Report Designer - New Page

Hi,
We have created a report designer report that uses a Cost Center hierarchy. We want to display each node of the hierarchy on a new page. There is an option to select Page Break Before/After for the hierarchy header.
If we select Page Break Before, the issue with this is that the first page of the report displays as blank page and then it works fine. Is there any way to get the page breaks without the blank page?
Thanks
Hemant

Hi Erik,
In the Report Structure tab, drill down to your desired chracteristic. eg you will have Group level 0 > Group level 1: Company code > Group header 1 > 0COMP_CODE. Position on the characteristic and in the properties you will see a section "Rowpattern" where you can select page break before or after.
Hope this answers your question,
Pieter

Open Jasper Report in new page using servlet

Guys,
Looks very simple but i am having problem making this process work. I am using 11.1.1.4
This is my use case:
- From a employee page, user clicks on a menu item to open report for current employee. I need to pass appropriate report parameters to servlet and open report into new page.
I can successfully call servlet using commandmenuitem and set request parameters and call servlet from backing bean.... but that doesn't open report in a new page.... any way i can do this?
Another option i tried was that using gomenuitem and setting target=blank but in that case i need to pass the parameter using servlet url which i like to avoid.(in case i need to pass many parameters in future) (also values will be set on page so i need to generate url when then click the menuitem...... so there are some hoops and loops i need to go through) I don't know a way to pass the request parameter using backing bean to servlet... i don't think it is possible.
Those are the two approaches i tried.
If you have any better approach...I would appreciate if you can let me know. (i have searched on internet for two days now.... for the solution)

To view reports in new page for each cutomer using Report Designer

HI all
I have a requirement to view the data (key figures) for each customer in a new page.
I have created the same using the Report Designer tool.
Now there is setting for this Group Header 'Customer' i have selected the option 'repeat group header on each page'
still the query when generated, gives fine results for certain cases but not for all.
like it will show the each customers in a fresh page for some pages , then in midst there would some 2-3 customers in the same page.
There is no relation between these customers , they are same as the other customers, no difference at all.then i am not able to figure out the reason why it is behaving so odd.
Thanks
Ramesh

Ramesh,
right now there really is no way to solve what you are looking for. There partial solutions, but you will not be able to force a page break in a dynamic report.
Here is what I have faced, and what I have come up with so far:
I have a series of reports that have the same column heading, but spread over 5 pages in a fixed structure. I need to be able to re-use the header and the general report design with 6 reports. Here is my solution:
1. Create an outline of the report. I did all the formatting by creating a report section for each page. You can force page breaks between the pages. Upgrade to patch 1502 (came out last week) and you will see some new functionality (such as fit to page, page numbers, etc).
2. Insert all you page breaks and do all the formatting.
3. Insert an infoprovider. Once in, you can just drag and drop the key figure cells into your formatted report.
4. Create additional modification for formatting as needed.
This fixes my problem (for now), but I had to do a lot of work to come up with this. Also, the latest patch (1501 and 1502) has created an issue for me - there is a null exception when I try to use a variable or a filter value in the report body - I can't save the report. I have an OSS message out, but our BASIS guys are going to be taking the lead on troubleshooting this.
The reason that you are seeing some customers on the new pages is probably because of "how the cookie falls" - they just fit that way.
I am trying to be positive and overcome the limitations that are in place right now. If my technical issue is solved, I would recommend upgrading to the new patch (1403 is the latest stable one in my opinion)
good luck
Pavel

Report Designer - Summary page based on 3 queries with dynamic hierarchy?

Dear All,
I am trying to build a workbook based on 3 queries with a summary page that pulls in the query data into one page.
Each query is based on one key figure that is split by profit centre hierarchy.
i.e.
Turnover
-Profit Centre Node A
-Profit Centre Node B
-Profit Centre Node C
> Profit Centre C1
> Profit Centre C2
The user can dril-down into each query at whatever level of the PC Hierarchy they wish.
My issue is trying to structure a dynamic summary page that pulls in all rows from the individual queries regardless of the number of profit centre hierarchies contained in each. i.e. The summary could have 5 PCs for queries 1,2 & 3 in one execution, but then 10 for all queries in another execution.
Question:
Can report designer be used to make a dynamic summary sheet that will capture all rows from the individual query? or would an excel macro summary be the only way of doing this?

Hi Ingo,
After much testing and looking into trace etc. we have got this thing to behave as desired. Basically, following two things,
- no reference to CR Dynamic Hierarchy variable on report. There were places where this parameter was being refered and causing grief. We tested with brand new report.
- making sure that on query Cost center restriction is placed in Characteristic Restriction area of Filter tab of query, as oppose to default value area filter tab.
With above in place, the published report in infoview behave as desired, i.e. proper hierarchy structure in cost center prompt and group tree and only desired nodes showing on report.
Thank you for all you pointers
Regards

Passing parameters from report to new page with portlets.

Hello everyone:
I have a plsql report portlet on a page that has a column that I would like to pass as a parameter to a new page to populate more portlets. I tried setting up a link but I can't seem to get the value in the column to pass as the parameter. I am a novice when it comes to developing portlets.
Thanks in advance!

The link is the way to go (at first). You have to create the link first. Then assign this link to the column that you want to the hyperlink to appear on - this assignment happens on the 2nd tab of the report (Column formatting) by choosing the newly created link in the link dropdown. After you have assigned the link to the column you must edit the assigned link where you can then choose the value that must be passed across.
The link approach works fine, but there are limitations. I just do all the links in code these days - so in the report select statement I have <a href....>. This gives more flexibility. Ultimately there is the issue of passing parameters to forms: using links (or hand coded) you can pass parameters to reports (if param is also defined as input param with ":") and also forms, but all you can do with a form is to pass param that can be used to uniqeuly identify one record which is the one that will show in the form. Anything else (e.g. pass a param to prepopulate a field on the form) needs an even more complicated solution (:).
Cheers.
Anton.

Report in new page does not know of session and presentation variables

I have a question about GOURL.
I am using GOURL as a column function in one report (report A), so that when i click on that column it takes me to another report(report B) that open in new popup window.
the first report (A) also uses some session and presentation variables, which is also used by Report B as filters. I am curious that if I add these filters which are using variables to report B, why can't report B get the value of these, (it just errors out ) because it didn't found any value to those variables in the filter.
Becuase I am ending up with passing all these variables in GOURL and setting them as 'isprompted'.
Does this report (B) knows nothing else than what it finds in GOURL?
thanks

In a nutshell, if u use gourl then its parameters will be only using in navigated report. This is functionality

Object Reference not set to instance of Object when sub-report on new page

I have a problem when my sub-report goes onto the second page of the report, with an error message.
My VB.NET displays a report and sub-report (in the footer) in a CrystalReportViewer:
- When both are on the first page, both display fine
- When the sub-report (or at least part) goes to the second page, the report displays OK, but without the subreport. When I go to page 2 of the report - hoping to see the sub-report - an error message is displayed, with title "Crystal Report Windows Forms Viewer" and text "Object Reference not set to an instance of an object".
This problem occurs both on my development machine in VS and at a user site.
Am desperate for some ideas please! I have VB.NET in Visual Studio 2010, and SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010. The program is targeted for .NET Framework 3.5.
I looked for the HandleException event on my Windows Forms Viewer, as suggested by SAP and Microsoft, but cannot find this. See for [example|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/businessobjectsxi/en/en/crystalreports_dotnet_sdk/crystalreports_net_doc/doc/crsdk_net_doc/html/crlrfwindowsformscrystalreportviewerclasshandleexceptioneventtopic.htm]

Usually, the error is due to the object going out of scope. Placing the object in a session may help. Moving the CR code to page init or page load may help. Looking at samples may help:

New Page Format implentation in Sap Scripts and Reports

Hi,
   I want to print Report details and also some of the SAP Script details on the paper size of 350MM width and 310MM Height in the PORTRAIT format.
   So i created new page format with these dimensions.
   How i can use this for reports. So i can set these parameters while taking output from Report.
   Pls specify if any configuration required for this.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Pavan.

In SAPscript, you set the Page Format for the document in the "Page Format" field of the "Basic Settings" page of the documents "Header" information. The popup list of this field will show all available formats in your system, so this is a ggod way to make sure your new format is set up properly.
For reports, page format is set either with the LINE-SIZE addition to the REPORT and NEW-PAGE commands, or through the PARAMETERS addition to the NEW-PAGE command. When you use LINE-SIZE the print system picks the format for you, based on the available formats in the systems.
I don't remember if there is an activation step for Page Formats, or if saving is all you have to do.

Crystal Report Group section in new page

Hi all,
I have a program written in VB.Net 2005 which display a report. In this report, I have a group by Item type ascending.
When I run the program and load the report, it display the data correctly.
When I move my mouse cursor on Group Section Hearder on the report, it will change to Magnify icon.
When I double click on that Group title which is "Item Type" in my report, it will load a new page beside "Main Report" in Crystal tool bar.
Problem is it didn't contain Report Header/Footer or Page Header/Footer.
I like this feature but it only display the group section is not enough for me.
Why I like it is because my report will have different Item Type. Each type can list up to more than 1 page.
I want to print the report by Item Type. That means Item A may be total 2 pages, Item B may be total 6 pages.
All I need to do is load the page like I mention above, it will only contain that Item Type and click on Print to print out particular Item type.
Another issue is If i supress this Group Section in crystal report during design, when I run the program I can't double click to open up new page beside Main report.
Any idea and solution for my case????
Thanks.

Your report will need re-designing. What you are seeing is an expected behavior. Consider redesigning your report - possibly using subreports.
If i supress this Group Section in crystal report during design, when I run the program I can't double click
- again, an expected behavior. You suppressed the GroupSection. E.g.; you made it invisible / non functional / not needed by suppressing it...

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".

Report designer - Printing option - chops off columns to fit in page

When I run a report from report designer, it runs perfect(can scroll to end with all the columns) - but when i try to change to print format(PDF), it chops of many columns of the report to fit into the page... I have a query with 15 columns but in the PDF i get only 4columns.
Is there any workaround to squeeze in the whole report (*might be landscape) or Is this issue addressed in any OSS or SP?
Thanks in advance folks,
Voodi

Hi Karol, thanks for the answer. Sorry for all the dumb questions, but the report designer is altogether a new animal. Not to mention I havent worked on this.
I havent specified any page size for my report. When i run the report in the portal, the web page contains all the columns and not in PDF. Where can set the page size in the report designer to determine the size of my page.
And is there a way, where i can set an option to embed the report into PDF as a landscape(not while printing, but embbeding).

Fbl5n report showing pritn output for a new customer on a new page

Hello All,
In fbl5n when i execute for all the customers and give print command its printing every new customer on a new page but i want to print the data continously.
Pls let me knw how to avoid this?
Sunny

Hi Sunny,
you're case is quite common, because SAP displays the customer data in a standard layout, putting a page break after every customer and company code.
In order to avoid this, you may change the grouping criteria. For that,
1. be sure that you have not clicked on the header of any column in the list
2. click on button "sort ascending"
3. here you'll see that fields "company code" and "account" have an asterisk on column NG (new group). This means that, for every change in these fields, SAP will insert a page break
4. remove these asterisks
5. (optional) save this layout for further launchings of the report
I hope this helps. Best regards,
Alvaro

Need help on filtering out one record from a report and open in new page

Hi I am new and embarrassed to write in the forum asking silly questions. Thing is I am learning all from scratch without help from anyone. I have created a database (have previous knowledge only from Access) and have managed to create a beautiful report from a search filter. This report lines up several records matching what I needed. Now, I want to make the whole report with hyperlinks to a detailed page on each of the records in the report. I have tried using the feature where one can make one column hyperlinked and redirect to a new page, where I am getting all the records again - instead of only getting the record I am clicking on. I have looked and looked in the forums without finding solution and I have tested and tried various methods without luck. I am suspecting that I need some sort of knowledge on how to write a select query with where conditions that can apply to filtering out a record from one report to get another detailed on only one object (i.e. record). :/ Stupid or what?

Hrefna.
What you need to look into is two things:
1) The link you defined, needs to set additional attributes for the target page. In the "Column Link" box, you have set the link to "Page in this Application" and followed by the page number (let's say, Page 10). Below that, you should set an Item to an item on you target page (let's call that P10_PRODUCT_ID). This item should be the primary key of your detail table (on the targe page). You can select this item from the popup list. The Value of the item should be picked from a popup list as well, being the value from the record you clicked on. This should then transfer your selected item to your page. The URL will then have something like P10_PRODUCT_ID:5 at the end.
2) On the target page, 10, you must change the query slightly, so that it adds a WHERE clause:
WHERE PRODUCT_ID = :P10_PRODUCT_ID
Now, you should be set.
Hope this helps.
