Newbie question on report design for multiple pages - HELP!

I am upgrading an existing accounting program to use Crystal reports. The accounting program generates account statements for our investors. Each account needs to have 1 statement (which typically is only 1 page long).
I have a table that has 1 record per activity per account. Every account has a unique code and the report is set to group records by this code. Therefore, an account can have 1+ records associated with it that need to be displayed in the details section.
To test my report I have 4 records in my table -- 2 records for account code 'ABCD' and 2 records for account code 'WXYZ'. The report correctly groups the records together and summarizes the necessary information, but it DOES NOT create a page break.
I don't understand what else I need to do in the designer to force it to create a new page everytime the account code changes... It's basically a mail-merge type functionality that I am looking for!
Any help is appreciated.
SG

In the gray section to the left of the report design, right-click on the group footer for the Account Code and select 'Section Expert'. Turn on "New Page After". To prevent a blank page at the end of your report, click on the formula button to the right of the check-box and enter "not OnLastRecord".

Is it wise to chage site design from multiple page to single page scrollable design for SEO?

I have a current site with multiple pages created in Muse. From watching some tutorials I am beginning to believe that converting the site to a one page scrollable format would be more applicable for table and mobile applications. My questions are these:
By adding anchor points and links to the stacked pages will this act the same as independent pages for SEO, or will I lose all of the current web traction I have earned and be starting over?
Is it commonly accepted that by converting to a one page format that it will be easier for search crawlers to rank my site?

Hi,
Single page websites can be great for new sites or for some special projects, but I won't recommend them as long-term solutions and, if you already have a multi-page website, I do not recommend switching to a single-page site.
If your single page site has great content and good structure, google might provide same treatment as it does for various sub pages website.
A useful Video by Matt Cutt, head of the webspam team at Google
Search engines will index all the pages of your website, providing multiple opportunities for your site to come up in searches. When your site consists of only one page, a single page is exactly what you’ll have indexed.
That means if you have many services, many products, single page design will really compromise your rank and result in search engine.
Do let me know if you have some more questions.

How do I populate my date fields placed on Master Page for multiple pages?

I have a dynamic form with flowing fields. I inserted date fields using the Master Pages tab within Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2, Windows 7 OS. I have only 1 Master Page. Everything on the form is working properly, except when I have multiple pages, the date fields are blank on all but the first page. One of the date fields has javascript in the exit event to calculate the second date field. I can manually edit the subsequent page(s) date fields, but I don't want the end user to have to do that. I want the date fields on the new pages to equal the date fields on the first pages. Below is my output with notes to provide a visualization of what I'm looking for.
Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help me with this issue!
Caroline

Hey Mandy,
Yes, both date fields are on the Master Page. The first one is set to "User entered - Required" and the second to "Calculated - User Can Override"
And that's right, I used your script to calculate the second date field. The only thing I changed was the field name, and used 6 days instead since I wanted the calendar days to only run a full week, like start on a Monday and end on Sunday.
Thx,

How to paginate the Report output spanning multiple pages

Hello,
We have a Report that has a custom Layout and it shows invoice information.
Our system has to generate an Invoice per day.
This Report is printed fine for single day.
But our users have 2 requests:
1. To print all the invoices for 1 month
2. To save them to file.
At least printing will do for now.
The problem I got is pagination.
When I made Month&Year as parameter and user selects 2001-OCT
to print all invoices in Oct,2001, the Report is unable to print one invoice per page. In between the layout is rolling over to multiple pages.
Is there a way I can control pagination or any settings?
Thank you much.

Report design for hierarchical xml data

I need to create a report that shows hierarchical xml data. I already have an xml saved to a database. How would I go bout creating a design for such a report? Should I be doing groups on every parent with children? Any example?
Thanks

Hi markgoldin,
I tested the issue in my local machine by following steps:
1. Created a table and store the xml into the table with the following query:
CREATE TABLE xmlTbl (id INT, xmlVal xml);
INSERT INTO xmlTbl values(1,
'<Customers>
<Customer ID="11">
<FirstName>Bobby</FirstName>
<LastName>Moore</LastName>
</Customer>
<Customer ID="20">
<FirstName>Crystal</FirstName>
<LastName>Hu</LastName>
</Customer>
</Customers>'
2. Created a stored procedure to retrieve data from the table with the following query:
create procedure xml_report
as
DECLARE @xmlDoc XML;
SELECT @xmlDoc = xmlVal FROM xmlTbl WHERE id=1;
SELECT T.c.value('(@ID)','int') AS ID,
T.c.value('(FirstName[1])','varchar(99)') AS firstName,
T.c.value('(LastName[1])','varchar(99)') AS lastName
FROM @xmlDoc.nodes('/Customers/Customer') T(c)
GO
3. In the Report Data pane, right-click Data Sources and click Add Data Source.
4. For an embedded data source, verify that Embedded connection is selected. From the Type drop-down list, select a data source type; for example, Microsoft SQL Server or OLE DB. Type the connection string directly or click Edit to open the Connection
Properties dialog box and select Server name and database name from the drop down list.
5. For a shared data source, verify that Use shared data source reference is selected, then select a data source from the drop down list.
6. Right-click DataSets and click Add Dataset, type a name for the dataset or accept the default name, In Data source, select the name of an existing shared data source, select StoredProcedure in Query type, then select xml_report from stored procedure
name drop down list.
7. In the Toolbox, click Table, and then click on the design surface.
8. Drag the Date field from the dataset to the cells in the table.
The following screenshot is for your reference:

My report prints on multiple pages

My report which shows change requests by categories I setup and sort on prints across multiple pages. I do not want that. It is starting a new page for every catgegory. Where can I check to see what setting I have made (unknowingly) that tells it to start a new page for each category?
Thx

Assuming that you are grouping on Category, there are two places where it is possible to set this.
1. Right-click in the gray area to the left of the group header and select "Change Group". Go to the Options tab and verify that "New Page After" is not turned on. Close.
2. Right-click in the gray area to the left of the group footer and select "Section Expert". Go to the Paging tab and verify that "New Page After" is not turned on. You might also want to check other sections and verify that there is no paging set up elsewhere.

F110 - Many Check no for multiple pages

Dear Sapients,
I have some issue with Automatic Payment Program using F110. We are using Non-Preprinted stationary with un-numbered checks, but system is assigning check no for each pages, if there are multiple pages for same vendor. Here is scanerio in more details:-
1. Configuartion for F110 is done. Payment Method "C" is our payment method configured. All configuration is done and looks good.
2. We have assigned FORM - /SMB11/CHECK_UNN, which is SAP standard form.
3. We are using RFFOUS_C program for printing, which SAP allowed to use this print program for both pre-printing and non-pre-printed stationary for Check.
4. When we execute program for vendor payment and vendor have say 50-60 invoices, system generate proposal correct, and post the document in payment run, but when we execute print for check printing, we check the spool request, it assign check number on each page. say it have 4 pages.
(a) On page 1, check no would be say 2001 and it will VOID the check
(b) On page 2, check no would be say 2002 and it will VOID the check
(c) On page 3, check no would be say 2003 and it will print the check correctly.
(d) On page 4, check no would be say 2004 and it will VOID the check, This is summary page. ON summary page, it also give the check no details that from 2001 to 2004 check are assigned for this payment and check registered is updated properly.
It should only assign one check no 2001 and shoudl only print the check on last page.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Pawan Sharma

Finally found the issue. In fact, we need to select "Do Not VOID any Check" in variant of program RFFOUS_C.
For More Details, please read help for this check mark. It resovled my problem.
If anyone have same issue, please use same process.
Thanks,
Pawan

What do you think of this Design for Multiple Threads

Hi Java Experts ;
I'm curious to know what you think about this design for a multhreaded app i'm working on.
I have a controller thread that (a.) creates threads and (b.) keeps a reference to threads that it creates (by sticking them in a hashtable along with the generated Id for that thread).
When a created thread completes its job, it decrements the thread counter and removes its reference from the hashtable before it finishes its run method.
Now here's the interesting part in my controller thread i'm creating new threads on the fly with this infinite loop
     public void run(){
          while(true){
               try{
                    Thread.sleep(500);
               }catch(InterruptedException e){
               if(threadCounter<maxThreadCount && moreJobsToDo.size()>0){
                    createDomainThread();
          }//end while
what do you think about this pattern ? My goal is to maintain about 200+ created threads running at all times with this pattern.

jeff kesslerman's book says about threads
"5.2.3 Threads
The impact that threads have on RAM footprint isn't a problem for most programs, but running threads do need space to store their stack state, and the system- specific data structures do consume memory.
Because runtime implementations vary widely in how threads are handled, you might encounter situations where the impact threads have on footprint is significant. For example, some ports of the JRE create a heavyweight OS process for each running thread. In an application that uses many threads, this means that thread costs, rather than class or object costs, can become the dominant factor in the program's memory consumption.
You shouldn't avoid using threads-they're necessary in many cases, and generally don't have a large impact on footprint. However, you should be aware that the impact can be very different across runtimes. This is one of the reasons it's a good idea to measure performance characteristics under your program's different target environments. "
Question #1: how does garbage collection go about clearing the stack state, and the system- specific data structures that consume memory.
Question #2: in my situation, each worker thread's activity is not as brief as a simple server request. Each thread does a lot work and does a lot of network connections. on average I would say 100 http request - each of which can be easily blocked or delayed significantly. Therefore each worker thread may operate for between 2 - 10 minutes.
Do you think thread pooling is useful in this situation ?

Crystal Reports - Aggregation and Sub-report design for reconciliation

Hello,
I apologize for posting the question in this form (I am new to Crystal reports - so am trying to get my hands around the development)
I created two crystal reports
1. Report on top of BW
Fields:
A. Company Code
B. Vendor
C. Local Currency
D. Total Amount
2. Report on top of ECC
Fields:
A. Company Code
B. Vendor
C. Local Currency
D. Total Amount (This is a formula, as I used the total amount and debit/credit indicator to get the negative sign for amount)
Once I have created these two reports,
The first question is,
In the second report for the combination of the three characteristics mentioned above I have multiple rows, how can I aggregate them similar to BW where I have one row for a given combination.
The second question is,
I created a third report and I used the option you mentioned earlier "Insert --> Sub-report". When I used this option I selected the first report on top of BW and inserted it into Data Field and then used the same option to insert the second report on top of ECC and inserted it in Data field below the first report.
Once I had these reports inserted, I created formula fields in the third report for the following fields
1. Company Code
2. Vendor
3. Local Currency
4. Total Amount
From here on, I am not sure how can I link the fields from the above reports to the third report and also how can I do reconciliation between these two reports.
I really appreciate your help in this regards.
Thanks
Dharma.

Hi,
The first question is,
In the second report for the combination of the three characteristics mentioned above I have multiple rows, how can I aggregate them similar to BW where I have one row for a given combination.
>> You could create Groups in Crystal Reports and create totals in the report on top of ERP.
The second question is,
I created a third report and I used the option you mentioned earlier "Insert --> Sub-report". When I used this option I selected the first report on top of BW and inserted it into Data Field and then used the same option to insert the second report on top of ECC and inserted it in Data field below the first report.

2. Vendor
3. Local Currency
4. Total Amount
From here on, I am not sure how can I link the fields from the above reports to the third report and also how can I do reconciliation between these two reports.
>> Whats the source of the third report ? ERP or BW ?
You can use the Subreport Linking feature (right click on the report in the context menu) to setup the linking from the main report to the subreport

Dimensional model design for multiple relations btween a fact and dimension

Hi,
I'm new here, sorry if I ask dummy questions.
I need to develop a dimensional datamodel to create some reports. The initial model has a transaction table. A transaction can be related to one or more customers, because of that the there is a customer_id column, but it can contains more id's, separated by commas. The customer table is standard : id/ name/etc.
I need to create a report (I'm using OBI 10g if this is relevant) to show all the transactions related to a customer (prompt) and the report must contain the some transaction details, the id's of all customers related to that transaction and their names.
For example, if I have a transaction with tranz_name = 'transaction_name' and customer_id = '1,2,3' and I need to select all the transactions related to customer 1, I need to show in the report :
'transaction_name' , '1,2,3' , 'Customer_1, Customer2, Customer_3'.
How can I design the dimensional datamodel to have support for this report? I was thinking to create an additional "cust_id" column in the fact table and for the above transaction to load 3 records in the fact table, by filling the cust_id with only one id (the PK of the fact table will be transaction_id + cust_id). But I have 2 problems :
a) How can I create the "CustomerNames" column in the report?
b) How can I select unique transactions if "all customers" is selected in the prompt?
Thanks in advance for your help

Are you using the OLAP Option in the database to define your report? If so, which version of the database do you have? If not, you may get a better response from an OBI specific forum such as "Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition"

Database Design for Multiple function site

Hi
I am working on one project which involve multiple function
site, such as
Company Product Catelog, Customer Support Forum, Document
Exchange Engine and
etc...
Normally we will combine ALL TABLEs into one DATABASE.
My question are:
1) Is my break them to individual DATABASE, will it perform
better?
Means Product Catelog and Forum will have different
DATABASE, but they
will using the same DOMAIN NAME.
2) I am worried about the break down and corruption of
DATABASE, so I have the
idea to separate them out. Are my idea correct or wrong?
3) I am seeking for better DATABASE DESIGN, because I know
the database will
become huge in future. I request for your idea and opinion.
Thank you very much.

Creating views: not an option I think. It would involve a lot of programming with 'instead of' triggers etc.
Seperate databases: a good way if the locations are completely independant and do not share information. This involves more DBA work.
Separate schema's in one database: this would make public synonyms impossible, and is probably not a good option.
Adding a location id to tables: the best way I think, and flexible. You can easily add another location, and locations can easily share information.

Keeping Tablix report headers for each page

I am not able to get the Report Header columns on each page to do anything. Same with
'Keep Header visible while scrolling'
I have one detail line and no groups. I use local reports and the report viewer control for classic windows forms.
What am I doing wrong?
Certified Geek

HI Arne,
I think your requirement is to repeat Tablix header on each page. If so, here are the steps to configure it.
Select the tablix
In group pane select 'Advanced Mode'.
Under 'Row Groups', Select the 'Static' corresponding to Tablix header.
Select 'True' for 'RepeatOnNewPage' property of the Static.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers
