Infoview not prompting for parameters

Hi all,
quite basic question but I have spent hours on this now so decided to ask.
I have a Crystal report based on BW query which has date range as mandatory variable.
How do I control whether the Crystal report promts for that variable or not when opening. When I open the Crystal Report from INfoview it does not prompt for this parameter, although it did so previously.
Is the setting with the paramter in the CR or with report options?
thanks

Hi,
can you please check if the option Save data with the report is selected? You will find this under the File menu in the CR designer. If the option is selected then the report will not try to fetch data from the database when opened and therefore will not prompt you for the date variable. In this case you will have to refresh the report explicitely in the InfoView

Report does not prompt for parameters when SeparatePages=False

Hi all. We are using CR2008 Basic w/SP1 along with VS2008. Within our application, reports pull up fine and prompt for parameters using the CrystalReportViewer against the web service. SeparatePages is set to True. We want to change SeparatePages to False, but when I do that any report that should prompt for parameters is not.
The reports were created in CR 8.5. We have upgraded them to CR2008 (open, refresh, save) which has greatly increased performance. With some further testing, I've discovered that if I take a report that doesn't currently have any parameters and add one via VS2008 report designer, it WILL prompt for the parameter when I run it in our application with SeparatePages=False.
So I'm leaning that the problem has to do with the reports originally being created in 8.5. I've tried modifying an existing report with parameters, deleting parameters and re-adding, but I still can't get these to prompt for parameters with SeparatePages=False.
Again, these same reports prompt for parms and work fine as long as SeparatePages=True. I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this. There are over 400 reports so re-creating them from scratch under CR2008 will be a painful option
If I need to provide any additional information just let me know. Thank you!
Sheila

We are still working to resolve this issue. Testing has shown that for reports that don't return a lot of data, the prompt for parameters will display. But for larger reports, we just see the hour glass and the parameter prompt never displays. It's almost like the reports are trying to return the full dataset without any paramters being passed BEFORE it will prompt for parameters. This would explain why smaller reports will prompt and larger reports never will (?). Not sure that is what is happening. Again, with SeparatePages=True we are immediately given the parameter prompt. With SeparatePages=False we run into the issue of no prompts.
Here's the code behind if it help:
ReportDocument report = new ReportDocument();
try
    String rptFileName = @"App_Data\Reports\" + Request.QueryString.GetValues(0).GetValue(0).ToString();
    log.writeLog("Loading Report: " + rptFileName);
    String rptFile = Server.MapPath(rptFileName);
    report.Load(rptFile);
    report.Refresh();
    ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
    log.writeDebugLog("ServerName : " + rProperties.ODBCSource);
    crConnectionInfo.ServerName = rProperties.ODBCSource;
    log.writeDebugLog("DatabaseName : " + rProperties.ODBCSource);
    crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = rProperties.ODBCSource;
    log.writeDebugLog("UserID : " + rProperties.ODBCUser);
    crConnectionInfo.UserID = rProperties.ODBCUser;
    log.writeDebugLog("Password : " + rProperties.ODBCPassword);
    crConnectionInfo.Password = rProperties.ODBCPassword;
    foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in report.Database.Tables)
        TableLogOnInfo crTableLogOnInfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
        crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
        table.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo);
catch (Exception err)
    log.writeLog("Error Loading Report: " + err.ToString());
    this.lblError.Text = err.ToString();
    this.ErrorTable.Visible = true;
    this.ReportTable.Visible = false;
    return;
CrystalReportViewer1.HasCrystalLogo = false;
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = report; // _serverFileReport;

Crystal reports viewer will not prompt for parameters

Help,
I can not get crystal report viewer to prompt for parameters when called from IIS 8 on Server 2012 r2
I can get crystal report viewer to prompt for parameters when run from vs 2010 built in web service.

Thanks,
The solution for me was to uninstall the latest crystal reports runtime 13.10.x and install 13.6.x instead.
Thanks anyway.

Not Prompting for Parameters in .jsp page

Post Author: montgomm
CA Forum: General
We have defined an input parameter to our report and it will successfully prompt for the input parameter within the designer preview. However, once we build a .jsp page to contain the report and load it to our server, when we run it, it never prompts for any parameters. It does display the report in the .jsp, but it appears to be always running for the last parameters that we entered for the report in the designer.Any suggestions on correcting this?Is there any good documentation on parameter passing in .jsp pages?

Yes.
You can create a form in one jsp and have it's value sent in a parameter key to another jsp file identified as the action target.
Here is code for first jsp file (i.e. first.jsp). This will give you a text input box and a submit button labeled sendit.
<form action=second.jsp>
<input type=text name=filename>
<input type=submit name=Submit value="SendIT">
</form>
Here is code snibit to get the param in the second jsp file (ie. second.jsp)
StringBuffer theparam = new StringBuffer();
theparam.append(request.getParameter("filename"));
out.println("The second jsp got param=" +theparam);
Hope you get it workin'

Not prompting for the parameters of stored procedures while running

Hi All,
I have a stored proc which takes in 3 parameters and execute a copy of a record in a table based on the 3 parameters which I pass in.
When I use the proc in crystal reports (Crystal Reports 2008), it is not prompting for the parameter values if we execute the report directly. It's prompting the values only when I do 'Veriyf Database' from the menu. Why is it not prompting for values when executing directly. Am I missing anything here?
Also, I have a C# .net project which uses the report and take in input parameters. Even there, previously, I used to call the VerifyDatabase () first and then the SetParameterValues () which was working fine for regular expressions. But for this report (which uses stored procedure), it is not giving the desired output (copying data), even though the report doesn't fail to run. But when I changed the order of the call to have SetParameterValues () before the call to VerifyDatabase (), it works fine (copies the data for the given input parameters).
Please let me know what is missing here? Is the order of the call to VerifyDatabase () and SetParameterValues () matters? If so, why is it working for regular expressions and not for stored procs?
Please clarify.
Thanks,
Siva.

I recommend posting this to the Crystal Reports Design forum. As I read it:

the report directly. It's prompting the values only when I do 'Verify Database' from the menu. Why is it not prompting
for values when executing directly. Am I missing anything here?
The issue is in the CR designer 1st. So it needs to be resolved there before moving on to the CR SDK in .NET.

Prompt for parameters, but save password

I have a report that prompts the user to select a date range for query results. I am using a 3rd party program to view the report. Under Report Options, I have disabled "save data with report" so that it prompts for the dates each time the report is opened. The problem is that is also prompts for the password to the database. Is there a way to set up the report to ask for a date range, but not ask for the password each time? The third party program does not prompt for the password, so when trying to view the report, it just errors out. I am new to CR, so I've only being doing this for a couple of day. Thanks.

Hi Dustin,
You said you are using 3rd party program ? What is this program ? Is it developed using .net or Java ? If this is java based of .net based then you can pass user login information through coding.
Otherwise it is not possible to stop asking user credentials when you refresh crystal reports.
Thanks,
Sastry

Report Preview in CMC keeps prompting for parameters ...

Dear Experts, I am trying to see the preview of a report in CMC (CMC -> Folders -> Browse to the report and then click on review). It prompts for parameters and I enter the parameters. The report shows the result but then prompts for the parameters again. I check the same report in Dev and QA and they work. All these systems have same configuration, same version of IE and same settings. I check them all. Kindly point out if I'm missing something. I appreciate any help.

Hi
what exactly do you mean by:
The report shows the result but then prompts for the parameters again
Is your report shown and after X seconds it prompts again for the parameters automatically?

OVM Server 2.1.2 does not prompt for Networking

OVM Server 2.1.2 does not prompt for a network setup (ie DHCP or static IPs).
- I tried re-installing this several times
This same machine works with native Enterprise Linux 5.2 x86-64 networking.
The motherboard has two onboard Realtek 8111C chips (10/100/1000 Mbit)
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2842
Will setting up networking by hand work with OVM Server 2.1.2?

OK I finaly made my Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller to work.
First install an Ethernet card in your box that OVM supports. This to make the OVM installation run smoothly.
When OVM is up and running follow the steps in [Mini-HOWTO] RPMs needed to compile a kernel-module on / for VM Server to get a working environment to compile modules.
Now get the driver for the unsupported card from ftp://61.56.86.122/cn/nic/r8168-8.008.00.tar.bz2 .
Unpack the file by running;:
tar -jxvf r8168-8.008.00.tar.bz2
Now follow the steps in the included readme file to compile and install the driver.
After this I edited the file /etc/modules.conf and changed the line
alias eth0 xxx
to
alias eth0 r8168
I then turned of the machine and removed my temporary network card.
When booted I ran system-config-network to configure the network once more to the original values I entered when I installed.

Windows 8 setup does not prompt for license key, then fails, on hp envy notebook

Hi,
I am trying to install Windows 8 pro on an hp envy dv7 notebook, that came with a Windows 8 home pre-installed.
I tried by running the setup from the CD inserted while Windows was running, but setup complained that no license key matched the CD and faled. Strange enough,
setup did not prompt for any license key!
I tried the setup on another, older PC, there it did prompt for license key and setup ended well. At least it was not the CD.
Then I retried booting from setup CD, it loaded files, then started the setup without promptiing for any license key, and failed again.
Then I tried with a Windows 7 CD, same behavior, not prompting for license key and fail to setup.
Then I "repaired" Windows by booting from CD and reformatting the hard drive, dropping all Windows partitions, then restart setup from CD, but it still behaved the same way: not prompting for license key, and failing to setup.
I called the HP support, and they answered that it was a problem for Microsoft (what a good support, the only place where the problem occurs is the hp computer, but let the Customer call Microsoft instead).
So here I am, did any of you use an hp computer, and succeeded in installing Windows 8 PRO NFR from Technet plus on it?

Is it a Chinese Editon preinstalled in HP notebook?
Windows 8 preinstall machine includes a license key in system firmware. So Windows 8 setup will use this key rather than pop up product key input text pop. It is a Microsoft by design issue. So no good mathod to workaround this problem.

HT1595 Will not prompt for new password, if invalid password was entered

Will not prompt for a new password after an invalid password was entered

I am installing a Apple TV, when I select my router from the list it prompted me for the password. I entered an old password in error, so it would not connect. Now when I reselect my router it does not prompt for a new password, it uses the old incorrect one and does not connect. I need to be able to re-enter the correct one.

Send to OneNote from Outlook does not prompt for location

Hello
Since the most recent update, the Send To OneNote feature in Outlook does not prompt for a location but seems to be defaulting to the same notebook each time - even if it is not the active notebook. I've tried repairing Office 365 but it did not work. Is
this a known issue?
Thank you

ADF panel does not prompt for variable defined in ADF view object.

I have created an ADF Panel, which allows the user to run a few simple queries against an Oracle database done using ADF view objects and ADF view links and ADF application module.
One of these queries lookup detail information about a given database object (Table, view or whatever) from dba_objects. The SQL uses a parameter (:P_OBJ_NAME) that has a default value of “Departments”. If I run the ADF application module by itself outside of the ADF panel, all works fine, it prompts me to provide a value for the parameter :P_OBJ_NAME.
As I said the panel contains the different ADF view links including the one that should prompt the user to provide a value for :P_OBJ_NAME. When I run the panel it does not prompt me for :P_OBJ_NAME, it just uses the default defined value “departments”.
I hope I described my problem for every one to understand. The question obviously is how do I get the ADF panel to prompt the user to provide a value for parameter :P_OBJ_NAME, my expectation was that since the sql in the view object and the application module both are designed to prompt for a value for this parameter then the panel should do just that but it does not.
You expert input would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
Bobby A.

The prompting for a parameter is a feature we built into the ADF Tester - it is not a default behavior you get in your application when you just place a VO on your page.
To get something like this expend the operations node under the VO in the data control palette, and drag the "Execute with parameters" operation to your page to drop it as a parameter form.
This will provide your user a place to fill out the parameter and press a button to execute the query.

Stop Crystal from Prompting for Parameters

Hi there,
I am trying to stop Crystal from prompting for a parameter that has the Optional Prompt flag set to True as I want to use the HasNoValue attribute to retrieve all records when there is not a specific value sent to the parameter.
When the parameter is created from a store procedure, I can simply set the value to nothing and handle the resulting NULL in the procedure.
I was expecting that I could do the same for the regular parameters but this returns a "parameter field and parameter field current values are not compatible" error.
I have tried setting the HasCurrentValue to True but this is a read only attribute.
I have also tried setting the Viewer.ReuseParameterValuesOnRefresh to False (and True) but the report still prompts for the parameter.
I have searched the web for the last two days and have had no joy on this so any help or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanking you in advance

Hi Don,
I am using Crystal 2008 for both the report and the assemblies.
Using the word All is not really an option as I need to process all types of parameters i.e. Boolean, integers and dates as well as strings.
I could create some complex formulas to handle this but I need the report creation to be simple as possible as possible so that the customer can create reports at will.
Using the Optional Prompt feature now available in 2008 I can create a simple record selection formula that looks like something like this :-
(not HasValue({?MyParameter}) OR {Table1.Field1} = {?MyParameter})
My problem is getting the parameter to register through my code that it has been set to HasValue = False so that the user is not prompted by the viewer to enter the parameter again.
