Printing Individual Reports in Thick Client Application

HiI am exploring the capabilities of printing in Thick Client Applications.I am following Creating a Thick Client Application >> <a href="/node/321" title="http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/321">http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/321</a> In the crystal report viewer, there is a main report panel whereby there many different objects generating a separate report each.Left clicking the object in the main report panel loads the report on the right panel.My challenge is that the user would need to "remember" which pages, object 3 (for example) generates such a report, if he/she wanted to print that report (object 3's report) seperately.Is there an existing work-around to tackle this?(For instance, right clicking on main report panel and print that individual report.)Orbid

Hi Orbid, I want to clarify what you are asking to ensure that I have a good understanding of the question. When you view a report you are seeing a Group tree on the left hand of the report viewer. If a user drills into this particular group they are presented with a new viewer pane displaying only that group's data (and potentially some data that was hidden at the top-level). You are wondering if there is a shortcut that can be applied to the group tree which would allow the user to print that group's data without viewing first. Is this correct? I am not too sure if this is possible but I will check with the Developer. I know that we can capture the Drill-down event but I am not sure if we can extend the click action to provide a context menu containing custom events (e.g. print) I will look into this and get back to you.Regards, Sean

Tomcat session management (serverid) in loadrunner - thick client application (single signon)

Hi,
We have a system that is currently undergoing scalability and performance tuning and we are having a problem with sessions randomly expiring.
Here is our setup:
Tomcat
LoadRunner launching 20, 50, 100, 150, 200 users against the server
(within a few mins of eachother)
Thick client application (signle signon)
As per the business requirement created the scripts with single sign on, however in vugen
the scripts works fine. During the load test noticed that after few mins approx 7 mins started
getting the error.
Recording captured: Xml request and response
Correlation: serverid (ex. 2142) login transaction
Script details:
                             Login (serverid)
                             Action repeat iteration till the execution (replacing the serverid throught the script)
                             Logout (replacing the serverid throught the script)
But manually looks all fine the user can use the same one login throught the day without any expiration.
Note: while the user gets login a jsessionid 12BDE39384940483HDFFKDH.1 created but the loadrunner unable to record anywhere in the script.
Quick response will be appreciated.
If you need any additional information please let me know.
Regards,
Suresh.

I'm having the same problem, did you get any luck with this ?
Thanks

Deploy Crystal Reports 10 Thick Client

I bought CR10 but nobody could help me deploy a simple RDC application to a client. I am still using CR8.0 but now I need to upgrade as CR8 has a bug. CD10 works fine on my computer where the full CR10 is installed. When I deploy it, no error message just a blank screen where the report should be displayed. (I can send the small app with the relevant report file)
Do I need to purchase other licenses for the deployment? NB. this is not a
net or web application, just a thick client. I am desperate and would
upgrade to CR11 if required as long as the deployment can work.
I have tried the Merge Modules with Installshield for the deployment package. I am using Visual C++ 2005.
Is there anybody that can tell me what to do ... or can I download the client install package for CR10 somewhere?
Thanks

An assumption is that you are using CR 10.5(?)...
Make sure you are using SP 1:
Crystal Reports for VS 2005 and VS 2008 Updates & Runtime Downloads
If that does not help, Fiddler may be a good - see what it logs.
Check event logs.
Restart IIS(?).

Can't print a report from within web application

I can run the report within Eclipse and it displays fine. When I click the export button a modal window comes up and all works as expeced. If I click the print button then a modal box comes up but it is blank except for a little white square up in the top left corner.When I view the html source in the browser, the displayPrintDialog function makes reference to active X print control.prm.codebase = "../ActiveXControls/PrintControl.cab";but I don't have that within my web application. Is there something that I need to install on this machine to get printing to work?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Marty Jones 

Unfortunately the ActiveX print control was not validated with the CR4E version of the Java Reporting Component. Therefore users must implement the prininting via the PDF print option. The print option is determined by the printMode property of the viewer. The default should be PDF but if you want to ensure that it always uses PDF you can set the following code using our API: crystalReportPageViewer.setPrintMode(CrPrintMode.PDF);If you are using the Tag Libraries you should set the property printMode equal to PDF.Hopefully, in a future release we can look at adding in a "pure" print option again.

How to Print Crystal Report without any dialog message on the client side

Hi!
I've read too much questions like this, but i can't find any answer.
How can i print a report on the client side directly?
I have three buttons, "Generate Report", "Generate PDF", "Print".
I want when the "Print" button was clicked, automaticaly the report is printed using default printer, like PrintToPrinter function, but in the client side.
Thanks!

If you search for previous posts about this, you will see many posts saying not possible. If this functionality was possible, you could essentially have a page that would send something to a clients printer just by visiting the page, how bad of security hole would that be?

Java Thick Client Parameter bug

Hi Sean,
The Crystal Report for Eclipse is looking awsome but you provided more functionalities for web development partial with standalone application's
Also I think you have removed the dependency of CRCONFIG.xml for Java Thick Client(Stand Alone) ,so I think i dont need to place the CRCONFIG.xml in class path ,so its very nice.
Presently I am using the latest jars provided in crystal report for eclipse.Prior to this I was using jars from ftp1.businessobjects.com/outgoing/ehf/CE/XI/JRCPatch.zip
In that version of jars if my report XYZ.rpt has some paremeters and if i dont set the parameter values then the JAVA THICK CLIENT(REportViewerFrame) used to provide me a dialog in which i can padd the parameter for the report.
Noe in the latest version of jars provided in eclipse the JAVA THICK CLIENT does not show the dialog nor does it opens the report instead it logs as
"Some parameters are missing values"
I dont know if I am missing something.
Please guide on this.
Also I want to ask that the Printing/Viewing issue has been fixed for Java Thick Client I had report about this few months back.
We are very excited to use the Crystal Reports for Java but the (Java Thick Clinet)so Please help us we want to get rid of native code.
Thanks,
Debraj.

Hi Debraj, Providing more thick-client support is definitely an area we will look at resolving in the next release of CR4E. In the meantime you may find the following whitepaper useful:<a href="/node/321">http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/321</a>This will explain the necessary steps to create a thick-client application using CR4E. It sounds like your JAR files may be out of synch. We use the thick-client viewer for our Preview tab in the CR4E designer so you should notice pretty much exactly the same behaviour in your application.

Report Mode : CHARACTER.
I am running report through oracle10g from in browser based environment from client machine.
My application server running that form. My code is following for setting the report destination type:

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(REP_ID,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
ELSIF :B01.S_REPORT_TO = 'P' THEN

Print a report from Application Express direct to a CUPS Printer

Hi all, I'm new to this technology, is it possible to print a report from Application Express directly to a CUPS Printer? Can someone tell me in laymans terms how to do it? I find the terminology and documentation less than helpful.

Jeremy,
BI Publisher handles submitting reports directly to a CUPS printer. However, the APEX integration doesn't currently integrate with that portion of BI Publisher.
Here's an options:
Use the Java API of BI Publisher to build a custom Java program that would do this for you. Delivering to CUPS is part of the Java API.

Can you give me the sample coding to directly print out the report from java application by passing parameter?Thanks,Hui Bee

There is a Consulting Solution called BOInterface that Business Objects Global Services sells and that helps you to achieve what you describe very easily.
A description is <a href="http://www.mnsoft.org/bointerface0.0.html">here</a>.
Particularly, see the <a href="http://www.mnsoft.org/boxinterfacedocs/com/bo/boxinterface/boreport/scheduler/BOReportSchedulerPrinter.html">BOReportSchedulerPrinter</a>. BOInterface comes with a complete example on scheduling to printer; that example can even itself be scheduled.

How to print the report directly without previewing (report viewer) using c# windows application

Hi,
Currently, we are using crystal report to all of our reporting applications, but since I/users have encountered some issues about CR's speed to load only a simple report, maybe it is now time for us to adopt a new reporting environment in which I think SSRS
can fill this problem.
To start with, I have here a sample code, that uses the crystal report to print the report directly without previewing:
csCashInvoiceCal csCashCal; --Crystal report name .rpt
dsCsReceipt dsCs; --created dataset
DataTable u;
DataRow s;
private System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument printDocument1;
private System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog printDialog1;
ParameterValues paramValue;
ParameterDiscreteValue discreteValue;
ParameterFieldDefinition fieldDefinition;
private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
loadReceipt2();
print2();
csCashCal.Close();
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
private void loadReceipt2()
dsCs = new dsCsReceipt(); --created dataset
u = dsCs.Tables.Add("DtCsReceipt");
u.Columns.Add("Qty", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("UOM", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Description", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("UnitPrice", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Discount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Amount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
try
for (int i = 0; i < dgvDesc.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
s = u.NewRow(); double.TryParse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Discount2.Name].Value.ToString(), out discount);
s["Qty"] = double.Parse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Qty.Name].Value.ToString());
s["UOM"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Uom2.Name].Value.ToString();
s["Description"] = invcode + dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Description.Name].Value.ToString();
s["UnitPrice"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[UnitPrice.Name].Value.ToString();
if (discount != 0)
s["Discount"] = "(" + string.Format("{0:0.##}", discount) + "%)";
else
s["Discount"] = "";
s["Amount"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Amount2.Name].Value.ToString();
u.Rows.Add(s);
catch (Exception) { }
csCashCal = new csCashInvoiceCal();
csCashCal.SetDataSource(dsCs.Tables[1]);
//csCashCal.Refresh();
loadParameter2();
private void loadParameter2()
ParameterFieldDefinitions paramFieldDefinitions;
paramValue = new ParameterValues();
discreteValue = new ParameterDiscreteValue();
paramFieldDefinitions = csCashCal.DataDefinition.ParameterFields;
discreteValue.Value = date;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["Date"];
commonParam();
discreteValue.Value = txtcsno.Text;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["InvoiceNo"];
commonParam();
discreteValue.Value = txtNameTo.Text;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["CustomerName"];
commonParam();
discreteValue.Value = txtAdd.Text;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["CustomerAddress"];
commonParam();
------other parameters----
private void commonParam()
paramValue.Clear();
paramValue.Add(discreteValue);
fieldDefinition.ApplyCurrentValues(paramValue);
private void print2()
using (printDocument1 = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument())
using (this.printDialog1 = new PrintDialog())
//this.printDialog1.UseEXDialog = true;
this.printDialog1.Document = this.printDocument1;
DialogResult dr = this.printDialog1.ShowDialog();
if (dr == DialogResult.OK)
int nCopy = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.Copies;
int sPage = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.FromPage;
int ePage = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.ToPage;
string PrinterName = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName;
try
csCashCal.PrintOptions.PrinterName = PrinterName;
csCashCal.PrintToPrinter(nCopy, false, sPage, ePage);
printcount++;
//saveCountPrint();
catch (Exception err)
MessageBox.Show(err.ToString());
This is only a simple sales receipt application that uses dgv and textboxes to push its data to dataset to the crystal report, a simple one but there are instances that it is very slow.
But I'm having trouble implementing this using SSRS, since I'm only new to this one, wherein I created the report using report wizard, with two button options inside the form for print preview or direct print selection. Actually, it is very easy to implement
with print preview because it uses reportviewer. My problem is that how can I print the report directly without using a reportviewer?
So here is my code so far which I don't know what's next:
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
loadReceipt3();
//print3();
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
ReportParameter[] parameter = new ReportParameter[11];
private void loadParameter3()
parameter[0] = new ReportParameter("InvoiceNo", txtcsno.Text);
parameter[1] = new ReportParameter("Date", date);
parameter[2] = new ReportParameter("CustomerTin", txtTin.Text);
parameter[3] = new ReportParameter("CustomerName", txtNameTo.Text);
parameter[4] = new ReportParameter("CustomerAddress", txtAdd.Text);
parameter[5] = new ReportParameter("Agent", agent);
parameter[6] = new ReportParameter("Discount", "Discount: ");
parameter[7] = new ReportParameter("TotalDiscount", lblDiscount.Text + "%");
parameter[8] = new ReportParameter("TotalSales", rdtotal);
parameter[9] = new ReportParameter("Tax", rdtax);
parameter[10] = new ReportParameter("TotalAmount", rdnet);
private void loadReceipt3()
DataSet dsrs = new DataSet();
DataTable dtrs = new DataTable();
DataRow drs;
dtrs.Columns.Add("Qty", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("UOM", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Description", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("UnitPrice", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Discount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Amount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
try
for (int i = 0; i < dgvDesc.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
drs = dtrs.NewRow();
drs["Qty"] = double.Parse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Qty.Name].Value.ToString());
drs["UOM"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Uom2.Name].Value.ToString();
drs["Description"] = invcode + dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Description.Name].Value.ToString();
drs["UnitPrice"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[UnitPrice.Name].Value.ToString();
if (discount != 0)
drs["Discount"] = "(" + string.Format("{0:0.##}", discount) + "%)";
else
drs["Discount"] = "";
drs["Amount"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Amount2.Name].Value.ToString();
dtrs.Rows.Add(s);
catch (Exception) { }
int addtlRow = 7;
if (addtlRow > (count - 1))
addtlRow = addtlRow - (count - 1);
for (int i = 0; i < addtlRow; i++)
dtrs.Rows.Add();
loadParameter3();
LocalReport localreport = new LocalReport();
localreport.SetParameters(parameter);
localreport.DataSources.Clear();
localreport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("dsSalesReceiptSsrs", dtrs));
localreport.Refresh();
//what's next....
So what's next after local..refresh()? Actually, I have googled a lot but I didn't found the exact solution that I'm looking for which confuses me a lot.
Anyway I'm using VS 2010 with sql server 2012 express.
You're help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Hardz

After some further studies with ReportViewer controls and with the use of this tutorial @ : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252091.aspx, which helps me a lot on how to print a report without using a report viewer, I found out what is missing
