Setting Crystal report description.

When adding a Crystal report to CMC, there is an check box "Use description from report " to display the report description. Once I select this and add a report to CMC, is there away to remove this and add my own description?

Change it in the Report Designer and republish

Setting Crystal Report data source at runtime

In advance, I've read all of the posts on here about dynamically changing the data source for your report at runtime and none of it seems to work.
I developed a report against my development database using an MySQL ODBC connection. At runtime I want to pull the data from the production database. I've tried clearing the DataSourceConnections. I've tried the SetDatabaseLogon as well as Table.LogOnInfo, Table.ApplyLogOnInfo, SetConnection, everything.
I am using the pull method for getting the data, so CR has entire control over the mechanism used to fetch the data.
But when I am setting some other data source I am greeted with a logon screen for the database, I i check use itegrated security then it says logon failed and if I uncheck use integrated security checkbox then it shows unable to load report and an exception is thrown
Anyone have any ideas? I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and Crystal Reports 2011 developer edition.Apart from this my Database is in mysql and I am binding report with the MySQL Procedure.
Note: Both these database just differ in name, Infact they are same database just I have changed the name, so the procedure and the fields are same.
Thanks in advance.

So if ODBC doesn't allow me to change the data source, can't it be done in some other way without mingling with each and every report.
BDW I am able to change the data-source at designer mode,
Currently the connection string being used is
private readonly ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo
            DatabaseName = "DB NAME",
            IntegratedSecurity = true,
            Password = "admin",
            ServerName = "localhost",
            UserID = "root"
I just want it to read from same copy of database place at some other location so the connection string will be modified as
private readonly ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo
            DatabaseName = "Same copy of database record may change but structure will be same",
            IntegratedSecurity = true,
            Password = "admin",
            ServerName = "IP address of the machine",
            UserID = "root"

How to set Crystal Report command timeout in runtime ?

Hi, All !
I have a report that is generating timeout error during execution command (Crystal Report command with SQL query). How can I set timeout for the command from application code ? I am using CR 12 and C# (.NET framework 2.0)

Please help.
Thank you in advance.

I do not believe there is such an API. How long does it take before you get the timeout?

Crystal Reports 2008 Repository Explorer

Hi,
I am new to Crystal Reports 2008. I want to use Crystal Reports 2008 Repository. My question is as it was done in Crystal Report 9 Professional edition that a crystal report developer can create a Repository while using Crystal Report 9 Professional edition without Crystal report Server, Is this also possible with Crystal Report 2008. If we only have Crystal Report 2008 designer or developer edition, can we create Repository's i.e. Text Objects, Images, Custom Functions, SQL Commands etc without having Crystal Report 2008 Server, if yes please let me know the method.
Thanks in advance
Thanks
Vipin

Hi,
I was on web found this link
http://www.crystalkeen.com/articles/crystalreports/repository.htm
which says that:
Crystal Reports: Repository
A solid understanding of the repository can really improve the the efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness of your reports. Hammerman and Associates offers classes on this very subject. We aren't going to cover all of it here, but will provide some highlights.
Use the CR9 Repository for those commonly used objects
The Crystal Reports 9.0 repository is a great place to store some commonly used items in your report. This includes text strings, images, SQL Commands (see next item) and Custom Formulas.
The Repository is initially stored in an Access database and has an ODBC connection with the System DSN of u201CCrystal Repository.u201D But you can use any ODBC data source including a database in your network so you can all share the same common objects.
Create a new database for the repository. We recommend you copy the existing MS-Access database, but you can start with an empty database. (The initial repository is Repository_en.mdb, stored in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin).
Create an ODBC connection to the new database. The new database does not have to be an Access database. If you use your SQL Server or Oracle server then, by using server security you can control who can view and who can edit items in the repository.
You next need to set Crystal Reports 9.0 to use this new Database connection. This control information is stored in an INI file and can be edited with any text editor such as NotePad. The INI file is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin\orMap.ini .
There is a line in this file that saysu2026 Crystal Repository=Crystal Repository .
Edit this to say Crystal Repository=New ODBC DSN.
Is this also possible with Crystal Report 2008 designer/developer edition.
Thanks
Vipin

I have about the exact same error and it happens when I hit refresh to update the records. When I go into the Formula Workshop, there is nothing in Report Custom Function. Can you give me a little more detail on how you fixed the problem.
Thanks.

Cannot Open Crystal Report

Dear Gordon,
I've been through those process, create user group, assign users to the group and assign CR report to the group.
Btw, user type is normal user not super user.

Why Would Crystal Reports read more than it prints

Hi everyone,
In my case My record selection is based on the following:
{FACILITY}=1
And {payment_code} In ["110","111","112","115","116","117"]
And {service_code} = "COPAY"
And {date_of_receipt} in [{?From Date} to {?To Date}]
And yet for any parameter selection set crystal reports would read - say - 1000 records but prints only 25 records, the question is if the records found according to the selected values from parameter and the record selection formula, is only 25 records, then why would it read 1000 records? what is the reason? and how to avoid it?
Thanks in advance!

It may also be what the numbers are telling you is the filter (WHERE) cannot be pushed down to the Server so CR has to filter it client side on the second pass.
Likely due to the data range, quite often the date format is not compliant to the Server so CR has to "interpret" the date format so it ends up filtering client side.
Try commenting out that part of the selection formula and see if you get the same number of records read. If you do then you could try using a SQL Express to convert the date fields or possibly using a Command and Command Parameter to set the date range may work for you. This way the DB is definitely getting the date formatted for it's server side use.

How to set printersettings for the crystal report viewer in SAP BI dynamically

Hello
I have set the URL method for my crystal report and with parameter passing as shown below, it was displaying the crystal report viewer by connecting to the SAP BI 4.0 server with this method.
http://cr:port/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sDocName=CRLabelParam&sType=rpt&lsSnPrinted=0&lsSsTestProjectNr=1
This URL will be called from Web application by different users, i would like to set the printer settings differently for different users for this crystal report viewer how shall i need to set the printer options?
shall i need to set the printer settings programatically for each user. Please advise me how do i need to proceed.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajeswari.

There are no BI / CR APIs that would do this for you. The way I see it, you'll have to have your own print button and populate it with the correct printer information for each user as they request the report. Of course, alternatively, use the viewer printer button and get the users to choose the correct printer.

Set As Default Crystal Report Layout in SAP B1 8.8 PL13

Hi,
I want to Set As Default a Crystal Report Layout. I know you can do that in Layout Desginer - Selection Criteria, but SAP B1 8.8 PL 13 has only a Manage Layout button in the Layout Desginer window which links to the Report and Layout Manager. There is no Set As Default button.
Where can you select which layout to be default in PL13?
Thanks!
Cristina

Hi
If you want to Set as Default particular PLD then Open that Form
For. Example
Sales Ar > A/R Invocies (Item) document
Then Click on PLD icon ans select your crystal report as Default by Set as Defaul button.
Thanks

Crystal Report - Set Parameter Value - Case sensitive

Hi, 
We are using Crystal report 2008 CR4E API to implement the crystal report in our application. When we use parameter report with different cases, the code is not setting values for all the parameter fields in the report. Kindly help us in achieving the solution.
 
In Report, SQL Command is used and a parameter is passed to the SQL. The name of the parameter is given uppercase but in the SQL Command it is given in lowercase. The report still pass the parameter to the query and it is running fine in designer.
But in our application it throws the below exception. If the parameters are defined in same case then it works fine.
 
Code: 
reportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument(); 
reportClientDocument.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString); 
reportClientDocument.open(reportName, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly); 
DatabaseController dbController = reportClientDocument.getDatabaseController(); 
Tables tables = dbController.getDatabase().getTables(); 
ITable table = tables.getTable(0); 
IProcedure command = (IProcedure)table; 
ParameterFieldController paramController = reportClientDocument.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController(); 
for (int i=0; i< command.getParameters().size(); i++) { 
 ParameterField commandParam = (ParameterField) command.getParameters().get(i); 
 String paramName = commandParam.getName(); 
 String paramValue = getParmeterValues(paramName); 
 paramController.setCurrentValue("", paramName, Integer.valueOf(paramValue)); 
}

Hi,
Can some one please help with the solution

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?
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine;
using WGS.Reports.Reports;
using CrystalDecisions.Shared;
using WGS.Reports.Forms;
namespace WGS.Reports
public class ReportService
ReportClass _report;
ParameterFields paramFields;
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo; // <- I added this
public ReportService()
public void DisplayReport(string reportName, int allocationNo)
if (reportName.ToLower() == "allocationexceptions")
this._report = new AllocationExceptions();
PrepareConnection(); // <- I added this
PrepareAllocationExceptionReport(allocationNo);
this.DisplayReport();
private void PrepareConnection() // <- I added this
//test - these will come from the config.xml file
this.connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
this.connectionInfo.ServerName = "testserv\\test";
this.connectionInfo.DatabaseName = "testdb";
this.connectionInfo.UserID = "testuser";
this.connectionInfo.Password = "test";
this.connectionInfo.Type = ConnectionInfoType.SQL;
private void PrepareAllocationExceptionReport(int allocationNo)
this.paramFields = new ParameterFields();
this.paramFields.Clear();
ParameterField paramField = new ParameterField { ParameterFieldName = "@AllocationNo" };
ParameterDiscreteValue discreteVal = new ParameterDiscreteValue { Value = allocationNo };
paramField.CurrentValues.Add(discreteVal);
paramFields.Add(paramField);
private void DisplayReport()
frmReportViewer showReport = new frmReportViewer();
showReport.ReportViewer.ReportSource = this._report;
showReport.ReportViewer.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;
showReport.ShowDialog();
showReport.Dispose();
Any help would be much appreciated.
