SAP parameter token - Crystal Report 8.8

Hi,
When I want to create a parameter for selection of BPCode, myparameter@select * from OCRD works well. The idea of filtering with properties etc is fantastic.
However, what I need is to create a parameter with value in AddID in OCRD.
I have tried myparameter@select AddID from OCRD, but, it is not displaying the list for AddID capture in OCRD, instead, it display the same UI as myparameter@select * from OCRD.
How do I get by this?
I have tried, range, multiple value, does not work at all.
Did I miss something?

Gordon,
Thanks for replying.
I want to create parameter, as simple as that. Parameter should not be restricted with key value.
In standard Crystal Report, you can create parameter, if you set it as Dynamic, set it to refer to any table field, and use it in report, when running the report, the parameter will be populated with value of the referred field.
How does this work with SAP 8.8?
Are we suppose to use syntax like myparameter@select AddID from OCRD or we just create dynamic parameter as normal?
I have tried both and it does not seems to work properly.
1. If i use myparameter@select AddID from OCRD, it comes out with selecting for OCRD will all those properties, which I am not interested.
2. If I create a dynamic parameter, when runnign the reprot within SAP, nothing has come out on the list for selection.
Has anyone tried that?
No, SQL Command is not what I am interestded,

No SAP Datasources or SAP Toolbar in Crystal Reports 2008

I cannot see the SAP toolbar or SAP datasources under "Create New Connection" in Crystal Reports 2008 SP1.
After reading many threads on SDN and reistalling Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 and the BOBJ SAP Integration Kit many times I have not been able to get this to work. I have installed the following in order:
- SAP GUI for Windows
Release: 710
Build: 1046700
Patch Level: 12
includes the BW 3.5 AddOn and BI 7 AddOn
Crystall Reports 2008 SP1 which I installed all components except Legacy XML Export.
Business Objects XI Integration Kit XI 3.1 for SAP which I installed all desktop components and all server components excluding web content and SDK. This was a local install on my PC.
I have ensured that I have only one instance of SAPLOGON.ini on my PC.
I have not applied the transports yet because I want to see the SAP datasources and SAP toolbar in Crystal Reports before I progress.
We do not have Business Objects Enterprise and I'm not sure what "BOE 3.1 Client Tools" is referred to earlier in this thread. My understanding is that in addition to SAP and BW we just need Crystal Reports 2008 and the SAP integration kit.
We are on ECC6 and BW 3.5.
I hope someone can help.

Hi Stratos,
Thanks for your response. I finally got this working. My issue was that I originally used the Crystal Reports 2008 and BOBJ Int Kit downloads from the SAP support portal. I checked with another SDN user Steven Dierick - thanks Steven - for the version of Crystal Reports 2008 he was using (version 12.0.0.683).
I downloaded Crystal Reports 2008 version 12.0.0.683 and the BOBJ Int Kit from the downloads section of sdn and it works!! SAP Toolbar, datasources and everything.
Considering I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 SP0 are there any disadvantages of not using Crystal Reports 2008 SP1?
If I'm better off using SP1 where should I download Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 and the appropriate BOBJ SAP Integration Kit?
cheers,
John

Hi
please ask your network admins if there is a firewall between your CR Designer installation and your SAP R/3 system.
I assume that you have imported the necessary trsansports in your SAP R/3 system.
Which kind of driver do you use for the connection to SAP R/3?

SAP BW and Crystal Reports XI R2 Parameter list problem??

Hello Experts,
I facing a problem.
I have a crystal report based on a BW Query. It has one parameter called Country.
Eg:
Until now, in BW query country variable has the following values.
USA
JAPAN
GERMANY
Now, from this fiscal year we have the following values for country variable
USA
JAPAN
INDIA
GERMANY
UK
I am trying to edit the list of values for the country variable in crystal reports. It is not getting reflected in SAP BW. I also tried refreshing it several times.
THE VARIABLE IS A HIERARCHY VARIABLE.
Can any one Please help.!!
Regards
NMU

You said that you are using version XI R2 SP2 (for BO Enterprise) - do you have any FixPacks on this codeline? (FP2.x)
Question: If YES to above, have you made use of the equivalent FixPack for Integration Kit? (known as "Partners Fix Pack 2.x ")
There are a few fixes in this area, I was thinking like:
ADAPT00716808 - When scheduling a report from SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) that contains parameters from a hierarchy or a hierarchy node variable, the default values fail to be displayed from InfoView. >>
ADAPT00894127 - When users enter date parameters in the Calendar dialog box in SAP InfoView, the dates entered fail to appear in the corresponding field.
Good luck,

SAP 8.8 Crystal Report Layout problem in client workstation

Hi Experts,
We have import crystal report to SAP Business One as Form Layout or AP Invoice. We have already created the token DocKey@ so it would automatically be printed and will not ask for the document number. The layout works fine using the server workstation but in the client workstation we cannot proceed with the printing because when we click on the preview button, a login window appears with this details:
Database Login
Server Name : gray out or not active
Database: gray out or not active
Login ID: active
Password: active
We tried to enter the SQL login but fails.
Is there any components that we need to install in the workstation before it could function the same way as PLD?
Thanks,
Janice

You can try creating the ODBC connection, which is the same as on the server.
Assuming this is the scenario:
1. You write the invoice using crystal report on the server
2. On the server, Control Panel--> ODBC, you have created an ODBC link eg; SAPB1.
3. The report is connecting to ODBC link and pointing to database OECUS
On the client workstation, you need to create:
1. Control Panel--> ODBC, you need to create an ODBC link as on the server.

Passing Parameter to Crystal Report

Hi Experts,
I have created and designed a Report in Crystal Report 2005. I am displaying the report in SAP B1 using Win Form . Here I want to pass 2 parameters to Report ---@FromDate and @ToDate . I have coded to pass these two parameters this way :
Dim RptDoc As New ReportDocument
        Dim ParamValue As String = String.Empty
        Dim crtableLogoninfos As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfos
        Dim crtableLogoninfo As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.TableLogOnInfo
        Dim crConnectionInfo As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo
        Dim CrTables As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Tables
        Dim CrTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table
        Try
            RptDoc.Load(Application.StartupPath() & "\" & ReportName & ".rpt")
            RptDoc.SetParameterValue("@FromDate", "01/01/2008")
            RptDoc.SetParameterValue("@ToDate", "12/31/2008")
            Dim oForm_ReportViewer As Frm_ReportViewer = New Frm_ReportViewer()
            oForm_ReportViewer.CRViewer.ReportSource = RptDoc
            With crConnectionInfo
                .ServerName = oCompany.Server '"(local)"
                .DatabaseName = oCompany.CompanyDB '"SBODemoIn"
                .UserID = oCompany.DbUserName
                .Password = "manager@123" 'oCompany.DbPassword
             End With
             CrTables = RptDoc.Database.Tables
            'Loop through each table in the report and apply the
            'LogonInfo information
            For Each CrTable In CrTables
                crtableLogoninfo = CrTable.LogOnInfo
                crtableLogoninfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
                CrTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crtableLogoninfo)
            Next
           oForm_ReportViewer.Text = frmTitle
            oForm_ReportViewer.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
            oForm_ReportViewer.ShowDialog()
        Catch Ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show(Ex.ToString)
        End Try
But When I view the report in B1 , it throws an Exception "Report or Procedure expects parameter @FromDate which is not    supplied. "
Please help me where I am making mistake , what could be the cause of this exception..
Thanks and Regards,
Pooja Singh.

Hi Pooja Singh,
You have only set Dim ParamValue As String = String.Empty. Where are two parameter @FromDate and @ToDate?
SetParameterValue will only work if you have defined the parameters already and the parameters have the right format.

Select multiple items from a list box as values for a parameter of crystal report and Oracle procedure

- I have a Product list box (asp.net) used as multiple selected values for a parameter.
- The Product ID is defined in the Oracle procedure as NUMBER data type.
- In my crystal report, I have a parameter field allow multiple values as p_product_id type as Number. This is the code in my Record Selection Formula for the report:
({?p_product_id}[1] = -1 OR {Procedure_name.product_id} in {p_product_id})
- In C#, this is my code
List<decimal?> productUnit = new List<decimal?>();
int counter = 0;
decimal prod;
for (int i = 0; i < lstProducts.Items.Count; i++)
              if (lstProducts.Items[i].Selected)
                            if (decimal.TryParse(lstProduct.Items[i].Value, out prod))
                                productUnit.Add((decimal?)prod);
                                counter++;
       if (counter == 0)
                   productUnit.Add(-1);
ReportingDAO rDataFactory = new ReportingDAO();
retVal = rDataFactory.GetProductReport(productUnit);
public CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument GetProductReport(List<decimal?> productUnit)
          CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument retVal = new rptProductDownload();
          ReportLogon rptLog = new ReportLogon();
         rptLog.Logon(retVal, "RPT_PRODUCT_DOWNLOAD");
         retVal.SetParameterValue("p_product_id", productUnit);
I keep having the "Value does not fall within the expected range" when I debug. My question is, is the data type I used for procedure/Crystal report/ and C# correct ? I always have problem with the data type. Any help would be
appreciated
Thank you

How to supress prompt of database parameter in Crystal report schedule

Hi,
We are using Crystal Reports 2008. In a particular crystal report generated from some SAP WB query, has a parameter (prompt) on month. Now we need to schedule it for monthly execution. But we are still unable to manage the prompt for month automatically. We don,t have API license, so we can not use VBA .Net or Java programming.
Can we manage this database level prompt using Crystal Report formulas. Please suggest how can we manage this prompt so that it can be executed automatically according to schedule.
Thanks & Regards,
Avijit

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
But I know the logic that I need to assign the current month date value to the parameter supplied by BW query in the Crystal Report formula. And I tried to write a new formula using "BeforeReadingRecords" under Formula field. But this formula is not assigning any to the parameter and I am with no success.
Can you please mention how and where shoul I write the formula. Looking forward for you answer.
Regards,
Avijit

Need to use DocNum as parameter in Crystal report

Dear All,
I am developing a report for our customer now. It is a invoice report. We need 2 parameters
1) Customer code (drop-down list. can only choose one each time)
Here is my token
Customer@ SELECT CardCode, CardName FROM OCRD WHERE CardType = 'C' ORDER BY CardCode
2) Then we need another parameter to display all invoice number for the specific customer. How can I create the parameter here?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Yuka

You create two parameters in Crystal Reports. Try these
One for Cusomer (Customer@Select CardName from OCRD where CardType='C') - This would be String, Dynamic
One for DocNum - Type :Number , Static
Import the crystal report using Report Layout Manager to the app menu.
Then navigate to the patch and click on the report, when the report loads you should see a dropdown list for Customer Name and the DocNum will be blank.
Click on View-->System Information and findout field info
create a query : Select DocNum,CardCode,CardName,DocTotal,DocDueDate from OINV where CardCode=$[TableName.Field]

SAP NetWeaver Portal Crystal Reports PDF Export Problem

Hallo all,
We are working with BO Edge XI 3.1 with integration on SAP Netweaver Portal. The problem is that integrated in SAP Portal CR reports cannot be exported to PDF or printed out.
I am using an URL iview with the parameter sOutputFormat=P to run the report.
When I want to print out the report I get the warning message from Internet Explorer "The download of files from this page is for security reasons blocked. Click here..." --> Download the file. By clicking on the u201CDownload this fileu201D the report starts to run again. PDF export doesnu2019t happen.
Did somebody have the same problem?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello Ingo,
thanks a lot for Your help. I have already talked to my IT department and they are looking for the solution of this problem, too.
Is there a documentation about necessary settings in the browser to work with SAP NetWeaver Portal and Crystal reports?
The problem is that on some clients the PDF export is working and on another clients not. The settings of IE seem to be equal.

Parameter in Crystal Report 8.8

Dear Experts,
I'm creating a stored procedures with few parameters. When I preview the report using Crystal Report 8.8, i can set parameters to NULL and the stored procedures will know to capture all information without any filtering.
But when i Preview External Crystal Report in SAP B1 8.8, I don't have the option to set the Parameters to NULL, and SAP B1 is expecting all Parameters must be filled up, it prompts me an error Paramenter [] is mandatory.
Is there any setting i can do to set parameter to NULL?
Thanks.
Regards,
Lay Chin

Have you tried, the Optional Prompt, select True in the parameter field?
Hope this helps.
