Help on report adjust and printing

I found it is very difficult to do the editing work in Report Layout Editor. Anybody who can give some experience on that. Thanks a lot! My problems are always making the frames overlap eachother, after I put them back to original position, they can not work properly! why? May I say it is no future for OracleReport tools?

Hi Yang,
Report Layout Editor is a powerful tool which allows you to build complex high-quality paper layouts. Unfortunately, with that power also comes some complexity, which may take some time to get used to, but is easy to work with later.
My advice would be - try to use the Report Wizard for a layout style that is similar to the kind you want, and then edit it in the report layout editor. In order to make life easier initially, you could
- choose any object in the layout editor, and use the button "Select Parent Frame" to go to the outermost frame, and expand it. you can do this for other parent frames as well just to see them more clearly and to distinguish them from the child objects
- select "Confine Off" and "Flex Off" so that you can work on expanding/reducing the size of individual objects without affecting the neighboring objects
If there is any kind of layout you are not able to make, you could also post it for a response on this Forum. Also, you might like to take a look at "Building Reports Manual" for some example reports,
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/reports/content.html
And the builder online help (also available at the above link).
My problems are always making the frames overlapPl let us know how you are making the frames, and what kind of layout you want, eg, tabular, matrix, etc.
Hope that helps,
Navneet.

Crystal Reports export and print fails with SSL / https but works with http

Windows 2008 Server, 32-bit (IIS7)
ASP.NET 2.0
Ajax 1.0
Crystal Reports version 10.5.3700.0
http: printing works, export works
https: printing not working, only export to MS Excel and MS Word work.
I am able to generate reports using both http and https, and the toolbar icons are all showing. However, I am unable to print or export properly with SSL.
Printing prompts me with a select printer window, and then a window 'Retrieving Page 1' follow by two messages from Crystal Print Control both stating:
A communication error occured. Printing will be stopped.
Exporting generates various errors depending on which export method is being selected (however Excel and Word work over https).
I've found the same problem on this site and other forums, but never a resolution to get exporting and printing to work with SSL. Will someone please provide me assistance or possibly relay what settings they're using if they have Crystal Reports export or printing working over SSL in IIS7? Everything works fine when I change the address from https to http.
Please let me know if I can help by providing further information. We've gone through a great deal of possible solutions with code and I'm currently looking in to IIS settings again.
Thank you.

Thanks Ludek. I got it by searching KB number.
Unfortunately, it didn’t fix my problem even my IE (IE8 and IE 9) has correct setting. I double check my version. PrintControl.CAB is version 10.2.0.1146. we use VS 2005 Crystal report and VB .NET. It works fine on HTTP. But when we use HTTPS (SSL Certificate from go daddy).
1: Crystal report export
            Export to MS Excel, Word: pop us “File download”, then click “Save”. It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
            Export to RPt, Rich text format: It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
            Export to PDF : nothing happened.
2: Print:
            Pop up dialog to select printer, click “Print” “. Shows windows “Crystal Report Viewer” and pop us error message box. Title is “Crystal Print Control”. Message is “An communication error occurred. Printing will be stopped”. Click “OK” and pop up error message box again.
Please advise.
Thank you very much!

Crystal Report viewing and Printing Issue

Hi Experts
I use crystal Reports for PO,AR Invoice,Delivery and many other documents.It takes more than 5 mins to view layout from crystal report and print sequence printing takes more than 10mins.Please Help me to rectify this issue..

Naresh Kumar

Hi Naresh,
What is your SAP version and Patch Level ?
I believe in new version this issue has been addressed by SAP. Also note SAP B1 8.81 PL 07 has some issues in crystal Report, it asks for SQL user id and password, SAP is aware of this issue. So if you plan upgrade to latest PL then ensure that Crystal report issue is resolved, otherwise you will be in trouble.

Report previews and prints with strange characters

I have a custom XI application which uses CCrystalReportViewer11 (C++ wrapper around ActiveX control) to preview reports. This works for hundreds of installations, but for one the text is displayed and printed with strange characters. If the customer exports the report the characters are displayed as normal. What could be wrong?

More than likely, it's a printer driver issue. It may even be that there is no default printer driver installed. Also, see if setting a different default printer driver helps. You can also set the "No Printer" option in the report by opening it in the designer and going to the File menu and selecting "Page Setup".

Report,Form and Printer.

hi all.
i am using DS.10g R2 and Database 11g R2 and i have two printers one shared printer and one default printer.
My Question is.. when i want to print report on Shared printer then i need to choose printer name from printer properties
and then print but when i print report on default printer so the printer is showing the Shared printer in
printer properties how can i set the Default printer always to show me in properties?

hi
for the default printer you have to check on Display report because i am not sure there
is any setup for this...Yes you can try to set one printer as default and another leave it as it as...
try to print on shared printer first and close the report
then try to print again to check the printer properties is set to default one or not?
hope this helps u..

Crystal Report Preview and Print error

Hi,
I am trying my first Crystal report in SAP; I have created one report using OITE table and run it in Crystal Designer without any problem; Then I added it to SAP / Manager Crystal Report / New Report, but I get the following error message when I click the Preview and Print button every time;
The file does exist and the location is setup correctly; I dont understand why SAP can not find the file; Any comments?
SAP Crystal AddOn
Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms, Version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
OK

Hi,
When you google on "[Could not load file or assembly CrystalDecisions|http://www.google.com/search?q=CouldnotloadfileorassemblyCrystalDecisions]" you will find quite some hits.
One that might be important for you could be http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vscrystalreports/thread/b0fc930f-5fc8-4475-bfe7-ad56616e838d/
That is depending on how the report is made.

Crystal Reports 2008 and printing with Zebra printer issue

Hello,
Since we have upgraded the reports from XI to 2008, the reports are not printing well in the Zebra printers.
The report gets shrunk to half the size.
Is there something that needs to be done after the upgrade?
Thanks in advance

Both, install it on your PC first and test. If all is well then build or use the various deployment packages available from our download site.
You may want to test this with a few reports also. Open the report and check off use Default printer and test other printer options. I don't know what options the QA team were using so it's best for you to test. If you don't have a Zebra printer ask one of your customers to do some testing for you.
According to Zebra Developers all their drivers are based on the same code so they should all work the same. Once you have one working they all should work using the same options.
Thank you
Don

Help regarindg country formatting and printer formatting in scripts

Hi all,
I'm facing a problem printing the address in SAPscript. Though we try to display the field T005-LAND1 within Address -endadress, the field T005T-LANDX50 gets displayed.
For example- when we want to display countrycode as NL(netherlands), only 'Kingdom of the Netherlands' is diplayed.
i believe this is because of the Country format used in the adress. Is there anyway we can change the country formating.
Also the output gets different alignment when we use differnt printers for preview. is there anyway to overcome this?
Your replies will be very helpful and thanks in advance.

hi,
this is quite natural that ur print preview and print out differs and it differs from printer to printer.so, u have to define the paper size correctly and check if possible the type of printer they will be usually using.
here in ur case r u trying to pring the country key or country name.
in fact u have to pick the country key and print the country name in that place by getting the name from check table.

Report preview and printing performance issues in CRXI R2

Hello to all,
We have successfully upgraded a corporate Web reporting site from CR8 to CRXI R2 Server SP3 VS2005 Asp2. Using managed reports, and native Oracle data access, performance has greatly improved. The CRXI site displays the first page in half the time as CR8. These are often very large reports.
The problem we are having is when you try to print, export, or just page thru a report in previewer. It takes as long to go to page 2, or to bring up the print dialog screen as it did for page 1 to display in the first place. This is drastically different from the performance on CR8. On the old site, when a report displayed, you could flip thru it like a Word document. Hardly any pause at all. Clicking on the printer icon brought up the print box immediately.
Is there a way to tell the 'CrystalReportsViewer' to load all pages before showing the first page?
If not, is anyone aware of a third party replacement for the CRV?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Joe Early

Hello Joseph,
What you're seeing is essentially expected behavior for a CR Server (BO Enterprise) based report. When you try to page through a report or print it you're basically rerunning the report on each button click.
To get around this behavior you can put your Report Object / InfoStore object into session and view, page, or print the session object from the viewer.
You can review [Business Objects Note 1203389|https://bcp.wdf.sap.corp/sap/sapnotes/display/0001203389] for an example with the Crystal Reports .NET SDK. You'll want to add check for the session on post back, etc. but the code should give you an idea of how to get started.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

OBIEE 11G help with report narrative and table view

Hi,
I have a report designed like the below, I have used "narrative view" for customer detail and "table view" for order detail. In the narrative view I can say row = 1 and it picks up the first record of the customer detail, but order detail shows all rows. How can I control it so the order detail shows only the detail record of the customer associated. Also how do I go to the second record and so forth. Please help. If this is not possible and if there are any alternates, please let me know. Thanks for your time and help.
Customer Number:
Customer Name:
Customer Address:
Order Detail:
Line number | Order No | Order description | Order Status

Customer Number:
Customer Name:
Customer Address:
Order Detail:
Line number | Order No | Order description | Order StatusWhy don't you do this?
1) Build a dashboard prompt for Customer Number. and save to a PV.
2) Build a report with all the columns for customer and order (in Criteria View) with a filter for the PV to capture the dashboard prompt.
3) Build a pivot table with Customer Number and Customer Name in the Rows section. Put the Customer Address in the Measures section and change the Aggregation Rule to Max.
This will serve as the summary table showing only the information of the customer selected.
2) Build Pivot Table:2 with the Order details.
3) In the Compound Layout, put Pivot table one on the top and Pivot Table:2 below it.
When a customer is selected, you will have the customer data with the order details under it for that customer only.

Help needed with MMAPI and print values to screen

Hi,
Using the RingToneConverter, I want to print out the values to the screen that the ring tone has. The values I want printed are actually any values at all! I am not picky at this point!
Can anyone help with this? I would like it so that while the ringtone is playing the the "simple player", the values are somewhere on screen appearing. Or even after the song is finished, the values come up on screen.

Help with Elements 12 and Print Studio

i have Elements 12 and cant get print studio supplied with my canon pixma pro 100 to install
can any one help ??

You messaged me (but please reply to the forum as it will help others with the same problem):
"print studio just keeps saying its not compatible with elements 12 or vice versa??".
Go to Canon's web site and download the latest verson and see if that works. It installed for me OK (not that it worked, as I don't have a compatible printer).
Cheers,
Neale

I would appreciate any pointers or workarounds to this issue at the earliest.

I don't think this is possible with 4i.
Have you considered upgrading to 10g R2?
Best wishes
