Duplicated report with different set of conditions

I have just duplicated a report in 10g and apparently I'm not allowed to have different conditions/limitations in the new report. If I change a condition in, say, the new report, it affects the original report and the condition will change according to the changes made.
Is it really true that you can't have different sets of conditions in two otherwise similar reports (one duplicated from the other)?
Thanks in advance!

Had to chime in on one thing here.
I agree with Michael that most companies SHOULD use Disco Plus as their primary Disco tool for developers and maybe have one copy or so of Disco Desktop for a couple of little things (ie: subqueries - which aren't really sub-queries but that's another story), saving to disk, etc.
At many clients and presentations I strongly recommend the ol' 95 / 5 / 1 rule being that you have 95 users using Viewer, 5 users using Plus and maybe 1 with Desktop (and most likely that's the 1 with Admin as well).
However - and it's a big however - is that I've seen many clients that have a problem with the way their situation has been set up (ie: their intranet, their databases, their security, their iAS, etc. - so that Disco Plus runs so much slower than Desktop, that developers end up keeping Desktop and using it!
It's a crummy situation but when using 3 tier architecture, there seems to be a mental block with many companies that you have to up keep that 3rd tier (ie: the Disco Server for Plus / Viewer).
And as for the $1200 bucks - again Michael is quite right. Of course, no company would have many more client / server copies out there that they've 'registered' ... right?
So, unfortunate though it may be, I think keeping the Disco Desktop examples may prove valuable for many developers ... until that day Oracle finally ejects it.

How to create a report with different page sizes

Hi,
I would like to create a report with different page sizes, it's possible to do it with diadem?
When I change the layout parameters, changes afect to all sheets...
Is there a way to change page size individually for each sheet?
Thanks in advance.
Marc

Hi Marc,
You can use the DocStart and DocEnd commands along with the PicPrint command to spool multiple print commands to the same output PDF file using the direct printer approach. This should enable you to programmatically specify the page size differently for each sheet that you add to the print job.
' Print PDF Page by Page.VBS
OPTION EXPLICIT
Dim i, Path, OldPrintName
Path = AutoActPath & "2D Stacked"
Call DataDelAll
Call DataFileLoad(Path & ".TDM")
PDFFileName = Path & " Page by Page.pdf"
IF FileExist(PDFFileName) THEN Call FileDelete(PDFFileName)
OldPrintName = PrintName
PrintName = "winspool,DIAdem PDF Export,LPT1:" ' Set to PDF printer
PDFResolution = "72 DPI" ' "2400 DPI" , "default"
PDFOptimization = TRUE
PDFFontsEmbedded = FALSE
PDFJPGCompressed = "high"
PrintOrient = "landscape" ' orient paper
Call PrintMaxScale("GRAPH") ' auto-max, see alternative margin setting variables below
PrintLeftMarg = 0.181
PrintTopMarg = 0.181
PrintWidth = 10.67
'PrintHeigth = 7 (read-only)
Call WndShow("REPORT")
Call DocStart ' Begin multi-page document/print job
FOR i = 1 TO 4
Call PicLoad(Path & ".TDR")
Call GraphSheetNGet(1)
Call GraphSheetRename(GraphSheetName, "Page " & i)
Call PicUpdate
Call PicPrint("WinPrint") ' Add a page to be printed
NEXT ' i
Call DocEnd ' End multi-page document/print job
PrintName = OldPrintName
Call ExtProgram(PDFFileName)

BO xi 3.1 u2013 schedule a template for multiple reports with different column

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to BO, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to schedule a single template with different parameters for all reports in BO, or create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks!

Hi,
The only approach I can think of is to create a template report which uses variables
For each column you would need to variable
v_columnAName and v_columnAValue
v_columnAName would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";NameOf([firstName]);if([client]="clientB";NameOf([SSN]);NameOf([lastName]));
v_columnA would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";[firstName];if([client]="clientB";[SSN],[lastName]));
This would only work when you had a small set of clients.
This might be more managable if it was done in the universe

Design a single template for multiple reports with different column order

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to Crystal Report 2008, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks in advance.

-As I mentioned you can find Template Field object in Insert menu of crystal report Designer 2008.
As soon as you select Template Field object you will be able to see a box beside ur mouse cursor. Drag and drop this box at required place. Now when you place this object in report you will get some thing like this "<TemplateField1>" listed under Formula Fields tree. Double click "<TemplateField1>" formula to add your conditions.
-I have not tested it for large amount of Customers. However as the number of customer increases the number of conditions will get increased.
For the customer that want the same ordering of columns you can put those customers under one condition.
    for Example...
          if(?Client in ['clientA','clientA']) then
                    <TableName>.<Field>......
-What do you mean be 40 columns? Do you mean 40 fields or you want to show 40 columns in report? Please elaborate.
Regards,
Amrita

I have 2? How do I sync selected photos from my IPad to my IMac w/o losing all photos on my IPad and getting the phoos o my IMac. ou see I have two IMacs with different sets of photos. Also want to convert all Apple works docs to pages docs on my IMac.

I have 2? How do I sync selected photos from my IPad to my IMac w/o losing all photos on my IPad which will be replaced with the photos on my IMac.You see I have two IMacs with different sets of photos. Also want to convert all Apple works docs to pages docs on my IMac. Is there and app available to do the former. many thanks. b

The iPad and related software is designed to sync with only one computer. I suggest transferring the photos from one of your iMacs to the other so that all photos are on one Mac. Same for all other files you want to sync over.
To get those AppleWorks files to the iPad you'll have to determine if Pages will open them. If it will then use the file sharing feature of iTunes to copy them to Pages on your pad.
If Pages will not open the AppleWorks files directly you'll have to save them in some format that Pages will read. These include but may not be limited to Pages and Word formats.

Print same report with different watermark

i want to print the one report with different watermark
means suppose we generate the report and print the 10 copy of the same report but want 4 copy with one watermark and 6 with different watermark.
i have the number of watermark copy in the table .
pls give me the solution
regards
anurag

Thank you for your helpful response. What I am really asking is this -- when there is a CR2008 report based on db1, table1, and you want to use the SAME report with an identical table in a DIFFERENT database (db2, table1), can I easily use the same report? Or, do I have to generate another version of the report?
Thank you again.

Can different music be used with different set of photos in a slide show?

Can different music be used with different set of photos in a slide show?

Yes. The basic idea is that you make a playlist of songs and choose that to use with the slideshow, rather than any particular song. In iPhoto 11 you can do this in iPhoto. In earlier versions you do this in iTunes.
There is a limitation. Each song will play the full way through, you can't croassfade from one to another and so on.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express $199
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

WS-SDK Scheduling two instances of the same report with different params

I'm using the web services SDK for Business Objects XI 3.1 SP 2 to schedule reports. I've got it so that I can successful schedule a report with prompts, setting the value for the prompt and running the report.
However, I'm now trying to schedule two instances of the same report using a single call to BIPlatform.Schedule. It creates the correct number of new instances, the last of which is completely correct. The first one (and in fact if I do more than two all the rest except the last) lose the parameter value from the prompt and the schedule information and the type. So for example if I schedule two instances, both PDF, both for 8am tomorrow with parameters of 1 and 2, I get:
A Webi instance, scheduled to run immediately with no parameters specified and
A PDF instance, scheduled for 8am tomorrow with parameter 2
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Cheers,
Jack
Edited by: Jackson Pope on Feb 3, 2011 1:34 PM

Can you possibly post your code here that sets params and schedules? Also as you schedule 2 instances on a single report in a sinlgle biplatform.schedule call(): as you query for InfoObject what you actually query for a single report isn't it, or do you schedule a report template and reschdule it previous instance?

Can I re-use a parameterized manual test case with different set of parameters in a different test plan?

Can I re-use a parameterized manual test case with different set of parameters in a different test plan without impacting the parameters in the first test plan?

Hi ssteele_1,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Generally, I know that if you want to re-use a parameterized manual test case and without impacting the parameters in the first test plan.
I suggest you could try to right click this parameterized manual test case ->Select the Create copy and add to suite option like the following screen shot.
Then the parameterized manual test case can be re-used as a new test case in this MTM and it will did not impact the original parameterized manual test case.

Maintaining formats(layouts) on Crystal report with different database

I was just needing some help maintaining the layout of a report but using a different database. The databases are very similar for example, a field for the database in use is line1xxxx what I wish to do is keep all the formating & point it line2xxxx database. Where line1 is the original Database & Line2 is the new database I wish to use. Both of these databases reside in the same folder its just that I need identical reports for both Line 1 & Line 2 & am trying to get away from duplicating all the work I did on the Line 1 report.
Hopefully not too trivial for this forum.
Thanks in advance.

If you have same tables in both the databases then open the report and go to menu option in the report database-->set data source location and create new connection in the bottom window and select both existing connection from top window and new from bottom and click on update. Now the report points to the new database, so now use save as option to save the report with some other name so that you can have the old report with old connection and the new one with new connection.

Report with custom layout - formatting conditions

Hi,
There's a report with custom layout. What I need is to format some cells depending on the data they contain(like different background color). There's a tab named "Formatting Conditions" which should be meant for doing this and it works perfectly when report has tabular layout. But nothing happens in case of custom layout. Should this be done then in the "Report Layout Editor" and with Javascript? Portal version is 3.0.9.8.0.
Thanks in advance,
Madis

Hi,
Some condtions like background color do not work in custom mode reports. This is because in case of custom reports the table html is specified by the user and the report renderer has no control over it.
Hope this helps.
Sunil.

Use same report with different MySQL database

I am using CR2008 with MySQL 5.1.
I have a report that works with one of the tables (T1) in a MySQL database (DB1). I have another MySQL database (DB2) with the same table name and structure, except that the data has been updated.
I want to use the same report, but just ask CR2008 to now use DB2 and T1.
Try as I may (using Set Data Source Location...), but I'm not getting anything to work.
I looked for a previous thread on this, but was unsuccessful.
Thanks for any help.
David

Two Fact tables with Different set of Dimension Tables

Here is my scenario:
I got two fact tables: X and Y (actually, they are the same tables, but with different level of data)
and four dimension tables: A, B, C, D
X joins relationship to all dimensions (A, B, C, D).
Y joins relationship to only A, B, C, but no D.
When I select dimension A, B and C together with fact tables X and Y in BI Answer, result is displayed and compared.
However, if I select dimension D together with fact tables X and Y, only data from fact table X is displayed. There is no result displayed for fact table Y. I know that this is because fact table Y does not join to dimension D.
If the above relationship unchanged, how can I display both X and Y's result in BI Answer when dimension D is selected?

Thanks for all your replies.
Actually, I've tried the solutions you guys mentioned. Generally speaking, the result should be displayed. However, my scenario is a little bit tricky.
table Y's figures are not the aggregation of table X for D dimension. Instead, table Y's figures include not only D dimension total, but also others (others do not mean A, B, C dimension). For example, table Y stores all food's figure, while table X stores only drink's figure. D dimension is only about drink's detail. In my scenario, other foods' figure is not provided.
So, even if I set D dimension to all/total for table X, table X's result is still not the same as table Y.
Indeed, table Y does not have a column key to join to D dimension's key. So, if I select D dimension and table Y's measures at the same time in BI Answer, result returns no data. Hence, I can't compare table X and table Y's results with selection of D dimension.
Is there any solution to solve this problem?

Invoice report with different currencies

Dear friends,

121101                TRY              200                      150
121102                USD              300                      300
Is it possible?
