Interactive Sort using RAS SDK

We are creating a report from scratch using RAS SDk. In our report we want to enable interactive (dynamic) sort for some of the columns. We are unable to figure out a method that provides this functionality.
Thanks.

I don't think this is possible. Last time I tried this was when the product released approx 2 years ago and I have not heard of this functionality being added in.

Unable to use RAS SDK for server-side printing for XI 3.1

Hi all,
I am using RAS SDK for server-side printing. Here are my codes:
ISessionMgr sessionMgr = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr();
IEnterpriseSession enterpriseSession = sessionMgr.logon("Administrator", "", "cdi5boe", "secEnterprise");
IInfoStore iStore = (IInfoStore) enterpriseSession.getService("InfoStore");
//out.println("Current User is = " + enterpriseSession.getUserInfo().getUserName());
//out.println ("<br>");
IInfoObjects infoObjects = iStore.query("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_Kind='CrystalReport' AND SI_NAME = 'Sales Print'");
IInfoObject infoObject = (IInfoObject)infoObjects.get(0);
IReportAppFactory reportAppFactory = (IReportAppFactory) enterpriseSession.getService("RASReportFactory");
ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocument();
rcd = reportAppFactory.openDocument(infoObject,0, java.util.Locale.US);
//Create print options to use when printing.
PrintReportOptions printOptions = new PrintReportOptions();
printOptions.setPrinterName("
cdi5boe
HPLaserJ");
printOptions.setJobTitle("Test Printer Job");
printOptions.setPrinterDuplex(PrinterDuplex.horizontal);
printOptions.setPaperSource(PaperSource.auto);
printOptions.setPaperSize(PaperSize.paperLetter);
printOptions.setNumberOfCopies(1);
printOptions.setCollated(false);
PrintReportOptions.PageRange printPageRange = new PrintReportOptions.PageRange(1,1);
printOptions.addPrinterPageRange(printPageRange);
//Print report.
rcd.getPrintOutputController().printReport(printOptions);
When I run the report, I got the following errors:
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKPrinterException: com.businessobjects.crystalreports.printer.bean.ReportPrinter---- Error code:-2147215357 Error code name:internal
I consult the Diamond Technical Community and I found the issue related to printer name:
https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/498
However, I did check the printer name, it is accessible via Windows Explorer.
Anyone knows how to resolve this?
Regards,
Derek

It doesn't appear to be listed as a dependency in the developer docs, but would you try putting the ReportPrinter.jar in your RAS app?

How to create cross tab reports using RAS SDK api with Crystal Reports XI

Hi Everybody,
Iam generating reports in a web-based application with Crystal Reports XI using Report Application Server(RAS) SDK API. The columns in my report exceed that of an A4 sized page. So, when I export that report to pdf, only those columns that fit to a page are showing up. To solve, this problem, I thought of using cross tab. But, I donot know how to generate cross tab report using RAS SDK API. I have tried to get some code from the internet. But, I did not find any java code for that.Can some one give me some sample code.It is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The easiest way I use is to create the worksheet as regular table and then when i verify the data I get (non aggregate) I duplicate it as a cross tab.
In the duplication wizard I just need to define the axis (using drag and drop).
if you want to create a cross tab from the beginning you need to define that in the new workbook wizard (check the "cross tab" rather then "table"), chose your fields and define the place you want them.
The data point (the center of the cross tab) is aggregated as to your machine definition and will happen automatically.
for example: to find the amount of receipt by months:
On the left put the "Buyer Name", on top put the "Months" and in the data point put the amount.
What you'll get is something like:
months: jan feb mar apr ......
buyer_name
jhon_smith 100 50 30 250 ......
jhon_doe 80 45 90 453 ........
and so on.....

Can I do CRUD operation on a businessview object using RAS SDK.or BO SDK?

I want to add a filter to my businessview using BO SDK or RAS SDK. and also want to do some CRUD operations on businessview uisng SDK. is there any way to add a filter to business view using RAS SDK?
I can get the businessView and set it as a datasource to ReportClient Document. now I want to add a filter to businessView and save the modification.
please refer the code for better clarity.
ISessionMgr sessionMgr = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr();
               IEnterpriseSession enterpriseSession = sessionMgr.logon(
                         "Administrator", "amam!984", "cura-ws-78:6400",
                         "secEnterprise");
               IInfoStore iStore = (IInfoStore) enterpriseSession
                         .getService("InfoStore");
               IInfoObjects infoObjects = iStore
                         .query("Select * From CI_APPOBJECTS where SI_NAME='BusinessViewName'");
               IInfoObject infoObject = (IInfoObject) infoObjects.get(0);
IReportAppFactory reportAppFactory = (IReportAppFactory) enterpriseSession
                         .getService("RASReportFactory");
               ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocument();
               rcd= reportAppFactory.newDocument(null);
               rcd.getDatabaseController().addDataSource(infoObject);
After this can I add a filter to the businessview here?
All the reply are highly appreciated and thanks in advance to all for sharing knowledge.

Sunil Kumar Sahoo

There's currently no public SDK for CRUD of Business Views.

Interactive sorting using java crystalReportViewer

we are building a crystal report web project using eclipse gallieo.
technologies used are Struts2 AND jsp.
And our requirement is to show interactive sorting as well as to export as HTML as crystal report viewer toolbar option .
we have done a lot searching using google but didnot find any useful.
so if it is possible please provide some code for it.

An old fashioned way to add dynamic sorting is to use a group on a variable that reverses the letters of the text values depending on which column and whether user chooses Ascending or Descending. Does not even need SDK. The HTML export can be done using report parts but will not do well for full complex reports.
We provide both these features in our Dashboard Launch product seen on the Ecohub

How do I diagnose   No error     when using RAS SDK ?

How do I diagnose the "No error." message to figure out what the real error is?
I've enabled -crpetrace 7 in the Report Application Server, but the logs it generates don't mean much to me.
I 'm attempting to use the SDK via Java. Some existing reports work fine with the RAS, but some don't (or I wouldn't be posting here). The current one I'm having issue with has 2 tables, (mainreport1234table0_ttx and mainreport1234table1_ttx). I try to set the datasource like so:
rcd.getDatabaseController().setDataSource(resultSetList.get(0),tableAlias,tableAlias);
and immediately get this exception with no further details:
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKServerException:

What can I do to diagnose this further?
Is there something I should be looking for in the Diagnostics log? It doesn't carry much meaning for me.

Loading image in Crystal Reports using RAS SDK

Hello,
I have a weird problem when I try to add dynamically an to a report.
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PictureObject boPictureObject;
boPictureObject = boReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.ImportPicture(
HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(imageURL), boSection, 1, 1);
The program rise a COMException with the following message "The specified path was not found.". I verified the path I'm using and it's fine. Is there another cause for this exception?!
Edited by: Rahma Sayari on Feb 23, 2012 4:32 PM

Hello
I don't think there is another reason for the error.
I'd like you to try the code as follows though:
boPictureObject = boReportClientDocument.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.ImportPicture(Server.MapPath("my_image.jpg"), boSection, 1, 1);
E.g.; I do wonder if using HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(imageURL) is the issue here (permissions, etc., etc.)

How to create a subreport link programmaticly using java RAS sdk

Hi,
I want to create subreport link for couple of main report parameters programmaticly using RAS sdk.
Main report has Param1 and Param2. I need to link these parameters to sub-report which doesn't have any parameters, so I can pass the parameters value just once when running the report and consume it's value in the sub-report.
Below is the code I tried but I get "Invalid field name"error when I try to save the main report.
ISubreportClientDocument subReportDoc = subReportCntrl
.getSubreport(subReports.getString(i));
SubreportLinks srLinks = subReportCntrl.getSubreportLinks(subReports.getString(i));
SubreportLink subRptLink1 = new SubreportLink();
Fields paramFields = reportClientDoc.getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
subRptLink1.setMainReportFieldName(paramFields.get(0).toString());
subRptLink1.setSubreportFieldName(paramFields.get(0).toString());
SubreportLink subRptLink2 = new SubreportLink();
subRptLink2.setMainReportFieldName(paramFields.get(1).toString());
subRptLink2.setSubreportFieldName(paramFields.get(1).toString());
srLinks.add(subRptLink1);
srLinks.add(subRptLink2);
subReportCntrl.setSubreportLinks(subReports.getString(i), srLinks);
Thanks,

Is it OK to open a CR Report with JRC/Gemini which is modified by RAS SDK?

Dear all
Is it OK to open a CR Report with JRC/Gemini which is modified by RAS SDK? Especially after I use RAS SDK to change report database location.
I test it OK, but my Customer need to confirm this.
Thanks a lot.

RAS SDK - meaning RAS server?
There's intrinsic limitations for Crystal Reports Java (JRC for CR4E Version 2), such as database connectivity (only Java-based ones) when compared to RAS server.
But CRJ does support Crystal Reports 2008 reports within those limitations.
By the way, the new CR4E Version 2 Crystal Reports Java SDK is essentially the in-process RAS SDK - so you can make modifications using that. Note that JRC SDK (version 11.8 and below) are deprecated with CR4E Version 2), then new way si the the Crystal Reports Java SDK.

Crystal Report based on Universe and RAS SDK missing functionality

Hi,
In Crystal Report Designer Application i can select Universe as a data source for the Crystal Report and on the query panel construct the actual query using Universe objects and conditions.
Now, my question is how can i do the same PROGRAMMATICALLY. I.e. i want to make a new or take an existing crystal report, check if it's based on universe, then access the actual universe query structure and construct/modify the query by operating with the actual Universe objects and conditions.
I tried to use RAS SDK for this, but i could only access Tables that dont even show on which universe they are based on.
Should i use some other SDK to do this?
Thanks,
Roman.

Thanks for your response. Ok, if it's so complicated, then i'm not concerned about universe query creation. I have more specific questions now:
1) You've said that CrystalReport stores Universe SI_CUID values that it connects to. Let's say i have 3 tables based on universes in the report. What is the best way to determing which universe correspond to which table using RAS SDK?
I looked at ConnectionInfo for each table, it sais that it's based on universe, but it DOES NOT have universe CUID property.
Using Enterprise SDK i can access SI_UNIVERSE_INFO of ProcessingInfo for report InfoObject and see the list of universes used, but they are not matched to the actual tables, so i cannot really find out which universe belongs to which table.
2) If EXISTING CrystalReport is based on Universe, is it possible to retrieve the actual universe objects and conditions used in this report? I can see that field names correspond to object names, BUT i also need a parent class name, becuase object is NOT identified by it's name only withing the universe.

Invalid Export Options RAS SDKs

Hi All,
As given in post Re: XML Export - Cannot select format CR2008 SP2 We are using RAS sdks and given sample code but still we are gettting same error i.e. Invalid Export Options.
Is this also scheduled to be fixed in SP3.
Thanks,

Hi, Stanly;
The RAS code given in that post should work. Which service pack level and version of Crystal Reports are you using?
Can you show the code you are using?

RAS SDK exporting issue

Hi everyone,
We are using RAS SDK to export report from crystal reports server 2008 (version 12).
The report is designed in development environment, and tested based on data from development database (Oracle). The report is saved without storing saved data.
In the development environment, we are able to export reports without any problem. We can also run the report via CMC console.
In the production environment, on the other hand, things went wrong.
We modified database login configuration of the report to point to production database in CMC console (use custom db login option). The report can be viewed smoothly on CMC.
However, when we try to retrieve data from RAS SDK using printoutcontroller.export, the following exception is thrown.
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKLogonException: Database logon failed.---- Error code:-2147217393 Error code name:dbLogonFailed
We tried to verify the database connection info from ReportClientDocument's database controller, but found out the following method always return null:
oReportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().getConnectionInfos(null).getConnectionInfo(0).getPassword()
The other mothods:
oReportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().getConnectionInfos(null).getConnectionInfo(0).getUserName()
do return the correct custom values (database server name, and username).
After series of testing, we suspect that the custom database password retrieved by SDK does not get updated, hence dblogin error occurs when RAS SDK tries to make connection.
We are aware that we can set db login information by using databasecontroller methods (login, replaceconnection..etc), but we really don't like the idea of hard coding the database username and password in our code. If CMC allows us to set custom database info, we shouldn't need to set them again in the code we suppose.
Any suggestion, hint is very much appreciated. we notice that this issue has been raised several times in this forum, with no real solution provided. Hopefully it can get solved this time.
Regards,
mlie

Can you try changing the order of these two lines of code:
printOutputController.modifyUserPaperSize(10500,15000);
printOutputController.modifyPrintOptions(newPrintOptions);
You should modify the PrintOptions before changing the paper size as I expect that your report was originally designed to be portrait, and you are setting the paper size to something that would no longer be a valid portrait size. Your modifications to the PrintOptions changes the report to be Landscape, so we would want to make that change first.

RAS SDK Scalability

We are planning to develop a reporting application which will create entire report using RAS SDK and display them in DHTML using Viewer SDK. In our application we donu2019t have any physical RPT file stored on Server because application users will design the report through a java user interface and then run it.I want to know what are pros and cons of this approach.
We have around 2000 reports.

RAS SDK has all the functionality to create a crystal report from scratch and you can also view it so there should be no concern. However RAS is not optimized for report viewing so if you have too many concurrent report jobs on RAS or reports with multiple subreports that could cause a performance bottleneck.

BO RAS SDK create DataFields dynamically

Environment u2013 unix, BO Enterprise server, DB2, RAS SDK
We are trying to create a Crystal report from scratch using RAS SDK. The issue that we are facing is related to data binding i.e. creating connection, table and DB field objects dynamically. The workaround that we have been using is to explicitly fire a query to the table and then extract the DB field information from the resultset. Below is the sample code:
public Fields<IField> createReportDatabaseFields(
                                                ReportClientDocument reportClientDocument,
                                                List<IReportObjectRM> fieldControlList , String query) throws Exception{
                                Fields<IField> fields = null;
                                try {
                                                ResultSet dataSource = ConnectionFactory.readQuery("SELECT * FROM table1");
                                                reportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().addDataSource(dataSource);
                                                fields = reportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables().getTable(0).getDataFields();
                                } catch (Exception e) {
throw e;
                                return fields;
Is there a way to avoid execution of the query.

Hi Adam,
We looked at the samples but they are not of much help. Most of the examples start with an existing .rpt file and try to modify it. In our case we are trying to create the report from scratch which involves setting up the table and fields.
The code in my first post works but with some issues. When we try to see the SQL query of the report in Crystal Designer, it shows incorrect table name. No matter what the name of the table in the select query in our code, the generated rpt always has the table name as 'Reports'.
Please advice.
Regards,
Ajit
