Key instead of Text in Results Object in Crystal Reports For Enterprise

Hi All
I recently developed a report in Crystal Reports for Enterprise and at some point afterwards the text description of the hierarchy used in the report was changed.  The Key remained the same, however this caused the report to crash.  The solution was to click Edit Query Option in the Results Objects and simply come out without changing anything.  This refreshed the results object pane and the report ran as normal.   I work in an environment where the text of hierarchies is liable to change frequently and without notice and it will be unfeasible for me to constantly refresh the results object every time a change to a hierarchy is made.  Therefore is there a way to define in CRE to use the Hierarchy key instead of the text as this is less likely to altered?
Many Thanks in advance
Neil

Excuse me I have my terminologies mixed up, what I mean is the name of the characteristic used in the report.  An example would be a characteristic called with the text of "Material" and a key of "0MATERIAL", if I were to change the text description to "MAT" and the key where to remain the same.  This would cause crystal report to error because it expecting the Characteristic name to be "Material".  Is there a setting or something in CRE to have it default to the key only so if the text of a characteristic or even a key figure for that matter where changed there would be no impact to the Crystal report.
I hope this makes more sense this time round
Thanks
Neil

  • Long Text in Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0

    Hello,
    I am creating a report using SAP Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0 (Version 14.0.2) and the source of data is BEx query via OLAP connection created using IDT. I am using SAP BusinessObjects BI platform 4.0.
    The Characteristic (which is hierarchy) in the Rows section of the BEx Query is set to display long text and as such, it displays long text when the query is executed in the BEx Analyzer. However, when it comes to Crystal Report, the short text is displayed in the report.
    The Characteristic is 'Item' (0CS_ITEM) and upon going to SAP BW > RSA1 > Modeling > InfoObjects > Item (0CS_ITEM) > Right Click > Display > Business Explorer (tab) > Text Type is set to 'Long Text' and BEx description is set to 'Long description' already.
    Can I display long text in the Crystal Report? How?
    Thanks,

    Hi Jothi,
    Short Text and Long Text are associated objects of a Characteristic from a BEx query.
    The 'Short Text' will not turn to 'Long Text' by setting the 'Can Grow' option.
    In Fact, both are completely different objects.

    Venkat,
    Thanks for your response. Please note, however, the transaction RAD1 does not exist. Let me provide more details about the current settings of the InfoObject.
    The Characteristic is 'Item' (0CS_ITEM) and upon going to RSA1 >  Modeling > InfoObjects > Item (0CS_ITEM) > Right Click > Display > Business Explorer (tab) > Text Type is set to 'Long Text' and BEx description is set to 'Long description' already.
    When I run/execute the query with this Item characteristic, the results in BEx Analyzer is showing appropriate long text, however, Crystal Report for Enterprise shows short text only

  • Crystal Report for Enterprise  Bex Text Variables

    Hi
    We are on Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI 4.0, Version 14.02.2.
    We have a text variable for cost center in our column heading that displays "Cost Center XXXX Budget" where XXXX is populated by the text variable.
    When this column element displays in the Crystal report it displays as "Not assigned".
    When I use the exact same query in Webby the cost center displays exactly as expected.
    Has anyone exeprienced a similar problem?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    BEx Text Variables are fully supported by the BI 4.0 client tools, so this 'should' work
    I'd recommend that you contact Support and log an OSS incident.  We recently corrected a few issues with text variables in webi, so -at a guess- a fix needs to be ported to CR4E

  • Key instead of text in the variable sclection screen

    Hello Experts,
    please clarify my doubt.
    My user wants to see the key instead of text in variable selection screen (in portal) for material.
    Is it possible to do this?
    Regards

    Hello!
    I think in the menu there is a point like infoprovider specific properties (or similar) in rsa1. Here you can decide what value is shown. Try this, but I'm not sure that this also work in portal.

    Hi Ola,
    Regarding your case ..
    Could you try to go to your query using ur query designer, then go to 0FUNDS_CTR property.
    Set the attribute display as to be KEY.
    And run again your MDX.
    See the result, whether it change into your expectation / not ??
    Hopefully it can help you a lot.

  • Localization of text objects in Crystal Report RPT file

    Dear all,
    Does anyone know how support multiple locale text (English and French) in one single Crystal Report RPT file.  Is there a way to parameterize  text objects (including tiles, axis,  of chart) in the Crystal Report RPT files to use some sort of locale resource file containing text string for different languages based on the users of RPT at runtime? The idea is to use one single RPT file to generate report for different locale text instead of creating RPT file per locale. For example, inserting a text object  in RPT file and it has text "Welcome" in English and use the same RPT file and parameterize that text object's text with a resource file and the text of that object will retrieve the proper localized text from that resource file at runtime based on the user's locale setting.

    Easiest way is to place duplicate copies of charts in split sections.
    If you have a chart in a group footer, split into two sections place English chart in one and french in the other.
    In section expert suppress section based on language field in database. You can do same with Text box or you can over lay two text boxes one in english one in French and then format text box to suppress depending on language. Looks really messy in designer but will be fine in Preview.

  • Help required in embedding flash file object into Crystal Report file.

    Hello,
          I use the default version of Crystal Report (i.e.'Crystal Report Basic For Visual Studio 2008 - version 10.5' ) which is the part of 'Visual Studio 2008', to create and display the Report. Further, as a requirement, I have to show 'Event Video' into the Report. But, as this default version of Crystal Report does not support Flash File, I uninstalled it and downloaded and installed the 30 days trial version of the Crystal Report (i.e. Crystal Report 2008 - version 12.0).
          Then, I created a new Crystal Report File using 'Crystal Report 2008 Designer', embedded the video as a Flash File(i.e. SWF file) into it. Now,  when I add this newly created Crystal Report File into my sample application, which is created using VS 2008, it does not shows the embedded video.
          So, can anybody please tell me, how can I embed the Flash File into Crystal Report, so that it will be visible in the sample application?
    I would like to appreciate your help and support.
    Thanks,
    -Yogesh.

    Symptom :

  • How to change the name of a Box Object in Crystal Reports 2008

    I am trying to change the name of a box object in a crystal report - 2008. This report was originally developed by consultants and requires that certain boxes be named according to a specific naming convention. I am making a change to the report and need to add a box with a name that matches the naming convention.  This is so some program functionality will work for the new box.  I can't contact the consultants because they don't work with our company anymore.
    Does anybody have any ideas? I've tried 'Format Box', but it won't let me change the name from there. I also tried it in the Report Explorer but to no avail.
    Thanks,
    Joanne

    Hi Joanne,
    Boxes do not actually have a 'name'. When you add a Box in a report, it will be called 'Box 1' by default. And the only place this name is visible is under the Report Explorer.
    Or do you mean to say 'Text Object'?

  • Copying objects within Crystal Reports Server produces an error

    When trying to copy an object from one folder to another within Crystal Reports Server XI R2, I encounter the following error:
    There was an error while writing data back to the server: Two destination property bags exist. Use the bag that is appropriate for your client's version number: SI_DESTINATION (version XI and earlier) and SI_DESTINATIONS (version XI Release 2 and later).
    I did have a copy of BOE XI installed however, this was removed prior to installing CRS XI R2
    fyi - The 'Move' of objects works fine

    Hi,
    The issue you are facing is because there are still some registry entries left behind by XI. It is always recommended to do a clean install.
    For now, you may > back up the registry > run regedit > search for traces specific to XI > delete the keys.
    hope it helps.
    Cheers,
