Is Business Objects and Crystal Reports are the same?

Hi all,
What is the difference between crystal reports and business objects. And what is the advantage of business objects.
Can anyone let me know the forums for Business objects in SAP. And what is the latest version for business objects.

Hi,
we just made the combined roadmap of SAP and BusinessObjects available.
The most recent version is XI release 3.0 (soon available).

Business Objects 3.1 reports are not working with IE 10.

Hi,
Recently I upgraded my internet explorer to IE10.. Since then business objects 3.1 reports are not opening in IE10.0
Getting error message "webpage can't be found".
I am not sure whether BO 3.1 reports work with IE 10.0 or not.
Please advise
Thanks
Sat

Did you try with other browsers ?
IE 10 (Compatibility View display mode) with Oracle Java 6 / Oracle Java 7 is supported for BOXI3.1 SP6.
Please check the PAM for details of your SP level.

My battery runs low very fast (three hours). I looked in the usage settings and it seems the time for usage and stand-by are the same, allthough i did have my iphone on stand-by!! What can i do?

Community,
I have a problem with my iphone 4. Every few months my battery starts draining within a few hours. I have tried all kinds of battery saving tips, but they don't help. When i go to the settings/general/usage is can see that the time for Usage and Stand-by are the same, so my phone is fully on all the time this explains the draining. But in reallity i turn my phone to stand-by most of the time, i mean the screen is black and all???
The first and second time a had this problem, both a few months a part, i restored my phone and it was solved. This time i restored my phone but this did not help!! And restoring my phone every two months is not my preferd way of solving this problem.
Does anybody have an idea on how to solve this problem? can anybody help me?
best regards,
Merijn

Restoring is the answer. It sounds as if there is a rogue process constantly draining your battery.
The issue you face is that, if you restore your backup thereafter, you risk the problem coming straight back with your files.
Store your files individually and it is time to start fresh.

How to transform a layer object and a path at the same time?

Hi all,
I know I am going to kick myself when you tell me the answer to this!
I would really like to know if there is any way I can manage to to transform both a layer object and a path at the same time....or if there is any workaround to achieve this.
In a nutshell, say for example I spend a VERY long time creating an intricate path around a very detailed object, and then at the very end notice just how crooked and out of perspective it is, and would like to straighten it.
Of course I could transform and correct the object, and then carefully transform the path - but it just won't be exact, and I will have to spend a long time adjusting the path and making SURE it is perfect.
Isn't there any way I could get to transform them together?
Usually of course I do all the correction to straighten and correct perspective beforehand, but in some instances after I am done creating the path I then notice that the image could have used further adjustments.
I appreciate so very much any advice you may have:)
Thank you kindly,
Christine

Okay...I found another way as well... suddenly it all started coming to me in the last few minutes:)
Once the image is on it's own layer, then we can select the path and then make a vector mask by going to "Layer>Vector Mask>Current Path". Once the vector mask is created, simply click on the image icon on it's layer, then transform away to your heart's content, and the path is transformed along with it. Once finished, the path for the vector mask can be saved as usual. (Don't click on the vector mask icon when transforming the image, otherwise only the path will be transformed.)

Business Object and Crystal Version compatibility

Currently using a Business Object 5.1.8 with a third party vendor (McKesson) with one application and Crystal 8.5 also with that vendor with a different application. Are they compatible to write a Crystal report pulling information from both?
If not, what versions would we have to be on?

Hi Linda,
There are 2 items of interest here.
1) The systems you are refering to... if the underlying database systems these systems use are supported, then yes, you can develop BO reports or Crystal Reports on both these systems. This is more a middleware issue and the answer is yes, you can use either tool to pull data from these systems. Yet, they would be accessable from their respective places as currently being used in your environment.
2) This is on the topic of standardization. If you need a BI standard platform where you could use either BO, Crystal Reports or both and you want to users to access either of these types of reports from a single location, then you would need to look in the direction of Business Objects XI (release 2 or the latest release 3). This would also mean that your version of Crystal Reports will need to be upgraded to XI release 2 or CR 2008 for release 3.
Hope this helps

Business Object Explorer + Crystal Report

hi,
i need a way to upload a crystal report in the business object explorer? can anybody solve this problem?
regards,
thomas

You might take a look at the very latest version of the Crystal Reports Viewer. It might have been added to the report designer as well, but I don't have the latest SP/FP of it yet. CR Viewer 2008 can be downloaded from SAP at no cost and can coexist on PC with the CR designer.
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting-dashboarding/reporting/viewer/index.epx
There's a new beta feature -a little button ( magnifying glass and chart, labeled beta) that lets you export the Crystal Report data to a demo of "Explorer in the Cloud". It's pretty cool, but is limited to 3MB of data. You can load your data to the demo Explorer in the Cloud anonymously, in which case the data is seleted when you end your session, or you can setup an acct (no cost) and have the data retained.
Here's a link that will provide a little more background.
https://bi.ondemand.com/explorer?utm_source=CRViewer&utm_medium=in%2Bproduct%20link&utm_campaign=Crviewer-Explorer
So while the functionality is just in beta now, it looks like you'll be able to do what you want in the future. I think it would be extremely useful.

*Fix* Usage and Standby Times are the same - iPhone 4S 7.0.4

I'd like to share my experience here because I actually found the solution on here but I'm actually having trouble finding it again.
I had three problems:
1. My standby and usage times were always reporting the same values, thus draining my battery faster than usual. This is not normal behavior; whenever the screen is off it should report standby times, and after the phone is unlocked it is considered usage. They should never be recording in tangent.
2. Whenever I would try to turn off my phone by holding down the power button, the phone would basically restart itself, showing the Apple logo boot screen and then restarting. The only caveat was that it would turn off if it was plugged in and being charged. But take it off the charger and try to replicate it turning off and it would restart.
3. The sound would sometimes think that it was connected to a Dock, so when I went to the Airplay options, they were listed as Dock Connector, Airport Express and Apple TV. There would be no volume slider in the Control Center, and when pressing the volume buttons, there would be no dots, just the bell with a line through it.
Many people might be having genuine battery issues, where you have an older phone and your battery is just really bad and needs to be replaced. My 4S was still under AppleCare in December 2013 and the battery was pretty bad, so I had it replaced in an Apple Store. So for me, the battery life itself was not the problem.
I tried a lot of things to try and fix the above problem but none of them helped. This includes chatting with Apple support (I was surprised they didn't steer me in an obvious direction, considering the large amount of folks who were having these kinds of problems, but they played dumb), restoring fresh and restoring icloud and itunes backups, all kinds of combinations of settings for Mail, iCloud, etc., but nothing worked. I probably restored my phone at least ten times in my troubleshooting efforts. The isolated test of restoring my phone fresh, setting it up to the start screen, making sure the battery was charged 100% and taking it off the charger waiting about 10 minutes. Then I would check standby and usage times.
I had read about fixes for the phone not being able to turn completely off, and it had something to do with cleaning the charging port. I attempted to clean the port with compressed air and other methods, but it never fixed this problem. Then I read a post on Apple Support about a guy who had the exact same problems as I did, then said he changed out his charging port and this fixed it. Well, it was $40 so I paid someone to do it in 45 minutes.
After I got my phone back the problem didn't appeared to be fixed, but after a restore and even with an icloud backup restored with it, I looked down at my phone and presto chango, the times where separate and working as they should. Last night with wifi off while I was sleeping, the battery only went down 3%. I know this is turning out to be a narrative, but I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what the problem was and it was a frustrating process. I'm happy it's resolved.
Apple Support thought it was a corrupt install package from iTunes, or some kind of software glitch or maybe some part of iCloud constantly trying to call home, but it was a combination of both hardware and software. Because of the bad charging port, for some reason the phone thought it was still being used and thus was still treating standby as usage.
I would encourage those that are having this problem to do a test and see if your phone will turn off when you want it to. If it resets automatically and if your standby usage times are the same, replacing the charging port might fix it.

Ever since iOS7.0.6. and still on iOS7.1 both me and my wife had huge battery drain on our iPhone 4S and stand-by was equal to usage time. We finally found the solution to a post of another user on the Dutch Tweakers forum. There seem to be a bug within a certain Dutch coupon app called 'Scoupy' which drained the battery completely although GPS setting was turned of and also 'refresh on background' was off.
Scoupy said that a fix for their app is send for approval to the App Store. We removed the app and our usage/stand-by time is again as normal (higher stand-by time then usage time) and best of all a 'normal' battery use as it was the case on iOS7.0.4. I hope this could help someone. I'm wondering if the iBeacon changes in iOS7.0.6/7.1 together with a bug in the Scoupy app could be the cause? Maybe this is also with our similar apps you have on your phone.

Unrendered Audio - sequence and clip settings are the same

When I drag a clip to the timeline a redline appears on the top of the timeline. I know this means that there is a setting issue between the sequence and the clips. All the settings are the same with the exception of the:
audio format - Clip: 8 bit integer
Seq: 32 Bit Floating
Audio Rate - Clip: 48000 5kh
Seq: 48.0 KH
The clips which is 1 1/2 HR takes 6 minutes to render.
Does anyone know why I need to render this clip?
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Here: a foolproof way to ensure clip-sequence settings match up:

Could nt complete your request because source and destination files are the same

Hi, thank you for reading.
I'm having this problem and it's driving me nuts.
I'm actually following a tutorial that you can check out here: http://nightshifted.tumblr.com/post/2559360661/tutorial-paused-animations
basically I'm trying to do a animated gif with canvas (I'm sorry if my english is not so great). when I try to drag the layers into the canvas (step 2 of the tutorial), I get the error: "could not complete your request because source and destination are the same".
can anybody help me? I have both CS3 and CS5 and they the error appears in both.
thank you in advanced

I think they mean select the layers and frames and using the move tool, drag
inside the document (click inside the document window and drag) to move the
selected layers to the top half (transparent area), not to drag the layers from
the layers palette into the document, which would give that error.

Error Connecting SAP Business One and Crystal Report

Hi All,
I installed Crystal Report 2008 on my system for creating a report in Crystals.
I clicked on "New Report" and it opened a window called "Database Exert." However, when I look in the Database Expert, I cannot see "SAP Business One" in it. How can I connect SAP Business One 8.8 with Crystal Report?
Regards,
Bharath S

Hi
On your computer, locate the Crystal folder according to the following directory path: C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\Crystal. Then double-click the file: SAP Business One Crystal Report Integration Package.exe. and follow the step of the setup status screen.

Error during import of business object BOREPMA (crystal reports)

Dear Colleagues,
we have a problem with importing of crystal reports into productive system,
export works fine - I get .car files, but import finished with error : "Error occurred in data conversion".
We could not find any reason for this error..... may be someone had same issue in the past?
How can I check what happens in background during import?
Thank you very much for response

Hi Nick,
our problem is following: we changed *existing crystal report* on development workstation, and trying to import to q-workstation, as it was not possible, we made changes on q-workstation and trying to import to productive-workstation. We don't have crystal report designer on productive workstation and it is a reason why we can not create new report with same name as you suggested (on productive workstation).
In general, how should crystal reports be transferred between different systems (development, test,, productive) if you have crystal report designer only on development system? We think the export-import function can do this, but there is a data conversion error.... OSS message is created since 9 month, we don't get really solution from SAP...
Did you had the same problem or you have crystal report designer on productive workstation and can change coding there?
Thank you very much
Best rehgards

VBA Merge PDFs - Error when first and second PDF are the same

Using http://khkonsulting.com/2009/03/adobe-acrobat-and-vba-an-introduction/ as a guide, I am able to successfully merge multiple pdf's together into one document using VBA (Access mdb), except when the PDF being merged to has the same name as the next PDF.
Here's my scenario. An Access table is updated with a list of reports that need to be printed. All of these reports are PDF's. I loop thru this table and merge the PDF's according to an identifier, then print the group. There are times
when there are multiple copies of the same report for an identifier. If the PDF being merged to has the same name of the PDF being merged, an error occurs. How can I handle this situation?
Sample data: This identifier (ESO and Pulling) needs to merge these PDF's (Aaa.PDF) together which happen to have the same name. Aaa.PDF is trying to merge Aaa.PDF and this throws an error.
Aaa.PDF ESO Pulling
Aaa.PDF ESO Pulling
This identifier merges fine despite having the same PDF twice. But the first PDF is not named the same. Xxx.PDF is the first PDF and merges the next two into it. The last two
are named the same.
Xxx.PDF 916 Pulling
Bbb.PDF 916 Pulling
Bbb.PDF 916 Pulling
Code:
pdfDoc1.Open (filesToMerge(1))
numPages = pdfDoc1.GetNumPages()
Set pdfDoc2 = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
Dim i As Integer
For i = 2 To intNbr - 1
pdfDoc2.Open (filesToMerge(i))
If pdfDoc1.InsertPages(numPages - 1, pdfDoc2, 0, pdfDoc2.GetNumPages(), True) = False Then
MsgBox "Cannot insert pages"
End If
pdfDoc2.Close
Next i
If pdfDoc1.Save(PDSaveFull, "C:\....\ReportPacket__" & Trim(CStr(intReportCount)) & "__" & ... & ".pdf") = False Then
MsgBox "Cannot save the modified document"
End If
pdfDoc1.Close
The pdfDoc1.InsertPages command fails, displays "Cannot insert pages", then displays "Method 'Close' of object 'CAccroPDDoc' failed.
Thanks for any help or advice.

Hi
As far as I know, Access didn't provide such method. But I think you are able to achieve this goal through some 3rd party PDF component
Hope this will help you.

Detailed and Summary reports in the same rdf

Hi,
I am using reports 9i
The problem
I wish to create three reports (one in each section) from the same sql statement
1) A detailed report
2) A summary by Country.
3) A summary by Currency
The SQL pulls in the data at the detailed level , report (1), no problems here
The SQL return two attributes Country and Currency which I want to group the totals to make reports (2) and (3). I use repeating frames to handle the different Countries and Currencies.
Question
How should I structure the Data Model to easily build the reports above. I have successfully created the Country summary, report (2) by creating a Group which includes summary columns breaking on the Country attribute. All going well so far.
I attempted to create an additional group with summary columns breaking on currency however, when I ran my report this report was breaking on Country and Currency.
The data model currently looks like
Query ---> G_CURRENCY --> G_COUNTRY --> G_DETAIL
Perhaps the issue is not with the data model, but something I am doing in the in the Paper Layout?
Any help gratefully appreciated.

I don't think you can do that with only one SQL in the data model though.
If I were to do that report, I will have to options .
OPTION 1
1.) Create 2 SQL in the data model. One SQL will be for the Detail report and either one of the summary (e.g. Currency and Detail ). The other SQL will be for the remaining summary report ( e.g. Country) .
Then in your paper layout, you just add 3 different groups/repeating frame - one for each group in the data model. Each frame is independent of each other
2.) The other option is to use aggregates in your SQL. You may use CUBE which is an extension of the GROUP BY clause. Your SQL would look something like
SELECT COUNTRY, CURRENCY, SUM (col1), COUNT(col2)
FROM table1, table2
WHERE <conditions>
GROUP BY CUBE (COUNTRY, CURRENCY).
The records returned by this SQL will include the total for the country and currency, as well as the grand total for all the records. You should try this to see what records it will return or look into the Oracle 9i DataWarehousing guide document for more details.
In your paper layout, you will again have three groups/repeating frame independent of each other. But you have to control which records are to be printed by checking the values of the group columns.
I hope this helps.
