Report views correctly in Report Viewer but on export or print, blank page inserted after every page

Hi all
I'm hoping someone has an idea what is causing this issue. I am using Crystal 2008 and have created many reports over the years, with no issue like this.
I have had to create a label file for an Avery label that does not appear in the Crystal Reports default list of label definitions (have done this many times before for other labels, with no issue).
The report displays perfectly in the CR Report Viewer, however once the report is sent either to PDF export or to the printer, an extra blank page is inserted after every page of the report.
The fact that it displays correctly in the viewer means there is nothing in the report that is amiss.... there is something going on when the report is sent out.
I've read a lot of similar problems, however the idea that it is a network problem doesn't explain why the hundreds of other reports I've created exactly the same way... do not have this problem!
Does anyone know the answer to this puzzle?
regards
Kaz

Hi Karen
Here is the issue. When you look at the report in the viewer you see this:
Notice the dashed line after the body of each label. That line is there because the report is formatted to be a column report:
So the viewer shows you that there is another column to be printed / exported and that is what is happening with the report.

Oracle report runs correctly via report builder but call report via form with parameters skips one of the plsql formula

Hello everybody,
I created a oracle report i.e Bank Book having banks transactions receipts and payments and opening balance w.e.f 01-jul-2014. parameters are bank code, from_date and to_date. opening balance calculates (return ope from table bankinfo +total receipts-total payments). reports runs correctly via report builder. balances are ok. but the problem is when i run this report via oracle form opening balance return only ope from table bankinfo and skips total receipts-total payments.....
i dont think so why this happend at all. some body help me...

Report to correct FD33 report is showing incorrect values ??

Hi Guys,
Will appreciate your help on below issue.
The "RVKRED88 - Reorganization of SD credit data after updating errors" report is showing incorrect values.
It is specially observed for invoice correction requests that are credit blocked.
The doc flow is like Order (say value 1000 $), delivery, shipment, Picking, GI, billing, accounting all cleared/complete.
The invoice corrrection req (say value -ve 50$) was then created with reference to the billing doc.
The RVKRED88 report shws the original order as open and also shows an open delivery value of 1000$ + 50$= 1050$.
Is this behaviour correct? If not what might be the cause of this? and how to correct it?

I am not sure, how come you are getting correct numbers for UK plant if BX is not loaded. You can get numbers correctly only in one situation which is your initial stock at that plant was ZERO, which is practically not possible.
You said you are loading for Denmark only.
Was the BF init done only for UK?
How come you are loading BF Delta for UK only?
Did you check properly that BX is not loaded into production by changing the date range. Make sure you put the lowest date range in the from field. I would put 01/01/1000
As you said ISS is coming right because those are movements and they dont have to do anything with initial stock, but initial stock and movements affec your Total Stock Key Figure.

Printing Blank pages for SSRS Reports in Firefox browser

I have created an SSRS Report that works well on chrome, but when I use the site in Firefox the SSRS Page prints blank pages though the report displays properly. I have tried every thing like reducing table width. I am using the report viewer control.
Sanjeev Menon

Hi Sanjeev,
Generally, if the report display properly in the browser, it should be also work well when we print the report. And I can’t reproduce the scenario in my own environment. As to this issue, I recommend that you can try to run it in compatibility mode or use
IE explorer to print the report.
If this issue still exists, please try to update the report viewer control to latest release and check this issue again.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Any instance of time being displayed through Firefox is 5 hours off (+) (IE Comcast call time logs, every page print out, etc). IE and all other browers display correctly as is all of the time settings on my computer. Please help.

Any instance of time being displayed when using Firefox show the time off by +5 hours. I am in Phila so use EST. Every other setting is correct in computer. For example time call log displayed from Comcast and every page footer shows time +5 hours. I have not found anything helpful in searching the web. I always check after each upgrade to Firefox but problem persists.

Cor-el... The issue was in the autoexec.bat file. I did have the TZ set there. Removed and all is well.
Thanks Much.

Trouble with format of files exported from pages as .doc - when opened on a pc they have extra spaces and pages breaks inserted after each line? Can be manually deleted, but defeats sharing purpose. advice?

Hi all, I have trouble with the format of files exported by email as .doc from pages - when opened in MS word on a PC or other device, they have extra spaces and pages inserted after each line - can be deleted manually, but defeats sharing purpose. Any advice? Not the most sophisticated user.

Got it. I tried booting with MOD_AUTOLOAD set to yes, and it was working fine. Looks like I needed to specify some more modules in my list.

Role Settings: Viewing Reports, but no downloading or printing

Question for all you admins:
Is it possible in the Role Setup, to allow users to access the reports tab, view /execute reports, but not be able to download or print them?
I know you can change setting on exporting lists, but what about analytics and reports?
Thanks much.
RAZ

Copy the URL of the report that you want to display. Open another report (below which this report is going to be displayed). Go to any one of the report and navigate to Step 2 Create layout, Click the Add View button, and then select Advanced > Narrative.
The prefix section is the place where you can embed the other report. The format for Iframe is
<IFRAME SRC="ANALYTIC2 URL" WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=500 FRAMEBORDER=0>
eg
<IFRAME SRC="https://newOn Demand.siebel.com/On Demand/user/analytics/saw.dll?PortalPages&PortalPath=/shared/pre-built+Analysis/_Portal/Activities+By+Opportunity+Dashboard" WIDTH=700 HEIGHT=500 FRAMEBORDER=0>
In the URL that you copied, you will find “&Options=rfd” here r refers to refresh, f refers to Print and d refers to download. If you want to restrict the users from printing and downloading, remove f and d from there.
You will also notice that the refresh, print and download options are removed from the first report also. (the moment you use Iframe, no matter what access you give over here, the first report wont have those 3 options)
Hope this helps....

Report in Designer fast, in Viewer extremely slow

Hi.
I have a report which connects to a SQL Server backend, calling 3 stored procs which deliver the data needed for the report. However, when I execute the report in the Designer (the web app uses CR 9, but I'm testing it with CR 2008 that came with VS 2008) it takes approx. 20 seconds to return with the data - yes, the query takes rather long...
When I run our web application and call up the same report, using the same parameters and connected to the same database, the Viewer sits there for about 10 minutes before finally showing the report. I've been trying to determine the cause of this but have come up empty so far.
The report itself is a fairly simple report: headers, a parameter overview (the report uses parameterized queries), the data, and no subtotals, no subreports, no formulas.
Why is this taken so long using the Viewer? Apparently it can be fast(er) since the Designer comes within 20 secs WITH the correct data!
I've tried a couple of things to see if I could determine the cause of the bad performance, but so far I've had no luck in improving performance whatsoever. The only thing left would be redesigning the underlying stored proc, but this is a rather complex stored proc and rewriting it would be no small task.
Anybody has any idea on what to do next? Our customers are really annoyed by this (which I can understand) since they sometimes need to run this report a couple of times a day...

Interesting article. Unfortunately, trying several of the suggestions made, it didn't improve the report's performance. No noticeable difference in either Designer or Viewer.

This part is not relevant. Loading the report isn't the problem (first query being executed under 0.5 seconds after starting the report); as I'll explain further at the end of this reply.

The only OLE object is a picture with the company logo. It is visible in design time though, so I guess that means it is saved with the report?
> u2022 The subreport option "Re-import when opening" is enabled (right click the subreport(s), choose format subreport, look at the subreport tab). This is a time consuming process and should be used judiciously.
The report contains no subreports.

Tried that. It was set to the Microsoft XPS Document writer, but checking the 'No printer' option only made a slight difference (roughly 0.4 seconds in Designer).
> u2022 The number of subreports the report contains and in which section the subreports are located will impact report performance. Minimize the number of subreports used, or avoid using subreports if possible. Subreports are reports within a report, and if there is a subreport in a detail section, the subreport will run as many time as there are records, leading to long report processing times. Incorrect use of subreports is often the biggest factor why a report takes a long time to preview.
As stated before, the report has no subreports.
> u2022 Use of "Page N of M", or "TotalPageCount". When the special field "Page N of M" or "TotalPageCount" is used on a report, it will have to generate each page of the report before it displays the first page. This will cause the report to take more time to display the first page of the report
The report DOES use the TotalPageCount and 'Page N of M' fields. But, since the report only consists of 3 pages, of which only 2 contain database-related (read further below) I think this would not be a problem.

For example, if you need to concatenate 2 fields together, instead of doing it in a formula, you can create a SQL Expression Field. It will concatenate the fields on the database server, instead of doing in Crystal Reports. SQL Expression Fields are added to the SELECT clause of the SQL Query send to the database.

All of the above points become moot if you know the structure of the report:
3 pages, no subreports, 3 stored procs used, which each return a dataset.
- Page 1 is just a summary of the parameters used for the report. This page also includes the TotalPageCount field;
- Page 2 uses 2 stored procs. The first one returns a dataset consisting of 1 row containing the headings for the columns of the data returned from stored proc 2. There will always be the same number of columns (only their heading will be different depending on the report), and the dataset is simply displayed as is.
- The data from stored proc 2 is also displayed on Page 2. The stored proc returns a matrix, always the same number of columns, which is displayed as is. All calculations, groupings, etc. are done on the SQL Server;
- Page 3 uses the third stored proc to display totals for the matrix from the previous page. This dataset too will always have the same number of columns, and all totaling is done on the database server. Just displaying the dataset as is.
That's it. All heavy processing is done on the server.
Because of the simplicity of the report I'm baffled as to why it would take so much more time when using the Viewer than from within the Designer.

Hm. Both options WERE selected, and deselecting them caused the report to run approx. 10 seconds slower (from the Designer)...

I've not done that (yet). Mainly because CR 10.5 came with VS2008, so it was easier to test to see if I can expect an improvement regarding my problem. Up till now, I see no improvement... ;-(

According to that list I'm using a correct version with VS2008. I might consider upgrading it to CR 12, but I'm not sure what I would gain with that. Because I can't exactly determine the cause of the performance problems I can't tell whether upgrading would resolve the issue.

The amount of network traffic is extremely minimal. Two datasets (sp 1 and 3) return only 1 row containing 13 columns. The sp 2 returns the same number of columns, and (in this clients case) a dataset of only 22 rows, mainly numeric data!
> u2022 The amount of time the database server takes to process the SQL query. Crystal Reports send the SQL query to the database, the database process it, and returns the data set to Crystal Reports.
Ah. Here we get interesting details. I have been monitoring the queries fired using SQL Profiler and found that:
- ALL queries are executed twice!
- The 'data' query (sp 2) which takes the largest amount of time is even executed 3 times.
For example, this is what SQL profiler shows (not the actual trace, but edited for clarity):
Query                  Start time         Duration (ms)
sp 1 (headers)      11:39:31.283     13
sp 2 (data)            11:39:31.330     23953
sp 3 (totals)          11:39.55.313     1313
sp 1 (headers)      11:39:56.720     16
sp 2 (data)            11:39:56.890     24156
sp 3 (totals)          11:40:21.063     1266
sp 2 (data)            11:40:22.487     24013
Note that in this case I didn't trace the queries for the Viewer, but I have done just that last week. For sp2 the values run up to 9462 seconds!!!
> u2022 Where is the Record Selection evaluated? Ensure your Record Selection Formula can be translated to SQL, so that the data can be filter down to the server. If a selection formula can not be translated into the correct SQL, the data filtering will be done on the local client computer which in most cases will be much slower. One way to check if a formula function is being translated into a SQL is to look at u201CShow SQL Queryu201D in the CR designer (Database -> Show SQL Query). Many Crystal Reports formula functions cannot be translated into SQL because there may not be a standard SQL for it. For example, control structure like IF THEN ELSE cannot be translated into SQL. It will always be evaluated on the client computer. For more information on IF THEN ELSE statements see note number 1214385 in the notes database:

Not applicable in this case I'm afraid. All the report does is fetch the datasets from the various stored procs and display them; no additional processing is taking place. Also, no records are selected as this is done using the parameters which are passed on to the stored procs.
> u2022 Link tables on indexed fields whenever possible. While linking on non indexed fields is possible, it is not recommended.
Although the stored procs might not be optimal, that is beside the point here. The point is that performance of a report when run from the Designer is acceptable (roughly 30 seconds for this report) but when viewing the same report from the Viewer the performance drops dramatically, into the range of 'becoming unusable'.
The report has its dataconnection set at runtime, but it is set to the same values it had at design-time (hence the same DB server). I'm running this report connected to a stand-alone SQL Server which is a copy of the production server of my client, I'm the only user of that server, meaning there are no external disturbing factors I have to deal with. And still I'm experiencing the same problems my client has.
I really need this problem solved. So far, I've not found a single thing to blame for the bad performance, except maybe that queries are executed multiple times by the CrystalReports engine. If it didn't do that, the time required to show the report would drop by approx. 60%.

Error while viewing the shared report

Hi
After sharing a worksheet to another user and try to view the report from the other user, it displays the following error:
" A measure is missing or is invalid.

I tried to save the worksheet's dimension and shared that one too..
but cud'nt see the shared report.
The error occurs only when the other user tries to view the shared report and the same report work fines when the owner of the report views it.
Please help us out on this issue.
Thanks

Hi,
Have you made sure that the user you're trying to view the report as has select access on the underlying AW?
You can grant select on the underlying AW by logging in as it's owner and then:
grant select on AW$<awname>
where <awname> is the name of your AW.
Hope this helps.

First page appears blank when viewing a Crystal Report in the web viewer

I have seen threads and KB articles regarding this issue but the suggested solutions do not correct the issue. (KB articles [1423482 and 1439109)
The issue only started after upgrading from CR 2008 runtime to CR 2008 SP4 runtime.
When the page containing the viewer control first loads, the report pane is completely blank.
The viewer toolbars appear as expected, and the report can be exported using the Export button on the viewer toolbar without issue.
Changing the zoom level causes the first page of the report to appear as expected, and reverting the zoom level does not cause the report pane to become blank again.
Navigating to the next page of the report works and the second page appears as expected. Returning to the first page shows the first page of the report as expected.
Our application is installed on dozens of servers but this issue only has occurred on a few installations at this time.
Steps attempted to resolve the issue:
1. Uninstall CR 2008 SP4 runtime, confirm the CrystalReportViewers12 folders were removed from the folders C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727 and C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0, then reinstall CR 2008 SP4 runtime.
2. Ensure there are no underscores in the server name.
3. Change the crystalreportsviewers12 Virtual Directory to use the folder C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727\CrystalReportViewers12
4. Remove and recreate the crystalrep[ortviewers12 Virtual Directory.
5. Replace the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727\CrystalReportViewers12 folder from a server that does not exhibit the issue.
Any new ideas or suggestions? Thanks

Parameterized Views for User Reports

I would like to be able to define a view such as:
create view dept_emps(p_dept in varchar2) as
select * from emps where dept = p_dept);
and use this view to define a SQL Dev drilldown report with SQL such as:
select * from dept_emps(:DEPT)
where :DEPT is a bind variable passed from a selected depts report row.
Oracle apparently does not support parameterized view definitions as suggested above, but I have found an article by Tom Kyte on the issue of parameterizing views, where Tom suggests using DBMS_SESSION.SET_CONTEXT (called within a user package) to set context values that can be retrieved in a view using the SYS_CONTEXT function. I can get this approach to work at the SQL prompt to work around the lack of formal view parameters. I have a package which defines a procedure which sets context values that I can then retrieve within a view using the SYS_CONTEXT function.
To use this approach when defining a SQL Developer user report, the SQL for the report would need to be logically something like (which works fine at an SQL prompt):
exec ssuper_context.set_ctx('DEPT', :DEPT) - - Call user procedure to assign context variable 'DEPT' with bind value from parent report
select * from dept_emps
where view dept_emps uses function SYS_CONTEXT to return the value for context variable 'DEPT'.
SQL Developer complains about this as the SQL for a user-defined report. Can anyone suggest how I might pass a bind value from a selected parent record to a view which implements a drilldown report?
TIA Jon

I met CSI at a kongress a few weeks ago and pressed them a bit on how this works. Eventually they fezzed up about the table read but mentioned that in the next release being developed it would be different...
Problems with this is that the FM has a couple of limitations, so you cannot read all tables correctly... so you end up reading some of the wrong ones or taking the easy ones.
Another option is to let the database itself do the hard work, to get back to the performance aspect.
Anyway, for neither of these two do you need any tcode, so indeed we are drifting off topic...

Crystal Reports are not centered when viewing on Crystal Viewer

Hi
I´d like to ask you if you reported some problem of using subreports and during the visualization from the Crystal Viewer the main report and of course the subreports are not centered. I´m running Vs.Net 2005 with CR 10.
The main report and subreports access ADO.NET. Only one parameter is passed by the user. If we test the application and address the visualization to the crystal report viewer it is showed on right side even using DisplayGroupTree = False. But if we export the report to PDF it is showed centered. Is it a way to fix this one?
Any advice or suggestions?
Tks,
Isocler

When you say you're using v10 with VS2005, do you mean the full CR v10 product or the version that comes with VS.NET 2005 (version 10.2)? Make sure you're using/referencing the 10.2.* CR assemblies in your project, as the 10.0.* are not supported.
If you have the correct assemblies referenced, then make sure you have the latest patches applied. I think there may have been a fix for DIV tags.

Information from two views in one report

I posted a thread earlier but I think I was little amibiguous about my problem and posted too much info. on the background of the problem maybe I can clarify.
I have a report on a view TRK_CALLS_VIEW. This is dblinked to a table. Columns include
User_
Assigned_to
Problem
Solution
Status
Here is my region source code:
SELECT webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW.ID, webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW.USER_, webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW.ASSIGNED_TO, webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW.PROBLEM, webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW.SOLUTION, webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW.STATUS
FROM webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW
WHERE
( STATUS = 'Open' and :P2_REPORT_SEARCH is null )
or
( regexp_like( USER_ || '#' || ASSIGNED_TO || '#' || PROBLEM || '#' ||
SOLUTION || '#' || STATUS, :P2_REPORT_SEARCH, 'i' ) )
I want to include columns from another view in the report. TRK_USER_VIEW.
Columns include:
id
lname
fname
User_ from TRK_CALLS_VIEW contains the same number as id in TRK_USER_VIEW.
How would I add this to my existing code and have the names corespond to the correct id
Thanks

so in the above code you can see that both the webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW and webb.TRK_USER_VIEW have some column that are named the same. eg/ "USER_","id". That is fine as SQL has provided a means to uniquely identify the columns. When you join these two views together and try to select or reference either the USER_ or id column without specifying which view you want to get the information from then that creates ambiguity and the compiler does not know if you want the USER_ form view 1 or view 2 and thus there is an error.
To solve this issue we need to use . (dot) notation to specify the object (in this case view) which holds the column we want. We will also alias columns which share the same name. Here is how we would modify the above SQL statement:
SELECT
------ View 1 ------
       tcv.ID          "TCV_ID", -- ID has been aliased to a unique name.
       tcv.USER_,
       tcv.ASSIGNED_TO,
       tcv.PROBLEM,
       tcv.SOLUTION,
       tcv.STATUS,
------ View 2 -------
       tuv.id          "TUV_ID", -- ID has been aliased to a unique name.
       tuv.lname,
       tuv.fname
-- also i used the alias tcv and tuv so that i could refer to the views by just using the alias rather than the lengthy view name.
FROM webb.TRK_CALLS_VIEW tcv,
     webb.TRK_USER_VIEW tuv
-- This is where we JOIN the views on a key value. In this case USER_.
-- Always make sure your joins are the first portion of your where clause.
WHERE tcv.USER_ = tuv.USER_
-- I have explicetly referenced the view i want the column to come from by putting
-- "tcv." infront of each column name. This tells the compiler to use TRK_CALLS_VIEW
AND ( tcv.STATUS = 'Open' and :P2_REPORT_SEARCH is null )
   OR ( regexp_like( tcv.USER_ || '#' || tcv.ASSIGNED_TO || '#' || tcv.PROBLEM || '#' ||
      tcv.SOLUTION || '#' || tcv.STATUS, :P2_REPORT_SEARCH, 'i' ) )

How to show all view tab (Main Report and all Sub Report) in Visual FoxPro 9

I use ActiveX from Crystal Report Developer XI for viewer in Visual FoxPro 9 and I already know how to show Main Report by using command:
oRptRun=createobject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
oRptView=thisform.oleRptViewer
oRptOpen=oRptRun.OpenReport('MyReport.rpt')
oRptView.ReportSource=oRptOpen
oRptView.ViewReport
Inside the MyReport.rpt there is two subreport name :
1. MySubReport1
2. MySubReport2
My Question is :
How to show all view tab (Main Report and all Sub Report) at the 1st time we call ViewReport?
I try to using command :
oRptRun=createobject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
oRptView=thisform.oleRptViewer
oRptOpen=oRptRun.OpenReport('MyReport.rpt')
oRptSub=oRptOpen.OpenSubreport("MySubReport1")
oRptSub=oRptOpen.OpenSubreport("MySubReport2")
oRptView.ReportSource=oRptOpen
oRptView.ViewReport
but only show Main Report (view tab name : Preview)?
Did I miss any command before I call oRptView.ViewReport?

Your right, there is only one tab to view the report.
To open the subreports you will need to click on them in the main report. I don't know of a way to open them programmatically like you are doing here

View a Detailed report from a link in a General Report?

Greetings all,
I have no idea why I am confused on what I am trying to do. I have a Report that Generates a tabluar view off all tickets the actual ticket has 25 fields to be filled in, but of course on the tabular view, I only have four of the relevant fields that the user can see.
Example:
TICKETID TICKETDESCRIPTION TICKETSTATUS TICKETOWNER
0001 | Stuff Broke | Awaiting Customer | Bob
0002 | Part Missing | Open | Fred
0003 | Need Help with Stuff | Open | Sandy
What I am trying to do is create the TICKETID as a link that will open another report with all the details about the Ticket. Currently I have the report and it has a link to go and edit the fields on the form based on P12_TICKETID = #TICKETID# in the link field. But I can't find a way to link it to another report. Am I missing something? I want the user to see all the details about the ticket, but I don't want them to be able to edit the report. I guess I am not clear on how to create a selectable report based on one ticket verses a report that lists them all.
Currently the tabular report is on my Page 11 and I don't see how to reference the report fields by any P11_xxxx naming as I have tried and it tells me it can't see them.
The P12_TICKETID is the Form that analysts use to update the ticket, so I don't want the customers to access that unless there is a way to access it as a view only.
I hope that made sense and if so, could someone tell me what I am missing in my thinking. I would think this would be a standard process for APEX but I am lost on it.
Thanks in Advance.

If I understand right,you want a new report, that contains all 25 columns, but just for the selected record. There are several ways to accomplish this, including creating a form that would be read-only. To create this as a report, you need to create a new page, you can create a report on that page but use a value attribute pairs report template (this will show the label on the left and the value on the right for each column and each column going down the page, rather than across). Create a hidden item on your page to store the selected ticket_id and then link to that new page, passing #TICKETID# to the hidden item. Lastly, modify the query on your new page to include 'where ticketid = :P?_TICKETID'.
Again, you could create a classic report that just includes all 25 columns or a form and then make each item display only or the scenario I described above. Good luck.

Report views correctly in Report Viewer but on export or print, blank page inserted after every page
