Hi all,
We are going to use Crystal Report for VS 2005 to create reports, and is it possible to deposit the reports on Crystal Report Server?
Thank you
Clara

I do not know if there is an option to save to Enterprise/CR Server in the bundled version.
You should be able to add report objects from within CR Server itself.

Programmatically create objects and formulas in Crystal Reports XI Developer edition?

<p>Is it possible to programatically/dynamically create a text, line, formula field object, etc. in Crystal XI Developer edition? I have been programming with the Crystal .Net reports component that came with VS 2005 for the past 6 months and know for a fact you can't programmatically create those objects although you can programmatically control their properties. My intention is to create a dynamic report that can be reused extensively. My current work-around for this was to create a generic report with about 40 formula field objects which draws data from 40 corresponding formula fields that I can programmatically set it's formula thus imitating a report field. I want to update to the developer edition because I heard with this edition we can programmatically create and manipulate these objects but I found no reference or examples anywhere that proves we can do this? Does anyone know for a fact or point me to the right place to look for documentation? TIA</p>

Hi,
How can I programmatically refresh list of values status on CR server XI R2?
Currently, after I modified the data source in the data connection, some of the LOVs in the report prompt window became empty when I tried to generate the report. I have to use Business View Manager to log onto the Crystal reports server XI R2, find and double click the list of values object to bring up the Edit LOV window, and then click on "Refresh Status" button to make the LOV available in the report prompt window.
What SDK should I use to create a simple application (preferable a desktop application) to find all LOV objects on CR server XI R2 and to refresh their status? That is an application similar to the "Refresh Status" function in Business View Manager.
I found Report Engine SDK has the Lov.Refresh function to refresh LOV. On the other hand, Report Engine SDK seems to be for BusinessObjects Enterprise, not for Crystal Reports Server. Can this or other function achieve what I want, i.e. to refresh list of values status on CR server XI R2? If yes, can I use it to develop a self-contained desktop application instead of a web application? I only need to run this application after I modify the data source in the data connection, so I prefer not need to deploy it as a web service.
Thanks for your help.

Creating Crystal Reports with Crystal Report Server XI

Hello,
I am new to Crystal Reports, i installed Crystal Reports Server XI R2 on Windows 2003 server with SP2 and was able to launch Inforview application and also Central Management Console Log On.
I can also see some sample reports which are installed during installation.
Now my next task is to create Crystal Reports using Crystal Report Server XI R2. How can we create a crystal report now by only using Crystal Report Server XI R2?
Do we have to install some other application to create Crystal Reports? I donot see any link on my server which i can use to create crystal reports. The only links which i can see are :
Business Objects-->

Two ways to create reports:
1) You install the Crystal reports Designer (CRW32.exe).
With your Crystal Report Server, you should also have received a second CD that would have the CR designer.
2) You use the RAS SDK and create reports on the fly using the RAS report creation APIs - .NET or Java. Since you are in the .NET developer forum, I assume you might be interested in the .NET RAS SDK. Here is a list of resources i would recommend:

How do we create a jndi connection in crystal reports XI

how do we create a jndi connection in crystal reports XI when the data soiurce is configured on websphere 6.1

You need to use WLST online. I am not sure what your exact requirements are but one good way of working this is to have a WLST script that deletes all your WL customisations, like connection pools, JMS Servers etc and then creates it. That way you can run the same script repeatedly and it will get everything up to date for you. However you have to remember that everytime you add something new you need to update your delete section. Also your deleting should not fail if the item does not exist. I hope that makes sense!
As to the specifics of WLST examples to do this then check out the WLST examples in CodeShare.
If you are still having issues then post another message.

As this question is out of the T-SQL queue, thus I would suggest you consult Crystal Report questions to the correct forums.

How to Create a Linked Subreport in Crystal Report for Enterprise

Hi All
I am developing a monthly report grouped by cost centre, I want to create a second table for each cost centre showing year to date, underneath the monthly data for that cost centre. My thoughts on how to achieve this is to create a linked subreport in the group footer of the cost centre grouping. However every time I try to set this up the report crashes. Am I doing something wrong, can this be done in crystal reports for enterprise? Can anyone give me a pointer on how to set up a linked subreport so that it passes the particular cost centre the report is grouped upon into the subreport so it only shows data relevant to that cost centre?
Any help will be appreciated as I am going in circles at the moment.
Thanks
Neil

Hi Neil,
You are doing right. You can create linked subreport in crystal report for enterprise. Please refer below link to see the elearning tutorial in which a simiar scenario is explained step by step. Here its an unlinked subreport. Enable subreport filter to make it linked and try. It should work.

What is the best way to create a SSRS 2005 Line Chart Report for a 12 month period?

I'm looking for advice on how to create a SQL Server 2005 query and line chart report for SSRS 2005.
I need to display the peak number of patients assigned to a medical practice each month for a 12 month period based on the end-user selecting a
single month and year.
I've previously created a report that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month but I’m looking for advice on how to
how to produce a resultset that shows the peak number of patients each month for a 12 month period. I thought about creating a query that returns the peak count for each month (based on my previously created report which displays all patients assigned to the
practice for any single month) and then use a UNION statement to join all 12 months but I'm sure that isn't the most efficient way to do this. The other challenge with this approach (twelve resultsets combined via a UNION) is that the end-user needs to be
able to select any month and year for the parameter and the report needs to display the 12 month period based on the month selected (the month selected would be the last month of the 12 month period).
For the report I’ve previously created that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month, the WHERE statement filters the
resultset on two fields:
Start Date - The date the patient was assigned to the practice. This field is never null or blank.
End Date - The date the patient left the practice. This field can be null or blank as active patients assigned to the practice do not have an End Date. When the patient
leaves the practice, the date the patient left is populated in this field.
Using these two fields I can return all patients assigned to the practice during Nov 2012 by looking for patients that meet the following criteria:
start date prior to 11/30/2012 (using the last day of the month selected ensures patients added mid-month would be included)
AND
end date is null or blank (indicates the patient is active) OR the end date is between 11/1/2012 -11/30/2012 (returns patients that leave during the month
selected)
Regarding the query I need to create for the report that displays the peak count each month for 12 months, I'm looking for advice on
how to count patients for each month the patient is assigned to the practice if the patient has been assigned for several months (which applies to most patients). Examples are:
John Doe has a start date of 6/01/2012 and an End Date of 10/07/2012
Sally Doe has a start date of 8/4/2012 and no End Date (the patient is still active)
Jimmy Doe has a  start of 7/3/2012 and an End Date of 9/2/2012
Given these examples how would I include John Doe in the peak monthly count each month for May - October, Sally Doe in the peak monthly count for
August - December and Jimmy Doe in the peak monthly count for July – Sept if the end-user running the report selected December 2012 as the parameter?
Given the example above and the fact I'm creating a line chart I think the best way to create this report would be a resultset that looks like
this:
Patient Name
Months Assigned
John Doe
June 2012
John Doe
July012
John Doe
Aug 2012
John Doe
Sept 2012
John Doe
Oct 2012
Sally Doe
Aug 2012
Sally Doe
Sept 2012
Sally Doe
Oct 2012
Sally Doe
Nov 2012
Sally Doe
Dec 2012
Jimmy Doe
July 2012
Jimmy Doe
Aug 2012
Jimmy Doe
Sept 2012
From the resultset above I could create another resultset that would count\group on month and year to return the peak count for each month:
June 2012 - 1
July 2012 – 2
Aug 2012 - 3
Sept 2012 - 3
Oct 2012 - 2
Nov 2012 - 1
Dec 2012 - 1
The resultset that displays the peak count for each month would be used to create the line chart (month would be the X axis and the count would
be the y axis).
Does this sound like the best approach?
If so, any advice on how to create the resultset that lists each patient and each month they were assigned to the practice would be greatly appreciated.
I do not have permissions to create SPs or Functions within the database but I can create temp tables.
I know how to create the peak monthly count query (derived from the query that lists each patient and month assigned) as well as the line chart.
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. I reviewed them shortly after they were submitted but I'm also working on other projects at the same time (hence the delayed reply).
Building a time table and doing a cross join to my original resultset gave me the desired resultset of the months assigned between dates. What I can't figure out now is how to filter months I don't want.
Doing a cross join between my original resultset that had two dates:
08/27/2010
10/24/2011
and a calendar table that has 24 rows (each month for a two year period)
my new resultset looks like this:
I need to filter the rows in yellow as the months assigned for stage 3 that started on 8/27/2010 should stop when the patient was assigned to stage 4 on 10/24/2011.
You'll notice that Jan - Sept 2011 isn't listed for Stage 4 assigned on 10/24/2011 as I included a filter in the WHERE clause that states
the Months Assigned value must be greater than or equal to the date assigned value.
Any advice would be appreciated.

How to create a virtual directory for the Report Server

Hi, I am new to server admin and need help with configuration.
I would like to map a physical directory on the server so that users can use a virtual path to save report outputs in that location. For example the form will call the report with desname = 'd:\xyz\abc.pdf' and the output file will be saved in a predefined directory on the server. I know how to do it on the forms server using the orion_web.xml but not sure about the report server configuration.
We are using rwservlet to run reports on 10G release2/Windows 2000.
Thanks in advance,

Virtual directories are mapped in the httpd.conf file in the Apache directory as aliases:
Alias /xyz/ "d:\xyz\"
You can now call the report output with
http://server/xyz/abc.pdf

Possible Crystal Reports Underline Issue?

This problem has been bugging me for ages and I just can't figure out why it is happening. I have created a Crystal report in Visual Studio 2005 using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005. I have underlined the Group Header Name and set it to "Can Grow = true" but spaces appear beteween the words:
e.g. Part 1 - Work undertakend from 5 November 2003 up to 31 December 2003
If i change Can Grow = false then the spaces disappear but obviously the text is cut off:
e.g. Part 1 - Work undertakend from 5 November 2003 up to 31 Dece
Just to confuse things even more, If you export the report to PDF or Word with Can Grow = true then the spaces disappear?? This seems to only be an issue when previewing the report with Cystal Report Viewer on a form. This means that the end user cannot directly print from the preview and they have to export it to file and then print the report.

Hi Neon,
After getting Ludek's suggestion I tried a report created with SQL2000's Pubs database and increased the Author's filed to 35 characters.
In the designer I right-clicked on the field in details section -> Format object and checked the can grow option.
I can see the report with extended (35 characters) in aspx window.
No sp applied in this environment!
So, can you please try the above steps and let us know if it helps!

Creating Employee Badges using Crystal Report.

Hi,
I have a requirement where i have to create Badges for Employees using Crystal Reports. The report is created but the issue here is when i generate the PDF output, apart from the portion of the rectangular Badge, there is lot of white spaces on the report and when i give it for printing, the entire PDF with white space is also coming up. I tried with resizing the crystal report but it did not worked. I want only the rectangular portion of the badge to come on the PrintPreview which can then be given for Print. Is it something to do with the print setting? I am using a special kind of printer(Evolis-Pebble) which is used to print badge cards.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ashish.

Thanks Jayaprakash, we have asked for the installation of printer driver on the server machine where we design the report. Hopefully, we should get options to customize the report template to correct size as of the Badge size. Currently only default options are coming which doesnot allow us to use custom option to have the report to exact size of the Badge in the page setup.
Thanks,
Ashish.

"Crystal Report Viewer is unable to create its resource objects"

I'm using Crystal Reports Server XI and getting the error/pop up box: "Crystal Report Viewer is unable to create its resource objects" when trying to view a report through the website.
Any suggestions would be appreiciated. I'm very unfamiliar with Crystal Reports but it's fallen into my lap to install and suppor this application.
I have tried changing some browser settings to allow ActiveX content and such but that hasn't seemed to help. I also tried downloading a particular 3 .dll's files to my desktop and registering them, as well as re-registering them on the server. They were CRVIEWER.dll, swebrs.dll, sviewhlp.dll.
I'm using IE 7.0 and CR Server XI is installed in a Windows 2003 R2 SE server. IIS seems to be setup OK. I haven't changed any of the default installation settings that were configured during the installation on the virtual directory that was created. I received no errors during the installation. I'm also not seeing anything obvious pop up in the event logs. I still have yet to do a log parser query looking for anything that says crystal reports.
Thanks!

Hi Wendy,
This issue might be better addressed by our .NET development forum, however, some of the things that come to mind are:
1. As a test are you able download the Active X Viewer from the client machine by accessing it via a URL:
http:// <yourserver>/crystalreportviewers/ActiveXControls/ActiveXViewer.cab
Does it prompt you do download the .CAB file?
2. If you have more than one version of the Active X Viewer installed on the client machine, go through this SAP Note (1215398) from the Service Market Place to remove it.
3. Check your browser settings (Tools|Security|Custom Level) to make sure Active Controls are set to at least prompt.
4. Confirm with your network administrator if there are group policies that restrict the installation of Active X Controls or if users do not have the rights to install.

Crystal Reports XI R2 - Cannot Create Datasource to SalesForce - Logon Fail

I am the salesforce.com administrator for our company and wanted to utilize Crystal Reports. However, whenever I try to create a data source connection to Salesforce.com within Crystal Reports XI R2 (with the latest Crystal Reports Report Pack for SalesForce.com installed), I receive the following error:
Logon failed.
Details: Please check your username and password.
I'm using the following credentials: Server = www.salesforce.com, Salesforce UserID = my full salesforce userID, Salesforce password = my salesforce password. Whenever I use the very same credentials to log directly into salesforce, I'm granted access.
I've granted access to all Crystal Reports server IP address ranges as noted in another, but still have had no success. Could this be a firewall related issue. If so, does anyone know what ports and protocols need to be opened (we have a hardware firewall solution in place)?
Edited by: Chris Zumwalt on Nov 12, 2008 11:40 PM

Hi Chris,
You will be able to get more details of the logon error by logging onto salesforce.com and navigating to your user's properties page (Setup > My Personal Infomation > Personal Information). At the bottom of this page, there's a history of your logon attempts. It'll probably look like this:
Login Time     Source IP     Login Type     Status
12/11/2008 4:17:04 EST PM     127.0.0.1     Application     Success
12/11/2008 4:16:49 EST PM     127.0.0.1     Partner Product     Failed: API security token required
Crystal Reports is a Partner Product, and the status column will tell you the actual reason the logon failed. Most likely it's the same reason as above: "API security token required". Partner applications require that you login using the security token, or alternatively they are running on a machine with an IP that is in your Network Access whitelist. Just because you can login to salesforce.com through the browser doesn't necessarily mean that it will work in Crystal Reports designer.
Instructions on using the security token are [here|https://trust.salesforce.com/trust/security/identity_feature.html].
To access Salesforce via a desktop application or other API-based application, you must replace your current password with a combination of your password and a security token:
1 Log in to Salesforce via the browser to request your security token.
2 Go to Setup -> My Personal Information -> Reset Security Token.
3 Click the Reset Security Token button to trigger an email which will contain your security token.
4 Select and copy the token from the email.
5 In the application, replace your password with combination of the password and the security token. For example, if your password is "MyPassword" and your security token is "XXXXXX", you would enter "MyPasswordXXXXXX" into the password field.
Hope this helps.

List all Published Crystal Reports and the BW Query they are created upon

Hello All
I am wanting to create a list of all Crystal Reports files that have been published to BW and report the the Crystal Reports Name and the BW Query (datasource) name.
At the moment I am opening up each report in crystal and via database expert determining which BW query is used. I have about 120 reports I need to do this for and I would really appreciate if there is an easy way to extract this data.
Even if I am just provided with table names where this linkage is stored would be great as I can then create the report myself.
The Format of the report is really simple
Crystal Report (Doc. Name)................Crystal Report Data Source Name (BW query)
I hope someone can help.
Thanks
Phillip

hi,
the information is available in transaction /crystal/rptadmin.
another option is to use the query tool to ask the system database.

Create a Crystal Report using Java

Hi
Im Using Java 6 to connect to a Crystal Reports server. Im trying to create a common API that we can use throughout our office for integration with Crystal Reports.
But Im having troubles with my method to upload/create a report. If I create a new Report Object via the Business Objects Central Management Console then everything is fine, but I get some funnies when I do it via Java.
My upload code is like this :
IInfoObjects newObjs = infoStore.newInfoObjectCollection();
IPluginInfo pluginInfo = infoStore.getPluginMgr().getPluginInfo(CeProgID.REPORT);
IInfoObject newObj = newObjs.add(pluginInfo);
IReport myReport = (IReport)newObj;
myReport.setTitle("title");
myReport.setParentID(parentId);
IFiles files = myReport.getFiles();
files.addFile(file);
infoStore.commit(newObjs);
Now that all works fine and I get no errors. When I look at the Central Management Console I can see the newly created Report, but when I click on it I dont get any of the standard tabs. i.e. 'Properties', 'History' etc, but I do get an error message on the screen that simply says "An internal error has occurred"
I cant find anything in the logs to tell me what this error is, and my steps to create/upload the report seem to match every example I have found.
Can anyone help with this problem?
Thanks for your time
