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,
-Yogesh.

Symptom :
When embedding a pdf document into a Crystal Report, only the one page shows.
Reproducing the Issue

An OLE object only displays the first page.

Or
Use a hyperlink to the object instead
Hope this helps!

Indeed, you are in the wrong forum, reducing your chances to get a good answer...
You are in the JavaFX forum, which is only remotely related to Flash and quite far from PDF...

Free Charecterstics of Bex not replicating into Crystal Report

Hi Experts,
I am having a strange problem....or may b i am missing some basic here,
We are trying to build a Crystal Report on a Bex Query which consists of some Free Characteristics and a single object in the rows, where as in the columns we are having 2 structure on which consists of Selection Key Figures restricted based on Characteristic Variables with Processing type SAP Exit.
Now wen i am trying to build a Crystal Report on this Query directly from Blank Report Wizard, i am not getting the free characteristics and Row object into the report but i am able to get the Structure values as measures.
Wen i am trying to build the report directly from the SAP tab of Crystal Reports, i am able to c the Free Characteristics and Row Object but getting all the selection Based Key Figures in a single entity on the name of the structure. Due to this wen i am using this in Crystal Report all the Column values are embedded into a single column, which is not desirable.
Please help,
Thanks & Regards,

No link to the local .avi files after exporting Crystal report as .pdf

Hello all,
The overall scenario is like-
My application fires a query on SQL Server database and result of that query is stored in a Dataset. This dataset is set as a datasource to the Crystal report. Now some, records (returned by the query) have .avi files(i.e. Event Videos which are stored on the local hard disk) associated with them. I have stored these .avi files in a specific path on local Hard disk say "C:/EventVideos/*.avi" .   I used a special format in these avi files name. (like - "EventVideo_1.avi" (This is for 1st event), "EventVideo_5.avi" (This is for 5th event)etc. to identify which avi is for which event. All events do not have avi files associated with them)
      Now, I take one Text Object in crystal report. Using it's Format editor created a formula for hyperlink as -
      "file:///c:/EventVideos/EventVideo_" + {DataTable1.EventID} + ".avi" .
EventID is the field of dataset which has ID's (like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 etc) of all resulted events. It is of a String data type.
     Now when I export, my report as .xls, .rtf, .doc, I can open the avi files. When I bring cursor on this Text Object, cursor get change to Hand and after click on it avi file start to play.
     But if I export it as .pdf, it does not contain the link for avi files. When I bring cursor on this Text Object , it does not change to Hand, and after click on it nothing happens. No video play.
I stick to this problem. What should be done in this case?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

Overwrite crystal report file name with new version but keep history

I am writing a Crystal Reports .NET SDK in C# code to upload a crystal report files from its destination to CMC folder on BO XI R2 Platform.
On "Upload Button" click_event, validate the two check boxes controls named "Keep History", and "Remove History". Once "Keep History" check box is selected, check If the SAME report file name exists in the same destination CMC folder, if Yes, overwrite it BUT Keep the History and all its associated objects like "recurring objects". If "Remove History" is selected, then remove the existing report and upload the new report file name.
Please provide me some codes on how to do this task. This is definitely a "WIN" - "WIN" effort and contribution to my Team Goals.
P.S. This is a similar scenario when you are uploading report on BO Enterprise R2 CMC.
When Uploading a new report to a folder but same report file name exists, the BO System will promt message "Report File Name" already exists. Do you want to Overwrite it?" If Yes, then system will overwrite the file but it will keep the history and recurring objects.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bien

Creating crystal report file dynamically.

CA Forum: General
Hi, everybody.
I have one problem.
How to create crystal report file(*.rpt) in php dynamically.
I mean, I want to create the "*.rpt" file with php code.
Please help me. thanks everybody.

Post Author: PWilkens
CA Forum: General
It sounds like you're defeating the power and purpose of Crystal Reports, or replace it with pure PHP (which I suppose could be done... but why?)
What exactly are you trying to do?
If you're trying to make certain parts of the report hide or reveal or change depending on variables settings in the PHP file, that's easy enough to accomplish by sending parameters with your PHP values into the report. But the dynamic actions really need to be done within the report itself, accomplished through ample use of the section and field settings provided within the Report Designer.

Crystal report files created, but why not all?

I am using several (total 19) Crystal report files (*.rpt) in my project as report or subreport. When I delete these rpt files under my "...\bin\Debug" folder and run the application I see that some (exactly 14) of them are automatically retrieved back into the "...\bin\Debug" folder.
But there are several other reports (remaining 5 of them) I also want them to be created at the application start. I have debugged the application from tha main entrance and saw that the rpt files are generated even the first line of code is executed. Also checked my "App.config" file (where I hold the paths for these report originals) and added the most recently created report that is not retrieved into the file, but the file is not retrieved.
I have also checked the contents of "XXXXX.exe" (XML Configuration file), "XXXXX.vshost.exe" (XML Configuration file) under "...\bin\Debug" folder and "XXXXX" (Microsoft Visual Studio Solution), "XXXXX" (Microsoft Visual Studio Project file), "XXXXX.csproj" (Visual Studio Project User Options file), "XXXXX" (XML Configuration file) under the project folder but I still can not figure out how the Visual Studio determines which ones to retrieve and leave others
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards.

This could be related to the Build Action property for the .rpt file. Compare the settings for this property to see if the files that are not copied have a different setting.

Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports?

Hi Friends,
Can anyone send me a Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports? Pls help me. Thanks in Advance.
Vijay

It's also important to 'prep' the excel file prior to connecting to it.
Give the data tab a meaningful name
Make sure the column headers are unique and that every column has a header
Delete any blank tabs
If you have trouble with Excel changing the data type of a field (say, a social security number you want to be a string value rather than a number so you don't lose leading zero) an alternative would be to save the spreadsheet file as a CSV, create a schema.ini to specify the data types for each column (example below) and use the same steps to connect except instead of choosing Excel 8.0, scroll to the bottom and choose Text. You have to make sure the CSV file is in the same folder as the schema.ini file that defines the columns.
Schema.ini example:
200912PUSD.csv
ColNameHeader=True
Format=CSVDelimited
MaxScanRows=25
CharacterSet=OEM
Col1=SSN Char Width 9
Col2=LAST_NM Char Width 25
Col3=FIRST_NM Char Width 25
Col4=DOB Date
Col5=STDNT_ID Char Width 10
Col6=SORTKEY Char Width 10
Col7=SCHOOL_NM Char Width 30
Col8=OTHER_ID Integer
Col9=GRADE Char Width 2
The filename in the first line needs to have the [] brackets around it, but I couldn't get it to display in this forum correctly.

Convert abap reports into crystal reports

Hi,
We are trying to convert abap reports into crystal reports.We could convert these reports into XML files
Now we want to create utility which will automate the conversion of XML files into RPT files of crystal reports.Later on we can refresh the data in reports by changing the datasource location.
Can you please guide us whether it is possible and if yes how should we go about it?

Hi, i suggest, 2 technies to do this, the first one, you can use,
CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE
EXPORTING
    APPLICATION            = 'C:\Program Files\crystalreports.exe'
EXCEPTIONS
    CNTL_ERROR             = 1
    ERROR_NO_GUI           = 2
    BAD_PARAMETER          = 3
    FILE_NOT_FOUND         = 4
    PATH_NOT_FOUND         = 5
    FILE_EXTENSION_UNKNOWN = 6
    ERROR_EXECUTE_FAILED   = 7
    SYNCHRONOUS_FAILED     = 8
    NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI   = 9
    OTHERS                 = 10.
where, exe file could be, a crviewer.exe, and, use a parameters ( on exe ) to indicate rpt file, or, define of standar mode, a generic name and put, xml file generated via abap, on a repository, this way, rpt file, when launched, displaying file.
the second choice, could be, go SM69, click create. enter a command name 'ZCREXE', enter the path and the exe file name in operating system command field. You can call this exe from ABAP using SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.
i hope so that my answers help you.
greetings.
