Renaming a report title

Post Author: saman700
CA Forum: .NET
Hi experts,
I need to deploy some report files to the BO server but before, I need to find out if any report with the same title already exists inside the server and if there's any, i need to rename it's title (the old report's title)  so that I don't overwrite it. (rename it to something like report_bckup. Manually, I have to open CMC, go to folder, choose the folder I am about to deploy my report files too and look to see if a report with the same title exists. In case it exists, I need to change thte title and update the report.
Is there anyway that I can change the report title throuhg program. I saw that I can do it by myReportDocument.Summaryinfo.ReportTitle but I need to load the report first and to do it, I need to give it the report path which i am unable to find out. I saw that myReport.ReportFileName might do it but I can't get it to work. I know how to Add or Delete reports but is there a way to rename a report's title that is in BO server with SDK? Thanks

Hi gainesvillepratt,
After testing the issue in my local environment, we should add a textbox with title value above the matrix. Changing the Width of textbox with the same size as the rendered the matrix Width (Row Groups area width + Column Groups area width * the number of
columns in column group), then setting the TextAlign property to Center in the Properties Windows pane. Thus we can achieve your requirement.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

  • How to display the sort value in the selection screen in the report title

    Dear All,
    How to display the sort value in the selection screen in the report title? I have selected a value in the selection screen for sorting , but i need that values by which i have sorted with in the report title. Can you please throw some light on this!!
    Good day,
    Thanks and regards

    Hi Arun,
    Try this.
    1, Set one dynamic parameter,
    2, Drag and drop that parameter into  your report title.
    3, Pass the value(sort value) dynamically from your application,
    4, Cheers..
    Other wise Try with Dataset, create a dataset and fill thev alue into that.. Then  set the data source from CR designer. and darg and drop that data column into the report.
    Hope this will work,
    Regards,

  • Duplicate report title for every date where records are found in date range

    Hi,
    I have a developed a report that lists multiple entries by date range with a page break separating each date. What I would like to include now is a report title which only appears once for each date, and separated by page break.
    Example:
    (Business Unit)
    (Address)
    (Report Title)
    (Date)
    Entry 1
    Entry 2
    Entry 3
    Entry 4
    Entry 5
    Entry 6
    Entry 7
    (Business Unit)
    (Address)
    (Report Title)
    (Date)Entry 1

    Hi Camelbak2113,
    According to your description, it seems that you want to eliminate the duplicate report title for every date. If in this scenario, I suggest that we can try to add a group grouped on date range, and then add a child group grouped on report title. Then add
    page breaks between each instance of date range group.
    If I have something misunderstood, please provide us more information about the report. Such as provide us some screenshots about the report with sample data. So that we can make further analysis and help you out.
    Thanks,

  • Display Report Title line in Printer Queue Again

    Post Author: ShowMeTheName
    CA Forum: General
    Hello, this is my question:
    How can I get our Crystal Reports XI printed from our VB application to show again the line u201CCrystal Reports + The Report Titleu201D in the printer queue?
    We first started generating reports with Visual Studio 2003 and Crystal Reports for VB.Net.  Months later, we upgraded to Crystal Reports XI Developers Edition. 
    When we built our application in VB and CR for VB.Net (v.9?) and printed reports from it, they showed the Crystal Reports line with the report title in the printer spooler.  Now that we upgraded to CR XI DE and compiled our program, the reports only show the line u2018Documentu2019 in the printer spooler.  The report title is gone.
    Does anyone know how to get that report title back?  If we open a report in the Crystal Reports program and we print it from there, we do get that line u201CCrystal Reports u201C and the Report Title in the printer spooler.  However, when we print the same reports from our VB application (and whatever upgrades installed by CR XI), the report title is replaced by a very annoying u2018documentu2019 word.
    We need the report title to show in the printer queue to distinguish our reports. 
    In our VB app, we open the reports as a new ReportDocument and then we print them with the PrintToPrinter code.
    Has anyone else had the same problem? Do you guys think that if we replaced the new report references with the original version will do the trick?
    We donu2019t want to change or eliminate the u201CCrystal Reportsu201D words because I know we canu2019t. What we want is that line back so it can show the report title.  I certainly like that line better than the u201Cdocumentu201D one we get now.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Report Title and Text Area issue when exported to pdf using Viewer

    Hi there,
    We are using OracleBI Discoverer Version 10.1.2.55.26
    We have reports that displays Report title containing the following
    - Report Title
    - Runt Date and Time
    - Page No
    And text area which displays 'Last Page'
    Following properties are set at the worksheet level using page setup
    Report Title --> 'Print on every Page'
    Text Area --> 'Print on last page'
    The report when exported to PDF using Discoverer plus works fine and displays report title and text area as defeined.
    But when we try to export the same report to pdf from Discoverer viewer, it displays
    - Report title on first page only.
    - text area on all pages
    All our users accesses report using discoverer viewer so we cannot open discoverer plus to them.
    Is there a solution which will enable us to export the report in pdf using discoverer viewer and displays the same output as discoverer plus.
    Please let me know... If you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
    Thanks in advance for your help...

    but when opened on other os x machines some text is colored differently than it should be
    Well, if typographic objects are colour managed, the colour appearance is dependent on the source ICC profile that describes the colourants in the typographic objects and the destination ICC profile that describes the colours the display is able to form and the RBC colourant combinations that will form those colours.
    In general, typographic objects should have special treatment, since the expectation is not that typographic objects should be colour managed, but that typographic objects should simple be set to the maximum density of dark. On a display, that is R=0 G=0 B=0 and on a seperations device (a lithographic press) that is C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100.
    If for some reason typographic objects are colour managed, and if the ICC profiles for the displays are off by half a mile or more in relation to the actual state of the display system, then the colours will not be the same. On the other hand, if those displays are calibrated and characterized, then the colourants will be converted to form the same colours on the displays.

  • Local timestamp in report title

    Hi
    When i print a discoverer report, the timestamp on the report title(&Datee &Time) is the server time.
    My client is 6 hours seperated from the server.
    Is it possible to change the timestamp based on the user locale?
    I have an Apps mode EUL with Disco 10.1.2.2
    Thanks
    Ariv

    Hi Ariv,
    Its a good question which i have never done,but will give a try it.
    Is it possible to change the timestamp based on the user locale?There is a function in the PL/SQL and Discoverer date function named new_time and the syntax is as follows
    new_time( date, zone1, zone2 )
    Here zone1 and zone2 would be like GMT(greenwich mean time),EST(eastern standard time) and so on.I can give an example on how to go about it.Firstly do a calculation by taking this function it would be something like this
    new_time (to_date ('2003/11/01 01:45', 'yyyy/mm/dd HH24:MI'), 'GMT', 'EST')
    and disable this calculation by unckecking it.In Title section just call it as Timestamp:&calculation1 ,here calculation1 refers to the calculation i asked you to do above.
    Hope this helps you.
    Best Wishes,
    Kranthi.

  • Change the report title to more meaningful title? How to achieve it?

    Hi Guys,
    We have some BI reports which the users runs from BEx analyser. Currently the report title shows the names of the reports. For example a Sales by products reports has the title SALES BY PRODUCT REPORTING.
    What we want to do is these reports have selection screen and based on what the user selects on the selection screen we want the report title to be more meaningful. For example if the report is run for the period 1 and company code ABC selected on the selection screen then the report title must show SALES BY PRODUCT FOR PERIOD 1 AND COMPANY CODE ABC.
    My questions is how to show the variable in the report title? I am new to BI and need help on the same. We are on 7.1 version of BI.
    Cheers
    VJ

    Hi,
    We have done the same but in my case the input Month will display.
    Eg: We have MM reports which will run Period wise, so user wil give 001.2009, in the report title it will display...
    Stocks report for 001.2009.
    Using Text Variable we can do it.
    Steps;
    1. Create a Text Variable with Customer Exit option.
    2. Take the user input value and pass into Custome exit Variable.
    For Sample Code, you can see one blog and some Articles.
    https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/Surendra+Reddy
    See the blog "Using Text Variables with Customer Exits in Report Headings" and see Customet Exit articles..
    WHEN 'ZT_C'.   " ZT_C = Text variable with customer Exit
        IF i_step = 2.
          LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO loc_var_range WHERE vnam = 'ZMONTH'.  " ZMONTH = User input variable on 0CALMONTH
            IF sy-subrc = 0.
              CLEAR: l_s_range.
              zsmy = loc_var_range-low.
              zemy = loc_var_range-high.
              zsmnth = zsmy+4(2).
              zemnth = zemy+4(2).
              zfyear1 = zsmy+0(4).
              zfyear2 = zemy+0(4).
              CONCATENATE zsmnth '.' zfyear1 INTO zsmnyr.
              CONCATENATE zemnth '.' zfyear2 INTO zemnyr.
              l_s_range-low+0(7) = zsmnyr.
              l_s_range-low+9(2) = 'To'.
              l_s_range-low+13(7) = zemnyr.
              l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
              l_s_range-opt = 'BT'.
              APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
            ENDIF.
          ENDLOOP.
        ENDIF.
    Thanks

    You need to put your title in the page header if you want it to appear on every page.  The report header only displays once per report.

  • How to add a filter/selection into the report title?

    Hi experts,
    Currently I try to fugure out how to set up a field into the page header (title) of a report in order to dynamically adapt the title to selected filter criteria. I tried to use the Reprot Filter Summary, but since I do have several sheets in my reports the information given through it is not applicable.
    What I would like to achieve is that the end user can select e.g. a category X and Y and the title says: "Report title - categories: X,Y" Somthg like this. I'd appreciate any tips.
    Best regards

    Hi guys,
    thanks so far. I managed to show prompts in the report. But still my problem is nor 100% solved
    I would like t achieve that the filtered criteria in the report title is separated through a comma like in the report filter summary - e.g.: {001, 002, 003, 004} followed by just 1chart/table that is including the whole information.
    When I however just drag a variable into the report it automatically created different sections, right? Like ........ table, chart, whatever... .......table chart whatever........

  • Using Standard Text Variables for FYPERIOD in Report Title ?

    Hi,
    We have a requirement where the user input the variable 0fiscper to the query (001.2010). How to get the text value of that variable in the query description in the bex query ?
    For example user input, 008.2010. We need to get "Aug 2010 Sales values " where Sales values will be the report text. I want to get Aug (month) and year (2010) before the report title. I have searched in google and sdn and could not find any link, but found a doc for the column header text using the same variable. I have tried the same procedure and its just display the zvariable name and Sales value's instead of the label. Please advise.
    Thanks
    DR

    You can create a Text variable with replacement path of Fiscper as reference char. Select Key in details tab of replacing variable.
    If you are just getting technical name, then it is understood that it is not getting replaced.

  • Change "document" to report title in print queue

    Post Author: mroy
    CA Forum: .NET
    When printing from Crystal Reports to a printer, in the print queue, the Document Name is "Crystal Reports - " and the report title.
    When printing using ReportDocument in Visual Basic .NET program to a printer, the Document name is "document".
    Is there a way to change "document" to the report title in code?

    Post Author: Argan

    You can only do it using RAS I believe by using the PrintReportOptions objects JobTitle property.
    This is only available using Enterprise or CR XI R2 SP2.
