In a dashboard-can an existing rpt be pre filtered by another rprt ?

Hi all,
New to BI.
So here's what I want to do.
In a dashboard, can an existing report be pre filtered by another report that its linked form?
Here's an example of something similar to what I'm trying to achieve:
- I have an existing dashboard report that gives a user a list of values, lets say year, and prompts user to choose one.
- The report then asks for which department for that year.
- Depending on what year and department they choose it produces a chart for all stats collected for each month of that year for that department.
All simple so far and it works.
The "issue" now is there are regions that departments fall into.
So no we want to pre filter the reports with a region selection so that the user only sees the departments for the region selected.
Now we have quite a few reports and the above is 1 of many and I suppose we could go back retrofit region into all reports.
But my question is, could we create a filter that we run and present on the dashboard before any of the existing reports?
i.e. using above example again:
- New dashboard item that asks for region. Region is set.
- The existing report gives a user a list of values, lets say year, and prompts user to choose one.
- The report then asks for which department for that year - but this time only shows departments belonging to the region as selected above.
- Depending on what year and department they choose it produces a chart for all stats collected for each month of that year for that department.
Anyone got any tips if this can be done, and guidance on where to start and how to go about it?

Hi, yes I do have the constrain checkbox checked and its good in that allows users to limit the results from the drop list.
But I was looking more for a way to allow a users to choose a region from a drop down list in a new front end report/chart and then all following existing dashboard reports run pre filtered by that region. (hope this makes sense - so hard to put these queries to words sometimes...)

Modify existing .rpt file permanently

Hello,
I need to modify an existing rpt template not at runtime but permanently in order to create a new template.
Could you tell me how to do that?
Thanks.

Hello
I am using RAS SDK and my rpt files have been created with Crystal Report 9.
I have similar problem than in the folowing post: why the properties cannot be set and saved?

Hmmmm?
emca is the program used to create/drop/update the em configuration. Not sure why you want to drop emca.
If you want to drop and recreate the em configuration, have you tried "emca ?" or "emca help=y"

hmmm, CTS = cutomizing transport?
If you have a customizing table, there are still two possibilities.
1. customize in DEV system and transport
2. customize right there where you need it.
this depends on how the maintainance view is built. If it is a simple customizing table and you get not asked for a TR when customizing a new record or changing an existing one, you hit possibility 2.

Can I Call method on one JVM from another through a dll?

Let me explain.
I have this java jar file that I can only have one instance of running at any given time. I'm using a shared data segment in a dll to store a bool indicating whether the program is already running or not. If it's already running, I have to not run the second instance and give focus to the current running instance.
The jar file calls a native method "canInstantiate()" on a dll to see if there's already an app running. If there isn't, the env and obj are stored in the shared data segment of the dll and we return true. If there is already an instance of the program running, I want canInstantiate call a function on the current instance of the jar (like a callback) to tell it to request focus. It's not working. Can someone tell me if my code is right?
The .h file
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <jni.h>
#include "CardServer.h"
#pragma data_seg("SHARED") // Begin the shared data segment.
static volatile bool instanceExists = false;
static JavaVM *theJavaVM = NULL;
static JNIEnv* theJavaEnv= NULL;
static jobject instanceObject = NULL;
static jmethodID mid = NULL;
static jclass cls = NULL;
#pragma data_seg()
#pragma comment(linker, "/section:SHARED,RWS")
jdouble canInstantiate(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj);
jdouble instantiate(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj);
jdouble uninstantiate(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj);
void grabFocus();
</code>
The .cpp file:
<code>
#include "MyFunctions.h"
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream.h>
jdouble canInstantiate(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj)
printf("In canInstantiate!!");
if (!instanceExists)
printf("No instance exists!!");
return (jdouble)0.0;
else
printf("An instance already exists!!");
grabFocus();
return (jdouble)1.0;
jdouble instantiate(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj)
printf("**In CPP: Instantiate!!\n");
cout << "At start, env is: " << env << endl;
cout << "At start, obj is: " << obj << endl;
if (instanceExists == false)
instanceExists = true;
theJavaEnv = env;
instanceObject = obj;
theJavaEnv->GetJavaVM(&theJavaVM);
cls = (theJavaEnv)->FindClass("TheMainClassOfTheJar");
if (cls == 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Can't find Prog class\n");
exit(1);
mid = (theJavaEnv)->GetMethodID(cls, "grabFocusInJava", "(I)I");
if (mid == 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Can't find grabFocusInJava\n");
exit(1);
printf("About to call grabFocusInJava\n");
grabFocus();
printf("CPP: After the grab focus command in instantiate!!\n");
cout << "At end, env is: " << env << endl;
cout << "At end, obj is: " << obj << endl;
return 0.0;
else
printf("CPP: Finished Instantiate!!\n");
return 1.0;
jdouble uninstantiate(JNIEnv *env, jobject obj)
printf("CPP: In uninstantiate!!\n");
if (instanceExists == true)
instanceExists = false;
theJavaVM = NULL;
instanceObject = NULL;
printf("CPP: Finishing uninstantiate!!\n");
return 0.0;
else
printf("CPP: Finishing uninstantiate!!\n");
return 1.0;
void grabFocus()
printf("In CPP::GrabFocus!!\n");
instanceObject = theJavaEnv->NewGlobalRef(instanceObject);
cls = (theJavaEnv)->FindClass("CardFormatter");
if (cls == 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Can't find Prog class\n");
exit(1);
printf("Got the cls id again!!\n");
if (cls == 0)
printf("IT'S INVALID!!\n");
mid = (theJavaEnv)->GetMethodID(cls, "grabFocusInJava", "(I)I");
if (mid == 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "Can't find grabFocusInJava\n");
exit(1);
theJavaEnv->CallIntMethod(instanceObject, mid, 2);
printf("Called grabFocusInJava\n");

Can I Call method on one JVM from another through a dll
...The rest of your question merely expands on your title.
And the answer to that question is no.
When you call a method you are executing a "thread of execution." A thread of execution exists only in a single process. It can not exist in another process.
If the dll is doing some interesting things then you could call a method that sets a flag. Data can move between instances. But you would then have to have a thread in that different process monitoring that flag. And sharing data in a dll is not a normal process, so it would have to be coded appropriately.
If all you want to do is set the current focus to the existing application, then that can be done with existing windows functionality. You don't need to do anything special in your dll. You can probably search these forums to find the exact code. If not there are countless examples in windows repositories (like MSDN) on how to do that.

You can't transfer content from one account to another account, nor can you merge accounts - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it

How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

Welcome to the forum.
I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I transfer information from one ipad to another?

how can I transfer information from one ipad to another ?

What kind of information? You can sync things like Contacts and Calendars by using iCloud. You can backup one iPad to iTunes on a computer and then sync the backup to the other iPad. You can configure your iTunes content and sync the same content to both iPads.
It is based on what you want to do. Or are you looking for a way to send files from one iPad to another wirelessly? There are apps to do things like that, as well as cloud services, such as DropBox.
