CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi
I created a report with 5 dynamic parameter in CR XI. There are total 6 SQL command . First one is used for the report purpose and rest is for parameter of the report. There SQL commands are not linked to each other. Performnce of the report is very slow. Data is coming fine on the report. The Command one is returning around 50000 records.
Paramter are used in record selction to further filter the records
Please help how i can increase the performance .

eeekwhy don't you create 5 business view objects based on each of your dynamic promptsthis way you can share these parameters in other reports instead of having them all imbedded inside a single reportyou should also be able to schedule the list of values too so they will load faster

Calling a report that have dynamic parameter from vba

How many tables is there in the report? And, do you have any subreports? I'd recommend gaining experience with this by creating as simple a report as possible - one table - one field, create a recordset, pass that to this report. Does it work? It should. Now we have a bit of confidence and experience, so increase the complexity. But let me know answers to the two Qs above.

Uploading reports that use dynamic parameter values

Post Author: singhal
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,
I am having difficulty using Crystal Reports Server XI to deploy reports that were made in Crystal Reports XI.
When I create a report that uses a dynamic parameter listing, I get the follow error when I try to install it onto the server:
Failed to read data from report file C:\WINDOWS\Temp\myreport.rpt. Reason: Failed to read parameter object
But if I were to use a static parameter listing, the server will load up the report just fine. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong and I need to do to fix the problem. As many details as possible would be helpful.
Thanks,
Back

Does the issue happen with the built in administrator account? I believe this is a permissions issue and the permissions need to be set in business views.

How to handle multiple reports with single hyperlink parameter

Please suggest in my drill down report
i have two reports linked with one hyperlink
parameter, how to handle this?
please suggest for popup window with sample solution.
for example
report A--->B--->Chosse Report c or D
based on parameter hyperlink at report B.
Thanks in advance
Raj

Yes U R correct, that
I'm using srw.set_hyperlink in plsql format trigger
to open other reports , now the problem is
how to carry over the hyperlink parameter to popup window
and allow user to choose any reports based on the
parameter value.
for example
report A (Sales person summmary report)
|
| (choose sales person drilled to orders report B)
|
B (report has the hyperlink on order no)
|
|
C,D,E (many reports based on order no
customer,order details,pending items
to be shipped)
Now how to handle the situation from b to c,d,e
I suggest use hyperlink at B to open popup to show
reports C,D,E with the order no has parameter.
please suggest for javascript to open popup window
for reports c,d,e.
Thanks

Converting a Crystal Report with Many Sub-Reports into CF Report Builder

I am trying to rewrite a Crystal Reports report which has 11
subreports in CF Report Builder. In the CR report, each subreport
has it's own report footer seciton. I have not been able to find
anything in CF Report Builder that allows me to do the same. Is CF
Report Builder capable of producing a report with multiple
subreports?

Having successfully created a report with 5 or 6 subreports
(with each sub-report containing a multiple sub-sub reports) I can
say with confidence, "Yes you can." However the real question you
should ask is, "
Should I create a report with multiple sub-reports in CF
ReportBuilder?" And the answer to that is.... NO, WHAT ARE YOU
CRAZY!
If you have something that works in Crystal Reports I would
suggest you stick with that. Otherwise you're setting yourself up
for a lot of headaches. Now maybe it was because I started using
the report builder that came with MX7, but it seems there are still
quite of few bugs that will leave you shaking your fist at your
computer. If however you do continue and do the CF Report Builder
route, be prepared for your application to crash unexpectedly, and
for many things to not work they way you expect them to. And if you
ever need help good luck. Take the fact that you had difficulty
finding good documentation as a sign of how little Adobe supports
this product.
CF Report Builder is fine for very simple reports, but don't
get fancy with it, you'll only regret your decision in the
end.

Start NetWeaver 7.10 with many dynamic WP fails

Hello,
we have upgraded a system to Netweaver 7.10 and are now testing the possibilities of dynamic Workprocesses, since they are very interesting to us. According to the SAP, a max. number of 600 dynamic Workprocesses is possible.
We can configure up to 240 Workprocesses (rdisp/wp_max_no=240) and start the application server without any problems.
If we configure over 240 dynamic Workprocesses (e.g. rdisp/wp_max_no=241 or more), the dispatcher fails with the following error message:
ERROR => EvtCreate: Variable Event Keys exhausted [evtux.c      612]

Hi André,
how many WP will really use is not sure yet. Right now we are just testing the usage of those dynamic WP, since our main system is not upgraded yet.
On our productive system we have 9 application server with about 600 Users on each server. Additionally we have quite a lot of RFC-load coming in from outside, with tendency rising.
I try to explain a bit of our "problem":
We are a bank, therefore specially days like the first day of a new quarter or a new year is tricky. On those days the nightly processing might run into the morning and the rfc load is very high. On those days it would be very helpful to be able to have more WP available.
I am sure you - as a customer of a bank - would not be very happy if you wouldn't be able to use your online banking on those days, which could happen if not enough WP are available at peak time.
In addition to that, we think about reducing the number of our application servers to not only reduce administration overhead but also to get a better spreading of load on our DB2-Members and Host-Lpars. This is only possible if we are able to configure more than 100 WP per server.
I hope this gave you a little insight.
Greetings,
Silke

Crystal reports with static list parameter : blank dropdown menu

Hi,
I've created a very simple report displaying customer order (ordr and rdr1)
it has :
parameter DocKey@ used in the selection formula    DocKey@=DocEntry
It also has another parameter : static list with 2 entries
      - 1 : normal presentation
      - 2 : proforma presentation
The user has to choose between option 1 or 2 before displaying the report
Using the report in the Crystal application is OK : i can choose between option 1 and 2 in a dropdown list
If i use the Addin Menu // preview in SAP : i can choose in the dropdown menu
If i import my report in SAP and i try to preview it : the dropdown menu is empty and i cannot select anything
Anyone has the same problem ?
I use SAp SBO 8.8 pl 00 hotfix 14
I 've the same report worrking on a sap sbo 8.8 sp 00 pl 11
thanks for your help

Hi and thanks for your help
I've tried with and without default values : no changes
I've tested with the last pl (18) and it works fine : no blank dropdown menu , i can select a value for my static parameter !

Interactive Report with many columns scroll possibility?

Hello,
i have an interactive report that has many columns. As so they cannot fit into a page and a scroll bar is used in the bottom of screen, which is not a desired effect.
What i would like to do (if it's possible) is to have a scroll bar before the pager. Up to now i have found a "fix" for this problem but after the pager and it does scroll the rendering of the report but the pagers' also. My solution is to put the following code in the Region Definition, in Header and Footer group, in Header:
<style type="text/css">
#apexir_DATA_PANEL {
clear:both;
width:1220px;
height:650px;
overflow:auto;
</style>
That was in 3.2. Is there any other option/possibility or idea now with 4.0 ?
TIA

Hi TIA,
I hope that following link will help you in regards to your query:
Jon Fortney implemented and blogged on it: http://jfortney.blogspot.com/
Alternatively, you can use ExtJS Grid or jQGrid functionality.
This might help, Horizontal Scrollbar required in Interactive Report

CRVS2010 Beta - Report with many tables

Hi,
I was developing my application first with a test Database with few tables. Now that I am changing to the actual database (with about 200 tables) I noticed that the ReportDocument takes a really long time to load when I tried to access the DataDefinition for the first time.
Is there one way to avoid this?? The tables are all there because I need to have the option the select the table that I wanna use in the application, but after this I just use the table chosen and the linked tables in the Report.
thanks

OK where to start...
First the act of adding 200 tables, and I assume none of them are linked is the first problem you are going to have. CR is a relational database reporting tool. Not linking tables generates multiple SELECT statements.
If you only need one or two then use RAS to add the tables and then the fields, Bascially you are creating the report designer for your users. All of the user interface needs to be created by you.
There may be one option that could help but what you are doing is likely never going to be fast....
Open regedit32.exe and go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Crystal Reports Designer Component\DatabaseOptions
In there you'll find a key called - DoAutoSmartLinking
Set the value to No
What that key does is when a report is open CR tries to link all tables and all fields.
Good luck

Sum of average in report with many joins

hello all. i have read a few other threads that are similar to my situation but nothing i've found that helps my specific situation. it is probably in part to my lack of expertise but i am pretty much a newbie here so go easy on me.
in summary, i have an employee table (em), a rooms table (rm), and an organizational hierarchy table (org_hier). em and rm tables are joined on the building, floor, and room fields that are in each table. org_hier table can be linked to either em or rm.
basically i am just trying to take the average area of each room (rm.area). here may be multiple occupants in a room and i don't want rm.area to be counted more than once which is the reason for the average. i then want a sum of that average at each level of the org hierarchy by using groups and a grand total at the end. the trick is that i am only looking for rooms that house certain employees, restricted by the em.em_id. that is the only reason for the em table being included.
would you all suggest using subreports somehow or is there a SQL function that would work best? let me know if i am being too vague here. what should my joins be?
thanks in advance,
js

thanks Sharon. i think i'm getting closer to what i need.
should i use the same running total in each group or will i need to create a new running total for each grouping? should the running total evaluate on each record and reset on change of rm.rm_id? is a manual running total different?
right now i am getting the right values at the room level but it is totalling all records of the room area at the floor level, not just the one instance.
i can email a screenshot if it is helpful. thanks for your help so far!

Dynamic Parameters in Action
My question is that whether dynamic parameter is working with storedprocedure or not.
When i added one table and try to fetch records using dyanmic prameters. after that i am not be able to find the dynamic parameter option when i referesh my report.
One more thing when i try the static parameter for my report, the option i see when i referesh the screen.
Please reply soon , it's urgent

Hi Kishore,
I have tested the issue step by step by following you description, while the first issue works well in my local environment. Based on my research, this can be caused by the lookup expression or it indeed return Male value based on the logic. If you use the
expression below, it will indeed only return the Male record. So please try to double-check the record in the two datasets and the expression in your environment:
=lookup(first(Fields!ProgramID.Value,"DataSet1"),Fields!ProgramID.Value,Fields!Gender.Value,"DataSet2")
As to the second issue, please try to use the following expression:
=Count(Lookup(fields!ProgramID.value,fields!ProgramID.value,fields!Gender.value,"DataSet2"))
Besides, if this issue still exist, in order to trouble shoot this issue more efficiently, could you please post both the .rdl file with all the size properties to us by the following E-mail address? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

Crystal Report Dynamic Parameter for SAP B1 version 8.8

Hi, does anyone have problem with the dynamic parameter prompt for Crystal Report in SAP B1 version 8.8?
For example:
1. For static parameter that allows multiple value --> In SAP B1 v8.8, there is a check-box and a "..." button next to it. When you click the "..." button, a new window appear with a list of values to choose.
2. For static parameter that does not allow multiple value --> In SAP B1 v8.8, there is one field with a drop-down menu.
3. For dynamic parameter that allows multiple value and does not allow range values --> In SAP B1 v8.8, just one field for us to key in the value. Shouldn't this be the same as No. 1?
4. For dynamic parameter that does not allow multiple value and does not allow range values --> In SAP B1 v8.8, same as No.3 above. Shouldn't this be the same as No. 2?
How do I get no. 3 dynamic parameter that allows multiple value and does not allow range values to have a check-box and a "..." button next to it to allow us to select multiple values?

Hi Shwu Hua Gan,
Thank you for your reply.
Please forgive me as I don't really understand what you are saying here. To be honest, I'm very new to Crystal Report and my understanding of CR is just the very basics. I'm actually not from a technical background which makes it more difficult.
In your reply:
Ie, you create a parameter in Crystal report, and by using the token eg:Mytest@select * from OCRD, it gives you the benefits of selecting the list from the database.
How do you do this by using the token? All I did is just select the parameter type (dynamic) and then select the table. When I preview the report in SAP B1 8.8, it doesn't prompt me like how I expect it to be. It is a blank field that I have to key in the value myself and then only the report will generate. Sometimes I don't remember what value to key in, so I have to do a formatted search for the blank field. After the report is generated, I can reselect the value (multiple values) from the CR viewer panel toolbar and refresh the report.

IMPORT from database with dynamic parameter list

Hi Gurus,
Iu2019m having problems during import from a cluster table.
I wanu2019t to do an import with a dynamic parameter list, but I cannot get it to work.
Sample code ********
DATA: BEGIN OF st_key,
report LIKE rsvar-report,
variant LIKE rsvar-variant,
END OF st_key.
DATA dirtab1 LIKE cdir OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA dirtab2 LIKE cdir OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
st_key-report = 'ZPRG'.
st_key-variant = 'VAR1'.
IMPORT DIRECTORY INTO dirtab1 FROM DATABASE vari(vb) ID st_key.
IMPORT DIRECTORY INTO dirtab2 FROM DATABASE vari(va) ID st_key.
DATA: tmp_var(100) TYPE c.
This works - P_BWTAR is a parameter from the selection screen registred in VARI
I'm getting the content of the field in tmp_var
IMPORT p_bwtar TO tmp_var FROM DATABASE vari(va) ID st_key.
This does not work - the parameter P_BWTAR is in the dirtab2-name
I'm not getting the content
LOOP AT dirtab2.
IMPORT dirtab2-name FROM DATABASE vari(va) ID st_key.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
I have tried the syntax IMPORT (dirtab2-name) ........
but this fails the syntax check.
Please - if you have any suggestions :o)
Best Regards,
Vibeke
