Image toolbar appears over Crystal reports chart in Infoview

I am publishing Crystal reports developed across a Universe in my BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 InfoView. I have done few line charts in the Crystal reports. I am running on Internet Explorer 7 but my clients are running on Internet Exploreer 6.0. When my clients view Crystal reports (in Infoview) on their browser, the charts are identified as images in their infoview by Internet Explorer 6 browser and it keeps showing the Image toolbar ( the small toolbar which popups over the images in IE 6 prompting you to Save this image/Open this image/Save In My Pictures toolbar etc..)
Please try this link http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/using/howto/customizing/phototoolbar.mspx to know what an image toolbar is.
This little feature got included in Intenet Explorer 6 by which any image identified by the web browser will automatically popup this Image toolbar. It won't happen in Internet Explorer 7.0.
If i am developing a website and do not want this image toolbar appearing over my images in my site I can code accordingly. But i am clueless about the Crystal Reports/Business Objects Infoview environment and how to get rid of this toolbar.
The one option i got is to ask my users who use IE 6.0 to go to Tools->Internet Options->Advanced tab->Multimedia ->uncheck the checkbox Enable image toolbar. Unfortunately my users login under citrix environment and their default browser settings will be restored every day morning they login.
Any ideas?

Hi Michael,
Unfortunately BusinessObjects does not control these settings when accessing the InfoView. It sounds like it'll need to be addressed by the system administrator to disable that option in IE through user profiles/applications.

Wallie

Error Bars - Can Error Bars be added to Crystal Report Charts

I am trying to add or create "error bars" in my cystral report chart (graph). I can add "error bars" in an Excel sheet chart (graph) but I cannot find the functionality in crystal reports.
Is it possible to "error bars" to a crystal report chart. If so, how?

Hi,
I don't see that this functionality or this kind of chart exists in CR.
I would suggest that you log an Enhancement Request at http://ideas.sap.com and let our developers look into this.

Dynamically change an image at runtime in Crystal Report

Hello,
I am using crystal report included in VS 2005 and want to display an image at runtime. I have tried using Picture control and OLE Object of crystal report, but did not get any success. I have googled for this and most of them are saying Right Click on Picture
control->Format Object->Select Picture Tab->Click on X2 next to Graphic Location. But I do not found any Graphic location field in picture tab. Pl see the attached screen shot.
Can anyone guide me how to load an image at runtime in crystal reports?
I am using CrystalReport11 and VS2005. It's a VC++/MFC project.

If you are using Crystal Report for Visual Studio, ask at http://forums.sdn.sap.com/forum.jspa?forumID=313

Load Multiple Images using link in Crystal Report

Hi Guys,
I am currently in need of developing a new requirement for our company's client. We have to load multiple images using just link in Crystal Report. Let's say that the images are stored in a folder (e.g., C:\Datafolder\Images\) and i have to fetch two images to show in crystal report (say, C:\Datafolder\Images\imageval1 and C:\Datafolder\Images\imageval2). These are actually dynamically created and therefore the number of images are not known and so i have to iterate through the list of image links.
Is it possible using merely crystal report and how?. Please take note that we're also using C# in developing our software applications.
Thanks and best regards.
---CHITO--

Hi Chito,
You cannot load multiple images dynamically. Using the 'graphic location' formula for the OLE Object, you can only point to a location that can load one image.
For the second image, you'll need to manually insert another OLE Object and point the formula to the next image's location.
You can try posting to the SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio space to find out whether this can be done using CR SDK.

Custom data labels in Crystal Reports charts

Hi,
I have a problem with charts in Crystal Reports. The notation prescribe e.g. that positive values appears a plus (+21) and negative values a minus (-21).
The problem is, that I canu2019t assign custom values to the data labels (e.g. the value is 20 but I want to show +20 or 18 or something else).
Furthermore, its a problem that I can't scaling depending on a formula field. This is required that all charts in the report have the same scale and are dynamically depending on the values in the report.
I need a solution to both problems, or a workaround.
Thanks in advance
Kevin

Crystal Report chart with VB6 help...

Hello!....I m using crystal report with visual basic 6.......i develop a report in crystal report in which i add a chart control......when i see preview in crystal report and move mouse over chart then on Tool tip i get each data point shown on mouse movement......
but when i open this report in VB...and run project and move mouse over it the i only get "CHART"...for whole movement.....how i can get data values for mouse movement in VB6??.....thanks in advance........

How and Why...
In Crystal Report Designer the viewer is built into the executable and therefore has direct access to the report objects. The Charting dll is also a third party dll which we have hooks into in CR Designer and can get and pass the required info from the charting dll to the internal viewer. It's all processed on the local PC.
In code there are limitations as to what the ActiveX and other viewers have access to due to WEB issues. When viewing reports from a WEB app we are passing each page to the browser in a proprietary "picture" format of each page therefore there is no way to capture where the mouse is when it's over a chart object, it is an embedded picture also. Same for non-web applications, it's a limitation of the browsers and viewers mostly.

Inserting Dynamic Images in to a Crystal Report 10

Hi all,
I am trying to insert dynamic pictures into my report from repository, by getting the path for the picture from database fields. The version that I am using is Crystal Reports 10.
Here is what I have done.
I inserted an OLE object into the report, went to "Format Graphics" by right clicking on the OLE object, then to "Hyperlink" Tab (as I didn't see anything other than "Reset" button and picture dimension options under the "Picture" tab), and selected "File" Radio button (as I didn't want to display the picture as Hyperlink) and gave the @Filepath as the formula there. @Filepath is the formula that gives me the complete path for the JPEG that I need to insert in the report.
filepath = field A + field B
where field A is the location for the image and field B is the actual image name.
the actual image is located in repository folder.
I am not able to see the image in the report "Preview" section as it is showing it has an empty box and when I click on that empty OLE object, I am able to view the image in a separate window where as my requirement is to view the image within the report (not in a separate window).
I didn't find anything useful under Format Graphics -> Picture tab.
I appreciate any kind of help from you all.
Thanks!

That feature wasn't available nor was it supported in CR 10. You'll have to upgrade to CR Xi R2 or 2008 to allow using a database field as the location of the file.
CR 10 would only load the picture when the report is opened, it will never update when clicking on the refresh button.

Migrating from Crystal Reports Charts using TopN and "Other" to Reporting Services

I am currently migrating several Crystal Reports that have charts. The chart series is set to use the TopN values in a count, and combine the rest of the series into one series titled "Other". I see how to filter the chart using TopN, however I need to still show the rest of the data grouped as "Other". I think the solution I need is to create a group expression that uses some sort of IIF function to create the "Other" group, but I haven't found a function that I can use to get the results I need. Any ideas?

We were looking at report deployment options and evaluating SSRS vs Crystal Report Server. There were several reasons we decided to go with SSRS:
Cascading Parameters
Ability to use multiple data sets in one report
SSRS seemed more user-friendly than CRS
There were a few other considerations I can remember now, but the final reason was price. My company already had the licenses for SQL Server. However, even if that was not a consideration I still would have gone with SSRS.
Hope this info helps.

Crystal Report Chart Problem: No trendlines with regression

Hi,
I have a severe problem with chart trendlines in Crystal Reports 2008 (12.3.0.601).
Trendlines with regression do not work, whereas average and moving average work on charts with data axis but not with numerical axis.
Does anyone has an idea, how to solve it.
Best regards
Michael

hi,
Try to create a bar chart with Year, Quarter as dimensions and Sales revenue as measure.
Now your chart has legend which shows quarter values.
Right Click the Legend value Q1 -> Series Options -> Trendline.
Choose the required regression type: Linear/ Polynomial/ Logarthmic/ exponential/ Moving Average.
This will show the required trend line.

Crystal Report Chart not showing up in Web Portal

I have a created a chart using Crystal Reports(runs fine in Crystal) and published it on our Report Server. When I went to look at the report on our Web portal, the text objects were visible however the chart was not. Portal is in JSF technology (IceFaces) on JBoss server.
Anyone know why this happening?
I founded post
[Re: Crystal Viewer in Servlet does not show graphics|Re: Crystal Viewer in Servlet does not show graphics]
I have this in web.xml

I haven't file "crystalimagehandler.jsp" I also didn't found "crystal7652571164231307864.png" file. how to resolve this problem?

Yes I did. I created file "crystalreportviewers115" in my "WEB-INF" and coped there all file from "C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0\crystalreportviewers12\".
In tutorial which i founded [here|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/businessobjectsxir2/en/en/JRC_SDK/jrc_java_dg_doc/doc/jrcsdk_java_dg/Tutorials2.html#1459845] they saying that I must copy file "crystalreportviewers115" but in my case I have "crystalreportviewers12" and:
- ChartSupport
- java
- managed
In my case i haven't file "crystalreportviewers115" but "crystalreportviewers12".
In eclipse the structure of my app (its "Dynamic Web Project") looks like:
- myapp:

Fields in Stored Procedure does not appear in Crystal reports 2008.

hi,
I am now using crystal reports 2008 evaluation copy for 30 days. I am trying to create a stored procedure with parameter, here is my sample Stored Procedure code;
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `puerto`.`SP_FindEmployees`$$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost` PROCEDURE `SP_FindEmployees`(SIDNo VARCHAR(10))
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE IDNo=SIDNo;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
when i try to call the procedure in sqlyog here is my sample code;
CALL sp_findemployees('0000000001')
it is successfull, but when i try to connect it with crystal reports 2008 I got no fields in my stored procedure andi got this error message ;
"Database Connector: 'HY00:[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.1.33-community]incorect number of arguments for procedure puerto.sp_findemployees; expected 1, got 0 [Database vendor code: 1318]"
CR2008 was not asking a parameter values.
But when I try using stored procedure that i've made in MSSQL, CR2008 asking parameters and succefully created the reports needed.
My Objective is to make a stored procedure in MySQL by using select statement and filter it with parameter(s) that I will pass and CR2008 will use this stored procedure.
i also try the view with this code below and it was successfull in CR2008.
DELIMITER $$

Getting Image from database in crystal report

Hi Experts,
I have a user UDF which has Image datatype. I store all the image in C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\Bitmaps\ folder.Now i have to show this image in my crystal report. When i tried to pick this image from database it gives me only the name of image with extension like abc.jpg . How could i achive this in crystal report.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Om
As you have the location of the image, you can insert it as an OLE object onto the report.
Click on Insert -> OLE Object -> specify the path of the image.
For more information, please refer to Crystal Reports help.

Crystal Reports Charting Issue with SAP Function Module

I created a custom SAP Function module that returns 2 tables. The first table (summary table) contains two columns, column "a" contains a grouping and column "b" is a quantity. The second table is the detail and is linked to the first table by the grouping, column "a" , in both tables. I can bring the function module into Crystal Reports, but cannot create a drill down using a pie chart off the summary table. When I go into the Chart Expert - Data Tab only the Advance button is active and the Group, Cross-Tab, and OLAP buttons are deactivated. First of all, is it possible to do this using a SAP Function Module, if yes, what am I doing wrong.

hello Jhess,
i am not sure if you found an answer for your question yet. if you have a Group and a Summary on your report (i.e. the Sum of your Quantity field) then group charts should be enabled.
cheers,
jamie

Crystal Report Promting in Infoview

Hi together,
I've got a crystal report based on a SAP BW Query with about 20 parameters. I've published
the report into the infoview.
If I start the report in the infoview I've to confirm every parameter with his own "Add"-Button.
Is there a chance to combine all the 20 "Add-Buttons" in one Button. This would make it
more easy and comfortable to use the report.
Any hints? Searching the documentation /forum was not successfull.
Lars

Hi,
I've published the CR into the infoview with the "save as" button in the SAP-Toolbar in Crystal Reports.
Then with a left click I've started the report. Then I've to fill the parameters, one after another with there own "add"-button.
Is this what u mean with On Demand?
FYI:
The System-Landscape is a CR2008, BOE 3.1 Fixpack 1.8 SAP BI 7.0 SP 18 and SAP Integration Kit.
