Fontsize issue converting 6i reports to 11g

Hi All,
I have just converted my existing 6i Reports to 11g (by opening the 6i reports into 11g report's builder, generating the .rep file and saving the report).
However, when I run the report it displays the text and labels slightly bigger and hence the text characters gets wrapped to the next line.
The same report with the same set of data runs fine in 6i and the reports displays the content correctly.
I am displaying the 11g reports in the PDF format and running is in Windows environment.
My question are:
1.) Will I need to change the layout of all the converted reports manually in 11g report's builder, to increase the size of all the items that are getting wrapped.
2.) Are there any settings that I need to consider prior to running the reports in 11g (i.e any Fonts mappings).
3.) Is there any method of converting all the 6i reports into 11g without messing up any of the fontsizes?
Thanks in advance
Sanjiv

Hi Andres,
Yes, I did that on one of the report. I converted the report into .rex file, changed all the FONTSIZE to slighthly smaller, but still quite a lot of manual intervention required.
I think that option is certainly to be considered, but may have to write some "clever scripts" to update all the fontsizes quickly and correctly.
I was hoping for some kind of setups that may be required and 11g would automatically correct it at runtime.
Thanks for your advice though.

Issue while exporting report - OBIEE 11g - IIS 7.5

Hi,
We are currently on OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0 version of OBIEE and we have set up proxy through IIS 7.5 on Windows 2008 R2 server.
While exporting our reports, we need to ensure that both Export to excel options (2003 and 2007+) are working fine. However, for some reports, when we try to download the reports to Excel 2007+ format, we get a "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error message. This issue does not appear if we change the URL to directly access Weblogic server (instead of routing through IIS). Wanted to know if anyone have faced similar issue and have found any solution/workaround for same.
Thanks
Hyder

Hyder,
I have achieved this.We have deployed our OBIEE application on Weblogic server not on IIS.

Dear Alexander,
Thanks for the reply.
In this I am using the FM 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'. I have checked the settings from SPAD that is also same in both servers for particular output device. But the patches are diffrennt in both the servers, the server from which layout is not coming properly having the high level patches in compare to the other server(which is working fine).

Problem to export a report (to PDF) after converting my reports to CR13

I have an old project with reports developped using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2003 (.NET 1.1). I want to convert them so I can now use Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (with .NET 3.5).
I installed Crystal Reports for VS2010 and I converted my reports to the new format. Unfortunately, one of my reports is not working anymore.
My ASP.NET application generate the report and export it as a PDF. I use CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Export().
Everytime I run this method, an exception is thrown...
System.Exception was unhandled by user code
Message=System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80041004):

StackTrace:
I also tried to export the report (using PDF format) at design time with the "Export Report" button in Preview mode. It didn't work. But, I can export the report at design time using another format type (like XML).
The old version of te report (using .NET 1.1, CR9) work fine. As I said, other reports in that same project work perfectly.
Is someone have an idea of what's wrong!
Thanks!
Max.

The most common cause of this problem is having very large detailed images, or lots and lots of images in your report. The Crystal Report engine changed a lot from 9.1 to 13. The big change was from 9.1 to 10 though when we started using the RAS InProc engine.
The Crystal reporting engine is not efficient at handling the images and it can cause memory issues like you are seeing. As a test, try suppressing the images that show up frequently in your report and retry your export. If it works you'll have your answer and you'll need a new creative way to design your report without so many images.

Database is Locking While Priview the PLD converted Crystal report

Hi All
I converted a Purchase Order PLD into Crystal Report to design a PO according to user requirement in a TEST company
and save this report physically and again I use this Converted Crystal Report as a Layout in the TEST1 company on the Purchase Order.While priview the Purchase Order document it is working fine
when this same layout is used in TEST2 and preview the document it asking the login details and same thing is happening in the other database TEST1 (in which Report is working fine) also and i came to know that the all the databases are locked

Converting Crystal Reports to Oracle BI publisher Reports

Hello,
We are trying to convert the existing Crystal Reports to Oracle BI publisher. Hence, I was wondering if any of you may have undergone this conversion process and would let me know how to approach this task?
Are there any tools that can be used to convert the Crystal Reports to BI publisher. I am aware of the Oracle listed tools for Oracle Reports / Actuate Reports to BI Publisher. But, I dont find any for Crystal Reports.
Thank you for your time.

Converting crystel Reports DIA to Background

Hi All ,
I have issue with crystal report; we are created a crystal report through SAPBI, these reports are running In DIA (Dialogue) in SAP BI. I want to convert this reports to Background, Is there any way???
Praveen Yagnamurthy

Hi,
You can run scheduled reports in Crystal Enterprise using SAPu2019s batch mode. The
InfoSet and Open SQL drivers can run reports using SAPu2019s batch or background
mode when specific environment variables are set to 1. The relevant environment
variables are:
u2022 CRYSTAL_INFOSET_FORCE_BATCH_MODE (for the InfoSet driver)
u2022 CRYSTAL_OPENSQL_FORCE_BATCH_MODE (for the Open SQL driver)
However, it is recommended that you use this feature only when you have a
distributed installation of Crystal Enterprise. When these environment variables
are set to 1, the drivers run reports using SAPu2019s batch mode, regardless of the
reporting component that is actually running the report. Therefore, if you create
these environment variables as system environment variables on a machine that is
running a combination of Crystal Enterprise servers, the drivers run all reports in
batch mode (including on-demand report requests from the Page Server and the
Report Application Server).

Hi
This can be done at the reporting level. Below link will help you solve this.

Issue in ALV Report

Hi,
I have a issue in ALV Report for displaying one field's data into output.
I am getting data into all other fields in ALV Report except for this field.
This field & related fields are declared as below: in final internal table.
sta_no     TYPE z3status,
status(10) TYPE c,
Here z3status is of type Char(1).
In Report
I have put a condition :
IF i_tab-sta_no EQ 1.
   i_tab-status = 'Created'.
ELSE.
   i_tab-status = 'Closed'.
ENDIF.
and to field catalog also i am passing right information as for every other field in ALV Report.
Till the point use of REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY F.M also final internal table is having status field filled.
But in output nothing gets displayed for Status field.
Can anybody tell me what can be the issue!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,

Performance issue in Portal Reports

Hi
We are experiencing a serious performance issue, in a report, and need a urgent fix on this issue.
The report is a Reports From SQL Query report, I need to find a way to dynamically make/create the where clause otherwise I have to make the statement in a way the exclude the use of indexes.
Full-table-scan is not a valid option here; the number or records is simply too high (several millions its a datawarehouse solution). In the Developer packaged, we can make the where clause dynamically, this basic yet extremely important feature, is essential to all database application.
We need to know how to do it, and if this functionality is not natively supported, then this should be one of the priority one functionalities to implement in future releases.
However, what do I do for now?
Thank in advance

I have found a temporary workaround, by editing the where clause in the stored procedure manually. However this fix have to be done every time a change have been committed in the wizard, so it is still not a solution to go for indefinitely, but its ok for now.
