Role to save Crystal Report report

Hi,
I am new on Cristal Report; I have created a report with CR and want to save in BW role, but when saving I can't see no role.
My User has SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW profiles; it has a role with a folder assigned in menù tab and authorization on tcode=rrmx, too.
Please let me know something!
thanks
Laura

Hi Laura,
>I have created a report with CR and want to save in BW role, but when saving I can't see no role.
I face the same problem above.
According to your other posts, I think you could solve this.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some tips how you did.

Save Crystal 2008 report as XI -- or can you run 2008 report in XI?

Hi,
Is it possible to save a report created in Crystal 2008 report as an XI verion?
If not, is it possible to run a report created in Crystal 2008 report in XI and Crystal Report Server XI if none of the new features in 2008 are used?
I want to purchase an additional copy of the application, and am trying to decide which version I can use when the bulk of the reports are run on CRS XI...
- JD

Good feedback, I've a couple of things I'm still curious about...
1. Does the warning pop up every time you open the report created in 2008 in XI?
2. Including on the XI REPORT SERVER rather than the desktop client?
I ask as I'm concerned that if I create reports and upload them to the XI server it'll cause no end of user annoyance if they have to click through a warning message every time the want to run/load the report.

Cannot save Crystal Report to BO Enterprise

I am running Crystal Reports XI R2 and Business Objects XI R2. I opened a report from the enterprise in Crystal Reports to modify it. After making changes, I tried to save the modified report back to the Enterprise. I received the following message:
"Failed to read data from report file {path of temporary location of .rpt file}. Reason: Unable to launch C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32_x86\plugins\desktop\CrystalEnterprise.Report\ReportAdd program to add report to the system."
I have verified that the reportadd.exe file is in the specified location.
A co-worker that uses the same computer set-up as I do is able to save to the repository. We have compared our configurations and have not found anything different in our software versions, etc. as far as BO and CR are concerned. The only thing that is different between our PC's is that I have Crystal Reports 8 installed also. This has not been a problem in the past, though, and I did not use CR 8 to modify the report; I used CR XI R2.
Can anyone tell me what condition triggers this error? If I knew that, maybe I would have a better idea of where to look for differences in our systems and, therefore, successfully resolve this issue.

The system will not allow me to export the system crystal report....it is grayed out, and it IS a crystal report. HOwever I can open it in crystal, then save it to my desktop, then from INSIDE of SAP in the report and layout manager I import the crystal report I made the changes to from my desktop into SAP and it saves and imports no problems. However when I go to view the report (and this is only the ones I import), it prompts me with the db login for our server to connect, and it is only with that report, once I enter sa credentials it is fine and shows up from there on in, but not if I log out of SAP and back in...then I have to put in my credentials again. Is this something having to do with the report when I make changes to it? I cant have users entering login info each time they run the new aging details report. Please advise what I may be doing wrong when I make changes to a crystal report. It was a very minor change....just moved a feild width.

Close the IE window openeded after a Crystal Reports Report opened in Excel

Hi all
I wonder if any of you have an answer for this doubt:
I have developed a series of Crystal Reports reports which I open by using the opendocument command and by specifying the parameter &sOutputFormat=E. It works properly: When the user executes the report, an Internet Explorer window appears , followed by a File Download dialog box where the user chooses wether to Open, Save or Cancel.
This dialog box has a checkbox for allowing the user to "Close this dialog box when download completes". If the user had already checked this option ( for a previous download, for example), then the excel file gets saved automatically but the Internet Explorer window opened at first, remains opened which may seem like the report is still being generated, even it was already saved.
I'm wondering if there's a way to close this Internet Explorer window automatically, once the report was saved.
I greatly appreciate any contribution.
Gabriel Sanchez V.

Hi Don. You are right, as I mentioned, I'm using the opendocument command which gets called via an URL.
Did you mean this is not the proper forum to post my question? This forum is "SAP Crystal Reports Design" isn't it?. Could you please clarify this point?
Thanks in advance
Best regards

Problem with Save data with report

Post Author: ramprosoft
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I am new to CR and using Crystal Reports XI with SQL Server 2000.
I'm not able to remove the saved data in a report. I have played around different options, but unfortunately I'm not able to remove the data. I have checked variouse places in web above this issue not able to find a solution, so decided to open a new post. The problem is :
I have created a simple report and saved with-out data (1st version) the file size was 16KB. After few changes I have saved the same report with Data, the file size become 1065 KB. Its perfect and I can view the report in Report Viewer. Great Stuff!. Now the Testing completed, I would like to move this report to production environment, I notice that I'm unable to remove the data. I have played around various tricks like below, but it didnt work well.
Trick 1:
Uncheck: File->Options->Reporting (tab)->Save Data With Report.
Check: File -> Options -> Reporting (tab)->Discard Saved data on Open,
Uncheck: file-> Report Options -> Save Data With Report.
File -> Save Data with Report (Not selected)
Opened the report and try "save" and also tried "save as", still the size is 1065.
Trick 2:
I enabled all "Save Data with report" feature. Deleted all the rows in the table related to the query, previewed the report and Saved the report with "Save Data with report" featuer. But now, the funny part happen, the file size increased to 1070kb, instead of reducing. Worst Stuff!!!
Trick 3:
Updated the latest version of Patch and tried above tricks, still i'm not able to remove the data.
Appreciate, if you could help me to fix the problem.
thanks in advance

Save Data with Reports

Hi Friends,
The Report Option has Save Data with Reports.
What is Merit and Demerit of having this option on?
Thanks and regards

If you select the report option save data with report - i think it will save the report along with the data retrieved at that particular time.
When open the report again it will show that data. The crystal reports will not search for new data, If click refresh then it will try to get the updated data. If you save the report with data, if publish the report in Infoview- open the report it will display the data without going for the dynamic data. If you schedule it then it will get the latest data from db server.
You can view the data in crystal reports viewer if you save the data along with the report.
sorry for my english!!

Parsa.

No "save data with report"

Hi
I have a report with prompts... I saved the report with "_save data with report_". If i didnt do the "save data with report" ,every time I run the report ,its asking for selecting Prompts.
My question is
when i run the report , It should not ask for prompts and I need to fetch the latest data from the database but not the saved data .
Plz get me out of this situation.
Thank u

Hi Dans,
Purpose of parameters:
The purpose of creating prompts in the report is to filter the data as per user's requirement.Whenever you refresh the report it is going to ask for the parameter values as the crystal engine will fire the required query on the database and include the parameter values in the 'where' clause of this query.In the absence of filters report fetches all the records in the databse which can significantly impact the performance of this report.
Minimum requirement for getting refreshed data:
In order to fetch the refreshed data (and not the saved one) the query needs to be complete before executing and thus the where clause condition needs to be complete as well.
To solve your issue:
In your case,if you want to avoid being prompted then you may hard code the desired filters in the record selection formula(Report>>Selection formuls>>Record) say as in Order_id not in (,,,,,,,) and order_date>'' etc
Limitations:
However after hard coding the values you may loose the flexibility of choosing the filter values at runtime.
If you have any further queries please keep this thread updated.
Thanks

Cannot save the excel report in my application

Hi I wrote a program which can save the data to an Excel report. It runs perfectly on my own computer. After I built the application (exe file), and run it in another computer, which can not save the excel report. On my own computer, it has LabVIEW 2011 and report generation toolkit for Microsoftoffice; and on the other computer, I installed the LabVIEW runtime engine. Did I miss installing some other support software? Can anyone tell me why this is not working?
Thanks a lot,
Jane

Do you have Excel installed on the other computer?
I also suggest that you read this page : Including Report Generation VIs in Stand-Alone Applications (Report Generation Toolkit)

Trying to programmatically set the data-source for a Crystal reports report.

I've got the following existing procedure that I need to add to in order to programmatically set the data-source (server, database, username, and password) for a Crystal reports report.
I added the connectionInfo parts, but can’t figure out how to attach this to the existing
this._report object.
This is currently getting the connection data from the report file, but I now need to populate this connection data from a 'config.xml' text file.
Am I trying to do this all wrong?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Crystal Reports "Report Application Server"

Does anyone have any experience with Crystal Reports' Report Application Server (RAS)?
The provided documentation is very thin and support are taking an age to respond.
I want to use a Bean as a data source for a report. The blurb says you can do this, but the only documented way I can find is for the bean to return a ResultSet, completely missing the point of using a bean or EJB in the first place.
Now, Seagate's sales blurb states that Beans and EJBs can be used as data sources, but if the only way to do this is to return a common or garden ResultSet, what's the point of the bean???
So, has anyone sucessfully used a bean or EJB as a data source for report generation under RAS, or merely CR in general, without resorting to a ResultSet??

Crystal Reports YUK!! especially in Java Forum!Tell me about it!!
But, like many developers, I don't get a choice. I have to use CR, and I have to integrate it into a Tomcat (4.1.24) based app. There is a Java API for RAS, but it is a pile of dung. Can you imagine publishing an API with public methods with 'do not use, for internal use only' plastered all over them!!!
But still, back to the original question, I have to find a way of doing this, but Seagate's javadocs are a mess, as are the howto docs. All of the examples, as you might expect, are childishly simple and don't give any insight into the large and hideous API :(
Here is an example of a CR howto.....
There appear to be two ways of creating a data source that isn't an existing report or a database query. This
Runtime data sources
One of the strengths of RAS over the Crystal Reports application, is that the RAS
can use data generated programatically at runtime. With a runtime data source,
you can take data from any source�such as a database, a data stream, or a flat
file�manipulate it with the programming language of your choice, and display it
with RAS.
To use a runtime data source
1 Put your manipulated data in a rowset form that can be processed by the RAS.
Consult the Rowset object and interface in the SDK JavaDocs, for details on
creating rowsets.
2 Create and fill the Dataset object with the rowset data.
3 Create a RowsetController object.
4 Add or set the data source using the RowsetController�s AddDataSource or
SetDataSource methods respectively.
The runtime data source is now available for use.
Note: If you create a report based on a data set, the data that is used is not saved
with the report. To populate the report with data the next time you open it, you
must either re-apply the data source to see current data, or access a saved version
of the data source for preview.
All well and good, but RowsetController doesn't have an AddDataSource or SetDataSource method!!!!
and this......
JavaBean custom data sources
You can use a JavaBean (or a Java class that does not extend the bean type) in order
to specify a custom data source. In order to do this, you will need to:
� Creating a Java class that specifies a custom data source
� Referencing a java class to provide data for a report
Creating a Java class that specifies a custom data source
To use a JavaBean (or a Java class that does not extend the bean type) in order to
specify a custom data source, you will need to create a class that serves as a Java
Beans Connectivity data source for creating Crystal Reports.
This class will need to conforms to the JavaBean standard by defining private
properties that are accessible only through get and set methods. In this way the
Crystal Reports designer can introspect the class as a Bean. The JavaBean
connectivity classes require the following.
� The constructor must have zero parameters.
� Methods that are used as "tables" must have a return type of ResultSet.
� Statement objects must be created using the
ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE and ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY
arguments.
Note: Methods returning ResultSet can take arguments, these are treated as
Stored Procedure parameters by Crystal Reports.
Now, what the hell is the point of going to the trouble of abstracting your business data into a bean or EJB, if that bean has to return a ResultSet for Crystal Reports to use??!!

Link a Crystal Report report with an SQL Azure database

Hi,
I want to use my database on SQL Azure in Crystal Report. So I want to link my reports with data contained not in a local db, but in a SQL Azure one.
Insiede Crystal Report I have created a new ADO connection to my SQL Azure, providing server, db, user, password, and Crystal Report have recognized the database. But when I go to the Database Expert and I try to set this ADO connection inside my report,
I recieve this error:
"Not Implemented
Source ADODB.Connection
L'operazione richiesta non è supportata dall'oggetto o dal provider (operation not supported by the object or by the provider)"
Why? How can i use my SQL Azure data in my Crystal Report reports?
Thanks

Hi Delfins,
Please create a UDL file to test the connection, ensure the connection is fine and then use the same connection string in your Crystal Report.
For UDL file, you can refer to:

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Do you want to merge these libraries into one? If so, then you'll need the paid version ($20) of iPhoto Library Manager
It's the only way to merge Libraries while preserving all metadata, versions and so on.
Otherwise, simply rename one of the Libraries (so they don't overwite each other) and Copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder to the External Disk. in each case.
To choose which library to open: holf down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location.

How to save each section report into different excel sheet?

Hi all
How to save each section report into different excel sheet?
I have a report in which there are 4 sections north south west east now i need to save north in excel sheet 1 , south in sheet2, west in sheet3, and east in sheet4. under each section there is list report.
Please let me know is it possible are not if possible let me no the procedure to be followed.
Thank you

If you're running XI 3.1 you might be able to solve this as follows.
1. Create four users: east, west, north, south
2. Create a profile that filters on the variable you used for the section/break
3. Publish the report
3.1 Set users created above to be the enterprise recipients
3.2 Add personalization (the profile created above)
3.3 Check the Deliver objects to each user in Destinations
(3.4 You could use %SI_OWNER% to get a nice suffix to the report name)
This should cause four reports to be created, each with its own "personalized" contents.

Unable to save Infoview pdf reports in Windows Vista

Good morning,
My coworker needs to be able to save Infoview pdf reports from her Windows Vista PC, but she is presently unable to. She was able to save the reports fine previously from the Windows XP PC she used to have.
Following are the steps taken to arrive at the problem:
1) On a Windows Vista PC, browse to: https://wyinf.hostams.com/InfoViewApp/logon.jsp
2) Logon with appropriate credentials.
3) Navigate to: All > Public Folders > WY WOLFS Reports > Double-click on one of the listed Adobe Acrobat .pdf reports.
4) Now the pdf report is open within the web browser, and "BUSINESSOBJECTS INFOVIEW" is the title above the pdf report.
5) Click on the "Save" button - Nothing happens or appears. (After clicking on the save button, a window should launch that lets you save the pdf file to a desired location. This works fine on Windows XP)
If any of you know of any workarounds to this problem or any settings I could adjust to fix this, please let me know.
Thanks for any help,
Tully
