How to get data from function module in crystal report

Hi,
I installed Crystal Reports 2008 and BO SAP Integration kit for CR.
I connected successfully to SAP system from CR but unable to get the data into Report ...
But data is present in function module.
Could you please tell me what may be the reason ...!!
Thanks
Raghavendra

Hi,
I connected successfully to SAP system from CR but unable to get the data into Report with all the Input parameters and data is present in function module.
Note: - If we take Start date as input parameter in Crystal report data is coming for single parameter, whereas we take input parameters like Partner function, Region and Customer - we are not getting data. (These fields we created parameters in Crystal report)
In Function Module IMPORT Parameters are below mentioned and Export parameter is Blank
                                                                                Start Date (Mandatory field)
                                                                                Partner Function (Mandatory)
                                                                                Region
                                                                                Customer

Dynamic Sorting on Multiple filed in Crystal report 2008

Hi
I am using Crystal report 2008 sp3 full build with hotfix 3.3 along with ASP.NET 2.0
I have implimented the multi filed sorting using the record sort export and setting the sort order in the report designer.
Now my requirement is such that i would like to have dynamic sorting on multiple fileds while report is displayed in the UI.
Means suppose i have a report with Customer region,name,city,rating,status etc.
Now by using the sort control i would like to have the functionality in such a way that if user
a) first sorts on the region then the records should be first sorted by region
b) then sorts on the city then the records should be sorted first by region then by city
c) now sorts on the rating then the records should be sorted first by region ,second by city and then by rating
Now other user may do
a) first sorts on the rating then the records should be first sorted by rating
b) then sorts on the status then the records should be sorted first by rating then by status
c) now user sorts on the region then the records should be sorted first by rating,second by status and then by region
and so on the sorting criteria changes from user to user through the UI.
Is there any way to achieve the dynamic kind of sorting with Crytsal report 2008 where we can set the order of the fileds at sorting in UI dynamically .The sorting order of the fields are not known at the time of design of the report and its completely depends on the user's need.
Please let me know if you require any information on the same.

smitha

Hello,
   Good Day!
   Thanks for your answer.
   Could you please explain me in detail how to achieve this functionality?
   Do i need to create a static parameter?
   I get my data set through the command option in crystal report.So i think i need to go by formula in the report.
   i am just putting down the steps to follow.Please correct me if i am wrong.
step1 :Create s static parameter with the name SORT.
step2: create the formula as you have mentioned like
    (IF {?Sort}='Vendor Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}& " "& {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_remt_key}
    & " " & {@date}
   else
    IF {?Sort}='Invoice Number' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_invno}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
    " " &{@date}
   else
   IF {?Sort}='Invoice Amount' THEN {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.ap_vchr_amtc}& " " & {Pr_Voucher_Status;1.Vendor_Key}&
     " " &{@date})
    I could not understand what this formula is really doing .
    Could you please tell me what the following names indicates? :
              Pr_Voucher_Status :- Table/Command name ??
              Vendor Number,Invoice Number etc.. :- ??
             Vendor_Key,ap_vchr_invno,ap_vchr_amtc .. :- Filed names ??
             use of 1.{} :- ??
step3: place the below formula in the page header to display the sort order
    (if {?SORT}='Vendor Number' then "Vendor Number, Remit To, Invoice Date"
          else if {?SORT}='Invoice Number' then "Invoice Number, Vendor Number, Invoice Date"
          else if {?SORT}='Invoice Amount' then "Invoice Amount, Vendor Number, Invoice Date") .
Note:-My report does not have grouping.Do i need to have grouping?
in this case how the sort control will work ?
As i have mentioned in the first post the order of sorting is completely depends on the user's perspective .
The report is used by the whole organization ..
i mean the people with different roles like Manger,Team leads,modul leads,developers ,testers etc..
the usage of report varies according to the roles so the sort order also.

smitha.

Getting an error trying to install Crystal Reports 2008 on a 64 bit Windows

reformatted my computer and now I'm trying to install Crystal Reports 2008 on 64 bit windows 7 box. When the "Registering modules" portion of the install comes up, I get a message that a dll has failed to register. I saw something about not having the Microsoft Visual c++ 2005 redistributable pack (x86) installed but that was not it either.
The cd label say Crystal Reports to Crystal Reports 2008 Upgrade, but it does not seem like I have to have the older version of Crystal insatlled.
Any ideas how to fix this ?

Hello together,
i've had the same problem. Tried to install CR SP 2 "cr2008win_sp2.exe" onto an existing CR 2008 SP1 installation, and got the above error. After extracting the cr2008win_sp2.exe to an folder using Winzip (or just start Installation, the source would be extracted to "c:\temp" ), navigate to the subfolder "\package" and execute the CrystalReports.msp (in my case: c:\temp\package\CrystalReports.msp). This start's the Installation of SP 2. If you get an version mismatch, use parameter SKIP_PATCH_VERSION_CHECK=1 by typing command in an dos prompt "c:\temp\package\CrystalReports.msp SKIP_PATCH_VERSION_CHECK=1" but remember, you need to have an SP1 installed (somebody said, SP's are incremental).
Reboot and apply then the CR 2008 SP2 FixPack 7 "cr2008fp27.exe". Use this Link to Download CR and Xcelsius Stuff:
[https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm]
I would suggest you not to use IE for downloading, use an alternative browser. I got only bad downloads (IE8 on Win7).
This is the way i did and this works pretty good.
Good Luck

How to overcome the Memory leakage issue in crystal report 2008 SP2 setup.

I have developed the small windows based application tool with help of Visual studio 2008 for identify the memory consumption of crystal report object. It helps to load the crystal report objects in the memory and then released the object from the memory. The tool simply does the u201CLoading and Unloadingu201D the objects in the memory.
The tool will be started once u201CTest_MemoryConsumption.Exeu201D executed. The u201CTest_MemoryConsumption.Exeu201D consumes u201C9768 KBu201D memory before load the crystal report object in memory. It means, 9768 KB is normal memory consumption for run the tool.
Crystal report object initiated by the tool and object help to load the report in memory once the tool initiated the crystal report object. Now u201CTest_MemoryConsumption.Exeu201D consumes u201C34980 KBu201D memory during the crystal report object creation and report load process. The actual memory consumption of crystal report object is 34980u20139768=u201C25212u201DKBu201D.
The memory consumption u201C34980 KBu201D will be continued till the end of the process. The memory consumption will be reduced to u201C34652 KBu201D from u201C34980 KBu201D once report load process completed. It means, u201C328 KBu201D memory only released from the memory consumption. Tool enables the Release command for the crystal report object. But crystal report object does not respond to the command and will not release his memory consumption.
The memory consumption u201C34652 KBu201D will be stayed in the memory once job ends. If i again initiate the crystal report object then it crystal report object start to consume the memory from 34652 KB.
Database objects and crystal report objects are properly used in the tool. The object release commands properly communicated to crystal report setup. But the u201CCrystal report service pack 2u201D setup unable to respond the commands which has enabled from .Net Tool. Crystal report objects are properly initiated and disposed in the tool. But the crystal report unable to release from the server.
The memory consumption will be reduced once the server restarted or kill the application.
Crystal report 2008 and crystal report 2008 SP2 setup available in the server.
Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 SP2, Microsoft .Net Framework 3.0 SP2 and Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 are available in the server,
Could you please suggesst how to avoid the memory consumption keep increasing and how to release the memory consumption once the crystal object disposed???

Hi Don..
My case is different one. I hope, the problem with Run time Installation setup file (Crystal report 2008 Serivce Pack2 installer) which we installed in the server.
Let me explain with Live scenario which our client faced in crystal report 2008 Service pack2 Installer.
Our client is using a application to help to print their reports. The application is developed with Windows service.
Windows service keep on running in the server. Windows service executes the client 's crystal reports( Labels Report, Stock report) which designed for clients need and the reports will be printed from printer.
10 Same type report (Label Report) will be printed in 1 minute. Reports are not printing during non business hours. But the windows service keep on running. Memory cosumption of application will be 160 MB in business hours.
For Example, On Monday the application memory consumption starts with 160 MB. The Memory consumption will be reached 165 MB in peak business hours. Then the memory will be ended in163 MB in the End of Monday. It means, The memory consumption will be in 163 MB during the non business hours. Reports will not be printed in non business hours.
On Tuesday, the application memory consumption starts with 163 MB and it will be reached 168 MB during the peak hours. The Memory consumption will be ended in 165 MB in the end of Tuesday. The same process contiues till friday. End of friday, the memory consumption of the application will be ended with 170 MB.
Application Memory Consumption slowly increasing in the server. In 5 days, Memory consumption reached Threshold value (170 MB) of the server. Application gets hanged up once the memory consumption reached 170 MB. We got the error messages as "Attempted to read write protected memory " / "Not Enough memory for process". If we restart server / If we restart the service then memory consumption of application get reduced to 160 MB.
From the above scenario, We came know that the either the problem with Application object or the problem crystal report object. In the application, We have checked dispose methods of application objects completly. I am sure that application objects are properly disposed in the application. I hope the problem not with application objects. The problem with Crystal report objects.
Application properly communicates the dispose methods to crystal report objects. Crystal report objects are not released from
the memory.
Crystal report 2008 Serive Pack 2 setup installed in the server.
As you said, If Crystal report runtime is not released from memory then memory consumption keep increase??? In service oriented architecture application, how to unload the crystal report runtime??
Do you any fix for this kind of issue??
Willl Crystal report 2008 service pack 3 help on this issue??

How to get Oracle Form Parameter Value into Oracle Report

Hi,
Please guide for the following:
On a form, there is one Control Block (CB1), having two TEXT ITEMS, namely From_Date & To_Date respectively. The user inputs from and to dates, for example From_Date: 01-JAN-2009 and To_Date: 31-DEC-2009 and then press "Print Report" button.
I want to get From_Date & To_Date in the report, as per below mentioned heading:
SALES REPORT
From: 01-JAN-2009 To: 31-DEC-2009
Regards,

You can use ADD_PARAMETER builtin,
The following example creates a parameter List, adds two parameters to it, and then passes the List to a form by way of the CALL_FORM procedure:
<pre>
/** Declare a variable of type ParamList to store ** the parameter List ID */
DECLARE
PARAM_ID ParamList;
BEGIN
/* ** Create a parameter List named "input_params" */
PARAM_ID := Create_Parameter_List('input_params');
/* ** Add two parameters to the List to pass values for each user-defined parameters defined in the target form; for each parameter, specify its key, type (text or data), and value */
Add_Parameter(PARAM_ID, 'FROM_DATE'', TEXT_PARAMETER, to_char(:CB1.From_Date, 'DD-MON-RRRR'));
Add_Parameter(PARAM_ID, 'TO_DATE', TEXT_PARAMETER, to_char(:CB1.To_Date, 'DD-MON-RRRR'));
/* ** Now call the report, referencing the parameter List ID ** in the last argument to the report calling procedure */
END;
</pre>

Print Multiple Parameter Value in Crystal Report 2008

Hello and Hi
i want to select multiple warehouse in a pramater , i select and report working but parameter print only first parameter value on report.how can print all selected values on report

Hi
I am assuming you select warehouses WH1,WH2,WH3,.......
You have to create a formula in Crystal
It should look like this
Join({?YourParamaterName},",")
Place the formula on your report.
The last Part of the formula is the "notation break" between every parameter returned. In this case a > , <
Return would be WH1,WH2,WH3,.......
Join({?YourParamaterName},"#") would return WH1#WH2#WH3#.......
Hope you get the idea
If this solution helps, please rate me.

How do you insert a "prior period" in Crystal Reports 2008

I am constructing a income statement that compares this current period versus the same period from last year. I used the parameter field and filter list for one time period. Is it possible to have a comparison time period on the same report.
For example Revenue and Expense amounts for the 2nd Qtr of 2010 and on the same report on the next column 2nd Qtr Revenue and Expenses for the 2nd Qtr of 2009?
Thanks for any help
jim

Not sure how your parameters are working but assuming you have a date range and you enter
01/01/2010, 31/03/2010
Your select statement will look like
(DateField = {?daterangeParam} or
datefield in dateadd("yyyy", -1, minimum({?daterangeParam}) ) to dateadd("yyyy", -1, maximum({?daterangeParam}) ) )
Wrap in brackets to include other filters, this should get parsed to SQL with out any impact on performance

Not able to get the tables in crystal report 2008

Hi,
I am using crystal report 2008 and trying to connect MS SQL using OLE DB (ADO) connection. After giving all DB credentials data base tables are not appearing in the connection. how to get the tables for selection in crystal report 2008.
Regards,
Sree

In the CR Designer, select the connection and press the right mouse button. Select Options in the context menu and check if there is an entry in the Table name fiel. Maybe you have a placeholder there that does not match the names of the tables in the database. Just remove it, close the window by pressing OK and refresh the connection browser (press F5). Unfold the connection again and check if you can see the tables now.

In OBIEE 11G, how to get the special parameter created by JAVA?

Hi Experts,
In OBIEE 11G, how to get the special parameter created by JAVA?
For example:
In JAVA , it has set one parameter named 'test'.
So how to get the parameter in filter area in OBIEE?

Hi Kobe,
No P2 holds the parameter name like PresentationTable.ColumnName, in your form you may go for complete name or just column name and before submitting the form you can define the Action url.
I would suggest to read section 6.3.2.1.
ex:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
changeAction(url) {
var TestVar = form.inputbox.value;
document.this_form.action="saw.dll?Go&Path=/Shared/Test/SB2&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=like&P2=Customers.Region&P3="+TestVar;
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME="myform" ACTION="" METHOD="GET">Enter something in the box: <BR>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="inputbox" VALUE=""><P>
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="button" Value="Click" onClick="changeAction(this.value)">
</FORM>
If helps pls mark.

How to get relationship between two views in the reports

How to get relationship between two views in the reports, I am doing a deletion program , it is fully relates to views , how to get relationship between them in the reports

Hi,
Please explain your question in detail...what do you want to read ?
If you want to know about the navigation links between the views then you can use APIs like
wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("windowName").getViewUsageByID("Name").getNavigationLinks();
Iterate through the navigationLinkInfo from above collection and can read the other properties .
I haven't tried the above , but it should work !!!
