How to keep file name in print queue when printing crystal report

We are using VB .Net 2003 + Crystal Report 2008 SP2 up to Fix Pack 2.6
When the VB program spools crystal report files to print queue, the print queue only shows "Crystal Report" for each document. How to keep the original file name? In the past when we were using Crystal Report 11, the original file name can be shown in the print queue.
Please help because it's so important for operation to see which report is failed in printing when reports are printed in batch.
Thanks

Hello,
Set the PrintOption.JobTitle value for the print job. Here's C# code on how to:
               System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument pDoc = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptions rasPROpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptionsClass();
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions newOpts = new PrintOptionsClass();
               pDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
               rasPROpts.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
               rasPROpts.PaperSize = (CrPaperSizeEnum)
                    pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes[cboCurrentPaperSizes.SelectedIndex].Kind;
            // this sets the name of the print job
            rasPROpts.JobTitle = "MYPrintJob";
               rptClientDoc.PrintOutputController.PrintReport(rasPROpts);
               MessageBox.Show("Printing report.", "RAS", MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Information );
Thank you

"The process cannot access the file ..." occurs when export crystal report

We are using a web application developed in VS 2005, .NET 2.0 with the bundled Crystal Reports version 10.2.3600.0 running on a Windows 2003 Standard server with 4GB Ram and Dual CPU's. Periodically we are still receiving the following error in our production environment:
InnerException:
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
   at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportSourceClass.Export(ExportOptions pExportOptions, RequestContext pRequestContext)
   at CrystalDecisions.ReportSource.EromReportSourceBase.ExportToStream(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.ExportToStream(ExportRequestContext reqContext)
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.ExportToStream(ExportOptions options)
   at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType formatType)
This is occuring at the point on the code where the report is being exported to a PDF. Exporting the report to Excel does not appear to cause the error.
                Stream outStream = report.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
                byte[] charStream = new byte[outStream.Length];
                outStream.Read(charStream, 0, (int)outStream.Length);
                if ((charStream != null) && (charStream.Length > 0))
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream.Write(charStream, 0, charStream.Length);
                    HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
            report.Close();
            report.Dispose();
            ds.Dispose();
            GC.Collect();
Closing and disposing of the report and dataset (xsd) are followed by a call for garbage collection. We are unable to produce the error in our development environmennt and have not at this point been unable to pinpoint a problematic report. The development team members do have SP1 installed. The report limit has not been changed from the standard of 75 jobs. Reviewed the following document, Re: "The process cannot access the file ..." occurs when export crystal report However this applies to VS 2008. Any suggestions to resolve the issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Good morning Joe

To answer your questions:
Is it correct to presume that the physical number of CPU's is not factored into the CPL? So that a Server with 2 or more processors does not increase the 3 concurrent requests? Therefore 2 CPU's would not increase the CPL limit to 6 processes?
- Server with 2 or more processors does not increase the 3 concurrent requests.
What would be an alternate solution to this limit be, considering the report requests could increase significantly?
- Only way around this would be to web farm the solution
If only only 3 reports can be processed at the same time. If one or more of the reports currently processing is taking longer due to receiving large amounts of data, how does that affect the queue? And what is stored in the queue, data and/or the report? Is this something that could consume memory?
- The report can take as much time as it needs. The result is that one license will not be released until the report is done. There is no data stored, just a pointer to the report. However queued apps will chew up memory, some times to the point of the server becoming unresponsive
I have read in the documentation on this site, that the dataset sent to the engine is copied in memory during report construction. So if a large amount of data is requested for a report (as an example 10+ MB) Could enough users requesting reports drive the memory up because memory usage doubled due to the dataset?
- Absolutely. See [Crystal Reports Guide to ADO.NET|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/401c4455-a31d-2b10-ae96-fa57af5aec20].
Understanding the the CR DLL's are loaded on the first report request, do they get released at some point time due to inactivity or garbage collection? How much memory usage could be consumed when they load and stay resident?
- No they do not. Not as long as the application is running.

How to keep file name on "Insert as new"

Random print jobs showing up in print queue when printing...

Whenever I print something, one or two other random files will show up in the print queue. The printer will not try and print these additional jobs, and it does not prevent another print job from printing, but each time more random files will show up. The print queue will fill up with these additional jobs until they are manually deleted. What a pain. Does anyone have a solution???

These random files can be communication files and are used to interogate the printer about its status. Typically they will be processed by the printer and then vanish from the print queue. So if they are not being processed and you are having to manually remove them then there could be a setting in the printer that needs to be changed or you have to check from an updated driver.
To confirm if it is the printer queue / driver that is checking the status, you can open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and select Printers in the left column. You can then select the printer in the top right pane and see its information in the bottom right pane (or if this is the only printer you have the information will appear in the right pane). You will see an entry called Printer Commands. If it shows something like Report Levels then this confirms that these files you are seeing are for checking the printer status.

How to change the name of a Box Object in Crystal Reports 2008

I am trying to change the name of a box object in a crystal report - 2008. This report was originally developed by consultants and requires that certain boxes be named according to a specific naming convention. I am making a change to the report and need to add a box with a name that matches the naming convention. This is so some program functionality will work for the new box. I can't contact the consultants because they don't work with our company anymore.
Does anybody have any ideas? I've tried 'Format Box', but it won't let me change the name from there. I also tried it in the Report Explorer but to no avail.
Thanks,
Joanne

Hi Joanne,
Boxes do not actually have a 'name'. When you add a Box in a report, it will be called 'Box 1' by default. And the only place this name is visible is under the Report Explorer.
Or do you mean to say 'Text Object'?

How to get file name on picture?

Hi there.
Is there a way to get the file name on the picture when exporting or "save as" my pictures? I am going to run a web site where people can order pictures and it will be much easier if I can have LR "printing" the file name on the picture.
Regards,
Deon

Deon,
I would try having this done by the web gallery itself (not on but below the picture). LR web galleries offer that option while building them.
If you cannot achieve this, the most common way of putting metadata onto a picture during LR export is by using the LR/Mogrify 2 PlugIn.

How to place file names with thumbnails?

I have several thousand images that need to go online but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add file names to the thubnails. Every bit of documentation I've read talks about adding it to the larger images only. I figured that part out but can't I have file names for the thumbnails too?

Bummer. I was hoping for a secret key to take me there. I have too
many images that can be scanned via thumbnails and for the detail
shots they can go larger. There is no way I can use this as it is with
9000+ images that need to be gone through quickly. Thanks for the
answer.

How to keep track of the changes done in ALV GRID Report

Hi Experts,
how to keep track of the changed record in ALV GRID Report. how to set the field to be editable even for the entire row also. Can anybody guide along with code also?...
Valuable answers will be rewarded.
Thanks,
Satish.

Hi,
Access the table through SM30. It comes blank as standard. Click "New Entries" and make entries for changes to be tracked. For example, whenever an org. unit changes 002 and 003 relationship, you will make entries like:
01 O 1001 B002 Activate box checked
01 O 1001 B003 Activate box checked
Here, 01 is your active plan version, O is org. unit, 1001 is infotype and B002 and B003 are the subtypes. You can also use * for infotype and subtype which means every change will be logged.
If you then run the report RHCDOC_DISPLAY through SA38, it will pick up all the changes pertaining to B002 and B003 relationship for org. units (in the above example).
Similarly, you can set up this table for other object types.
For more information, follow SPRO>Personnel Management>OM>Basic Settings>Activate change documents and go through the documentation for that node. Also, read up the documentation for the report.
Hope this helps.

How can I change the fonts in "contacts" when printing mail labels

How can I change the fonts in "contacts" when printing mail labels ? I used to be able to do this but in Mavericks this ability seems to have gone away. Am I missing something ?

Actually in my case it doesn't work. I used to be able to pull up the font window with it but the button merely flickers when I click it. The image selection button and font color both are functional. WEIRD. I don't think this is a Mavericks issue as I recall having it come up with one of my user profiles before installing. Now I can't make it happen with either of my user profiles.
I don't seem to have printing issues in other applications. And I recently reset the fonts in a futile attempt to correct this.
I may post a new topic in Mail Contacts and Calendar if there is no response here after a bit.

File Name Associations Drop Out When Changing Project Name

Posting on behalf of a colleague. He's using Robohelp X5 on a
Windows XP computer.
"We have frequent occasions in which we must take an existing
online help project (ABC_001, for example), make some
tweaks/additions/omissions, and release a revised online help
project (ABC_002). We have been cloning the existing help project
(ABC_001), renaming the project, making the necessary changes to
the help project, adding or deleting map IDs in .hh files as
necessary, importing revised .hh files as necessary, and then
releasing the project under the new name. We want to maintain map
ID numbers and assignments (25ANG1, Map #: 640, File name:
Synchronism Check#25ANG1) from ABC_001 to ABC_002, but the File
name associations drop out when we change the project name. It is
then a laborious process to go through the list and reassign all
the topics to the appropriate File names. Is there any way to
maintain topic labels with their map ID numbers and their File name
associations from one project to another?"
TIA

My colleague's reply:
"I discovered that it requires just one more step in the help
project before I can actually see the file name
associations/aliases again. I have to recompile, as Colum
recommended, but then I have to close down RoboHelp and reopen the
project. Then, if I am in Project View and navigate to
Context-Sensitive Help/Map Files/All Map IDs, I can see all of the
file name associations again. Thank you, Colum, for your
help!"

How do I remove top and bottom margins when printing using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.

How do I remove top and bottom margins when printing using Adobe Acrobat XI Standard. (I selected 'Fit to scale' and there's a huge gap on the top and bottom).

Those margins are usually reported from the printer settings to Acrobat. Meansif you have, for example, an inkjet printer and that printer can not print seamlessly, then there will be a minimum margin.
Check your printer's page settings.
