How to Render Webi, Crystal Report ,Xcelcius and Pioneer on the NW Portal

Gurus,
How to render each of the products mentioned below on the portal ,or what are the possible ways and best approach.
example - Iview or just Link on the Netweaver portal
Webi
Crystal Report
Xcelcius
Pioneer
Thanks in advance

hi,
at the end an iView is nothing else than just a container so it is up to you to decide how you want to show the content - as a link to a new page or as an embedded page or as iView...... that should be based on the requirements.

Crystal Reports XI and Sun One 6.1 web server SP 5 Error finding JNDI name

I am trying to create a Crystal Reports XI report in a JSP using Sun One 6.1 Web server sp 5.
At this point I am getting the error �Error finding JNDI name� on Sun One
The application will run on Netbeans/Tomcat
I have done the following:
I edited CRConfig.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I created a report using JDBC (JNDI) connection and have the JNDI Connection set to the name of DATA.
The report works just fine in Crystal Reports.
Then in Netbeans I created an application and it runs in the Tomcat part of Netbeans
In context.xml I have:

Does Crystal Reports need to be on the web server?

Hello,
here's my scenario. someone who left us moved a .Net web application from server 1 to server 2 and didn't leave us notes of what he did. The report came up on server 2 fine but was not getting the right data so we changed the datasource to get the data correctly. Now we deployed the fixed version on server 2 and refreshed the web server. Now we see the correct results BUT the Business Objects icons (e.g. BO image, print icon, forward and back icon) are all "X" meaning that they could not be found.
We took a look at server 1 and it had the full version of Crystal Reports installed on it. On server 2 it looked like the DLLs were dumped into the GAC and that's all.
We're a bit perplexed by why it was working on server 2 with all the Business Objects icons even though Crystal Reports was not installed on it until we restarted the server with the fixed code. We were thinking maybe it's some sort of caching?? I've never seen this before so I'm a bit perplexed.
Any ideas on why this happened?
Thanks for taking a look.

Hello Jeff
Mysterious for sure. When you say;
no virtual directory to crystalreportviewers115 and Crystal reports is not installed on the server (except for seeing only a few CR Dll's)...so how the heck did he get it working
You're essentially saying something like;
The car has no wheels, no engine, yet somehow it managed to get from point A to point B.
Sorry to say, but it ain't happening...
The only way to get a project that includes CR to work is to deploy the CR runtime. Either via MSI file where a simple double click will install the runtime and configure the viewer directory under the default app pool, or via a setup project you build using the CR MSM files. Again the files will be installed and the viewer directory configured under the default app pool. If your app is under a custom app pool, you need to configure the viewer folder under that pool as the install has no idea about non default app pools.

Redistributable components of crystal report 11 and Crystal Report 2013

Currently we are facing a peculiar problem where we are having a report with 5 tables and connected using the default crystal report db connectivity.
The report was created in a very old version of crystal report 8.5 and we have been migrating the same to latest versions.
When i execute the report from my Application using crystal report 11 run-time components installed it works perfectly (5 Secs). In this we were using the viewer ole control embedded in our application.
But when the same report is opened up from the application using the crystal report 2013 run-time components there is performance lag of 15 Secs every time using the viewer as separate control using C# .net framework 4.0.
Also Installing crystal report 11 run-time and then installing crystal report 2013 run-time resolves the issue.
Can someone let me know if we are missing something.
Thanks & Regards,
Satish VS

Hi Bhushan
Thanks for your prompt reply
- The old application was it a .NET or COM SDK app?
Old application uses the COM SDK App ( CrystalRuntime.Application) developed in VB & consumed the same as an Ole object in Power builder.
- What version of VS are you using? (Earlier and now).
Earlier With Crystal report 11 we were directly deploying the viewer as ole control in our Powerbuilder application
Now we are using VS2010 with .net framework 4.0 as separate viewer control
- Is this a windows or a web application?
Its an windows application
- Provide the version no of CR 11 you used earlier?
Old Application uses crystal report 11.0.0.1282
- There are no runtimes for crystal report 2013, so could you please provide the version no for the crystal report 2013 runtimes you are using? You could check the file version of crystaldesicions.crystalreport.engine assembly.
Yes we are using crystaldecision run-time and the version is 13.0.2000.0 & Runtime version - v2.0.50727
- As runtimes, did you use MSM, MSi or ClickOnce CR runtimes do deploy your application?
We were using this CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi as a pre-requisite before deploying our application.
-Also, if you could elaborate on how did you upgrade / migrate the application and deployed it, would be helpful.
In my old application we would be using the default crystal report 11 merge module to be deployed alongwith our application msi.
To upgrade they would install the CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi and then deploy our application msi.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Thanks in advance.

Satish VS

Crystal Reports 9 and SQL Server 2005 default parameter values

We're using Crystal Reports 9 and upgraded from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.
I'm noticing a very weird problem which I wonder if anyone else has experienced (and hopefully found a resolution for). It appears that in using Crystal with SQL Server 2005 stored procedures, if we have default parameter values in the stored procedures, the default parameter values get completely ignored if you pass in a NULL value from Crystal!
For example, if you have a stored procedure that begins like this:
ALTER Procedure [dbo].[StoredProcedure]
@Param1 VarChar(200) = '',
@Param2 VarChar(200) = ''
AS ...
both @Param1 and @Param2 have a default value of an empty string, and therefore should become empty strings if nothing (NULL values) gets passed in for them.
But, like I said, what I'm finding is that with Crystal calling the stored procedure with NULL @Param1 and @Param2 values, they never become empty strings, but rather remain as NULLs.
This was never a problem with SQL 2000.
Very perplexing. Anyone else every experience this?
Thank you.

Please ignore my earlier post -- answered my own question.
NULL parameter values do not get replaced by default values in SQL -- that is normal behavior in both SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Just goes to show, that no many how many years programming experience you have, you can still get tripped up sometimes : (

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.

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.
Regards,
Pradeep

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.

Crystal Reports 9 and Dot Net 2 SP2

We have a VB6 application that uses Crystal Reports 9 and makes a call to DB2. When we patched the Windows 2003 server it runs on to Dot Net 2 SP2, the call to DB2 would hang. If we removed the patch, the problem goes away. Microsoft said this is a Crystal issue not a dot net issue so they referred me to this site. Has anyone seen anything like this or have any suggestions as to how to get around this? Our Infrastructure Admins would like to get Dot Net 2 SP2 on ths server so I can't leave it unpatched indefintiely. Thanks

Hi Brian,
Moved your post to the Legacy SDK forum.
Which report engine are you using in your app?
Cr 9 is end of support long time ago so nothing we can do to fix this other than to upgrade to CR for .NET components. Or possibly CR XI R2 and the RDC if that is what you are using.
What error do you get?

Crystal Reports 2008 and Postscript

Hello,
I think I have to start a new thread for this. Originally I described the problem here:
Printing Crystal Report to Postscript
Now we upgraded our Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 to the latest version - CR 2008 SP0. We had purchased the full version to be able to print the postscript files correctly, without any prompts for the file name, because I've read that this was a bug in the old versions, but it had been fixed. But I still cannot do this.
I'm trying to print my reports to the postscript file:
PrinterSettings ps = new PrinterSettings();
ps.PrinterName = "TRADEPOSTSCRIPT";
ps.PrintFileName = txtPath.Text.Trim() + "
" + txtFormNo.Text.Trim() +
".ps";
ps.PrintToFile = true;
rpt.PrintOptions.CopyFrom(ps, ps.DefaultPageSettings);
rpt.PrintToPrinter(1, true, 0, 0);
I'm still getting prompt for the file name.
This doesn't make any sense - the path and file name are specified in my code. The whole project will be useless for us if the users will be getting prompts.
Could you please help me how to solve this issue?
Thank you,

Hi,
I am trying to print and specify a filename to a postscript printer as well. However, my version of crystal reports in Visual Studio 2008 does not come with this method....
reportDocument.PrintToPrinter(printerSettings, pageSettings, True) ?
I have checked and there does not exist an overloaded method in the object browser for this 'PrintToPrinter' method that would accept PrinterSettings object??
The only method I have is as below:
===============================
public virtual void PrintToPrinter(int nCopies, bool collated, int startPageN, int endPageN)
Member of CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
Summary:
Prints the specified pages of the report to the printer selected using the PrintOptions.PrinterName property. If no printer is selected, the default printer specified in the report will be used.
Parameters:
nCopies: Indicates the number of copies to print.
collated: Indicates whether to collate the pages.
startPageN: Indicates the first page to print.
endPageN: Indicates the last page to print.
===============================
My version is Crystal Reports Basic and is what comes with VS 2008 (not upgraded):
From the GAC:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, Version=10.5.3700.0
FileVersion: 10.5.0.1943
.NET FRAMEWORK v3.5 SP1
Please help.
Thanks,
EM

I need to create a dashboard. How do you bring Crystal Reports into Excel?

Hello,
I need to create a dashboard. My boss wants a spreadsheet to show multiple reports and charts about the business. I know you can insert multiple charts in Excel. However, I need to be able to insert a report next to one of the charts.
I am thinking of using the RDC and bring in a Crystal Report. The problem is that I see with Crystal Reports 2008, you can't use RDC.
Is there an upgrade to RDC? How do I bring the Crystal Report into Excel next to the imbeddged charts. I know I can export a Crystal Report to Excel. But that Exports to a entire spreadsheet. I just want to embed a Crystal Report into Excel. The last time I did a project like this, I used to use the RDC with the same code as in VB6. Worked great.
How do you embed a Crystal Reports now?
Thanks.

The question was how do you do it?
I don't have .NET. However, if that is the only way, then I can buy .NET.
I just need someone that knows how to do it to point me in the right direction. To embed something in Excel, I hadn't thought of using .NET.

How to show web layout reports from 10g forms

Hi all ! When I try to open a report file with extension .jsp from a Form using web.show document() or run_report_object() only paper layout is showing on the screen so how I display a web layout from a form with proper documentation or design. Again why only data is showing on the screen without line,ractangle and other documentation but when I run the same report from report builder It is showing all on the screen.Please help how to resolve this. Please provide some proper code or way to solve this.
Thanks & regards
Sanjit

Well,
Web layout means that in place of (or in addition to) the paper layout, you get the report designed in JSP code. So all the frames, repeating frames etc will be expressed in JSP code using the Oracle Reports custom tags. Since it is code-based, you can insert your HTML or Java code in here to customize the output. You can in fact start with the HTML template, open it in reports builder, and start inserting the data using Reports custom JSP tags. In web layout, there are no "page breaks". So your report will be a JSP file, and can be deployed along with your J2EE application.
