Parameters and CR XI viewer

Post Author: Brain
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I wrote an Access application, and a manager came along & wrote a bunch of Crystal Reports using the .mdb as the data source. Now he wants me to get everyone access to his reports without having me rewrite them in Access. The problem is that only those users having Crystal can run the reports. I tried the CR XI viewer, but that (or at least my understanding of it) falls miserably short because the reports have runtime parameters such as the date range. This means the users have to wait for someone else to open the report, save the data with the report, then they can view it.
Short of buying a copy of Crystal for everyone, how can I get them view access to realtime data? Is there an ActiveX control I can use in my Access DB to allow them realtime/runtime access to the parameterized CR's?

Hi Barney,
As you have seen the CRV is for viewing only and does not allow any interaction, as in refreshing or altering the data.
Not sure what you were using but you could send the report with data through e-mail of a common file share. The user can run the reports and filter on the existing data.
Or if you have a developer available it's fairly simple to create your own viewer and user interface.
Try posting your question to the OnDemand forum in Businessobjects, someone there may have other options for you also.
Thank you
Don

  • Having issues viewing interactive parameters and group tree in Visual Studio 2013 design view.

    Hey Guys,
    I'm a web developer (front end and back end, kind of a one man army sort of deal) and my current employer wishes to use crystal reports to display the results of the online survey apps/tools I have been working on for the last few months. However, I have been having trouble getting the reports to render in browser, and a lot of the ui components of the browser based report viewer (the interactive parameters and group tree) will not render properly in the design view of visual studio (ive attached a screen cap of what I'm talking about) or in the browser itself.
    I am new to crystal reports and its community and if I am leaving out any critical details or have posted in the incorrect section please inform me and I will make changes as necessary.
    Additional info:
    Visual studio version: 2013 professional (trial)
    Plugin version (exe file name): CRforVS_13_0_9.exe (I also installed the 64 bit run-time from this)
    Server and OS versions: IIS 7.5 on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
    Any help you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    -Mike

    Hi Mike
    First thing you want to do is uninstall CRVS SP 9 and install CRVS SP 10. SP 10 is the first SP to support VS 2013.
    Once that is done, let us know if that helped any.

  • Parameters and report on the same page

    I am new to HTML_DB. I would appreciate your help with the following:
    I have html page with items(parameters) and report on the same screen.
    Items are:
    Customer: Select list with Submit
    Invoice No.: Select list - Populated invoices numbers for the selected customer
    Department: Select List
    Prod Month: Date Picker
    Button: Report View.
    Users can select any of the above parameter to create a report. The problem is when I don't select any customer and just select the department or prod month and click on a Report View button, I get SQL error in the Invoice Number item.
    It seems when the page refreshes to create a report Invoice Number items sql query is executing but when it does not find the customer name, it’s giving the error.
    If I select a customer name, the page gets refreshed and the report is generated. I don’t want to create a report when they select a customer. I want them to select the parameters and click on the Report View button to create the report on the same page.
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Rek

    Sounds like you are building the query string and submitting that and the fact that they leave something out messes up that string...<br><br>If that's the case, you can add validations to the page to make sure they enter in all the appropriate information.<br><br>

  • Date Parameters and List of Values (error message date format cannot be nul

    I'm new to BI Publisher. I began with a simple report that has 4 parameters. The parameters are center code, sales date, customer number, and job number. I am trying to create a list of values on my customer number based on the center code and sales date entered by the user. My query for my LOV is:
    select customer_nbr
    from ticket
    where center_cd = :center
    and trunc(trans_date) = :salesDate
    salesDate is defined as a date parameter with a format of MM-dd-yy. It's default value is 04-10-07.
    When I attempt to view my report after adding the LOV, I receive the error:
    Date format can not be null.
    What am I doing wrong? Also, I would like the salesDate to default to the current date. I have tried using sysdate as the default value. This isn't working. The salesDate defualts to null when it is set to sysdate.

    "Date - allows the user to enter a date as a parameter. Note that the data type must also be "Date" and the format must be Java date format."

  • Print report parameters and report contents in separate pages.

    Hi ,
    I Have a report with more than 10 parameters and while printing i am supposed to print all the parameters in the first page and then the report contents in a separate page(next). This is an old report developed by some one else. i need to change this as per the user request. How can i do this. Any one can help me.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    You can print all parameters by using the syntax ¶m_name. For example, suppose your parameter names are P_1, P_2, P_3, and so on. You can print them in your report by following these steps:
    1. In the paper layout view of Report Builder, create a simple text object
    2. Write the following text inside the text object:
    &P_1
    Follow steps 1 and 2 for all parameters, eg, &P_2, &P_3, and so on.
    To give a page break, enclose all of these text objects inside a frame, and in the property inspector of the frame, set Page Break After > Yes.
    See Reports Builder Help for more info.

  • Unable to select the SSRS report parameters and execute the reports.

    Hi All,
    We have set of SSRS reports and are been published to SharePoint 2010.After that I have enabled Anonymous user access at SharPoint side,after enabling Anonymous user access no one is able to access the reports so I have removed Anonymous user access
    and the reports are working as normal in IE (internet explorer) but not working thorugh CITRIX (before Anonymous user access provided reports are working normal in CITRIX too), able to open welcome page of sharepoint and unable to select any parameters and
    unable to execute the rpeorts.
    Could you please suggest if you have any solutio as it is very urgent for me.

    Have you tried the basics, such as clearing the browser cache? Note that depending on the version of SSRS in use, Anonymous is not supported with SSRS.

  • Crystal reports and crystal report viewer

    Hi.
    I have up to recently used crystal report version 11.5 and reports have been made available for users in the organisation via Crystal report viewer.2010 ver 11.2.1.3.
    The reports have been saved without data, and the different parameters have been available for the users for them to select approriate dataset,.
    I have now upgraded Crystal reports to version 2013 ver 14.1 and crystal report viewer to same version.
    The problem now is that the parameters are no longer available for the users, and it is also a requirement to save the reports incl a dataset to even open the report in the new report viewer.
    What have I missed? Anyone that can help me ?
    brgds Torunn

    Hi Torunn
    An alternative may be to create a web app using either the Crystal Reports .NET or Java SDK. Depending on what development software you already have, this may be cheaper than CR Server or "BO server". E.g.; both the .NET SDK and the Java SDK are free:
    SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
    SAP BusinessObjects - SAP Crystal Reports, Version For Eclipse Download
    The above would be predicated on the assumption  that your org has some developer experience (or is willing to acquire it) and that you have the development software (e.g.; VS 2010, or 2012, or 2013 for the CR SDK for .NET).

  • Dbacockpit and the 'List View'-Button

    Hi there,
    since the update to NetWeaver 7.00 we get the new tac dbacockpit. After implement the required sapnotes it works fine.
    But where are my 'List View'-buttons in the old tac db2 esp. Installation Parameters and Subsystem Activity?
    This buttons produced a helpfull output to compare the parameters of different systems.
    But now there is no way to get an overview on all bufferpools with all the information at one time. It's a long way to go through all bufferpool detail pages.
    Is there any way to get back the old behavior of the tac db2 ?
    regards
    Kay

    Kay,
    Some of the lists have been disabled since the old design is not in accordance with the 'Accessibility' layout (see service.sap.com/accessibility for more details ).
    Unfortunately there's no workaround for this.

  • Needing a multi-month and year-in-view option for ical!

    Hello all!
    I could really use a multi-month and year-in-view format in ical... I've seen some dated posts - is anyone aware of any new developments/options for this?
    thanks and peace-

    I turn off all calendars but the birthdays. Select [Print]. Choose all the months you want to see. Deselect all calendars but birthdays. Click [Continue]. On the next menu, go to "Layout", select how many pages to print on the paper. I usually print a border around each calendar then you're good to go!
    By only printing the birthdays calenar, you won't get too many appointments to get in the way of brain storming and future planning, yet the computer still thinks its printing a useful calendar.
