Printing crystal report through infoview in CRS XI R2

Post Author: ngk
CA Forum: Publishing
Hi ,
We are using the crystal report server xi 2 version on windows. I have my reports published and am trying to schedule them through infoview to print to a particular printer which is my default printer.
When i set the printer settings manually by typing out a printer name , it is printing it out but how can i enable it to take the default printer on my machine without having to type it in every time which is cumbersome?
Currently we are using CR 8.5 on VB and it uses DLL files to print reports and it prints to the default server without any problems and does not ask user for the default printer also. We want to achive this kind of a interface through CR XI R2 infoview.
Thanks, NGK

You don't mention here whether you are viewing your reports, OnDemand or scheduled.Either way you should be able to change the command line of the service that you are concerned with and add the switch '-trace' this may give you the information you are looking for.Depending on how you are running your reports you may want to add this switch to the Job Server, Page Server, or RAS Server service. For more info on how to add switches to your service command lines see your Administrator's Guide. Rob Horne <a href="/blog/10">Rob's blog - http://diamond.businessobjects.com/blog/10</a>

How to print crystal report through DOS

Can we print a crystal report from report viewer in text mode for dot matrix printer through command prompt

Hi
I dont think there is a specific method for printing CR in DOS.
Try the following procedure:
first make a .txt file of the report and on the click execute a .bat file which should contain the command for printing to lpt1 the required generated .txt file.Use Shell() to execute the bat file.
I hope this works for you

Scheduling Report through InfoView - Destination Email

My question pertains to InfoView in Crystal Report Server 2008. I am trying to set up a scheduled report to run once, and be emailed as a pdf to my own email address. I am using the administrator account and can successfully do this through the CMC, but when I try to schedule the report through InfoView, the destination always reverts back to the Inbox destination rather than the email destination. The job has a successful status, but the destination is always the Inbox.
I am fairly confident my job servers are set up with the proper SMTP information since I am successful when trying this through the CMC and I am setting everything the same through InfoView.
Any ideas?

Hello,
This is Crystal Report Server 2008 and I guess Business Objects Enterprise 3.0.
When scheduling a report through InfoView I do the following:
Recurrence - Now
Format - I choose PDF, although it doesn't really matter for the problem I am having.
Destination - I choose email from the dropdown, there is no checkbox to ignore the defaults. I have to input my own information. I populate the From, To, and Subject boxes. I also choose to have an attachment sent.
I click the Schedule button and I am taken to the History window. The job has a status of Running. I choose refresh and the job completes with a status of Success. However, when I click the status and the Instance Details are shown, the external destination line reads as Inbox and no email is delivered. The report is delivered to the InfoView user's inbox, but not in an email as I selected.
This process works when performed through the CMC, but not through InfoView.

How to display wide crystal reports in Infoview

I have Crystal reports which are about 50 inches wide, I have chosen a PDF writer as the printer driver to fit the layout in the Crystal reports client tool and I export this report to the BO server on a AIX (Unix) server.
This report when viewed via Infoview, the report gets chopped off anything more than 12 inches approx. I have tried various printer settings and even no printer, I am able to scale upto 24 inches at the maximum.
How can I be able to display the 50 inches wide crystal report in infoview. Any help would be appreciable.
Environment: BO XI R2 SP 3.5, AIX 5.3
Thanks in advance,
Venkat

We have a problem with printing crystal report over web using ActiveX Control. When clicking print button, it only shows a blank dialog web crystal viewer page without any error. The page just simply hangs. We installed the PrintControl DLL and enable all the security setting for ActiveX Control for IE. It still does not print. Does anyone know why?
Environment.

When Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is enabled, using the ActiveX control to print reports from a Crystal 10 DHTML viewer results in the following error message:

How can this error message be resolved?

This is a known issue with Crystal Reports 10 and Crystal Enterprise 10 viewers and has been tracked. The Track ID is ADAPT00282199.
This error occurs due to the receiving application performing a case-sensitive check for the HTTPS request header value "ON". When a sender application sends the value as "on" in lower case, the error occurs. The update below changes the receiving application to be case-insensitive.

Print crystal report in A5 paper tray

Dear Experts,
I am using VB.NET
We have different printers like "Lexmark Optra T612_DB", "HP Universal Printing PCL 5 (v4.7)", etc., in the network, there will be 2 or more trays for each printer. One of the tray has A5 paper in it. While printing Crystal report,
1. How to find in which tray A5 paper is present?
2. How to select A5 paper tray for printing?
If the above 2 are not possible with crystal report object:
1. How to print crystal report using PrintDocument object?
2. How to find in which tray A5 paper is present using PrintDocument object?
3. How to select A5 paper tray for printing? using PrintDocument object?
Currently with the following lines of .NET code, it is always printing in Tray 2
report.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperA5;
report.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Landscape;
Regards,
Eswar

Unfortunately, it will be up to you to find out what tray the correct paper size is in, then set that to the report. The CR APIs do not look up these values, they just expect you to know these and set them.

Error message when trying to view/print Crystal reports in B1

I get the following Error message when trying to view/print crystal reports in SAP B1/Crystal Reports Integration Tool for SAP Business One:
" Could not load file or assembly 'Crystal Decisions Windows Forms, version=12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, Public Key Token=692fbea551e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. ????

Hi
Common issues for this :
1. Once you install crystall add on ,you need to go to Crystal report Administration >Account setup .
Put on the user name and password and click on creating ext tables
Try then running the report .
If not the case ,
make sure you install runtime .
You need :
1.Crystal report basic from SAP download -(Not necessary if you want only report viewer >
2.You need to have crystal integration addon (I think service pack is SP1)
3.Make sure you have runtime install
When you are installing ,make sure you restart your PC before you do or remove temporary file s
Hope this solves your issue

Altering schema of tables/objects inside a crystal report through API

hi all,
 We run crystal reports through a Java application (using CR4E API) connecting to Oracle database. All the tables/views within the report do not use fully qualified names (i.e. schemaName.objectName) instead they use the object name alone. Earlier we would run all the reports logging in as the schema owner and hence all the objects would be accessible without issue. Per a new requirement we now log in as a non-schema owner ID and the objects are now not accessible to this user id unless a fully qualified object is not provided as the default context schema will now be different.
 We tried altering the schema through the API like so,
 ITable origTable = null;
 ITable newTable = null;
 String DB_USER_NAME = username;
 String DB_PASSWORD = password;
 String TRUSTED_CONNECTION = "true";
 String SERVER_TYPE = "JDBC (JNDI)";
 String USE_JDBC = "true";
 String DATABASE_DLL = "crdb_jdbc.dll";
 String JNDI_DATASOURCE_NAME = jndiName;
 String CONNECTION_URL = connectionURL;
 String DATABASE_CLASS_NAME = driverName;
Tables tables = clientDoc.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables();
 for(int i = 0;i < tables.size();i++){
 origTable = tables.getTable(i);
 if (tableName == null || origTable.getName().equals(tableName)) {
 newTable = (ITable)origTable.clone(true);
 newTable.setQualifiedName("TestSchema." + origTable.getAlias()); <--- Set actual schema here but it still takes the alias as "command"
Are we doing anything wrong here? It appears that the table name is always "command", internally I think CR uses the name command for its table and we are not allowed to change it. The table name, alias and qualifier name are be default set to "command" by CR. If I append schema name to the table name I get schemaName.command as against schemaName.objectName.
Synyonyms are not an option for us for various reasons. We will not be able to go down that road no matter what. However we are looking at an API related solution here so if anyone could advise in this regard it would be very helpful.

Lindell - your response was very helpful. I was able to create a SQL Command on the subreport and change the subreport links on the main report to use the paramters in the SQL Command. The report is now very fast - even when there are lots of detail records on the main report. It is properly executing the query and not reading all 2M records into memory for each subreport.
I'm still totally confused as to why Crystal was misbehaving so poorly and changing how the subreport queried the database when the only change was the fields used for record selection on the main report. It really looks like a bug to me, but maybe someone can still enlighten me.
thanks again so much. We are in Parallel testing for a production rollout - and the users are MUCH happier now! (which of course makes me much happier!)
Susan
PS I was not aware of the SQL Command - had never used it before. Took me a little while to figure it out and how to do the linking - but it is very powerful. Thanks again.

Creating Sap Crystal Report Through Oracle Stored Procedure Packages

Hi,
1.How we can create crystal report through oracle stored
procedure packages pls tell me the steps through adding command then
tell me the syntax what should i write in command to call the stored
procedure packages or if have some other option then also tell.
2.can
we link stored procedure column to other table column that used in
report.

Hi Ganesh,
As this error comes when you are trying to insert non-numeric value into a numeric column in db it seems that your field might be numeric and you are trying to send it as a string in database.
Please check your Store Proc carefully..

Regarding Crystal Report and infoview

Hi All,
In My project I have the following requirements.
I have published a crystal report in infoview which contains three parameters field.
Report is running fine . At the parameter selection screen three options is coming "Execute" "Collapsed All"
and "Expand all" and user wants that it should contain only one option "Execute" or "OK" button.
Is it possible that I can change it from anywhere?Please reply me.

Keep in mind that we are not talking about the BOE or CR SDK here (which is supported from SAP) rather about modifying the existing BOBJ code.
You may try to use the BOE and Crystal SDK to write your own report viewers but to be honest you will save yourself a lot of time and money if you just tell your users/customers what those buttons do and ask them to avoid them.

Stratos

Printing Crystal reports via Great Plains 10

Hi,
I am unable to print (to printer) crystal reports in Great Plains 10. I can preview the report, export and print the exported file but the Print button does not respond when I click it (no errors, nothing) in the Crystal preview screen. We are using Crystal XI, Developers Kit.
I have set the report to 'No Printer', verified that I can print other files from the server, verified the default printer and I have spokes to GP (Microsoft), nothing has helped with this issue.
OS:
MS Windows Server 2003
Standard Edition
SP1
Thanks,

Hi Carolyn,
Great Plains is an OEM partner of ours and they MUST resolve this issue for you. If they can not figure out what the problem is they can create a case on line to get help from Support to help you.
Not sure if you have Crystal Reports Designer or not but if you do can you print from the Designer? If you can then it's an issue in Great Plains software.
Thank you
Don

Crystal Report Server - InfoView question

Hi . I have a question on the Crystal Report Server. I want to send the output ( excel file ) from a crystal report in Infoview. I tried to click the 'Send To' button, but it only sends out the .rpt file. Please help...

Hi,
If you schedule the report you will have output file options for Excel, PDF, Word...
You should probably have an Export option on your viewer as well - Excel should appear in this. (You need to have permissions to see this)
Regards
Alan
PS: This should be posted to the BO General or Crystal Reports forums.
