SSRS 2008 R2/SSRS 2012 Tab Delimited setup is not working correctly in Report Designer

I have changed a RSReportDesigner.config to add a tab delimited option for report export, but it is not working correctly in vs2008/vs2010 report designer. I get a duplicate of CSV (comma delimited) in the export dropdown list.
I have tested SSRS 2008 R2/SSRS 2012 on Windows 7 64 bit professional.
It is working correctly in the report manager.
<Extension Name="TAB" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
       <OverrideNames>
           <Name Language="en-US">TAB delimited</Name>
       </OverrideNames>
       <Configuration>
           <DeviceInfo>
               <FieldDelimiter xml:space="preserve">	</FieldDelimiter>
               <Encoding>ASCII</Encoding>
               <UseFormattedValues>False</UseFormattedValues>
               <NoHeader>False</NoHeader>
               <FileExtension>TXT</FileExtension>
           </DeviceInfo>
       </Configuration>
      </Extension>

Hi Dave0323,
According to your description, you want to export your report into TXT file and change the delimiter to be a Tab. Right?
In Reporting Services, when exporting to a CSV file, we can change the default field delimiter to any character that we want, including TAB, by changing the device information settings in the configuration file. For example, to use TAB,
update the FieldDelimiter setting to <FieldDelimiter xml:space="preserve">[TAB]</FieldDelimiter>. And we can change the FileExtension to be TXT if we want to export it into a TXT file. So in this scenario, we just need to modify the configuration
file like below:
The result looks like below:

Newbie question on report design for multiple pages - HELP!

I am upgrading an existing accounting program to use Crystal reports. The accounting program generates account statements for our investors. Each account needs to have 1 statement (which typically is only 1 page long).
I have a table that has 1 record per activity per account. Every account has a unique code and the report is set to group records by this code. Therefore, an account can have 1+ records associated with it that need to be displayed in the details section.
To test my report I have 4 records in my table -- 2 records for account code 'ABCD' and 2 records for account code 'WXYZ'. The report correctly groups the records together and summarizes the necessary information, but it DOES NOT create a page break.
I don't understand what else I need to do in the designer to force it to create a new page everytime the account code changes... It's basically a mail-merge type functionality that I am looking for!
Any help is appreciated.
SG

In the gray section to the left of the report design, right-click on the group footer for the Account Code and select 'Section Expert'. Turn on "New Page After". To prevent a blank page at the end of your report, click on the formula button to the right of the check-box and enter "not OnLastRecord".

Error at report designer while opening the query

Hi
in report designer i am trying to open query
i am getting error like
error while loading query meta data
check the query and portal settings
i am getting this error only this report only
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the BI components on the SAP J2EE Engine.
System Response
Procedure
Contact your system administrator to have the error analyzed in detail.
Procedure for System Administration
Start the Visual Administrator, log on to the SAP J2EE Engine and choose "<J2EE_SID>" ->"Server" -> "Services" -> "Log Viewer".
The file "defaultTrace.trc" includes detailed information about the error that occurred. In Windows, you can find this file in the Log Viewer under "Cluster <computer name>" -> "Server <server number>" -> "<drive>:\usr\sap\<SID>\JC<INSTANCE>\j2ee\cluster\server<NUMBER>\log". ". In Unix, the file is located under "/usr/sap/<SID>/JC<INSTANCE>/j2ee/cluster/server<NUMBER>/log".
If the file does not include enough detail about the error, you can increase the log level to obtain more information. To do this, choose "<J2EE_SID>" -> "Server" -> "Services" -> "Log Configurator". On the "Locations" tab page, choose "com" -> "sap" -> "ip" -> "bi" -> "webapplications". Using the selection list on the right side of the screen, you can increase the log level, whereby "DEBUG" represents the log level with the most information. You can save your settings by choosing the "Save" icon. The change to the log level is active immediately. Once you have successfully analyzed the error, you should set the log level back to its default value using the appropriate pushbutton; continuous writing to the log file negatively affects the overall performance of the system.

Hi Suneel,
If you are using any JAVA based applications or objects in the Report designer this error is thrown.
It's better to install Java engine to correct this error.
You must contact Basis people in order to solve this issue.

Hi vadlamudi
The error message RSBOLAP 018 means, that the ABAP stack can't communicate with the Java Stack.
1) Please ensure, that the user, used for the Report Designer, is valid in the Portal too. Depending on the user management setup this means that there either needs to be the same user or an assigned user in the Portal.
2) In case the user is valid, it means a basic misconfiguration according to note 937697. In this case please run the Support Desk Tool and ensure, that all checks are green. Please ensure, that the latest version of the Support Desk Tool is used.

Can anybody help me how do I design such report....
Thanks

Hi Developer life,
According to your description that you want to dynamically increase and decrease the numbers of the columns in the table, right?
As Jason A Long mentioned that we can use the matrix to do this and put the year field in the column group, amount fields(Numric values) in the details, add an filter to filter the data base on this column group, but if
the data in the DB not suitable to add to the matrix directly, you can use the unpivot function to turn the column name of year to a single row and then you can add it in the column group.
If there are too many columns in the column group, it will fit the page size automatically and display the extra columns in the next page.

If your still have any problem, please try to provide us more details information, such as the data structure in the DB and the table structure you are currently designing.
Any question, please feel free to let me know.

Report Designer Control - Redistribution Issue

Hi:
I use Report Designer Control(RDC) in my program to allow user to modify reports. I made a build and installed the build but when I try to access report designer from program I am getting the error about license.
"This system does not have a valid license, or the evaluation copy of the license has expired. Please contact Business Objects to obtain a Report Design Control license."
I do have valid KeyCode for RDC and i am supplying the same for the merge module too.
My Development Environment
Operating System            :     Windows XP (SP 2)
IDE                                 :     VS 2005 Professional
Crystal Reports                :      XI Release 2 Developer
Deployment Software        :      InstallShield 12 Premier
Can anyone please tell me why I am getting above message, I can able to distribute Report Designer Control with Crystal Reports 9 version without any problems, but it is not working with Crystal Reports XI.
Thanks in Advance,
Sriram.

Hello,
The Report Designer Component (RDC) was never designed to work in Visual Studios .NET. This is because the RDC is an ActiveX COM component and Microsoft has been moving away from ActiveX.
It is also my experience that RCAPI applications - "to allow user to modify reports" - will not work in a Visual Studios application.
It is possible you're getting your error if you had an original CR XI (v11.0) keycode and upgraded to CR XI R2 (v11.5). Original CR XI (v11.0) keycodes will not work. CR XI (v11.0) keycodes do not "unlock" RCAPI functionality in CR XI R2 (v11.5). If you upgraded from CR XI (v11.0) to CR XI R2 (v11.5) you likely have an original CR XI (v11.0) keycode. You will need to get a new CR XI R2 keycode from Business Objects. You can contact the Customer Care team by email - customercareamericas @ businessobjects.com (rebuild the email address) - or by phone - 800-877-2340, option 5. If they need additional information you can ask them to contact me. I'm on the Developer Support team and they should be able to contact me internally.
If you have an original CR XI R2 (v11.5) keycode please make sure to update to at least Service Pack 2 and download updated RDC merge modules from the [Business Objects Software Download Page|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm].
Please remember that even if you get a new, original CR XI R2 keycode, and/or update your merge modules you may still not be able to get your VS2005 RCAPI RDC application working.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

Report Designer - error message and variable

Hi All,
Who has already experience with the formatted report (Report Designer)?.
We work with SAP GUI 640.
I have the following problems with the report designer.:
1.) If I even execute the report designer, I receive the following error message:
<b>Web Item Report Error
       Error while processing the dynamic report section with the name " REP_TEST_1"
       While processing the dynamic report section with the name "REP_TEST_1", this
       error occured:
       Characteristic SDB2_IO1_F9 not found on axis "ROW" of data
       provider "SDB2_IO1"</b>
I`ve already checked the Query and the InfoSet on this the Query was built. There are no mistakes! The InfoObject is in the row.
With 2 other ones new defined Queries I receive the same error message, only with another info object.
2.) If I executing the report designer not all variables are available.
     How can I change this?
I`m thanks for every information and hope that Somebody can help me.

Wolfgang

Hello Nagesh,
1.) yes, I have one structure in the column.

     So, what can I do to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help.

Report Designer odbc connection string for data source using a parameter

I am using stand alone report designer 3 for the present and have a question/problem regarding the odbc connection string for MySQL when setting up the data-source
I need to be able to enter a parameter which is the database name i.e. BOE-201401 or say BOE-201312 etc from a list of databases the user can choose from.
at present the odbc connection string points to BOE-201402
the connection string is at present Dsn=Development Server for MYsql;description=MYSQL;server=ldndw01;database=BOE-201402;port=3306
my parameter has the name BOE_DATABASE
and in an expression it is as such
=Parameters!BOE_DATABASE.Value
I want to point the datasource for the report to the parameter value before the user sees the report.

Hi Leslie,
Based on your description, we want to design a report with a dynamic DataSource connection string. There are the basic steps below for your reference:
Create report with static database.
Change data source to report parameter.
Send new database connection string as a report parameter.
More detail information, please refer to the following blog: Dynamic Database in SSRS 2008.

Crystal Reports Design Documentation

Does anyone have a good MS Word template for documenting a Crystal Report design?
Fuskie
Who keeps reinventing the wheel with each contract but can never settle on a good layout...

Before or after the report is done??
Either way, I'd start with a brief description of the purpose of the report and a "management overview" level of the data shown. I'd then follow it with a page of the report (if it's complete). Following that, the source of the data, followed by calculations performed whose results are not shown, followed by a list of the columns the report has with complete descriptions, followed by grouping and subtotals, followed by parameters with a complete description of each, followed by non-parameterized record and/or group selection, followed by any other special information (hiding columns conditionally, whatever...). Obviously, the order of the sections might flow better if rearranged... or not...

Embeddable Crystal Reports Designer Control and Visual FoxPro

Post Author: PaulBtci
CA Forum: Other
Hello everyone, I have a problem adding CRXI Embeddable Crystal Reports Designer Control in the run-time. When the following line is being executed, an "Insert Object" dialog pops up. ThisForm.AddObject( "oleDesigner", "olecontrol", "CrystalReports.EmbeddableCrystalReportsDesignerCtrl" ) The control, however, is available in the list, and when selected is added to the form. The above problem does not exist when I add ActiveX ReportViewer. Can anyone help me with this issue? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Paul

Good morning,
I am using "Embeddable Crystal Reports Designer Control" Crystal Report 11 with Visual Basic 6.0.
There is some way for disable the tab "preview the main report"? THis is including in "Embeddable Crystal Reports Designer Control"
or
There is some way for update the tab "preview the main report" loaded after other report? Because, the preview is not refresh.
Thanks
Buenos días,
Les comento, estoy utilizando el control "Embeddable Crystal Reports Designer Control" (CRDesignerCtrl11_5) del Crystal Report 11 en un proyecto de Visual Basic 6.0
Cuando cargo un reporte dos veces, se presenta la "vista previa de informe principal". Sin embargo cuando vuelvo a cargar otro reporte no se actualiza la "vista previa de informe principal" sino que se queda con la información cargada anteriormente.
Quisiera saber si existe una forma de acceder al control para actualizar la "vista previa de informe principal", ya que a pesar de dar clic derecho y elegir actualizar no toma los datos del nuevo reporte cargado.
Y si es posible en todo caso desabilitar la "vista previa de informe principal" o hacerlo invisible para que únicamente se presente la pestaña de "Informe Principal".
De antemano agradezco su ayuda.

XL Reporter Designer

Hi Friends,
We have some queries with XL Reporter Designer.
1) Using XL Reporter Designer, How can we get all Table names. For eg: I want the interest table which is part of sales opportunity under potential tab. How can i know that specific name of table. since the table names in xl reporter are different from sap b1 system information visible in status bar. I want to retrieve information from interest table in xl reporter designer.
2) Using XL Reporter Designer, How can i mention a specific column name which is not visible in formula builder.
3) Using XL Reporter Designer, How to mention the udf fields?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Ravi

All the table names are listed in the Designer on the left hand side. If you want to use these tables in the formula builder, you must include them in your definition. (a * will allow retrieval of all records from the table).
To make the UDF's visible, use the tools menu in the Organiser, open the list and tick the ones you want, you will need to restart XL Reporter, then they will appear in the formula builder in the appropriate table
