Hyperlinks within a report

Hello,
I am using Crystal Reports to create a statement. We would like to include hyperlinks in our report. We have already created hyperlinks within the report. The hyperlinks are only operational when I click within the subreport. I want to process my report to a PDF and have the hyperlinks work. To create the hyperlinks, we placed a forumla into the hyperlink tab to an existing webpage. The formula that we have established grabs data from our database and places it into the webpage browser address. Any Suggestions? I am currently working in Crystal 11.5.

U can include any text rt click on it goto format text
Hyperlink tab and add any type of hyperlink there.
If you want to add something specific please do let me know

Hyperlinks within Crystal Reports

Hello,
I am using Crystal Reports to create a statement. We would like to include hyperlinks in our report. We have already created hyperlinks within the report. The hyperlinks are only operational when I click within the subreport. I want to process my report to a PDF and have the hyperlinks work. Any Suggestions? I am currently working in Crystal 8.5 (we have 10 but our database is not matching up).

As an alternative, at least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Manager tools listed at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html can use visible or hidden (white font) formulas anywhere within a Crystal report (including inside subreports) to create file, web, or email links at that same location within the pdf export of the report. Optionally, an image (such as a .png button image can be added to provide a GUI for the link.

Crystal Report Hyperlink to Sub-report or other report

Hi,
I would like to create a report on which the first part will show project summary page. The second part will have all project detail pages and third part with all project financial informations.
The report should work in such a way whenever user clicks on any project at first summary page this has to jump to corresponding detail page of projects.
I have the following question regarding design of this report.
1. Do I need to create a saparate report as a sub report and then merge with main report in a footer section? Or is it ok to create sub-report within main report through sub-report wizard option?
2. How can I establish hyperlink between the pages i.e. summary to detail pages?
3. back hyperlink to first pages.
I am expecting more information about hyperlink options within Crystal report.
Thanks
-Sunil Prasad

Hi Sunil
- For your first question: . Do I need to create a saparate report as a sub report and then merge with main report in a footer section? Or is it ok to create sub-report within main report through sub-report wizard option?
You can create a separate report and then insert it as a subreport in the main report or create it with sub report wizard.
Once you click on Insert -> Subreport, you can see there are two options, one is to point to an existing report and another is to create it through wizard.
- 2. How can I establish hyperlink between the pages i.e. summary to detail pages?
You can use the hyperlink between report objects. Also you can apply a customized formula for this.
Check the below SAP Notes:

Hyperlink on Crystal Report: how to popup a window without menubar?

Hyperlink on Crystal Report: how to popup a window without menubar?
Hello Experts!
I'm using VS2003 with Crystal Reports for VS2003.
I need to show a popup window clicking a hyperlink text object on my crystal report.
On the CrystalReportViewer I have set up HyperlinkTarget=_blank, and it's working fine.
But when I click on the hyperlink and shows the popup window, how can I show the popup window without menubar, toolbar, directories, etc.
Something like:
window.open('../MyPage.html?id=id001" + Cad + "',null,'menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,resizable=yes,status=yes')

Adam is correct. The closest you can get is setting the CrystalReportViewers HyperlinkTarget to _blank. It was seen as a potential security vulnerability to allow you to run scripts from a Crystal Reports. In our Enterprise product you can use a reg key called EncodeHTMLForSingleLineFieldObjects to control whether this can be turned on or off.
Unfortunately this was never ported over to our .NET CrystalReportViewer.
This is referenced in notes 1202803, 1219298, and 1219301.

Dilip Patil..

Hi Dilip,
Based on the error message "An error occurred within the report server database. This may be due to a connection failure, timeout or low disk condition within the database." it seems the issue is caused by the Report Server catalog databases are
corrupted.
To fix this issue, I suggest that you use the Reporting Services Configuration Manager to recreate the Report Server catalog databases. In addition, please make sure report server instance can connect to the report server database. For more details about Configure
a Report Server Database Connection (SSRS Configuration Manager), please see the following document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ms159133.aspx
Besides, if the issue is caused by the connection to the SQL Server Reporting Services Report Server catalog database is timeout. Please refer to the following thread:

If the problem is still existed, I would appreciate it if you could give us detailed error log, it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
Thanks,

Thanks a lot in advance

Hello,
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/topics/htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs/rwcontxt/props/pi_lay_hyperlink.htm
Example 4: Data-driven hyperlink
The following example shows a value for the Hyperlink property that specifies a link that needs to have data values provided:
HTTP://SERVER/PATH/RWSERVLET?REPORT=DEPARTMENT.JSP&P_DEPTNO=&DEPTNO

Hyperlinks within .PDF document won't open in browser.

So what I want to happen is when I click a hyperlink within a .PDF file which is opened via Adobe Reader XI, I want a new tab/browser (the link) to be opened with/in Chrome.
Currently when I hover my mouse over a link, it turns into a clicky hand thing with a tiny letter 'w' and the address floats above in a box. When I try to shift/normal/ctrl click the link, nothing happens.
Default settings in the reader and chrome.
Thanks!

Yes. If I open this .pdf file in chrome and click the link, a new tab will open with the link.
Also, I just found something else out. When I open the settings in Adobe Reader and try clicking on the 'help' links such as 'What is protected view' under 'security', I get a message saying "Online help content cannot be displayed. Verify you can launch your web browser and have access to the Internet".

Using Hyperlink in PDF Report

Dear all,
i have created a PDF report using report 10g. now i want to put a hyperlink on that report, and when i press the hyperlink , i want to execute one stored procedure.
how to do this?
Thanks & Regards

Omer,
In HTML you can set this with the attribute title. So in reports you can use the command
srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('title=mytitle');
I've not tested with pdf, but should work also.

Select list within a report

Hi All
I need help creating a report with the first column as a select list and the other columns (4 of them) will auto populate based on the selected item. This is a report region on form that will update a table when submitted.
My Table: Cost Center
Cost Center Id - PK
Cost Center
Variable
Object Code
Department Accumaltor
Year
The user would select a cost center from a dropdown within the report and the other values would be filled in.
So far I have created the select list and created a tabular form.
I'm sure if I need to even use this type of report because the user will be able to add a new record if necessary.
I think I need a process to retrieve the rest of the info from the table once the user made a selection. But where would I put that?
I've read many posts that are similiar but I need some guidance.
Thank You
Moe

Hi I wanted to include the code I'm trying to use based on various posts I found:
I found this suggestion on Denes Kubiek site and tried to modify it to be used in a report with dropdown. Un fortunately it's not working.
In the Region Header:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

</script>
ON Demand Process -
DECLARE
v_var VARCHAR2 (15);
v_yr VARCHAR2 (15);
v_obj VARCHAR2 (15);
v_acc VARCHAR2 (15);
v_dept varchar2(10);
CURSOR cur_c
IS
select variable, year, object_code,accumulation_code, dept_accum FROM cost_center_code
WHERE costcenterid= (v('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM'));
BEGIN
FOR c IN cur_c
LOOP
v_var := c.variable;
v_yr := c.year;
v_obj := c.object_code;
v_acc := c.accumulation_code;
v_dept := c.dept_accum;
END LOOP;
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
HTP.prn ('<body>');
HTP.prn ('<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f04_0001">' || v_var || '</item>'[i]);--I changed these to reference the fields within the report HTP.prn ('<item id="f05_0001">' || v_yr || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f06_0001">' || v_obj || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f07_0001">' || v_acc || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f08_0001">' || v_dept || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('</body>');

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Using stored procedures within Crystal Reports

Hello all,
Background Information:
I am trying to teach myself how to execute a stored procedure within Crystal Reports. This is an aspect of Crystal that my work group has not utilized before and we're trying to gather information on the subject. We use Oracle to create and execute functions and procedures all the time, but I've never tried this within Crystal.
I use the "Add Command" functionality within Crystal on most of my reports so that I can taylor the sql to the report. I find this easier to do versus using the ODBC connection to the tables and writing the code through the Crystal Reports wizard. I also frequently use functions within these sql statements that are inserted in the Add Command.
What I'm trying to achieve:
I have a report that needs to run as a "trial", and then later as a committed "run". This is for a monthly billing system. Essentially, the user will run the report as the "trial", preview the data, make any necessay corrections, and then later, run the actual billing run. Within my application, the bills are not actually marked as "billed" until they are actually "billed', if that makes sense. As a result, the "trial" report will need to mark the bills as "billed", generate the report, and then rollback the data (so that the bills are not "billed". Once the actual billing reports are ran, the same report will run, but with a "commit" at the end of the report so that the bills are now "billed".
I'm trying simple tests and failing (i.e. taking baby steps to learn what capabilities Crystal has):
I created as simple of a procedure as I can envision. This procedure inserts the word "test" in one of my fields for a provided account number. When I try to run this procedure via Crystal (via New Report ->History->My ODBC Database link->Stored Procedures), Crystal asks for the account number parameter, as it should. But I then receive the error message:
Database Connector Error: '42000:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle]Syntax error or access violation'
The existing ODBC connection has work great for years and years to retrieve data from tables, but this is the first time I've tried to utilize procedures. Can anybody help? And can anybody explain what the Stored Procedures link is supposed to do? Am I going down the right path?
thanks,
Noel

Hello,
Make sure the Oracle client install path is in the PATH statement. And also make sure you are using an IN/OUT cursor. CR only reads the last SELECT statement. Search the Documents area on how to create a Stored Procedure.
Also, if you are using CR XI ( 11.0 ) then upgrade to CR XI R2 and apply all service packs ( SP 6 ). Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
It may fix your issue also.
Thanks again

Can weuse Measure Object as hyperlink from summary report to detailreport

Hello All,
I have a Web-I report as shown
Group HrsSched Hrs Used
Here Hrs Used is Sum(Resultkey) for each group (grouping is done).
Now i should make this Hrs Used as hyperlink to detail report.
For that I created a variable with following code
="<a Title='SOC Sched vs Actual Report Detail'
href=\"../../../OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sWindow=New&sType=wid&sPath=[Engineering],[SOCTesterUtilization],Reports]&sDocName=SOCSchedvsActualReportDetail&lsSPeriod Begin Date="UserResponse("Period Begin Date")"&lsSPeriod End Date="UserResponse("Period End Date")"&lsMTester="[TesterVendor]"&lsMTester Category="UserResponse("Tester Category")"&lsMTime Segment="UserResponse("Time Segment")"\">"Sum([ResultKey]) + "</a>"
and placed the same in the place of Hrs Used column
But this is raising Multivalue Error as I am trying to show Sum(Resultkey ) (which is a measure)as link.
Please please do suggest me a soluiton to make this Sum(Resultkey) as link.
Thanks to all experts.

As said, On Measure no one will try to make Hyperlink.
1st time, I have seen and quite impressed, frankly speaking vishnu.
It should show because revenue has more values.
Tey like this:
Sum(revenue) is there, correct??
Edit that variable and make Qualification as Dimension instead of Measure, which will help us.
I have lots of tasks today, so not able to concentrate on SDN posts. Try above suggested.
Good luck.
Oh Vishnu,
>> First you have to create Detail report
>> Apply prompt on any Object ( The Object should be same one on Master report on which you made Hyperlink or clicking)
>> Run query
>> Save report
Now Create Master report
For the prompt Object (Detail report one), create Hyperlink on top it.
And in OpenDoc syntax select detail report.
Hope it helps you.
I'm Back
