Crystal report : Export to Text format from BI Launch pad

Hi,
We are facing issue in exporting the Crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad view mode. Currently BI launch pad doesn’t support export to Text format option for crystal report in view mode. But export to text format option is feasible in schedule mode. But customer is not interested in exporting the reports through schedule mode.
Please advise, if we have any alternative way of exporting the crystal report to text format option from BI Launch pad.
Thanks,

Hi Chinnu,
The question is better suited to be asked in the BI Platform space.

Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell

Export to excel with formatting was autowrapping text in a cell without having to check the can grow option. When the can grow option is checked it does wrap the text however it spans multiple rows, which causes complications when trying to sort.
It worked in:
ProductVersion=10.0.0.533
ProductName=Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded
Doesnt work in:
Crystal Reports 10.0 Service Pack 6
After the upgrade the reports did not autowrap, b/c the "can grow" option was not checked. I believe this was fixed by "ADAPT00305137 Patch ID: 36479914
Description:
When users export to Excel 97-2000 with the page-based format, text fields are wrapped, even when the "can grow" feature in the
Designer is turned off." . After we turn the option to grow on it does wrap however it spans across multiple rows. So I guess my question is there a way for it not to span multiple rows when wrapping text?

I could be wrong, but I believe the export to excel option exports the database values, and the export to HTML exports the values seen in the sheets. If the database values are stored as seconds, the Excel will see them as seconds, and the data will have to be formatted properly in Excel.
I haven't toyed around with Excel exports that much, but it might be possible to set up a template or macro in excel that would have the proper formatting, and use it when opening the Disco export.

Exporting Crystal .rpt to a fixed length text file

Post Author: jnesbitt
CA Forum: Exporting
I am attempting to write a Crystal report that formats data to be exported to a fixed length text file. Each record will be made up of a number of fields with specific start locations and lengths. Is there any way to set the field start position and field length. I've been able to adjust the character per inch text export parameter to get close, but I can't update the paramete any longer.
How can I reset the "Characters per inch" text export parameter?

Problems in exporting crystal report to word format

Hi All,
I am getting trouble in exporting crystal report to word formats.
Here are my questions:
1) The exported word file will have a text "R..950" added on top right hand corner, How to get rid of it?
2) For those "Can Grow" fields, it can show multiple line data correctly in the viewer. However, the text box in exported word file will be too small to show all the content and lower half of the text is cut.
Thanks and Regards,
Cherry

Hi Asha,
Thanks for reply.
The version of crystal report designer and viewer which I am using is version 11 Release 2.
Besides, I guess it might relate to the format of report so I would like to tell you more.
Font Face: Arial Unicode MS (in order to show chinese characters)
Font Size: 9 pt
For the text "R..950" issue, I just found that some people in the internet having the same issue and they suggested that may relate to the locate. In my case, the locate is Chinese (Hong Kong S.A.R.).
If it is necessary, I may send you my report with sample for test.

Export to Text format

When a report is exported to Text format, trailing spaces do not appear in the exported file.
How do you resolve this issue?
1. Create a report.
2. Include 3 fields
3. Export ->txt
After the end of 3rd field we require 200 spaces...any idea...

Try to insert a new formula after the third field like this
space(200)
or try to create a formula for the third field like this
+space(200)
and place this formula in the place of the third field and export to text file.

Why Acrobat x professional is changing the text formatting specifically the font family and the font size of the text in my pdf on exporting it to Microsoft word file format ?How should i stop Acrobat x professional from doing that so that i get an exactly same word file on exporting it from its pdf counterpart?

I was testing the preciseness & efficiency of Adobe acrobat x professional's doc conversion capabilities. As i have to take a document editing project in future which is going to need lot of pdf to word and vice versa conversions . What I did was I created a test word document converted into a pdf using a pdf maker in my word 2007 , Acrobat did convert the document from word to pdf keeping everything in the source file intact , However when i tried the other way round and attempted to convert the same pdf to word 2007 file format I lost my formatting ?So the font that I used to create the pdf are the ones taken from word 2007 which i believe is using the fonts that are installed in my computer. Any suggestions on how to preserve the formatting of the document after converting it from pdf to word file format?

Exporting as CSV loses upper case text format

Hi Folks,
When I format a column of text to upper case and export the sheet as .csv, It reverts to whatever random format it had before. The column is for states in a list of addresses.
I also wish I could format text in lower case if needed.
Any ideas?

In iWork's components, applying a style "uppercase" or "lowercase" doesn't change the case of the data. It just display it as asked.
So, when we export in a text only format, we lose the style and grab the data as it was typed.
I understand that the developper feel safe to keep the original data intact but here it may appear as an annoying feature.
This is why I already asked them for added feature alloying us to really change the case as we wish.
Of course, I don't know if they will insert these features.

Export to text - formatting

Post Author: Ralphred
CA Forum: .NET
Im trying to export a report to a .txt from within a vs2005 program, using CRXIr2. I have been able to export to the text file through code since the option to export to text isn't available for some reason when in vs2005. The problem I have now is that when I try to change the Characters Per Inch Textformatting option they do not change and the report gets exported with the default of 12 characters per inch, and some of my data is cut off.
Here is the code that I am using and would really appreciate if anyone knows a way around this and can help out.
Thanks
Public Sub ExportToText(ByVal ReportName As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument, ByVal ParamName() As String, ByVal ParamValues() As String)
Dim MyReportDocument As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument = ReportName
Dim Field As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValues
Dim Value As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue
Try
If Not ParamName Is Nothing Then
For i As Integer = 0 To ParamName.Length - 1
Field = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterValues
Value = New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue
Value.Value = ParamValues(i)
Field.Add(Value)
MyReportDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields(ParamName(i)).ApplyCurrentValues(Field)
Next
End If
Dim exportOpts As New ExportOptions
Dim diskOpts As DiskFileDestinationOptions
diskOpts = ExportOptions.CreateDiskFileDestinationOptions()
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportOptions.CreateTextFormatOptions.CharactersPerInch = 16
exportOpts.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.Text
exportOpts.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
diskOpts.DiskFileName = "c:\exporttotext.txt"
exportOpts.ExportDestinationOptions = diskOpts
'**************************************** Here is where I set and nothing happens
ExportOptions.CreateTextFormatOptions.CharactersPerInch = 16
MyReportDocument.Export(exportOpts)
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Print Report")
Finally
MyReportDocument.Close()
MyReportDocument.Dispose()
End Try
End Sub

Yes. Use character styles, and map XML tags to the styles. It's the same process as for paragraph styles.

Crystal reports and formatted reporting.

hi experts,
i have a clarification about crystal reports and formatted reporting.in what scenarios they are used..
points ll be rewarded...

Hi ,
Crystal Reports is a powerful, dynamic, actionable reporting solution that helps you design, explore, visualize, and deliver reports via the web or embedded in enterprise applications. It enables end users to consume reports with stunning visualizations, conduct on-report business modeling, and execute decisions instantly from the report itselfreducing dependency on IT and developers.
The report can then be previewed on the screen, printed onto paper or exported to one of several different file formats such as PDF, Excel, text or CSV.
It is also possible to run a Crystal Report without using the full Crystal Reports designer software. These alternate methods for running reports include locally installed viewers, schedulers, and report distribution tools. These are typically third-party software programs (independent of Business Objects) that allow you to open, refresh, preview, print and export an RPT file. In 2007 Business Objects released their own viewer, Crystal Reports Viewer XI, but unlike the independent viewers it does not allow the user to refresh the report, but only to view static data saved in the RPT file.
Thnx,
Srinivas

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.FormatType = crEFTPortableDocFormat
'Defines report's destination type
Me.crxReport.ExportOptions.DestinationType = crEDTDiskFile
'Defines report's file name
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...)

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).

Issue while exporting report in Excel Format

Hello,
I am facing problem while exporting the report in Excel Format. After analysis, I think that it could be due to two reasons, either we are using wrong versions of Jars, or we are using wrong API. Here is the code, approaches and problems we are facing. Please help.
First approach we are using is:
// using basic API
import com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument;
// get client document from crystal report API and open the report by specifying the report name, with path
               ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
               reportClientDoc.open( reportPath, 0 );
               // give chance to extending classes to configure the report document by POJO or by sql parameter etc, just adding the parameters infromation using ParameterFieldController
               configureReportDocument( reportClientDoc, reportMetadata, reportData, reportContext );
               // get data source of crystal report
               Object reportSource = reportClientDoc.getReportSource();
               // export the data - we have also tried with MSExcel format
               ReportExportFormat exportFormat = ReportExportFormat.recordToMSExcel;
               LOGGER.debug( "exportFormat[" + exportFormat + "]" );
               ByteArrayInputStream byteArray = (ByteArrayInputStream) reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(
                         exportFormat );
Problem Faced: Specified Excel format is not supported.
Second Approach: We come to know that excel format is supported with new releases and with occa package.
Then we tried with import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument; It ask to set the ReportServer. When we are trying to set the server as
               reportClientDoc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
Application is unable to find 'ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString' property. It seems like we are using some old jars. However we have downloaded the latest released jars for eclipse 2.
Please help for it. Issue is to export the report in excel format, which is currently working fine for PDF. If this problem is related to Jars, please suggest the path to download the latest jars. We also looking for the latest jars like rasapp and rascore etc. But these are not available with Crystal Report for Eclipse 2 release.
Waiting for urgent help. Thanks you..

Mohit
