How to develop Language Resources in Crystal Reports

Dear Experts,
I have develop crystal report in english language now i have requirement to develop same in Arabic langauge with its currency symbol. Our application is hosted in USA so by default it pulls $ in our all reports.
Could please provide some details workable solutions.
Thanking you,
Miral Shah

Dear Mr.Sastry Duvvuri,
Step you have given provide static currency. We need dynamic solution.
For dynamic we have add parameter field called "curSymbol" to following
1. Format Currency Field Called "Total Cost"
2. Click on Customize
3.Chose Currency Symbol Tab
4. Remove symbol from Currency Symbol Textbox and Click on x-2 i.e "Formula WorkShop"
5. Add Parameter Field.
Value of parameter field will be provided static all from c# code.
Above is working perfectly on project but when we public our code and crystal report file to our IIS it is not working properly.
It always shows system i.e server currency symbol i.e dollor or pound.
Please provide any other solution or any guidence in above step.
Thanking you,
Miral Shah

Switching the language of the "Crystal Reports for Eclipse" plugin

Good day everyone,
I would like to ask about configuring the language of the "Crystal Reports for Eclipse" plugin:
- I have "Crystal Reports for Eclipse" version: 2.0.7.r1040
- I have installed the language packs 1 and 2
- Currently, the Crystal Reports perspective and the associated views are displayed in German.
- I would like to switch these views back to English.
Questions:
1. How can I switch the language?
2. Will this switching of the language have any known side effect on the existing reports, because some of the reports in my current project are displayed in German?
Thank you in advance for your support.
Best regards,
Samar

Hello everyone,
I have found a solution for this question that I would like to share with you.
- Browse the Control Panel
- Open the Regional and Language Options
- In the Regional Options tab under the Standards and formats group, select the Locale that you prefer.
- *Restart Eclipse* and the Crystal Reports plugin would read the changed setting and display the Crystal Reports perspectives and views in the language of the selected Locale.
Best regards,
Samar

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.

PDF Export Output in Crystal Reports Developer 10 vs. Crystal Reports Developer XI

Hi -- First post here, so forgive newbish behavior (at least for today)Quick question:Why does my output differ (margins and image size) for the same report exported to PDF via Crystal Reports Developer 10 vs. Crystal Reports Developer XI? It's the same report with the same data and same design. When XI is compared to 10, the output in XI seems to remove an extra 1/4-inch on the left, right, top, and bottom margins and makes my images shrink by about a factor of 25%.While not the end of the world, it would be nice to get an explanation as to why this happens.Thanks in advance,Amasis

Â I personally haven't noticed that myself but I'm sure it will have been reported to Customer Care if it's a more persistent issue.Â Have you tried looking this up in the Knowledge Base?

How to hide Group Tree in Crystal Report Server.

Hi all visitors
i have created one crystal report and my report use group to summary the amount of each day.
after i use group to summary, i used text box cover the group. so my group can't click anything.
After that i upload my report to crystal report server, when i viewed my report and when i click on Group Tree, it will show the list of group (group date in crystal report) and it also can click. I don't want to show the Group Tree in Crystal Report Server.
Anybody know how to hide group tree in crystal report server?
Best Regards,

Are you talking custom application, or infoview? If it is custom app, you would have to look at the setToolPanelViewType method. if its infoview, no direct way to change this that i know of.

How to center the content in crystal report viewer?

then tried, content is not center any more
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

Japanese language pack for Crystal Report 2008 SP1

Hi Team,
this is SAP Internal IT Support Center.

Thanks.
もし日本語のバージョンがありましたら、ぜひ教えて頂きたいですが・・・

Japanese language pack has already been included in Crystal Reports 2008 SP1. You don't need to apply Japanese language pack individually.

How to close database connections in Crystal Reports

I am using the following code to connect to database. I can either pass JNDIName or I can provide values for others by leaving JNDI name empty.
If i use JNDI name, it will use a connection from the connection pool of App Server (in my case Weblogic), but it is not releasing the connection after use. Connection remains even if I logoff from the application. If i keep my max connections as 15 in weblogic, after clicking the page with crystal report 15 times all will remain active and users will not be able to login to the application.
If i use connectionString and others without using JNDI Name, it directly connects to database. So it creates a connection in database server directly without using connection pool of weblogic. If i check weblogic, it shows no connection in use as expected, but if i check database, i can see the no. of connections increasing everytime a user clicks a crystal report page.
When the connection touches the maximum allowed connection in server, every application using the same server goes down
How can I close the connection which was created for the viewing the report?
String reportName = "/reports/BankBalance.rpt";
ReportClientDocument clientDoc = (ReportClientDocument) session.getAttribute(reportName);
if (clientDoc == null)
         clientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
         clientDoc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
        // Open report
        clientDoc.open(reportName, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
       String connectString = ""; // jdbc:sybase:Tds:DBSERVERNAME:9812/DBNAME?ServiceName=DBNAME
       String driverName = "";    // com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver
       String JNDIName = "DS_APP";
       String userName = "";
       String password = "";
       // Switch all tables on the main report and sub reports
       CRJavaHelper.changeDataSource(clientDoc, userName, password, connectString, driverName, JNDIName);
     // logon to database
      CRJavaHelper.logonDataSource(clientDoc, userName, password);
// Store the report document in session
session.setAttribute(reportName, clientDoc);
               // Create the CrystalReportViewer object
                      CrystalReportViewer crystalReportPageViewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
     String reportSourceSessionKey = reportName+"ReportSource";
     Object reportSource = session.getAttribute(reportSourceSessionKey);
     if (reportSource == null)
          reportSource = clientDoc.getReportSource();
          session.setAttribute(reportSourceSessionKey, reportSource);
     //     set the reportsource property of the viewer
     crystalReportPageViewer.setReportSource(reportSource);
     crystalReportPageViewer.setHasRefreshButton(true);
     crystalReportPageViewer.setToolPanelViewType(CrToolPanelViewTypeEnum.none);
     // Process the report
     crystalReportPageViewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, application, null);

the sample shows how to clear RAS and Enterprise resources after viewing report.
1. If you use unmanaged RAS - as I can see you using setReportAppServer, then remove the enterprise related stuff : instantiating and cleaning code.
The sample code is meant to give you an idea on how you can release the resources after done with viewing report. In your case all you need to do for cleaning is call close() on ReportDocumentObject. The sample will need to be modified for your requirements.

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.

Yes it is possible to use datasets. resources listed below. One hting to be aware of; Using datasets larger than about 5,000 records (depending on the report) is not advisable. Performance will potentially be an issue with datasets that are too large.

How to set printersettings for the crystal report viewer in SAP BI dynamically

Hello
I have set the URL method for my crystal report and with parameter passing as shown below, it was displaying the crystal report viewer by connecting to the SAP BI 4.0 server with this method.
http://cr:port/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sDocName=CRLabelParam&sType=rpt&lsSnPrinted=0&lsSsTestProjectNr=1
This URL will be called from Web application by different users, i would like to set the printer settings differently for different users for this crystal report viewer how shall i need to set the printer options?
shall i need to set the printer settings programatically for each user. Please advise me how do i need to proceed.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajeswari.

There are no BI / CR APIs that would do this for you. The way I see it, you'll have to have your own print button and populate it with the correct printer information for each user as they request the report. Of course, alternatively, use the viewer printer button and get the users to choose the correct printer.
