Moving Report Objects Dynamically?

Hello Everybody,
I've created the Oracle Report in the Oracle Reports Developer 10g by placing some report objects into the "Body" portion of the "Main Section". Some of objects supposed to be displayed only on the First page and some of them on All pages. If I specify in the "Property Inspector" for the object to be displayed only on the First page, it does not show up on sequential pages, but the rest of report objects do not moving up (they remain at the same place). Looks like the first object just became not visible (not suppressed).
The question is how to move the rest objects up to replace a hidden object?
Thanks in advance,
Dmitriy

Crystal Report Viewer Credential Prompt for Report with Dynamic Parameters

The .NET Crystal Report Viewer is prompting for database credentials when launching a report containing dynamic parameters. This only occurs for reports created with SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer. Reports created with Crystal Reports XI designer (where dynamic parameters were first introduced) work correctly.
The credential prompt window contains the following fields:
- Server Name: <server name> (disabled)
- Database Name: <database name> (disabled)
- User Name: <empty> (enabled)
- Password: <empty> (enabled)
- Use Single Signon Key: false (disabled)
The values in the prompt window which are disabled are the database connection values used during the design of the report in the SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer.
Expected Result:
- No prompt for database credentials.
- Values read from the database should be populated in a drop down for the dynamic parameters.
Environment:
- Visual Studio 2010 (C#)
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4
- SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010
- SAP Crystal Reports 2011
The database connection is being set to use a DSN. It must be a DSN as the calling application is only aware of the DSN/Username/Password values. These values are being passed to the Crystal Report Viewer contained in a Windows form.
The database connection for the report is being set as follows:
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection otherwise the connection does not work
    if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
        internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
    // Supposed to set the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
    internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
The SetConnection method's signature is as follows:
   SetConnection(string server, string database, string name, string password)
As you can see from the code snippet above I am setting the DSN name as the server parameter, blank for the database parameter (a database connection using DSN should only require DSN name/Username/Password) and the database username and password respectively.
Is this a SAP bug?
Is this the correct way of setting the database connection to use a DSN?
Is there some other properties that need to be set somewhere else in the report through code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the pointer to the database connection code generator. After taking a look at the output from the tool I was able to finally get the dynamic parameters to load and populate properly without prompting for credentials. I needed to tweak the outputted code a bit to match my requirements of using a DSN only connection.
Instead of updating the database connection properties contained within the Report.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalReports.Engine namespace, I changed it to replace the database connection properties in the Report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel namespace. For one reason or another, using the RAS namespace solved the problem.
Below is the updated code with the change made:
using RAPTable = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table;
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection
    if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
        internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
    // Sets the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
    internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
// The attributes for the QE_LogonProperties which is part of the main property bag
PropertyBag innerPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
innerPropertyBag.Add("DSN", this.DSN);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UserID", this.LoginName);
innerPropertyBag.Add("Password", this.Password);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UseDSNProperties", "true");
// The attributes collection of the tables ConnectionInfo object
PropertyBag mainPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
mainPropertyBag.Add("Database DLL", "crdb_ado.dll");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_DatabaseType", "OLE DB (ADO)");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_LogonProperties", innerPropertyBag);
// Pass the database properties to a connection info object
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
connectionInfo.Attributes = mainPropertyBag;
connectionInfo.Kind = CrConnectionInfoKindEnum.crConnectionInfoKindCRQE;
connectionInfo.UserName = this.LoginName;
connectionInfo.Password = this.Password;
// Replace the database connection properties of each table in the report
foreach (RAPTable oldTable in this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables)
    RAPTable table = new RAPTable();
    table.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
    table.Name = oldTable.Name;
    table.QualifiedName = oldTable.QualifiedName;
    table.Alias = oldTable.Alias;
    this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation(oldTable, table);
this.report.VerifyDatabase();
Thanks again Ludek for the help.

GPM Custom GPO-Settings: An error occurred while generating report: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hello,
As you can tell from the title of this question, I am no expert with GPO's. Before I begin, I spent a few minutes to an hour searching and reading in hopes of finding the solution and avoid putting myself out there as a "GPO Newb". While
I found several posts and answers that were similar and were related, the questions and answers were more advanced and did present the solutions providing the person had initial knowledge already. That is not necessarily my case and I would ask for a
little patience and a bit of 'hand-holding' for what I need.
I run SBS 2011, and in Group Policy Management I have a custom GPO. In this GPO I define all my settings. I understand this may not be the best or most practical method of applying policies, but I am not very strict and have few settings. This
policy existed prior to my joining the company, and was migrated in to this SBS '11 from SBS '03. That may be the issue, but before making any changes I am seeking expert advice.
When I select that GPO, named "Main GPO", and click on the tab at the top "Settings" I see the error: "An error occurred while generating report: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I saw that when I right click the GPO > View > Options and select the tab "Reporting" that it states that for reporting to work the location of the .adm files must be specified. I see that my option for the location is set to "Default"
which by my guessing would be located in the C:\Windows\sysvol directory. Below is what I see there:
C:\Windows\sysvol\domain
C:\Windows\sysvol\staging
C:\Windows\sysvol\staging areas
C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol
I think the problem is that my custom GPO are not inside the default location, which I speculate is: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies (which I do see some objects there).
But instead I also see items in this folder: C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\JOHN.LOCAL\policies (while where I just typed 'JOHN.LOCAL' is my actual local domain).
To further this, when I edit that custom GPO, then at the very top of the tree I right click on it and select Properties, I see a Unique Name listed there as a long string of numbers and letters, similar to a registry entry. I searched my server for
that same Unique Name and found it listed inside the folder: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies
If I am correct with my assumption and basic knowledge, I should move all objects as follows:
-Move FROM: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies
-Move TO: C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\JOHN.LOCAL\policies
My concerns are that I am not correct at all, that I will break something, that there may be an easier fix than moving anything, or that I am overlooking something causing this error altogether.
Thank you for anyone's help and time with assisting me with this request.

> top "Settings" I see the error: "An error occurred while generating

That's due to a security setting (most possibly) your current OS does
not understand. Hard to find out wich exact setting it is... To resolve
this issue, we need the gtpptmpl.inf file residing in the policiy's
sysvol folder. To open this folder, edit the policy, move to computer
settings - policies - windows settings - scripts - startup, press "show
files". Then move two folders upwards and back down to
.\microsoft\windows nt\secedit. There you'll see the gpttmpl.inf - post
its contents and we'll have a look at it.
> location, which I speculate is: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies (which

That's perfectly ok - JOHN.LOCAL in fact is a symlink pointing to "domain".

> -Move FROM: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies
> -Move TO: C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\JOHN.LOCAL\policies

How do I publish the latest instance of a report object ?

I have 2 report objects which are scheduled/refreshed daily around 8:00am ish.
History shows a new report instance is successfully created each day.
I have a recurring daily publication which emails them out to dynamic recipients as PDF attachements at approx 8:15am.
Trouble is the attached reports are always the same ie. the 1st/oldest saved instance.
How do I pick up the latest available instance of a report within the publication ?
Note - I am trying to avoid refreshing the reports at publication time because of locking issues.
I am also trying to avoid maintaining 2 separate publications.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Malcolm.

I'm getting the below issue when I try to deploy a report with Dynamic parameters, when I deploy it with static parameters I'm not getting this issue.

I’m getting the below issue when I try to deploy a crystal report with Dynamic parameters in BI Launch Pad, when I deploy the same report with static parameters I can deploy and run it. I have Restarted the BI server, still the issue exitno use. kindly help me on this issue.
“This error occurred: Adding Crystal Report "CrystalReport1.rpt" failed. The server with kind rptappserver returned an error result. Failed to copy the report file to the report object. Refreshing the report object properties might have failed. Failed to read data from report file CrystalReport1. Reason: Failed to read parameter object”.

BO does not run dynamic params through the report as would happen without BusinessObjects (BO) or Crystal Reports Server (CRS). When you publish a report with dynamic parameters to BO/CRS, the prompt is published to the repository so that it can be accessed through the Business View Manager (which can be installed as part of the client tools). In order for this to work a couple of things need to happen:
1. You need to be sure that you check the "Update Repository" box on the Save As screen the first time you publish the report.
2. Your BO/CRS user needs to have "view" access to the Crystal2013ReportApplicationServer in the Servers section in the CMC - in fact, the Everyone group should be given view access to the server in order for dynamic prompts to work correctly.
3. In the Business View Manager, the Administrator user needs to give your user, or, even better, a Crystal Developers group full control access to the "Dynamic Cascading Prompts" folder.
Best practice for dynamic prompts in a BO/CRS environment is to actually create the prompts in the Business View Manager. This will allow you to create a single data connection that can be reused and also create lists of values such that the same list or prompt can be reused by multiple reports. If you just create the prompts in Crystal, you will end up with multiple data connections to the same database, the prompts will use the whole query for the reports to get the dynamic values instead of just a focused query to the lookup table that contains the values, and there ends up being lots of duplication and chaos.

Instantiate a ABAP Object Dynamically

I would like to get some guidance on Dynamically instantiating objects within ABAP.
I have worked with Java. Within Java I am able to instantiate a Java object through the use Class.forName (see example below):
className = "com.vz.it.cleansheet.eFine.db.query.WBRDMTWKCNDATABEAN";
try {
     singleton = (Object) Class.forName(classname).newInstance();
     } catch (ClassNotFoundException cnf) {
               System.out.println("SingletonRegistry - Couldn't find class "}
Is there a similar procedure in ABAP OO to enable dynamically instantiating a ABAP object?
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Rick

You can instantiate an object dynamically, here is a sample program. Notice that we are creating an object passed on what class is named in the selection screen.
report zrich_0001.
*       CLASS lcl_car DEFINITION
class lcl_car definition.
public section.
    data: car type string.
endclass.
*       CLASS lcl_car IMPLEMENTATION
class lcl_car implementation.
endclass.
*       CLASS lcl_truck DEFINITION
class lcl_truck definition.
public section.
    data: truck type string.
endclass.
*       CLASS lcl_truck IMPLEMENTATION
class lcl_truck implementation.
endclass.
data: r type ref to object.
parameters: p_class(20) type c default 'LCL_TRUCK'.
start-of-selection.
create object r type (p_class).
check sy-subrc = 0.

To get names of reports/objects, Object list from any log files..

Hi All,
I have a query, how does OBIEE allocate names to its objects like reports/dashboards dynamically which we see in Session queries. Is there a way that we could get this information from any system variables or any internal file ? This information is to get and run some automation testing post migration, so that validation and verification effort will come down.
I have one more query, is there way to list of all the objects? Reports/dashboards/tables/variables/MV or any other which are part of our OBIEE reports.
So that If we can get a list and any log which tells these are modified or not..so that post migration validation/verification will be easy.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks!!

Hi user8732477,
From my experience I noticed that OBIEE does not use internal identifiers for reports and dashboards. That is a bit of a pain point because if you had a Navigation Drill setup, and you change the name of the target report, your drill will fail. However, there is a "Smart Rename" in the Catalog Manager tool. That will go through the catalog and fix any reference. But in short, there are no internal identifiers for the reports and dashboards. Just the names themselves and the folder path are the unique identifiers.
Secondly, you can easily run such a report using the Catalog manager tool. Just log into your catalog and go to Tools->Create Report. You have to run one report for Dashboards and any request part of a dashboard and a separate report for any Answer requests that didn't happen to be put into a dashboard. The report creation process is pretty straight forward. It lets you specify what data points you want and it does the rest. It generates a tab delimited file I believe (it could have been comma though, I can't quite remember). Easy to import it into Excel and work with.
Hope this helps and if you found this post useful, please award points!
Best regards,

Aligment of text & report objects on report

hi,
I have report that fits into 4 pages due to large lenth of report. The report object thats on the report are aligned well for first page but as i go to page downwards i.e 2,3,4 the Text and report object that i have inserted get distorted
and are not aligned in same way as on 1st page. Is there a setting for each individual page on the report ? or what setting should i check for the same?
Thanks In advance

There isn't any easy or elegant way in Crystal Reports to generate records dynamically but here are 2 suggestions;
1) Concatenate the fields you want to display with a carraige return separator (Chr(13)) and assign this value to a variable. Use the replicatestring function along with the database field that outputs the number of copies needed.
For instance
stringvar d:= + chr(13) + + chr(13) + + chr(13)
replicatestring(d, {field that outputs number of copies})
Set this formula to can grow and it will repeat the appropriate number of times.
2) Create a command object similar to the following;
select top (10) -999 as linker from orders
This will generate 10 dummy records.
Link this command object to your table with a Not Equal join.
This will cause each record from your table to repeat 10 times.
Set up a counter formula and suppress the details section when the counter is greater than the number of copies needed field

Problems after creating report object

I am using Crystal Reports Server XI R2 SP4. I created a report object from a simple Crystal report successfully. Even the thumbnail showed the report data even though the report does not save data.
However when I view the report object in InfoView or schedule it there is no report data even though Crystal Reports Viewer displays data when run against the same DB with the same parameters.
I get the same results with any report object I create in CMC but I was to able to successfully create and run report objects the first few(5) times after which I have been getting this result.
Is there any kind of report or job limit?
I made max records to retrieve unlimited and bumped # of jobs in every server from 5 to 50 and the age of oldest report to retrieve from cache to 0 mins.
Please help!

I'm not sure this is a JAVA problem, but if you're getting an ACCESS_VIOLATION exception from the JVM a method that provides more detailed information is to check for exceptions after every JAVA function called from the native code with (*jenv)->ExceptionCheck(jenv) and if true get information with (*jenv)->ExceptionDescribe(jenv) Making mistakes in native code constructing JAVA objects has been my most frequent cause of ACCESS_VIOLATION exceptions. I hope this helps.

How to Remove a Report Object from a Category Without Deleting It?

I'm trying to "remove" a report object (in this case a Webi Report) from a Personal Category. However, I've found that when I right-click on the report within the Category and choose "Organize >> Delete", not only does it remove the report from the Category, it also deletes the "source" report from it's original location... not good. (NOTE: If I try this as a user without rights to delete report objects, I don't even get the "Organize >> Delete" option, as would be expected based on the behavior I'm seeing.)
Does anyone know if there is a way to "Remove" report objects from Categories without deleting the report from its original location? The only option I can think of is to simply recreate (copy/paste) the whole category with all of its components (less the undesired report object) and then delete the original Category.
Thank,
Josh

Hi,
This is much easier than it looks like, although it's not intuitive.
For example, when some webi is in a category, categories where the webi is linked are underlined in blue:
If you click in those blue marked categories and click Accept, you're unlinking the webi/report/dashboard from that category:

Bex report to report interface dynamically based on Value in the query

Hi,
Is it possible to change the destination of the report to report interface dynamically based on the data of the bex query?
For example my query has the below data
Plant | KPI | Quantity
P1 | A | 20.00
P2 | B | 25.00
When the user selects KPI A I want to navigate to Query 1, and when KPI B is selected to Query 2. Query 1 and Query 2 have completely different layouts, Instead of create to two destinations is it possible to pick one based on the KPI selected.
Is this possible in Bex report to report interface or any other way.
Please suggest
Thanks in advance.

Creating and Binding View Objects dynamically : Oracle Jdeveloper 11g

Hello,
We are trying to create and bind view objects dynamically to adf data visualization components.
The view object is a result of multiple tables.
We are using Oracle JDeveloper 11g Technical Preview. ( can't upgrade to TP2 or TP3 now).
We have found this : http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2003/07/15/creatingUpdateableMultientityViewObjectDefinitionsDynamically.html on our search for the same.
The sample application however, is in 10g , hence required migration.
Also, it was a standalone application with the TestClient.java having a main() method.
Our requirement is for Web Application; we use Adf+jsf .
Guidance of any sort is very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
-Anil Golla

Hi,
there also exist a forum for JDeveloper 11: JDeveloper and OC4J 11g Technology Preview
What you are trying todo is not trivial because you need to not only dynamically create the VO, you would also dynamically need to create the binding meta data for it (assuming you use ADF). Not sure if the API to modify the binding is public, so posting it on the JDeveloper 11 forum bears a glimpse of hope for an answer
In JDeveloper 10.1.3 you can't do this
