How do I install / access / find Crystal Reports Repository for B1 8.81?

What are we attempting to connect to when we try to login to the Repository from Crystal Reports for B1? Is there server software we need to install? Buy? It's supposed to be a simple Access DB from all the CR 9.0 documentation we've read which seems to be the last documentation about this. Something that useful should definitely come with CR. Why can't we find any documentation on enabling or installing the Repository?

Hi,
it is a separate software, a part of the CR server.
It's not free for SBO as CR is.
More info [HERE|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/information-infrastructure/sapcrystalserver/index.epx]
And as far as i know your not allowed to use CR for SBO to use the repository, you'll probably will also need a full CR licence.
If you are a VAR, probably a VAR evaluation version is available somewhere.

sorry for asking, but your answer is ment to answer this topic? as it seems non relevant

Hi Neetu,
Do you wish that at all customer site all concern involved in implemtation do the same work ?
I believe ERP is meant for single entry system, and it should be true for implementation also, why to invest man hours for the same task ?
I expect it standard reports should be released by SAP, so that speed of implementation improve, we have more nos. of satisfied customers.
customised reports is all together different and it is understood that it is needed to be developed after study the exact requirement.

Keycode missing in Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008

I just upgraded from Visual Studio 2005 Professional to Visual Studio 2008 Professional (with SP1 installed also). Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 is listed as installed under the VS Help dialog, but no key code is shown. And when I attempt to open a Crystal Report, I get a dialog saying 'Please wait while Windows configures Crystal Reports Basic', which eventually terminates with an 'Invalid Keycode' message.
I've tried repairing the Visual Studio install, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the whole thing. To no avail.
Other facts: My VS 2005 version still works with its version of Crystal Reports. I am running Vista Professional. Looking in the registry, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Crystal Decisions | Crystal Reports | VSNET | Keycodes | CR9 NET, I see a Type REG_SZ with a data value in the form xxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [6 chars-7 chars-26 chars].
Help! How do I get Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 to work?

Hi Elaine,
Thanks for your response. I do have versions of Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Studio 2005 on my machine, and the earlier versions of Crystal Reports worked with these versions. In addition to the registry key I cited earlier (which I now understand is a VS 2003 version), there is an entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Crystal Decisions | Crystal Reports | 10.2 | Crystal Reports | KeyCodes | CR Ent. I see that you are correct, and this corresponds to my VS 2005 installation (which still works). However, there is NO entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Crystal Decisions | Crystal Reports | 10.5 (the CR Basic for Visual Studio 2008 path you indicated). There is an entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Business Objects | 10.5 | Crystal Reports, but it has only keys for ChartSupportPath, CommonFiles, DisablecheckForUpdates, and Path.
The Windows\assembly folder has 25 files that are CrystalDecisions.xxx, version 10.5.3700.0. This is consistent with my seeing 'Crystal Reports' listed as installed in VS 2008 Help. But no KeyCode!
I tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of VS 2008, without luck. I can't clean my system of earlier verions of Crystal Reports, because I am still supporting a body of work that I did under VS 2005, and I can't convert all this stuff to 2008 -- at least until I have a fully working VS 2008 suite. After this experience, I fear that if I were to uninstall an earlier version, i might never get it back!
I've spend quite a few hours on this with no luck, so any help would be enormously appreciated.

How to hardcode date(s) in Crystal Reports?

Post Author: Vishy
CA Forum: Formula
Hi,
Any one have any idea about, how to hardcode the date(s) in Crystal Reports?
For example, I want hardcode the US holidays in my Crystal Report.
I am using Version 9.0.
Your immediate help is greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Vishy

Post Author: chantilly
CA Forum: Formula
Not sure I'm the best person to answer because I seem to be experimenting in my own inexperience. What I would try first would be to create variables for each of the holidays and pull them into the report. Such as
dateVar Christmas := Date (2007, 12, 25);Christmas
I think you can then perform more calculations on it, such as to find how many days etc.

How Web intelligence is differ from Crystal reports

How Web intelligence is differ from Crystal reports

it depends on what's the business requirement that will influence what kind of reporting format you want to use.
to list few differences:
1. CR more suitable for complex reports webi used more for general adhoc tor quick reporting.
2. CR can be published to enterprise or can be saved to the disk and can be accessed using crystal reports SDK: CRJ or CR.NET. Where as webi is strictly accesses only via Enterprise. There are no webi SDKs for accessing webi reports in unmanaged ( not published to enterprise) mode.
3. CR SDK\ RAS more powerful than Report Engine SDK( used for webi)
4. To view a CR you can use page server and cache server. To view a webi report, you use only webi processing server, no cache server available in BO framework. Similar for scheduling webi reports its the webi processing server that does it all.
5. CR offers more options to connect to database than for webi.
6. CR has mutliple 3rd party exporting formats. Webi has fewer.
7. CR can be designed from CR designer desktop tool, or CR.com or on demand or using RAS SDK ( at runtime). Webi report can be designed in webi rich client desktop tool or java reporting panel( JRP) available in Infoview or any app that can load this JRP applet. in 3.1 you can use Java Report Engine SDK to create webi report from scratch at runtime ( like RAS for CR).
So not that 1 is better than other, it really depends on your business requirements are.

Installing crystal reports 9 for the first time

Hi,
I am trying to install Crystal Reports 9 for the first time. We just received a package with 4 envelopes including Crystal Reports 9 Advanced, Standard, Professional, and Developer. Each envelope also includes Crystal Enterprise Report Appliation Server which I don't think I need (or I'm not sure). I have read a little bit on how I can go online to the SAP Service Marketplace and request license keys. I have not requested a permanent license key yet. I believe that I can install Crystal with a temporary key and then input the permanent key later. What I have done is insert the installation CD for Crystal Reports 9 Developer and then input the product key code found on the back of the Crystal Enterprise Report Application Server CD cover that was packaged with the Crystal Reports 9 Developer CD. However I get a message saying that the product key code is not valid or has expired. There is no product key code on the cover for the Crystal Reports 9 Developer CD but there is one on the Crystal Enterprise Report Application Server CD cover so that is why I input it.
Why is this key code expired? Please note that I am installing on a test PC before I install on the PC of the user who will be using Crystal for work purposes. Therefore I wanted to just install with a temporary key if there is such a thing at this time.
thanks
JW

Hi Josh,
I would like to add few things with above suggestion
For a new key code :
Request key codes for new orders via SAP Marketplace (SMP), will receive a download letter on new purchases providing them with their SMP login credentials. Using these credentials you can login and click in the "Keys & Requests" tab > Request a License key .
If your existing Key code does not work :
You need create a customer message [https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/message] using component XX-SER-LIKEY-BOJ .
Hope this helps,

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.

What I want is to have image files saved on a local drive and the images to be loaded into a picute/image frame based on a certain condition - same way it's (easily) done with VB.Net or ASP.Net image objects.
Can you help?

Not in Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008. You'll have to upgrade to CR 2008 (12.x). Then use kbase [1320507|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] as a guide on how to do this.

How to center the content in crystal report viewer in code?
Edited by: Mathew_666 on Oct 6, 2011 5:20 AM

Since there is no control for center you'll need to do the math on your own. This is just a rough draft, but you'll get the idea.
One of the things you'll need to figure out is your buffer to help you give a centered feel. We'll say that value is 50 in this case.
Height
int buffer = 50;
int formHeight = 1000; // we'll assume a height of 1000 in this case
int crystalTop = buffer;
int crystalViewerHeight = formHeight - (buffer * 2); // buffer is at the top and bottom
Width
int formWidth = 1000; // we'll assume a width of 1000 in this case
int crystalLeft = buffer;
int crystalViewerWidth = formWidth - (buffer * 2); // buffer is at the top and bottom

How can I give access to a new user for WebView Reporting Log In //IPCC Enterprise

Hi All,
How can I give access to a new user for the WebView Reporting Log In ?

Thanks
Andres

Two options: 1. In configuration manager on the AW, use the user list tool to add the users domain account and select Webview access permissions. 2. Using standard Microsoft Active Directory tools or the Cisco Domain Manager tool, add the desired AD user account into one of the "WebView" security groups created within the Cisco OU.

I can't find Crystal report on SAP 8.8 menu bar ?

I am trying SAP 8.8 demo. Where is Crystal report on SAP 8.8 ? I can't find Crystal report on SAP 8.8 menu bar ? anybody told me location of crystal report on menu bar ?

Hi,
There is no option anywhere in SBO8.8 as "Crystal report" if you want to use it go to windows start ->program files->SAP Business One you can see there Crystal Report 2008 menu. Once you designed your report in Crystal then you can import it in SBO 8.8 through "Report and Layout Manager" in Administration -> Setup -> General. You can not open Crystal directly from SBO.
Thanks

How generate a crystal reports layout for Batch Report

Dear Experts,
I want to create a crystal reports layout for Batch Report that appears when printing Delivery Note.
I've tried using DocKey@ token but it only works in the delivery note layout itself. The following code at the select expert for this crystal layout doesn't work:
{ODLN.DocEntry} = {?DocKey@}
Kindly guide me in the above issue. Thanks.

I am using version 8.8 SP.00 PL.10
It is very strange that I cannot get the layout connected to the database as I have followed the same steps for all layouts. It all works fine until I get to the invoice stage and then I cannot make the connection.
(I dont need to worry about the sales invoice as this was provided at installation point by our vendor)

Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010 Problem

Dear all,
I encounter a problem after installed the crystal report version for Visual Studio 2010. Once I call
                       ReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1,False, 0, 0)
The error message prompt:
Report is unavailable(Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name:index)
If I try
                         ReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1,False, 1, 1)
It can print the 1st page of the report.
I also try to create a simple report. It works.
After installed this version, my reports also encounter the same problem in Visual Studio 2008.
My report has sub-reports. My PC is Windows XP.
Anybody has idea on this issue!?

Now you can set the various printer options using the PrintOutputController. I'm using a UI box to select the printer but your developer should be able to figure this out. If not you can include him in the e-mail, it would be fine to go direct. Of course you will stay in the thread:
     private void btnSetPrinter_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
          System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument pDoc = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptions rasPROpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptionsClass();
          // Use the next line if you need to, you'll ahve to test. Depends on how the reports were saved.
            //CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.PrintOptions.DissociatePageSizeAndPrinterPaperSize = true;
            //CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ISCRPrintOptions.DissociatePageSizeAndPrinterPaperSize = true;
            //pDoc.DefaultPageSettings = pgSettings;
            PrintDialog dlg = new PrintDialog();
            dlg.Document = pDoc;
            if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.Cancel)
                MessageBox.Show("Cancel Button clicked", "RAS", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
                return;
            else
                CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions MYPRTOpts = new PrintOptionsClass();
                if (rdoCurrent.Checked)
                    pDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
               // the next 3 lines may not be necessary.
                    MYPRTOpts.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
                    MYPRTOpts.PaperSize = (CrPaperSizeEnum)
                        pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes[cboCurrentPaperSizes.SelectedIndex].Kind;

                        pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSources[cboCurrentPaperTrays.SelectedIndex].Kind;
                    MYPRTOpts.PaperOrientation = CrPaperOrientationEnum.crPaperOrientationLandscape;
