The Picture of OLE object in the report can't be printed, and how to sovle dynamic OLE object based on path

Hi, everybody, I have a problem which the picture in the report can't be printed.I want to display some pictures in the reports and print them.So I insert the picture as OLE object, select the graph format and set graph location fomular with the path of the picture which is stored in the local machine. I run the system and generate the report, the picture is displayed correctly in the report, but when i print the report using ie's tool, the picture is gone and replaced with a little red mark. I want to use the new feature of dynamic graph location about the crystal report xi version, but I don't know where I should put the picture into on the web server and what the path is . Because my web server is installed in the another machine.I check the view source of html report and find that the system searches the picture under the crystalreportviewer11 folder on the web server.

Need to give the web server access to the folder

How to display image is in result of query to MS Access database

How can i display image (ole db) from MS Access database?
I tried to do it throw streams but i have a package not a image. Also i trued to save image as a stream of characteristics but the image doesn't create.
thnks

Normally to construct an image in java you need the image data.
If you have stored the image as a OLE object it may include additional data which make it imposible to identify the image data from java side.
You need to find a way extract actual data from the ole object.

Use of OLE Objects with the Publisher tool

Our company is trying to put user guides, screen shots, report examples, etc. on the BPMN diagrams that we are creating. I am wondering if anyone has figured out a good way to get multi-page documents to show up as icons which can be clicked from the Business Process Publisher web client. The normal OLE's work decently for users with BPA installed, but they are not hyperlinked in the Web Client. One option I tried was simply displaying the OLE not as an icon, but simply as it's own diagram in BPA, so it would be available that way, but the problem there is it only shows the first page, and it doesn't allow it to be linked to from an icon, it only uses the assignment icon. Any ideas? Best practices?

HI Chris
there are link attributes which let you browse and choose a file as link.
when you create a web export, the files choosen as links for attributes are also exported on Business publisher.
One of the three profiles you choose when doing a web export support files being copied on BP server

Business Objects Enterprise and publishing Access Database reports

Hi,
I have searched the forum but cannot find anything to help me so any help would be appreciated
I have an access database on a shared drive that I want to publish a report for.
On the BO server I created a system DSN to the database through a mapped drive.
I use the publishing wizard to configure the report but I am getting the following error when I try and run the report:
Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. Details: [Database Vendor Code: -1023 ]
I have also gone in on the Business View Manager and created the connection and it connects successfully.
I have successfully published Sybase and SQL reports but I just cannot get the connection to the Access Database to work.
Thanks in advance,
Sinead

Try using UNC to point to the database. In other words,
servername\sharepoint.
Also, make sure the service account of the server processing the report (I don't think you mentioned what type of report it was) is running under a domain user account that has access to the share (rather than the default local system). You can set this in the CCM.

Retrieving records from the MS-Access database

Hi,
I am capturing an user input from a text field into a variable called 'valAuthor' and then using it in the following query statement.
stmt.executeQuery("Select * from BksTable where AUTHOR = 'valAuthor'");
But for some reason the records are not getting selected. I tried the above by replacing another field and another variable but it is the same. I checked for the variable 'valAuthor' to see if it contains a valid value before and after the statement and it does.
Say for an example the 'valAuthor' contains a value "Grisham" and when I operate the statement as:
stmt.executeQuery("Select * from BksTable where AUTHOR = 'Grisham'");
it works fine. I even tried to replace the = sign with LIKE. But no luck and I have spent morethan 10 hours on this and feel depressed. Any help, please?
I am using MS-Access 2002.

Hi all
Just a bit more explaining here about parsing
statement.A bit more explaination about the real world.
>
When executing a query, EX "Select col1 from tab1
where col2 = 'ABC'" will be parsed the first time it
is executed.It might be. It depends on the database and driver.
And with Access it doesn't.
>
If I now execute the same query, EX "Select col1 from
tab1 where col2 = 'DEF'" it will be parsed again!.
Remember it looks at the complete string that is the
query statement and because query 1 and query 2 has
different character in it it will cause a new parsing
action. Even upper/lower case changes will do this.
Using preparedstatement will force the compiler to use
Bind variables, thus substituting the value of the
variable only. Thus only the first query will be
parsed if it is not in the SGA yet. Subsequent will
not parse the query string as it is already in the
SGA.
It doesn't have anything to do with the java compiler.
The effort to use PS can be wieghed against the number
of expected executions. If the query will be run one
or two times per day, no problem. If running more than
say 4000 times per day, big performance impact.
Remember the SGA will remove the oldest parsed
statement to make place for a new statement that is
parsed, thus once the SGA's sql area is full, you will
have a lot of statements removed that can be a big
overhead to parse again if they are needed.
Yes. And the most likely time that the cache will flush is in an enterprise system where using a prepared statement would have the most impact.
Holding on to a prepared statement to do 4000 for the entire day is NOT a good idea.
Holding on to one while you process a batch of 4000 might be.
Do a select from the SQL area of the SGA and check.
Bottom line, PS is the preferred option for
perfomance.How do you do a select in MS Access for the SGA?

Hi all, i'm trying to import a spreadsheet into a tabular model and getting this stupid error even though the impersonation account i'm using is an admin account with full access to the file. ANY IDEAS? I hate these stupid permission related issues!!!
Thanks for your help.

Hi, I know the post is old, but I'm having this problem and maybe you could eleborate a bit.
What are the steps to get this done?
What worked for me is to go to the Excel file, right click and add the MSOLAP user. But this is a manual process, I have many excel files. I don't want to do this to each one. Is there a way to do this in one go?
Thank you
Try creating a folder for all the files you want to import. Give the MSOLAP user permission to read that folder then copy your excel files in there.
However apart from prototypes I rarely do direct imports of Excel files. For any ongoing project I always stage them in a SQL Server table using SSIS. There are just too many things that can go wrong with Excel files, like people locking the file by leaving
it open. Or changing the file by adding extra columns or putting string values in numeric columns. I find that in SSIS I can build a lot more robust data flows to handle this sort of thing.

Retreiving OLE objects in JSP

I have designed a database containing employee records.I have also stored pictures of employees as OLE objects in my database and i am using MS ACCESS as database.Now i need to retreive those stored pictures on a JSP.For that i require appropriate method of cursor to retreive the images stored as OLE objects..!!
How can i do that?
Or is there any other method of storing images in MS ACCESS and retreiving the same in JSP?

not.
You're not supposed to do anything with databases in JSP.
You're also supposed to learn a lot more about JSP than you now know, as you seem under the impression that you can return binary and text data in the same response and have it all show up correctly.

'Hiding' linked OLE objects

Post Author: david76r
CA Forum: General
Hi There,
I'm using Crystal 9 to create PeopleSoft checks. For security purposes, we would like the signature images to appear only when the report has access to the linked image, which is on a floppy disk. i.e, no disk, no signatures.
I have inserted the images as linked OLE objects, however, the images are showing up even though the disk/source is not present. Could someone advise as to how to make this images show only when the source is available?
thanks

Older versions of Crystal reports would only update the OLE images when the report was opened. Later versions allow you to use a database field with a path to link the objects through.

Using Access to store OLE objects like Excel , Word docs and retrieve them

Hi folks,
I need a solution for this problem guys.
The logic is like this : A portable exe file and a database. Database contains files stored ( embedded ) in it like Excel , Word , notepad etc.
On running the exe file and giving necessary prompts or combo entries, it should display all files related to the selection and On clicking the link the document should open itself.
Why I use Access : Most of the PC contains MS Office. Otherwise I have to use a lightweight protable database.
Also it should be able to store files into it. As far as I know , Access can store excel and images etc. Is there any other protable db capable of storing excel and word docs.
After storing how do I retrieve the file. I have read about displaying images. What about excel files...

Portable as in the sense every one can cary the file and the MS access database and can access data whenever they want . They can carry it in their flash drive / USB drive. Only the data base would get updated with the data. So in effect , One could access the updated documents by the means of a query.
This should work in Windows environment

Disable manipulation of OLE Objects in Previewer

Hello to all,
I've developed several reports containing OLE objects stored in tables. These maybe Word Docs, Excel Sheets, images, etc. The OLE objects are displayed in the previewer / printout correctly. But when you doubleclick on an OLE object in the Previewer the OLE server app starts and you can manipulate these objects. When you return to the Previewer these changes can be printed but are not stored in the database (which is alright). Now here is my problem : as these printouts represent electronically signed documents, no change in its contents is allowed. How can i prevent the user form changing these objects ?
I hope I made my problem clear. Thanks to anyone who can help.
Regards,
Kai

Hi,
What is your Apex version?
Is your Apex instance runtime environment or can you login to INTERNAL workspace?
See this for Apex 4. Document do not say how disable demonstration app creation on runtime environment.

OLE objects & scaning in Acrobat 8.0

Hello!
In forums (May 3, 2007) I have read the question:
" How to avoid dialogue of saving in a file before scanning in Acrobat 8"?
Leonard Rosenthol has answered, that there is no way because
now developers changed from "Scan & Save" to "Save & Scan".
It is very surprising!!!
I have the application which uses OLE automation for scanning documents in Acrobat and place them in
database as OLE objects.
In database the object is created on the basis of an PDF file with one empty page and then activated in
window of Acrobat.
Then menu item "Scan" is carried out.
Fragment of VBA code (properly work in Acrobat 6):
Set GL.Acr = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
GL.Acr.Show
GL.Acr.Minimize 0
Me!DocImage.Class = "AcroExch.Document" 'set class of OLE object
Me!DocImage.SourceDoc = "c:\applicants\empty.pdf" 'source file with empty sheet
Me!DocImage.Action = acOLECreateEmbed 'creation on basis of source file
Me!DocImage.Verb = acOLEVerbOpen 'command - open
Me!DocImage.Action = acOLEActivate 'activation in Acrobat
ScanExe = GL.Acr.MenuitemExecute("Scan")
If ScanExe = False Then
But Acrobat 8.0 does not understand, that document is open from OLE object
and always gives out save dialog before scaning.
Menu items -"Update" (instead of "Save") and "Exit and Return to ..."
(instead of "Exit") are absent.
It turns out, that in Acrobat 8 you have destroyed an opportunity of work with
documents contained in OLE objects in other applications. It is absolutely not clear.
Please answer what to do???

Dear Leonard!
I disagree with your answer.
OLE automation is used by many programs.
Within the framework of this technology is widely used:
- creation and preservation of object in the application - client (database in my case),
- then opening of object in application - server (Acrobat in my case)
- and applying methods described in the documentation of application - server to open object.
In my code is used the standard technology of OLE automation and ONLY!!! the methods described in the documentation of Acrobat.
My code works in Acrobat 6 and Acrobat 7.
I have written previous message to make Acrobat better!!!
I so understand, that you answer on behalf of developers, but your answer not worthy the world famous name - "Adobe".
I think, that developers of new scan plug-in for Acrobat 8 simply did not consider, that the document can be open from the object stored in application - client.
And as representative of developers it is necessary for you either to recognize publicly a problem or publicly to declare, that "Adobe" will not solve it, instead of to write, that not documentary opportunities have been used.
Yours faithfully,
Victor.

Problem with ole objects

Hello to all,
I'm having a problem concerning the use of ole objects.
I'm using Oracle Forms 6.0.8.16.0 with Oracle Reports 6.0.8.1.7.1 on Windows 2000 with Oracle Database Server 9.2.0.4.0.
I have several forms with base tables including blob columns which are used to store ole objects. These could be MS-Word-documents or Bitmaps of signatures. When inserting these objects via "create new" and choose the object type, Word or Paintbrush opens and i can create my objects. After committing these changes to the database, these objects are printed in a report correctly. When inserting these objects via "create from file" or using a push button which is executing "initialize_container" with a file and committing to the database, i get an error while executing the report "REP-0082: Error executing SCA utility".
I want to use a push button to store my ole objects because the "create" dialogue is confusing our users because there is a huge list of all possible ole objects on the client.
Can anybody help with this ?
And to the Oracle Team, please don't suggest simply to upgrade to a higher patch level without looking at the problem. First, I tested all patch levels up to 16, with no change. Second, it's not easy to upgrade for an 24x7 application with hundreds of users in different countries with different ways of deployment.

Kai

Formatting OLE object to variable file paths.

I am currently using the trial version (2008) of Crystal Reports...at least for the next 7 1/2 days! I have worked through all my problems/questions except one. I am trying to insert a SolidWorks drawing document as an OLE object (linked) & the file path for the SW drawing needs to vary by the part name. I placed a column in my Excel worksheet titled "Drawing File" & have tried several different formats to point the OLE to the correct file. Thus far I am successful only in showing the original file the OLE object was created with. The file path is Z:
Jesse\Crystal Reports Tests\9-15-2009\FILENAME.slddrw
I've tried adding hyperlinks to my Excel document, & I've typed out the address to the letter, but I just can't seem to get it to work. Can anyone offer a solution here?

I got the format right from the start. Crystal '08 simply would not link to a SolidWorks file as it will a JPEG file (or any other picture file). So be warned...if you want a SolidWorks drawing to show on your Crystal Report, you MUST save it as a picture file, which as SolidWorks users know, puts EXTREME limitations on a super product since your drawings & models are dynamically related.
