How to add a field object to group header section in crystal report document?

Hi All, I have got two questions mentioned below, please share your inputs. 1)I want to know whether it is possible to add a field object to header section in crystal report document programmatically? I am using crystal runtime for visual studio. I know that using RAS we can do it, but I want to do it using managed library of crystal runtime. Please suggest. 2) I am doing a POC where I am using RAS (unmanaged library) to manipulated crystal report document. Please see code below: var dbTable = _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables[0]; var dbField = dbTable.DataFields.FindField(item.ColumnName, CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CrFieldDisplayNameTypeEnum.crFieldDisplayNameName, CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CeLocale.ceLocaleEnglishUS); CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject fieldObject = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObject(); fieldObject.DataSourceName = dbField.Name; fieldObject.FieldValueType = dbField.Type; var groupHeaderArea = _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportDefinition.GroupHeaderArea[0].Sections[i]; _reportDocument.ReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.Add(fieldObject, groupHeaderArea); In above code last line throwing exception : "The report field type is not valid." at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportObjectControllerClass.Add(ISCRReportObject ReportObject, Section Section, Int32 nIndex) Thanks, Jai

Hi Jaikumar
As per the SCN Rules of engagement, one question per thread please.
Re. your 1st question. Adding a field to a report is considered to be a report creation APIs (RCAPI). Only the RAS SDK has RCAPIs, so you can not use plain jane crystal APIs. For how to with RAS, see the examples here: NET RAS SDK Samples - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
Also, consult the Developer Help Files:
Report Application Server .NET SDK Developer Guide
Report Application Server .NET API Guide
Re. your second question, please create a new discussion.

How to add custom buttons in the tool bar of the crystal reports viewer

Hi,
I'm using Crystal report viewer (Crystal 2008) in my report and I want to add custom buttons and handle them in the tool bar of the viewer. Is there anyway to achieve this?
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance.
Siva.

I did this by adding a picturebox to the toolbar, the same size as the buttons, and loading in an image, and putting code into the Click event of the picturebox.
I also put code into the MouseHover event to change the picture's background color and into the MouseLeave event to change it back.
I have a couple of these buttons. They work very nicely and really look like part of the toolbar.

How to remove suppressed items in the group tree from the crystal report print preview screen

I am removing items in report using group selection formula. Although the removed items are not available in the report, they are still available in the group navigation tree on the left pane. Is there a way to overcome this ?

Hi All,
How can i use the below group selection code in record selection.
TotalQuantity := sum({ICIVAL.QUANTITY},{ICIVAL.ITEMNO});
TotalCost := sum({ICIVAL.TRANSCOST},{ICIVAL.ITEMNO});
iIncludeQty := TONUMBER({?INCLUDEQTY});
iIncludeCost := TONUMBER({?INCLUDECOST});
bIncludeQty := FALSE;
bIncludeCost := FALSE;
SELECT iIncludeQty
    CASE 0:
        bIncludeQty := TRUE
    CASE 1:
        If TotalQuantity > 0 THEN
            bIncludeQty := TRUE
    CASE 2:
        If TotalQuantity = 0 Then
            bIncludeQty := TRUE
    CASE 3:
        If TotalQuantity < 0 THEN
            bIncludeQty := TRUE
    CASE 4:

Can Grow Fields in Group Header Section Overlap

Does anyone know of a size limitation to can grow fields on a group header section?   I have 2 fields in a group header section of my report. They are defined as varchar(3000) and varchar(6000).   However, on my test case, the contents of each has lengths of 1,113 and 572 respectively.   The fields are listed vertically in the group.   The one that's listed on top, overlaps the one on the bottom.
   field_varchar(3000)
field_varchar(6000)
Thanks in advance for any help or information you can provide.

Thank you SO MUCH!   That worked!!   I should've thought of that myself - but I'm pretty new to Crystal.

How to implement the Oracle Group by function in Crystal reports?

Hi all,
In SQL, for example we have a group function like:
select district,state, country, continent, sum(no.of people) from world.
Now, How to implement this group function in crystal reports? Please advise.
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
sriram

Hi Vinay,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
In one of our report, we are supposed to perform group by for 14 columns to get sum of 3 columns and there by displaying 17 columns in the report.
When we tried in crystal reports to implement this oracle group by functionality:
1. We created 14 groups from the Insert->Group option.
2. By performing this, we got 14 group sections vertically(one inside the other).
3. Then we created the sum(15th column),sum(16th column), sum(17th column) by Insert->Summary option.
4. We suppresed all the group sections except for the last group.
5. Then, dragged all the groups to the last group section along with the summary fields.
This is how, we tried to acheive the oracle group by function in Crystal reports.
Please advise, whether our approach is right. If not, please suggest the appropriate approach with a bit detailed explanation.
Thanks,
Sriram.

How to add new fields in asset master data

Hello,
i was wonder if anyone knows how to add new fields that arent defined in the asset master data.
Thanks.
Pedro

Hi Pedro,
SAP allows entering upto 8 fields on the asset master. These fields are called 'Evaluation group'. Out of 8, 4 are four character long and others are 8 character long.
You can configure them @ the following 3 nodes in IMG:
Financial Accounting>Asset Accounting>Master Data-->User Fields: Define 4-Character Evaluation Groups & Define 8-Character Evaluation Groups & Change Key Words in the Evaluation Groups.

Getting Error like "only one name can be entered,and the name cannot contain a semicolon.Enter a valid name"

Try right clicking on the policy and then edit

the correct option also "From this Location" is set to your entire directory not the local server.

How to add more fields at level task for importing to MsProject

Hi everyone,
We would like to have the same number of fields either for importing as exporting; or at least, the fields that we need.
The problem is when we are configurating the fields for exporting from cProjects to MsProject, we found 81 available fields and then we don't find the same amount for importing (34). So, in some cases we don't find fields which were configurated for exporting and it is no posible to upload the information back because the field is no available for importing.
Does anyone knows how to add more fields for importing at the cProjects side?
Thanks a lot,
CAMILO URIBE

Some fields can not be migrated because of MsProject designe. The above is the reason why cProjects' customizing does not offer the
mapping of the same nuember of fields.

How to Add parameter fields in BI publisher fields

Hi,
I'm creating xml report for Apps standard Trial Balance Summary, here i cant able to run the .rdf locally due to SRW.UserExit .
So i got the XML file from output of the report.
Then i added the xml data in BI publisher and then i have created the .rtf for that.
Here i need to add some fields which is not available in fields list (in BI Publisher).
How to add that fields, or is possible to add fields manually.
That fields are given as parameters while running the .rdf file.
Please tell me how to solve this problem.
Is possible to add fields manually means tell me how to do that.

If those fields are input parameters to the concurrent program then you can display them in RTF by declaring and printing it as
<?param@begin:P_CONC_PARAM?>
and display it as <?$P_CONC_PARAM?> - Note P_CONC_PARAM should match your parameter token

How to add new fields in Reduced message ( in BD53 )

Hi Experts,
How to add new fields in Reduced message ( in BD53 ), when the required field iis available in Table or Structure and need to be added in BD53 so that we can ALE.
Thanks,
Ninad

Hello,
I think of something like:
First, you create extension, with transaction WE30.
Then, reduce your idoc, your extension should also be proposed.
Do not forget to add this extension in outbound we82, and/or we57 in inbound, and WE20, and find BTE or exit to populate extension.
