How to make a common parameter for two subreports in the main report.

Hi,
I have a crystal report which has 2 subreports in it. Both the subreports have the same code and I need to create a parameter for Project Cost in both the subreports for filtering the data.
When i create the same parameter in both the subreports, i see two parameters with same name on my prompt page while refreshing the report. however I just want 1 parameter on my prompt page and data should get filtered in both the reports.
Can anyone please suggest something, How can I do that? is there a way for sharing same parameter between two subreports?
Thanks!
Neha.

hi Neha,
here's how to do this:
1) create a new parameter with the same name on the main report
2) right click on your first subreport and choose Change Subreport Links
3) in the Field to Link To list drag over your new main report parameter
4) open the Subreport Parameter Field to Use select menu and choose your subreport parameter
5) repeat steps for the 2nd subreport
now you'll only get prompted once.
cheers,
jamie

  • How to know how many rows including headers and footers does subreport has from Main Report

    Hi, we are sturuggling with subreports. Main report has 3 subreports, each subreport is inplmented in a group header(3 subreports and 3 group headers). We would like to print a group header under subreport as a column header every page, and need a page break when group number is changed. This report exports a MS Excel(97-2003) report file.
    In main report, [New After Page] is checked under Group Header #1d from [Section Expert]
    In each subreport, [Repeat Group Header On Each Page] is checked under the highest group from [Group Expert]
    Here are two issues;
    Since Crystal Reports has more rows than Excel in one page, colmun header in each subreport is being printed in the middle of the page. It should be printed at the top of the page
    When Subreport has many rows and has to be printed in more than 1 page, a page break is automatically inserted before column header. It should be printed right below column header which is Group Header #1
    We have been trying to pass row counts(count of group header because group header is used as the details) using a shared variable from Subreport 1 to Subreport 2 via main report since Subreport2 cannot predict how many rows Subreport 1 has.
    Here is what we are trying but we are getting an error which is "A constant expression is required here" under main report
    - In Sunreport 1
    whileprintingrecords;
    shared numbervar SubGroupCount := DistinctCount({Table.Field});
    - In Mainreport
    shared numbervar SubGroupCount;
    if(pagenumber) = 1
    then (SubGroupCount)
    else 50
    Is there any solutionss or better ways other than above?
    Thank you,

    Thank you for your reply and sorry for my complicated explanations. The report has confidential information, so I replaced to some fake data but I believe you can still see what I am trying to do..
    Main Report
    Subreport 2
    Output1
    Output2: the following page
         --> more rows are printed..
    We have two problems;
    1. The column header in Output2 is supposed to be pronted right below the last row in Output2, however, a page break is automatically inserted. But even in the same output document, it works for some group when it has a few rows..
    2. Since Crystal Reports prints more rows in one page than MS Excel does, Column header is not be printed at the top of the page.
    I tried the way you advised me but it did not work..

  • Controlling Record Selection for Subreports from the Main Report

    Post Author: Horizon57
    CA Forum: Formula
    Hello - I am generating a standard report template that will be applied to all of my accounts and I am connecting to an Access DB that has multiple tables. Each table corresponds to a single Subreport within my Mainreport and contains the data for all of the accounts. Essentially I would like to be able to write some logic in the Formula section of my Mainreport whereby I can control which account to run the report for based on the Account Name.  I am having sucess with this method when I change the parameters of the formula in each subreport, but how do I modify my code to allow me to control this from the mainreport.  An example of a formula is below. // Account AAA//{Subreport1.Account } = "AAA" and {Subreport2.Account } = "AAA" and {Subreport3.Account } = "AAA" and {Subreport4.Account } = "AAA"// Account BBB//{Subreport1.Account } = "BBB" and {Subreport2.Account } = "BBB" and {Subreport3.Account } = "BBB" and {Subreport4.Account } = "BBB"// Account CCC//{Subreport1.Account } = "CCC" and {Subreport2.Account } = "CCC" and {Subreport3.Account } = "CCC" and {Subreport4.Account } = "CCC" Essentially, I am looking to just uncomment the particular Account I would like to produce the report for and have that filter down to all the subreports. How do i Modify the logic? Is there a better way to approach this?

    CA Forum: Formula
    Thanks for all the responses..... Just to clarify, I am essentially trying to control the record selection of each subreport with a forumula in the mainreport. To this end I am trying to avoid having to modify the formula in each subreport to change accounts each time i need to run a set of reports. I am still not having any luck modifying the subreport links as mentioned above. The only way I have been able to control the data is with formulas in each subreport. If anyone has accomplished what I am attempting, could you post an actual formula from both the subreports and mainreport so I can try to mirror them. Also, if anyone can point me to an example where I can integrate a dialog box to automatically control the record selection (as mentioned above), that would be great. Thanks,Mike

  • How to make a DKIM signature for outgoing messages in Thunderbird (SMTP-server does not support DKIM)?

    SMTP-server does not support DKIM signature.
    How to make a DKIM signature for outgoing messages in the Thunderbird?

    I'm not familiar with this particular use of the terminology.
    Thunderbird has S/MIME support built in. You can add PGP support via the Enigmail add-on. Both offer the means to sign and encrypt messages.
    I see add-ons to support the checking of DKIM-signed incoming messages, but haven't found any yet for signing.
    Is it something that an email client is entitled to do? The Wikipædia entry says
    <blockquote>Both modules, signing and verifying, are usually part of a mail transfer agent (MTA).</blockquote>
    and that means a server, as opposed to a client (MUA).

  • How to make saved IR available for all users

    Hi,
    I've created IR and saved it to several tabs based on search conditions.
    But they're only visible for developers.
    How to make these tabs available for all end-users ?
    Does version 4.0 support this option ?
    Thank you!

    Hi
    At present this feature is not included, although I believe it may be in 4.0. Many people have provided workarounds for this. None of which I have tried. I cannot find the original thread but here is a solution from a chap called Ruud
    >
    One way to share your saved reports with others is to 'Publish' your report settings to a few intermediate tables in your application and have other users 'Import' your settings from there. The reason for using intermediate tables is so that not all your saved reports need to be 'visible' to other users (only those that you've chosen to publish).
    Basically you have available the following views and package calls that any APEX user can access:-
    - flows_030100.apex_application_pages (all application pages)
    - flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt (all saved reports - inclusing defaults and all user saved reports)
    - flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond (the associated conditions/filters for above saved reports)
    - wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_rpt (package procedure that creates a new saved report)
    - wwv_flow_api.create_worksheet_condition (package procedure that creates a condition/filter for above saved report)
    The way I've done it is that I've created 2 tables in my application schema that are straightforward clones of the 2 above views.
    CREATE TABLE user_report_settings AS SELECT * FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt;
    CREATE TABLE user_report_conditions AS SELECT * FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond;
    ( NB. I deleted any contents that may have come across to make sure we start with a clean slate. )
    These two tables will act as my 'repository'.
    To simplify matters I've also created 2 views that look at the same APEX views.
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v_report_settings AS
    SELECT r.*
    p.page_name
    FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_rpt r,
    flows_030100.apex_application_pages p
    WHERE UPPER ( r.application_name ) = <Your App Name>
    AND r.application_user 'APXWS_DEFAULT'
    AND r.session_id IS NULL
    AND p.application_id = r.application_id
    AND p.page_id = r.page_id;
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW v_report_conditions AS
    SELECT r.*
    p.page_name
    FROM flows_030100.apex_application_page_ir_cond r,
    flows_030100.apex_application_pages p
    WHERE UPPER ( r.application_name ) = <Your App Name>
    AND r.application_user 'APXWS_DEFAULT'
    AND p.application_id = r.application_id
    AND p.page_id = r.page_id;
    I then built 2 screens:-
    1) Publish Report Settings
    This shows 2 report regions:-
    - Region 1 - Shows a list of all your saved reports from V_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to only show yours)
    SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 1, report_id ) " ",
    page_name,
    report_name
    FROM v_report_settings
    WHERE application_user = :APP_USER
    AND ( page_id = :P27_REPORT OR :P27_REPORT = 0 )
    ORDER BY page_name,
    report_name
    Each row has a checkbox to select the required settings to publish.
    The region has a button called PUBLISH (with associated process) that when pressed will copy the settings from
    V_REPORT_SETTINGS (and V_REPORT_CONDITIONS) into USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (and USER_REPORT_CONDITIONS).
    - Region 2 - Shows a list of already published reports in table USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (again filtered for your user)
    SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 10, s.report_id ) " ",
    m.label,
    s.report_name
    FROM user_report_settings s,
    menu m
    WHERE m.page_no = s.page_id
    AND s.application_user = :APP_USER
    AND ( s.page_id = :P27_REPORT OR :P27_REPORT = 0 )
    ORDER BY m.label,
    s.report_name
    Each row has a checkbox to select a setting that you would like to delete from the repository.
    The region has a button called DELETE (with associated process) that when pressed will remove the selected
    rows from USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (and USER_REPORT_CONDITIONS).
    NB: P27_REPORT is a "Select List With Submit" to filter the required report page first.
    Table MENU is my application menu table where I store my menu/pages info.
    2) Import Report Settings
    This again shows 2 report regions:-
    - Region 1 - Shows a list of all published reports in table USER_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to show only other users saved reports)
    SELECT apex_item.checkbox ( 1, s.report_id ) " ",
    m.label,
    s.report_name,
    s.application_user
    FROM user_report_settings s,
    menu m
    WHERE m.page_no = s.page_id
    AND s.application_user :APP_USER
    AND ( s.page_id = :P28_REPORT OR :P28_REPORT = 0 )
    ORDER BY m.label,
    s.report_name,
    s.application_user
    Each row has a checkbox to select the setting(s) that you would like to import from the repository.
    The region has one button called IMPORT that when pressed will import the selected settings.
    It does this by using the 2 above mentioned package procedure to create a new saved report for you
    with the information form the repository. Be careful to match the right column with the right procedure
    parameter and to 'reverse' any DECODEs that the view has.
    - Region 2 - Shows a list of all your saved reports from V_REPORT_SETTINGS (filtered to only show yours)
    SELECT page_name,
    report_name
    FROM v_report_settings
    WHERE application_user = :APP_USER
    AND ( page_id = :P28_REPORT OR :P28_REPORT = 0 )
    ORDER BY page_name,
    report_name
    This is only needed to give you some feedback as to whether the import succeeded.
    A few proviso's:-
    a) I'm sure there's a better way to do all this but this works for me :-)
    b) This does not work for Computations! I have not found an API call to create computations.
    They will simply not come across into the repository.
    c) If you import the same settings twice I've made it so that the name is suffixed with (2), (3) etc.
    I did not find a way to update existing report settings. You can only create new ones.
    d) Make sure you refer to your saved reports by name, not ID, when matching APEX stored reports and the
    reports in your repository as the ID numbers may change if you re-import an application or if you
    auto-generate your screens/reports (as I do).
    Ruud
    >
    To me this is a bit too much of a hack and I personally wouldn't implement it - it's just an example to show it can be done.
    Also if you look here in the help in APEX Home > Adding Application Components > Creating Reports > Editing Interactive Reports
    ...and go to the last paragraph, you can embed predicates in the URL.

  • How to use same jco destinations for two DCS

    Hi,
        I have a scenario where two dcs are using the same function module so i have a doubt that can we make jco destinations different for two dcs or not,plz help me
    Thanks,
    Santhosh.

    Vanama
    JCO Destination names are associated with models and not DCs. You can use same or different JCO destination names across different models.
    Typically if you are using a common set of function modules(RFCs) you might decide to create one or more model (each model consisting of logically related RFCs)in one DC and use it accross different DCs(By declaring the usage of the DC in other DC and declaring model usage in a particular component). This not only will save build time during design process, but will also bring in modularity and reusability. But its purely a design decision you need to make based on your requirement.

  • How to make a portlet unvisible for another(not Owners) Users?

    Hi all,
    I (Site-Owner) have create a little Portal-Site with any portlets.
    I want to make one or two portlets(Admin-Area) unvisible for other users. But when I create a portlet as Site-Owner, then all another users can they see.
    How to make a portlet unvisible for another users?
    Regards
    Leonid Pavlov

    You can hide and show portlets of Web providers (OmniPortlet, Web Clipping, and Java portlets) on portal pages dynamically. This functionality is controlled by security managers. The PDK provides a number of security managers. For example:
    o Group security manager: The group security manager makes the portlet appear to users who are members of a specified group, while hides the portlet for those who are not members.
    o Authentication level security manager: You can use the authentication level security manager to control access to the portlets based on the user’s authentication level. For example you may hide the portlet from public users, but display it to authenticated users.
    In addition to the security managers provided by the PDK, you can build your own security managers.
    Although OmniPortlet and Web Clipping do not expose security managers through the user interface, you can apply them by editing their XML provider definition file.
    For PL/SQL portlets you can use the is_runnable method to control whether the portlet is hidden or shown.

    Hi All,
    Can anyone pls tell me "**how to make warehouse field inactive for all users in all documents without having to do it through form setting** "for each and every user. It should be visible but inactive
    Thanks & Regards,
    Mukesh Agrawal

    Hi,
    As a work around create a warehouse SelectWH and map the mandatory acoounts as a On hold account(in chart of accounts).So there will not be any posting on this account.
    And set this warehouse as default warehouse for all users.
    So without selecting the appropriate warehouse the user can not add the document.
    I think this might resolve you issue.

  • How to make jar files availabe for deployed EJBs

    Hi,
    I'm interested on how to make jar files availabe for deployed EJBs.
    My EJB is packed in an ear. It uses a util jar. I now just add the jar to the
    classpath, but I think that shouldn't be the way. Is there somthing in the admin

    if so, where do I hve to place it?
    Thanks

    Put the util.jar in the ear with your ejb jars - at the same level (i.e. in
    the root) - but do not include them in the manifest.xml.
    Also each ejb jar that refers to util.jar must have util.jar on its internal
    classpath in the manifest.

    Good morning,
    Does anyone here know how to make a background soundtrack for a Tai Chi Video in Garageband. I have been looking around at the different sounds and music in Garageband but I have not been able to find anything that would go with the video.
    Here is an example of a Tai chi video if you were wondering

    Any tips would be appreciated.

    Brandon,
    you will not have to do any importing in GarageBand. Intalling Mainstage will extent GarageBands Loop Library and Instruments Library.
    After you installed MainStage the additional loops and Instruments will show in GarageBand just like all other Loops. you will simply see more loops.
