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.

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 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.

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.

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 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?

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");
dbLogon.setPassword("pwd");
Thanks in advance.

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 config Gmail SMTP server for Crystal Report servers

Hi Experts,
My customer is using Gmail. They need to send out email from Gmail account via Crystal Reports Server to do some reports bursting.
I tried many ways to setup in both CrystalReportJobServer and DestinationJobServer, but just got the following error message.
[AccountsID (8caa73d5-fd2d-469d-8ef2-4d8bd277dc20)]. login error. [[CrystalEnterprise.Smtp] ([1]/[1])]: [SMTP Server does not support authentication. Return code: [SMTP 502 - Command not implemented.].] (FBE60013)
User name and password are correct. It seems it just cannot get authentication.
Anyone can help? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Christina

Hello,
Sebastian is right. BO doesn't support SSL for email.
However, there is a workaround by using a program sTunnel which redirects a default connection to a SSL connection.
Have a look at the note 1611420 which explains on how to do it.
(https://bosap-support.wdf.sap.corp/sap/support/notes/1611420)
This will not be supported by BO of course but feel free to test it

Hi Malika.....
Try this simple query report in Crystal with Parameter as CardGroup....
Select T0.CardCode, T0.CardName From OCRD T0
Where T0.GroupCode='{?GroupCode@Select * from OCRG}'
Take above query in command window.
GroupCode@Select * from OCRG
Take above condition in parameter window and then try to run in SAP.
You can see how CFL gets generated and you get values of CardGroup......
The above is only example.......

SRM 4.0- How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC

The radio button Service should not be visible.
Also for search help (e.g. search for internal products) where a search should only be possible for product type 01 (goods). The system should not display the product type and internally always search for goods only.
How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC
We needs to use Search help BBPH_PRODUCT which having parameter PRODUCT_TYPE
Here we can set defalut value 01 but it is not correct one since same search help is using several places.
We need to limit the search help results only for SC.
Kindly help out me ASAP.

The easiest way to set defautl values is to edit the batch class.
Goto the characteiristic and go to update values.
In here you probably have something like 0 - 100 as a spec range.
On the next line enter the default value within this range. At the end of the line, click in the box in the column labelled "D". This indicates the defautl value for the characteristic.
If you need to you can do this in the material classification view as well.
Just to be clear, these values will only show up in the batch record. You can not have defautl values in resutls recording screens.

How to set a date range for date field ?

Dear Experts,
Scenario:
I have a query in validating the date field in my BSP application. My application is for maintain infotype 0023 Other/Previous Employers online by employees in the company.
As per our design we are maintaining the all employment details of the employee both ( with in the current company / previous employment outside the company) in the same infotype.
Every employee will have a hiring date within the SAP HR system. We consider this date as the cutoff date between current and previous employment in our application. When the employee updating the details wia BSP page I need to check the following.
Record inside current company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA) greater than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE(ENDDA) should be greater than FROM DATE (BEGDA).
Record outside current Company: Validation that, the user should only able to enter BEGIN DATE (BEGDA) less than or equal HIRING DATE and END DATE (ENDDA) should be greater than FROM DATE (BEGDA) and less than HIRING DATE.
Technical Requirement:
How to set a date range for date field, i.e. how we can limit the date range in a HTMLB date field? Can this it be achieved via standard functionality of HTMLB?
Following is the code to describe date field in my application.
 <htmlb:inputField id= "ENDDA_NEW_IN"

 doValidate= "TRUE"
 showHelp= "TRUE"
 disabled= "FALSE"
 width= "183"
