Crystal Reports 11 - Can't double click on report

I have Crystal Reports 11 install. When I try and double click on a report I get the message "This action is only valid for applications that have been installed". I can open the report via the CR11 File Open menu though. Any idea on how I can fix it so I can open the report by double-clicking on it?

Hi Chris,
Try these following steps,
1. Go to the Control Programs, Add/Remove Programs.
2. Click on Crystal Reports and Click on the Change Button.
3. The Crystal Reports XI Setup Window will get open. Choose modify and click on the Next Button.
4. Choose the feature from the left side of the window that are grayed out and that you need to update/install on the machine.
5. Left click on to that and choose to install those features on to your machine.
6. Click Next and after all the components are installed/Updated, reboot the machine.
Hope this resolves your issue.

Can i inactivate a sub report?

Hi,
I'm using sub reports in a principal report.
When the final user see's the report, he can clic on the sub report witch will show in a second page.
I would like to disalbe this action, is it possible?
If not do you know a trick to prevent it?
For know, i place a label on top of the sub report. like that, if the user click on the sub report, the clic will fall on the label and not on the sub report. the limit of this issue is that many of my sub report grow depending on it's containt. In this case, the label doesn't protect any more the sub report.
I'm using Crystal Report (Basic, version 10) that works with Microsoft Visual Studio.

Hello, Helen;
The method to stop drilldown has a wide scope. It will stop the drilldown on the subreport but it will also stop any other drilldown you may have designed. Groups for example.
In code, use the Crystal Reports Viewer object:
CrystalReportViewer1.EnableDrilldown = False
'Set the viewer to the report to be previewed
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument

Output of report to control file

Hi all,
I have to show my report output into 2 formats one is csv format and another is ctl file.
For this I am using FND_SUBMIT.SET_REQUEST_SET in after report trigger of my report.
For first output type I am submitting XML program to get csv output.
After this my second progrm output type has to be control file, in this control file I have to show the Total sum of amount which is generated in first program that is csv format. How can I achieve this?
How can I get output of report in control file?
Could you help me in this?
Thanks in advance

You may have an additional layout for the .ctl file. That is a new set of frames and fields that gives you the .ctl file, without querrying again.
As for the after report trigger, it would be best not to use it. It is obsoleted.

Can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BW Bex Query

Hi Gurus,
I am aware BEX queries can access NearLine Storage data for reporting but can Business Objects Web Intelligency reports access NearLine Storage data Via BICS connection ( Bex Query as a Source).
Thanks,
Shak.

I would recommend to let your SAP Basis guys do a security trace on the SAP BW side and see if some authorization check for the user fails when trying to fetch data over the universe.

Can we save the result of report 1 as a filter and use it in 2nd report?

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.

Chanaka

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1.     New Report
2.     From Create New Connection-> XML
3.     Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4.     Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
        CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

How to bring output of report on smartform

Hi experts,
I want to display output of one std report on the smartform. Output of the Z report is using large no. of write statements. I want to create one smartform which displays output same as the output of report.
Is it possible to directly bring output of report on smartform??
Please give me solution
Thanks
Sameer

Hi,
To The best of my knowledge it is not possible directly.
You have to design the smartform with all the fields in the report.
And u have create the driver program for the Smartform or u can use the report as a driver program itself.
Then Call the smartform using FM SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME to call the smartform.

Can we use xml Publisher reporting for sql* Plus in EBS

Hello All,
The current report is designed in Sql* Plus Executable report and the output is in txt format, Now the requirement is to have the output in Excel format.
So is it possible to use the xml reporting and make the output as Excel from the word template we design from MSword as we do for rdf(I have done few reports created in rdf to xml publisher reports in EBS and stand alone as well.).
Do the same procedure will suit for Sql*Plus reports tooo or Is there any work around to achieve this.
Thanks and Regards
Balaji.

Hi
Thanks for the reply..
I tried to do the follwoing
1. changed the output to xml in the conc. prog.
2. ran the same report but i am getting the follwoing error in the output file
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource
Other reports which are using the Oracle Reports(rdf) as source, i am able to generated the xml as expected....
So my question is whether we can use sql* reports executable and generate xml in the conc.prog.
if any one has used the sql*reports for xml publisher reporting... please let me know, so that if its possible i will check my sql needs some validation or tuning...
thanks in advance

When output SSRS report to Excel, Plus sign was moved to the far left pane in Excel. How to fix it?

Hi there:
I've created a SSRS report and looks good inside Report Manager, See below . plus "+" is in the right place and
if I click it, it will expand.
However, when I output results into excel, it becomes this, notice those plus sign "+" have been shifted to the far left and they are
not line up with each month either... Is there any way to fix in the excel so that users could see exactly what they see in the Report Manger?
Thanks

Hi cat_ca,
Microsoft Excel has limitations with how it manages hidden and displayed report items when they are exported. When we export a report to Microsoft Excel format, groups, rows, and columns that contain report items that can be toggled are rendered as Excel
outlines. Excel creates outlines that expand and collapse rows and columns across the entire row or column which can cause the collapse of report items that are not intended to be collapsed. This is by design. For more information about this, please see Show
and Hide section in the link below:

Thank you for your understanding.

Problem: Bar Codes Font Embed in PDF Report

Hi folks.
I'm having a few problems with Reports 9i.
Fact: Oracle 9iAS Release 2 with Red Hat Linux 7.3
I'm trying to print a PDF report that uses a Type 1 Barcode Font (X317349A) using the new PDF EMBED feature of Reports Server 9i.
Following the doc:210318.1 of Metalink i did the following things:
- Put the X317349A.afm, X317349A.pfa and X317349A.pfb in the $ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo
- Put the myreport.rdf in the $ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo.
- Put the the following line in section [ PDF:Embed ] of uifont.ali file:
X317349A = "X317349A.afm X317349A.pfa"
This fonts works with a sequence of "w" and "n" to form the bar code, and acrobat reader is showing just w and n sequence instead of the bar codes.
Does anybody have a suggestion of what else can i do??
Thank you all.

Hello,
First, generate an output with DESFORMAT=HTML and check the font name used in the output.
Then, check that the file QUICASB_.TTF exists in a directory of REPORTS_PATH (take care to the case sensitivity on UNIX)
Check that the file uifont.ali is ok (use the utilty mfontchk)
Check the "precedence" in the file uifont.ali
See the comment in the file uifont.ali itself :

Report Designer - Error while opening a saved report

Hi,
I am not sure if this is an authorization issue or configuration issue.
When I try to open a saved report on Report designer, I keeping getting an error: Report Version is invalid: "0".
Has anybody faced similar problem?
We are on SP09.
Regards,
Payal.

Payal,
I am afraid, that your report might be corrupted. This might have happened, if in tx SE16 the version is changed. The Report XML displayed in SE16 for table RSERDATA, is limited to ca. 1024 charachters. When editing the version, after pressing the save button, the Report XML is cut off at 1024 charachters and the report is lost.
Please do not set the report version in tx SE16!
I will need to configure the program RS_REPORT_MAINTAIN, such that reports with version "0" can be saved with the minimum version 9.0.
Until then I recommend the following procedure for Reports that are ok, but have the Version "0" bug:
1) in tx SE38, program: RS_REPORT_MAINTAIN
    open your report with option "DT" (designtime)
2) Switch to Edit mode.
    Make a backup copy of the report using the "Save As" Button.
    You can copy the Report XML to the clipboard using Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C
3a) Open a dummy report in RS_REPORT_MAINTAIN created previously with
      Report Desginer ( --> The version is set to 9.0).
      Switch to edit mode and paste the Report XML and Save.
or
3b) Debug FUNCTION rs_bex_report_load_rfc.
      Open a report and change the value of E_REPORT_VERSION to "9.0"
      before leaving the function.
Hope this helps, karim
P.S.
I will update note 1016224
