Export a report (automatically)

Hi,
Running ZCM 11 and ZRS 11 on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 (finally )
There are some reports within ZCM and I have customize it so it will output the desired results. From the output I can also select an export to either a EXCEL, CSC or PDF file. I have also setup the system to email me the results in EXCEL.
Is there anyway to have the system automatically export a CSV file automatically to a location on the server. Emailing to me with the link to the result is ok but requires me to manually copy the data and save it as a CSV. EXCEL is also a problem as it is not easily imported into other management program. CSV is the best because the data is in plain text and limited by comma (obviously). The process also breaks down if I'm not at work etc...
Please help...

It may sound silly but I'm trying to understand the command but without example it's very difficult learn:
report-generate-now (rpgn) (report name) (report folder) (report type) (format type) (report destination) [options]
Generates a report in the specified file format.
(report folder) - Path to the folder containing the report.
(report type) - Type of the report.
(format type) - The format in which the report should be exported to the file. Valid values for the WID report type are EXCEL, WEBI, or PDF.
(report destination) - The destination of the exported report. Valid values are BO, SMTP, and UNMANAGED_DISK.
I'm using:
zman report-generate-now "Device List for WOL" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\ZENworks\share\boe-publish\reports\User Reports\User Details Report.wid" WID EXCEL UNMANAGED_DISK -f=c:\wol
Error:Failed to connect to the CMS server. For more information, see the zman log. Error:An internal error occurred. Please see the zman log for full stack trace.
ERROR: 16
My Questions:
Where is the (report folder)? My search only turn up one folder of revelance: C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\ZENworks\share\boe-publish\reports\User Reports\User Details Report.wid
The path or report file is probably incorrect
What is the report type:

How can I export Discoverer reports automatically from within PLUS ?

Hi,

Do NOT attempt to use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD. This class and method is for use through the SAPGui and will NOT work within BSP. This information is completely incorrect!
There are lots of existing Weblogs on this subject. Have a look through them for solutions that do work.

Parameterized SSRS report export to PDF automatically

Hello,
if in my case there are approx. 200 values that I can select via drop down list, does above mentioned applies for my case in which I need, somehow, to run all the reports automatically, one by one and to have them exported to PDF, automatically, too, with
the names given automatically in a form parameter_name_value1.PDF, parameter_name_value2.PDF and so on...You are mentioning
"using an expression or custom code"....
How to get this job done?
Note: Code that I provided bellow some times earlier does exactly that but, in ACCESS?

For your case, you may want to look into data-driven subscription where you may be able to run individual report and export them to pdf and have them deliver via email if you have that email in a table. Good luck

Parameter Prompts Automatically when we export the report

Hi Dear,
             I have created a crystal report on MSSQL SP.
            it is working fine and data also come properly.
           My Question is. how the paramter automatically ask the values when we export that crystal report.
Thanks & Regard
           Obaid

When you export the report the report runs again so it will prompt for the parameters. Not much info on the parameter types you are using so I can't say why.
This is normal behavior. If you don't want it to run again then export to RPT format or save the report with the saved data option checked on. Then export the new report to what ever format you want and it should not prompt.
Thank you
Don

Automatic Exports of Reports

We have some rather ugly reports running via APEX that take quite some time to run. Each of these reports is exportable. However, to export any report you effectively run the report twice. First there's the initial run to bring the report up...and then you click the Export tag which runs the report again.
Is there a way to have the report do only the export? That would save us quite a bit of time.
Thanks all!
^-^

You could do this...
Does the user want the export to their local machine? If Yes, then this is MOOT..
If NO then, use one of the posted methods in a APEX_Job scheduled to run on the server, and have it e-mail the client when it is completed, alerting them to the name and location on the server where they can download it..
Thank you,

PS: And the job I used to have back in Seattle, WA has this beat, hands down.. We were using Microsoft Visual Foxpro to handle Project management for a Major Utility (Publicly owned Electric Company). Each year we needed to add a set of year specific tables to handle the new data being created and copied over from prior years..
The code we wrote bordered on the insane, due to the fact the guy who built it (my boss..) was self taught in database design and programming...

Exporting a Report to PDF

Post Author: helfrich
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I am re-writing a VB6 app to VB.NET 2005. I have a viewer control that I use to display the reports in when I want to preview the report on the screen. The VB6 app can also automatically export reports to PDF format silently (no user input or screen output). I would like to do the same in VB.NET. In the VB6 app, I simply set the viewer control's ExportOptions.PDFExportAllPages = True (I also set the DiskFileName FormatType, and DestinationType parameters). I then display the form containing the viewer with the .Hide parameter. This exports the report without displaying the report on the screen. I have not been able to find any information that allows me to do the same thing in .NET with Crystal Reports XI.
I have tried creating a ReportDocument object, but when I execute .Export(), I get a "Missing parameter values" error - absolutely no other information.
For example:
Dim crExportOptions As New ExportOptions
Dim crDiskFileDestinationOptions As New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
Dim crFormatTypeOptions As New PdfRtfWordFormatOptions()
Dim crReport As New ReportDocument
crDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = "C:\Test.PDF"
crExportOptions.ExportFormatOptions = crFormatTypeOptions
crExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestiniationType.DiskFile
crExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
crExportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = crDiskFileDestinationOptions
crReport.Load("C:\Test.rpt")
crReport.Export(crExportOptions)
This is where the error occurs.
I also tried setting Viewer.Visible = False followed by Viewer.ExportReport(). The viewer does not display, but this prompts for the export filename. The whole idea is for the export to be completely invisible to the user.
I don't care which solution I use:
1. How can I get rid of the "Missing parameter values" error using the ReportDocument
or
2. Is there a way I can use .ExportReport(), but preset the export filename so there is not prompt?
TIA for any help anyone can offer.

Here's a snippet of code from one of my recent projects that should offer some help.
        Dim crOrderPrintout As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument = New rptPublicOrder
u2018clear the dataset, give it the appropriate parameters and fill the data adapter
        Me.dsReceiptDetails.Clear()
        Me.SqlSelectReceiptDetails.Parameters.Item("@ReceiptID").Value = sReceiptID
        Me.daReceiptDetails.Fill(Me.dsReceiptDetails)
        u2018set the data source and paper size for the report
        crOrderPrintout.SetDataSource(Me.dsReceiptDetails.Tables(0))
        crOrderPrintout.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize.PaperLetter
u2018These are the printing options, Printer, File or Viewer
        Select Case My.Settings.PrintType
            Case "Printer"
                crOrderPrintout.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
            Case "Viewer"
                Dim frmReportViewer As New frmReportViewer
                frmReportViewer.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crOrderPrintout
                frmReportViewer.ShowDialog()
            Case "File"
                crOrderPrintout.ExportToDisk(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, "C:\test.pdf")
            Case Else
                crOrderPrintout.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
        End Select
u2018close the report
        crOrderPrintout.Close()
The file option will print directly to a file without prompting the user. As for the missing parameter values if I had to guess either it's the dataset missing a parameter or the report requires a value. Example:
crOrderPrintout.SetParameterValue("ParamName", sParamValue)

Download link to export several reports in a dashboard at once

Hello Gurus. When you create a dashboard with a report, the Refresh, Printer Friendly and Add to Briefing Book links are created automatically with icons on the bottom, left hand side of the dashboard. Is there a way to include the Download link as well? The idea is to have a link to export several reports to Excel at once. I already know how to add it for each report. Our dashboard has 6 reports and the user wants to export all 6 reports in one command. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

In short - No.

Error exporting Crystal Report with VB Script

I am working with Crystal Reports and attempting to export a .RPT file to a .PDF file using a VBScript called from InSQL. I can get the script to work properly if I require a user entry for file destination and name (.export true) but get the error message "Missing or out-of-date export dll" when I attempt to export the .RPT silently (.export false). The report also exports correctly when I manually initiate the export from within Crystal Report. Do you have any examples or solutions for this procedure? Thank you in advance.
Here is my code for the VBScript export:
dim rptfile, exportfile
dim strDate
dim objCRRpt
dim objCRApp
strDate = "_" & right("0" & month(now()),2) & "_" & right("0" & day(now()),2) & "_" & year(now())
rptfile = UCase("C:\CompCriticalAlarmReport_Test\Report1.rpt")
exportfile = "C:\CompCriticalAlarmReport_Test\criticalalarmreport" & strDate & ".PDF"
Set objCRApp = CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
set objCRRpt = objCRApp.openreport(rptfile)
With objCRRpt
     With .exportoptions
     .formattype = CrEFTCrystalReport
     .diskfilename = exportfile
     .destinationtype = CrEDTDiskFile
     .usereportdateformat = true
     .usereportnumberformat = true
     End With
.export (false)
End With
Set objCRApp = Nothing
set objCRRpt = Nothing

Ludek, I downloaded the VBA Sample application using the Microsoft Access Database and it is coming up with the same error as my VBScript for the PDF export. The error message for this application is "Run-time error '-2147190908 (80047784)': Failed to export the report."
Private Sub Image47_Click() 'Exporting to PDF
'Defines report's format type

Me.crxReport.ExportOptions.DiskFileName = "C:\MyPDFfile.pdf"
'exports without calling the exporting dialog window
Me.crxReport.Export False        <----ERROR OCCURS ON THIS LINE
When I Run the application with Me.crxReport.Export True, the application executes without error and a popup appears prompting me to select the destination and format type. I need this to run automatically though without a user prompt.
I have seen numerous topics regarding the exportmodeller.dll, crtslv.dll, and atl.dll files improperly registering or the incorrect versions causing export problems. Could this be causing problems with my export functions? Again, the reports export fine when I manually export them, I am just having a problem when I try to export automatically in any format (excel, text, pdf, rpt, etc...)

Internal error exception when try to export Crystal Report using V2008 C#

Hello
Im working in an application that should send a parameter to a crystal report. Everything works fine when i test the report in the CR 2008 and shows the information correctly
After has the report working, i design a Visual C# application using forms and loading and exporting the report, which still works ok (generates the pdf file with the information)
Then i convert this application as a console application. The point is i need the report working as a windows service, to generate it every 15 minutes without user intervention (but try it as a console application first to be sure it will work ok before creating as a service)
Then i started the service. But when i call the report it sends an exception that i cannot understand:
Internal exception No se pudo abrir la conexion.
No se pudo abrir la conexion.
Prueba {DDE88B40-8A22-4EDB-9DEE-A5033DAA0140}.rpt
This is my code for the report that works fine as long as i don´t put any parameter into the sql command:
ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
cryRpt.Load(nomRepU);
cryRpt.Refresh();
cryRpt.SetParameterValue("EVAId", evaID);
ExportOptions CrExportOptions = new ExportOptions();
DiskFileDestinationOptions CrDiskFileDestinationOptions = new DiskFileDestinationOptions();
PdfRtfWordFormatOptions CrFormatTypeOptions = new PdfRtfWordFormatOptions();
CrDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = @"" + path + "
" + nomRepPDF_Exp;
CrExportOptions = cryRpt.ExportOptions;
CrExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
CrExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
CrExportOptions.DestinationOptions = CrDiskFileDestinationOptions;
CrExportOptions.FormatOptions = CrFormatTypeOptions;
cryRpt.Export(); -
here i get the exception
I checked that the parameter is being read correctly in the crystal report as i remove all the sql commands and just put the parameter in the heading of the report, and is show as supposed and generates the pdf file automatically, but when i assign the parameter to the sql command (select * from myTable where idTable = {?EVAId} ) the crystal report send the exception i mentioned above
I don't know what to do, i don't know if i configuring correctly the report or something is missing. I would appreciate any help. If need more information please let me know. This is making me crazy
Thanks in advance

Hello all
I just fixed my issue, i made some changes in the code as well as in the crystal report:
*Crystal report changes*
I removed the parameter that i have to filter the information, instead i in the C# code i let the crystal report which records to show
Note: in the preview of the report all information will be shown, however i won´t use it this way so is not a problem
*Visual C# changes*
// Load the crystal report
cryRpt.Load(nomRepU);
// Establish SQL conection parameters - below the code for the function
SetTableLocation(cryRpt.Database.Tables);
//This is really the main change, because if i use "setParameter" function still generates "Internal exception"
cryRpt.DataDefinition.RecordSelectionFormula = "{EVAPrincipal.EVAId} = " + evaId; // ---> Should be the same name of the table and the recordID i want to show
// Export function
cryRpt.Export();
private void SetTableLocation(Tables tables)
            ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
            connectionInfo.ServerName = @"" + server; // ODBC
            connectionInfo.DatabaseName = @"" + initialCatalog; // data base name
            connectionInfo.UserID = @"" + user;
            connectionInfo.Password = @"" + password;
            foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in tables)
                TableLogOnInfo tableLogOnInfo = table.LogOnInfo;
                tableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
                table.ApplyLogOnInfo(tableLogOnInfo);
My notes:
I guess i had two problems: the first with the SQL connection, in connectionInfo.ServerName i was using the name of the instance instead of the ODBC name. The second is the way the parameter is received in the crystal report as it works as windows service (this is my guess) then if i control everything through the C# code it runs perfect!
Hope this helps if anyone has a similar problem

It looks like inheritance is broken in the component hierarchy for JFrame in Windows 7 JDK 1.6.0_23-b05. The only thing remotely related to inheritance in your code snippet is the WindowListener, which does little. See camickr's advice about built-in exit management.
EDIT - using the post title as a clue, I realize you may be talking about the component hierarchy, and whether the contentPane's background is visible through the upper layers. Instead of guessing, I'd prefer you describe your "issue" accurately (observed vs expected behavior).

Can not view/export a report which has 2 group by field when no data found

Recently I developed a report, which contains 2 group by fields. it runs successfully when the report displays some data.
but when there is no data, i cann't view/export this report.
It shows nothing by html format and shows "this file cannot be opened because it has no pages" message by pdf format.
even there is no records for this report, i still want to see the template file and show some basic information.
please help me.
Daniel

I've found that, just like I used to do in Oracle Reports, if you put in a COUNT column to count your returning rows, you can put 'No Data Found' when there's no data. That way, your report will return and not error out.
For .pdfs, this is the code I use; COUNT with code of <?if:count(field_name)=0?>.
In the .rtf..
COUNT
No Data Found
END COUNT
Put this in the .rtf before your data should appear or else it won't work.
Hope this helps!

Layout Issue after exporting crystal report XI in pdf format

Hi All,
I have developed a crystal report in XI version. I have set my page layout properties in the report to be in landscape orientation and A2 size sheet with No Printer(optimize for screen display) option unchecked. The problem is when I export the report in pdf and open the report in pdf for printing, it takes the printer preference settings that are set to portrait and letter format. If I change my printer prefence settings to landscape, it works fine. But, I do not want to change my printer preference settings and want that the settings that I am giving in crystal report designer must be taken for printing purposes in pdf.
I hope, I was able to put forward the question correctly without any confusion.
Can someone please help me out to find a solution ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Akshay
Always quote the actual version of Crystal Reports you are working with. E.g.; CR IX is not quite enough and the best place to find the actual version is in the Help | About screen of the CR designer.
By CR XI, you could mean CR 11.0.x, or CR 11.5.x. If you are using CR 11.0.x, update to CR 11.5 (also referred to as CR XI R2). See this blog on how to.

Crystal Reports 10 Enterprise Server Issue - Exporting Large Reports to PDF

Weu2019re implementing a Crystal Reports 10 Server for a customer but weu2019re having an issue with exporting large reports to PDF. The report size that starts to show this issue is roughly 300 pages with 20 records per page. We use the default Crystal ActiveX viewer.
Basically what happens is that the user will launch the report in the ActiveX viewer and the large report will take a while to load, as much as 3 to 4 minutes. The user may then wish to export to PDF. Once they attempt it with these large reports the viewer will basically hang and possibly be processing but will then time-out after roughly 5 minutes with this error:
u201CProxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /thinqreports/THINQCrystalInterface.asp.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
IBM_HTTP_Server/6.1.0.9 Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) Server at lmsproxy.aurora.org Port 443u201D
We believe this error is coming from a server on our network. We have a proxy server between users and the Crystal Server that has a 5 minute time-out for connections. What we want to know is:
- Is there a way to speed up this export to PDF process?
- Should the Crystal Viewer be keeping an http connection alive to the Crystal Report Server while its doing this export process?
- If not, what port does Crystal Viewer use to communicate with the Crystal Report Server?
- Is there something we can set in Crystal to keep an http connection open?
- What is actually occurring during this export process?
Occasionally, we may get the above error when simply launching a report, not just attempting to export to PDF. We presume that is because loading the report into the Crystal Viewer from the Crystal Report Server is taking longer than 5 min.
Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.
Scott

Scott,
As this is happening within Enteprise (and I am assuming the report does not time out in the Crystal Reports Designer) I would suggest posting this to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration
forum.
My limited Enterprise knowledge would be to suggest scheduling the report as PDF but I don't know if that is a viable option for you.
