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.
Regards,
Chanaka

How to use Sql data source from Essbase 9.3.1

Hi All,
How to use Sql data source from Essbase 9.3.1 for ASO cube.Are there any rules and limitations for that.
Do we need to create any data source connection for this purpose. If there please let me know the dteps to create that connection.
Regards

Yes you need to create one DSN connection and you have to use DSN name and login details at the time of building/loading of the outline.
Create DSN
Goto Administrative tools -> DataSources (ODBC) and add the DSN name and specify the Server name of SQL and login details and database.
goto data prep editor and click on File Menu and Click on Open SQL option Next window opens.
There you have to enter the details of the DSN connection and SQL query to build/load.
Thanks,

Writing and including our own customer data source to Crystal Report Design

Hi,
I need to create a Crystal Report based on a locally stored XML and schema. I can do this but the issue Iu2019m facing is that some tags used in the schema and the format is not supported by Crystal. So my plan is to write a database driver which will take our format and then convert it to the format Crystal supports and vise versa. To do this before writing the driver I need to know if itu2019s possible to include my custom database driver source in to the list that is shown in the Crystal Report Designer when selecting a data source to create a report. Is there such an API available so that I can plugin my data source to Crystal Report Designer? Is this at least possible to do or is there another way?
Hope you can help me.
Thanks you in advance.
Regards,
Chanaka

Hi Chanaka,
Not directly. If you base your driver on OLD DB or ODBC then it will show up in those lists.
If you are planning on selling a lot of packages then you may want to contact our OEM Sales team and sign up. You'll have more resources to do customized features like this. Not sure if we can but the option is there.
Thank you

How to create a user using XML and specifying addional attributes that are objects

I'm trying to create a user using XML and specifying some attributes that are objects and not sure how to do it. How would I set the DirectoryUserAcl to Public?
Here's the xml file:
<?xml version = '1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>
<SimpleUser>
<UserName>mike2</UserName>
<Password>abc123</Password>
<AdminEnabled>false</AdminEnabled>
<HomeFolderRoot>/home</HomeFolderRoot>
<HasContentQuota>false</HasContentQuota>
<DirectoryUserAcl> ??? </DirectoryUserAcl>
<DefaultAclBundleAcl> ??? </DefaultAclBundleAcl>
<HomeFolderPolicyBundleAcl> ??? </HomeFolderPolicyBundleAcl>
</SimpleUser>

I figured out the answer:
<?xml version = '1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>
<SimpleUser>
<UserName>mike2</UserName>
<Password>abc123</Password>
<AdminEnabled>false</AdminEnabled>
<HomeFolderRoot>/home</HomeFolderRoot>
<HasContentQuota>false</HasContentQuota>
<DirectoryUserAcl classname="SystemAccessControlList" refType="name">Public</DirectoryUserAcl>
</SimpleUser>
null

Reporting Services: XML Data Source and Parameters

I’ve created an XML service (asmx) in ASP.Net that I want to use as a data source for an SQL Reporting Services report. The report and service work just fine if I use a Method from the service that does not have parameters. However, if I use a Method that
needs a parameter, the query/report fails. My investigation makes it seem that the parameter is not getting passed to the Method at all. (The parameter is a DateTime and it always ends up uninitialized and the WebMethod throws an exception.)
I’ve exhausted all my TechNet resources and Googled this excessively. It would seem that I am doing this correctly, based on all the examples I’ve seen, but I still can’t get it to work.
I've done a lot of different permutations, but this is where I’m at right now.
(Note: I've changed the Web Method's parameter to be a String instead of a DateTime. I did this as part of my trial-and-error process. Once I get this figured I'll return it to a DateTime.)
I'm trying to include everything here that will help you help me (see attached image). I had to obfuscate a few things (not sure if that is necessary).
See attached image:
Created Shared Data Source in SQL Report Services
Create Report Parameter (matching Web Method parameter)
Created a data set in Report Builder (with Query, and parameter - matching Web Method parameter)
Query in Data Source
<Query>
<Method Name="GetDueDateAging" Namespace="http://zzz.com/vvv">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="cutoffDate">
<DefaultValue></DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<SoapAction>http://zzz.com/vvv/GetDueDateAging</SoapAction>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">*</ElementPath>
</Query>
This is where I needed the most help, and I don't totally understand it. But again, the parameter-less Method worked. I've tried adding different things in the <DefaultValue> tag (like @cuttoffDate and constant values), with no success.
WebMethod Code
[WebMethod]
public List<AgingInvoice> GetDueDateAging(string cutoffDate)
DateTime cd = DateTime.MinValue;
if (!DateTime.TryParse(cutoffDate, out cd))
cd = DateTime.Now;
Shared.DueDateAging aging = new Shared.DueDateAging();
return aging.GetDueDateAging(cd, Settings.Default.ConnectionString);
I've looked at every online resource that I could find, but I'm striking out right now. Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Derrick

Hi Derrick,
In your case, please refer to the following method to troubleshooting this problem:
We can use Fiddler2 to monitor the HTTP post, and check whether the parameter is being sent. The Fiddler tool can helps us debug web applications by capturing network traffic between the Internet and test computers. If the parameter is being sent, please
debug the web service to ensure the method has values return.

How to take XML data source from URL?

Hi,
I creating application which need to download some data from any web page. This page is creating via XSL (as stylesheet) .This XSL
process some XML "data source" and generate HTML page. I wanna ask if exist some way how to take this XML "data source"? If i used
URL and take InputStream I everytime obtain full generated HTML, JavaScript page - compiled by web browser. But if i look to "page
source" of this page in web browser i see just that XML data source which i need to take (only at start of this xml is way to xsl
style sheet).
But this problem i have only at my required page.If i tried to take another page with similar structure code, it was succesful.
Here is link : LINK
Why i dont have permision take clear xml from this page?What is so special?
Exist some way how to take this XML without generated html code?
Thank you.

I apologize for my english. I try explain my problem again:
At this url [http://eu.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=33677] is web page. If you look at "page source", web page is create via XML and XSLT. I need load this data source. I used DOMParser for that:
URL url = new URL("http://eu.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=33677");
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse(url);
XMLDocument doc = parser.getDocument();I get exception : Exception in thread "main" oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParserException: Expected '?>' instead of 'EOF'
If i used it at another page (for example [http://www.w3schools.com/XML/simplexsl.xml|http://www.w3schools.com/XML/simplexsl.xml] ), compile was successful and i can work with this XMLDocument and etc.
I try load it by InputStreamReader too:
URL url = new URL("http://eu.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=33677");
try {
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream());
    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine() != null) {
        System.out.println(line);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace
}i get only compiled HTML code by web browser. At second page i load successfuly XML data - not compiled by browser.
Is possible to take original xml page source from this page? And what diferent is between this pages?
Thank you and i hope, you can translate this post without headache :-) If it will be necessary, i can more specify some details.

How to delete XML Dat Source from BW System

Hello All,
How can i delete SOAP XML data source(6A *) from BW System.
Do I need to delte the generated RFC function module for the data source ??
Cheers
POPS

Hi Sumit Kalyan
Since your are using process order, I would like to know whether you are using process management function or not.
(Especially your are following GMP scenario ? This guide line is basically used pharmaceutical industry.
If you work with GMP scenario, before your are archiving your process order, you need to create electronic batch creation and archiving.
Then you can archive your process order and delete it completely from your system.
You can check whether your are using GMP scenario or not in your process order type.
(T-CD COR4).
If you are not. All you need to do is set deletion flag and deletion indicator to your process order and then archive your process order (you can use program PRARCHP1) by using archiving object PR_ORDER (you can call this object from t-cd sara or COAC).
I hope this information help you.
best regards

Report Query - XML data source empty

Hello!
I built a report query, using the wizard, under Shared Components and when I test the query using bind variables I get the correct data, but as I click Apply Changes and get to the screen where it gives me the option to Download the data source for the report layout, the file is empty. I've repeated the steps multiple times, each time getting correct data when testing the query, yet nothing in my xml file.
Any ideas on why this is happening?
Thank you.

Hello! Thank you for responding!
I actually am having problems on the "Report Queries" section under "Shared Components"...my query doesn't return any data when I try to download/open the xml file. Once I'm able to get this fixed, I'll be able to open my report on the page that has the branch.

2.5 GB CSV file as data source for Crystal report

Hi Experts,
I was asked to create a crystal report using crystal report as datasource(CSV file that is pretty huge (2.4Gb)). Could you help with me any doc that expalins the steps mainly with data connectivity.
Objective is to create Crystal Report using that csv file as data source, save the report as .rpt with the data and send the results to customer to be read with Crystal Reports Viewer or save the results to PDF.
Please help and suggest me steps as I am new to crystal reports and CSV as source.
BR, Nanda Kishore

Nanda,
The issue of having some records with comma and some with a semi colon will need to be resolved before you can do an import. Assuming that there are no semi colons in any of the text values of the report, you could do a "Find & Replace" to convert the semi colons to commas.
If find & replace isn't an option, you'll need to get the files separately.
I've never used the Import Export Wizzard myself. I've always used the BULK INSERT command
It would look something like this...
BULK INSERT SQLServerTableName
FROM 'c:\My_CSV_File.csv'
WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ',')
This of course implies that your table has the same columns, in the same order as the csv files and that each column is the correct data type to accept the incoming data.
If you continue to have issues getting your data into SQL Server Express, please post in one of these two forums
[Transact-SQL|http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/transactsql/threads]
[SQL Server Express|http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlexpress/threads]
The Transact-SQL forum has some VERY knowledgeable people (including MVPs and book authors) posing answers.
I've never posed to the SQL Server Express but I'm sure they can trouble shoot your issues with the Import Export Wizard.
If you post in one of them, please copy the post link back to this thread you I can continue to to help.

Hierarchical Data Source in Crystal Reports Options

We are trying to use Crystal Reports in VS2005 and set the data source
to a list of our objects.
      Dim list As New BindingList(Of Payslip)
      Dim Report2 As New CrystalReport2()
      Report2.SetDataSource(list)
This works fine when we are just considering the Payslip class in
isolation. However we have a property on Payslip which contains a list
of another class Element.
   Public Property Elements() As BindingList(Of Element)
      Get
         Return _Elems
      End Get
      Set(ByVal Value As BindingList(Of Element))
         _Elems = Value
      End Set
   End Property
We would like to be able to display the Elements in the report, in a
sub report ideally. However we cannot find a way of doing this. We can
tell Crystal Reports how to link an Element to a PaysSlip, but not how
to get to the Elements in the first place (i.e. by going through the
property called Elements).
How can we achieve this?

The fundamental data model of Crystal Reports is relational and not object hierarchial.
Are you able to transform the object hierarchy to a relational model?
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Update data source in Crystal report

hi there
i have some CR in PROD, now they are needed to do a test in DEV first, when i refresh the report, it will prompt to ask me login, so i choose to login to DEV system, but i found some reports are not updated to the DEV, some do, i also found those reports failed to update to the DEV because they have sub reports
is there way to update data source for those reports with sub-reports when i login to DEV?
thanks

Click on Database, Set Location and choose your Database and server. Highlight the connections and click on the OK or Update button. Do this for each table also and for each subreport.
Thank you
