope this will solve the problem.
Thanks,

Drop down boxes ok in Crystal Reports but not ok in Crystal Reports Server

I have the following problem with "dynamic dropdowns"
Initially, I have a Crystal Report (.rpt). It has two dynamic drop downs. They work
in both Crystal Reports Designer (preview) and Crystal Reports Server (right-click-View).
The first drop down is the result of a rather complex sql query. The second drop down
is a child of the first.
I make a small change to the sql "WHERE" clause using the Crystal Reports Designer. It works fine in preview.
I save (Enterprise mode) to Crystal Server. I use Business View Manager to configure
the _DC_n object. (I did notice that the .._DC_n gets incremented by one.)
The _DF object seems to know about the updated sql so I do not have change it.
However, when I go to back to Crystal Reports Server, and right-click-View, the
"dynamic dropdown" is not working properly. I can not make sense
of what has been retrieved.
Please tell me what is most likely to have gone wrong here? The Business View Manager
seemed to knew about the sql change. But Crystal Reports Server has
not responded to the change in the same way as Crystal Reports Designer.
...thank you, Stan

When you publish a report to Crystal Server, the dynamic prompts are no longer handled in the report itself. Instead depending on how they're published, they either go away or they're published to the "repository" and managed through the "Business View Manager" (BVM), which is available as part of the Client Tools install.
To get the dynamic prompt into the repository, you have to check the "Enable Repository Refresh" checkbox at the bottom of the "Save As" screen after you log in to CRS. However, doing it this way is NOT best practice, especially if you're using the query from the report to provide the data for the prompt. If you do this for all of your reports, you get a LOT of bloat in the repository objects and it makes the job of migrating from one version of CRS to another MUCH more difficult!
What I've done in the past to get a simple "sample" prompt published is create a report that just contains the data that I want to have in the dynamic parameter using a single table - this is usually what I call a "lookup" table that has a "code" field and a "description" or "name" field. I then create a dynamic parameter in that report that just pulls the data from the single table. I'll publish the report to my favorites with the Repository Refresh enabled.
I then run the BVM and look for the following objects (default location is under "Cascading Dynamic Prompts":
<prompt name>_DC - This is the Data Connection for the prompt. Edit this, enter the password, and set it to "Never Prompt" for the password. NOTE: This DC can be reused by multiple prompts. If you continue to add prompts through publishing Crystal Reports with prompts, you will get MANY of these that all point to the same database!
<prompt name>_DF - This is the Data Foundation for the prompts. When you create a new one, you need to select an existing DC and then either one or more tables or write a command to provide the data for your prompt. It works much like the Database Explorer in Crystal. The one that was just saved has all of the information required for the prompt.
<prompt name>_BE - This is the Business Element. When you create one, you have to select and existing DF and one or more fields. You can also create a filter on the data. This is used to generate the SQL that will be run to provide the data for the prompt.
<prompt name>_ BV - This is the Business View. When you create one, you have to select the Business Element. I'm not sure of the exact purpose of this, but you have to have one in order to set up the "List of Values".
<prompt name> - This is the List of Values (LOV). This defines what fields are available for the prompt itself.
You can create folders to organize these objects so that its easier to maintain.
To use a LOV that you've defined in BVM to feed data to new dynamic prompts, do the following:
1. Connect to CRS from Crystal.
2. Create/Edit your prompt.
3. Set the prompt to be dynamic.
4. Under "Choose a Data Source", select "Existing" and select the LOV from the drop-down list.
5. Update the properties in the parameter.
When viewing or scheduling a report, the dynamic prompts will run through the Crystal Reports 2013 Report Application Server in CRS (it will be named differently if you're not on CRS 2013, but will have "Report Application Server" in the name.)
