How to automatically refresh crystal report's viewer content

Hello,
How can I force a periodic reload of the contents of a report as displayed in crystal reports viewer? (without clicking anywhere)
The idea is simply to update the content of the screen with fresh data, that could be used as a monitoring screen.
The update must not require user intervention (no clicking, no prompting for parameters).
We are using a jsp page CrystalReportsViewer.jsp , CRJ update 2
I assume this is quite standard, and that there is a way using a javascript reload function, but I cannot find any example anywhere.
Does someone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Matt

There's no public API on the client-side JavaScript to trigger the refresh button, but I do know some people trap the HTTP traffic (using something like Fiddler or Charles) to figure out what to do, then inject JavaScript.
I personally don't have any sample codes for this.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

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.

Is it possible to automatically refresh a report at 15-minute intervals?

I have a user who doesn't want to have to manually refresh his onhand inventory report throughout the day. He would like, instead, for the report to automatically refresh at 15-minute intervals. I cannot find anything in the Desktop, Plus, and Viewer user guides that allow for this. We're currently using Desktop 10.1.2.48 and are deploying Plus and Viewer 10.1.2.54 CP8 after the first of the year.
I have suggested that the user insert the date/time into his report title so he can have a clue how current the data is and then manually refresh the report if he needs to. However, he would still rather have the report refresh itself.
Is this possible?

Hi,
No you cannot automatically refresh a report. Your best option is to use Viewer. You can run a report by posting a URL to the viewer report from your browser. You then create a web page that automtically refreshes the report.
To be honest though, I wouldn't use Discoverer to do this. You should look at Apex which has automatic refresh as an option for the reports and is very quick and simple to set up (and free to use!).

How do you refresh a report after an update?

Hi all,
I have a Welcome Page that has several Portlets on it. One of the Portlets is a QBE report. From the report a user can click on a column record and be transported to a form, where the user can modify the record. Once the user is satisfied with the changes, the user hits the UPDATE button and is transported back to the Welcome Page. The only problem is that the Report has not been updated. Refresh does not work on the web toolbar and the only way I figured out on how to refresh the report is to go into the 'Customize' page and make some sort of change and hit O.K. After that, I am redirected back to the Welcome Page with the Report refreshed with current data. How can I refresh the report, without going into the 'Customize' Page? What code does the 'Customize' page do, to automatically refresh the report? I am using Portal 9.0.2.2.14.
TIA,
Dan

Hi,
This is due to webcache. You can solve this problem by calling the page url with an extra parameter. That way the page would get invalidated.
Say the page url is
http://domain/portal/page_pageid=33,32951&_dad=portaldad&_schema=portalschema
then you should call the page like this
http://domain/portal/page_pageid=33,32951&_dad=portaldad&_schema=portalschema&1=2
This just adds a dummy parameter at the end and hence invalidates the cache.
Thanks,
Sharmila

How to get a Crystal report as an iview in Portal

Hi,
Please let me know how to get a crystal report to Portal.
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi,
I used URL iview option to get the crystal report in portal and am able to view it. Thank you all for your inputs.
But as of now SSO is not configured between BOE and BI system, so when i click on URL iview initially it asks me for credentials to BOE InfoView and after entering that it again asks for BI login as the data has to be picked from BI server.
We are going to configure SSO mean while i just want to know whether it is possible to pass the id and passw as parameters to this url iview, if so what are the parameter id's i need to maintain to pass id and passw.
Let me know on this.
Regards,

How to open the crystal reports 2008 in CRYSTAL REPORTS ENTERPRISE 4.0

Hi All,
Can you please let me know how can migrated the crystal reports from BO XI 3.1 to SAP BO 4.1 and after migrate how to open the crystal reports 2008 in CRYSTAL REPORTS ENTERPRISE 4.0.
can you please help on this and if document please share.
Thanks,

Use the upgrade management tool to move from 3.1 reports to BO 4.1. After migration, open the report in crystal enterprise 4.0, you will get a message saying that the report will be converted to latest version, will not be able to view from older version after converting. (Similar words- not sure exact words).

Barcode not displaying/printing in Crystal Report java viewer

We have written a Crystal report (in Developer XI release 2 with service pack 4 installed) which produces barcode labels. The barcodes are Code 39 barcodes and are generated by printing the string \*data_field\* in a Code 39 barcode font. The asterisk is the character used for the Code 39 start/stop sequence in the barcode font.
In Developer everything works fine and prints out and scans correctly. When we make the report available to our end users in the Crystal Reports java viewer all we get where the barcode should appear is white space on screen or when we print. (The rest of the report behaves correctly).
We have tried a few things and have found that if both asterisks or the starting or ending asterisk is left in a different font (i.e. not the barcode font) then the rest of the string displays and prints in the barcode font. (unfortunately without bot asterisks you don't get a scanable barcode).
Has anyone got any suggestions on how to fix this?
(In case it might be relevant the barcode font we are using is this one: http://www.barcodesinc.com/free-barcode-font/)
Thanks
Trevor

Hello Ludek,
                I have found that the issue is caused by the bold attributes of my field.
                You can try the following and you should encounter the same issue:
                                - Create a Report
                                - Create a formula with many characters
                                - Put you field in Times New Roman bold 8.
                The following Font Size in Times New Roman are in issue: 5 u2013 8 u2013 11- 14
                The following Font Size in Arial are in issue: 8 u2013 11 u2013 12 u2013 14
Thank you.

Crystal Reports 2008 viewer, print function, Comunication error

I installed cr2008 on a web server and isntalled sp0
if I bring up a reprot in smartviewer from a client it works and I can print
once I installed sp1, sp2 and or sp3 for crystal reports 2008 the print button in crystal reports viewer gives an error when I click the print button.
If I remove and re-isntall cr2008 and just installed sp0 the print button works again
Is there a fix to make the print button work in crystal reports smart viewer once sp1 or above have been installed
thank you

Translating the error message on bablefish I get:
Mistake with the store of the data bank information. Mistake in the file Report {C6512421-348A-4621-B1ED-895D28646A0A} .rpt
Which I'm sure is not 100% accurate, but it gives a good hint. As well, because of this:
"Do I need to install an additional / diffrent runtime than 2008 Runtime"
I wonder how you installed the CR 12 runtime on that computer? For more info on CR runtimes, see [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0] wiki.
If my suggestion above does not help, make sure the Win\temp directory can be accessed buy the application. Crystal Reports runtime needs to write and read files from the temp directory.

Refresh Crystal Report

How to refresh Crystal Reports using command line. Please provide the exact syntax for following cases....
1. Simple report
2. Report with parameter
We have only Crystal Report. We want to create a Batch file which will refresh all report without opening each individual reports.

Hi Rakesh
As per the issue description, you want to run the report using Command Line. This functionality was available till CR 8; however after CR 8.5 it is not supported.
The only option I can suggest you is that you need to develop an application using Java or .NET languages.
To get better assistance on this I request you to post this thread on Java or .Net forum.
The links to these forums are as follows:
For .NET: .NET SDK Application Development
For Java: Java SDK Application Development
Hope this helps!

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.

Crystal Report Activex Viewer Control

 Our users are prompted to download: Crystal Report Activex Viewer Control -- when trying to view reports. Since they do not have Admin rights on their PC, they are unable to install this Activex Control. Is there a setup file available someplace that can deployed to the user's pc that would intsall the activex control?Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,Anupam

bq.
Manual installation
To manually install the ActiveX Viewer on the client computer:
1. Copy the ActiveXViewer.cab file from the server to the client computer, and extract its contents to a temporary folder.
2. Move the files Crviewer.dll, Crviewer9.dll, Sviewhlp.dll, and Swebrs.dll to the System32 folder. Keep this folder visible.
3. On the Start menu, click Run. The Run dialog box appears.
4. In the Open box, type âu20ACu0153regsvr32âu20AC and then drag and drop the Crviewer.dll file icon from the System32 folder onto the Run dialog box.
5. Click OK.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the files Crviewer9.dll, Sviewhlp.dll, and Swebrs.dll.
But I haven't tried it myself yet. I have so much crystal stuff on my PC. I'm going to set up a virtual PC that has never had crystal and see if it works.
