Fields reorder when saving report in Crystal Reports Explorer

Post Author: brankin
CA Forum: Publishing
We're using Crystal Reports Explorer within BOE XI R2, and have noticed that when saving a report and reopening it the order of the fields changes. It seems to happen all the time and there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to what happens. Does anyone know how to keep this from happening?

You need to update the "Object Changeability" in BW for Crystal report objects.
to do this:
1. run transaction /nRSA1
2. Select the transport connection tab
3. click the "Object Changeability" button
4. Select the "Crystal Report" line item
5. right click and select "Everything changeable"
6. Exit transaction

Hebrew problem when saving reports

Hi,
There are two users in the same department who have the ability to save reports. The reports are saved in Plus and are in Hebrew.
One of them has no problem while the other has the problem whereby the Hebrew in the parameters and titles are all upside down question marks. They basically are saving the same reports so it is not a problem of a specific report.
I tried changing the language icon in the computer to Hebrew to see if that would help, but it doesn't.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Leah

The User does not have the time today, but tomorrow I will check the User's Regional and Language Options. Maybe that is the source of the problem.
I will update the forum as to the results. If that is not the problem and there are no other suggestions, I will open a Service Request at Metalink.

System time out when saving report from portal

Hi,
We have a problem where the report output either gets time out or gives an output after 30 minutes if we try to save a report from portal in the form of excel.( report is run on the web)
Generally the query output has not more then 32k records.
Is it the number of records in the portal output which is the cause of the issue??
This is not the issue with the reports with leess number of records.
Can we do something to improve the performance here??
Thanks
Ajeet

Try creating aggrates on the cube. this may change the performance.
also you can change the query execution time.
but better check for some performance tuning by using aggrates.
check below suggestions also:

Calcluated fields dissapearing when saving? (And other order form issues)

I am trying to make an order form for my company. I have three columns, quantity, rate, and total. The form itself was imported from an Excel document, and the "Rate" column was already filled in. I made "Qty" a fillable field, "rate" a hidden and read only field, and "Total" a calculated field that is the product of "Qty" and "Rate".
In Acrobat Pro, when I click "Preview", everything seems to work fine. Once I save it, close the file, and try to open it in Apple Preview or Adobe Reader on Windows, it doesn't work. When I reopen the file in Acrobat Pro, the calculated fields are set back to "value is not calculated".
I have spent a LOT of time on this form, and now it seems that all of my work has just dissapeared. Not to mention when Acrobat decided to just up and quit on me, corrupt my file, and delete it. Luckily I work in Versions, and save a different file everytime I save. But then I had to go back and edit all the fields to make them calcluate, only to lose them when i save.
I have two questions here. First, is this the correct way to be doing an order form, or is there an easier, more reliable workflow? Second, why doesn't Acrobat Pro save my field properties?
I'm on Acrobat Pro XI on OSX 10.8.5
Attached are two images, the first is how I set the field to begin with, and the second is what happens after I save and reopen the document.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Apple Preview is a known "assassin" of PDF forms, and tends to corrupt them in many ways. Avoid using it as much as possible! Even just opening a PDF file in it can cause it to be irreparably corrupt.
Having said that, I did notice a bug in Acrobat XI that causes scripts to "disappear" when you open the Calculate or Validate tab. This happened to me mostly when a custom code was used, and I don't know of a way to prevent it or predict when it happens... It's rare, though.

Error "Session Timed Out" When saving webi report as PDF

Hi,
I am getting below error when saving report as PDF
The Session Timed Out.The document *.wid has been auto saved in the Favorites~WebIntelligence Folder..Click Restore to retrieve it.
(ERROR : WIJ600001).
I get above error in PROD but works fine in DEV.
Version : BOE 3.1 SP7 (DEV & PROD).
Session Time out set as one hour.
Report runs for 3 minutes .once I get the data if I try to save it as PDF immediately I get the above mentioned Error.

The default Webi auto-save is every 600 seconds, which is 10 minutes. You could increase it to 3600 seconds (1 hour) in CMC -> Applications > Web Intelligence > Properties > Auto-save Settings on "Auto-save time delay".
See KB 1297132 - Error: WIJ 60001 after the Web Intelligence Java Report Panel is left inactive some time on http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1297132.
Hope this helps,

Problem printing duplex even though it's saved in the Crystal Report.

I'm using VS.NET 2010 with Crystal Reports 13.0.10.1385
We have a set of Crystal Reports that were created with Crystal 8.5 and they print duplex and the printer and printer preferences are saved with each Crystal Report.
The problem is this, I'm pulling in these reports to my VS.NET 2010 Project using Crystal Report Viewer and it will not keep the printer preferences when you print the report. Why, it works using VB6.0? The only way I can get it to print duplex is to manually set the printer preferences before printing the report.

Hi Bill,
Update the reports to CR 2011 or above then that info should be saved. If not add this line of code to your app:
rpt.PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = PrinterDuplex.Default; // you can change the last value
Or if using RAS use this:
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions RASPO = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions();
RASPO.PrinterDuplex = CrPrinterDuplexEnum.crPrinterDuplexSimplex;
And comparing RDC to .NET doesn't work. RDC used COM and DEVMODE, .NET uses the System.Printer API set.

Crystal Reports 8.5 not saving report criteria changes

I am a relatively new Crystal user, but have noticed that my version 8.5 doesn't always save changes to the report criteria that are made in the formula editor. The program says that it is saving the changes, the when the report is closed and reopened the changes are no longer in place.
Has anyone else had this problem?

I am working with record selection criteria. I am in the formula editor and add new criteria, check the additions with the "x-2" button and then click the icon to save and exit.
The changes remain in effect as long as the form is open, but don't save upon closing the form. I've even tried "save as" to make sure that the form saves. The form saves, but the changes to the record selection criteria do not.

Extra Field gone after reopening a saved Report

Hi all,
Maybe it is a stupid question but when i have builded a report with the wizzard and i add a extra Field and i save the report as a rdf. The next time i open the saved report the extra Field is gone.
Does anybody know why?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

The Fields are present at the object navigator. But i know what the problem is(i guess); sometimes i saved the report with the added fields and after that i try to run the report and suddenly the Reports Builders exits.. normally i restart the Reports Builder and then i am lost the Fields although i saved the reports before.
What i did is:
- create the fields manually
- saved the report
- exit reports builder
- start reports builder
- opened the saved report
and the fields are still there(in the object navigator and in the paper report) ;-) !
Thanks for your support,
Daniel

Database fields empty after creating a new (Crystal) Report in MSY

Hello,
I have some issues to use Crystal Reports in Mobile Sales Maintenance (MSY). The situation is as follows
My example is based on this standard report, which is working
Report Name: BPartnerActivities
Reporting Tool: Crystal Reports
Category: Standard reports
Subcategory: Lists
Report Type: Report
Data Source: Business Content provider
Business Content Provider: BPActivities
My requirement is to build a new report, which is based on the standard "BPartnerActivities" Report. If I use the "copy" functionality, I get an working Copy of the standard report. However, I need to modify the Business Content Provider, but I do not want to make the modifications on the standard content provider "BPActivities".
I am now forced to used the "copy" functionality to create a copy from "BPActivities" for my own Content Provider "My BPActivities copy", which I want to use in a new report.
Issue:
I cannot modify the defined Business Content Provider after using the "copy" functionality and hence forced to create a new report from scratch to be able to set a different Content Provider.
I create my own report "MyBPartnerActivities" based on the standard report "BPartnerActivities" using the same settings and assign my new business content provider.
If I use the "Design Report" or "Modify Report" button, the Crystal Report designer pops up. Now the problem, the Crystal Report designer does not offer me any data below "Database fields".
In the standard report, the "Database fields" has a child element "BOACTIVITY-ttx" with several field options. My own created report from sratch does now have anything?!
Why my report does not offer my any data or is there anything additional to do?
Another Test
I tried to create another report using the standard content provider "BPActivities", but I have still the same issue.
In addition I recongized that the "browse data" fuctionality does not work on the fields in the standard report. The path to the database file does not exist. It starts with "C:\WINNT\...", but my system has "C:\WINDOWS\...". But the executed report is able to retriev the data?!
Unfortunately was not able to find any proper documentation, but I would really appreciate any help.
Regards,
Andreas

Update
It looks like that the *.ttx file is not uploaded/create to/on the MSY system. The system shows the file in the Crystal Report Designer, but there is no file on the file system. The confusing thing is, that any standard report is still working and does not really complain about a missing ttx file. I think the content of the ttx file is somehow embeded to the report.
Does someone know how the system should behave? Should a ttx file be automatically created & assigned to any new report or do I have to create the file by my own every time?
Cheers,
Andreas

Password is lost when I save the Crystal Report

We use Crystal Reports v. 11.5.3.417, and our users access the crystal Reports using InfoView (Web Portal)
We store the username and password inside the different Repor so the end-users of these reports don't have to know our database passwords in order to run the reports. (Oracle DB)
We have 2 problems with our Crystal Reports
1) Every time I change and the Save a report, the Password is lost, and I have to remember to go into the "Manage Object" and Process->Database and enter it again. It's really annoying to have to remember this every time we change a report.. Is there an option somewhere to avoid this?
2) The password and username are occationly failing. When the users (accessing Crystal Reports through the Web Portal / Infoview) get an error message "Incorrect logon parameters..." The funny thing (actually not that funny) is that if I try to open the report like 10-15 times, just by clicking on the Crystal Report in the Infoview, it usually starts to work again. Some times after 5 clickes, and other times after 10-15 clicks. Its just not logical. Also when it starts working in my web-browser, it also start to work on our users browser as well.
Every week I have to tell a couple of users to try like 10-15 times, but its not that funny to say this to a user.

Hi Roy Ingar Hansen,
If you think not to provide the password for your End user then we can do that go into the "Manage Object" and Process->Database enter the password and Enable the option in :
When viewing report:
Use same database logon as when report is run.
For the first time you need to enter the logon credentials and enable the option and click on update.
It wont prompt for the password and it will not show password to your user's.
If you have problems with Original database logon , then try with Custom database logon and update the option.
Try with this...
Regards,
Naveen.

When navigating back to a page with an IR, a different Saved Report shown

I have a page with an interactive report. I have several saved reports. One column has a link to another page in the application with address details. When I follow the link I correctly see the page. I click the "Back" button on the browser to get back to the interactive report. At this time, the saved report that is selected may not be the same as the one that was selected before I clicked the link.
How can I tell the currently displayed report id so that I can use that to populate an Item to be linked used as the Report ID Item?
Thanks,
Danny
