Hello experts.
Is this possible, in my detail fields(Number) I have a records of Ex: from my database
Ex :
1
2
3
4
I want to changed it as Ex:
Ex :
1, 2, 3, 4
Is this possible? Thanks

hi,
try this. this might not be the best solution, but this works fine
make a 4 formula base on your example.
Formula name: 1st
Formula: {ist_yourDatabaseField}
Formula name: 2nd
Formula: {2nd_yourDatabaseField}
Formula name: 3rd
Formula: {3rd_yourDatabaseField}
Formula name: 4th
Formula: {4th_yourDatabaseField}
and then insert a text field in your details section and manually add your formula fields like this
{@1st}, {@2nd}, {@3rd}, {@4th}

Fidel

Need help Crystal Reports running in BO 4.1 while using Universe as database connection.

Sorry, I may not know how to describe this in the correct technical manner, but I'll explain in as simple terms as I can.
I open up Crystal Reports 2013 click new document
and it begins to ask for Database Expert.
I select Universes and log in to my Business Objects Enterprise Explorer.   I then select the Universe that I want to write my report with,
then i save the rpt on my local machine.
then I log into my Business Objects 4.1 CMC or BI and upload this rpt file so that I can begin to schedule the report for example...
but the problem i have is whenever I try to run the report,
it asks for a prompt for my database connection...
it displays the Universe name, but User Name Password, I am not sure what to write,
do I write My login for Business Objects? do I write the user name password of the database that Universe uses?
in CMC I see a database configuration, I tried many combinations and still have been receiving the following error message
The viewer could not process an event. The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect. []
---- Error code:0 [CRWEB00000119]
From all I read the point of using the Universe in Crystal reports is to be automatic in such a way that it doesnt need the database conneciton, because its technically using the Universe as the database connection....
so what am I doing wrong here?    maybe its my database configuration,    I keep reading that it doesnt need anything...   that you upload the Crystal Reports and it would just work...
any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated..
thanks
-Daniel

Hi Daniel,
What is the reporting DB used?
The trick with your configuration is the following:
- Universe Designer: 32bits application that may work fine on your desktop
- Crystal 2013: 32bits application as well
- When you export to the repository, Web Intelligence (64bits) has to process the Universe to extract the query.
Your server should have the drivers required for Crystal + Universe: 32bit and 64bit versions.

Help: Crystal Report displays decimals on X-axis when published in Infoview

Hi everyone
I've been banging my head on my keyboard trying to get past the following issue:
We have a Crystal Report (XI R2 SP3) containing a bar chart that has numbers on both the X- and Y-axis.
On the Y-axis I can control the "Number" settings to remove decimals after the comma. So far so good.
On the X-axis on the other, the numbers are the result of an extensive formula trying to breakdown
numbers into ranges. Numbers are always whole (no decimals). The X-Axis is an Ordinal scale, which
does not allow to set any number formatting. Numeric scale does not work in this case because it
compresses the entire chart into a few bars. And this is where the problem is:
In Crystal Reports I have a global setting for "Numbers" not to show any decimals. This works, when
generated in Crystal, I have no decimals past the comma in the graphs on the X-axis.
when I publish this report to Business Objects Infoview portal and schedule and run it there, all of a
sudden the PDF displays an X-axis that has 2 decimals past the comma (1234.00). It's driving me nuts.
I suspect this is a bug, because I've not managed to get rid of these decimals without a text-conversion in
the formula (does not suit me, I need data ordered properly).
Can anyone help? Has anyone had this issue?
Much appreciated!
Thanks.
The latest of version of my formula truncates and converts ToNumber. Nothing helps:
Tonumber(
truncate(
IIF (InStr ({Command.SUB_SPECIFICATION},'XF') > 0
 IIF ({Command.X_TIME} <= 300,300,
 IIF ({Command.X_TIME} <= 5000,
 Ceiling ({Command.X_TIME}, 200),10000
,IIF(InStr ({Command.SUB_SPECIFICATION},'XT') > 0 Or InStr
({Command.SUB_SPECIFICATION},'XY') > 0,
 IIF ({Command.X_TIME} <= 1000,Ceiling ({Command.X_TIME}, 50),
 IIF ({Command.X_TIME} <= 5000,
 Ceiling ({Command.X_TIME}, 200),10000
 IIF ({Command.X_TIME} <= 300,Ceiling({Command.X_TIME},10),
 IIF ({Command.X_TIME} <= 5000,
 Ceiling ({Command.X_TIME}, 200),10000
Edited by: FREDERIC AGOSTINI on Nov 6, 2008 3:43 PM

Hi Frederic,
I tired the following on my machine having CR XI R2, just as a sample report i created the following formulas,
Reproducing the issue:
u2022 Create a formula field u2013 FiscalCurrentHeader u2013
"FY " & year(DateAdd ("m",+6,CurrentDate))
u2022 Use a text box and place this formula field
Summary for {@FiscalCurrentHeader}
u2022 In the designer, the string exports to .pdf as 'FY 2009' , but on the scheduling/distribution server (BOE XI), the string exports to .pdf as 'FY 2,009.00' (as a number).
Cause:
u2022 The datatype of the field u2013 FiscalCurrentHeader is considered as number, because of which when scheduling/distribution server (BOE XI), the string exports to .pdf as 'FY 2,009.00' (as a number).
Resolution:
u2022 To remove the comma use ToText in the formula
"FY " & ToText(Year(DateAdd ("m",+6,CurrentDate)), "0")
u2022 To remove the comma we can even use
u201CFY u201D & ToText(Year(DateAdd ("m",+6,CurrentDate)), "0","")
The last "" defines your 000 separator.
Try using ToText in place of ToNumber.
I hope this works at your end.

Abhijeet Taskar.

Help - Crystal reports 2008 - will not work

I am a Systems Administrator for a small company of 450 users.
I am unfamiliar with Crystal reports
We have a recent problem with Crystal Reports 2008, only 1 user in the company uses it.
Since I recreated a windows profile on this users PC who has Crystal installed.
She is using .CSV files as her data sources. These CSV files are on her local machine.
She is trying to load an RTM template file, then do a refresh, and it asks for a datasource?
We try to select Excel, but it asks for a username and password to connect to the excel Datasource, and anything we type in fails.
Previously a refresh just worked.
I uninstalled reinstalled, still asking to select datasource.
I installed this originally 4 months ago and we did not have this problem.
Can you please assist?

Hello,
Sounds like possibly a Microsoft update which altered the security settings either on the CSV or the folder where it's located.
Can she create a new report off the CSV if she copies it locally? I assume the csv is on a network share?

Formula Help Crystal Reports 11

Hello,
I am having trouble with a selection formula. I wrote a report that queries 2 tables that have been joined within my report. A primary table and a secondary table. The secondary table can contain multiple detail records that are associated with each primary record.
There is a field in each record of the secondary table that contains an alpha character. I need a slection formula to scan through the fields of the secondary records and if one of those secondary records has a particular value (In this case "T") I would like ALL of the secondary records included in my report along with the primary record indexed to it. If no secondary record in the series has a value of "T" then all records should be excluded from the report including the primary record indexed to that series of secondary records.
Is there a function I can use to accomplish this type of logic?...an example of the appropriate syntax would be helpful.
Your help is much appreciated!
Mark

Hi Mark,
Use the InStr function. This will allow you to search for a string and it will return a numeric value which represents the placement.
Instr ({Table.FIELD}, "T") > 0;
This will return all records that have a "T" in that field.
Good luck,
Brian

Crystal reports asking for login information at runtime

BH
Hi,
I've installed the Crystal Reports for VS2010 (filename: CRforVS_13_0_9). I've created a new "Crytal Reports Application" Project and I've added dataset which is connected to Access 2010 database. When I create a new report I use the "Project Data > Ado.Net Datasets > CrystalReportsApplication8 > Ledger" as my connection. I connect the report to the CrystalReportViewer in Form1.
However, when I run the application, I get prompted for a Username and Password. Even though I type in the correct user name and password, it does not let me login and view the report. I've been struggling for a few days with this. What am I doing wrong? I do not want the application to prompt for a username and password, because I've already entered the credentials in the application. I've searched on the web for a solution, but with no success. Please help. I'm using C#.
Thanks
Aron

Error - Crystal Reports has stopped working

I have downloaded the CR 2011 trial, and I am trying to open a Crystal 7 report. The strange thing is that it was opening OK before, but has now stopped opening. Some of the Crystal 7 reports I have are able to be opened, and others are not.
The error is not helpful - Crystal Reports has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the CR 2011 trial, but this has not helped.
Has anyone had a similar problem?

Thomas,
Can you create a brand new reports against those Stored Procedures?
Are the .rpt files from CR 7 still have the old "last modified" date?
What if you try a middle CR version, like install temporary CR XIR2, open and save the reports and then try to open in the latest version?
Do you know if failing reports have any external links like Linked pictures, OLE objects, etc.?
Have you ever used Process Monitor utility? It may be helpful to identify what CR is trying to do.
Vitaly.

Please help with my crystal reports server 2008 trial setup

Firstly, if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it. I find this forum is to big to find the information i need, in fact trying to find anything i need on this website is almost impossible. So far not impressed with SAP at all! we download a trial and when we have problems nobody can support us and we have to post in the forums for answers, which i find disgracefull to be honest. So this post is my last attempt of finding the answers to my problems or we are going to forget crystal reports server for good! I was also told that if i wanted help setting this up then i would have to pay, thats not how things usually go when we download a trial of any software!
Anyway, rant over!!
Right, we have windows server 2008 and have installed crystal reports server 2008. So far all i have managed to get working is the reports themselves which run and schedule fine. The dashboard and business views are so confusing i just dont get it at all, the manuals dont help either becuase they are rubbish basically. But my first problem is trying to get windows AD authentication working! easier said than done. I have spent 4 days trying to get it working but nothing is happening. this is what i have done so far
Set up all the options in the CMC to enable AD authentication, mapped a few groups one of which i am a member of.
Then i setup the krb5.ini file like below (removed my server name and domain name)
[libdefaults]
    default_realm = DOMAIN.CO.UK
    dns_lookup_kdc = true
    dns_lookup_realm = true
    udp_preference_limit = 1
[realms]
DOMAIN.CO.UK = {
    kdc = DC.CO.UK
    default_domain = DOMAIN.CO.UK
i also have that other file bscLogin which looks like this...
com.businessobjects.security.jgss.initiate {
com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required;
The server inteligence agent has been set to use the same username as i specified in the CMC which is also the service principal name and the administartion name
i have set the web config file to use SecWINAD as default, i have also set it to give the option of enterprise, win ad etc in a drop down list
i have gone round in circles for days following the instructions, and nothing is happening
Also i dont see any usernames within the groups i have mapped , am i supposed to see any? am i supposed to add them manually?? if so, whats the point in that?
So now everytime i try to log in i get this error message
Account Information Not Recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again. If you are not a member of the default domain, enter your user name as UserName@DNS_DomainName, and then try again. (FWM 00006)
There is also another error message i get, which isnt coming up right now but it says somthing along the lines of could not authenticate at this time (FWM 00005)
i fail to see what im doing wrong. I shoudl also point out that the username i am using for everything is our own network admin password!
any ideas on things to check before we give up with this all together?

Hi Roberto,
With the changes when SAP took over BusinessObjects the support packaging also changed. It's the way it is now but we are moving to and giving as much options as we can. SAP works on the Self Serve practice. the info is available but you have to find it, which is another thing we are working on to improve for BOE/CRS.
Best place to start is in the CMS link off the start menu, You'll find the Admin Guide and Setup/Configuration Guides. You can also find all of the latest info and updates to those guides from help.sap.com then click on the SAP BusinessObjects tab along the top and then on the left click on All Products and then filter on your version.
Once the Firewalls and Domains and your CRS Server is added to the Trusted Domains and ports opened to allow CRS to talk to the DNS Server CRS will begin to load all of the users into it's User Mappings. You still have to add each user or Group of Users but they will be available. Documents does describe how to....
Once you have the Admin Guide search on Security and it explains in details how to set up and which ports need to be opened etc.
Thank you
Don

Error: 'bobj' is undefined - crystal report for VS2013 - please help ASAP

Currently we are trying to migrate from VS2008 to VS2013 and we installed Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 on a windows 7 laptop. All our crystal report programs are migrated to VS2013. I downloaded Crystal report Support Pack 10 (v. 13.0.10.1385) executable version and installed it. Then opened our old project (from vs2008) in VS2013 and it went through the conversion process. Later I opened each .rpt file and saved in VS2013 so that the crystal report files will be saved in the new format.
I am getting the Error: 'bobj' is undefined when I try to run the report. Am I using the correct service pack 10, or should I use service pack 9. I have read through all the posts related to this error in earlier version of VS. Is there any correct fixes for VS2013?
This is urgent, I am stuck with this error. please help??? Thank you.

The problem is, In the local system where DB exits the report generates fine.

We are using ODBC to connect the report. And if we give the correct password the report will generate
I have checked all your help file and sample code but solution not found. please help as soon as possible
Regards
Karthik

Hi Karthik,
Ensure the report is using the correct connection information. For example, the data source name, server name, database name, and user name are correct.
In a database-client test tool, ensure that the fields, tables, and procedures used by the report exist and that SQL queries can be executed against them.
In the Crystal Reports designer, verify that the SQL query, as shown under the Database menu Show SQL Query option, does not contain syntax errors.
If the SQL query shown in Crystal Reports is valid, execute the same SQL query through a database-client test tool.
Is report working fine in designer?
Which database connection are you using?

Help required in embedding flash file object into Crystal Report file.

Hello,
      I use the default version of Crystal Report (i.e.'Crystal Report Basic For Visual Studio 2008 - version 10.5' ) which is the part of 'Visual Studio 2008', to create and display the Report. Further, as a requirement, I have to show 'Event Video' into the Report. But, as this default version of Crystal Report does not support Flash File, I uninstalled it and downloaded and installed the 30 days trial version of the Crystal Report (i.e. Crystal Report 2008 - version 12.0).
      Then, I created a new Crystal Report File using 'Crystal Report 2008 Designer', embedded the video as a Flash File(i.e. SWF file) into it. Now, when I add this newly created Crystal Report File into my sample application, which is created using VS 2008, it does not shows the embedded video.
      So, can anybody please tell me, how can I embed the Flash File into Crystal Report, so that it will be visible in the sample application?
I would like to appreciate your help and support.
Thanks,
