Post Author: svettori
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Good morning evrybody.
I am looking for a solution in order to link 2 tables where field type are different even if they manage the same information.I have several report created under CR 8.5 using this link between my 2 tables and since I change for CR XI it doesn't work anymore.
Our software provider cannot change this in its oracle DB so is there any possibility to force the link between to table event if datatype is <>
Thanks in advance.

Is there any chance you could create a view to link the tables and report off the view?

Load Multiple Images using link in Crystal Report

Hi Guys,
I am currently in need of developing a new requirement for our company's client. We have to load multiple images using just link in Crystal Report. Let's say that the images are stored in a folder (e.g., C:\Datafolder\Images\) and i have to fetch two images to show in crystal report (say, C:\Datafolder\Images\imageval1 and C:\Datafolder\Images\imageval2). These are actually dynamically created and therefore the number of images are not known and so i have to iterate through the list of image links.
Is it possible using merely crystal report and how?. Please take note that we're also using C# in developing our software applications.
Thanks and best regards.
---CHITO--

Hi Chito,
You cannot load multiple images dynamically. Using the 'graphic location' formula for the OLE Object, you can only point to a location that can load one image.
For the second image, you'll need to manually insert another OLE Object and point the formula to the next image's location.
You can try posting to the SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio space to find out whether this can be done using CR SDK.

Link a Crystal Report report with an SQL Azure database

Hi,
I want to use my database on SQL Azure in Crystal Report. So I want to link my reports with data contained not in a local db, but in a SQL Azure one.
Insiede Crystal Report I have created a new ADO connection to my SQL Azure, providing server, db, user, password, and Crystal Report have recognized the database. But when I go to the Database Expert and I try to set this ADO connection inside my report,
I recieve this error:
"Not Implemented
Source ADODB.Connection
L'operazione richiesta non è supportata dall'oggetto o dal provider (operation not supported by the object or by the provider)"
Why? How can i use my SQL Azure data in my Crystal Report reports?
Thanks

Hi Delfins,
Please create a UDL file to test the connection, ensure the connection is fine and then use the same connection string in your Crystal Report.
For UDL file, you can refer to:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e38h511e(VS.71).aspx
Hope this helps,

Problem with subrpt links in crystal reports 8.5 (cr 9 and 2008 installed)

I am trying to add a subreport to an existing CR 8.5 report. I currently have Cr 8.5, cr 9 and cr 2008 on my pc (xp). The subrpt is pointing to a sql 2005 stored procedure that has a parameter (@vvcrCono). When I try to set up the link, the parameter is not listed in the of available parameters to link to. I select a field from the available fields on the main report, hit the > to move it over as a field to link to, and the dropdown that contains the list of parms to link to on the subreport will change to ?pm-(fieldname). I do not see the parm list from the subreport. I am unable to get the link defined. This occurs even when trying to edit an existing subreport.
Is there a problem with running these crystal report versions on the same machine? Or am I just missing something? It has been a while since I've used cr 8.5.

Joanne, thank you for your posted solution and specifically your mention of miniscule scroll bar of the 'subreport parameter field to use' drop down, I had been on several forums but none of them mentioned this, my subreport now accepts the passed parameter and main report works well. Hope your post helps others as it did me, only wish we could include a graphic to illustrate this as I have seen same question posed several times and several different msg boards.

Dynamic url link for Crystal Reports Enterprise?

Hi all,
We recently upgraded to SBOP 4.0 SP2 and are looking at migrating our existing Crystal Reports from Crystal Reports 2011 to Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0.
Up to this point we have been utilizing the BW Publisher and role menus in BW.
Our long term goal is to migrate users from the BW GUI to the BI LaunchPad but this will be a gradual process.
Until we make the final switch to the LaunchPad we need to maintain the links in the role menus. I found the Document Link option for Crystal Reports so I have a URL to point to the report that we can put in the role menu, but the system value is not dynamic. Is there a way to make this dynamic like we can do with web template URLs?
For example, when using a web template URL we can use the <bsp_server> parameter in the URL to determine the SAP system. Is there an equivalent that can be used in the Document Link for the Crystal Report to determine the respective SBOP system?
Thanks.

Create JAVA link in Crystal Report Viewer?

We are looking at using Crystal for Reporting and are trying to determine if within a Crystal Report we can place data that is created as a Java link. Lets say a dollar amount in the report...can it be created with a Java link attached that will call off and run another quick report/drilldown to return more detail information?

Hello Tim,
Yes,that is certainly possible.You can create a link which will be treated as object n report and then you need to create hyperlink for that specifying detail location of another object.
Thanks,

Report links in Crystal Reports portlet for IBM Websphere 6.0

Hi,
We have some problem when we try to use BusinessObjects XI Release 2 Java Portal Integration Kit for WebSphere (http://ftp1.businessobjects.com/outgoing/products/pik/BusinessObjectsPortlets.zip), that was downloaded from http://www.businessobjects.com/products/downloadcenter/boepik.asp.
This portlet configured for work with Crystal Reports Server XI Release 2 Service Pack 2.
The portal server that we use is IBM WebSphere Portal Server 6.0.
In Portlet interface we can see list of reports on Crystal Reports server, but links for this reports lead us from browser window direct to Crystal Reports Server without Portal links rewriting. It is problem because we have access to Crystal Reports Server only from Portal Server computer. It is not accessible from users computers due to security reasons and network restrictions. Coud you help us and provide some advices how to configure this portlet in way to show reports through Portal?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards
B.M.

Here is a list of all the communication types available. You must enter them as a comma seperated list. I personally hard code them in the WEB-INF/portlet.xml and then redeply the BOportlet.war file. If you don't want to do that, you should be able to add them by logging in to the Webspere Portal admin interface.
Portlet Management>Portlets>Document List>Configure Portlet>Page 2 edit the Communication Types.
CrystalReport, Analysis, Webi, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Pdf, Txt, Rtf, MyInfoView, AFDashboardPage, Analytic, FullClient
I am also attaching a snippet of my portlet.xml where I added the comunication types in there.
Once these are added, when you run/view a report in the document list portlet, the report will open in the document view portlet.
Let me know if this helps.

What is the URL link for Crystal Report samples from Richard Duffy or SAP?

Hey Experts,
I recall there is a website provided by Richard or SAP that gives away free sample of various crystal reports, or charges for some reports at a minimal price.
Anyone know the website link??
Thanks!
