Can JDeveloper work with Crystal Report?

I try to open Crystal Report with Jdeveloper, but I could not. Do anyone know if JDeveloper worked with Crystal Report. If anyone knows how, please show me. Thank you in advance.

For example, I have a report name "report1.rpt" which was saved under "C:\oracle\Jdev9052\jdev\mywork\HR\HR\public_html". Beside that I also have all the required jar files and folder crystalreportviewer added to my project. But everytime I run it, I received "The page cannot be displayed". Please help me to point out the problem. Thanks.

How to start with crystal reports

Dear Experts,
I am new to crystal reports, request you to kindly provide any tutorials or How to guides, so that I can start with Crystal reports.
Also tell what would be the Software/Hardware required to start with crystal reports.
Currently we are on ECC 6.0 and SAP enterprise portal 7.0.
Kindly Suggest.
Warm Regards
Upendra Agrawal

I am assuming that u r going to develop reports off SAP datasource.For that purpose, You need to install Crystal Reports 2008 sp1/2 and SAP soluton KIt.
Please read the following blog series which is the best place to start with Crystal Reports and SAP Connectivity:

Has any body work with Crystal Report XI and JDeveloper 10.1.3 ?

Hi All,
We want to use Crystal Report XI as our reporting tools and integrate it with our jsp/jspx application developed with JDeveloper 10.1.3.
Has any body succesfully done this kind of integration ?
Could you please share it with me ?
Thank you for your info,
xtanto

Hi friends,
I use Crystal Reoprt XI (release 1) with JDev 10.1.3, never try Crystal 10 with JDev.
Here is what I do :
1. Install CR XI on the same machine with JDev 10.1.3.
2. Modify CRConfig.XML on folder : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\java on three places :
<JavaDir>D:\JDev1013\jdk\bin</JavaDir>
<Classpath>D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\ocrs12.jar;D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar;D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14dms.jar;D:\JDev1013\jdbc\lib\orai18n.jar; .... [original classpath]
<JDBCURL>jdbc:oracle:thin:@oracle.sas.co.id:1521:ORCL</JDBCURL>
<JDBCClassName>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</JDBCClassName>
<JDBCUserName>myuserid</JDBCUserName>     <JNDIURL></JNDIURL>
3. Create the report using Crystal XI, USE JDBC CONNECTION, and it takes about 12-20 minutes to connect, don'y know why :)
( now the integration part )
4. Create a project for the report in our apps workspace (e.d : ViewController)
5. Copy these jar files below to D:\..\ViewController\public_html\WEB-INF\lib
(I got the files from Crystal Installation)

6. Right click the project, project properties, Libraries, Add Jar / Directories,
Add all the jar files from previous step.
7. Copy CRConfig.XML to folder D:\..\ViewController (project folder)
( this CRConfig.XML is the one that I have not modified, the original one. )
Please check, you must have this on the file :
<reportlocation>.</reportlocation>
8. Then create a Folder e.g : reports under WEB-INF :
D:\..\ViewController\public_html\WEB-INF\reports, then copy all reports created on step 3 on to this folder.
9. create a jsp to call the report, here is sample of my JSP :

How can I get Visual Studio 2010 to work with Crystal Reports?

Hi,
My office upgraded to Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010 and now I can no longer write front end programs to Crystal Reports version 10. Does anybody know if there is a a workaround? Also, our version of Crystal Reports is 32 bit but the new desktop machine I have is 64 bit so there may be issues accessing the Crystal Reports DLLs which are now located in the Programs (x86) folder.
It's all such a gigantic mess that I don't even know where to begin. Visual Studio 2008 had Crystal Reports in it so it was real easy.
Dave

Try searching first before posting. CR for Visual Studio 2010 download is available on the OverView tab. It's a free install, we don't ship in VS now, it's still a plug in so you can't use VS 2010 Express version, MS doesn't support plugins in Express versions.
Runtime files will be version 13 and should update your app without issues.
Install VS 2010/2012/2013 first and then run the first link in the download page. Don't instlal just the runtime redist MSI, it will not integrate into VS.
Also, set your Project for x86 and not any CPU and use the full .NET Framework and not the client version.

Problems using Dynamic parameters with Crystal Reports and SBO 8.8

Has anyone been able to successfully use a dynamic parameter in Crystal Reports with 8.8 using the Business One connector? When we try we get an additional logon to the database that pops up and the logon fails.
We need this because we want to return live lists of PO documents from the server for selection. We are also trying to use nested dynamic parameters, because we want to first return the PO document based on the PO number, and then chose specific rows based on a field value in POR1.
It works if we don't use the Business One connector, but then the report doesn't function properly inside of SAP.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have tried using tokens but they are too simple. I need something like a subselect where you first select one value and then another that is a subset of those values. Apparently the tokens can't even use a "where" clause.
SAP dances around Dynamic parameters, but won't come out and say that they can't be used with the B1 connector. If that is the case then they should just say so and stop wasting our time. Apparently Crystal is not truely interfaced with B1, just sort of hanging out with it.
I don't really care other than I have to do this select, subselect. If someone has a way to do that with tokens I would love to hear it.
Thanks,
Roy

Does CR 2008 work with Crystal Reports Server 11.5

I currently have CRS 11.5 and am using CRXI. I would like to upgrade CRXI to CR2008 (visual advantage), but not upgrade CRS at this time. Does CR2008 work with CRS11.5? Any known issues to be aware of?
Thanks,
Jsr

Unfortunately, CR 2008 is compatible with CR Server 2008 only You could refer to the [CR Server 2008 Supported Platforms|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/90e0d1a4-ae34-2b10-198c-f309bfa21e91]
Kindly refer to the [Crystal Reports Server XI Release 2 Info|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20d9fe63-396c-2b10-e7a8-efddd1a910f6]

Creating OLAP report with Crystal Reports and SQL Server Analysis Services 2005

Post Author: orahc_mao
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi!
I am currently using the trial version of the Crystal Reports XI and I wanted to do an OLAP report. The problem is I cannot select a cube using "OLAP Connection Browser" (the popup window). I already selected Microsoft OLE DB Provider and entered the server name but still can't connect.
I don't think the problem is with SQL Server Analysis Services (2005) since Microsoft Excel - Import Data can detect the server as well as the cube I have created.
I also tried the "Database Expert" of Crystal Reports, created an OLE DB (ADO) connection with "OLE DB Provider for OLAP Services 8.0" driver, entered the server name, checked the integrated security and then I can readily select the database created at SQL Server Analysis Services. However, I still need the OLAP grid create the report but it goes back to my original problem... selecting a cube.
I hope somebody would help me with this issue.
Thanks a lot!
orahc_mao

Hello,
I don't recognize those variables as CR ones so it's likely something the original developer is setting in code.
You'll have to discuss with that person.
If your have SDK issues then post your question to one of the .NET or Java SDK forums.
Thank you
Don

How netflow works with ASA Firepower and Virtual Defense ?

Hi,
In the discovery rules of the Virtual Defense, i can see that's it's possible to configure netflow source. I have a pair of Cisco 4500X as the core switch L3, and would like to send a flow to the IPS.
I configure the switch like that :
flow record IPV4-FLOW-RECORD
match ipv4 tos
match ipv4 protocol
match ipv4 source address
match ipv4 destination address
match transport source-port
match transport destination-port
collect interface input
collect interface output
collect counter bytes long
collect counter packets long
flow exporter Firepower
source Vlan12
destination IP_OF_tHE_ASA_IPS_MODULE
flow monitor IPV4-FLOW
exporter Firepower
cache timeout inactive 30
cache timeout active 60
cache entries 1000
record IPV4-FLOW-RECORD
vlan configuration 100-102 ip flow monitor IPV4-FLOW input
It's the correct configuration ? Can't see how to check in Virtual Defense if it's receive netflow packets

SOLUTION!
Install a second NIC bind vmnet0 to eth1 instead of eth0
Details:
Goal was to have the Host OS (Ubuntu 8.04) which is running an Apache web server also serve as an e-mail gateway (SpamTitan) since on a heavy day the web server might hit 5% CPU.
Why but a whole new machine, right?
When it did not work right away I went into troubleshooting mode and tried several different things as mentioned above. Which led me to the idea to create my own VM of SpamTitan and bind it to a different NIC.
Before I went that far I tried reassigning vmnet0 from eth0 to my newly installed eth1 and running it. That seems to have done the trick!
So now the setup is:
eth0 192.168.2.4
eth1 192.168.2.5
vmnet0 192.168.2.6
With vmnet0 bridged to eth1
Why is it working now and not before?
I am unsure. It is not a Linux thing because I tried both Windows XP and OS X 10.5 with the same result. I think it has more to do with primary network and associated services than Host OS.
If anyone has any insight please let me know. Otherwise I am going to chase it down later.
Thanks again for your responses!

Anyone suggests a barcode font paid/free that really works with Crystal Report?

Hi fellow B1 Users,
I am having difficulty producing a print of crystal label report that produces barcodes which can be scanned.
It seems like I have not been lucky getting barcode fonts and its dimensions (size with height and width) right so it can be scanned by simple
barcode scanners.
Anyone got their crystal label to be scan-able?
Please suggest.
Thank you,
Syed

Hi Gordon,
Good to see you still active in SAP B1 forums.
I tried fonts such as CCode39.
However, I got lucky this time, the font IDAutomationHC39M worked for me, size 18.
Did not have to do much setting on barcode scanner though I have done it before
Thank you.

How Mail work with image attachements and HTML image ?

Hello,
I'm writing an application that sends html emails with images to Mail.app. When Mail display the mail, everything is okay, images are correctly embedded in html code, using inline attachements.
But there's still a problem : The images are also displayed at the bottom of the email, as file attachements. I know that Mail's template can hide these attachements, but I cannot reproduce it when sending my own emails.
Is there anybody here that already get such problem and find the solution ? (apparently, Windows User get the same problem with Outlook, but they have an API under Windows...I'm using my own email API..)
David

David can you share how you managed to get the inline images to work. I've got the general idea of how to do it. But I do not seem to be able to change the Content-Type to multipart/mix. Can you point me in the right direction. Should the Content-Type definition and everything else be part of the body? Or should some headers (namely the multipart) be defined in the mailto URL format?
In other words do you do: mailto:?subject=test&Content-Type=multipart/mix;%20boundary=myBoundary&body=--m yBoundary etc...
Or id it: mailto:?subject=test&body=Content-Type=multipart/mix;%20boundary=myBoundary%20- -myBoundary etc..
Neither seems to work for me so I am really stuck. But knowing what the right way is would help me figure things out a bit better.
Thanks in advance

Issue working with Interactive Reporting and Metaread option on Essbase 11

Issue:
I can´t see members/Generations of Essbase using the OLAP Query Object in Interactive Reporting, when Essbase Filters ( Metaread ) were applied on Dimensions
Versions:
Interactive Reporting 11 / Essbase 11
Comments:
- If I’m connected, with an Admin user who don't have Metaread Filter Security it works fine.
Tests:
- I do a test when I connect my query to Essbase 9.2, it works fine and I can see the members and generations without problems.
It seems that could be a bug, did you have any ideas about what would happened with the Essbase 11.1.2 that IR could not interpret the same way as Essbase 9.2 do

How to work with request, response and sessions in JSC

Hi
I have two Servlets ServletA and ServletB. ServletA creates a session and add some attributes to this session. Then it forwards the request to ServletB where the attributes of this session are retrieved and used in response object.
Here is what I am doing in ServletB
- Get the session attrribute. This attribute is of type byte[]
byte[] mydata = (byte[]) request.getSession.getAttribute(data);
response.setContentLength(mydata.length);
OutputStream stream = response.getOutputStream();
stream.write(mydata,0,mydata.length);
stream.close();
My question is ...
How do I achieve this in Creator. ?
Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance
SrinivasBy "this" do you mean "how do I access a session attribute that has been placed there by another servlet?"
The base class for all page beans has a bunch of convenience methods available. The simplest one to use for this purpose is getBean(), which searches through request scope, session scope, and application scope for a bean with the name you specify -- and, if its a managed bean, will create it for you as well. So, your code would look like this:
String data = ...; // Name of the attribute you want
byte[] mydata = (byte[]) getBean(data);There is an additional quirk related to what you're actually trying to do, though ... it looks like you are trying to write out binary content (perhaps an image loaded from the database or something). It is not possible to mix binary and text output in a single response.
Your best bet for this particular purpose, then, is to continue using ServletA and ServletB just as you have been. The applications created by Creator are standard servlet-based web applications, so you can use additional servlets and all the other goodies (although you'll have to declare them yourself in the web.xml file, as usual).

How to work with BI using Visual Composer....?

Hi
I want to work with BI report and BEx analyzer etc using Visual Composer.
I am using Visual Composer 7.1. I have configured BI system connection using the following link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/7e/6dbcea3700452195e3bddaa47c5906/frameset.htm.
In the above document i didnt understand the following para....
Creating BI Users in the Portal
Ensure that the BI back-end users also exist in the J2EE Engine. You can use the BI back end as the user store for the J2EE Engine or you can create the users manually. If you create the users manually, you should ensure that they have the same names as in the BI back-end; this avoids the need to configure user assignment.
How to check BI back end user also exist in J2EE engine ?
How to use BI kit in Visual composer. From where can i download BI kit for Visual Composer.
What is the difference between developing application in VC using the above method and using BI kit.
Please help me....
Regards
Sowmya....

Hi,
Without the BI kit you cannot do a lot of things in VC 7.1.
This kit is not available with 7.1.
The part that you did not understand meant that if you opening VC using a certain id in portal for eg "user" then the same id should be present in your backend system in this case BW system.
Without this it wont be able to connect to the system.
Hope this helps

Nikhil.
