Embedding WebI and Crystal reports on a web page

Hi,
I'm new to BO, so please bear with me. I've also posted this to the .NET-side, so sorry if you've seen this post before.
We have a project where we will need to embed WebI and Crystal reports on a web page, i.e. we want the people who access the web page to get the reports (mainly graphs) as embedded content on the web page without any controls and other clutter.
Is this possible and what's the correct way of doing this?
Thanks,
Carl

Hi,
Thanks for the help!
We still face the original problem, though. I.e. with openDocoument we get the report, controls, tab selections, scroll bars etc. What we actually would like is to get just the contents of a report.
Is there any way of doing it? We're not afraid of coding, we have good developers. Or do we need to schedule report creation to some format (e.g. PDF) and then load the PDF to the web page?
Basicaly it's more important to get this working for WebI reports as we can redo almost all reports from Crystal to WebI. Of course we are happy to find a resolution for both cases.

Empty report returned from WEBI and Crystal report when using external hier

Hi,
WEBI and Crystal report build from BEX query returned empty report when we used external hierarchy 0PROFIT_CTR. In BEX we don't have any problems with it.
No authority check is perfomed on the hierarchy when we start the report in WEBI/Crystal. Only check on the hierarchy is performed when the root authorization is assigned to the user

What angle are you coming at this from?
Are you talking about in terms of replacing Deski?
Or as a first reporting tool to learn?
If you're moving away from Deski, I'd personally go for Webi. Very small amount of learning required to move from one to the other. It's also much easier to pick up and start working with.

Help requested on WEBI and Crystal Reports

Hi All,
1. Our Sys Admin has installed Business Objects XI Enterprise Server on the Corporate Development Server. The objective is to develop few WEBI objects and Crystal Reports and deploy on the Development Server for further testing. What developer tools I need on my local system to develop WEBI Objects and Crystal Reports?
2. For crystal reports is there a need to develop universe, or is it possible to fetch from the database directly if the DB meets all the data needs?
Thanks in advance
Sunny

Hi gudurusk,
For CR creation the you need Crystal Reports. Thats a Report developing Tool which needs to be installed local on your Desktop PC
WebI is a Java based Reporting Tool. So you create your Reports in a Web Browser. You LogIn to InfoView and click New -> Web Intelligence Document and start.
Crystal can do both. It can report of a Universe and can by directly connected to your DB.

Not able to schedule Webi and Crystal reports in Infoview

Hi All,
We are using Business Objects XI 3.1.
I am not able to schedule reports in Infoview irrespective of the report type.
The Webi report throws the error "Bad Request(Invalid URL)" when I hit on the Format Destination section.
The Crystal report without prompt hangs when I hit schedule button and the report with prompt throws the error "An error has occurred:Invalid postback or callback argument."
Recently we installed the Fixpack 1.2 for XI 3.1.
Thanks in Advance

Open Doc URL with parameter in BI 4.0 to open Webi and Crystal report

Hi Experts ,
Has any one experienced the open doc URL to open the report and to pass the parameter to the new report .
I am well aware of the syntax of passing the parameter and use to work perfectly fine with XI 3.1 but its giving me griefs in BI 4.0 environment .
In the new report i am just trying to pass the Fiscal year as a parameter with the url i can open the report but it does not accept the value being passed with the url so i have to renter the values again .
I am using BO 4.0 SP2 Patch 6 and trying to intact with crystal and webi report built on top of BEx query with the fiscal year parameter defined in BEx query level .
Any comment on this will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vibhav

Hi Nakul,
I am not using the user response to get the value i tested it in Crystal Enterprise environment i tired passing the following syntax
http://.../OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=...&lsSFiscal%Year%(Single%Value%Entry,%Required)={?0P_FYEAR}
{?0P_FYEAR} this is a variable comming form BEx query into Crystal i tired to use it and pass it to other report but i cannot pass it i have tried to pass the hardcoded value still i see the paramater screen and have to enter the value again.
I am not sure if anyone has tested this functionality in BI 4.0 environment .
Thanks,

Schedule Webi (and Crystal) report without creating a new instance

Hi all,
I'm looking for the way to not create a new instance of the report when we schedule a report? Is it any actions on the InfoObject object? Or is it just impossible to do?
Thanks in advance !
Edited by: jerome.vervier on Nov 21, 2011 11:40 AM

Hi,
With regards to your query, whenever a report is scheduled an instance of it will be created.
Therefore, it is not possible to schedule a report without creating an instance.

Windows 2008 Web Server and Crystal Reports Runtime 10 comptability

We have migrated a website that was previoulsy on a Wndows 2003 server using IIS6 and Crystal Reports Runtime v 10 on ASP.NET 2.0
After migrating the website, and installing the Crytal Reports runtime, we are getting application errors related to Crystal Reports Runtime in event viewer and the browser.
For one is Crystal Reports Runtime v10 compatible with Windows 2008 Server, IIS 7 ?

No it is not. You're looking for about a 5 year forward compatibility. At this time, only CR 2008 (12.x) and Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 (10.5) are supported on WIN 2008. See [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567] blog for more details.

BusinessObject 4.0 API to get SQL statement from webi or crystal report

Hello,
Need your help.... could you confirm whether BusinessObjects 4.0 provides any SDK, API or Web Service to get physical SQL statement from the webi or crystal reports file?
If so, could you provide name of package, class and method?
If I am not wrong, there is an SDK in v3.0 that allows to extract the SQL. But I am reading a lot on these forums that lot of SDK classes and functions are deprecated / removed in v4.0.
Thanks for your help.
Omer

For Crystal Reports in BI 4.0 to retrieve the SQL query you can use Report Application Server SDK. Here is a code snippet that retrieves the SQL statement.
//oInfoObjectReport is of type IInfoObject corresponding to the crystal report.
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = reportAppFactory.openDocument(oInfoObjectReport, 0, Locale.ENGLISH);
 //for all crystal reports
 GroupPath grpPath = new GroupPath();
 //get CR SQL query string
 String reportSQL=reportClientDoc.getRowsetController().getSQLStatement(grpPath,null);
 System.out.println("report SQL String: "+reportSQL);
 //for report whose datasource is command object:
 Tables tables = reportClientDoc.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables();
 for (int i = 0; i < tables.size(); i++)
 ITable table = tables.getTable(i);
 ICommandTable ic= (ICommandTable) table;
 //Command can be obtained from the report using getCommandObject() method
 //get CR SQL query string
 String SQLText=ic.getCommandText();
 System.out.println("SQLText_"+i+": "+SQLText);

Publish Crystal Reports to the web

I have to see about using Microsoft Services to publish Crystal Reports to the web.One method would be to use Visual Studio.
What are the ways in which to publish Crystal Reports to the web, besides this Visual Studio?

You can use Crystal Reports Server, Edge or BusinessObjects Enterprise. You can also use www.crystalreports.com
