Report Designer change color

I created a report using Report Designer and would like to change color of the field base on the data criteria.
I want to add code using Report Function, but I am not sure how to enter code there and which language I can use.
Can you please advise me a example how to do the task?
Your help and information is great appreciated,
Regards,
Iccsi

Hi,
it's a setting...
just select the section you want to change to another place, and then select the tabpage "properties"
There you have an option : 'position'
The first section in your report (top of page) has position 1, the second position 2...
So if you want to swap the last section to the first place, just change the position to 1...
Ciao!

Discoverer Report View - Change color?

Any idea how to change the blah color of the Cross-Tab report viewer to some other color or at least a lighter color?

Bex Report Designer is not previewing changes in QA

Hi All,
Please help... i am getting an unusual problem with bex report designer. I have created a bex report using report designer. This was then transported in to QA. In QA i opened my created report using report designer and clicked the print version button to preview the report in PDF format. This all worked correclty, however i noticed a spelling mistake in one of the custom text fields i am using.
So i put the report in a transport in dev, made the changes in dev and previewed in dev. Everything is ok here and i can see the change i made.
After this i transported the report to QA and when i open the report in report designer to preview the data i can see in design mode that the custom text field does HAVE the change i made so it is correct. The problem i am getting is though when i preview to see in PDF format the image i get is of the old preview with the spelling mistake.
SInce i have made more changes and i can see the changes in DEV and in QA in design mode but when i preview it shows me the old image from the 1st preview.
Please can anyone shed any light into this issue.
Kind regards

Dear all,
we intent to use BW Report Designer and want to insert page breaks between group level changes
so that we get one page per item of a group (as it is possible in Crystal reports).
Example:
Sales organization is listed in column 1 of our query - we need one page per item -
page 1 - Sales organization 100
page 2 - Sales organization 200
Concerning to the online documentation it should be possible, but we can't find this functionality
within the BW Report designer.
Could anybody assist us?
Thanks

Page Breaks in Report Designer

Change color on Report Painter

Dear gurus.
Pls give idear about Report painter.
Now I am making comparson report between planned data and
actual data on report painter in order to check variance between them.
Column1: Planned data
Column2: Actual data
Column3: Variance between Column1 and 2
Then, I want to change the font color of Column3 only in
case that the variance over the criteria such as 10,000 $.
Do you know how to do it on report painter?
I don't care whether "Change color" or "make font Bold" or "Font blinking".
My purpose is to give warning to report's readers which record
they have to read carefully.

Dear Sadashivan
Thanks for your info.
I tried the way you mentioned.
However, the thing I want to do is not to change the font color of specified column.
The thing I want to do is to setup the threshhold such as percentage or amount
and emphasize the data which over the threshhold by changing the color
automatically.
Thanks anyway.

How to change colors of designs

I would love to be able to change colors of designs I make in Printshop. On my PC I could just highlight an object and choose a color and change it. The Mac is supposed to be the great "artistic" machine, yet it can't seem to do half the stuff my PC does and did for free. I was told to buy Photoshop which is hundreds of dollars. I don't need to do all that it offers, just need to change colors of a logo I've designed. Is there any way to do this on a Mac or do I need to go back to using my PC for graphic design projects?
Annette

You can't expect everything to be thrown in there, especially for free. Beyond the basics, pretty much anything else would have a personal preference aspect to it.
GraphicConverter is one of the few commercial applications I have - definitely worth the money.
For something free, there is also Gimp.

Is it possible to set a "query in change mode" with the Report Designer 7.x

Hi,
I have a query set in "change mode" with an index set as "data can be changed using user entries or planning funcionts".
If I use this query as a "Data Provider" in the Report Designer, the result is still in "change mode" or a result of the Report Designer is only a static image?
Thank's,
Valentina.

Hi Deepu,
I had suspected this...
Thank you very much!

Reporting: Change Color on Prompt fields

I need to know if we can change color options for prompt fields?
Thanks,
Rick

Regarding prompt feild no idea.
We can change the colour of that data which comes after prompting parameter.
I mean you have created a parameter Country then you can change the colour of field based on parameter by writing formula.
Right click on field-> Format field->Font tab->on color clik on X-2
write formula if {?My parameter}="USA" then red
Have a look to Sample reports:

Changes not reflecting in Report designer after Transports

Hi,
I have made some changes to a Report in the report designer and transported it to Quality and Acceptance systems. But the changes are reflecting in Quality system not in Acceptance server. In Acceptance sever the changes are seen in the report physically but when i execute the report i still see the old format. I tried transporting the request again to the system but no luck.
Cleared the Cache in Acceptance still no luck. Also regenerated the base query in RSRT and no effect on the report. Any idea?
Thanks,
Praveen

Hi Praveen,
Make sure you have collected all the objects of the report.
You may check this in (development) RSA1->Transport Connection. Select that report and see if any objects are still not under $TMP or under any other Package and not got collected in your previous TR.

9iDS Release 2 Report Designer Crashes

I have had numerous crashes over the past few weeks using this tool. As a background, I now have about 25 reports. Sometimes, I go into each one and "tweak" the report to change parameter sizes, layout, footer, etc. I "hand" edit some of these because I never seem to be able to re-load the template without some error. I don't know the tool very well, but, it's got a lot of great features. If it didn't crash or hang, numerous times, it would be great. One morning, recently, I was trying to update all the reports (22 of them) and print a sample page for my customer. I was ensuring the logo was the right one, the page footer was right, etc. I recieved no less than 10 crashes, forcing a restart of the tool each time. Needless to say, I wasted a lot of time doing that and wasn't able to go through all 22 reports I am running under Windows 2000 SP2 (and also under Windows XP Pro, SP1). This is both before and after applying 9.0.2.0.4 patch. Note, now that I know how to create templates, the logo, footer, etc issues are really not the problem, rather the crashes.
Sorry for the long list here in one message, but it seems to be large pattern and can be frustrating at times.
Template "Reapplication" issues:
1) Reapplying self-made template after only changing font and font size in template to make it smaller: I get a "No column is selected in group 'my group name'. Each report produces a different result, but that's the error message -- actually, I just tested this again. I don't even have to try to open re-apply the template specifically. I open the report wizard and click finish and get this, no matter what I do in the wizard. Is that the only way to reapply the template (especially, since I only want to get the font changes and color changes).
2) Clicking OK to the above error OFTEN (most of the time), produces "Instruction at 0x64e39295 referenced memory at 0x8b501045. The memory could not be read. In some cases, this happens after I select cancel in the reports wizard, when I received the error #1 above.
Because I don't understand problem #1 very well and because I frequently receive error #2, I end up opening the "old" report, copying the SQL query, closing the "old" report and generating a new report, using the template and then re-sizing the columns of the report. If someone could help with #1, that would be most helpful. That may or may not prevent the errors below. Most of my reports are "paper and web layout" and "group left" with 2 or 3 levels of groups, if that makes a difference. Also, all of my queries have lexical parameter "where_clause", allowing dynamic augmenting of where_clause.
3) The pattern of operations is: open old report, Grab SQL, close old report, generate new report via reports wizard, make report look right (fix column widths, make count columns right justified and displayed with "0,0" formatting, insert bookmarks, update user_parameter where_clause (see below) to be 4,000 characters). Save as and pick old name, when complete, save report, close report and open next report. I get through 2, 3 or 4 reports and then I get a crash. There are a two errors that I consistently see:
a) During open of report: XML Parser failure, then the crash
b) Unable to load string resource, then crash.
c) During close of report, The instruction at 0x64af3d4f referenced memory at 0x00001f55. The memory could not be read.
4) the template has user parameter defined "where_clause" 4,000 characters. I thought the template would supply that, but every time the reports wizard takes my query with the &where_clause, it resets the parameter size to 40 characters. I think that's because I'm seeing the message: Note: the query Q_1 has created the lexical parameter(s) 'where_clause', and I think that's overriding my template because at this point in the wizard I haven't even picked my template.
5) Alt-tabbing away from Reports back and forth (while creating this message, in fact), I have received the following twice while in reports wizard, after getting the exact text of the lexical parameter dialog mentioned above. The error: "The instruction 0x65134268 referenced memory at 0x00000044. The memory could not be read.
I hope these issues will be resolved in the near future. This is a great reporting tool, but with these kinds of errors, it's frustrating to use.
Regards,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Issue #1 occurs because of the report wizard. When you need to make a change, not the entire report, you should not use the wizard, use the Layout editor instead, in your case you can open the report design in the layout editor to change the font size/color of the fields then run the report and save it.
The wizard, when invoked, will start the whole new report design and expect new selections for the design, in your case, it expects you to select the fields to be displayed in the group(s) again, that is why you got the error, and I belive this error is the cause to other errors. You can test to see in the wizard, after you apply the new template don't click Finish yet, but go to the Group and Field tabs you will see . Even after you select the fields for the group when you run you will see that the report has new layout which looks completely different from the previous layout.
Good luck.

Report Designer and Query Designer in BI 7.0

Hi friends,
      what is the use of Report Designer and Query Designer.. and what is the difference between these two..
    I know about Analyser... that is used for designing a query and we can analyse (or) see the result of that query in that window....
     then what is the use of Query Designer... can you give me the brief introduction abt that... if any documents plz farword to me..
my mail id--- [email protected]
thanks
@jay

Hi Ajay,
Report Designer is a newly added feature in BI 7. This helps to do cosmetic changes to the report, change the fonts, add colors etc. Please check this link for more info on Report designer.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/17/16d941de405f24e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Query Designer, is where you develop, edit your queries.
Analyzer, is where you execute the query and analyze the results.
Hope this helps.

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

Viewing Report created in Crystal Report Designer

Hi,I'm new to CR4E and tries to work with existing report. I saw many error while trying this, please excuse me to the long email below that I explain all the errors I saw......I have some reports that were created in Crystal Report Designer (CR XI Release 2) connecting to the Oracle Database using "Oracle Server" type connection. How can I access it from CR4E? I have the following problem (in the order I see them)1) In the Eclipse's JSP page, I specified the full path to the report, but I get a report not found error. Must the report locate within the project? Is there any way we can open a report outside of the project?2) I copied the report to the project, a) followed jrc_print_report example to print the report, get "JNDI name not found" error. b) then generate a viewer page, but I get the Driver "crdb_oracle.dll" is not supported error.3) I setup the new JNDI followed the jrc_changedatasource.jsp example to change the datasource, but I still get the "JNDI name not found" error.4) I imported the report intoEclipse and changed the connection. Then I can create a jsp page to print it to a printer (I still can't view it, but my goal is to print, so that's ok). However, a) the original report has a "Command" object from the Oracle database to control where to select the report's data, when I remap, this object disappear and I cannot see how to recreate it. Any suggestion? b) also, the report is very complex with many subreports and it will be nightmare to go in and change all of the datasource, also a maintenance nightmare to maintain two copies. Any better suggestions?Thank you very much! Your help is very appreciated.Celia

Hi Celia
1. Yes the Java Reporting Component (JRC) which is the runtime component of the Crystal Reports for Eclipse can open reports outside the project.Â Â Its often better to have the reports inside the project for deployment purposes but you are welcome to put the report where ever you need it.Â
Note: To use absolute paths, ensure that the CRConfig.xml file does not contain a reportlocation tag.
2. The JRC can't report off of Oracle directly, you would need to use a JDBC driver to connect your reports to Oracle.Â The crdb_oracle.dll will never connect because its not Java.Â
3. When the JRC finds that the report is not using a supported database driverÂ it will do a lookup to find the name of the report datasource.Â When it finds the datasource name it will then do a JNDI lookupÂ for a JDBC datasource with theÂ same name.Â If your Application server doesn't have a datasource with that name it will through the error you were seeing.Â
4. I'm not sure about losing the Command object when changing the datasource but this is probably happening because the Command is linked to the database driver.
5. What you could try doing is creating a JDBC Datasource on your application server where this app will run with a JNDI name thatÂ matches your report datasource name.Â If your reports datasource name is "MyOracleDatasource" then I believe the JNDI name for new JDBC Datasource would have to be "jdbc/MyOracleDatasource".
You could give this a try.

Images Change Colors between monitors while the UI stays the same

Hey! Im having an issue where photoshop changes the colors when I move the window between my monitors, seen here: http://sta.sh/04y5s60vf3j This isnt due to the monitors themselves being different, it actually changes after a few seconds of moving it inbetween the monitors. The left one has been callibrated with a spyder 3 elite which I no longer have access to. I applied the file with windows color management instead of the spyder utility. The second one is new, and it is not callibrated by anything, but instead was done by hand with the built in brightness/contrast/custom RGB settings. Both of them are very close to eachother, enough so for my tastes. but when photoshop changes what the image looks like, it's causing problems. Interestingly enough, when I disable callibration for the monitor on the left, the image does not change colors between monitors, but instead always appears as it does on the right. but then they don't match up and the whole screen looked washed out because it's uncallibrated, so that doesnt do me any good. Another interesting thing to point out, is when this image is saved as a .JPG, and viewed with firefox the image appears exactly like the monitor on the LEFT (which is my main monitor) despite the left monitor being the one that is force changed. does anyone have any suggestions? It also appears that windows photoviewer is behaving the same way, though firefox does not. Meaning when I open an image in all 3 on the left monitor, they look the same, but when opened on the right monitor, windows photo viewer and photoshop both display the image as brighter and redder than firefox does. This is frustrating, because it seems photoshop is changing the image with my callibration on my left monitor to match what it looks like on the web, which it does. but it doesn't do this for the right monitor, or when the left is uncallibrated. Another issue I can see with this is even if the UI is the same shade of gray, the images are different between the monitors because of this change. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Alright! So I reread through all this, poked at some things on the internet, and I'm going to attempt to summarize what would be a good solution for all this (And it seems, it still won't be perfect, but to get myself into the best environment I can for not messing with images for an hour trying to make them look nice before I post them to the web. I painted something yesterday on the cintiq, popped it over to my laptop screen and it just looked washed out and terrible.)
1. Get a X-rite EODIS3 i1 Display Pro, Callibrate laptop and cintiq. I do have the money to drop on something like this, especially if it's a time saver.
     Things I'm not sure about:
          a. There was a ton of complaints about the software not working when I checked reviews, but also a ton that said everything was great. most of them were mac users though.
          b. I'm not sure if problems would still be posed, even while calibrated, by me having a wide gamut monitor.
          c. I'm a terrible excuse for a human being and I think the colors showing up brighter on the wide gamut screen is pretty (I should just make my images this bright on a normal screen and there won't be any issues. >.>)
2. Set Firefox to color manage (easy enough)
3. Change my photoshop working space to sRGB (since they'll have been calibrated at this point)
3. Accept the fact that most of the people who look at my work will be doing so on a monitor that is almost certainly uncalibrated, and I can't control what they will see on my screen, but I CAN control if the colors are -actually- what I want them to be on any properly calibrated device. which is probably the best way to go anyways.
4. Make paintings, have fun.
Now, you two have been going on about all sorts of interesting things in here, and it seems that calibration issue run much much deeper than I ever thought. Do either of you have recommendations for how I should tweak this list of things to do or other things I can/ should do? I'm not currently a working professional, but if I have anything to say about it, I will be within a few years (I'm going to school for illustration and studying concept design on my own time) so it'd be useful for me to get into good habits now.
