How to generate Bar codes from Crystal Report

I understand that Bar Codes can be genrated from Crystal reports. I am using CR 2008 and trying to convert my Inventory items to bar codes. it does convert it and I can see the bar codes but it looks like; just a garbage and scanner does not recognze it plus the numners are missing @ the bottom.
Anybody has ever tried this and have some simple instructions to start with.
Any help will be appreciated highly.
Regards,

Hi,
What barcode are you using and what barcode font?
If you are using Code39 or Postnet then you need to make sure your values are formatted properly by creating a formula and using the barcode functions.
Have a search in the forum for barcodes. It's been talked about a lot and you should find your solution.
Good luck,
Brian

How to generate Income Statement from Crystal Report

Hi, Experts,
I have:
SAP BUSINESS ONE 2007A
CRYSTAL REPORT 2008
I have a problem with generating Income Statement related reports from CRYSTAL.
For example,
My revenue accounts are: '411000-00-00' and '412000-00-00', my expense accounts are: '510000-00-00' and '520000-00-00'.
I'd like to generate the Income statement for Dec 1 - 31, 2008. Please advise how to generate this report. Thanks!
Lorrie

Hi, Experts,
Currently, what I tested to generate the income statement is:
1. find out the account detail table: JDT1. My database path: Company Name -> dbo -> Tables -> JDT1
2. follow the standard report menu: add 'JDT1', show 'RefDate', 'ContraAct'; group by'Account', summarize by 'Account'.
I have the following problems:
1. with this method, I am not able to find the amount for each transaction. Because the amount does not have a name as 'RefDate' or some other fields.
2. the 'Account' and 'ContraAct' are all shown as 'SYS00000001685'. It's sysmtem message but not the actual account number or contra account number.
Thanks!

How Web intelligence is differ from Crystal reports

How Web intelligence is differ from Crystal reports

it depends on what's the business requirement that will influence what kind of reporting format you want to use.
to list few differences:
1. CR more suitable for complex reports webi used more for general adhoc tor quick reporting.
2. CR can be published to enterprise or can be saved to the disk and can be accessed using crystal reports SDK: CRJ or CR.NET. Where as webi is strictly accesses only via Enterprise. There are no webi SDKs for accessing webi reports in unmanaged ( not published to enterprise) mode.
3. CR SDK\ RAS more powerful than Report Engine SDK( used for webi)
4. To view a CR you can use page server and cache server. To view a webi report, you use only webi processing server, no cache server available in BO framework. Similar for scheduling webi reports its the webi processing server that does it all.
5. CR offers more options to connect to database than for webi.
6. CR has mutliple 3rd party exporting formats. Webi has fewer.
7. CR can be designed from CR designer desktop tool, or CR.com or on demand or using RAS SDK ( at runtime). Webi report can be designed in webi rich client desktop tool or java reporting panel( JRP) available in Infoview or any app that can load this JRP applet. in 3.1 you can use Java Report Engine SDK to create webi report from scratch at runtime ( like RAS for CR).
So not that 1 is better than other, it really depends on your business requirements are.

How do I convert the following code from crystal reports to Reporting Services?

stringvar rbt := "";
if { param} = -1 then rbt := "ALL | " else rbt := {rptStoreMasterByDC;1.RegionName} + " | ";
if {param2} = -1 then rbt := rbt + "ALL | " else rbt := rbt + {rptStoreMasterByDC;1.BranchName} + " | ";
if {param3} = -1 then rbt := rbt + "ALL" else rbt := {rptStoreMasterByDC;1.TerritoryName};
rbt

Add a customer code in the report. Call it from the report tablix cell using expression. Pass param,param2,param3, RegionName, BranchName, TerritoryName as parameters of the custom function/procedure.
Refer http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156028.aspx
The custom code will look like as below.
Public Function ChangeWord(ByVal param As Integer,ByVal param2 As Integer,ByVal param3 As Integer,ByVal RegionName As String,ByVal BranchName As String,ByVal param As Territory) As String
Dim s as string
If param = -1 then s = "ALL |" else s = RegionName & "|"
If param2 = -1 then s = s & "ALL |" else s = BranchName & "|"
If param3 = -1 then s = s & "ALL" else s = TerritoryName
Return s
End Function

How to retrieve Statistics info from Crystal Report file

In Crystal Reports designer, if you go to File|Summary Info that dialog has two tabs. The second tab is called "Statistics" which contains the following:
Last Saved By
Revision number
Total Editing Time
Last Printed
Created
Last Saved
How can I retrieve this information via either the .NET SDK or the RAS SDK?

Hi David,
Actually I did understood your question. I did say that some of that info is available from the hard drive file system.
Use the Object Browser and find this source:
public System.DateTime CreationTime { set; get; }
Member of System.IO.FileSystemInfo
Looking at the properties you'll see all the info you are looking for is there. As I said, some of the info is available from the Summary API's and some are available from the file system. The file system is not CR but basic Microsoft API's. Search their help for more info on how to use them.
Thank you

How to generate GUI code from parsed XML file?

hai,
I have to generate GUI code after parsing any configuration XML file as input.Now i have parsed my XML file and got its attributed and i want to get some idea of how to map the parsed XML attributes to the java code to build GUI code.

Hello,
1. I like to create data type from a XML file structure, which contains the data structure ?
XML fields will need to be taken note of to see which is repeating or not. You can also load the XML into a third-party tool such as Altova XML Spy and then generate an XSD from there. You will need to import the XSDs into PI under external definitions. However, this does not guarantee business interoperability, as such, it is always best to ask the provider for the XSDs or WSDL. It will also save you a lot of time from guessing which fields are needed or not.
2. How to create custom node function in graphical mapping editor ?
In your graphical mapping editor, on the lowest left corner, there is an icon there that says Create New Function. You must take into account their return types:
1. Single Values = String
2. Queue/Context (no return type) thus resultList is used.
Hope this helps,
Mark

How to protect ECC performance from Crystal Reports execution?

Hello,
We built Crystal Reports (CR) which reports from SAP FI InfoSets. These reports may take a long time to execute and potentially can impact all ECC users.
AFAIK CR are executed in dialog mode on ECC.
We know that from CR perspective we can only limit the number of records returned.
One of the options is to create a dedicated application server instance for CR. But it looks like a costly one.
Other options:
Move data to BW every 15 minutes and execute reports from there.
Schedule reports at night to minimize users impact.
We are using ECC 6 EP3, BW 3.5, BOE XI 3.1 (with SAP Integration Kit) and Crystal Reports 2008.
Can you please let me know if any of you have the same challenge.
Thank you,
Serge

Hi Ingo,
I'm using [BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solutions Installation and Administration Guide|https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700001646962008E/xi3-1_bip_sap_install_en.pdf] (from 2008-12-02). There are some references to batch publishing from BW. The same applies to your document [BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP - Installation and ConfigurationSDN Community Day - BusinessObjects Enterprise with SAP|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a00ee3b2-5283-2b10-f1bf-8c6413e0898f].
When we schedule CR in BOE it still runs in dialog mode on ECC.
Could you please be more specific where we can define switch to make it run as background process on ECC.
Thank you,
Sergey

How B.I accelerator differs from Crystal Reports

Hi B.I's,
I like to know which (B.I accelerator or Crystal Reports ) has better perfomance and fastest query response time

Hi Bala,
We have the BI Accelerator for high performance analytics (i.e. hardware and extra license fees) to make your large queries respond quickly.
SAP BI Accelerator comes into picture to address performance problems of BI queries.It is a plug-in appliance delivering:
*Scalability in terms of expandable blade hardware infrastructure delivered by IBM or HP.Its used in all cases where aggregates can be used
Real Time Info cubes:closed requests can be indexed by SAP netweaver BIA and open request will be read 4m database.
Multi Provider:An indexed infocube as a part of multi provider will use BIA.Note overall query performance is defined by slowest Infocube in a MP enviornment.
The tool used to create formatted reports is the Crystal Reports Designer, which is installed on the client.
Before BW depends on Crystal reports to format reports.With BI 7.0 we don't need to depend on Crystal reports to format reports.we can format reports with Report designer.
My perception with BIA is that this is a mistake in product marketing for SAP. It makes it sound like if you have lot of data, you're going have performance problems so you need to invest in additional hardware and we are going charge you an additional license because the one you already bought doesnt do the job. SAP needs to rethink this.

Can anyone let me know where is the problem?

Actually, the question boils down to; does the framework support the fonts?
I believe that my question re. this working in the designer was valid. The designer does not use the framework, so if it works there, it is either a framework issue or a runtime print engine issue.
I believe if you use the code below, it will list fonts available to the framework:
foreach(FontFamily ff in FontFamily.Families)
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ff.Name);
For more information see kbase [1198306 - Crystal Report displaying incorrect font in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333133393338333333303336%7D.do]

How to print directly to Printer from Crystal Report Viewer ?

Hi All,
We are integrating our Java Web Application with Crystal report XI, currently using JRC and export to PDF for user to preview and print to local printer.
Now there is new requirement :
Some clients is using thin client terminal (no harddisk, only has OS +Browser in ROM), so I cannot install Acrobat Reader for them to preview&print the report.
So I am looking at Crystal Report Viewer, the question is : Can I print from Crystal Report Viewer directly to local printer without first converting it to PDF (because I can't have acrobat reader installed) ??
Thank you very much,
Krist

Hi,
It can't be achieved through XI.
JRCXI R2 SDK offers the ability to print the report server side
using the PrintOutputController using printReport(PrintReportOptions printReportOptions) method.
Here is the code(for XIR2):
import="com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.*"
import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.*"
import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.document.*"
try {
final String REPORT_NAME = "Inventory.rpt";
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(REPORT_NAME, 0);
//Create and set print options.
PrintReportOptions printOptions = new PrintReportOptions();
//Note: Printer with the 'printer name' below must already be configured.
printOptions.setPrinterName("
10.10.45.220
BOBJ 2C");
printOptions.setJobTitle("Sample Print Job from JRC.");
printOptions.setPrinterDuplex(PrinterDuplex.horizontal);
printOptions.setPaperSource(PaperSource.auto);
printOptions.setPaperSize(PaperSize.paperLetter);
printOptions.setNumberOfCopies(1);
printOptions.setCollated(false);
PrintReportOptions.PageRange printPageRange = new PrintReportOptions.PageRange(1,1);
printOptions.addPrinterPageRange(printPageRange);
//NOTE: If parameters or database login credentials are required, they need to be set before.
//calling the printReport() method of the PrintOutputController.
reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().printReport(printOptions);
reportClientDoc.close();
out.println("Successfully sent report to the printer.");
catch(ReportSDKException ex) {
out.println(ex);
Please revert in case you have any query.
Thanks,
Neeraj

How do I connect from Crystal Report version XI to Oracle 10G express?

I'm new to oracle 10G express and I'm developing an application that needs reports to preview some data from oracle tables.
The oracle database is installed on the server and I installed the client on my machine. I need to use the crystal report 11 to report the output. Thus, I designed a crystal report that should simply read a table on oracle and though I need to be able to connect to the oracle 10G Express Edition database. I tried to create a connection from the crystal report using the Database Expert >> Create New Connection >> Oracle Server and I include the following parameters.:
- Service: host:1521/XE
- Username: username
- Password: password
Then when I tried to connect the crystal report crashes always.
Is there any way to create a connection to the Oracle Database 10G express from Crystal Report 11?
Please advise...

Thank you bala,

How to configure the tnsnames.ora on the client side?
tnsnames.ora content:

Now I`m trying to initialize this on one machine (database & client) and so the crystal report will be on the same machine where the database exist; Additionally, this machine has OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and include the Oracle 10g Express Database & Oracle 10g Express Client software.
Please check the files content I included above and give me the way on how to establish a connection from the crystal report to the database where both are installed on the same machine.
Thanks in advance...
