Java UFLs in Crystal Reports

I've installed BO XI Enterprise on a Linux server.
Wrote a Java UFL and designed a report to use the Java UFL.
I deployed my rpt file & the ufl's jar on the linux server.
Re-started tomcat.
I can see my report file using "infoview", but when I run my report (by clicking the link to my report), I get following error:
"Error Formulas: @TestUFL - UFL 'myUFLs.MyTestLibrary' that implements this function is missing."
I'm not sure where to deploy my UFL's jar file so I copied it under tomcat/bin, but it seems the application is not picking it up.
Can anyone please help where am I going wrong?
Thanks.

Hi Chris
In a similar issue where a .Net application was used,the problem was solved by registering the dll at C:\Windows\system 32.
So, can your try that.
Thanks

How do I install UFL for Crystal Report XI for use on BOE InfoView XI 3.1?

I have a Crystal XI Report that uses a UFL that was created by someone else. The library works just fine on my machine but I need to put this report out in BOE InfoView XI 3.1 for users. The library is Java Class.
I have tried to put the library onto the BOE server but the folder structure, etc. is different on the BOE server.
Could use some help on this.
Thanks in advance.

I have a license for Crystal XI on my desktop and that is all.
We have licensing for BOE Repository to store and execute Crystal Reports. When I run a published Crystal Report the view panel in InfoView displays Crystal Report 2008 logo.
Crystal Reports with UFL work on my machine because I can follow the documentation for Crystal Java UFL's (which is the same as the note you referenced), but that documentation is useless for BOE InfoView because Crystal Reports on the BOE InfoView server is entirely different.

Error while running Java application using Crystal Reports 2011

Hello,
I would like to ask for your help.
Environment details:
Java based standalone application in Development environment.
Crystal Reports 2011 (no SP applied)
Oracle 11g ( 32 bit client installed)
Win7 64 bit OS.
Workflow:
While running the java application, which will display the reports I am getting the below mentioned error. I guess that is because I am missing the Crystal runtimes (Correct me if I am wrong).
I know that CR2011 do not have any sdks/ jar available for deployment. In this case, which runtimes should I be using? Does installing CR2011 be enough in the development box?
Please provide me the link from which I can download the same.
Let me know if I need to provide more details on this. Any suggestions are most welcome.
Thank You.

The latest version of the Java Report Component (JRC) is available from the Diamond website. This download is actually a plugin for Eclipse but you can still use the JRC runtime jars to use the SDK APIs in your JSP page. You will also find lots of resources such as samples, videos, and forums to help you get started. You can also refer to the DevLibrary for more information.

Create JAVA link in Crystal Report Viewer?

We are looking at using Crystal for Reporting and are trying to determine if within a Crystal Report we can place data that is created as a Java link. Lets say a dollar amount in the report...can it be created with a Java link attached that will call off and run another quick report/drilldown to return more detail information?

Hello Tim,
Yes,that is certainly possible.You can create a link which will be treated as object n report and then you need to create hyperlink for that specifying detail location of another object.
Thanks,
Chinmay

Re: jpg files, Java, Oracle and Crystal Reports

I developed an application that used about a half million TIFF's, they could have just as easily been JPG's, but TIFF's are lossless and JPG's are not.
Basically we created a naming convention for the files that uniquely identified each and then segregated them into folders according to year and vendor.
I stored the names in a SQL Table appropriately indexed and then we used the TIFF's in the application for printing and client display.
It worked out very good, the SQL lookup was very fast, and leaving the files in the physical JPG format allowed us to cache them locally and have very litte code change for cache or server access. The application was all done in pure Java using JAI for TIFF access and the client was delighted with the speeds we achieved for document access, including scaling and printing.

If you look at the statement of direction for BI tools from Oracle, you will notice that Oracle has made BI Publisher as their core "reporting" tool for pixel-perfect reporting. All thousands of Oracle Reports which are part of Oracle E-Business Suite have been or are being converted to BI Publisher. I personally don't have much exposure to BIP but I would recommend checking in the BIP forums which are very active. The report development paradigm is very different between Reports and BIP so traditional reports developers have a long learning curve with BIP. With the next release of OBIEE 11g coming out in July, there is hope that Oracle will provide a better layout editor for BIP.
I would suggest putting in some time/effort/training into BIP rather than Oracle Reports since reports is essentially on life-support.

How to get an UFL into Crystal Reports 2008

Hello,
I created an UFL in Visual Basic, built .dll, registered it successfuly with RegAsm and added to GAC. Yet I still can't see the functions in Additional Functions.
DLL source code:
<Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(True)>
Public Class Class1
    Public Function UFLTest1() As String
        UFLTest1 = "Hello"
    End Function
    Public Function UFLTest2(ByVal sVal As String) As String
        UFLTest2 = "Hello, " & sVal
    End Function
End Class
In VB project properties, Make assembly COM-visible is checked. .NET framework 3.5 has been used. I copied the .dll to directory c:\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\ and registered by RegAsm from there (and added to GAC).
Any idea what can be wrong ?
Thanks,
Jakub

Ok, solved it.
If anyone fights with writing UFL, check [Microsoft MSDN|http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms227603%28v=VS.90%29.aspx] and follow it step by step (and I mean STEP BY STEP, any single checkbox missed and it's not gonna work).

Will Java UFLs satisfy reports designed with COM UFLs

cr_xi_java_ufl.pdf notes that "When using Crystal Reports" to design reports that contain user-defined function libraries (UFL), you can use only Java UFLs or only COM UFLs, but not both".
Is that purely a statement about configuring the Developer to access the UFLs or does it indicate some sort of distinction between COM and Java UFLs.
In particular can I take a report designed on Microsoft Windows and including a call to a UF that happened to be exposed by a COM UFL and then run it under Crystal Reports Server XI R2 for Linux using JRC and have the function call evaluated by a Java UF of the same signature within a Java UFL?

Business Objects led me wrong. Java UFLs DO satisfy reports designed with COM UFLs.
If I take a report that was designed under Microsoft Windows and I added functions that were there via COM UFLs (certainly I have proved it by typing the UFL name in directly into the formula editor; I presume it will also work if you drag the COM UFL into the formula editor) and I then place that rpt file on my Linux machine and view that report using Crystal Reports Server XI R2 and Tomcat and JRC and I have Java UFLs on that Linux machine that have the same name and arguments as the COM one then the report runs OK and the Java UFLs do their job.
(Now that is great news)

Avoid Printer selection Dialogue box when printing Crystal report in JAVA

Hi i am calling crystal report in my servlet using Report Client Document SDK, now i want to print the report directly to the default printer set without selecting the printer from the select printer dialogue box. In other words want to avoid the select printer dialogue box from appearing . Can any body suggest me how do i do this .
Any suggestions appreciated.

In javascripting the code is
function Print()
if (document.all)
WebBrowser1.ExecWB(6, -1) //use 6, 1 to prompt the print dialog or 6, 6 to omit it;
WebBrowser1.outerHTML = "";
<object ID="WebBrowser1" WIDTH="0" HEIGHT="0"
CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2">
But the above code does not work in windows XP SP2.... and i cannot restrict my clients OS.
where as C#,ASP.NET provides the functionality to print directly to printer as
The ReportDocument class provides PrintToPrinter method that may be used to print a CR direct to the printer. If no printer is selected, the default printer will be used to send the printing pages to.
The PrintToPrinter method takes four parameters.
nCopies : Indicates the number of copies to print.
collated : Indicates whether to collate the pages.
startPageN : Indicates the first page to print.
endPageN : Indicates the last page to print.
The following steps will guide you to achieve the same:
Add crystal report (.cr) file to your ASP.NET application.
Add a report instance on the page level.
Dim report As MyReport = New MyReport
Populate reports data on Page_Init
' Get data in a DataSet or DataTable
        Dim ds As DataSet = GetData()
        ' Fill report with the data
     report.SetDataSource(ds)
Print Report
report.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
If you wish to print certain page range, change last two parameters From to To page number.
If you want to set page margins, you need to create a PageMargin object and set PrintOptions of the ReportDocument.
The following code sets page margins and printer name:
Dim margins As PageMargins = Report.PrintOptions.PageMargins
   margins.bottomMargin = 200
   margins.leftMargin = 200
   margins.rightMargin = 50
   margins.topMargin = 100
   Report.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins(margins)
   ' Select the printer name
   Report.PrintOptions.PrinterName = printerName
Thn Why not a java SDK for Crystal report can provide such a functionality...

Java with crystal reports

Hi All!
Can any body suggest me to integrate crystal reports in jsp pages...
thank u
madhu
mail id: [email protected]

I would also suggest here:
There is now a "pure java" viewer with Crystal Reports 10.
This page has links to documentation explaining it and how it works.
Having just been using it, I am not THAT impressed with it. Was very frustrating to get working.

JAVA UFL java-heap problem

Hi,
Outline
I have developed a User Function Library (UFL) in Java to Internationalize the reports. I have followed the guide provided by BusinessObject: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/20d050fc-6464-2b10-88aa-a31e24c4febf&overridelayout=true
System Specifications:
Windows XP
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz
Memory: 3 GB (RAM)
Crystal Reports: 2008 version 12.1.3.1028
Java: JDK 1.6.0.13
Problem
Run into a Java heap space when the report is refreshing.
Description.
I open the report and click the refresh button. The report starts to quickly fetch data but then starts to slow down, it comes to the point where it stops fetching data. After a few seconds, the Formula Editor pops-up, highlights the Internationalization formula and then another small window titled "Crystal Reports" pops up with the message "Java heap space".
Comments
I know that I am running into a memory problem. I have check my memory in the Wondows Task Manager under the tab Performance and I see that my memory never reaches the maximum amount I have. I have also tried changing the Java versions, have also tried the UFL with Crystal reports XI and also tried with different computers all with which I get the same problem.
Has anyone encountered the same problem, if so, how were you able to fix it?
Thank you very much for your help.
Valentine

Valentine,
How big is the report? I had a similar problem when trying to produce a large report, although it did not have any UFL reference.
I increased the JVM stack size with the "-Xms32m -Xmx256m" flags.
But for the life of me I cannot remember where I set this from running within Eclipse. I will have a look around and see
if I can remember, but in the mean time it might help.

Crystal Report not works in JAR File

I'm using Eclipse All in one, which includes Crystal Reports.. I Connected my Java program with Crystal Reports and its working properly. Now my problem is that the Report is not working in JAR files.. It throws some exception as
"com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: com.businessobjects
com.businessobjects.reports.sdk.JRCCommunicationAdapter---- Error code:-2147215357 Error code name:internal"
Whats the Error.. I don't know. I think that i may missed some CLASSPATH Files. The included CLASSPATH Files are:

and the mysql-connector jar file
Anybody help me please...

Unable to load database connector
'com.crystaldecisions.reports.queryengine..driverImpl.
DriverLoader
now you have any idea.. pleaseIs that a typo where you have two periods below?
queryengine..driverImplOther than that I don't think anybody here can help you with that. If your classpath includes all necessary JAR files and you are able to access all your resources from within your application JAR file, then I imagine there is a problem with the third-party crystal decisions JAR file or how you are attempting to use it.
My advice to you is to try and contact support with the vendor or provider of this API or possibly try posting on a support forum on their website to see if somebody can help you there.

CC&B 2.1 with BO XI 3.1 / Crystal Reports 2008

Hello,
Has anybody successfully used CC&B 2.1 with a more recent version of Business Objects than the officially supported BO XI R2? We are trying to integrate with BO XI 3.1, following the steps in the CC&B 2.1 installation document. When running a report from CC&B we get errors related to the Java deployment of Crystal Reports Viewer on Tomcat.
Thanks in advance for any inputs.

The installed_fixes only reflect the installation of the Application component of fixes. It sounds to me that you should check the following:
1. Check that you have run all the database upgrade scripts. You should have log files for these
2. Check the following table in CC&B to see if the database patches have been applied (CI_UT_INSTL, CI_UT_INSTL_DTL)
3. logon on to the database as the schema owner , usually cisadm to see if you can see the new / amended tables
4. If all steps above pass, logon to the database as the update user, usually cisuser.
If you cannot access the table then you may need to run oragensec to create the synonyms for the user, cisread.
