Hi,
I'm try to invoque a Answer Report in MsWord, by Oracle Publisher, and i need to create a template.
So, i have a principal document and this document have a subtemplate. I need insert into the Template
one chart designed with Answer's tools, but this chart needs to receive a parameter to deploy the information
into a cicle for example:
group 1
text 1

text 3
group 2
text 4
text 5
I don't know how the chart receive an in parameter?, because the chart don't allow to manipulate into MsWord...
Thank's for your help!

Hi,
The following solution works for sharing parameters in CR Designer 2008. However, I am not sure if this can work with CR4E Designer. Request you to perform the mentioned steps in CR4E :
1. Click a main report with surbreport
2. Create a parameter in main report
3. Right-Click on subreport and select "Change Subreport Links"
4. Select 'Parameter' in Available Fields -> Fields to link to
5. Click Ok
6. Click Edit Subreport and drag the parameter field in the 'Details' section of your subreport.
Now run the main report, it will ask you for a prompt. The same parameter will be displayed in your subreport.
Hope this works for your cause.
Regards,
Shreyans

Integrating an Exisitng multiple page PDF file into a report and outputting as one PDF

Post Author: sditmer
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
We would like to be able to PDF files into a report based on a file name contained in the detail of the report. For Example, I have some data in our database relating to a specifc PDF file including the name of the PDF that I would like to print in the header of the report and then print the actual PDF as the detail of the report. The PDF may be multiple pages so I would like the remaining pages of the report to follow on each page of my crystal report. Essentially I am trying to merge a report header onto a mulitple page PDF file as a single report. Is this possible to do out of the BOX with Crystal? Do I need some other tools to do this?

Post Author: IdoMillet
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Consider a 3rd-party tool as a solution (for a list of such tools, see http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html).My Visual CUT software allows you to automate the process of merging the pdf export of your reportwith a pdf file named based on a formula in the report. The resulting merged pdf file can automatically be printed or emailed.

Parameters for Answers report.

Hi,
I am creating an Answers report. We need to give a date range as paramters. Do we have to use the column filter prompt for this or is there any other way we can create parameter range for this. Not on a dashboard but just an Answers report. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

What kind of parameter range? If it's fixed, but dynamic, you can use repository variables and a filter. Say you want to filter "last week Monday through Friday" and run the report in Answers any day this week. Use this SQL on your date column:
BETWEEN TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY,-5,TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY,DAYOFWEEK(CURRENT_DATE)*-1, CURRENT_DATE)) AND TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY,-1,TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY,DAYOFWEEK(CURRENT_DATE)*-1, CURRENT_DATE))
You can modify the above to produce any date range, fixed, but dynamic, that you want.
If, however, you need the date range to be ad hoc and dynamic, you will need the column filter prompt (for Answers) or a dashboard prompt in a dashboard.

Problems using Dynamic parameters with Crystal Reports and SBO 8.8

Has anyone been able to successfully use a dynamic parameter in Crystal Reports with 8.8 using the Business One connector? When we try we get an additional logon to the database that pops up and the logon fails.
We need this because we want to return live lists of PO documents from the server for selection. We are also trying to use nested dynamic parameters, because we want to first return the PO document based on the PO number, and then chose specific rows based on a field value in POR1.
It works if we don't use the Business One connector, but then the report doesn't function properly inside of SAP.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have tried using tokens but they are too simple. I need something like a subselect where you first select one value and then another that is a subset of those values. Apparently the tokens can't even use a "where" clause.
SAP dances around Dynamic parameters, but won't come out and say that they can't be used with the B1 connector. If that is the case then they should just say so and stop wasting our time. Apparently Crystal is not truely interfaced with B1, just sort of hanging out with it.
I don't really care other than I have to do this select, subselect. If someone has a way to do that with tokens I would love to hear it.
Thanks,
Roy

Why I can't pass parameters into CR from VB6

I want to Pass parameters into crystal report from VB6.
But whatever I try, it don't work Fine,
always Show the message "This field name is not known".
Crystal Report::
Parameter: a.@cmpy;
                   b.@p1
formula:
a. If {?@cmpy} ="USA" or {?@cmpy} ="usa" then
      "This is test 1 sentences"
   else if {?@cmpy}="TWD" or {?@cmpy} = "twd" then
      "This is test 2 sentences"
b. if trim({?@p1})="1" then "This is test 3 sentences"
VB::
Public oApp As New CRAXDDRT.Application
Public oRpt As CRAXDDRT.Report
oRpt.ParameterFields(1).ClearCurrentValueAndRange
oRpt.ParameterFields(2).ClearCurrentValueAndRange
oRpt.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue ("TWD")
oRpt.ParameterFields(2).AddCurrentValue ("1")
I had trid to use "IsCurrentValueSet" function to check whether parameter was set or not, and It responsed "Ture",so I so confused about it.
Anyone know about this??
ps. I had trid other way that change the formula indirectly, although it can work fine, but it isn't a right way to solve my problem.
Edited by: DeanLai on Jun 22, 2010 8:54 AM

I Find something.
First I tried to add parameter and wanted to see these value on Report.
So I inserted {?@cmpy} and {?@p1} into report, and used VB code
"oRpt.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue ("TWD")" and "oRpt.ParameterFields(2).AddCurrentValue ("1")",
then ran the process, but it didn't display any value on report,
so why it couldn't pass value into parameter??
then I tried other way which was to add new parameter, and used the same way to pass
value into parameter, then it can display value on report.
So the different between these is {?@cmpy} and {?@p1} which come from
Stores Procedure.
While I set Database in crystal report, set all value into Store Procedure's
parameter(the window about "Enter Parameter Values"), then it automatic come out the DB columns and parameter(SP parameter)
, course include {?@cmpy} and {?@p1}.
Do this problem cause my question?
Can we pass value into parameter which come from SP parameter??
Can we use these parameter into forumla??

Parameters in sub report can't be changed

I have a main report and a drill through report - I can pass all my parameters no worries but when I try to change the parameter value in the second report it will not let me. It reverts to the parameters in the first report. I have another set of reports
where this does not happen and you can modify the parameters in the second report. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Kind Regards,
Penny

Hi Penny,
I can reproduce the same issue in my test. If we add parameters to pass to a drillthrough report, the parameter value is decide by the main report. When we enable the action go to report, we have already pass the parameter value to the subreport. It is in
order to display the data relate to main report.
In your case, we can add another duplicate parameter to work around the issue. Please add two parameters in the report, and then hide one of the parameter. We can pass the parameter value to the hide parameter. If we want to select other values, we can change
the visible parameter values.
There is a similar issue, you can refer to it.

Using OBI answers report as source in BIP report

All,
I am creating a BIP report using OBI answers request as source. I defined the data set, created RTF template from MS word and uploaded the same into BIP.
I am using dashboard prompts for this reports. I have 2 issues with this.
1. When I embed the BIP report in the dashboard along with BI answers report, the BIP report is not retrieving data when different metrics are selected in the prompts. for ex: grams and Kgs.
The logic to apply the factoring on data is already implemented in OBI. When i change the dashboard prompt, it is changing the data in BI answers report and not in BIP report. I am wondering why this might be happening. If you have any thought please share.
2. The BI report has some saved filters applied which uses some presentation variables in the filters. But those seem to be not effecting in BIP report. Please suggest any reasons and fix for these.
If any one have idea, please suggest.
Many thanks in advance.

The BI answers request contains saved filters, in which some filters have presentation variable and a default value set for the same. we are using this as source for the BIP report data set.
In this case the answers request is working correctly based on the prompt value selected where as the BIPub report is not working. The BIP report is working for only the default value. If we change the prompt for that parameter, it is showing no rows.
How BIP takes care of such answers request based reports?

Pulling data from crosstab into main report

Hello
I want to pull some data from crosstab into main report and show it in same row.
Activity date will always be today date. Loadnum is a uniq id number, carriercode also has uniq id.
In one row i have load,activity date, carrier code etc . I need to add a field which will show count all loads before today made by carrier code. Right now i added a crosstab which is counting loads made by carrier code. Is there a chance to pull/get the data/field from crosstab into the main report?
Thanks for any suggestions

HI Mateusz,
Where is the crosstab located?
You can do this without trying to get the count from the crosstab.
1) Group on the CarrierCode field
2) Go to Insert > Summary > Choose the field you used under 'Summarized Fields' in the Crosstab > Place this summary on the Group Footer 1
3) Suppress the details section and move all fields to the Group Footer.

Calling stored procedure into Crystal Report

Could any one help in suggesting how to call the stored procedure with parameters into crystal report?
i have tried using couple of methods
I have added this in add command option of Crystal report
Execute HRMS_DEVP.DPRC_GET_LEAVE_BAL(P_COMP_CODE,P_EMP_CODE,P_LV_CATG_CODE,P_DATE,P_BALANCE)
WHERE in p_balance i would be retrieving the output.
Second method i followed is
SELECT DFUN_GET_LEAVE_BAL(:P_COMP_CODE,:P_EMP_CODE,:P_LV_CATG_CODE,:P_DATE)FROM
DUAL;

Hi,
Have you tried the 'get_value' function?..The syntax is
declare
l_dept number(5);
begin
l_dept := get_value('dept');
/* further process */
end;
where 'dept' is name of the bind variable.

How to get EBS Concurrent Request number (and more) into BIP Report Layout

hi,
I have been using BIP for 9 months but have several years experience of Reports 6i development (matrix, drill-thru etc). We are beginning to use BI Publisher with EBS and would like to be able to incorporate the Concurrent Request number into the report layout (preferably in the footer area). I have looked back over previous forum posts and have found mention of how to get the report parameters into the XML datastream and template, but nothing for the Concurrent Request number. I've also looked at the DevTools/Reports forum but cannot see anything similar there.
It would add a lot of value to generated output for end-users if this information (+ environment/instance name etc) can be put into the layout.
Sean

Hi
Create a data query in data template/reports as
select fnd_global.conc_request_id "REQUEST_ID" from dual
and this will pick up the request id and then u can use it in the RTF layout
Hope this helps..

How to pass in a parameter into a report viewer on a jsp - and hidden

Hi, I've built a php application and am using the java environment to enable the crystal report/viewer. The developer was looking how to pass in a parameter into a report viewer on a jsp. Ultimately the end product we need is to get an HTML report viewer loading a report file with hidden parameters so to not expose other customer data (it's a shared database for multiple customers) preferably loaded from php using maybe the php java bridge. Would anyone happen to have any sample code or any guidance?
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib uri="/crystal-tags-reportviewer.tld" prefix="crviewer"%>
<%
// just a test to grab rpt name from GET
String rptFile = "report_files/" + request.getParameter("rpt");
%>
<crviewer:viewer reportSourceType="reportingComponent" viewerName=""
isOwnPage="true">
<crviewer:report reportName="<%= rptFile %>" />
</crviewer:viewer>
Many thanks in advance!
Mark

I am not aware of any html tags you can pass to the viewer for parameter values. Normally, you would load the report in code and then use the SDK with the report object to pass parameter values.

Date Span - Validation for start and end date parameters in Crystal reports

Hi,
I am new here and am unsure if this is the right place to post this issue. If so, I apologize for that.
I am working on Crystal Reports 12 and don't know if it is possible; to validate the parameters - Start Date and End Date are within a specific span of time. For Eg. Start Date and End Date should be within 6 months or Start Date should be a future date.
Can we prompt that parameters entered are invalid and have users re-enter it?
I will really appreciate any help into this issue.
Thanks Much,
RP

Hi,
Well, it is not possible to validate the date/datetime values in the prompt window, however there are other alternatives.
One of them is to create an Alert with the condition:
datediff("m",Minimum({?DateParameter}),Maximum({?DateParameter})) > 6
//This is to check if the start date and the end date are within 6 months
Another way of doing this is by displaying a message on the Report Header and suppressing all other sections if the date range values do not meet the condition.
Hope this helps!

Linking form and report and passing parameters

Is it possible to call a link with parameter from form to report? Let's say I have a form based on EMP table and when user clicks on DEPT_ID label I want to pass DEPT_ID as a parameter to a report showing detailed information about this department. All my attempts to do it were unsuccessful.
I've seen many questions like this in this thread and most answers refer to Portal FAQ document but there is NO information there on linking form forms to reports and passing parameters between them.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
null

This can be easily done. First open up two instances of your Portal. In one window, you will need to go into your component you wish to link FROM. In the other window you will need to go into your component you wish to link TO. In the component you wish to link TO there will be a moduleid. Note this somewhere. Then, you will see an area that says: "Call Interface: Show". Click on this. (In the window you are linking to.). In this window, you will see a bunch of stuff. At the bottom you will see a URL call. This is the call you need to use. At the top, it explains each piece of the URL call. Just subsitute YOUR appropriate information into the URL call. In the form you wish to link FROM, you will need to create a button. Just click on the green plus sign at the top of the screen (when in edit mode) and then declare it a button by using the Item Type drop down. Once you create this button, it will appear at the bottom, click on it and you will see an area to insert a Javascript. Click the onClick and insert:
get_field_name = getField(this.form,'COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE');
window.open('/pls/cc_prod/DAD_NAME.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=MOD_ID_HERE&p_arg_names=_sessionid&p_arg_values=&p_arg_names=COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE&p_arg values='+GETFIELD_NAME+'&p_arg_names=_COLUMN_NAME_IN_DATABASE_cond&p_arg_values=%3D');
In the fourth tab, where it says, "....before displaying form" insert the following: (This will tell the form how to handle the getField function.)
htp.p('<script language="JavaScript1.3">
< !--
function getField(form,fieldName)
var objName = "";
var tmp = "";
var dAction = "";
var sel_idx = 0;
var cnt = 0;
var instance = 0;
var slicedName;
var fillData = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < form.length; i++)
slicedName = form.elements.name.split(".");
tmp = slicedName[2];
instance = parseInt(slicedName[3],10);
if (!tmp)
continue;
objName = tmp;
if (objName == fieldName)
return form.elements[i].value;
//-->
</script>');
I hope this helps.
