Open a Crystal Report preview from an Add-on

Hi All,
I'm just trying to open a Crystal Report preview using a button from my add-on.
I want to use the SAP Crystal report, (the runtime integrated with SAP 8.8)
Basically I have my report created, so I need to create the object, pass the parameters and open an screen with my preview.
The main idea is open this Crystal report object when the addon starts and then just use that object.
I've found an example with this object SAPbobsCOM.ReportLayoutsService but this is for SAP 8.8.1 and I'm working with 8.8. I don't know if i can use SAPbobsCOM.ReportLayout.
I need a simple example please.
Thanks .

Hi,
Have you read through this: View Crystal Report from add-on ?
Thanks,

Open a Crystal Report preview using a button

Hello. I need to open a Crystal Report preview using a button from my add-on. I've already created my report, so I need to create the object, pass the parameters and open an screen with my preview. Does anyone has a C# example? Thank you.

hi,
this is code for open the crystal report press the button.
First import the crystal report using Report and layout manager
goto administration->setup->general--->Report and layout manager
create one button in add-on form.when we press the button the following event triggered.
get the docnumber for that particular form and pass it.
Case SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_ITEM_PRESSED
                        If pVal.ItemUID = "btnPrint" Then
                            Dim strAcNcmr As Integer
                            strAcNcmr = objForm.Items.Item("txtDocNo").Specific.Value
                            Dim oRS As SAPbobsCOM.Recordset
                            oRS = objSBOAPI.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset)
                            oRS.DoQuery("SELECT MenuUID FROM OCMN WHERE Name = ' Purchase Indend' AND Type = 'C'")
                            objSBOAPI.SBO_Appln.ActivateMenuItem(oRS.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString())
                            Dim oForm1 As SAPbouiCOM.Form
                            oForm1 = objSBOAPI.SBO_Appln.Forms.ActiveForm
                            oForm1.Items.Item("1000003").Specific.String = strAcNcmr
                            oForm1.Items.Item("1").Click()
                            oForm1.Items.Item("1").Visible = False
                            oForm1.Items.Item("2").Click()

Logon Screen when opening a Crystal Report from Add-on

Hello everyone,
I have a problem that I've been trying to solve. I have an addon that opens a Crystal Report with the information that the user wants. I tried it in SBO using a SQL db and it worked without problems, but now I've test it in SBO using IBM DB2 db (the client has that db implemented) and the report doesn't open, instead of the report it appears a log in screen asking for the server name, database, user and password.
I've tried every possibility without success, it returns a message saying that my login is not correct, the thing is that all I've written in that login screen is the correct info, even tried many possibilities... and I can't access to the report!
I've searched lots of forums for an answer, but none of them helped me. Can anybody help me with this issue?
Thank you very much,
Regards,
Mariana Mazzero

in case you do sure that is just lose some dll file,I think maybe you can create a install package by using Visual Studio.
you can create a form and put a crysyal object on the form. and use the wizard.
Visual Studio will auto collect all dll you needed.
than you can compare the file list,
or, you can just install the package on the standalone PC.
It's a stupid solution.
but, I think it is effective. :P

Open a crystal report from WAD with passing the variables values

Hi,
I need to know is there any way to link SAP WAD to crystal reports (open a crystal report from WAD)and pass the values of the variables which are entered in the Web App. (e.g. Customer id,year) should be passed to the Crystal Report.
Maybe we need to pass parameter by WAD URL but this is just my assumption and have no idea how to do this with passing variable values.
right now I know the method of how Bex queries which are used as data source for crystal reports but in my current scenario we have the structure like this that bex queries link with WAD and then WAD is linked with crystal reports.
No doubt that Crystal report is target option in RRI but there the source is Bex Query only but in current scenario we are looking WAD (web template) as a source to crystal report or crystal report called in WAD.
Please suggest something on same.
Thanks
Take care
Vishal sharma

Hello Vishal.

Have found an answer to this issue? If yes, please kindly inform how have you solved this.

Opening a Crystal Report in B1 8.8 in a User Defined Form representing UDO

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to open a Crystal Report from a User Defined Form representing my UDO?
I had developed a 'Vendor Quotation' UDO and its User Defined Form
I wanted to show the report while clicking the Preview menu in SAP B1 8.8 toolbar.
I have created the Crystal report and used the record selection as {@OVQT.DocEntry} = {DocKey@}
Please help
Also, is it possible to add Print layout and assign a default Print layout to this User Defined Form?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Arun

Hi,
I also face the same problem. I make a master type using UDO. But i want to print it.
In my opinion ( i haven't tried this way ). If we make a UDO ( master or document type ) , we will find the docentry and object field in our UDT. Both of these will connect between SAP form and Crystal report. In crystal report we select the tmsp_doclinetypelayout. It is a store procedure which will connect between SAP form and CR. Before that try to modify this SP by adding the udo object.
Fyi, if i'm not mistake dockey is connected to docentry SAP form.
Thanks

Reports are note retreieved by the application if opened in Crystal Report

Hi to all.
I am trying to modify one report used by an application I use. The application is made with .NET and, when I launch a preview or a print of this report, the report is not loaded if it is already opened in Crystal Report. To have it loaded, I must close it from Crystal.
Some time ago (july 2011), this was not a problem. I don't know if .NET version is changed or if Crystal is upgraded. I have CR Developer 12.2.0.290 version installed and the application runs under .NET frameworks from 2 to 4. In tehs erver machine are also installed CR Basic Runtime for V.S. 2008 and C.R 11_5 NetSetup.
Does anybody know if I can try previews whit RPT opened in C.R ?
Many Thanks.

You should be able to. I am not aware of this being a problem with CR 2008 (12.x). There was an issue like this with CR2010, but SP2 solved that. Lets' see what SP4 for CR 2008 does for you:

Crystal report preview window freezes if I push any key on the keyboard

our system is a pretty old one, and we are still using crystal report 7 and vc6(mfc6).
It is a simple dialog based application with a button and a flex grid7.1 component on it.
when the button is clicked, a crystal report preview window will be opened and become the active window.
the problem is that, when i pushed a key on the keyboard ('a' for example) the whole application will freeze, and CPU Occupancy Rate is 100%.
but if I switch the dialog to be current active window after a preview window opened, keyboard input won't make the application freeze.
It seems that crystal report preview window don't know how to deal with the keyboard input.
BTW:
I use the methods below to open a preview window.
PEOpenEngine
PEOpenPrintJob
PEPrintReport
have anyone here met any similiar problems before?
I really need your help.
thanks in advance.

Moved to Legacy Application Development SDKs forum.
I have nothing for you, other than; consider upgrading - after all CR 7 shipped in 1998(!). I don't know what OS you are on, but I suspect what ever OS it is, it was not even in a concept stage of thought when CR 7 shipped. E.g.; this may be an OS issue more than anything else.
BTW., print engine APIs were retired in version 9 of Crystal Reports. At this time, your best option is to upgrade to CR 2008 (12.0)and use .NET or Java. If you are using VB 6 or equivalent, you could still upgrade to CR XI r2 (11.5) and use the Report Designer Component (RDC). However, note that CR XI r2 will be out of support in June of this year. And CR XI R2 is the last version of CR to include the RDC.

Crystal report viewer from portlet

Hi,
I have a problem with opening Crystal report viewer from portlet. I am using Spring portletMVC but this doesnt matter in this case. After clicking some button a controller process form in method where is access to ActionRequest, ActionResponse. But how can I "redirect" with some parameters to plain JSP page where I can write something like this:
CrystalReportViewer viewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
     viewer.setReportSource(rcd.getReportSource());
     viewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(), out);
     viewer.dispose();
Oh, perharps is understandable, sorry for my English and thanks for helping. Any code of link would be wonderful.

I haven't worked with Crystal Reports in quite awhile, but in the past I've written code to launch Crystal Reports using OLE. If I recall correctly, there existed an ActiveX control that could be embedded into VB forms, and the like. I'm unsure, however, whether they continue to support this mechanism. Given that your requirements do not allow CLIENT_HOST or DDE, however, I am guessing that OLE automation would also be unacceptable.
Have you looked at WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT?

Use the upgrade management tool to move from 3.1 reports to BO 4.1. After migration, open the report in crystal enterprise 4.0, you will get a message saying that the report will be converted to latest version, will not be able to view from older version after converting.

Problem with crystal reports get from All in One Best Practice package

Hi,
I tried to use Financial Statements crystal report download from All in One Best Practice package but encounter the below errors. I followed the guide in Manual Steps for Additional Datasource Creation to set up the additional data source. When i try to preview the report, I tried to set all the value to Null but the error message still appear. I believe this has something to do with the infoset but i not sure how to resolve this. Those report which connect to infoset doesnt seem to work for me.
Errors:
Failed to retrive data from database. (then i press OK)
database connector error: 'no item structure data' (then i press OK)
database connector error: 'RFC_Closed'
Please advice
Thank you

Hi Afzal,
I think you misunderstood. The crystal report i am talking about is the 23 crystal report template i get from All in One Best Practice package. All i need to do is follow the "Quick Guide to impletement SAP Best Practices for Business Intelligence V4.31" to make those template works. For those template that connect to Database type: SAP Table, Cluster or Function, i can make those work. The problem i facing now are those template (example: Financial Statements) that connect to Database type: SAP Info sets. The error i receive are stated in my first post.
Please advice
