How to display wide crystal reports in Infoview

I have Crystal reports which are about 50 inches wide, I have chosen a PDF writer as the printer driver to fit the layout in the Crystal reports client tool and I export this report to the BO server on a AIX (Unix) server.
This report when viewed via Infoview, the report gets chopped off anything more than 12 inches approx. I have tried various printer settings and even no printer, I am able to scale upto 24 inches at the maximum.
How can I be able to display the 50 inches wide crystal report in infoview. Any help would be appreciable.
Environment: BO XI R2 SP 3.5, AIX 5.3
Thanks in advance,
Venkat

  • 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.

  • BEx hierarchies not displayed in Crystal report parameters

    Hi All,
    I am trying to using a Bex query that has a cost center hierarchy with a variable that allows users to select specific nodes or even cost centers. In BEx reports, this query works fine and gives the users the view of the cost centres in a hierarchial manner. However, in Crystal reports, the query provides a drop down menu displaying a simple list of all the cost centres (not in a hierarchial manner). This confuses the user as to which element is a node and which is a cost centre
    Kindly suggest how can we achieve the cost centre hierarchy to appear in the parameters in Crystal.
    Thanks

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Regarding Crystal Report and infoview

    Hi All,
    In My project I have the following requirements.
    I have published a crystal report in infoview which contains three parameters field.
    Report is running fine . At the parameter selection screen three options is coming "Execute" "Collapsed All"
    and "Expand all" and user wants that it should contain only one option "Execute" or "OK" button.
    Is it possible that I can change it from anywhere?Please reply me.

    Keep in mind that we are not talking about the BOE or CR SDK here (which is supported from SAP) rather about modifying the existing BOBJ code.
    You may try to use the BOE and Crystal SDK to write your own report viewers but to be honest you will save yourself a lot of  time and money if you just tell your users/customers what those buttons do and ask them to avoid them.

  • Crystal Report Server - InfoView question

    Hi . I have a question on the Crystal Report Server. I want to send the output ( excel file ) from a crystal report in Infoview. I tried to click the 'Send To' button, but it only sends out the .rpt file. Please help...

    Hi,
    If you schedule the report you will have output file options for Excel, PDF, Word...
    You should probably have  an Export option on your viewer as well - Excel should appear in this. (You need to have permissions to see this)
    Regards

    PS: This should be posted to the BO General or Crystal Reports forums.

  • Crystal Report in InfoView is not displaying the parameter

    Cheers All,
    We have a Crystal Report which is connected to the BEx query. We also have parameters based on variables in BEx.
    When we run the report directly from Crystal, everything is fine.
    However, when we run the report from InfoView, when I click on the "..." button beside the parameter to make the selection, everything hangs up.
    This (static) parameter is based on a variable which is based on a compounded characteristic 0ASSET_AFAB.
    The compunding keys are :1) Company code 2) Asset 3) Sub-asset.
    The user is providing the Company code in another parameter, but the user is not providing the Asset, nor the asset sub-number... so all the iterations of asset/sub-asset/depreciation area are displayed - and this works at BEx level, and it works when the report is run directly from the Crystal Reports, however this does not work when the report is run from the InfoView.
    What would be the best course of action?
    Regards,
    Dmitriy

    Hi Rajiv,
    In OIM 9.1 we are using the stored procedure to get the values for all the fields.In the stored procedure we are using the cursor to store the list of values but in the BI Publisher we are using the SQL queries to retrieve the values for the fields in the report. In sql queries we are unable to handle the list of values for the fileds like User Groups and Resources provisioned/deprovisioned.
    Please let me know the process even if we can get list of values for the fields using the SQL queries.

  • How do I make Crystal report viewer navigation icons display

    Visual Studio 8 accessing Crystal Reports Server 11 r2 using development web server.
    Report renders just fine in viewer but none of the viewer icons seem to find their image - all appear as X. 
    Debugging shows the src for icons is "this.src='/crystalreportviewers11/images/toolbar/(gif name)" such as "this.src='/crystalreportviewers11/images/toolbar/export_over.gif'".   I have such a directory\file in c:\program files\common files\business objects\3.0\crystalreportviewers11\images\toolbar\export_over.gif .
    perhaps related or a different problem: I get java script error when trying to print or export the rendered report: "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this action" pointing to line: print = false;crystal_postback="<input type='hidden' name='__EVENTTARGET' value='myCrystalReportViewer'><input type='hidden' name='__EVENTARGUMENT' value='export'><input type='hidden' name='__LASTFOCUS' value=''><input type='hidden' name='__VIEWSTATE' etc.
    I see that java src is in the same neighborhood as the missing images: "JavaScript" src="/crystalreportviewers11/js/export.js" and using same hierarchy as above, I find this java file.
    Regarding missing images, how do I make viewer see these?  Where do I copy the images or how do I point the viewer to where they are?
    alan

    Out of the frying pan and into the fire...   I offer the following for other novices like myself and hope that experts will correct any misconceptions.
    My Crystal viewer control still does not display icons or print and now behaves badly when trying to display a report.  I would appreciate any advice.  Details follow.
    We have a Crystal Reports Server XI r 2.  I obtained the installation disks from tech support to install client tools on my development workstation.  These disks installed version 11.0.3300 .  After some research I have come to believe the following:
    Crystal Reports XI r1 = 11.0 = Managed 3.0
    Crystal Reports XI r2 = 11.5 = Managed 3.5
    Crystal Reports 2008 = 12 = Managed 4.0
    So I actually installed release one client tools.  The disks I received were the only installation disks we have, but I believe the server was updated to release 2 via web.  I could not find anywhere on web where I could download the release 2 client tools nor could I find any executable on server installation of release 2 to install the client tools to the development workstation.
    However, I also hold a license to the full blown BOE server at XI r2 release  I installed the client tools from these disks to my development workstation.  This installed version 11.5.3300 .  Based on other messages, I believe I need to get to 11.5.3700, but I am lost as to how to get this version.  The differences in versions may be the sole cause of my remaining problems, but I doubt it.
    To make sure I had no conflicts on development workstation, I removed all vestiges of Visual Studio and Crystal and then reinstalled VS2008, then Crystal designer, then Crystal Server client tools.  I also installed all service packs for these.  Tech Support tells me Crystal Reports Server has all service packs installed.  I noticed that the release one toolset installation created needed .dll's in both a program files\business objects\common folder and a program files\common\business objects folder, but the release two installation created only the former, not the latter - don't know if that matters.
    I had a Crystal viewer app at version 10.5 that worked fine for all reports except those that use the Server business view layer.  I am creating a new web version that can handle all Crystal reports including those using business view layer.  I am following the BOE SDK tutorial for creating a viewer.  I am binding to Crystal Viewer with an infoObject cast as report per one of the tutoral ways of binding. (I wonder if I need to use a different kind of binding though the tutoral indicates this should work.)
    When I was using release 1 tools with release 2 server, the report would render just fine but the navigation icons appeared as X's and the print/export buttons resulted in error of "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this action".
    Per suggestions, I got everything in sync (to version 11.5.3300 which is only release two version I have available) - all references, viewer control, image handler.  I did have to change the image handler type to "CrystalImageHandler.aspx" type="CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalImageHandlerPage, to get a successful build because type CrystalImageHandler (no "page" suffix) is not defined in Crystal Decisions.Web version 11.5.3300,  I also had to add a reference to CrystalDecisions.Enterprise,PlugInManager for the constant CePictureState.cePictureThumbnail to be defined.  This reference was not necessary with version 1 toolset and not mentioned in tutoral.  Now I have the following symptoms:
    1.  When I bind to a very simple .rpt file stored in filing system of my workstation (displays a constant), the report will render in viewer but the navigation icons are still X's and print/export buttons still get JScript error message.
    2.  When I bind to this same simple report copied into Server folder using an infoObject cast as report (which used to render fine with release one client tools), I get the message: "The Page Server you are trying to connect to is not accessible. Please contact your system administrator."  This same report in Server folder runs fine using my Crystal Designer client.  I am able to display other attributes of the report object so I know I have a good report object.  So, my upgrade to 11.5.3300 has now additionally broken the report render.
    I would love to get to version 11.5.3700 and see what is still broken (I suspect there will still be some), but haven't a clue how to get this version of client tools.  Upgrading server to 2008 is not an option.  Downgrading Visual Studio to an earlier release is an option if VS2008 is contributing to the problem.  If I have to downgrade VS, what release is recommended?
    Any advice about any of these problems is welcome!

  • How to Retrieve a Crystal Report's Unmanaged Destination Filename

    Hi all,
    I have looked very closely at Robert Twigg's response to the post "[Destination Path and name of a scheduled Report|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9588160#9588160]" dated 9/1/10 and while it does retrieve the unmanaged destination path, the filename retrieved is the managed filename.  How does one go about retrieving an instance's unmanaged filename?
    When I look at a Crystal Report instance details, it definitely knows what the unmanaged filename that was populated, here is a sample instance detail:
    External Destination: File copy the instance with the filename: "ALOG_Deferred_Clearing_RPT_2011-12-13-11-43-09.pdf" to the folder: "/apps/efs_bobj/IMPL/XX" .
    As you can clearly see, the filename consists of report name, date, and time that was specified as "%SI_NAME%_%SI_STARTTIME%.%EXT%" in the destination filename.
    Here's the snippet to retrieve the managed filename:
    IInfoObject report = (IInfoObject) reports.get(0);
    // Get the file name from the instance.
    IFiles files = (IFiles) report.getFiles();
    IFile file = (IFile) files.get(0);
    Any insight on how to retrieve an instance's unmanaged filename would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Hart Penn

    Thank you for your response.  I am querying for the report instances using the query below:
    IInfoObjects iRptObjects = infoStore.query("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS " +
                                               "Where SI_KIND='Pdf' AND " +
                                               "SI_INSTANCE>0 ");
    Collection<IInfoObject> iRptObjs = iRptObjects;
    for (IInfoObject iRptObj : iRptObjs) {
        ISchedulingInfo iSchedInfo = iRptObj.getSchedulingInfo();
        IEvents triggerEvents = iSchedInfo.getDependants();
        if (triggerEvents.size() > 0) {
            for (int j=0; j < triggerEvents.size(); j++) {
                IInfoObjects events = (IInfoObjects)infoStore.query("SELECT * FROM CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS " +
                                                                    "Where SI_KIND='Event' AND " +
                                                                    "SI_ID=" + (Integer) triggerEvents.get(j));
                if (events.size() > 0) {
                    IEvent curEvent = (IEvent)events.get(0);
        IDestinationPlugin destPlugin =
            (IDestinationPlugin) infoStore.query("Select Top 1* from CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS " +
                                                 "Where SI_NAME = 'CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged'").get(0);
        IDestinations dests = iSchedInfo.getDestinations();
        Collection<IDestination> destObjs = dests;
        if (dests.size() > 0) {
            // we have a dest set up
            for (IDestination destObj : destObjs) {
                if (destObj.getName().compareTo("CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged") == 0) {
                    // Copy the destination properties to the destination plugin.
                    destObj.copyToPlugin(destPlugin);
                    // Get the scheduling options for the unmanaged disk.
                    IDiskUnmanagedOptions diskUnmanagedOptions =
                        (IDiskUnmanagedOptions) destPlugin.getScheduleOptions();
                    // Get the destination files
                    List destFiles = diskUnmanagedOptions.getDestinationFiles();
                    String pathName = (String)destFiles.get(0);
        IFiles iFiles = (IFiles) iRptObj.getFiles();
        IFile myFile = (IFile) iFiles.get(0);
        logger.debug("Object: " + iRptObj.getTitle() +
                     ", ID: " + iRptObj.getID() +
                     ", Kind: " + iRptObj.getKind() +
                     ", Trigger Event: " + curEvent.getEventName());
        logger.debug("Dest: " + pathName);
        logger.debug("Filename: " + myFile.getName());
    while this is not efficient, it does retrieve the instances. However, the file name returned is not what was specified in the destination filename. Here is some info returned and displayed:
    Object: ALOG_Deferred_Clearing_RPT, ID: 128776, Kind: Pdf, Trigger Event: EVT_121311_114308
    Dest: /apps/efs_bobj/IMPL/XX/%SI_NAME%_%SI_STARTTIME%.%EXT%
    FileName: ~ce46086dd492ac788.pdf
    As you can see, the filename is clearly the managed filename.
