How do i signon into crystal report XI with server signon Account

I have a signon account to connect to SQL Server 2005, but i cannot use the same signon account to signon into crystal report XI. Is there any special permissions that i need to set? But if i use the sa account for sql sever am able to signon without any error. What could be the problem.

Thank you for your fast response, i really appreciate that.
Am able to signon into the server in SQL 2005 with my signon credentials but cannot signon into the same server when am using crystal report. And for the connectivity, we are using OLE DB and not ODBC. Also, we've been using the sa account for a while now, it just last week that management decided we signon into crystal with our own signon credentials, which isn't working.

How to feed data into crystal reporte with "SQLQuery" method in c#?

Hi there,
I've an old app that was written in VB with some crystal reports from Crystal Report 7.
Now I need to upgrade this old app into c# with newer version of Crystal Report, so we decide to go for VS2010.
I can open the report template in the VS2010 without any problems.
But I'm running into some issue here:
the old report has multiple tables from a SQL db as the connection. Each table has a PK to each other.
and the VB code feed the data like below:
MainForm.CrystalReport(1).SQLQuery = SQLString
I couldn't find any reference for "SQLQuery" method in the C#, is there such command exist?
Thank you in advanced,

Thank you Ludek. Looking into the info you provided.

How do I create a crystal report layout with a table and borders

My crystal report is a signin sheet. The sign in sheet has an ID column, Name column, Institution column, Place to signin column, and Weekday columns with checkboxes in each column for the visitor to checkoff.
How do I display the data that is being used int he crystal report in a table layout with borders around each cell? And is it possible to center vertical alignment of the data within eacvh cell like Excel?

Blahahaha! Great answer Deb!
Seriously though... There is no vertical alignment in CR. There have been several past threads related to this issue and all of them have various workarounds. None of them are very elegant.
The best workaround I've found (especially if you are grid or borders) is to turn off the boarders for the field itself and drawl a rectangle around the field(s). Now you can place the field in the lower portion of the rectangle and adjust the rectangles height to place the field text in the center of the rectangle.
This will give you more control over the height of your elements than using a carriage return before the text.

BI 4.1 - How do you update a Crystal Report already on server?

We recently upgraded to SAP Business Intelligence 4.1 SP05. I have saved quite a few reports to the new server and began scheduling them to test how they will perform on the new server. They were saved by using the CMC - create the folder, right click on the folder, click Add, click Local Document, browse the network to find the Crystal Report to add.
My question is: Now that they are on the server, how will I update them with any changes that may need to be made to the Crystal Report?
In other words: So far, I can only find how to add new reports. How would I update a report that is already out on the server?
Seems like I should have been able to find this somewhere on the internet or users guide, but I just can't seem to find it. Beginning to feel like I've got the wrong idea on how this all works. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

"Now that they are on the server, how will I update them with any changes that may need to be made to the Crystal Report?" Supposed that you have newer version of Crystal Reports on the DEV environment, you'd need to use Promotion Manager; formerly LCM, to promote the updated version code to the PRODUCTION. Check out the Promotion Manager in the BI4.1 SP05 Administrator guide for detail. You can find most of BI4.1 documentations on http://help.sap.com/bobip41#section8.
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.

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.

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.

Second method i followed is

DUAL;

Hi,
Have you tried the 'get_value' function?..The syntax is
declare
l_dept number(5);
begin
l_dept := get_value('dept');
/* further process */
end;
where 'dept' is name of the bind variable.

How to incorporate ratio in Crystal Report?

Hi,
I am new in Crystal report and had no technical background.
I would like to know how to build ratio in crystal report? The draft layout as below:
                                              (RM)        %
Sales Revenue                        A           (A/A)*100
Cost of sales                           B            (B/A)*100
Where A and B are formula in crystal report.
Regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
Ratio is just a result by division. If you take one field over another as a denominator, you got your ratio.
Thanks,

You should go on a Crystal reports forum for your version of Visual Studio and Crystal reports probably.
SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio
