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..

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.

How is the best way to install the latest version of Crystal Reports 2008

I have been downloading for hours all the service packs, hot fixes, fix packs and chasing my tail for way too long on this.
I keep getting errors about a file being out of sequence.... I assume there is a very loooooong list of fixpacks that need to be applied!!!    This is such a nightmare.
Is there a simple way to just install the latest version of 2008 Crystal Reports?
If I have to follow a long sequence of updates, is it written down anywhere?
The reason for this in the firstplace is because I moved to Visual Studio 2010 with .Net 4.0 framework and now none of my crystal reports work.
I am using the full version of Crystal Reports 2008 installation, not the one built into Visual Studio
HELP!!!!!!

When I try installing SP2 it starts the update and just locks up... no errors... just sits there. I let it sit for about an hour.
Is it compatible with Windows 7 ?
When I tried installing a fixpack, I kept getting errors that a file was out of sequence.   I will try uninstalling all of Crystal and just reinstall in this order:
1. Crystal Reports 2008 from CD
2. Install Crystal Reports 2008 SP2
3. Install FixPack 2.6
This is what I tried the first time and got all the errors, but I will try it again...   is this correct?
(I don't need to install SP0 or SP1 or any other Fixpacks.... Correct?)

Hi Ashu
Please make sure the below information:
1. If you are getting this eror message while opening Crystal Reports 2008 or Xcelsius 2008.
2. If you are getting this error message for Crystal 2008, have you installed the Crystal Reports on a Citrix Server or a Terminal Server.
3. Search if the Citrix/Terminal Server that you are using is supported or not.(You can check in the CR 2008 Supported Platforms PDF).
Hope this helps!!!

Where can I find the latest upgrades for Crystal Reports 2008

Hello all
My question is rather simple, I need to know. Where can I find the latest upgrades for:
1) Crystal Reports 2008 Merge Modules
2) Crystal Reports 2008 Runtimes.
Are they incremental upgrades ????
Thanks in advance..
ADrián.-

Downloads page is here:
http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm
[This|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReports2008-VersionandDownloadinformationforSPsand+FPs] wiki tracks latest SPs and FPs with download links.
[This|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567] wiki has links to runtime (I believe I have not updated this for FP 2.5 yet, but the downloads page has these)
And yes, they are incremental.

Need to count the number of groups in a Crystal Reports 2008 report

I have created a report with three levels of grouping. There are several items in each level. I want to count the number of groups. I have tried countdistinct but it counts the number of items in the lowest level of grouping and I want the number of items in the higher levels. This is a distribution data base. I have the data grouped by date, by truck on each date, and by "run" or load on each truck on each date. I want to count the total number of groups of truck and run, which is the second level of the grouping. Any ideas? I am fairly new to Crystal.

Hi Debbie,
     To count the number of groups please try the folling steps:
1) Create a formula @reset and place this formula in the page header
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i:=0;
2) Create another formula @evalgroup place this in the group header where you want to count the values.
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i:= i+1;
3) Create another formula @display and place this in report footer.
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i;
In order to display the count of details which are printing in the detail section place the eval formula in the detail section and the @display formula in the group footer.
Hope this helps!!!

Vinay

Crystal Reports 2008; Can't select the certain table. Why?

Please help me everyone!
problem note:
I'm using Crystal Report 2008 to access MS SQL Server 2005 Database.
Everything was good until last month.
But somehow when I select the table "FTABLE11C", Crystal Repors hanging-up and no more Crystal Reports works.
If I copy the FTRAN11C to different name such as "aaa" using following statement and use Crystal Reports then I can select the "aaa" whthout problems.
Select * into aaa from FTRAN11C.
So, I drop the tbale FTRAN11C and copy FTRAN11C from aaa table using following statement,
select * into FTRAN11C from aaa
and select the FTRAN11C again on Crystal Reports 2008, Crystal Reports 2008 hanging-up again.
I'd like to know how to solve this situation.
Thanks.
1. We didn't have any patch on SQL Server.
2. I delete one field on table that named "FTRAN11C".
   That's all.
3. I tried following steps;
   a. Copy the file to another name.
        Select * into aaa from FTRAN11C
   b. Droped the bad table.
        Drop table FTRAN11C
   c. Copy back from saved table.
        Select * into FTRAN11C from aaa
4. Open Crystal Reports 2008
   a. Connect to database with OLD DB.
       Crystal Reports shows all the tables within database without any problems.
   b. Select the table aaa.
       No problems. It shows on right side box.
   c. Select the table FTRAN11C that is recently created from saved table.
       Now we have problems.
        It does not shows on right side box.
        Little circle displaying forever.
        If I click right side x, Crystal Reports 2008 is closed.
5. If I use following command on SQL Server Management Studio Express, all of data shows without any problems.
       Select * from FTRAN11C

Install all patches as you are on the original release:
Be sure you have the keycode, used to install the product, I will not be able to get you a new one if you lose it or don't have it available.
The easiest way to update is to uninstall CR 2008 and then install Service Pack 3 full build:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip
Then install SP 4:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
Then test your reports again.
As for using/upgrading to CR 2011 it's not required and likely won't make any difference but you can upgrade if you want of course.

Memory could no be read in Crystal Reports 2008

I'm getting the following error in Crystal Reports 2008 when I want to open the Format menu in the toolbar The moment Crystal Reports 2008 has just started (no report is loaded):
Crystal Reports: crw32.exe - Application Error
The Instruction at "0x00a1305d" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
The moment I click on the format menu a process SVCHOST has 100% CPU Usage for some moments and after a few seconds the errormessage appears.
I'm working on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Service Pack 2 with 2 CPU's and 3 GB of memory.
The version of Crystal Reports is an evaluation version with Service Pack 2 on it (version = 12.0.0.840).
When I install the same Crystal Report version on the client, the error doesn't occurs.
What could be wrong on the server.?

Please post this query to the Crystal Reports Design forum:

That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Thank you for your understanding,

Crystal reports 2008 SP1 missing in BusinessObjects Crystal Reports website

We have used Crystal reports 2008 as a reporting utility in our application and have released our product last year. During our release the latest software available was Crystal reports 2008 base + SP1 + SP2 + Fix Pack 2.7 and same was mentioned in our documentation as mentioned in BELOW.
The current supported version of Crystal Reports is Crystal Reports 2008 with
Service Pack 2 and Fixpack 2.7. The installation sequence is as follows:
1. Install Crystal Reports 2008 base.
2. Install Crystal Reports 2008 SP1.
3. Install Crystal Reports 2008 SP2.
4. Install Fixpack 2.7. This can be found under the hotfix section on the web site.
Questions
1) Now the issue is that, Crystal reports 2008 SP1 is NOT available for download in the "Business Objects u2013 Crystal Reports Runtime Packages". Why was it removed? Any clue? Without this our instructions doesn't hold good.
2) If Crystal reports 2008 SP1 will NOT be available any more then what is the equivalent installable for "Crystal reports 2008 base + SP1 + SP2 + Fix Pack 2.7" to be used? Can Crystalreports 2008 SP3 Full Build + Fix Pack 3.3 be used instead of "Crystal reports 2008 base + SP1 + SP2 + Fix Pack 2.7" ?
Pls Clarify.

Hello,
Download Service Pack 3.0 full build: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip
and then Fix Pack 3.3: https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100016815822010E/cr2008fp33.exe
Then you and your users don't need to go through all of those upgrade steps.
Thank you
Don

Error while trying to install Crystal Reports 2008 SP3

Has anyone else come across this error before when running the SP3 update installer;
Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Update is not allowed to install because a patch with a higher version was detected.
The installation then terminates. There has been nothing installed on this server to do with Crystal, aside from CR2008, SP1 and then the attempt at SP3.
ANY help appreciated
Edited by: Ludek Uher on Aug 18, 2010 2:07 PM

Priyanka,
I'm already extremely annoyed that a new server build requires installation of CR2008, then SP1 before SP3 will even allow installation. Adding SP2 into the mix just makes it seem like none of the developers tested anything (which I'm seeing from just about every software company I deal with these days).
Besides, the 'SAP Business Objects Support Software Downloads' page no longer lists SP1 or SP2 as available downloads, so I'm going to have to try Don's solution first.
Regards.

Crystal Reports 2008 sql image field stretches in report display

i have the full version of Crystal reports 2008 i run through a .net web form to display the reports. i have need to display logos which in resize mid stream before saving to the sq table. My problem is when i got to retrieve the images it looks like crystal is stretching them to fit. I can have horizontal or vertical images and i resize them to fit the smallest determined in the report. Another issue is the background turns black. The images appear to be "normal" outside of the report. Am i doing something wrong? Is there a setting i'm missing i need to config or something? I'm kind of lost i assumed as long as i stored the images in teh proper size they would diplay correctly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Are you seeing this behavior in the CR designer or in a .NET app?

Problems with consuming SAP BW WSDL in Crystal Reports 2008

Hello,
I am trying to use the WSDL generated from the SAP BW in Crystal Reports 2008 using the XML and Web Services driver, but when I input the WSDL url Crystal does not interpret the url passed in as a WSDL url and the Services, Port and Method drop downs are blank.
If I manually input the values I get the error below from Crystal
"Logon failed.
Details: Web Service Location is invalid
WSDL Exception (at /wsdl:definitions/wsdl:portType/wsp:Policy): faultCode=INVALID_WSDL:Encountered unexpected element
'Policy'."
I know this is a valid WSDL as I have tested it with Xcelsius 2008 and I am able to get data back in Xcelsius. I found SAP note 1485601 that talks about Crystal Reports not being able to reading a WSDL generated by a SAP system.
           https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap/support/notes/1485601
Based on the error message from Crystal above I feel that Crystal is unable to read the WSDL URL, has anyone else encountered this issue, if so is there a possible work around.
We are running Crystal Reports 2008 V1 SP3 FP 3 and the SAP Integration Kit is also on the same service pack and patch level.
Any help or insight into the issue will be very helpful.
Thanks,
Kumar

Ingo,
I am using the "XML and Web Services" connection option in Crystal Reports, and using a HTTP WSDL.Here is a sample of how WSDL url generated by SAP BW.
http://servername:8000/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/bndg_DF6E553E117931F19C6B001560A1B616/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=100
We have a two structure BW query (one for keyfigures and one as characteristic structure ), I know that this will cause the structure for the characteristics to show up as a single field and each element of the structure will result in a row of data, but we need the individual elements on the structure and we were hoping to get around the MDX driver limitation by using the web service connection.
The data in the Crystal Reports 2008 needs to be in a crosstab layout as shown below, but if we use the Crosstab expert the key figures are stacked one under the other and also we cannot get the labels from the KPI structure to show up on the Crystal Reports.
               Characteristic Structure
             Column1            Column2                     Column3
Label 1          KeyFigure 1          KeyFigure 2                    KeyFigure 3
Label 2          KeyFigure 1          KeyFigure 2                KeyFigure 3
Label 3          KeyFigure 1          KeyFigure 2                    KeyFigure 3
This layout is already built in a Web Template and therefore we were planning on using the WSDL to get the layout directly into Crystal report, but I keep running into the WSDL error when I try to consume the WSDL in Crystal.
Thanks,
Kumar
