Report Parameters behaving strangely

Hello,
I just completed my report in the designer provided with visual studio 2008, it's a relatively complex report with 6 subreports and has multiple detail sections. The parent report has one parameter which is used in a Database command. The report works nicely when previewing from the designer and only shows up one required parameters as it should. All the subreports have parameters as well but these are all linked to things on the parent report.
The problem is when I try to execute the report from code, it ignores my parameters and proceeds to ask for multiple parameters, both including the parent parameters and all sub report parameters. If I enter these manually just to test if it works, I then get a message saying there's an error in one of the subreport's record selection formula. However I'm not sure how much I believe this as the previewing works completely fine.
I just have no idea what is happening and why I am getting requests for so many parameters?
Marlon

Update ***
I have managed to work through towards getting the report to display in the .NET app now, I needed to check the IsLinked() fucntion before assigning parameters.
However, I have now been presented with an even more weird problem: If I switch database in code, I now get asked to enter a parameter I know is a linked one, if I do I get a message saying the record selection formula references an unknown field. But if I get the designer to change database, then get it to preview, it works flawlessly (both in the previewer and in the application). Until I change the database back to the original one, where I get the same error.
Our application needs to be used in many client organisations with each having different connection strings / databases (all have the same schema obviously) so I need this report to run independent of what the database it was designed / compiled on.
Here is the code I use to switch database within the application, is there anything different to the way I do it to the way the crystal report designer does it? As the designer is obviously doing something behind the scenes.
This code has worked on the 15 or so reports I've designed so far.
               ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
                TableLogOnInfo tLI = new TableLogOnInfo();
                ConnectionInfo cI = new ConnectionInfo();
                Tables tables;
                cryRpt.Load(reportPath);
                    cI.ServerName = (string)builder["Data Source"];
                    cI.DatabaseName = (string)builder["Initial Catalog"];
                    cI.UserID = (string)builder["User ID"];
                    cI.Password = (string)builder["Password"];
                    tables = cryRpt.Database.Tables;
                    foreach (Table t in tables)
                        tLI = t.LogOnInfo;
                        tLI.ConnectionInfo = cI;
                        t.ApplyLogOnInfo(tLI);

How generate a crystal reports layout for Batch Report

Dear Experts,
I want to create a crystal reports layout for Batch Report that appears when printing Delivery Note.
I've tried using DocKey@ token but it only works in the delivery note layout itself. The following code at the select expert for this crystal layout doesn't work:
{ODLN.DocEntry} = {?DocKey@}
Kindly guide me in the above issue. Thanks.

I am using version 8.8 SP.00 PL.10
It is very strange that I cannot get the layout connected to the database as I have followed the same steps for all layouts. It all works fine until I get to the invoice stage and then I cannot make the connection.
(I dont need to worry about the sales invoice as this was provided at installation point by our vendor)

Sales quote layout rows doubled in crystal report layout

Dear All,
Sales quote layout rows doubled in crystal report layout.
In sales quote layout the rows are doubled. Even in the standard layout. If the quote contains only two rows. Then it is doubled as 4 rows in the crystal report layout.
It is happening in the particular database. Other database are working fine. I request you people to help me to overcome this issue.

Huge delay in Printing Crystal Report Layout

Good Day Experts,
I am experiencing big delays when printing a document that makes use of a Crystal Report Layout Design.
For example,
The Sales Quote is set to automatically print when added by the user.
When clicking 'Add', SAP freezes up and only about 30 seconds later does the printer finally print the document.
During that time, the user cannot use SAP at all.
The layout does have a lot of fields and a few formulas here and there.
Logically, I am thinking that that is the reason for the delay, as SAP needs to calculate and populate those fields.
Is there any other way that I could speed up this process? Or if you know what might be causing this speed issue?
Your assistance will be appreciated,
Thanks
Regards
Dario

Report Layout in report Painter

I created a Report in reportPainter. In the report layout, lead column section..I select Group Name to display the group name (set's id) in the report's lead column but not all the set's keys appear. It only appears children's ids but not the father's ids.
I also need the father's ids....why do I do to have the father's ids too?
Thanks...
Example
father set:
A Inventories
chidren sets:
A1 Raw Materials
A2 Obsolete Materials
In the report I only see the A1 and A2 ids and its descriptions. I also see the Inventories word. But I dont see the A key next to the Inventories description....why?

Hi,
Check whether the field in the internal table used for displaying ID is getting pouplated or not

How to link PDF document in Report Layout??

I need to display the contents of PDF document after the form letter report. I tried OLE object but at the runtime it does not display the content. Does any one knows how to attach PDF document in reports layout?
Thanks
Ravindra

you will have to concatinate your report output with the static PDF document. in reprots 10g you can create a cusotm destination that could implement this functionality.
out of the box, reports does not provide the ability to add static content in PDF to reports' generated PDF output.
thanks,

Oracle bi publisher report for apex - Report Layout

Hi There,
Navigation: Home>Application Builder>Application 20>Shared Components>Report Layouts
I created rtf template for a Report Query. It worked fine upto certain point.
However at some point, if I make a minor modification to the layout it is not displaying all the data that it is supposed to.
I have 3 tables in my RTF template 1) Header 2) Details 3) Summary. Details section has a group. This runs fine.
Now if I just combine all the above 3 tables into one by adding row above and row below to the "2) details" table and moving the table 1 and table 3 into those rows, makes the data in the group in table 2 disappear when run on the apex application.
However it works fine when data is loaded on the RTF template and Preview --> PDF is seen.
Is it a known bug? Because some of my coleagues has same issues.
Thanks
Krishna

Are those fields in the corresponding report query? change to the design of the document? did you delete the old template and re-upload after making the changes?
Moreover the preview on the RTF template works fine with the same data.Preview from where?

Standard Report layouts in Crystal 2008 for SBO 2007A

It has been 2 years since SBO adopted Crystal Reports to become part of the standard product, I refer back to the initial links which promised links to Standard Reports, however 2 years later these links appear to be exactly the same, no updates.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/807d22cb-cb1d-2b10-8794-fb76d7feca88#section12 [original link is broken]
For SBO 8.8 there appears to be a pack of Reports available for Sales Orders, Purchase Orders etc
I would like to know if there a pack of standard Crystal reports for SBO 2007A and if so where would we be able to find them?
Many thanks
Kevin West

Custom Report Layout with mutliple child tables

I am trying to create a custom report layout (using Bi Publisher) where I have parent data (multiple jobs on a page) and several child tables for each job (JobDays and JobStops) and several child tables for JobDays (JobDayProviders, JobDayCrew). On the apex screen, I have a join on Jobs and JobDays and I am using functions to string each child row value for JobDayProviders and JobDayCrew together and putting a <br> in between so that they will format on separate lines within a cell. It works fine on the screen but when trying to print to pdf, it ignores these line breaks. I have also tried using <br></br> (saw an article that said just use HTML in bi pulisher) which puts two lines in between each value on the screen and is still ignored on the pdf.
for example:
Table hierarchy:
Jobs table
Job Stops
Job Days
Job Day Service Providers
Job Day Crew
Report Layout per job (will have mutlipe jobs to print, just printing 1 day per job):
Jobs.col1 JobStops.row1 JobDay.col1 JobDayProviders.row1 JobDayCrew.r1
JobStops.row2 JobDayProviders.row2 JobDayCrew.r2
JobDayProviders.row3
Thanks,
Linda
First, is there a way to get bi publisher to recognize the line breaks? If not, what is the best way to create a custom report for this scenario? I tried to create a report query with mutliple queries, but cannot determine how to link the child queries to the paren query. I have seen an example where a button is pressed to print one parent row and the id of that row is saved and referenced as a parameter in each of the queries, but if printing mutliple parents on a report, how would I link the child queries to the parent query?

Helen,
The best way for your case is to use a content folder and customize it whichever way you like.
however, your question is about reports. the problem in reports is this that you have to use just one single query and the layout of the results of this query are displayed in a peculiar way.
anyway. something similar but not exactly the same as what you wanted do is the following.
use a query like the following: (with a union in between)
SELECT COLUMN1,NULL , NULL ,NULL ,NULL
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
UNION
SELECT NULL,COLUMN2 , COLUMN3, COLUMN4, COLUMN5
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
---------- Now, have the following codes in the layout segments:

<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="20%" align="center">

<tr align="center">
<td><table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="30%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<TH><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TH>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN4.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN5.FIELD#></TD>
</tr>

<TR><TD></TD></TR>
this should produce a report with a table structure (you may see the whole if you give BORDER="1" in the main table tag). Within this table, the first column of the first row should be showing top-leftmost column value once (COLUMN1 value) and then the next rows would show last four column values as a table block on the right-bottom part.
with kind regards,
naqvi

Purchase Order Crystal Report Layout Error

The stock Crystal Report Layout for Purchase Orders is giving me the following error:
A subscript must be between 1 and the size of the array.
Details: errorKind
Error in File POR20002 {b89f97ad-bf1f-447b-8bb4-b3d2e5219269}
{3C375C81-7D37-475D-9BCB-1703CE533B65}.rpt
Error in formula N_Decimal_Places:
'// To get the length of decimals
A subscript must be between 1 and the size of the array.
Details: errorKind
I looked in the Crystal Reports Formula fields and could not find N_Decimal_Places.
Has any one else had the problem with the PO layout that comes with Business One? If so, how did you fix it?

Couldn't find how to copy the PO layout over using copy express.
I did compare the RDOC fields for POR20002 in both databases and they are Identical.
In Crystal Reports, I did a formula search for N_Decimal_Places and it found nothing. Then I did a search for 'length' in all formulas and it finds length in N_Decimal_Places. When I double click on N_Decimal_Places it clears the screen and never shows the formula. This happens in both layouts for my test database and SBODemoUS.
Again, SBODemoUS works correctly and AAA_TEST give the error.

Importing Crystal Report layout for customer statements

Hello,
I have imported a crystal report layout to use for the customer statements when running them from the ageing report. The problem is even if we only select one business partner in the ageing report, when we print preview the statement it displays statements for all business partners - this is because in the crystal report there are no parameters. I know that when you import a layout like this for other documents you need to use for example, {ORDR.DocEntry}={DocKey@} as the parameter however the customer statements don't have a docentry. When I look at the system statement layout (collection layout), when you run the report you get an ADO.NET (XML) connection prompt. Is it possible to use the crystal layout i have for the customer statements but for only the customer(s) showing on the ageing report?
Many thanks,
Kate

So just to make it clear,
you want an overview of open invoices from 1 customer.
If so, try this in crystal reports :
Create a parameter field (field explorer)
Name : CardName
Type : String
Value : Static
do not select a value field (none)
press ok.
Select expert
Create new
Starts with
type this : {?CardName}
press add
Click formula editor and make it look like this :
{OINV.DocStatus} = "o" and
{OINV.CardName} startswith {?CardName}

Set As Default Crystal Report Layout in SAP B1 8.8 PL13

Hi,
I want to Set As Default a Crystal Report Layout. I know you can do that in Layout Desginer - Selection Criteria, but SAP B1 8.8 PL 13 has only a Manage Layout button in the Layout Desginer window which links to the Report and Layout Manager. There is no Set As Default button.
Where can you select which layout to be default in PL13?
Thanks!
Cristina

Hi
If you want to Set as Default particular PLD then Open that Form
For. Example
Sales Ar > A/R Invocies (Item) document
Then Click on PLD icon ans select your crystal report as Default by Set as Defaul button.
Thanks
