Here's a routine that also searches for subreports to set the log on info. Simply remove that aprt to set the main report logon info:
IDatabaseTablePtr pTable;
//get first table
pTable = m_Report->Database->Tables->GetItem(1) ;
long lTableCount = m_Report->Database->Tables->Count;
for( long lTable=1; lTable<=lTableCount; lTable++ )
     pTable = m_Report->Database->Tables->GetItem(lTable);
     pTable->ConnectionProperties->DeleteAll();
     pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("DSN", "Name of your DSN");
     pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Database", "Demo");
     pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Password", "sa");
     pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("User ID", "1Oem2000");
// Log on the tables of the subreports.
long lSectionCount = m_Report->Sections->Count;
for( long lSection=1; lSection<=lSectionCount; lSection++ )
     ISectionPtr pSection = m_Report->Sections->Item[lSection];
     long lSubreportCount = pSection->ReportObjects->Count;
     for( long lSubreport=1; lSubreport<=lSubreportCount; lSubreport++ )
          IReportObjectPtr pSubreportObject = pSection->ReportObjects->Item[lSubreport];
          CRObjectKind crObjectKind;
          pSubreportObject->get_Kind(&crObjectKind);
          if( crObjectKind == crSubreportObject )
               ISubreportObjectPtr SubReportPtr = pSubreportObject;
               IReportPtr pSubReport = SubReportPtr->OpenSubreport();
               long lTableCount = pSubReport->Database->Tables->Count;
               for( long lTable=1; lTable<=lTableCount; lTable++ )
                    pTable = m_Report->Database->Tables->GetItem(lTable);
                    pTable->ConnectionProperties->DeleteAll();
                    //pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("DSN", "dwcb12003");
                    pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Database", "CrystalEport_DB");
                    pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Password", "sa");
                    pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("User ID", "1Oem2000");
If that doesn't work you need to tell us what is the error you are getting and paste in the code you are using.

How to set currency symbol correctly in crystal report

Hi all,
I am using the Crystal Report 2008, I have one issue regarding the currency symbol in the crystal report.
it seems the CrystalReport use the System Default currency symbol. e.g.
ProductA Cost: $1000
It displays,
ProductA Cost: £1000
in euro locale and $ in english locale
It doesn't make sense in business. The question is how do we set the currency symbol "$" to the report? I google some websites, the SetLocaleInfo may be one option, I would like to know the detail and if there are more solutions.
Thanks for your help

Before in our legacy application, we used Crystal Report 9 & VB
'Crystal Report Designer Components (RDC).
Set CrxApp As New CRAXDRT.Application
I can set the crxapp to nothing and recreate this design component.
Set CrxApp = nothing
After SetLocaleInfo, if we set the CrxApp to nothing, it will create the RDC and the currency symbol will be updated.
Now we are using Crystal Report 2008 and C#, the RDC is not supported in 2008
What can I do?
Any input is greatly appreciated.

How to set database location for stored procedure

Post Author: Pavel
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I've already found out that setting location is not only my problem, but I can't understand the correct decision. We using CR to create reports, accessing the data in MSSQL by ODBC.
Previously (up to version 8) I set location directly, editing the "Table" field in "Set Location" form. Command after report creation was:
Proc(DBNAME.dbo.PROCEDURE_NAME;1)
I erased "DBNAME.dbo.", so the correct command was
Proc(PROCEDURE_NAME;1)
After that, the report can run on any database name, any ODBC datasource with any owner name of procedure.
Now we had to upgdate to CR 11 Developer Edition.
Here I can't erase database location. But when I change database location to ODBC datasource for another database, the properties of stored procedure "Catalog" and "Owner" remain the same as they initiated when report was created! So, when report runs, it call
exec OLD_DB_NAME.dbo.PROCEURE_NAME;1 ....
So, the report doesn't work on customer database, because it has different name.
How can I erase any database location in the report?We run reports using API from Gupta Team Developer applications, may be it is possible to set database location by API before running report?
Plese help, any tips are usefull.

Post Author: Pavel
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
When I set location to another database (i.e. another ODBC datasource) by clicking Update button, "Catalog" property is not changing! It remains unaltered. I had to remove procedure from report and then add procedure from another database, so there was a lot of formatting fileds after that.
This is not a right decision. I didn't solved current problem, I only temporary patched it.
The correct desision is to set location programmatically from application.But function PEGetNthTableLocation returns empty strings in CR11, or I incorectly declared this function (from CR8.5):
BOOL CRPE_API PEGetNthTableLocation ( short printJob, //handle to print job short tableN, //number of table struct PETableLocation FAR *location //structure pointer);typedef struct PETableLocation { WORD StructSize; char Location [PE_TABLE_LOCATION_LEN]; //256 char SubLocation[PE_TABLE_LOCATION_LEN]; //256 char ConnectBuffer[PE_CONNECTION_BUFFER_LEN]; //512} PETableLocation;

How to set defalt parameter(s) for Crystal Report in CRS

Hi everybody,
I am new to Crystal Report designing and Crystal Report Server. My problem is; I had created one Crystal Report with sub-reports and some parameters. I had given default value for those parameters. These parameters are there in main report and linked with sub-reports. After that I deployed it in the Crystal Report Server.
Now i want to schedule the report. while scheduling the report, I want to run the report using default parameter(s). If I Clicked on Schedule button, it is giving "report failed" error. And in parameter list it is showing "No parameters". Why this is happening? Is this default behaviour of Crystal Report Server? Can anybody please suggest me how can I give default values for a report automatically?(using Crystal Report Server)
Thanks in Advance.
Jithesh

Not sure if I understand the question correctly or not. It sounds like you have a main report, with a sub-report and a value is being passed from the main to the sub-report.
When you say you created some parameters, are those parameters in the sub-report or main report?
If it were me I would create a parameter in the main report, and a parameter in the sub report. Have the two reports link on the two parameters.
When you go to schedule the job, set the default value in the cmc under process/parameters.
Let me know if this answers your question. I tend to not fully understand the problem often times.
Good luck!

How to set a bind variable into a vo query from the current vo ?

I would like to exclude from my list of values defined in a view object the already referenced items in the current view object content.
Let's say i have dept and emp with a many to many relationships, I would like that the already existing dept for emp not listed (excluded) in the list of values for emp.
Do i need to define a bind parameters and set it during search or is it possible to use an expression that will refer the current row attribute representing the dept ?
I didn't find an example or explanation how to set bind parameters defined in a view object query from seach pages or list of values ui components. May be somebody know how to find the info.
Thank you

I think that bind variable accessors in the VO class is what you need. You can override the getter method of the bind variable "LocaleCode2" in order to return the first 2 chars from the bind variable "LocaleCode". Have a look at this blog post for details:

How to set JRE 1.5.0_07 as default Java from the cmd line in Windows

Hi All,
We are currently in the process of upgrading our company to IE8. As MS JVM is incompatible we need to remove it.
However, once we have done this JRE 1.5.0_07 is not the default version of Java any more for IE8.
My question is - Is there a command line switch to set set JRE 1.5.0_07 as default Java from the cmd line in Windows. ie the setting in Java Control panel where you would tick Internet Explorer?
Thanks in advance!

This is to confirm a similar issue. Here is the scenario:
We are currently using IE 6 and looking forward to upgrade to IE 8. Our current Java version is: J2RE 1.5.0_16.
When updating from IE 6 to IE 8 with J2RE 1.5.0_16 on a test workstation, we get the following error from the Java testing website (http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml): "load: class testvm2/Main.class not found."
Workaround :
-> Change Java JRE Network Settings in Control Panel to "User proxy server : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xx"
We are using an autoconfig.pac file and it seems IE8 can't parse the settings to JRE to go through the proxy.
Please advise if you have a fix for the autoconfig.pac file.

Problem to run the Crystal report inside from SAP B1 based on SQL views.

Hello,
I have a problem to run my Crystal report inside from SAP B1 which is based on SQL views.And the SQL views are stored in a separate database in SQL server.The error which i am getting is saying the the tablename does not exist.What i need to do in order to sort this problem.
Great if somebody can help me to sort out this so that i can run my report based on SQL views stored on separate database other than SAP databases inside from SAP B1.
Edited by: rozenagrawal on Apr 19, 2011 11:51 AM

Try using a SQL synonym in your company database for the views outside the company database. I don't know if SBO will let you get away with it, but its worth a shot.
If your company database is MyCompany and you have a view called MyView in Views database, assuming the view belongs to schema dbo, and you want the synonym to belong to dbo schema in your company database, run this:
Use MyCompany
go
create synonym dbo.OutsiderView for
Views.dbo.MyView
go
select * from OutsiderView
The select statement should return the contents of MyView in the Views database while you are connected to your MyCompany database.
For more info, see the Books Online for MSSQL on topic synonym.
You will need to change your CR options to include displaying synonyms along with tables, views, etc. You may also need to grant select to B1 users.

Changing the Crystal Report dependency from 10.2 to 11.5 using config file

Hi,
We have an windows application in .net 2.0, which refers to Crystal Report 10.2 version. Now the dependency was being upgraded to 11.5. But we do not have the exact source code for the executable to change the dependency from 10.2 to 11.5.
I have installed the CR 11.5 to the testing machine and tried to open the appilcation. it failed saying CR 10.2 dlls were missing
Then I changed the .net config files to change the dependency assembly as follows
<runtime>
     <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
       <dependentAssembly>
         <assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine" publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" culture="neutral" />
         <bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.2.3600.0" newVersion="11.5.3700.0"/>
       </dependentAssembly>
       <dependentAssembly>
         <assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource" publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" culture="neutral" />
      <bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.2.3600.0" newVersion="11.5.3700.0"/>
       </dependentAssembly>
       <dependentAssembly>
         <assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.Shared" publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" culture="neutral" />
      <bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.2.3600.0" newVersion="11.5.3700.0"/>
       </dependentAssembly>
       <dependentAssembly>
         <assemblyIdentity name="CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms" publicKeyToken="692fbea5521e1304" culture="neutral" />
      <bindingRedirect oldVersion="10.2.3600.0" newVersion="11.5.3700.0"/>
       </dependentAssembly>
      </assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
Now the application launched with out any issues. I thought the problem was sorted out.
But when I tried to generate the report, there comes the problem
During the report generation, I am getting the following error
Crystal Reports
An error has occurred while attempting to load the Crystal Reports runtime.
Either the Crystal Reports registry key permissions are insufficient or the Crystal Reports runtime is not installed correctly.
Please install the appropriate Crystal Reports redistributable (CRRedist*.msi) containing the correct version of the Crystal Reports runtime (x86, x64, or Itanium) required. Please go to http://www.businessobjects.com/support for more information.
OK
I do not want to install the 10.2 redistributable in teh machine also do not want to re-compile the sources changing the dependency
Is there any way to achieve this ?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Edited by: Balaji Narasimhan on Aug 3, 2009 5:28 PM

No way that I know of. I believe once you change the dependency, you will have to recompile the project. Installing CR 10.2, may get this to work, but the app will most likely use the 10.2 references. Let's see if anyone else has any ideas.

How to set 32-bit ODBC to crystal report in 64-bit OS

hello,
Previously, I have asked for the CR export question after OS change from WINXP 32 bit to WIN2003 64 bit, and I configurate the 32 bit ODBC administrator at the server and tried to run program to generate simple report, just use CR's own datasource Xtreme Sample Database 11.5. Unfortunately, the program pop up the error message below.
IM002:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
Error in File C:\DOCUME1\Temp\LOCALS1\Temp\1\CrystalReport1 {20D21A9C-A4AD-4175-81A4-3A25E2D463A0}.rpt:
Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters.
So I assume, the program will look up for the default ODBC 64 bit for use only. please advise how to set the program to get the 32 bit ODBC to generate report.
Thanks.

How to set DbConnections when scheduling a crystal report using Crystal Reports Server Java SDK?

CA Forum: JAVA
Hi,
Trying to schedule a report using Crystal Reports Server Java SDK. Want to pass DBConnections from API, though passing DBConnections, the report is not being scheduled and says "Failed to retrieve data from the database.Details:[Database Vendor Code:6550].
Would be thankful if someone could answer my point as applicable.
Here is the code attached.
ISDKList dbLogons = oReport.getReportLogons();int dbLogonSize = dbLogons.size();
for(int i=0; i<dbLogonSize; ++i) {
IReportLogon dbLogon = (IReportLogon)dbLogons.get(i);
dbLogon.setDatabaseName("DBname");
dbLogon.setUserName("usrname");

Ted,
Thank you for your valuable information.
First, tried scheduling on Central Management Console and then with the java code.It worked fine, but here is another question for you.
On the Console, a report exists with ServerName and UserName harcoded and when trying to set ServerName and UserName from the java code, its throwing exception. Where as Password is not set on Console, am able to set password from java.
And DatabaseName is not set on Console (non editable), unable to set the same from java too. Why is it so?
So, my question is - though ServerName,DatabaseName,UserName,Password exists on the Console report, can't I override those parameters from java?
Would be greatful if you answer my question and provide me some guidance.
Thanks in advance.

How to set Default DateTime values in Crystal Reports 2008

Hi All,
I'm using Crystal Reports 2008. I have two fields FromDate and ToDate in reports. While running report, FromDate field should be displayed with CurrentDate + 00:00:00 in the UI and for ToDate it should be displayed with CurrentDate + 23:59:59 format.
I have tried the below things, But still I want to set CurrentDate + 00:00:00 time in DateTime field.
"In CR 2008 you would set the time portion to 00:00:00 in this way:
1) Edit the date/time parameter and look for the 'Default Value' option; it would be blank
2) Set this to 00:00:00
This would default the calendar to 12/30/1899 00:00:00. The only worry here is, when you click on the calendar icon you would be presented with the calendar for the year 1899 and it is painstaking to scroll all the way to the current year."
I found one solution in SAP forum and I have added the below lines in Record Selection formula,
{@FromDate} = date(@CurrentDate)+time(00,00,00)
{@ToDate} = date(@CurrentDate)+time(23,59,59)
When I run the report, I still getting the empty values in the input parameters screen.
Am I missing anything? Kindly help
Thanks,
Ramesh Kumar G.

If anyone of you know how to fix it. Kindly post it. It's urgent.
PS: It would be great if you could kind of share a check list of things that need to be taken care of while viewing a crystal report with images.

Please check that you have crystalreportviewers11 (for version XI) or crystalreportviewers115 ( for version XI R2) folder in your BO installation and your web.xml has correct reference to it. You can copy this folder over in your web application and
Add an entry in web.xml as follows ( if it doesn't exist)
<context-param>
<param-name>crystal_image_uri</param-name>
<param-value>/<your application name>/crystalreportviewers115</param-value>
</context-param>
crystalreportviewers11\115 have images folder which contain all the images for Logo and toolbar. Check the images folder in viewers and make sure that they exist.
