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 to optimize the performance of crystal report?

Hi,
-I have to design a crystal report with best possible optimization. Optimization is main concern since report will run against 1-2 million data set. Though I am using parameter to fetch only the required data, required data can go till 1 million records.
-Based on the input passed by the user I have to group the data in report. And for each selected parameter the Detail section I am printing is different. For example:-If user selects store then detail section is different and if user select Host then detail section will be different.
-Report can be grouped by Time Field also. So to full fill this requirement I would have to create a sub report since other parameters are of string type and can be used in one formula to get parameter based grouping in report. However If I try to return Time filed from the same formula I get the errors the "Return type should be of String typeu201D. This forces me to create sub report for Time based grouping. If user selects Time Field to be grouped on, all the information in the main report gets suppressed and only the sub report gets printed.
If user select store, Host and User in parameter to be grouped on, sub report gets suppressed.
Now with the above mentioned points I tried to optimize the report in following way.
-Printing 1 million records in the report does not make sense; hence we wanted to show the summary of all the records in chart section but wanted to print just 5000 records in detailed section. Suppressing detailed section after 5000 records does not help much since suppressing just saves the time in printing and does not limit the number of records to be fetched from the DB.I have a subreport also so it fetches the data 2 times from the DB hence makes the performance of the report worse.
To solve this problem I used command object and put the charts in the subreport and detail in main report.
In main report's Command Object I limited the number to records to be fetched from the DB to 5000 using rownum<5000 but in subreport's Command Object I did not set any limit in the query but I am doing all my aggregation in SQL which means do summary operation in DB and get only summarized data from DB.
-To solve section problem I am using Template object (new feature added in CR 2008).In which I am returning the field based on the "Group By" parameter selected by user.
-For time Field I have created two sub reports, one for chart and other one for details in the same way described in point one(Printing 1 million recordsu2026u2026).
After implementing these points my crystal reports performance improved drastically. The report that was taking 24 minute to come back now taking only 2 minutes.
However I want my report to come back with one minute. It returns if I remove the sub reports for Time Based Grouping but I can not do so.
My questions here are,
-Can I stop Subreport from fetching the data from DB if itu2019s suppressed?
-I believe using Conditional Template Object is a better option rather than having multiple detailed sections to print the data for a selected Group. However any suggestion here to improve the performance will be appreciable.
-since crystal report does not provide any option to limit the number of records to be fetched from DB, I am forced to use command object with rownum in where condition.
Please let me know about other option(s) to get this done...If there is any.
I am using Crystal report 2008.And we have developed our application the use JRC to export crystal report in PDF.

Amrita

How to change the database in Crystal reports

To give an overview there is one project going on where the oracle database is getting migrated from 10g to 11g.
All the details of database like IP, port etc are changing as part of this.
I can see the driver name configured as crdb_ado (Custom driver).
We have an test environment for 11g against which we have to point all the reports and test it.
Could you please let me know the below queries
Where and how to change the IP details in the crystal reports to point to new test and prod databases.
Overview on this crdb_ado driver
Basically the database is getting changed and we want the reports to point and run from the new database.
Thanks

Hi Vissu,
Thanks for your reply.
We need to change the database from the reports which are already running from central management console.
I can see a custom driver crdb_ado is being used and it connects to a database.
Could you please let me know where the database configuration is done.
Ideally we need to add one more database to a config file which i am not able to find.
I guess it should be similar to tnsnames.ora file in oracle where the different databases are stored.
From the above image I would like to know where the server details (NECTAR_Prod) would be configured.
Thanks in advance

How to set formula field in crystal report

Hello all,
I develope the code in C#.NET and use SAP B1 2004C. I have a problem with crystal report. I have in crystal report one unbound field. This field is string type. I need in my code change value of this field to another text ex. ("test").
I use this code:
FormulaFieldDefinitions crFormula;
            FormulaFieldDefinition crFormulafieldD1;
            crFormula = crReportDocument.DataDefinition.FormulaFields;
            //FormulaFieldDefinition test;
            //bool test = crFormula.IsReadOnly;
            string error = "";
            bool isCorrect = true;
            crFormulafieldD1 = crFormula[1];
            string ahoj = crFormulafieldD1.FormulaName;
            crFormulafieldD1.Text = " ""+OP.ToString()+"" ";
            isCorrect = crFormulafieldD1.Check(ref error);
            // Display the error message if the syntax is incorrect.
            //if (!isCorrect) MessageBox.Show(error);
The value of the field is set, but on the report isnt it. Why not. Can you help me. Send some sample.
Thanks

Hi
I've never tried to change a field of the report directly. Maybe it would solve the problem if you make a parameter field, which you can use in the formula.
You can set then the parameter field:               report.SetParameterValue("NameOfParam", valueOfParam);

How to populate the fields in a report.

Hi,
I've created a function module which calls a report. The report generates a file with sequence no. in the application server.
The problem now is that I want the data from the presentation layer but the Z-Report doesn't generate any output with data except generating a file in the application server.
What can be the options to generate the data without changing the report. Is there anything which I can do in the function module to retrieve the data.
Thanks in Advance.
Sreedhar.

Hi,
First of all Thank you for the quickest response.
Ok I'll download the file to presentation server, "But the problem is that in the application server the files are created with a sequence no. and which I cannot hardcode in the function module." These sequence nos. are generated everytime the report is run.
If I use the download to presentation layer than I'll be using the application server atleast once but I shouldn't use the application layer at all.
How can I resolve this issue then?
Sreedhar.

Hi...
you have to use the event:

u have to give an error message in this event.
Consider the following Example:
PARAMETERS : NUMBER TYPE I.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON NUMBER.
IF NUMBER = 10.
MESSAGE 'Number vakue is 10' TYPE 'E'.
ENDIF.
START-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE NUMBER.

in this if u give the value of number = 10, it will not proceed further, if u give some other value other than 10 you will proceed further...
Execute this program once u will understand....

How to set the field non-editable in the classical report..

Hi..
How to set the field non-editable in the classical report..

Hi experts,
For the component 'ICCMP_EMP_SRCH' there is a view 'BUPAEMPSEARCH' , which has 2 context nodes 'CUSTOMER' AND 'SEARCHEMPLOYEE' , i need to add the field 'NICKNAME' which is part of the 'CUSTOMER' context node on the search screen. Currrently all the fields on the screen screen are from the 'SEARCHEMPLOYEE' context node. when i did the configuration , the 'NICKNAME' field is greyed out . I have already generated the Getter ,Setter , GET_I, GET_M methods for the 'NICKNAME' field and the context node and controller class and context class are all active .
on debugging the GET_I method, i see that rv_disabled = 'TRUE' and the current = collection_wrapper->get_current( ) is returning empty value .
for this rv_disabled to be set false , the code below is not triggered since there is no value in current.
IF current->is_property_readonly(
'NICKNAME' ) = abap_false. "#EC NOTEXT
rv_disabled = 'FALSE'.
ENDIF.
when i check for other search fields of context node 'SEARCHEMPLOYEE' , all the fields are set to rv_disabled = 'FALSE'.
can anyone suggest how to approch this. iam i missing any binding between context nodes or any activations ?
The field properties are set as Input field and the display checkbox is not checked.

How to adjust the text in input field

Hi Expert,
New in VC development. Can someone guide how to adjust the text in input field? Because of long text length it is not displaying fully in visual composer iView so user are not able to see the entire text in input fields

HI Kundan,
I assume that you have already tried different options perent in Label Postion for the field.
If none of these options meet your requirement then you can try the following workaround:
In the display properties, select label position as no label.
In the form view add a new UI Control for Plain Text or HTML text and change its Label to "Material Number".
Now place this new UI Control in before your actual Input field such that it appears as the field label.
Hope this helps.

Rk

How to refernce the field in the cross-tab report

Hello,
I'm trying to refer to the field in the cross-tab report using GridRowColumnValue function.
The field name in formulas is DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Completed, so I'm trying to refer like this:
GridRowColumnValue("DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Completed")
I'm getting:
"This is not the name of a grid group for the field being formatted."
I've tried different way - gave the name of the field, for instance, or used the name form the Cross-tab expert - Max of DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Completed, or simply use "Completed" - nothing worked.
I see the possible cause for it. DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Completed is not a row or column name, in the Cross-tab expert this is a Summarized field. How to reference the field like this correctly?
Thank you,
Peter
Edited by: Peter Afonin on Feb 17, 2009 9:52 AM

Oh I thought it is
ROW: Product Name
COLUMN: Anticipated Date, Completed
SUMMARIZED FIELDS: Product Stage
Anyhow try to move the Completed field above the Anticipated Date in SUMMARIZED FIELDS by clicking up arrow.
Now right click on the field Completed go to format field-->write the suppress condition like this
WhilePrintingRecords;
boolenavar i;
i:=CurrentFieldValue;
false
Now right click on the Anticipated Date field and go to font and write the condition for color like this
WhilePrintingRecords;
boolenavar i;
If CurrentFieldValue >= CurrentDate Then
crGreen
Else If CurrentFieldValue < CurrentDate And i=False Then
crRed
Else
crBlack
I hope this helps!

How to use CRAXDDRT.DLL in crystal report 2008?

Hello All,
We have purchased Crystal report 2008 Full software.
We need to insert BLOB field into Crystal report 2008 at runtime using *CRAXDDRT.DLL*.
How can I insert OLE object and bind it at Runtime using crystal report 2008?
Is it possible to insert Ole Object runtime using crystal report 2008? If yes how and if not is there alternative to perform this job.
Please let me know your feedback.
Thanks

CrxDDrt.dll is only provided in order for the Crystal Reports designer in the .NET IDE.
1) You are not licensed to use this CraxDDrt.dll
2) Even if you were, in previous versions of CR, there were licensing implications to using the craxDDrt.dll (read $$)
3) Once your project would be done, using CR 2008, you would not be able to distribute the runtime as there is no CR MSM or MSI that contains the craxDDrt.dll and it's supporting runtime.
In your original post you say:
"I need to show Word and Pdf file in to Crystal report 2008 using CRAXDDRT.DLL";
I do not understand why you'd need to do this using the craxddrt.dll? You should be able to insert a BLOB field using the RAS SDK for .NET and CR 2008. Now, one hting you will have to keep in mind. If you insert a multipage .doc or .pdf file into the report, you will only get the first page of that document. I suggest you try this in the CR designer first. Always remember that if you can not do a certain thing in the designer, you will not be able to do it at runtime either. Giving all the limitations above, if you are still interested in doing this using RAS, let me know and I'll set you up with some resources to get you going.

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.
