One parameter for multiple Crystal reports in Publication

Does anyone know if it is possible to enter one identical parameter for multiple Crystal reports in publication when scheduling? BOE 3.1 SP3 Windows, Java.
To elaborate I am creating publication with multiple reports, each report has one parameter and this parameter is identical in every report in publication. So instead of entering this parameter many times I would like to enter once. 
If yes point me in the right direction to get the how to or post the steps.

Daniel,
Thank you so much for your answer. It was very helpful. In the end, it didn't work but it helped me figure out what was happening. I use a different form for the reports and I had it coded in the form which report to use. I created a second form for the second crystal and then I used an if statement to choose the form and it worked like a charm.
Thanks so much again!

  • Use one parameter for multiple markers in PreparedStatement?

    I have a prepared statement with a where clause of the following form:
    where x = ? or y = ?
    where the ? for x and y is the same literal value. Is there a more elegant way to handle this other than what I'm doing now (which I think is pretty clumsy):
    pstmt.setString(1, aValue);
    pstmt.setString(2, aValue);
    Obviously, I'd like to only set the value once, and have it used both places.

    No. If its transactions across multiple databases you should use different datasources.

  • One ibot for multiple reports (or all reports in one topic/folder)

    Hello,
    Is it possbile to set the ibot for report caching to consider a whole bunch of reports rather than setting
    up one ibot for every single report?
    Regards,
    metalray

    Hello ADB,
    Thanks for that. I wonder how to prove that the caching worked or that is has been done.
    I noticed the .TBL files in the cache directory but that does not tell me much. Using OBI Administration and looking at the cache on the physical layer
    did not help me either understand how all reports in my dashboard are now cached by running the ibot at midnight.
    Out of the BI Answers, Delivers and Dashboards manual:
    "NOTE: The Oracle BI Server maintains its own cache. This cache is separate from the Oracle BI
    Presentation Services cache.
    When you select a specific dashboard or request, Oracle BI Presentation Services checks its cache
    to determine if the identical results have recently been requested. If so, Oracle BI Presentation
    Services returns the most recent results, thereby avoiding unnecessary processing by the Oracle BI
    Server and the back-end database. If not, the request is issued to the Oracle BI Server for
    processing."
    So basically I want to know how I can see that BI Presentations Services has
    really cached the reports in my dashboard i.e. if my ibot works
    Thanks,

  • Problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server  2008

    Dear all,
    I have problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008.
    when I created some parameters and groups in Crystal Report 2008, they showed both parameters in 'Parameter button' and group in 'Group button'  on the left, so I can choose or type without clicking 'Refresh button' But when I added it to Crystal Report Server 2008 and I click parameter button , it doesn't show any parameter. Only click refresh button to choose them. On the other hand, for 'Group Tree' is ok. When go to Default Setting-> Parameter, all parameters are in 'Unused parameter'  First time I think I had problems with my installation, but when I reinstalled it again, it was like before.
    Could any one help me with this?
    I appreciate looking forward to your reply

  • How to set printersettings for the crystal report viewer in SAP BI dynamically

    Hello
    I have set the URL method for my crystal report and with parameter passing as shown below, it was displaying the crystal report viewer by connecting to the SAP BI 4.0 server with this method.
    http://cr:port/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sDocName=CRLabelParam&sType=rpt&lsSnPrinted=0&lsSsTestProjectNr=1
    This URL will be called from Web application by different users, i would like to set the printer settings differently for different users for this crystal report viewer how shall i need to set the printer options?
    shall i need to set the printer settings programatically for each user. Please advise me how do i need to proceed.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Rajeswari.

    There are no BI / CR APIs that would do this for you. The way I see it, you'll have to have your own print button and populate it with the correct printer information for each user as they request the report. Of course, alternatively, use the viewer printer button and get the users to choose the correct printer.

  • One TPV for multiple Countries

    Hi Experts,
    Could you pls share experirnce/knowledge around having one TPV for multiple countries together. The scenario is like below:
    1. There are mutiple Countries in Central America which are small islands for whom we need to roll out the Travel and Expense Solution.
    2. The Company code is only one which contains employees from all these Countries.
    Could you tell us how can we do the setup. Should we create one TPV at the company code level. OR should we rather use some other criteria for selecting the TPV maybe at the Personnel area or Personnel Sub Area level.
    Your help is much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Vijay

    Hi Kiron,
    These things I am aware about too. My real question is if I create only one TPV for the company code and assign the Country of the Company code then what issues would this cause. To name a few pls see below.
    1) The domestic Country would always be the Company code Country so would be treated as Domestic Country and show on the Form also as domestic Country even for the employees who are from other Countries.
    2) There are setting which SAP allows differently for Domestic and International like per diem, miles cumulations. So these necessarily have to be kept as same even though local laws are different in all these countries as Domestic is only the Company code Country.
    So I need detailed analysis of what impact I will have by having only one TPV as against making many TPV like one for each Country by using some other parameter like Personnel area/Personnel sub area etc.
    Appreciate your help!
    Regards,
    Vijay

  • Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

    Can i install itunes multiple times on one computer for multiple users?

    Like most applications you only need to install it once for it to be available to all users. (That said it is possible to install an application and only make it available to the current user, but that's rarely needed.)

  • One lockbox for multiple company codes

    Is it possible to have one lockbox for multiple company codes?

    No, I don't think so. Lockbox is 1:1 for a Company Code.
    You configure Lockbox for a Company Code.
    You can use one of the 2 available Lockbox user exits (not sure which) to write a piece of code that searches invoices against the customer posted to different company codes. You will have to have the intercompany setups.
    You may find an OSS notes for intercompany clearing.
    Hope this helps!
