Report with Prompt on Home Page

I have created a report with column prompt. I have also included this report in 'My Home Page custom report'. But when i access 'My Home Page' i dont see the Prompt, i only see the report with all columns & data. Have i skipped some step to include prompt on home page ? Thx for help

Hi,
When we display a report on the homepage, the Prompt is not shown instead a link will shown in place of the report stating 'Click here to Generated Analysis'.
Even though you have the prompt on the report it will not show on the homepage, as homepage reports are usually detailed report.
You can add filter instead of using a prompt on the report.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Reports with prompting stop working when moved from Crystal10 to crystal 11

Issue:
We are having trouble with Crystal Reports XI. It appears that the Crystal 10 runtime included the ability to process reports that used prompting. If we run the same report with the Crystal XI runtime, it fails.
I can send a sample of the report.
Error Dialog:
Title: Internet Explorer Script Error
Error Details:
An error has occurred in the script on this page
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: invalid character
Code: 0
URL: file: /// C:/Program%20Files/Business%20Objects/3.0/crystalreportsviewers11/prompting/js/promptengine_strings_en.js
Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
Yes/No
Our Configuration:
We use Merge Modules that install Crystal Reports through the browser via a CAB file that we created. It runs a setup executable
The setup executable project that installs CR XI uses the following Merge Modules:
CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm
CrystalReports11_RDC_Runtime.msm
CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (This is contrived by us from one of your hot fixes)
Observation:
When the install is finished, the folder structure under u2026. Crystalviewers11/prompting do not have any files like they do if we install the development environment.
Question:
What do we need to do to correct this situation?
*why the reports with*
*prompting stops working when it is moved from a Crystal 10 to Crystal 11*
*environment. I believe that it has something to do with Merge Modules*
*because the files under the prompting folder do not populate with the*
*merge module like they do with the full install of Crystal Reports.*
Please help.
Best Regards,

We have JDK 1.6 installed. The License Merge Module is not related to
this issue.
The files under \Program Files\Common Files\Business
Objects\3.0\crystalreportviewers11\prompting are not being installed.
If we copy files, into this folder structure the reports work.
One of the Business Object's Merge Modules should install the files
there rather than just an empty folder structure.
I got was able to figure out how to enter a customer support message.
They said that they could not support us because we were not on CRXIR2
(Crystal Reports 11 Release 2).
I found a download for CRXIR2SP4 (same thing service pack 4).
I installed it the Merge Module names changed to include a "_5"
Was:
CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm
CrystalReports11_RDC_Runtime.msm
CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (This is contrived by us from one of
your hot fixes)
Now:
CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Reportengine.msm
CrystalReports11_5_RDC_Runtime.msm
CrystalReports11_5_RDC_License.msm (should have been included)
*CrystalReports11_HotFix_Merge.msm (not needed anymore)
I will try to put a installer together with these. If this work there
will be some complexity around uninstalling the old one and installing
the new one.

Crystal report with prompts takes very long time to open in infoview BOXI3.

Crystal report with prompts takes very long time to open in infoview BOXI3.1?
Is there any way to increase the performance.

Ramsudhakar,
There are several items that could cause these slow down problems. Without knowing more about the way your environment is setup, I could cause more problems, by giving out performance tips. You would need to be more specific in your post.
What we know. BOXI3.1
What we don't know.
O/S
App. Server
Hardware Spec's
ETC.
I see that this post has been out here for some time. So if this is still a problem for you I'll try and help, if you provide more information.
Thanks

I get two tabs with my identical home page every time I open Firefox. How do I "unpin" one of them so that only one tab is populated when I open Firefox?

When I installed Firefox I inadvertently responded "yes" when asked if I wanted to "pin" my home page to the browser. l also designated that page (my Juno page) as my home page. So now whenever I open Firefox, two tabs appear with my identical home page. How do I fix it so that only one tab appears when I open Firefox?

Its not my home page, Like I said, I hae my home page also come up in a different tab (google) I also get the welcome to FF4 on a seperate tab. My home page is set to google. But I dont want the welcome screen to pop up

ReportViewerBean refreshReport behavior running report with prompt

I've been blocked trying to test this behavior: whether or not the automatic refresh (on a timer) of a report with prompt will bring up the Refresh Report Data" window, asking about current or new prompt values, requiring manual intervention on each refresh. So, I take it to the community! When a report with prompt running from the server or within the client is manually refreshed, the Refresh Report Data window comes up and must be "answered" before the actual refresh occurs. We need to have 15 second automatic refresh of the report with prompts.
Does the ReportViewerBean::refreshReport() behave in the same way (bringing up the Refresh Report Data window and blocking data refresh), or does it simply result in refreshing the query data in the report?
Thanks!

Hi,
What you have to do is to purge the data for your deski reports then refresh them and republish them and then proceed.
The other thing which may cause this is your variables.
Are you using some variables, like date, year etc?
If yes then recheck them. Sometimes these variable gets corrupted.

Embedding Crystal Reports with parameters in web page

Hi,
I have created a sample report file and configured it with a parameter field. On embedding this report file in the web page, as expected I am prompted to enter value for the parameter. After entering value and clicking OK, CrystalReportViewerServlet delegates the call to the custom JDBC connector implementation which is the data provider. However, the web page doesnu2019t show the retrieved resultset but shows a page with some text like this:
{"update":{"children":[{"children":[
{"args":{"curPage":1,"numPages":"1"},"cons":"bobj.crv.newSelectPageControl"},{"args":{"searchText":""},"cons":"bobj.crv.newSearchTextControl"}
],"cons":"bobj.crv.newToolbar"},{"args":{"displayDrilldownTab":true,"initTabIdx":0},"children":[{"args":{"isMainReport":true,"label":"Main Report","viewStateId":"1"},"children":[{"args":{"content":"\r\n
On debugging I could see, that the parameter value from the prompt is correctly passed from the CrystalReportViewerServlet to the custom Connector (i.e., the sql query is updated with the parameter value) and the connector fetches the data also.
I also tried embedding another .rpt file with few parameter fields configured (where user input values are just passed to the details section of the report for display). However on running this web page also I get the same error.
Report files with no parameter fields configured are working fine when embedded in web page.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Regards,
Ria

I would take a look at running our simple [sample application |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/307224d2-3d11-2c10-fe86-d87bab901bee&overridelayout=true]that views reports to see if you have the issue there.

Conditional Scheduling of report with Prompt values

Hi All,
My requirement is that I select some values in the dashboard prompt and get the report. Is there any methodlogy to schedule that report with having data in report according to
set prompt values on the fly that is dynamically.
We can a link below the report to schedule it but how can we pass the condition parameters? Please help.

Hi Kishore,
Thanks very much for the reply. It answers one part of the question.
I am thinking to put a text property or button below the report and is it possible to attach the report values with current prompt selection and the request is attached to the in delivery content section which means user need not pick up the delivery content only he has to schedule current report only by clicking the link or button? Can I have script for that.
To make it simple If I am the user I would like to see following:
1. I go to dashboard page and select the prompt and get the report result.
2. I have link or button below to schedule.
3. I press the button I go to delivers section.
4. I have current report attached to the delivery content with default selection or current selection.
5. I modify other parameters and schedule.
Please help me.

How do I set Firefox to ALWAYS open with my selected home page, and never show the page trying to reopen a previously opened site?

Frequently when I reopen Firefox, I am greeted with a page that wants to reopen a previously viewed site. I '''never''' want this page to come up when I open Firefox. I only want the home page to open. If I want to revisit a site, I will personally go there the normal way. This is a feature of Firefox that could just as well be permanently removed. How do I change the settings in Foxfire so I always get what I want when I open Foxfire?

Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the affected files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

What's the problem?Something is wrong ...
That is a generic error message saying there is a code error. We need a lot more information. Something along the lines of:
- operating system (incl patch level) and specifics about which Oracle XE you decided to install;
- whether your system is on a network, what kind of connection you use, etc;
- whether this is Oracle's supplied code or something you wrote or modified by hand;
- exactly what you typed to get to that point;
- whether this ever worked;
- whether you had any problem in the installation, or any logs or trace files show up.
In other words - the more details you can provide, the more we might be able to help.
(We can not see your system, watch over your shouders, or read your mind. Either you provide the details - even if you think they are irrelevant - or we assume things.)

Are we allowed to use the Web developer function in Firefox version 5.0 to edit the html source code associated with the Firefox home page?

Locking at request of OP - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/844506
Are we allowed to use the Web developer function, under the "Firefox" tab in Firefox version 5.0, to edit the html source code associated with the Firefox version 5.0 home page ( so that we can personalize the home page )? Is this legal?
Sincerely in Christ,
Russell E. Willis

Solution: (Free Download Manager)
Go here: http://codecpack.co/download/Free_Download_Manager.html and download Free Download Manager 3.8.1067 Beta 3, it works perfectly with Firefox 5.0.1
Solution: (to Google mail aka Gmail)
I have had this problem for a while since I did a previous Firefox update, where I had to force Gmail to load in Basic HTML else it's next to impossible to use it. The solution is this: simply update your Java, and Gmail will work without a problem using Standard HTML. To update your Java go here: http://www.java.com/en/ and select "Free Java Download".
And beta normally, universally, means "the not quite there yet version of the version we're aiming for" NORMALLY used during production and testing of a type of software.

Drill down Report with Prompts

I need to create a simple dashboard report in OBIEE analytics, which takes user inputs ( prompts ) for a YEAR , STATE ( & hierarchy) and displays Population
State Hierarchy is ---> State -- City --Zip code
Format of report is simple
User Input    ( Section 1 )
Year = Year123   ( Mandatory)
State = State 1 ( Optional )is
City = City1 ( Optional )    ( State will be mandatory as this drop down gets populated from State value
Population Report ( This should be initial view with a given Year input and any othe optional ones )                        Section 2
Sate
Population
     +State 1
323222
     +State 2
4343434
And drill down on State should be feasible
Questions & Issues I am facing
1 Do i have to create a dimensional hierarchy Column at Presentation layer to enbale drill down . I have the related data in 2 dimension tables ( Time & Region ) and the relation in Population Fact table
2 ) If yes , how do i pass user prompts to this report ... I was able to do using selection step for the state ..But not able to pass the City and Year
3 ) Year is not part of Report Display ..but an input ..How do i use the prompt for it .
i was able to get the report in simple table format ( no drill down ) , with prompts using isPrompted ..But i am lost with the Dimensional Hierarchy + Prompt .
4 )Is Dimensional Hierarchy needed for Drill Down ? How do i pass all the user inputs ( as above ) to it
Please suggest if there is any alternative

The problem is with drill down . We need two types of drill down action link . One for 'All' to show all values and another is for 'Y','N' values. I can use go url for this scenario however, I am using chart and the column is a measure, I cannot make the data type html otherwise chart will be blank. I cannot use condition in the first drill down as it does not show 'All' values from union. only 'Y','N' .

Master-detail reports with variable number of pages in a big report

I am designing with Reports 6.0.5.32.0 a master-detail report such as a
combination between a customer with his name, address etc, at the top of
the page (always 60% of the first page) and then as details lines with his orders.
For one customer seems relatively OK with the variable number of pages in accordance with the number of his orders.
When the main query finds more customers I present always the customer at the top of
a new page (that's easy), but how can I control the number of the next pages for the orders, variable for every customer.
I can not predict how many pages are necessary for a customer and white pages are
not desirable. When the number of Max. Vertical Body Pages is too low I can get the next pages for every customer, but appears an
uncontrollable shift to the left.
For instance, a customer with 40 orders needs 3 pages, one with 4 orders only 1 page, one with 15 orders 2 pages, etc.
What's the magic property for a secure and precise layout?

Hi Andreas,
did you try setting vertical spacing to expand or variable on master repeating frame (and posible other frames surrounding master repeating frame)?
Hope this helps
