Group Tree Basic

Hi
I am using group trees in my report and it works fine, but I am not able to hide the group tree pane.
is there a way to hide it so that based on the use it displays only their results in the server when u run the report?
Also is there a way to show group trees for some users and hide it for some?
-like a super level user see all groups and runs report choosing from the group.
- an end user does nto see the group tree pane and only see his results based on the group condition.
Thanks!!

Are you in crystal reports XI / XIr2 / 2008 ?
In 2008 you wont be having that option in the report option, for that
go into > registry > Goto > Run > Type regedit>
In HKEy_Current Users > Software > Business Objects> Suite 12.0 > Report View > Change the string value of "Creategrouptree" as NO then open the report and try to refresh.
Hope this helps!

From CR 2008 Developer Help file:
The new parameter panel in Crystal Reports 2008 lets users set static and dynamic parameters and refresh the report. Users can also interactively format and filter report data. The parameter panel is available from the tool panel. You can access the parameter panel by clicking the Toggle Interactive Parameters button on the toolbar or programmatically by using the following code:
Visual Basic Copy Code
myCrystalReportViewer.ToolPanelView = ToolPanelViewType.ParameterPanel
C# Copy Code
crystalReportViewer.ToolPanelView = ToolPanelViewType.ParameterPanel;
You can hide the Toggle Interactive Parameters button programmatically by using the following code:
Visual Basic Copy Code
myCrystalReportViewer.ShowParameterPanelButton = False
C# Copy Code
crystalReportViewer.ShowParameterPanelButton = false;
The panel displays all parameters that have been set to Editable or Read only. If a parameter is set to Editable, you can add, delete or modify parameter values by clicking the Show the Advanced dialog box button. If the parameter values are modified but not applied, an asterisk will appear beside the parameter field to indicate that the values were not applied to the report.
Note
If the parameter accepts custom values, you can directly edit the parameter value in the text box on the parameter panel.
A database icon will appear adjacent to data parameters. When you modify the value of a data parameter, the report refreshes and accesses the database to make the corresponding changes. When you modify the value of a non-data parameter, the report is formatted or filtered based on saved data within the report. The report does not access the database.

Group Tree issue when refreshing- Crystal for Visual Studio 2010 WPF Viewer

Hello,
We've run into an issue when refreshing reports with the WPF viewer for Visual Studio 2010. After the report is refreshed, the Group Tree is blank and it should have values. For example, you run a report and see values in the Group Tree. If you refresh the report with the same parameter values the Group Tree is blank.
Has anyone run into this yet?
Thanks,
Tyler

That is correct.
I just did a quick test and was not able to reproduce the issue.
Details of test:
1) Create a new app;
File | New | Project
Visual Basic | reporting -> Crystal Reports WPF Application
2) Add the "Open File" button to the viewer (ShowOpenFileButton off of the WPF viewer properties)
3) Run app
4) Browse to a report that has a number of groups >250
5) Refresh report using the Refresh button on the viewer
I'll work on this a bit later today, see if I can repro it another way. Meanwhile, can you provide mode details (code) on how you repro the issue?

Customise Group Tree

I am using Crystal 8.0.
I have group trees that lets the user navigate the report. The report has 3 groups. Management wants the top parent group to disappear. Basically, management only wants to show two groups. I tried to create a custom group and set it to blank. That did not work because what management wants is for the group tree just to show the two underlying groups.
Can I prune the parent group on the group tree and just show the underlying groups?

Change your level 1 grouping to a concatenation of level 1 & level 2.
Remove level 2 group.
Customize the Group #1 Name to show what you want (sounds like you want to show only what used to be the level -2 group field).

Main Reports' Group Tree doesn't retain last record selected

In Crystal 2008 Viewer, when you click one of the last tree nodes on a long Group Tree, the program jumps to that part of the report for that group. But when you return to the Main report tab the Group Tree pane returns to the top.
According to my users, previous Crystal versions used to outline the previously selected tree node and keep that section in the left pane, so the user could see where they just were.
This partially works in the Crystal 2008 Developer version. If I preview the report and drill down with the group tree, the Preview tab's group tree pane stays in place. I do not, however, have any outline or indication of what group was just selected.
I found this in the help text: "For longer reports or reports in which you wish to jump back and forth between different groups, the smart navigation features of the Group Tree make your work extremely efficient." For the users to jump back and forth efficiently they need the Main Reports' group tree to remember the general location from which they came (at a minimum) AND/OR the previously drilled record also be highlighted/outlined (at best).

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

Sub report group tree in main report Using crystal report 12

Hi experts,
    I have a strange requirement like, same data needs to be grouped two different ways in a same report. Like
Store1:
    Summary of sales on each item chart
Store2:
    Summary of sales on each item chart
.....it goes like this
Department1(multiple stores)
      summary of sale on each item chart - store1
      summary of sale on each item chart - store2
     --........ it goes
Department2
      summary of sale on each item chart - store3
--........ it goes
   Its in single report, the first part is grouped only with store and in second part the store is under department. How to do this in same report?
    I achieved this by creating a sub report to display the first part of data and in the main report sup report data plus the second part of data will be displayed. And its working well but now the problem is the group tree, I'm not able to see the sub report group tree in the main report.
   How to get the sub report group tree in the main report, Or is there any other better way is there so i can get both the data as well the group tree. Please help me to solve this. CryCryCry
I'm using crystal report 2008(installed separately) with Visual Studio2008 (.Net3.5)
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
    Yea both data source are same(Datasource is SQL Stored Procedure). I cant use like that, because my client needs the group tree also. In case if there is no group tree, we can create one more group and supress it conditionaly. But here the problem is there is no way to suppress any of the group item in group tree as we can do it in the detail section.
    So please me with some different ways and also , please clarrify the following doubts
1. Can we supress one or more items in the group tree.
2. Can we get the sub report group tree in main report(Everything is working when i used the sub reports except the group tree). So I'm trying for different ways to do, but none is helping me
Please help me

Having issues viewing interactive parameters and group tree in Visual Studio 2013 design view.

Hey Guys,
I'm a web developer (front end and back end, kind of a one man army sort of deal) and my current employer wishes to use crystal reports to display the results of the online survey apps/tools I have been working on for the last few months. However, I have been having trouble getting the reports to render in browser, and a lot of the ui components of the browser based report viewer (the interactive parameters and group tree) will not render properly in the design view of visual studio (ive attached a screen cap of what I'm talking about) or in the browser itself.
I am new to crystal reports and its community and if I am leaving out any critical details or have posted in the incorrect section please inform me and I will make changes as necessary.
Additional info:
Visual studio version: 2013 professional (trial)
Plugin version (exe file name): CRforVS_13_0_9.exe (I also installed the 64 bit run-time from this)
Server and OS versions: IIS 7.5 on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
Any help you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
-Mike

Hi Mike
First thing you want to do is uninstall CRVS SP 9 and install CRVS SP 10. SP 10 is the first SP to support VS 2013.
Once that is done, let us know if that helped any.

Hide the 'group tree' in crystal reports 2008

Hey Guys,
Please help me out.
I need to hide the group tree which automatically shoots on the crystal report after execution.
This is what i need to see. Only the report data (After report execution) i do not need to see the group tree under the tab 'main report' which appears on the left had side of the report.
I know that in the previous version there was an option which would hide the group tree option under File>Report Option> uncheck Group tree.
But there is no option here in CR 2008.
Is there a code i need to insert somewhere in the report??
Regards,
Harvino

Hi Chinmay,
Thanks for your quick reply, I was late on the reply because I had a load of other things to do. Sorry for that....
I am aware that we can click the toggle panel to remove the group tree.
But a user wants to hide the group tree on 1st run,,,, that is causing the problem.....
I cant seem to find an option we can disable group tree for the user, so that he may not view the group tree..

Report as an Inquiry tool - Controlling the Group Tree

Users would like to be able to use this report as an inquiry tool... having trouble with displaying only relevant data (or at least highlighting the appropriate/relevant data on the left hand window pane - aka the Group Tree).
Perhaps the report needs to be reconfigured as a subreport?
Here is the issue, any hints or suggestions are welcome!
thanks
CR Xi --version --> 11.0.0.2134
Report Groups on Last Name
Transaction detail; totaling an amount field (logic works to suppress if total of all transactions is not equal to zero) -- Report is reporting on zero balance records by last name --
Selection expert;
Sum ({transactions.Amount},{MASTER.HEAD_L_NAME}) >= $0.009 (group selection)
{MASTER.UNIT_ID} = "" (record selection)
Of the 10,000 records returned (unit id = blank), 200 records have a sum of zero in the amount fields (the sum of all transactions by last name) u2013 this all works fine
Is there a method to control what the users see on the group tree? What it is displaying on the left are the Group records (10,000) by last name who have a blank unit id in the master file... drilling down on one of the 200 transactions where the record meets both criteria works fine...but the other 8,800 records don't meet the detail/transaction criteria, so there is nothing to display and hence the drill down makes no sense when used as a query - The correct records are shown on the report - that is, if the users printed the report, they would get records which meet both criteria...
Can only records show on the left side when they meet both the group (id = blank) and detail (transactions summed = 0) selection criteria?
Or can they at least these that meet both criteria be highlighted in some way?

try using Group selection (select expert->group) along with record selection.

Group Tree: Error in Ajax response - message: missing } in XML expression

Hi,
We were using a previous version of Crystal libs and viewer. I wanted to get up to date with the latest jars and viewer so I downloaded and installed the version with Eclipse 3.4.1 and crystal development bundled together.
I've copied the new jars from there into my existing project. I've also copied the folder cyrstalreportviewers into the project. We're using Tomcat 6.
I've now got a problem with the Group Tree at the moment since I started using the latest libraries and crystal report viewers.
My web.xml looks like this.
        <context-param>
          <param-name>crystal_image_uri</param-name>
          <param-value>/crystalreportviewers</param-value>

     </servlet>
       <servlet-mapping id="CrystalReportViewerServletMapping">

          <url-pattern>/CrystalReportViewerHandler</url-pattern>
     </servlet-mapping>
A request to the uri https://......../WebApp/CrystalReportViewerHandler?id=3
The servlet doesn't do anything that seems to be uncommon. I can post more precisely what it does if needed.
The report will load correctly, I don't get an error page asking if my crystalreportviewers/ path is accessable to the server.
I get a parameter page asking for a value. I enter that and click OK.
The viewer sends a POST request to my Servlet and is handled correctly.
The report is then loaded.
On the click of an item in the Group Tree it sends an Ajax POST request and I then get the following error:
message: missing } in XML expression
fileName: https://localhost:8080/WebApp/crystalreportviewers/allInOne.js

Clicking on the Groups headers on the right hand pane work as expected. Although I notice they are not Ajax requests.
I've spent a few days at this now and I feel like I'm running out of options but to revert back to the previous version we were using. I presume this works elsewhere so I've got to be doing something incorrectly with my setup.
If anyone needs more info then please ask.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Ted,
Thanks for your reply.
That's our own Servlet. It extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
doGet does the following stuff:
Creates a ReportClientDocument.
Sets the ReportAppServer to "inproc:jrc".
Opens the report as read only.
Gets the DBController and calls logon on it.
Then calls replaceConnection.
Adds some discrete param values.
Creates a CrystalReportViewer.
gets the report source from the report client document.
sets the report source on the crystal report viewer.
set own page to true.
sets the report source in the session.
The crystal Report Viewer then processes the Http Request.
doPost:
gets the report source from the session.
creates a CrystalReportViewer.
sets the report source on the crystal report viewer.
set own page to true.
The crystal Report Viewer then processes the Http Request.
One thing I changed in there was the way the data source was changed. It used to loop through tables.
Tables tables = clientDoc.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables();
newTable.setQualifiedName(qualifiedName);
clientDoc.getDatabaseController().setTableLocation(origTable, newTable);
Now it does this:
DatabaseController dbController = clientDoc.getDatabaseController();
dbController.logon(username, password);
dbController.replaceConnection(new ConnectionInfo(), connectionInfo, null, DBOptions._useDefault);
If you need more info please do let me know. Thanks for your help.

Analytical Services failed to get user's parent group tree with Error

Hi,
We have a frequent errror during our weekly batch for an application.
The context:
- Essbase Administration Services we are using is version is 9.3.1.
- 8 applications are calculated during the week-end. The scripts executed are exactly the same for the 8 applications.
- For example let's say that 5 scripts are launched during the night in the batch for each application (script 1, script 2 ... script 5)
- App1 and App2 are launched alone and before the 6 others applications as these applications database are 3 x bigger (App1 is calculated alone, then app2 is calculated alone, then app3 to app8 scripts are launched in the same time).
The issue :
- We don't see any issue for app3 to app8, the calculation are executed without any problem from script1 to script5.
- But we have an error in App1 and App2 log when the bath execute script 4 and we see the following error in the server log **
"Analytical Services failed to get user's parent group tree with Error".
(** : we don't see any log for script 4 in the application log - it's like the server bypass script 4 to go directly from script 3 to script 5 )
Nothing special is done in script 4 but just an aggregation of the Year dimension (using a @SUM(@RELATIVE(Year,0)) calculation.
I think that there is may be a synchronization error with Shared Services but what is strange is that it's always for the same script 4 and the batch is launched at different time every week-end.
Can the issue be linked to the size of the database of applications (8 Gb) and difficulties for the processor to executes aggregation in a large database volume ?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when sending an email to the user in workflow.
Did you delete the existing Connections before setting NetBiosDomainNamesEnabled?
If not, I recommend to delete and recreate your AD connections, then set NetBiosDomainNamesEnabled to true.
Or you can delete the original User Profile Service Application and create a new one, then set the NetBiosDomainNamesEnabled to true and start the User Profile Service Application
synchronization.

Group Tree - Magnifying Glass - opens new preview pane -

I have several reports that are similar, each with a group based on the same "refnum" field. On one report, I get a magnifying glass in the preview window, and when I click on a group, it opens a new preview window with just that group.
On the other reports, I don't see that magnifying glass to the left of the group name in the preview group tree, and when I click on the group, I just move to that page of the report. How do I get them all to behave the same way - how do I control that group tree behavior

You are seeing the magnifying glass because in the section expert, you've set Hide (Drill Down OK) for the section.

How to hide Group Tree in Crystal Report Server.

Hi all visitors
i have created one crystal report and my report use group to summary the amount of each day.
after i use group to summary, i used text box cover the group. so my group can't click anything.
After that i upload my report to crystal report server, when i viewed my report and when i click on Group Tree, it will show the list of group (group date in crystal report) and it also can click. I don't want to show the Group Tree in Crystal Report Server.
Anybody know how to hide group tree in crystal report server?
Best Regards,

Are you talking custom application, or infoview? If it is custom app, you would have to look at the setToolPanelViewType method. if its infoview, no direct way to change this that i know of.

Crystal Report Export to PDF with Group Tree Bookmarks

Dear Forum
I have created a Crystal Report aspx page with an export function of the report to pdf. So far all has been successful, except form one little annoying this. The report does export to a pdf file and it does create bookmarks based on the group tree, BUT when opening the pdf file the bookmarks hiest point which should be the file name is the really long temp file name with .rpt as an extension. I have looked every where to try to get it to write the filename to the bookmark hierarchy without success.
I come you you all for any form of help to solve this issue.
My code is below
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportOptions export_options = new ExportOptions();
            export_options.ExportFormatType = CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;
            string ext = ".pdf";
            string reportName = "Filename";
            CrystalDecisions.Shared.PdfFormatOptions pdfOptions = new PdfFormatOptions();
            pdfOptions.CreateBookmarksFromGroupTree = true;
            export_options.ExportFormatOptions = pdfOptions;
            report.ExportToHttpResponse(export_options, Response, true, reportName);
            Response.Clear();
            Response.Buffer= true;
            Response.End();
Below is an image of the output
Any and all help is greatly appreciated

Using the search box in the top right corner and entering the search string 'bookmark pdf crystal', the very 1st KBA is:
1331152 - Report exported to PDF format with bookmarks displays the bookmarks as report name plus a GUID
Please see if this resolves the issue for you.

Eliminating Group Tree Level in VS2010

I need to have a variable number of levels in the group tree in VS2010, a technique I have used in CR for VS2005. I also saw this resolved for someone using VS2008 on thread 1493907 using the same method that I used in 2005. If, at the most detailed level, I group on a formula that I set to return a zero length string, that level still shows up in the tree and causes an error if the user tries to drill down that far.
The 3 grouping furmulas:
Group 1 formula
select {?level}
case 1 : {XXX.AGENCY_CD}
case 2 : {XXX.REGION_CD}
case 3 : {XXX.ORG_CD}
default: ""
Group 2 formula
select {?level}
case 1 : {XXX.REGION_CD}
case 2 : {XXX.ORG_CD}
default: ""
Group 3 formula
select {?level}
case 1 : {XXX.ORG_CD}
default: ""
Summary
If reporting from Level 1, then all levels of the tree are necessary. If reporting at level 4, I hide the group tree, since it is not necessary. If I want to report from level 3 (or 2), 2 (or 1) levels of grouping should be eliminated, but they are not.

Don
I set the grouping level to 3 (out of 1,2,3,4). If the level is 4, the tree makes no sense, so I hide it.
If I run the program from the IDE:
When I try to drill down in the GroupTree to the level that should not exist, Visual Studio breaks n allInOne.js with the error "Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'txtTooltipLyr' is null or not an object".
If I view it in the Main Report Preview in the IDE:
The 2 levels of nodes that should be eliminated are visible, but they do not do anything. The have no text and expanding the lowest level of the tree does nothing.
If I deploy the web page and run it without using the IDE:
The 2 levels of nodes that should be eliminated are visible, but they do not do anything. The have no text and expanding the lowest level of the tree does nothing, except that on the browser status bar there is an 'Error on page.' message.
I have never exported to RPT format. I just tried it and I had to open it with visual studio. It acts just like Main Report Preview described above.
DebugDiag does not show anything, I am guessing because the IDE is catching the error and nothing is really crashing.
