How to use runtime datasource with crystal to generate reports

Hi,
I am new to BO Crystal reporting area. In my appliaction I am trying to use runtime data source. My objective is to use a 'List of Java ValueObject(class holding private attributes with public getter setter)s' as report database. I am using version BO XI 3.0.
As per development guide I have to perform the following steps to use runtime datasource
1. Put your manipulated data in a RowSet form that can be processed.
2. Create and fill an com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data.IDataset object with the rowset data.
3. Add or set the data source with either the addDataSource or setDataSource methods of DatabaseController class.
API doesn't allow me to set/add "Record"/ "RecordBatch" to RowSet. Please help.
Please note: I have already tried and understand the usage of following types of data sources
1. All types of db conductivities as provided by Crystal designer "Database Expert"
2. Also I have successfully tried & tested transforming "List of Java VOs" into XML, TXT, CSV file format and use them as data source for crystal.

The DBMS is the same, we are only using a different database user to log on.
There is a separate db user for each server.
The EAR with a given datasource name in the entity EJBs should be deployed
on all 4 servers without changing descriptors.Interesting. And what is the value of using a different schema/user in the
different servers? I do believe that this configuration issue can be
achieved but I have not done it myself. I believe there is a way to
have some portions of a managed server's configuration by in a per-server
config file. That would be where you would define the pool. The DataSource
could also be there (with the same name for every server), or it could
be in the common one in the admin server.
I would file a support case to get this documented to show you how to
do what you want.

Using Entity Framework with Crystal Master Detail Reporting

My project is a WPF project connected to a SQL Server Compact Edition database. Since Crystal does not support nullable types, I have created classes specifically for the report to consume. This is a simplified version of what I am attempting to do.
For example...
class Band
public string BandName { get; set; }
public string BandCity { get; set; }
public List<BandRecording> RecordingsList { get; set; }
class BandRecording
public string Year { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
In my code behind for this report, I am using Entity Framework to pull the data. Just pulling information for one band...
using (RockEntities re = new RockEntities())
var bandinfo = (from b in re.Band
where b.BandName == "BT"
select new
b.BandName,
b.BandCity,
Recordings = b.Recordings.OrderBy(z => z.Year)
}).FirstOrDefault();
OK, now I start moving to the data to class I have defined...
Band b = new Band();
b.RecordingsList = new List<BandRecording>();
b.BandName = bandinfo.BandName;
b.BandCity = bandinfo.BandCity;
foreach(var Recording in bandinfo.Recordings)
BandRecording br = new BandRecording();
br.Year = Recording.Year;
br.Description = Recording.Description;
b.RecordingsList.Add(br);
Since Crystal Supports IEnumerable, I create a list to hold the main record (although I am only reporting on one band)...
List<Band> lb = new List<Band>();
lb.Add(lb);
ReportDocument rd = new ReportDocument();
rd.Load("BandReport.rpt");
rd.SetDataSource(lb);
I have put the Band info in the Report Header section. This is all working fine. In the details section I would like to put the Band Recording info. I haven't figured out how to do this. I have put the fields in the Details section, but how do I tell the details section to use the inner List<BandRecordings>?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Only way I can see of doing this would be to place emprty formulas into the section. The populate the formula(s) with the required field;
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Dim Report As New CrystalReport1()
Dim FormulaFields As FormulaFieldDefinitions
Dim FormulaField As FormulaFieldDefinition
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
FormulaFields = Report.DataDefinition.FormulaFields
FormulaField = FormulaFields.Item(0)
FormulaField.Text = "[formula text]"
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = Report
End Sub

How to use union statement with declare & set function?

Hi Experts,
i have small query about how to use union statement with declare & set function?
Example as below :
DECLARE @name AS date
Declare @name2 AS date
/* SELECT FROM [2013].[dbo].[OINV] T0 */
/* WHERE */
SET @name = /* T0.DocDate */ '[%1]'
SET @name2 = /* T0.DocDate */ '[%2]'
select '2013',t5.U_salmannm,t1.CardName,t2.sumapplied as CollectionAmount,t2.DcntSum ,t3.DocTotal as InvoiceTotal,
datediff(dd,t3.DocDate,t1.Docdate) as Days
from 2013.dbo.orct t1
inner join 2013.dbo.RCT2 t2 on t1.DocNum = t2.DocNum
left join 2013.dbo.oinv t3 on
t3.docentry = t2.baseAbs
inner join 2013.dbo.ocrd t4 on t1.Cardcode = t4.CardCode
inner join [2013].[dbo].[@CQ_RTSM] t5 on t4.U_BeatCode = t5.U_RoutCode
where t2.DcntSum <> 0.000000 and t3.DocDate between [%1] and [%2]
Union
/* SELECT FROM [2014].[dbo].[OINV] T0 */
/* WHERE */
SET @name = /* T0.DocDate */ '[%1]'
SET @name2 = /* T0.DocDate */ '[%2]'
select '2014',t5.U_salmannm,t1.CardName,t2.sumapplied as CollectionAmount,t2.DcntSum ,t3.DocTotal as InvoiceTotal,
datediff(dd,t3.DocDate,t1.Docdate) as Days
from 2014.dbo.orct t1
inner join 2014.dbo.RCT2 t2 on t1.DocNum = t2.DocNum
left join 2014.dbo.oinv t3 on
t3.docentry = t2.baseAbs
inner join 2014.dbo.ocrd t4 on t1.Cardcode = t4.CardCode
inner join [2014].[dbo].[@CQ_RTSM] t5 on t4.U_BeatCode = t5.U_RoutCode
where t2.DcntSum <> 0.000000 and t3.DocDate between [%1] and [%2]

You have to create stored procedure in SQL only .
Like u must have create for Crystal .
You can execute procedure in query manager but you have to enter parameter manually..
example
Exec @Test '20140101' '20140501'
Every time user has to enter it manually in yyyymmdd format in case of date parameters.
Example
Create Proc [@Test]
as begin
DECLARE @name AS date
Declare @name2 AS date
/* SELECT FROM [2013].[dbo].[OINV] T0 */
/* WHERE */
select '2013',t5.U_salmannm,t1.CardName,t2.sumapplied as CollectionAmount,t2.DcntSum ,t3.DocTotal as InvoiceTotal,
datediff(dd,t3.DocDate,t1.Docdate) as Days
from 2013.dbo.orct t1
inner join 2013.dbo.RCT2 t2 on t1.DocNum = t2.DocNum
left join 2013.dbo.oinv t3 on
t3.docentry = t2.baseAbs
inner join 2013.dbo.ocrd t4 on t1.Cardcode = t4.CardCode
inner join [2013].[dbo].[@CQ_RTSM] t5 on t4.U_BeatCode = t5.U_RoutCode
where t2.DcntSum <> 0.000000 and t3.DocDate between @Name and @Name2
Union
/* SELECT FROM [2014].[dbo].[OINV] T0 */
/* WHERE */
select '2014',t5.U_salmannm,t1.CardName,t2.sumapplied as CollectionAmount,t2.DcntSum ,t3.DocTotal as InvoiceTotal,
datediff(dd,t3.DocDate,t1.Docdate) as Days
from 2014.dbo.orct t1
inner join 2014.dbo.RCT2 t2 on t1.DocNum = t2.DocNum
left join 2014.dbo.oinv t3 on
t3.docentry = t2.baseAbs
inner join 2014.dbo.ocrd t4 on t1.Cardcode = t4.CardCode
inner join [2014].[dbo].[@CQ_RTSM] t5 on t4.U_BeatCode = t5.U_RoutCode
where t2.DcntSum <> 0.000000 and t3.DocDate between
between @Name and @Name2

How to use jre6-compat with libreoffice?

How to use jre6-compat with libreoffice?
libreoffice + language tool is a sluggish duo when used with jre7, so I have installed jre6-compat in addition to jre7, but I have no idea how to make libreoffice use jre6 from jre6-compat. Jre6 is not listed in Tools>Options>Java.
I want to keep jre7, because it works well with the other applications.

How to use Oracle partitioning with JPA @OneToOne reference?

Hi!
A little bit late in the project we have realized that we need to use Oracle partitioning both for performance and admin of the data. (Partitioning by range (month) and after a year we will move the oldest month of data to an archive db)
We have an object model with an main/root entity "Trans" with @OneToMany and @OneToOne relationships.
How do we use Oracle partitioning on the @OneToOne relationships?
(We'd rather not change the model as we already have millions of rows in the db.)
On the main entity "Trans" we use: partition by range (month) on a date column.
And on all @OneToMany we use: partition by reference (as they have a primary-foreign key relationship).
But for the @OneToOne key for the referenced object, the key is placed in the main/source object as the example below:
@Entity
public class Employee {
@Id
@Column(name="EMP_ID")
private long id;
@OneToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name="ADDRESS_ID")
private Address address;
EMPLOYEE (table)
EMP_ID FIRSTNAME LASTNAME SALARY ADDRESS_ID
1 Bob Way 50000 6
2 Sarah Smith 60000 7
ADDRESS (table)
ADDRESS_ID STREET CITY PROVINCE COUNTRY P_CODE
6 17 Bank St Ottawa ON Canada K2H7Z5
7 22 Main St Toronto ON Canada L5H2D5
From the Oracle documentation: "Reference partitioning allows the partitioning of two tables related to one another by referential constraints. The partitioning key is resolved through an existing parent-child relationship, enforced by enabled and active primary key and foreign key constraints."
How can we use "partition by reference" on @OneToOne relationsships or are there other solutions?
Thanks for any advice.

How to use my itunes with a new pc

how to use my itunes with a new pc?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

How to use the namespace with a parser?

I want to use the namespace in my project. For this reason, I use a sample
from

The slideshow2.dtd refer to the definition in 'xhtml.dtd'. Because in these
two files, they all use the 'title' as the element names. To solve these
conflicts, The namespace is used to qualified the one in slideshow2.dtd.
But the parser still complain that the 'title' in slideshow2.dtd is declared
more than once.
I use apache's Xerces.
I want to know if Xereces realy support namespace spec. now, or how to use
the namespace with a parser. Can anyone kindly tell me where to find some
material that demo the use of namespace in Java program.

Kishore

Hey Kishore,
In order to create a structure you need to use the file with convertion mode on the sending communication channel of the file adapter.
check the link for the needed configuration paramters.
If the structure is more complexed you can use the Contetnt master(CM) from itemfield which allows to ceate XML file from complex flat files and more.

Greetings,
hi forum...
how to use Java WebStart with EJB ? examples ?Well, for starters these are complementing, not 'cooperating', technologies. I presume, since EJB's do not - directly, at least - communicate with a web browser, that you intend for "Java WebStart" to somehow invoke an EJB?? Java WebStart is a technology for running client-side (Java) applications from the web browser - perceptively, the application resides on the server, but technically it, like an applet, is downloaded to the client and run there. Unlike an applet, however, it is not constrained by "sandbox" restrictions and does not have to be re-downloaded each time it is invoked - though the process allows for automagically updating the client-side with new versions of the application. ;) So, with this in mind, to "use Java WebStart with EJB" means little more than deploying an EJB client application with Java WebStart as the distribution channel.
