Linux - Oracle - Crystal Report Server XI : Error in File Report1: Failed to load database information.

I am using Crystal Reports Server XI on Linux Server with Oracle Server 10g.
I did install Oracle Client on Report Server and config Oracle SID in tnsnames.ora also. It works well with tnsping command. Then, I published a report which was created in Crystal Reports developer on this server.
When I preview the report on Report Server. I got the following error message:
Error in File Report1: Failed to load database information.
Try to fix the problem I ran web Central Management Console -> Objects ->Report1->Process -> Database and set there the following parameters:
Database driver: Oracle
Server: servers_host_name
Database: (tried both ORACLE_SID and tns_name)
User: oracle_user_name
Password: oracle_pw
It still got the same problem.
I will appreciate any help.

I was having a similar problem in Crystal Reports Server 2008 v1, and had to install the full client to resolve it, which I didn't like. I poked around some, and was able to get the Instant Client working with a few minor changes. Note that I tried it only with the 32-bit Instant Client even though I was on a 64-bit system because that was what SAP recommended when I talked to them.
The changes I had to do was initialize the Oracle environment variables (the instant client doesn't have a script to do this for you) and to create a soft-link which is included in the full client, but not in the instant client.
To setup the environment variables I created a file called env.sh and put it in /opt/crystal/bobje/setup/oracle/, where /opt/crystal was my install path. This ensured that it got called by the /opt/crystal/bobje/setup/env.sh script which runs as part of the System init scripts to initialize the environment. The following is what I put in my file (again for the 32-bit 11g R2 instant client):
     export ORACLE_SID=summitdb
     export ORACLE_HOME='/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client'
     export ORACLE_BASE='/usr/lib/oracle/'
     export TNS_ADMIN='/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/network/admin'
     export PATH="$:/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/bin"
     export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$$/usr/lib/oracle/11.2/client/lib"
After that, I created the missing soft link using this command:
     ln -s "$/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1" "$/lib/libclntsh.so.10.1"
Once I had done those two things, and restarted the service using the /etc/init.d script, it worked fine.

Navigation issue in OBIEE 11g from report1 to report2

Hi All,
I am in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2, I have a two reports report1 and report 2
report 1 is like this (i.e it contains fields from Emp1 dim table and fact table)
Emp1.EmpCode| Emp1.Empname| fact.Revenue
1|David|100
2|Jim|200
3|Terry|500
report 2 is like this (ie it contains fields from Emp2 dim table, Sales dim table and fact table)
Emp2.Empname|Sales.Salesnumber|fact.revenue
David|222|25
David|333|75
Jim|888|150
Jim|999|50
Terry|666|400
Terry|666|100
This is the issue,
I need to have a navigation on the revenue column of report1, so that it passes the value of Emp1.Empname to report2 (on other dashboard page) and displays me the report for that employee only. So for eg, if i click on '100' in report 1, it should pass the value of David to report2 and show me rows corresponding to David only. The issue is my Emp1 table and Emp2 table are two different tables, they just have Empname field in common. If it would have been same table in both the reports, I would have done Empname column "is prompted" in report2.
But How can I do that in this case? is there any way to take the value is some kind of variable and apply it to report2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

Thanks Veeravalli,
But in mater detail view too, If I make Emp1.empname column as master, I will have to include the same column in the detail view too so as to limit the detail report on the basis of empname.
But in my case, I have Emp2.empname ( a different table) in my report2 which I want to limit on the basis on Emp1.empname column. Can I create a master detail report in which master column in Emp1.empname and detail column ( which is listening) is Emp2.empname?
I hope you got my point.
Thanks,
Ronny

Set results of Report1 as filters/prompts for Query3

Hi everybody.
Unfortunately I tried to find a solution to my problem in this forum, but I couldn't find anything similar. Therefore I'd like to post the problem as a new thread.
Here it is:
I have a Query1, which leads to a Report1, that contains lets say 15 entries, in my case passenger cars. Each of those passenger cars has 5 different attributes, like manufactuerer code, mileage, age, listprice and damages. Mileage, age, listprice and damages are being rounded to 1000-Euros.
I have another Query2, that contains a Report2 with sold vehicles, around 5.000 entries. All of those entries also have the same attributes, as seen in Report1.
Now I'd like to create a Query3, that takes the results of Report1 as filters/prompts. Report3 should basiclally show Report1, but with additional averages of sales prices, may be even for different sales channels (cross-tab?!).
I've editing rights to our WebIntelligence client, so I can create WebI queries. I have neither access to the BO universe, nor am I an administrator for this universe.
Can anyone help? THX
Sven

The only way I can think of to achieve it is by using a subquery in Query3.
Let's say this is your Query1:
Objects:
class1_dimension_car, class1_damages
Filters:
    class1_my_date equal to 'Prompt insert a date'
and
    class1_my_company equal to 'Prompt insert a company id'
Then your Query3 should be like this:
Objects:
class2_dimension_car, class2_averages
Filters:
    my_date equal to 'Prompt insert a date'
and
    my_company equal to 'Prompt insert a company id'
and
   class2_dimension_car in ( --this is a subquery, it is inserted with subquery button)
                        ( class1_dimension_car
                                class1_my_date equal to 'Prompt insert a date'
                             and
                                class1_my_company equal to 'Prompt insert a company id'
Note that this subquery is almost equal to Query1

Pass values from report1 to report2 but without displaying the web element

Need to pass a string value from report1 to report2.This can be done by using web elements. But in that case the web element is showing up when we run report1.So what is the way to avoid display of web element but still pass the value to report 2.
Thanks

if you have no need for webelements controls on a report and just need a simple hyperlink, use opendocument syntax in conjunction with an object's hyperlink properties in the formatting editor.
see your online help for more info on opedocument.

There is a webi report "Report1" and "Report2" by mistake "Report2" is been saved as "Report1" . Now is there any option to get back original report "Report1" from server?

Need help....

Hi,
Now again transport Report 1 From Dev/QA system to Prod.
I dont think there is a possibility to get Report 1 in Prod system other than re-import from DEV/QA
Hope this Helps,

Captilization Report1

hi SAP Gurus,
I am looking at Capitalization report and on this report I see only 1 Cost there in the report and field called Addition Cost in legacy. Can anyone help me what cost it can be on the capitalization report. It's the only 1 cost listed there though. What table and field name should I be using in SAP?
On the Adjustment Reports:
I see the Adjustment Cost and the Tax adjustment cost field name in the legacy, but ideally what field it would be in the SAP along with the Table name?
Very important!
Thanks in advance.

ohhh those buggers... of course!
Thank you

Printing REPORT1 to Tray1, REPORT2 to Tray2

I am trying to automate two different reports so that
one Reports Paper Source is TRAY1 and the Other Reports
Paper Source is TRAY2. I have tryed using printer definition
files with escape sequences, but they only seem to work when
DESTYPE=file. I need DESTYPE=PRINTER to work for this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated,
Ken

how about the built-in srw.set_printer_tray
from the 6i online help :
Description This procedure specifies the name of a valid
printer tray and can be used to switch to different printer
trays as your report formats.
Syntax
SRW.SET_PRINTER_TRAY('tray');
Parameters
tray Is the name of a valid printer tray and can be used to
switch to different printer trays as your report formats.
Usage Notes
n If you use SRW.SET_PRINTER_TRAY in the Format Trigger of
an object, the printer tray will be changed on the page where
the object is printed. The printer tray you specify remains in
effect until you change it in a subsequent trigger.

Report Generation for Excel does not work after using the Application Builder

I have a VI that writes data to an Excel file using the Report Generation Toolkit. I recently compiled the VI into a single Application (EXE) using the Application Builder. My VI runs its tests properly, but no data is written to Excel. What could be the cause? I don't receive any error messages.

Hi
I usually build exe-files, which sometimes also have report functionality.
Open the Application Builder and check the following things:
1. Add the following vis: _Word Dynamic VIs.vi, _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi They should be located in the directory ..\LabVIEW X.X\vi.lib\addons\_office in the llbs _wordsub.llb and _exclsub.llb (report1.jpg)
2. If you use an Installer, go to the Advanced Settings. There you can select some things to include in the Installer. Check if "NI Reports Support" is selected. (report2.jpg)
These are the things I always do, if I need reports and I never had problems up to now. I made two screen-shots of these settings.
Hope this helps.

How to read,dispaly and open pdf files

Hi, I am very new to Java butI have VB6.0 background. My current requirement is to read pdf file names from a directory, then
show them on a form in a list (with their path in background pointing to the actual pdf files) and then once a user clicks any
file name, open that file on the form.
For example:
My pdf files are in a directory as following:
C:\myreports\user1\
report1.pdf
report2.pdf
report3.pdf
C:\myreports\user2\
report1.pdf
report5.pdf
The output on the form should look like this if user1 has logged in the system. Side note: I am able to get userid of the logged in person in a variable.
My Reports:
. Report 1
. Report 2
. Report 3
When a user clicks Report 1, it opens on the same form in pdf format.
Thanks
S.yhong

For the first part (Listing thepdf files in the directory) you can use the java.lang.File class.
File f = new File("path to your directory");
File files[] = f.listFiles();
then process the files array to find the files with extenction pdf
You can also use a file filter object and make the listFiles method return only the pdf files.
Please read the documentation about the File class for more info about it.
*/ For the displaying the pdf part is it good enough if you load the accrobat reader and with it. In that case you can do that using the Runtime.exec
Also you can search for free java based pdf viewers I am sure there must be meny.
And also the JTextPane might support pdf but I am not sure about it.
EDIT:
Just to say that this is my 1000th post :)

Can you open a report in Excel/Word desktop instead of the web pugin?

using run_report_object( and web.show_document,
how or can you get a report to open in the desktop/full version of MS Excel/Word instead of the web plugin versions?
I can get the browser to open a report in pdf with my desktop adobe reader, but not with an rtf or xml/delimited desformat.
Currently I don't pass a mimetype when opening as a pdf, but I do pass one in the url when i am destypes of xml, delimited and rtf,
as this is the only way i have found out how to open the reports in word/excel.
I'm in the process of upgrading from forms 6 client/server to 10g developer suite, so this is my try with a web based system.

What you could try is downloading the report to the client pc using WEBUTIL_FILETRANSFER.URL_TO_CLIENT, then open the locally save file using something like:
CLIENT_HOST('cmd /c rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "localfilename"');

Please help me to find out the exact problem.
Also tell me how can i show all the pages of Database records in a report( while one record on each page)

As for the error while saving, you have only one possible thing to try. It it doesn't work, you're sunk.
Assuming the report was not being newly created, i.e. that it was opened from a file on your system, then rename that file to something else (Report_001_OLD.rdf, for example). Then try to save it - Reports will think it is a new file to be saved rather than an existing file to be updated.
Again, if that doesn't work, and if you do not have the auto-save option turned on, then you're sunk. You will have just lost all of the work you've put into that report.
As you'll discover, Reports is not the most robust application ever written.

Viewing Crystal 2008 ActiveX on Access 2007 forms

Ok, i am a little confused as there seems to be a some doubt whether Crystal 2008 ActiveX can be used on Access forms. Another thread even has a reply that mentions that the ActiveX control is no longer included in Crystal Reports 2008..... Take a look at this, you can clearly see i have embedded the 2008 ActiveX control onto an Access form. link:[http://www.moktar.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/AX.JPG]
I have just installed 2008 and will get round to looking at this, however in my brief look, i couldnt see the run time library for 2008. By all accounts you can freely distribute the run time files for Crystal Reports 2008 as MSI or exe packages to your clients. I hope this is the case and i can get the ActiveX working.
If anyone has some information on this subject i will welcome reading it.
This is how its used to be done;
1) Open the Access form in design view.
2) Click on Add Tool button on the toolbar.
3) Select Crystal Reports ActiveX toolbar control from the list of controls.
4) Place the control on the form.
5) Click on the View Code toolbar button to open the code for the form
6) Choose u2018Referencesu2019 from the u2018Toolsu2019 menu
7) Select u2018Crystal Reports ActiveX Design and Runtime Library 11.Xu2019 from the list of references and add to the project.
8) On the Form_Load() event, please use the code given below to pass the report to the viewer:
Dim crReport as CRAXDRT.Report
Dim crApplication as New CRAXDRT.Application
u2018 Use the appropriate path for the report
Set crReport = crApplication.OpenReport(u201CC:\Report1.rptu201D)
u2018 ReportSource property and ViewReport method will not be displayed on the viewer control
CrystalActiveXReportViewer0.ReportSource = crReport
CrystalActiveXReportViewer0.ViewReport
'Hey Presto, the Crystal control on the Access form is now displaying a report. However, you had the age old issue of distributing the runtime files to clients that dont have crystal reports installed, and even more so of an issue, as this is Access and no method of doing it. I was hoping that 2008 with its MSI and EXE versions of the runtime files would solve this age old problem.
Thanks
Simon.

Hello Simon,
The RDC was retired after Crystal Reports XI R2 and no longer exists in CR 2008.
The viewer control you are seeing is not meant for RDC applications.
You will need to move to Java or .NET if you plan on using CR 2008.
Best Regards,
Jason
