Header Section Formatting

Hello All,
Is it possible to have the header section printed on the same page as the main section.
What I want is to have the header information on the first page only but I want the details of the report (the main section) to start printing directly below.
Thank you for you responses.
Paul Howells

I have added heading text to my main section but despite the fact that it is before any frames and the Print Object On property is "First Page" it gets printed at the
top of every page. How can I get it to appear at the top of the first page only?
TIA
Simon

Problem with Header Section in BusinessObjects 6.5 (2)

I am using BusinessObjects 6.5 (2). I created a Report and it includes the Min Section. The Main section has 3 parts; H, S F.
I have 4 questions:
1) Why the height of the header is different in different pages?
2) I also inserted a table in the header, and the vertical spacing between the bottom of the table and the Main Section is different in different pages. In the first page the table is farther to the Main Section, and in the other pages the vertical space between the table in the header and the Main Section is closer.
3) How do I manipulate the height of each Section H, S, F
4) When I change the background of the Main Section Header(H) it is only changed in the first page(Section Format, Background Color).

How to get SYSDATE in the header section dynamically when we run the report

I have one more issue may i know how can i get the sysdate in the header section when i run the report.
as we have the requirement like this
In the header section
Run Date : ("sysdate").
How to get the sysdate dynamically in the RTF template, when i go across the google i found that header and footer section did not allow form fiields .
So is there any way to do it.
Thanks in Advance.
Have a Nice Day.

You cannot insert form fields in the Header section, but you can just insert the code to achieve this. For example: insert this in the header section to view the sysdate: You could format the date as you would like..
<?xdoxslt: sysdate(‘YYYY-MM-DD’)?>
Since you are new to BI publisher, search the forum, review the Report Designer's guide for BI publisher. You will find that most of your basic questions are answered there and there are examples as well.
Thanks!

Make Header Section optional

We currently print a statement in the Header Section of most of our reports. We would like to set it so that the users can select a parameter which will either suppress or display the page. Although I can put a format trigger on the frame in the Header Section and this successfully either displays or prints the statement, I'd like to display or print the whole page. Even if the statement is suppressed, the users still get a blank page.
There's no pl/sql or format trigger on the Header Section so I don't know how to apply the parameter to either print or suppress the page.
Any suggestions?
We're using the following system:
Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2
ORACLE Server Release 10.1.0.4.2
Oracle Procedure Builder 10.1.2.0.2
Oracle ORACLE PL/SQL V10.1.0.4.2 - Production
Oracle CORE 10.1.0.4.0 Production
Oracle Tools Integration Services 10.1.2.0.2
Oracle Tools Common Area 10.1.2.0.2
Oracle Toolkit 2 for Windows 32-bit platforms 10.1.2.0.2
Thanks so much for any help!

Hi,
You can try to set the following parameter : blankpages=no in addition to your formating trigger.
This when you call your report. You will have no blank pages. You should validate that you do not need blank pages otherwise.
Hope this helps

Export to MS Word: Page Header section placement

Hi,
I am somewhat new to Crystal Reports but I was hoping that someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. The problem I am having is when I export my report as "MS Word - Editable" my Page Header section ends up showing up before my Report Header section in the resulting rtf file.
More specifically, in the original report I am using the Page Header section to display the column names and the Report Header section to display the report title, etc. Thus my report format is as such:
Page 1
[Report Title]
[Column Names]
[row1]
[row2]
Page 2
[Column Names]
[row1]
[row2]
Once I export the report to an rtf file the format is changed to:
Page 1
[Column Names]
[Report Title]
[row1]
[row2]
Page 2
[Column Names]
[row1]
[row2]
Is there any way I can change the rtf export to match what the original report shows i.e. the column names displaying after the Report Title? Do I need to put the column names in a different section? Thanks very much in advance for any help.

After converting a page to xhtml 1.0 Transitional compliant, Dreamweaver indicates a syntax error warning in the head section

I had authored a few pages in HTML4.0 using templates, and all was well. I decided to convert them to xhtml 1.0 transitional. So I modified the tags to lower case and closed everything and it all validates.
The problem is that in Dreamweaver, it is indicatinga syntac error and I can't figure out why. The result of this is that the Template path substitution breaks, rendering the generated pages totaly munged.
Here is the head section:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

And here is the screen showing the error:
Is this something simple that I have forgotton? Or is this a bug?
...Mike

This seems to have been fixed by changing the format of the JS line from
<script src="../common/checkflash.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript" />
to
<script src="../common/checkflash.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"></script>
Still not sure if this is proper markup that DW is screwing up, or if it's improper markup and DW has identified it, although on the wrong line

How to add a field object to group header section in crystal report document?

Hi All, I have got two questions mentioned below, please share your inputs. 1)I want to know whether it is possible to add a field object to header section in crystal report document programmatically? I am using crystal runtime for visual studio. I know that using RAS we can do it, but I want to do it using managed library of crystal runtime. Please suggest. 2) I am doing a POC where I am using RAS (unmanaged library) to manipulated crystal report document. Please see code below: var dbTable = _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables[0]; var dbField = dbTable.DataFields.FindField(item.ColumnName, CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CrFieldDisplayNameTypeEnum.crFieldDisplayNameName, CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CeLocale.ceLocaleEnglishUS); CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject fieldObject = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject(); fieldObject.DataSourceName = dbField.Name; fieldObject.FieldValueType = dbField.Type; var groupHeaderArea = _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportDefinition.GroupHeaderArea[0].Sections[i]; _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.Add(fieldObject, groupHeaderArea); In above code last line throwing exception : "The report field type is not valid." at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportObjectControllerClass.Add(ISCRReportObject ReportObject, Section Section, Int32 nIndex) Thanks, Jai

Hi Jaikumar
As per the SCN Rules of engagement, one question per thread please.
Re. your 1st question. Adding a field to a report is considered to be a report creation APIs (RCAPI). Only the RAS SDK has RCAPIs, so you can not use plain jane crystal APIs. For how to with RAS, see the examples here: NET RAS SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
Also, consult the Developer Help Files:
Report Application Server .NET SDK Developer Guide
Report Application Server .NET API Guide
Re. your second question, please create a new discussion.

Custom HTML meta tags in head section

We want to add custom HTML code to our html-type (HTMLHelp,
FlashHelp, WebHelp) output.
We know how to add HTML code to the <body> section, by
selecting from RoboHelp's main top menu "Insert > HTML".
We also know how to add HTML code to multiple topics at once,
by adding the HTML code to the header and/or footer or a template,
and linking the relevant topics to that template.
We now want to add HTML code (in particular, custom META
tags) to the <head> section. However, it appears that the
content of the template header appears in the <body> section.
Of course, we could run a search-and-replace-all on our
existing topics, to replace existing HTML code on the <head>
section with our custom code. But we would need to remember to do
this each time we add a new topic. It is not a big deal, but this
does not seem to be a very efficient way of doing this.
We figure that there must be some type of collection of
HTML-templates that RoboHelp uses each time a new topic is created,
to automatically insert some standard HTML code. But, do we have
easy access to such HTML-templates? Where are they stored?
Thanks for you help!

Have you tried working in the "True Code" editor? This seems
to be all you need to do.

How to create a link in the head section of BC template?

Can anyone please explain so that even I can understand the reason why the following script does not work as I would expect?
I am trying to append a line of html code to the <head> section of a Page Template.
<script type="text/javascript">
function loadScript() {
if(window.location.href.indexOf("fish") > -1) {
alert("the url contains the string fish");
var csslink = document.createElement("link");
csslink.setAttribute("rel", "canonical");
csslink.setAttribute("type", "text/css");
csslink.setAttribute("href", "http://www.xyz.com/fish/herring");
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(csslink);
window.onload = loadScript();
</script>
Secondly if one cannot append to the <head> can one append to the <body> ?
Any help appreciated.
Kind regards
PW

Hello peterwulf,
Looks like you're missing a } above the widow.onload. That should fix it.
Hope this helps,

Why won't the header section of my Classic document print?

When I print a Classic document, printing begins at the bottom of the header section. The header section itself and any text therein is just ignored. (The header text is definitely within the page margins and the print margins, and the header dimension appears in the LaserWriter 8 Print dialogue box).
This is a great embarrasment if you are working with pre-printed stationery incorporating letterheads; to achieve the desired result you must add the header dimension to the letterhead dimension to find the insertion point setting for the first line of your document !!
Does anyone have a solution? The only clue that I can offer is that the printer is connected via a USB to parallel converter cable. (And there are no problems with OS X documents).

Hi, Roger. Every printer has a hardware-delimited maximum print area, and that area may in some cases be further restricted by the printer driver used. The position of that defined maximum-print-area rectangle on the page is also controlled by hardware or software or both. Any limitation that is imposed by your printer itself will, of course, not vary from OS X to OS 9 or Classic mode. But if your OS X driver and your OS 9 driver impose different print area restrictions, you'll see different results in Tiger and Classic. And if you're not using any OS 9 driver, as I suspect may be the case, then you may have to conclude that your old Classic apps (isn't WriteNow wonderful? I still use it too) just aren't as compatible as you might like with Classic printing in Tiger, or with your Gimp-Print driver, or with your parallel-to-USB adapter. There's an awful lot in the equation that was undreamed-of in 1994.
If there's no other driver option for you to try, then I strongly suggest buying a new, Mac-compatible printer to replace the old BJ-30, which was never meant to be used with a Mac in the first place.

How to control X-UA-Compatible tag in page head section?

Hello !
We are developing WebCenter Portal applications using JDeveloper 11.1.1.5.
All our pages are based on ADF.
Currently, we have 2 similar projects (actually – they are two different branches of same source project).
But the have one unexpected difference - when I check html-code of generated pages in one project I see
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html class="p_AFMaximized" dir="ltr" lang="ru"><head><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="*IE=8.0*"><link rel="stylesheet" charset="UTF-8" type="text/css" href="/portal/adf/styles/cache/portal-desktop-3kotcg-ltr-ie-8.0.css"> ...
And in another:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html class="p_AFMaximized" dir="ltr" lang="ru"><head><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="*IE=7.0*"><link rel="stylesheet" charset="UTF-8" type="text/css" href="/portal/adf/styles/cache/portal-desktop-dkw9cq-ltr-ie-7.0.css">
We have no ideas why one generate content="IE=7.0" and another content="IE=8.0".
We compared all possible configuration files, but have not find any difference.
I've googled, but found only post by Frank Nimphius that is applicable to 11.1.1.4. As far as I understand in that version ADF didn't put meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" in page head section.
The problem is that our pages looks awfully in IE7. And we don’t have to provide IE7 compatibility.
So, my question is - why one project generate content="IE=7.0" and another – 8.0 and how to control it?
Thank you in advance,
Boris

ADF: coloring the complete header section of table

Hi Everyone,
im using Jdev 11G.
I have created ADF Read only table on the page.
The table cosists of 15 columns.
To color the column heading and to make it bold i usesd the below script in the source of my page:
<f:facet name="header">
<f:verbatim>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"
border="0" width="100%"
style="background-color:#CPD8A1; width:100.0%; height:inherit;">
<tr>
<td width="100%" style="font-weight:bold;">Name </td>
</tr>
</table>
</f:verbatim>
</f:facet>
Now the problem is:
one of the column in my table is: "Customer's current residential address".
Now when i redused the space for this column the heading splited to two parts one on the top of other.
so the height of the header section for the table has increased so the background color is coming only for text not for the complete header part.
For suppose the first column is SNO then the background color is for only till SNO but the header height has increased so the remaining space it is coming hasbackgraound white.
Now i want the same background color for the complete header section without any white color.
I think im clear with my requirement...
Any ideas wil be really helpful.
Thank you.

One more hint, Oracle ADF has a skin editor which greatly helps you with your task. Depending on you JDev version you cna use the build in version (11.1.2.x) or use the stand alone version which you can donwload from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/downloads/index.html (bottom of the page and make sure you read the instructions+).

Show DFF in the Notification Header Section

Hi,
I was able to extend the Requisition Lines RN and display line level DFF attributes under Requisition Lines section of approval notification. This region is simplified JRAD and product specific, hence I could find the VO and change the query to display custom attributes.
Now, the users want custom DFF Header Attributes under the Header Section of Notification, along with Description, Requisiton Total and Estimated Tax.
Anybody extended Header section and displayed DFF attributes? These are 'Message Attributes' and I can see them from Workflow Builder. But I'm not able to find how the values are generated? How to display DFF values in the Header Section? If I define, new Message Attribute and somehow assign values in the workflow procedures, how would they display in the Nortificaiton Header as this is OA page.
Your inputs are really helpful.
Thanks,
Ram
