How to change database in crystal report design

Hi experts
I have created a report in crystal addon using demo database, now I want to change the database to see the actual testing of report. I tried by Set Location option in Database expert I log off the current server then Log on It ask the database name I put new database name . But when I Run the report it show the previous database records.

What do you mean by this?
I have not yet installed the Crystal Addon for SAP (Using R1 Reports now) I would hope that Addon allows you to use a different database with Crystal, my current solution does and that is how I build most of my reports with views and sp's.
I hope this is not to far off topic.
Thanks

How to Change Database of Report before Exporting?

I am having difficulties changing the database that the report should run against.
We are using Oracle. In the past when scheduling a report through CE, I would manipuate the Desktop.ReportLogons object. For Oracle I simple changed the CustomServerName, CustomUserName, and CustomPassword properties. Everything worked fine when the report was scheduled and ran.
Now I am doing an on-demand report without an interactive viewer. I am doing everything in code using RasAppFactory and the ReportClientDocument.
I am looking at the DatabaseController of ReportClientDocument. I thought I could just use the LogonEx method passing in the server, user, password, and an empty string for the database since for Oracle connections you only specify server and not database. However, it is still trying to connect to the defined database.
Can someone point me to an Oracle specific example of how to properly change database info when report runs?
Do I need to be using other methods like one of the SetTableLocation methods?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello, Stephen;
You are correct, with Oracle you do not need the Database property.
The person logged on to Business Objects Enterprise through the RAS .NET application would need rights to make the change in database connections. Can the usr with the same logon make the change directly in Enterprise?
The ReportClientDocument separates the Server Name and Database from the User ID and Password with the PropertyBag. The convenience methods such as LogonEx will only change the User ID and Password. To change all four properties you need the full RAS logon code.
The full logon for RAS would use code as shown below.

How to transport Parameter changes in a crystal report

Hi All,
Very Good morning!!!
I have designed a crystal report with static parameters. Earlier i used to have a dropdown kind of input selection for my parameters.
Now i got a new requirement for a direct input in the field....tht means no dropdown ...single date field is to be entered directly.
Accordingly i have removed the dropdown and changed to a single direct date field. I saved these changes to a request and transported to quality. Not sure whether the parameter changes are collected into a request.
Whereas i couldn't found any changes of my parameters in quality. They are as same dropdown manner in the quality whereas i need them to be a direct field date entry which did not affected the quality server after transporting the changes.
Could some one please let me know how to reflect these changes in quality server regarding parameter changes in a crystal report for BW.
Thanks in Advance.

How to register/configure a Data Provider with Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m in the process of developing an ADO .Net XML Data Provider which works with Data Sets. I want to use this custom Data Provider through Crystal Report Designer 2008 so that I can access it from the u201CStandard Report Creation Wizard\Available Data Sourcesu201D section. How can I do this? I read the following in the u201Ccreating custom adddins.docu201D documentation.
u201CCrystal Reports (CR) 2008 installs a new managed dll called DotNetExternalCommandAdapter.DLL and installs it into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). CR 2008 uses this dll to search and load files with a csc prefix in CR 2008u2019s AddIns subdirectory in a similar way it looks for database drivers, export drivers and UFLs. To create an Add-In the developer needs to reference this dll and inherit two classes from it, ICommand and ICommandDLL.u201D
I have the following questions,
1) As it mentions above how can I make Crystal find my custom Data Provider when it searches for the database drivers?
2) Is there another class I can inherit from when creating my custom data provider? If so where can I find some documentation regarding this?
3) Can I register my custom data provider in to the GAC and will Crystal find it if so how can I register my custom Data Provider? Will GACUtil work for Crystal as well?
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Chanaka

Baron, thank you for providing that link.
Chanaka see if that article helps you out. It should - had I got to this thread earlier, I'd have sent that link also. Certainly DE place to start.

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Chanaka

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1. New Report
2. From Create New Connection-> XML
3. Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4. Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

Characteristic details belonging to Order line 5
How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.

How to publish crystal report designed using SAP Add-on toolbar

we have installed the crystal report designer V10 and the SAP add-on on the desktop.
we have designed a formatted report in crystal report designer using an existing BW report that was created using Bex query designer. After this we saved the crystal report back in BW to a role.
We have not published the report to crystal enterprise server, since the connection to same is not in place.
We would like to know how to publish this report in Enterprise portal ?
Can we bypass publishing the report to crystal enterprise server and publish the report on browser or through EP ?

Viewing Report created in Crystal Report Designer

Hi,I'm new to CR4E and tries to work with existing report. I saw many error while trying this, please excuse me to the long email below that I explain all the errors I saw......I have some reports that were created in Crystal Report Designer (CR XI Release 2) connecting to the Oracle Database using "Oracle Server" type connection. How can I access it from CR4E? I have the following problem (in the order I see them)1) In the Eclipse's JSP page, I specified the full path to the report, but I get a report not found error. Must the report locate within the project? Is there any way we can open a report outside of the project?2) I copied the report to the project, a) followed jrc_print_report example to print the report, get "JNDI name not found" error. b) then generate a viewer page, but I get the Driver "crdb_oracle.dll" is not supported error.3) I setup the new JNDI followed the jrc_changedatasource.jsp example to change the datasource, but I still get the "JNDI name not found" error.4) I imported the report intoEclipse and changed the connection. Then I can create a jsp page to print it to a printer (I still can't view it, but my goal is to print, so that's ok). However, a) the original report has a "Command" object from the Oracle database to control where to select the report's data, when I remap, this object disappear and I cannot see how to recreate it. Any suggestion? b) also, the report is very complex with many subreports and it will be nightmare to go in and change all of the datasource, also a maintenance nightmare to maintain two copies. Any better suggestions?Thank you very much! Your help is very appreciated.Celia

Hi Celia
1. Yes the Java Reporting Component (JRC) which is the runtime component of the Crystal Reports for Eclipse can open reports outside the project.Â Â Its often better to have the reports inside the project for deployment purposes but you are welcome to put the report where ever you need it.Â
Note: To use absolute paths, ensure that the CRConfig.xml file does not contain a reportlocation tag.
2. The JRC can't report off of Oracle directly, you would need to use a JDBC driver to connect your reports to Oracle.Â The crdb_oracle.dll will never connect because its not Java.Â
3. When the JRC finds that the report is not using a supported database driverÂ it will do a lookup to find the name of the report datasource.Â When it finds the datasource name it will then do a JNDI lookupÂ for a JDBC datasource with theÂ same name.Â If your Application server doesn't have a datasource with that name it will through the error you were seeing.Â
4. I'm not sure about losing the Command object when changing the datasource but this is probably happening because the Command is linked to the database driver.
5. What you could try doing is creating a JDBC Datasource on your application server where this app will run with a JNDI name thatÂ matches your report datasource name.Â If your reports datasource name is "MyOracleDatasource" then I believe the JNDI name for new JDBC Datasource would have to be "jdbc/MyOracleDatasource".
You could give this a try.

Need help connect Access Database to Crystal Report Viewer in java

Need example for passing parameters to PropertyBag Class and IConnectionInfo Class.
We use CR_JRC_11.8
Thanks

A sample that demonstrates how to change the database that a report uses at runtime in the JRC can be found at the following link on the SAP Portal:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0ad3d3d-be66-2b10-2181-f46c6e05a420
To help determine what connection properties need to be changed at runtime through code, create a copy of your original report and use the Crystal Reports designer to change this report to new datasource manually. You can then use the jrc_display_connection_info helper sample to examine what the parameters should be in the property bag before setting the IConnection information. The jrc_display_connection_info helper sample can be found at the following link on the SAP Portal:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/706202a4-bd66-2b10-4e8b-92f4a8024ea1
Hope these samples help.
Regards.

Hi im trying to view a simple report , this report have some parameters from a MS Access database.I configure everything, The ODBCJDBC bridge, the dns System on Windows, etc... and the problem its like this, I connect the database, but the schema its empty , i cant map, the dinamic parameters of my report, with my access database.I have this errors : at same time 1. This report uses a data connection that isn't fully supported by this version of the Crystal Reports designer.
You can modify the report in the designer, but the following actions
that access this connection will fail: Browse data, verify database,
and report preview. We recommend you set the datasource location to a
JDBC or Java Result Set data source. 2.

> [email protected] thanks to people that can help ...

Hi Wendy Fu,
Thanks for your feed back. I could see Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll to add as reference to my project. Actually I can open generated rdlc in designer, at run time I get error. I could not make out where is the exact mistake out of three
options flashed.
The definition of this report is not valid or supported by this version of Reporting Services.
The report definition may have been created with a later version of Reporting Services
or contain content that is not well-formed or not valid based on Reporting Services schemas
Details: Data at the root level is invalid
My web config has following references
<add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/>
<add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/>
May be I have to change these versions to 9 or 10.
First I will try adding Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll .
Once thanks for your reply.

Use of Grid in crystal report designer

Hello,
I have a simple question in regards to data grid in crystal report designer. Crystal report designer has a capability to show grid in both design and preview mode, can we make use of any other grid in crystal, how can I make my report look more professional like the text box alignment and placed objects based on using grids?

I am confused as to what you are asking. You can align text boxes and lines/linear boxes using the grid in the report design tool just like other report objects. You can achieve some very crisp looking report designs this way. There are also tools available when you right-click one or more objects to size and/or align those objects within the page.
Fuskie
Who notes you can also change the spacing between guidelines and grid points to provide more control over layout...

How to create user editable Crystal Report with dynamic dataset

What I would like to achieve:
A program loads a report in runtime updates list of database fields (possibly includes sample data), open report in "Crystal Reports 2011" (or 2008) where user customizes report and saves it. Later on the program loads the report, fills actualized data and displays it in .net report viewer.
What I do:
CrReport = New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
CrReport.Load(TemplateFilename)
Dim Results As DataTable
DataTable is filled from a database
CrReport.SetDataSource(mResults)
CrReport.SaveAs(NewReportPath, True)
The NewReportPath is opened in the default program.
What are the problems
The report is open in preview mode (not in design).
When the field is added to the report the designer asks for XML datasource on preview.

The short answer is that it is not possible. I broke the question to other two: How to save a report that it opens without preview? and How to create user editable Crystal Report with dynamic dataset, where it is possible to find details. Key answer is Re: How to create an editable previewable report?

How to map currecny from Crystal Reports

Im using JRC to load and view crystal reports.ie loading crystal reports that are created (not by me) using Crystal Reports v 10. My work is just load those rpt files using JRC thick client.
rpt files are bound to .mdb (MS Access) database and DB is password protected. One of the table in database has currency data type. I'm creating a POJO class to implement the table structure. To match with Currency type, Im using BigDecimal type in my pojo class. when i open the .rpt file in crystal report designer, it shows with default currency symbol (i.e $ and £) But the when i load the same report via JRC, It doesnot show the symbol at all.
When I change this to String and pass symbol, it is coming up properly. But in some places, the reports use sum function of 2 curency fields. So in this case, string cannot be used.
If not bigdecimal, then what can i use to map with currency.
