  • Localization of text objects in Crystal Report RPT file

    Dear all,
    Does anyone know how support multiple locale text (English and French) in one single Crystal Report RPT file.  Is there a way to parameterize  text objects (including tiles, axis,  of chart) in the Crystal Report RPT files to use some sort of locale resource file containing text string for different languages based on the users of RPT at runtime? The idea is to use one single RPT file to generate report for different locale text instead of creating RPT file per locale. For example, inserting a text object  in RPT file and it has text "Welcome" in English and use the same RPT file and parameterize that text object's text with a resource file and the text of that object will retrieve the proper localized text from that resource file at runtime based on the user's locale setting.

    Easiest way is to place duplicate copies of charts in split sections.
    If you have a chart in a group footer, split into two sections place English chart in one and french in the other.
    In section expert suppress section based on language field in database. You can do same with Text box or you can over lay two text boxes one in english one in French and then format text box to suppress depending on language. Looks really messy in designer but will be fine in Preview.

  • Localization of CrossTab row and column label Crystal Report RPT file

    Dear all,
    Does anyone know how to support multiple locale texts (English and French) in CrossTab Row and Column Header labels and grand total labels? Is there a way to parameterize text objects CrossTab in one single Crystal Report RPT file to use some sort of locale resource file containing text string for different languages based on the users of RPT at runtime? The idea is to use one single RPT file to generate report for different locale text for CrossTab Row and Column abels and grand total labels  instead of creating RPT files per locale?

    Hi,
    Does the database have a column that identifies the language? If it does, then you could create two separate cross-tabs and place them in different sections and conditionally suppress the section depending on the language from the database.
    That's the only thing that can be done in my opinion.

  • Crystal report rpt file import error.

    Hi,
    when iam  importing rpt file after updating it's showing system message This  SQL transaction has completed,it is no longer usable. and it's showing operation sucessfully completed but it's not showing in manage crystal reprots list.plaese help me how we can show reports when we impoer new rpt files.
    regds,
    sampath.

    I think, at the best what you can do is password protect the report to isolate it from any changes being made.
    Go to File>>Report Options and check the 'Save lock report design' check mark.You will be prompted for a password and then the report is safe from any undesired modifications.
    Unless a valid/correct password is provided,users will not be able to make any changes in the report,however they will be able to open/view it.
    Thanks

  • Support for older Crystal Reports .rpt files in BOE XI 3.1

    Does anyone know how far back you can go with Crystal Reports objects in BOE XI 3.1? In other words, what's the oldest version of Crystal .rpts that are supported in BOE XI 3.1? Can you run Crystal Reports 9 .rpt files? I'm trying to keep from having to update around 4-5 thousand older .rpts files for an upgrade to BOE XI 3.1.
    If we have to do a mass upgrade to CR 2008, what's the best way to do that?
    Edited by: Michael Garrett on Aug 23, 2011 4:46 PM

    Hi,
    from an upgrade perspective you can upgrade from CE9 to XI 3.1. Check
    https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001646952008E/xi3-1_bip_upgrade_en.pdf
    (S-User needed)
    Do you have a running CE9 installation? If yes i would recommend upgrading this to XI 3.1 as described in the Guide. Or have you these "4-5 thousand" CR9 documents local on a file location?
    Regards
    -Seb.

  • How to publish a Crystal Report in Business One

    Hi
    Please can anyone tell me how I publish a Crystal report (which is now inbuilt in SAP B1) so it is available to all users?  I have full administrator/manager user rights. I have so far created the report and saved it to my SAP server machine on it's C:drive.
    Thank you very much for any help and info.
    Matt

    Hi, I worked out how to do it. I had to first enable the Crystal Add on from within SAP and then open the Crystal Reports Administration menu under Administration and then select "Manage Crystal Reports". From there you can browse to the report you have created and select the module for where you want it to appear under in SAP.

  • How does a PowerBuilder 12.6 program invoke a Crystal Report 2013 file (rpt)?

    Background:
    We have been trying to find a solution how to invoke Crystal Reports file (.rpt) from Powerbuilder 12.6.
    From the various forum discussions, it seems that the Crystal Viewer OLE control has been deprecated in Crystal Reports 2013.
    What methods are available to invoke Crystal Reports 2013 rpt files from Powerbuilder 12.6, if any?
    What methods are available to invoke Crystal Reports 2013 rpt files from other platforms, e.g, C++, .NET, Java, etc.?
    Please post a solution or suggestion to accomplish this.
    Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much.
    Lenny

    Hi Leonard;
      You might want to ask this question as well in the CR Forum as SAP now owns that product as well.  I am sure that Delhi, VB, etc developers must also need to know.

    You will have to use the Crystal Reports Report Designer Component (craxdrt.dll). Before you do however, it may be good to know that CR XI r2 is the last version of CR that includes the craxdrt.dll as this is considered to be a retired technology in CR 2008. This may impact your efforts as the life cycle of the app may be limited(?).
    Here is a link to more details of the  RDC lifecycle:

  • How to Call a Crystal Report from Form 6i?

    Dear All,
    Can anybody tell me how to call a crystal report, designed using Crystal Report 9, in form 6i? I tried one solution by using the host command but it was not working properly. The code I was tried is like:
         f_name varchar2(240);
         f_name :='C:\Program Files\Crystal Decisions\Crystal Reports 9\crw32.exe D:\Form16\Form16_Rep\bin\Debug\Form_16_character_emp.rpt';
                   host(f_name);
    This open the crystal report in design view. So how we call a report which run automatically like in .Net. How to pass the connection info of the database schema?
    Thanks & Regards
    Sunil

    Hi
    First see the built in run_product function.
    You can create a parameter list, add the
    "MAXIMIZE" paramter in it and then call your
    report with run_product passing your parameter list in it.
    hence the called report will be maximized.

  • Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

    Post Author: markeyjd2
    CA Forum: Exporting
    Greetings forum members,
    My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
    In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records.  When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
    What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record.  The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
    Is this possible?

    Post Author: Micha
    CA Forum: Exporting
    Hi,
    you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
    Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
    First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
      oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
    Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.
