Passing Parameters in Crystal XI (v1) to SQL or MS Access Stored Procedures

Post Author: mib
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
In Crystal Reports 8.5 I had a report with a parameter called WeekCommencing which was
a datetime parameter. This worked against a stored procedure in a SQL
database and a union query with a parameter within MS Access database
- my application works on either platforms.
Now in Crystal XI, Crystal is now looking for a parameter called
@WeekCommencing which would be the full name in the stored procedure
but if I rename the parameter the same report would no longer work
against the MS Access database.
Anyone have any suggestions?

How to Pass parameters to Crystal report 10 based on Oracle Stored Procedur

Hi,
I use the following code to pass the parameters:
Rep.Tables[0].ConnectBuffer := Connection_Str;
Rep.Tables[0].AliasName := 'REP';
Rep.Connect.Propagate := True;
Rep.ParamFields.ByName('Lang', '').CurrentValue := IIF(BiDiMode = bdRightToLeft, '2', '1');
Rep.ParamFields.ByName('SESSION_ID', '').CurrentValue := IntToStr(Session_id);
Rep.WindowState := wsMaximized;
Rep.Show;
The 1st parameter 'Lang' which created from crystal report pass well,
but the 2nd parameter 'SESSION_ID' which created from Oracle Stored Procedures give the following Error:
Error: 202 Parameter Name could not be found u2013 ParamFields.ByName
However in MS SQL Server the above code work fine with the 2 Parameters.
Any one has solution,

Hello,
Click on the businessobjects Tab above and then select Samples and dowload the sample app you for your SDK. There are a few samples for changing/setting Parameters.
The Parameter collection has all parameters.
Thank you

PASSING PARAMETERS TO CRYSTAL REPORTS THRU FORMS!

Hi! all,
Is there someone who passed parameters to crystal reports from
forms 5.0?
The problem is when I call the report executable from the form,
its giving a login prompt again which is not desirable as @ this
stage the user has already logged in once. So is there a way to
pass this as a parameter to crystal or may be any better way???
Thanx for the solution,
Hima

Writing mulitple sql statements in 1 stored procedure

Hi all, can i know how to create mulitple sql statements in 1 stored procedure??
Eg the first sql statement will generate few results and my second sql statement will based on the first statement result to execute its second results and my third sql statements will on the second results to generate the final results which will be passed back to jsp pages as a resultset??
For the time being, i only know how to create a single sql statement in one stored procedure..i had surf through the oracle website but cant find any solution. Can anyone help me?? Samples or links to any website will do.. Thanks alot...

Hi Irene,
If I understand your question correctly, then I have already written
a similar (PL/SQL) stored procedure without any problems.
However, I do think your question is more suited to the following
forum:
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jsp?id=478021
I also think it will help others to answer your question if you
include the following information:
1. Version of Oracle you are using.
2. The error message you are getting.
3. The part of your code that is causing the problem.
Also, have you looked at the following web sites?

Do SQL pros write seperate stored procedures to handle Save and update operations?

hi friends,
Currently i'm bit confused with the industry standard of writing store procedures for save and update operations. I have sees people write separate stored procedure to handle save and update operations even they have to write complex queries. Also I have
seen people writing one store procedure to handle both Save and Update operations even when the queries are complicated. when I asked them why they do it, they said why should waste time on writing another query to update instead write one save store procedure
to handle all.
In here there are SQL Pros, Gurus, what would say about this?
what is the actual industry standard with stored procedure to perform save and update operations, do you write separate ones or do both in one?
thanks
I use Visual studio 2012 Ultimate and SQL server 2008 developer edition!

>what is the actual industry standard with stored procedure to perform save and update operations
There is no industry standard. Guideline though you want to be happy with the sp-s; same for your peers.
As noted above the MERGE command is like a Swiss Army knife; it can perform INSERT, UPDATE & DELETE
in one (huge) statement.
Make sure you pick good names for the sp-s, document the parameters and comment the logic if any.
Format the stored procedure for readability:

Crystal reports for eclipse ver 2 with oracle stored procedures

Does Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 2 support Oracle Stored Procedures.
I have been struggling to get this to work for the last 1 week.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Avinash Tauro

Thank you for your reply.
Does this mean that oracle stored procedures cannot be used at all in the J2EE environment. As even if I create the report using Crystal Reports 2008, I am unable to get it to work.
However It works great on .NET.
Since I can't use stored procedures, I've just copied the query to a bean and am executing it using jdbc. Also I am using the POJO method to link to the report.
This is working fine, except for the maintainance headache, as I have about 25 stored procedures for reporting, with each having a pretty complex query.
I guess I will convert all the stored procedures to front end based query mangement and use the POJO method to connect Crystal Reports.
Any suggestions / recommendations would be helpful.

Automatically Pass Parameters From Crystal To SAP B1

So, I've searched extensively, and haven't been able to find an answer to my unique issue.
This question pertains to linking a Crystal Report by parameter values to the OWOR table in SAP B1, and automatically passing those parameter values from the active record in SAP. Several other tables are used in sql joins, but the report is generated from an OWOR production order. I should start by stating that the report works great when manually populating the parameter fields when SAP calls for them.
Overview:
I've written a report in Crystal that contains several sub reports, some of which are looking to the DocEntry field as the parameter (DocKey@) and others that do not look to the DocEntry field at all - but rather use another field on the form to pull up information that spans more than just that one production order. I've chosen to upload as a layout in SAP (as that is all I've worked with up to this point, and it seems it needs to be to automate from a production order); but as I continue to research, it appears DocKey@ is mandatory when uploading as a layout, and in order to view the report from the actively selected production order, it must be a layout. Does that mean the parameter is required in all sub reports? Is it required in any sub report?
I have two main issues that I need to hurdle for this report to work how I would like it to:
1. Three of the eight Commands (one main command and seven sub-report commands) use the DocKey@ as the parameter to pass from SAP back to Crystal. The main report command, as well as four of the sub reports/commands are looking to another field in the OWOR record - which happens to be a re-seller defined field (UDF). For all intensive purposes, let's call this field BatchID. I'm assuming the sub report commands run in succession, one after the next. The reason I need to use BatchID as the parameter to pull from the record, rather than DocEntry, is there are other records that contain the same BatchID, and I want all of the info pertaining to that BatchID to populate on the report.
Q1: The first command containing DocKey@ is automatically populated by SAP, and the user does not have to key that one in. However, the next two DocKey@ parameters do not automatically populate, and the user is asked for those values. How can I fix this?
Q2: How can I automate the passing of BatchID so the user does not have to fill it in 5 times when they wish to preview the report(layout)? Can I link ObjectID@ to any field in OWOR? Is there any other way like creating a stored procedure or something , to automate the passing of that variable from the SAP active record to the crystal report - so the user doesn't have to key it in several times just to pull up the report?
Thank you so much for even reading, let alone helping me with this issue!!
Cheers,
Nick

Passing parameters from java jdbc to pl/sql

I’m calling stored procedures from java jdbc… but looking for nicer interfaces in terms of passing data. Has anyone come up with a good way to pass data from java jdbc to pl/sql without passing a million parameters? I’m thinking here of some type of structure like pl/sql rowtype or table index type or something else. Has anyone tried to create typed objects in oracle databases and access them from java?
Thanks, Patrick Caldwell

Hi Patrick,
Yes, I have created an Oracle object type, which I successfully returned to a java class, from a PL/SQL stored function, using JDBC. Environment was J2SE 1.3.1, with Oracle 8.1.7.4 on SUN [sparc] Solaris 7 with Oracle's JDBC (thin) driver. It was a while ago, so I don't remember the details very clearly, but I recall being able to figure it out quite easily using the Oracle documentation and the sample code available at Oracle's Technet Web site.
Hope this has helped you.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Passing Parameters to Crystal Report

Dear all,
I wonder if anybody has tried out the crystal report bundled with workshop
in SP2.
I got some problems when I try to pass a parameter from a jsp in workshop to
crystal report according to part 4 of tutorial in the Crystal Reports for
BEA Weblogic workshop Developer's guide.
This message show in the web browser:
com.crystaldecisions.report.web.viewer.CrystalReportViewer
Some parameters are missing values
However, the report viewer works fine in workshop if I am not passing
parameters.
If anyone has successfully setup a report which involves parameter passing
in workshop, I would appreciate you can share the tricks how to make it
work.
Thanks!

Hi Orion,

How to pass Multivalue parameters from main report to the subreport to a database stored procedure

I am having a Main Report, where the user selects the parameters, and calls the subreport which in turn calls the stored proc which updates the report parameters table, which will be used by all the other sub reports to filter data on.
It works fine when I pass single values from the Main report to the sub report, and it updates the database, but when I map the formula field to the subreport, the subreport does not even show up, and nothing happens on the database. I am thinking the subreport is not executing. I am using the 'Change Subreport Links' to map the formula fields to the subreport parameters.
Please let me know if there is any other work around or a sample report which solves a similar problem.

That is definitely a problem. CR 11.0 has been out of support for 5+ years(?). CR 11.5 has been out of support for close to 3 years.
As far as I am concerned, the suggestions given here are going for naught as presumably they are based on recent builds of CR (E.g.; CR 12.x or higher). I really doubt that Abhilash or Jamie remember if CR 11.0 had problems related to the issue at hand. But they do know that their suggestions work in current versions of CR.
Thus a suggestion; I suspect that you should be able to obtain an image from your IT where you can install CR 11.0 and update it to CR 11.5. Then use this as a proof of concept to the powers that be in your org that it is time to get with the times. BTW.; the most current version of CR is CR 2013, version 14.1.x(!). Again, something that your org should be aware of. So, even better than updating the image to CR 11.5, download the free 30 day eval of CR 2013 and try the suggestions in that version. The eval download is here:
SME Free Trials | SME Software | SAP
BTW.; CR 2013 is a side by side install, meaning that it will happily co-exist with your current CR 11.0 install.

EmpNo Number, Empname Varchar2(50), Zip_Code Varchar2(5).
I am populating this variable in Java code and passing it to Stored Procedure.

Joining java array with SQL table in a stored procedure

Hey,
I am calling a pl/sql stored procedure from a java program passing two arrays (employees) and (departments) as parameters to the procedure. Within the procedure I have stored the arrays in a table of records like this:
type t_emp_type is record (employee_id number, department_id number);
type t_emp_tbl_type is table of t_emp_type index by binary_integer;
Where all elements in employees are stored in the employee_id column and departments are stored in the department_id column. So basically I've got a table like:
l_employee_tbl t_emp_tbl_type;
Looped through the arrays and stored the data like:
for i in 1..p_employees.count loop
l_employee_tbl(i).employee_id := p_employees(i);
l_employee_tbl(i).deparment_id := p_departments(i);
end loop;
Now I would like to compare my l_employee_tbl with a SQL table in the database. Basically I would like to join my l_employee_tbl table with a SQL table named departments on department_id, returning all department_id:s that was not found in table departments.
However, it is not possible to select from a user-defined table type. I have also tried to use the table() function and to cast l_employee_tbl, but found out it can't be done with records. And I would really like to use records or some other type where define my PL/SQL data. I know that you should not mix PL/SQL and SQL but in this case I think it is more efficient to try joining these "tables". Does anyone have a solution for this or advice to try something else out? It would be most appreciated.

Basically I would like to join my l_employee_tbl table with a SQL table named departments on department_id, returning all department_id:s that was not found in table departments. Of course, not possible as the SQL engine does not support PL/SQL user defined types. PL/SQL however support user defined SQL types. Which makes SQL defined types a lot more flexible.
However, it is not possible to select from a user-defined table type. I have also tried to use the table() function and to cast l_employee_tbl, but found out it can't be done with records. Never mind SQL and PL/SQL - as a generic programming data structure principle. How do you expect being able to cast an associative array (name-value pairs) to a standard array? The two data structures are very different. So I'm puzzled in how you expect to move a non-scalar name-value pair data structure into a non-scalar value only data structure?
And I would really like to use records or some other type where define my PL/SQL data. Why exactly? If the Java or PL/SQL data structure is populated using SQL data and database data, and wanting to use that data structure in SQL, what is the point? Why pull SQL data into a client data structure at all then - surely it is far more performant and scalable to rather keep that data in the database, and do the joins/selects/filters/etc using SQL?
There is also the issue of scalability of local data structures in PL/SQL. The PL/SQL engine runs inside an Oracle server process, consuming private process memory on the server. The bigger the data structures used in PL/SQL, the more server memory needs to be allocated to that server process. This does not scale. Especially not if 10 or more such server processes are running the same PL/SQL code and each server needs to grab large chunks of server memory.
If the data from Java comes from another source (e.g. keyboard, etc), and you need a means of storing this data server-side for use by PL/SQL and SQL. There are 2 basic choices. PL/SQL arrays for smallish amounts of data - and basing these arrays preferable on SQL data types allowing the array to be used by both SQL and PL/SQL engines. If the amount of data is not smallish, then it should be stored in the SQL engine (database) as that is designed for that exact purpose. And if the data is transient, then a GTT (global temp table) structure can be used (and indexed for optimal access).
