Setting tray selects inside the crystal report

I am writing a report which will have 3 possible page layouts.
I would like to print page 1 from a specific tray while page 2 and 3 from a differenet tray. Is there a way to control this or set
the paper source/ printer tray from inside the crystal report itself?
Thank you so much for your time on this.

Hi
In Crystal Reports Designer we can not select the print tray at runtime for a single report however to workaround on this, you can insert different subreports.
Insert subreport for different chunk of data for which you want different trays. Please note inserting multiple subreports can cause a slower execution of report.
Go to file ->print -> set the tray from Printer paper -> source
but it depends on the type of printer is in use and on the printer driver.As its printer dependent you need to check the printer options for trays in control panel.
Hope this helps!!

How to set database location in the crystal report X1 from the Source code.

Dear All,
I am using Crystal report X1 for report generation.Now I am setting the database location manually in the crystal report. How can I Set the database location from the Source code.
Awaiting for your reply.
Thanks in advance.

Here's a routine that also searches for subreports to set the log on info. Simply remove that aprt to set the main report logon info:
IDatabaseTablePtr pTable;
//get first table
pTable = m_Report->Database->Tables->GetItem(1) ;
long lTableCount = m_Report->Database->Tables->Count;
for( long lTable=1; lTable<=lTableCount; lTable++ )
     pTable = m_Report->Database->Tables->GetItem(lTable);
     pTable->ConnectionProperties->DeleteAll();
     pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("DSN", "Name of your DSN");
     pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Database", "Demo");
     pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Password", "sa");
     pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("User ID", "1Oem2000");
// Log on the tables of the subreports.
long lSectionCount = m_Report->Sections->Count;
for( long lSection=1; lSection<=lSectionCount; lSection++ )
     ISectionPtr pSection = m_Report->Sections->Item[lSection];
     long lSubreportCount = pSection->ReportObjects->Count;
     for( long lSubreport=1; lSubreport<=lSubreportCount; lSubreport++ )
          IReportObjectPtr pSubreportObject = pSection->ReportObjects->Item[lSubreport];
          CRObjectKind crObjectKind;
          pSubreportObject->get_Kind(&crObjectKind);
          if( crObjectKind == crSubreportObject )
               ISubreportObjectPtr SubReportPtr = pSubreportObject;
               IReportPtr pSubReport = SubReportPtr->OpenSubreport();
               long lTableCount = pSubReport->Database->Tables->Count;
               for( long lTable=1; lTable<=lTableCount; lTable++ )
                    pTable = m_Report->Database->Tables->GetItem(lTable);
                    pTable->ConnectionProperties->DeleteAll();
                    //pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("DSN", "dwcb12003");
                    pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Database", "CrystalEport_DB");
                    pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("Password", "sa");
                    pTable->ConnectionProperties->Add("User ID", "1Oem2000");
If that doesn't work you need to tell us what is the error you are getting and paste in the code you are using.

How do you set the Crystal Report Viewer Printer to Duplex

Using the code below I can print in duplex mode, but this does not let me view a report before printing
How do I set the Printer in the Viewer Control Bar of the Crystal Report Viewer to Duplex Printing programmatically rather than having to manually select Duplex through the preferences option?
I have searched but the only example code I found produces errors in the code and will not run
Private myReport As ReportDocument
myReport = New ReportDocument()
myReport.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperA4
myReport.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait
myReport.PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = PrinterDuplex. Vertical
myReport.PrintToPrinter(3, False, 0, 0)
In my VB6 Project that I am converting to VB.NET when I added Report.PrinterDuplex = crPRDPVertical, this allowed me to view the report and then print with Duplex without having to set the Print Preferences manualy

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.

Hiding the Selected field in the Crystal reports 2011

Hi Experts,
I am new to the Crystal reports. How to hide the Selected Field in the Crystal report 2011.
Thanks,
Kavya.C

Hi Kavya,
You can right click on the field, go to Format Field -> Common Tab. Select/Check the option "Suppress". Or if you want to hide/ Suppress the entire section in a Crystal Report, for e.g. Detail section, right click on Details Section and select Section expert. You can select Hide/Supress accordinly.
That should hide the filed/Section when you run the report.

Display User Selection Results on Cover Sheet of the Crystal Report

How do you display the result of a multi-level dynamic parameter that the user has selected on the cover sheet of the crystal report.
Or Display the Start & Ending selection results from a dynamic parameter on the cover sheet of the crystal report.

Replace the code with:
stringvar selection;
stringVar array arr1;
numberVar i;
redim preserve arr1[count({?ProductID})];
for i := 1 to count({?ProductID}) step 1 do
arr1<i> := {?ProductID};
selection:= 'ProductID is : ' & chr(39) & join(arr1,",") & chr(39);
This should hopefully fix the error, but I don't think it will solve your problem as it might keep assigning the same product id to each element of the array.
Have you tried just join({?parameter},', ') as suggested by RG?

Hi,
Does it means we are allowed to create stored Procedure inside the Company Database. We only use selecting and joining tables and somehow some complex sql procedures to meet our requirements.
Thanks, but my question is if there's nothing wrong with it why my SAP B1 Closes when previewing the Crystal Report. Im running on Windows 7 64-bit, i will not imagine that the capacity of memory of my Terminal Unit is not enough because my memory is 8GB. I run crystal report but it shows the record, but when running the Cystal Viewer inside SAP B1 it illegally terminated.
Thanks for clarifying the creation of Stored Procedure.

Windows 2008 problems with Delphi and the Crystal Reports VCL

Anybody had any luck with Crystal XI using the VCL on a Windows 2008 machine?
In testing we've found that everything seems to work, except that the user can not select a different printer. When I go to the Printer Setup button, the panel that pulls up used to have, in previous Windows versions, a printer button inside the Printer Options box. Windows 2008 does not, so the end user can not select a different printer to print to than their default.
Anybody have any ideas on:
1) Am I just doing somthing wrong
2) A fix for the Crystal XI VCL that will address the probelm
3) An option on how to call Crystal Reports from inside a Delphi program without the VCL?
Obviously, I'm hoping I don't have to go with #3, but if that's the only solution I guess I need to know now.

Display only graph in the Crystal report viewer

Background:
We used Crystal Reports ver10 to display various graphs in our ASP.Net 2.0 Web Application (Visual Studio 2005)
We recently migrated our application to .NET 4.5 and Crystal Reports ver13 (Visual Studio 2012)
Issue:
Now, the Crystal Report Viewer control loads the graph inside an <IFRAME> which shows the whole page with the graph placed on the right bottom corner instead of just the graph image as it used to previously.
I have checked various properties that hides the tree and the toolbar and I am unable to get rid of the whole page.
Query:
Is there a way to not display the page and display only the image that contains the graph? OR
Is there a way to not render the whole <iframe> and just display the graph image inside a <div> as it used to happen before?

Hi Ludek, thanks for your response. Please refer the screenshots below.
1) CR ver10 - the graph <img> is simply enclosed inside a div
2) CR ver13 - the graph <img> is enclosed inside an <iframe>'s body - you can also see the scroll bars and "white-page-background" and "grey space" which I am hoping to hide or disable
3) We are using the same set of CRViewer properties in both cases:
- DisplayGroupTree = False
- DisplayToolbar = False
- HasDrillUpButton = Flase
- HasRefreshButton = False
- HasToggleGroupTreeButton = Fasle
- HasViewList = False
- HasZoomFactorList = False
- EnableViewState = True
4) Here's a screenshot of of the .rpt file opened in the VS 2012:
We only want to render the graph image on the UI and not the whole page. Is there a property setting that will help us achive this or should we define explicit CSS styles to hide those areas?
Thank you for looking into this!

Altering schema of tables/objects inside a crystal report through API

hi all,
        We run crystal reports through a Java application (using CR4E API) connecting to Oracle database. All the tables/views within the report do not use fully qualified names (i.e. schemaName.objectName) instead they use the object name alone. Earlier we would run all the reports logging in as the schema owner and hence all the objects would be accessible without issue. Per a new requirement we now log in as a non-schema owner ID and the objects are now not accessible to this user id unless a fully qualified object is not provided as the default context schema will now be different.
       We tried altering the schema through the API like so,
        ITable origTable = null;
        ITable newTable = null;
        String DB_USER_NAME = username;
        String DB_PASSWORD = password;
        String TRUSTED_CONNECTION = "true";
        String SERVER_TYPE = "JDBC (JNDI)";
        String USE_JDBC = "true";
        String DATABASE_DLL = "crdb_jdbc.dll";
        String JNDI_DATASOURCE_NAME = jndiName;
        String CONNECTION_URL = connectionURL;
        String DATABASE_CLASS_NAME = driverName;
Tables tables = clientDoc.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables();
            for(int i = 0;i < tables.size();i++){
                origTable = tables.getTable(i);
                if (tableName == null || origTable.getName().equals(tableName)) {
                    newTable = (ITable)origTable.clone(true);
                newTable.setQualifiedName("TestSchema." + origTable.getAlias());    <--- Set actual schema here but it still takes the alias as "command"
Are we doing anything wrong here? It appears that the table name is always "command", internally I think CR uses the name command for its table and we are not allowed to change it. The table name, alias and qualifier name are be default set to "command" by CR. If I append schema name to the table name I get schemaName.command as against schemaName.objectName.
Synyonyms are not an option for us for various reasons. We will not be able to go down that road no matter what. However we are looking at an API related solution here so if anyone could advise in this regard it would be very helpful.

Lindell - your response was very helpful. I was able to create a SQL Command on the subreport and change the subreport links on the main report to use the paramters in the SQL Command. The report is now very fast - even when there are lots of detail records on the main report. It is properly executing the query and not reading all 2M records into memory for each subreport.
I'm still totally confused as to why Crystal was misbehaving so poorly and changing how the subreport queried the database when the only change was the fields used for record selection on the main report. It really looks like a bug to me, but maybe someone can still enlighten me.
thanks again so much. We are in Parallel testing for a production rollout - and the users are MUCH happier now! (which of course makes me much happier!)
Susan
PS I was not aware of the SQL Command - had never used it before. Took me a little while to figure it out and how to do the linking - but it is very powerful. Thanks again.

Selection Screen for crystal report ?

Hi to all,
Is it possible to create selection screen using Crystal report designer alone ?
I came to know that we can give selection parameteres using SELECT EXPERT option in desginer.
Can we create selection screen for user input like we have in abab (selection screen) ?.
Is it possible to check authorization using Crystal report designer ?
If anyone knows anything .... remotely connected with the question I asked please reply.
Waiting for reply.
Regards,
Surya.

Surya,
To do what you are wanting, you will want to do the following:
1) Create parameters. Open the Field Explorer > right click Parameter Fields > fill in the necessary fields o create the desired parameter.
2) Add the parameter to the Select Expert.
2a) If you are using a SQL Command to generate your data set you will need to add the parameter name to the Parameter List of the Command and add it the selection criteria of the SQL statement.
Something like this:
WHERE f.FieldName = {?ParameterName}
HTH,
Jason

Switching the language of the "Crystal Reports for Eclipse" plugin

Good day everyone,
I would like to ask about configuring the language of the "Crystal Reports for Eclipse" plugin:
- I have "Crystal Reports for Eclipse" version: 2.0.7.r1040
- I have installed the language packs 1 and 2
- Currently, the Crystal Reports perspective and the associated views are displayed in German.
- I would like to switch these views back to English.
Questions:
1. How can I switch the language?
2. Will this switching of the language have any known side effect on the existing reports, because some of the reports in my current project are displayed in German?
Thank you in advance for your support.
Best regards,
Samar

Hello everyone,
I have found a solution for this question that I would like to share with you.
- Browse the Control Panel
- Open the Regional and Language Options
- In the Regional Options tab under the Standards and formats group, select the Locale that you prefer.
- *Restart Eclipse* and the Crystal Reports plugin would read the changed setting and display the Crystal Reports perspectives and views in the language of the selected Locale.
Best regards,
Samar

How to create a report with data using the Crystal Reports for Java SDK

Hi,
How do I create a report with data that can be displayed via the Crystal Report for Java SDK and the Viewers API?
I am writing my own report designer, and would like to use the Crystal Runtime Engine to display my report in DHTML, PDF, and Excel formats. I can create my own report through the following code snippet:
ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
However, I cannot find a way to add data elements to the report without specifying an RPT file. Is this possible? I seems like it is since the Eclipse Plug In allows you to specify your database parameters when creating an RPT file.
is there a way to do this through these packages?
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.definition
Am I forced to create a RPT file for the different table and column structures I have?
Thank you in advance for any insights.

Throws the exception
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: java.lang.NullPointerException---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed
There was other sample code on SDN which suggested the following - adding the table after calling table.setDataFields() as in:
          String tableName = "Building";
            String fieldname = "Building_Name";
            Table oTable = new Table();
            oTable.setName(tableName);
            oTable.setAlias(tableName);
            oTable.setQualifiedName(tableName);
            oTable.setDescription(tableName) ;
            Fields fields = new Fields();
            DBField field = new DBField();
            field.setDescription(fieldname);
            field.setHeadingText(fieldname);
            field.setName(fieldname);
            field.setType(FieldValueType.stringField);
            field.setLength(40);
            fields.add(field);
            oTable.setDataFields(fields);
            oTable.setConnectionInfo(oConnectionInfo);
            rcd.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null);
This code succeeds, but it is not clear how to add that database field to a section. If I attempt to call the following:
FieldObject oFieldObject = new FieldObject();
            oFieldObject.setDataSourceName(field.getFormulaForm());
            oFieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
            // Now add it to the section
            oFieldObject.setLeft(3120);
            oFieldObject.setTop(120);
            oFieldObject.setWidth(1911);
            oFieldObject.setHeight(226);
            rcd.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().add(oFieldObject, rcd.getReportDefController().getReportDefinition().getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0), -1);
Then I get an error (which is not unexpected)
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportDefControllerException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213283 Error code name:invalidFieldObject
How do I add one of the table.SetDataFields() to my report to be displayed?
Are there any other pointers or suggestions you may have?
Thank you

Not able to see the crystal reports XI version in the IE 7 and IE 8

Hi Team,
I am using web based application developed in VB,ASP,SQL SERVER,Crystal Reports(XI). I am able to see the Crystal Reports in IE 6. But i am not able to see the reports in IE 7 and IE 8. While clicking on the reports button it is showing the red X image top left cornor.
I am using CrystalActiveX viewer11 version for viewing the reports.
In IE 6,if the client using fiirst time for vieiwing the reports,it will ask the Activexviewer control prompt and says ok,it will display the reports.
Thanks and Regards
Eshwar

Thanks your advise.But we are using following crystal reports (XI) version and we don't have CRXI with R1 and R2.
CurrentVersion:11.0.0.895 ( CR Developer and Product Type:Full)
Crystal Reportviewer11 configured in the IIS which is version (5.0). and configured the virtual folder to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Business Objects\3.0\crystalreportviewers11\.
Our web application code also configured in the IIS at same level.
When the user wants to see the reports through the application,it will ask the Plugin of Crystal Report Viewer and user will download this plugin and it will save in the IE plug ins.It will ask only first time viewing the reports for the next onwards it will not ask or prompt of the Activex control.
So please suggest me, is there any upgrade version of this Crystal Reportviewer11 needs to be installed or any browser setting need to be configured for IE 7 and IE 8.
waiting for your reply.
Regards
Eshwar

How can I get the View Tab name on the Crystal Report Viewer at runtime?

When a report is displayed in the Windows Forms Crystal Report Viewer and the user drills into the report, the drill down view is displayed in a seperate view and is identified via a View tab at the top of the report. I can determine the index of the view tab that is currently selected, but I need to access the text that is on the View tab. The only properties that I've found that pertain to the "view" on the Crystal Report viewer are the ActiveViewIndex and the ViewCount. Unfortunately, neither of these items help me because they are not specific to a certain section of the report. Has anyone had any luck accessing the View Tab properties ? Thanks.

The tabs at the top of the page are nested within some of the viewers controls. Through trial and error you just have to find the right one. In this case the main part of the report is in the first control. This happens to be a TabControl. From there you can loop through the TabPages on the TabControl to grab the names of the tabs.
Here is a quick example of what I did to get the tab text. All this code was in a button click event.
Control oControl = crystalReportViewer1.Controls[0];
TabControl oTabControl = (TabControl)oControl.Controls[0];
foreach (TabPage oTabPage in oTabControl.TabPages)
MessageBox.Show(oTabPage.Text);

Setting tray selects inside the crystal report
