Possible bug in SQL Commands – object required

Hello,
I tried to run the following in the SQL Commands:
select * from emp
where empno = (select MIN(empno)
from emp
where empno > :ITEM)If memory serve, it was suppose to open a pop up window, and allow me to enter a value for the bind variable. What I'm getting is a run time error about object required. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Arie.

Hi Dimitri,
Yes, you are correct. It's strange though, because I don't remember such a behavior in the past, and also with this current browser configuration, I don't seems to have any problems with date pickers or help windows. I should probably look into it a bit deeper.
Thanks,
Arie.

Problem creating a SQL command object and adding it to a Crystal report

Hi,
I'm trying to add the following SQL command object with the following sql for MYSQL 5.1
SELECT lic.id, lic.productionname, comp.companyname, lic.paymentreceiveddate, lic.licenseissuedate,
IFNULL((SELECT sum(licsong.feequoted) from licensesong licsong where licsong.licenseid = lic.id), 0) as totalfeequoted,
IFNULL((SELECT sum(licsong.feetax) from licensesong licsong where licsong.licenseid = lic.id), 0) as totalfeetax,
IFNULL((SELECT sum(licsong.feequoted + licsong.feetax) from licensesong licsong where licsong.licenseid = lic.id), 0) as totalfee,
IFNULL((SELECT sum(pay.fullamount) from payment pay where pay.licenseid = lic.id),0) as totalpaid
FROM license lic
INNER JOIN company comp on lic.licensecompanyid= comp.id;
This sql runs fine in the Query Browser of mysql and returns what I want.
When I try to add this SQL command to a new Crystal Report, (by right clicking in the sql editor and selecting Crystal Reports - Add to new Crystal Report), it locks up my Eclipses and it ends up not responding. If I just do a simple SELECT * FROM license it works fine.
The Eclipse I'm using is from the CR4E download page with the crystal plugin already installed.
Any help with this would be greatful, as I am not having much joy with this CR4E 2.0 with MySQL and may have to scrap it and go back creating reports in Apache POI.
Any help greatly received.
Kind regards

Hi,
Try to select a particular columns instead of doing SELECT * FROM license.
Thanks,

SQL Command Object

We are in the process of migrating reports from SSRS to Crystal 2011.
In SSRS we are able to paste complex SQL into reports as the data source for the report (e.g. multiple CTE's, correlated subqueries, temp tables, etc).
It appears that we can accomplish the same thing using Crystal command objects, but the reports created have to be distributed as stand-alone rpt files to customers. In that case the reports that use sql commands return an error that the command object does not exist. It seems the command object exists in the data connection (which is generated at run-time in the host application) and not in the rpt file itself.
Is it possible to somehow use an sql query as the data source in the report in a manner that is independent of the data connection?
Thanks

Hi,
That's interesting, the query shouldn't be stored in the data connection. It should be saved inside the rpt as part of the SQL Query.
How are you distributing the reports?
How is your application connecting the reports to the database?
As long as the reports logon to the tables and objects used in the SQL Command exist on the database it should run without a problem.
As a test, open the report in Crystal and go to Database | Show SQL Query. You should see your SQL Command there. Copy and paste the SQL into your production database and see if it runs.
Good luck,
Brian

Is it possible to write SQL commands

Hi Everybody
Is it possible to write your own sql commands in the report. SQL is created automatically when you drag and drop objects, but now i got a scenario where i want some changes restricted only to particular report. I dont want the changes at data level, thus want to do it query level.
so is this possible and if possible, then how can we do it.
Regards,
Rohini

Can you let us know the scenario plz?

Possible Bug? SQL query changing the Cursor Type from Scrollable to non Scrollable in a ResultSet

Hi all,
I've been beating my head against this for a few days now, and while
there is a workaround, I haven't found out what's causing this to
happen.
Every other SQL query except for this one particular query works fine
and returns a scrollable result set. That one query on the other hand,
returns a non-scrollable result set.
Here's the code which is calling the query:
sqlStatement = getSQLFromFile();
debug("SQL statment = " + sqlStatement);
stmt = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
debug(sqlStatement);
rst = stmt.executeQuery(sqlStatement);
debug("The type is " + rst.getType());
rst.last();
For most queries, the output is "The type is 1004" - which means the
resultset is scrollable - as it should be.
For one particular query, the output is "The type is 1003" which means
that the result set is of type forward-only.
Of course, calling rst.last() fails in the second case.
If the difference between the queries was drastic, I might have
something to go on. I've tested this out with different size queries,
but the switch between having the type incorrectly changed is the
deletion of a 0x0a 0x0d on the first line.
I.E. this means the failing query reads :
"select
from........."
and the query which works reads
"select *
from........."
I've looked at the failing query in it's binary format, and that's the
only difference I can discern.
To further confuse things, there are other queries which have a
similar format - and which work.
I've read about a bug in Weblogic 5.1 SP9 which ignores the setting of
the Statement to return a ResultSet with a scrollable cursor, and
while this seems to be a bug, it doesn't seem the same bug at all -
besides, I'm using Weblogic 6.0 with SP1 on a W2K system.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this? I'm
stumped..

Access to Previously-saved SQL in SQL Commands Window

Hi all,
If I've saved some SQL in the SQL Commands window, shouldn't that be available to other developers when they click on the Saved SQL tab? I saved a sample query and one of my other developers doesn't see it. I don't see any setting available in the developer account that controls whether or not the account can see others' saved SQL.
If this isn't allowed, then I don't really see the point of the Owner drop-down in the Saved SQL tab.
Any advice?
Thanks!!
John

Hi Sc0tt,
I think you may be referring to the Schema drop-down that appears in the upper-right area in SQL Commands, Object Browser, etc. That isn't the drop-down I'm referring to. I'm referring to the Owner drop-down that appears in the lower-half of the SQL Commands window then you click the Saved SQL link. I understand that to be the ApEx developer who saved the SQL - nothing to do with database schemas.
I saved some SQL using the Save button assuming I could tell my other developers that if they click Saved SQL they'd see it listed. They don't, and the only choices in the Owner drop-down for any of us are "-- All Users --" or our own user. I don't see any setting I can change for our accounts to allow/prevent seeing others' Saved SQL, so either it's a bug, or if it's intentional that a user can only bring back their own saved SQL then there doesn't appear to be any point in having an Owner drop-down.
Thanks,
John

Schema name added to SQL query after SQL Command

Post Author: rickeb1
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hello,
I am using Crystal Reports XI. I have created a Crystal report in the usual manner using a set of tables from a given database schema. When I look at the SQL query that Crystal generates, there are no data schema qualifiers anywhere.
Then I added an SQL Command object that I use as an additional table. Now when I look at the generated SQL query, the data schema name is added to the beginning of the original query as well as to the new SQL Comand code. It also creates an EXTERNAL JOIN which uses this hard-coded schema name (not exactly sure what an "external join" is).
This hard-coding of the schema name is causing a problem when we try to migrate the report to a different environment. Is there some way to avoid having Crystal generate a query with the schema name imbedded in the query, or is there a way to remove it after it is generated?
Thanks!

Possible to change the datasource from a business-view to a Sql Command ?

Hello,
When a business view contains a lot of elements it takes a while just to open the report.
We'd like to keep the BV as the dictionnary, but,
once the report design completed,
we'd like to disconnect the business view and replace it by the Sql command which can be seen in the menu option 'show SQL query'.
Is it possible via the RAS sdk ?
Did somebody experience this ?
How to proceed ?
Thanks a lot
Alain

Hi Ted,
I'm thinking opening a Case for this problem of opening reports based on a big BV.
We can't really reduce the BV, since it is the dictionnary and we need the whole thing...
I'm wondering why it is impossible to change the Datasource if the tables and fields underneath are identical.
Is it impossible to change the fields' mapping ?
The other solution, as you suggest, is to create a report from scratch, create a new Datasource with the Sql command format, and rebuild the report... I agree it looks like a big job...
Do you know if it is possible to export the report in XML for instance, change the XML, and then re-import ?
Thanks for your Help.

Possible Bug with Drag-and-Drop Being Published via HTML5 - Getting "Undefined" Error When Dragging Object

Hello,
I came up with a way to use drag-and-drop interactions that will take advantage of file input so that I may create a drag-and-drop interaction that uses one draggable object over and over allowing multiple scoring/tracking possibilities. Example use...is having the draggable object be dynamic in that it randomly changes its text so that a learner can drag a term it's possible classification.........thus allowing the possibility of having many terms easily loaded without having to redo a drag-and-drop interaction for each needed terms/classifications updates/changes.
My Issue: When using a variable to represent the text for a draggable Smart Shape object, I'm getting the error message "undefined" when, clicking/pressing on the object, as well as during the drag of the object. This issue occurs when publishing the project in an HTML5 format. Flash interestingly enough seems to work perfect...but we are not interested in publishing via Flash any longer.
To better help you explore this error message, I've set up a test project so that you can see when and how the "undefined" message shows up during a drag-and-drop interaction. I've also included the Captivate 8 project file used to make the exploration project I'm sharing in this post.
Link to Captivate project I created for you all to explore "undefined" error message": http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug/
Link to this Captivate 8 Project file: http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug.cptx
It's pretty interesting how things react in this demo, please try the following actions to see some interesting happenings:
Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target.
Drag Black Hello square to Drag target and click undo or reset - watch the undefined message come up on the Yellow (or variable drag box).
Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target and then use the undo or reset.
Move both draggable boxes to the drag target and use the undo and reset buttons...
Anyhow, I know you all are sharp and will run the demo through its paces.
I'd really be very honored if anyone help me figure out how I could (when publishing out to HTML5) no longer have the "undefined" error message show up when using drag-and-drop with a variable for shape text. This technique has been well received at the college I work at...and I have many future project requests for using such an idea on a variety of similar interactions. I'd love see a solution or see if this might be a bug Adobe may be able to fix!
I tried to find a solution to the issue documented here for quite some time, but I was not able to find anyone with this problem much less attempting the idea I'm sharing in the help request - save the darn "undefined" message that comes up!
Many thanks in advance for any help and/or direction that you all may be able to provide,
Paul

Hello,
I just wanted to supply a minor update related to my drag-and-drop question/issue stated above:
I did another test using Captivate 7, and found that the undefined error (publishing as HTML5) does not appear and the variable data remains visible - except the variable data turns very small and does not honor any font size related settings.
I did go ahead and submit this to Adobe as a possible bug today.
Thanks again for any help related to this issue. If the issued documented above is solved, it will allow many amazing things to be done using Captivate's drag-and-drop for both regular type projects as well as interaction development for iBooks!
Matter of fact if this issue gets fixed, I'll publish a Blog entry (or video) on way's I've used Captivate's drag-and-drop to create dynamic learning activities for Higher Ed. and for use in iBooks.

Is it possible from sql command?

Hi All,
I need to verify the path of Oracle_home from SQL
Is it possible thro sql command to find out the oracle home path?
If so from which view/table i can query?
Thanks in Advance...
Edited by: msg_ppm on Dec 12, 2008 4:44 AM

Not directly, Oracle instance is not ORACLE_HOME dependant per se. Technically as long as the Oracle installation is same version, you can start instance from any installation path.
Some parameter files are placed under ORACLE_HOME by default so you can get some hint like
SQL> select VALUE from v$parameter where name='spfile'
2 ;
VALUE
/oracle/apps/product/10.2.0/dbs/spfilepdb.orafrom above example, you know the ORACLE_HOME is /oracle/apps/product/10.2.0/

Data Migration - SSIS Transfer SQL Server Objects Task or something else

Can someone please kindly help me with this.
Scenario
I have a requirement to transfer selected tables and views (with a specific schema) between two databases which reside in two different servers. In the interest of clarity I will call my databases DB_A and DB_B respectively. Please note that these databases
are NOT on the same server.
Transfer of these objects (tables & views) happens once a month. 99% of the objects in question will be of the same name and schema between the two databases as the ones migrated from the previous month. However, metadata definitions may change on DB_A
and those changes are supposed to be reflected on DB_B along with the associated data. This therefore means that each time a transfer/migration happens; objects in DB_B are dropped first and completely replaced by objects from DB_A.
Problem
What is the best way to achieve this?
My first attempt has been a go on the Transfer SQL Server Objects Task
in SSIS. The problem that I have is that when using Transfer SQL Server Objects Task
I don’t know how to filter objects in DB_A so that only objects with a specified schema can be migrated.
Transfer SQL Server Objects Task appears to be the best solution to me to accomplish my requirement but I can’t filter the desired objects by schema. Someone suggested using C# but my C# skills are not that eloquent.
May someone kindly help please, or possibly suggest any other way which can be handy to fulfil my requirements.
Many thanks,
Mpumelelo

Hi Prashanth
Thanks for your response. There is one problem though in my case. I’m sorry I forgot to mention this in the original question. When the objects are moved from BD_A to DB_B the schema in DB_B changes. That is, schemas are not the same between the source and
the destination database. How do I handle that with the solution that you have suggested?
Many thanks,
Mpumelelo

Question re Command Object to populate parameter drop-down

I have a report that uses a SQL Server stored procedure as the data source. The first parameter they enter is their company number (we have numerous clients using Lawson and access Crystal through LBI). The next parameter is the account number. I have a SQL statement written that gets distinct account numbers by company. When I create a Command object with the SQL statement, it doesn't allow me to use the company parameter.
SELECT DISTINCT GLC.ACCOUNT, GLC.ACCOUNT_DESC
FROM dbo.GLMASTER AS GLM
INNER JOIN DBO.GLCHARTDTL AS GLC
ON GLM.CHART_NAME = GLC.CHART_NAME
AND GLM.ACCOUNT = GLC.ACCOUNT
WHERE GLM.COMPANY = {?Company}
ORDER BY GLC.ACCOUNT
When I do Add Command in Database Expert and add the SQL above and name the parameter and try to Add, it says "Failed to retrieve data from the datase.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Description: No value given for one or more required parameters
Does anyone have a similar situation and a solution to this problem--either regarding my approach and error or a different approach to get the same thing?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

You can't do this through a command object. This particular type of parameter is called a "Cascading Dynamic Prompt". You have to set these up through a Crystal Business View.

SQL Command returns multiple records, but I see only one record in report

I work with Crystal Reports XI R2 SP3 and Oracle 10g R2 database.
I have an SQL Command that returns multiple records. Command name is "CommDivisionNames" and it returns column "CommDivisionNames.DIVISION_NAME". When I place this field into report details section of the report, I can see all 10 records returned and this is how it should be. I actually need this field to be placed in the report header section, and when I place the field there, then I see only the first record. I set that field as "can grow = true". When I do "browse field data" for this field, I see that all 10 records are there, but only the first one is displayed in report header section.
I thought that I can place SQL Command field anywhere on the report (page header, footer, details) and that it will always show all records that it returns from the database. Can that be done?
My "main part" of the report returns different set of records, and that's what I have in "report details" section. I need this list of divisions to be in the report header section, so user can see that the report was executed for DivA, DivC, DivE.
Thank you,
Milan

sharonamt:
Users select divisions from parameter, but the parameter multi values are division_numbers (1,5,10), not division_names. Division_names are visible in parameter_prompt_window as description, but parameter remembers only numbers and I don't know how I can reuse division_names later in formula.
I do join for division_numbers and make them into one string variable and pass to sub-report, but I think that I can only get these division_names by calling an SQL command or calling stored procedure.
If I try to do join({MySQLcommand.DIVISION_NAME}) I get error message "A string array is required here".
Carl:
I'm playing with cross-tab and I can use it to see all division_names in the report-header section. Since I need them in only one column or only one row, I have to edit cross-tab object and turn all unneeded border lines to white to make them look invisible. So, cross-tab could be a solution for my problem here.
Another option could be to re-write my SQL command. Since I've read here that SQL command could be written in the same way as I would write a stored procedure, then I could use a bit more complex code to get all multiple division names from the database table into a local cursor, and then use do-while loop to concatenate them into one string, and then to return that string as one record (like 'DivA, DivB, DivC'), and then it should not be a problem to display only that one record/string in report header. It is my understanding that Crystal Reports can call stored procedure that works with many cursors/recordsets and CR will use only the last recordset from the stored procedure. Do you think it could be done this way?
Thank you,
Milan

Read data from SharePoint using ABAP sql command

We need to read data from a SharePoint site and update the sap object services with the information. There is a lot of information on how to put data into Sharepoint from SAP, but we need to get data from SharePoint and put it into SAP. Is it possible to retrieve data from SharePoint using sql command in ABAP program? If it is possible, what do we need to do to have SAP recognize where to get the SharePoint data?
Richard Newman

Hi Newman,
You can use native sql in your abap code to read data from SharePoint's database. But I would suggest you to generate a SharePoint webservice which can provide you the neccessary data so that you can consume this webservice in ABAP
(Will be quite faster than native sql).
Regards,
Ozcan.

Using Crystal Reports formulas in Command Objects

Post Author: Hamish
CA Forum: Formula
Is this possible?
When I try and reference a formula in a command object
something like
select * from tablenamewhere id in (@testFormula)
@testFormula prints out as 1,2 on the report if I remove the reference in the command object
I get an error Incorrect syntax near @testFormula from SQL Server
(I'm using CR XI and SQL Server 2005)

Post Author: bryanflora
CA Forum: Formula
In a matter of fact, Formula is for you to calculate the result you get from DB.And if there's anything you want to pass to DB before you get result, it's Parameter.
