Static Parameters - Default Values Not Showing On Crystal Server

First, I create a basic report with static parameters. Then I assign default values to the parameters. When I run the report in the Crystal Developer, a window pops up and I see my parameters with the default values assigned. At this point, if I run the report, it runs as expected and uses the default parameter values.
However... if I install this same report on the Crystal Server, select 'Properties' > 'Default Settings' > 'Parameters', I see my parameters but I don't see their default values, yet if I select 'View', then a window pops up and I see my parameters and their default values.
I guess I have the following questions:
1. What's the difference between 'Viewing' and 'Running' a report on the Crystal Server?
2. Why don't I see the parameter default values when I select 'Properties' > 'Default Settings' > 'Parameters' in the Crystal Server?
I see the same behavior whether I use CR Developer XI or 2008. The reports are being run on Crystal Server 2008.

Hi,
There are two modes of saving a report. 1 save your report with data (to do this go in File-- Save Report with Data check this option) 2. Save your report without data (uncheck the above said option)
I think you are saving your report without saving the data with your report. Try to save the report with saved data this will keep your parameter default values.
Viewing is just looking at your report data which was saved along with your report. 'Running' is nothing but you are refreshing your report which will give you current data.
Thanks,
Sastry

Crystal report default values not showing in BOE

Hi,
In Crystal Designer 2008, we can set parameters to have a default value. When we refresh the report in Designer, the default value is the one that's automatically selected. However, once we upload it to BOE, the default value is blank and we must manually re-create them in the Default Value Properties. Anyone knows why it is like that?

Hello,
Make sure you mark the items you want on Defaults inside CAC1 t-code.
You have the following options and from where are they taken of:
- Controlling area -> from IT0001
- Activity type -> from IT0315
- Purchase order -> from IT0315
- Attendance/Absence type -> directly entered in CAC1
- Master cost center -> from IT0000
- Sender business process -> from IT0315
- Service master -> from IT0315
- Cost center -> from IT0315
- Wage type -> directly entered in CAC1

Ssrs parameter default value not showing ,when available values is binded to query dataset

I have developed a report using sql server data tools for vsiual studio2012 ,i have defined few parameters ,on one of the parameter when available values is binded to a dataset query, the report default value is not showing in report preview .
Many Thanks
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
According to your description, you have set the default value for a parameter, but it's not displayed when initially running the report. Right?
In this scenario, since you have set the available values bind to query, so your default values should be within these available values. If these default values are not within the available values, the default values will be not displayed. So please check
the default values.
Reference:
Add, Change, or Delete Default Values for a Report Parameter (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Camera Raw Defaults & Presets not showing menus (BRIDGE)

Hi There
I just upgraded to a new version of PS CS3 & Bridge and the option to apply Presets, or to Apply Camera Raw Defaults is not showing when I right click a file in Bridge. It also doesnt show up in the menu. I need to be able to Batch process hundreds of photos at a time and then convert them to Tif formats. I used to be able to do this by applying my Adobe Camera Defaults to many images at once. How do I do this now????
I am running Bridge 2.0.0975 and PS 10. Help!! This is critical for me!!!
thanks so much!

Agreed. I have gigabytes of disk space packed full of iso's, dmgs, and zips for
(almost) all of the software I've installed on my computers. It's a pain to
manage sometimes, but I know I can go back and reinstall PS7 (for instance) if I
need to even though I have no clue where the CD is at. It's just one part of my
configuration management and backup strategy. I don't have a sysadmin to take
care of this kind of thing for me any more, unfortunately, so I have to do it
myself.
This plan also has the advantage that I don't have to be online to download
older versions from a vendors site (if it's even available) or go searching for
a seeded torrent (if it's not).
I'm not saying this approach is good for every one or even good for anyone but
me, but it is a perfectly valid way of doing things.

Already logged in message but not showing up in Server Admin

Running server software 10.3. Most clients are 10.4.
I have several students that can't log in because it says they are already logged in elsewhere. Normally I go to Server Admin and disconnect them and they can then log in. But I've got about 4 students right now that are NOT showing up in Server Admin, so I can't disconnect them. Any ideas of what might cause this, and more importantly, how to fix it?

I have this issue as well. Rebooting the router and server? I'm glad that works but that should not be necessary. Neither should checking allow simultaneous login on multiple computers in WGM.
I will continue to look for an answer. thanks for the tip.

Parameters that do not show up on default parameter form

Reports upgraded to 6/6i from SQL*ReportWriter/Oracle Reports 2.5 contain parameters that both do and do not show up on the default parameter form.
Is there any property that can be set in the Object Navigator to disable or enable a parameter on the default parameter form. I know I can create a parameter form and specify which parameters are on it, but user created parameter forms look a bit different from the default parameter form in character mode.

You can read "Selecting parameters to include in the Runtime Parameter Form" topic in the Reports on-line help.
I hope this will help you.

Report Document not show on Crystal Report Viewer in C#

My program is modified from VB.NET. Now I struck with Crystal Report that Crystal Report Viewer didn't show Report Document.
Printing code is composed of two forms. One assign parameters and objects need. Other is Crystal Report Viewer form, CrystalReportForm. Last one run report by parameter from the first.
When run this code that it didn't found any error but the problem is no report show on Crystal Report Viewer on second form. It just blank Crystal Report Viewer. There arm't any message response.
Here is my code.
// report caller form.
private void Print()
   CrystalReportForm rptForm = new CrystalReportForm();
   string[] strtbl;
strtbl = new string[1];
   string[] strqry;
strqry = new string[1];
   // prepare var
   string myqry;
   string myrpt;
   // Pass The Table That you used in the crystal Report
strtbl[0] = "r_receipts";
   // Pass the Query
myqry = "SELECT * FROM r_receipts";
myrpt = "rptReceipts.rpt";
strqry[0] = myqry;
   //Pass For Mdi True
rptForm.MdiParent = this.ParentForm;
rptForm.ViewReport(myrpt, strtbl, strqry, "");
   //Parameter Value It is Optional
rptForm.Show();
// Crytal Report Viewer form.
public void ViewReport(string ReportName , string[] TableName, string[] QueryString , string Parameter = "")
   //Me.MdiParent = mainpage;
   if (TableName.Length != QueryString.Length )
   MessageBox.Show("Passed Variable Are Not Correct", "Message", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
   return;
   CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rpt = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
   CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer crv = new CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer();
crv.ActiveViewIndex = 0;
crv.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.FixedSingle;
crv.ToolPanelView = CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.ToolPanelViewType.None;
crv.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
crv.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
crv.Name = "CrystalReportViewer";
   MySqlDataAdapter at =new MySqlDataAdapter();
   DataSet ds = new DataSet();
   for (int i = 0; i < TableName.Length; i++)
at = GetDataAdeptor(QueryString[i]);
at.Fill(ds, TableName[i]);
   string rptPath = "";
rptPath = Application.StartupPath + "\\" + ReportName;
rpt.Load(rptPath);
rpt.SetDataSource(ds);
   if (Parameter != "")
rpt.SetParameterValue(0, Parameter);
crv.ReportSource = rpt;
crv.Refresh();
   //CrystalReportViewer.DataBind();
   //Me.Panel1.Controls.Add(CrystalReportViewer);
   Panel panel1 = new Panel();
panel1.Controls.Add(crv);

Hi Bhushan,
It's not yet fixed. My dataset (ds) can't bine to DataGridView as
DataGridView1.DataSource = ds
But it could do like this
DataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
When I bine to Crystal Report Viewer setdatasource
CrystalReportViewer1.setdatasource = ds.Tables[0];
It still not work, anyway you suggest let me in the right way. I very confuse the thing I fix to bine to DataGridView
Thank,

Metadata values not showing in Site Studio layout using Idoc Script

Hi All,
We have a SS layout (secondary) with replaceable regions for showing content that is listed in a primary page dynamic list.
Part of the layout shows contribution elements of Contributor Data File content items, but part of layout also shows metadata values. We use  to show the content item Title with no problems.
However, for some content items, some metadata values are not showing on the layout - specifically a custom metadata field called xFinishDate (which is of type 'Date' in Config Man). The code  simply does not work (nothing is displayed) for some content items, despite definitely having a set FinishDate value. Some other content items show this value fine.
The  value works for ALL items, but the  does not, and there appears to be no difference between the items that it does, and does not work for. They are all CDF, same DocType, same CheckIn profile, etc.
The non-working items are all released and indexed. Their Content Information in Content Server shows complete metadata. I have resubmitted the non-working items for reconversion in Repo Man but no luck.
Is there something I am missing? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Luke.

Actually the default DOC_INFO resultset that is on the page seems to be for the content item being loaded into the secondary layout's replaceable regions. This is why DOC_INFO.dDocTitle gives the results expected.
However, I think I have discovered why the xFinishDate value was not showing. Using sapan's code (and modifying it a bit) I was able to print out all the metadata field names and values for default DOC_INFO resultset.
Using this URL as an example: http://www.bond.edu.au/about-bond/jobs-at-bond/BD3_011217
At the top of page region (replaceable) where the Contributor Data File is loaded into, the DOC_INFO resultset is relevant to the content item that is being loaded into the layout (content ID: BD3_011217 - as per the URL format), which is what we want.
However, throughout the Contributor Data File content, if a link is made using the Site Studio link wizard via FCK Editor (in the above case, it is the position description link, which is a link to a PDF) and the link is 'Link to a file' and the 'Choose Target section' is selected as 'Use default website section metadata', the resulting link looks like "http://www.bond.edu.au/about-bond/jobs-at-bond/BD3_011216". Any references to the DOC_INFO resultset on the page after the instance of this link now use the metadata of the content item referred to in the link, not the original content item. I have dumped out the DOC_INFO fields/values in different parts of the layout to prove this. The linked content item has no xFinishDate value so this is why nothing displays (displaying xFinishDate needs to happen after the link to the position description).
I guess I need to either:
- change the way the link is made to the content item to "Link to the Content Item's URL", but I would prefer not to expose the resulting path e.g. "[!--$HttpRelativeWebRoot--]groups/group-name/@account-name/documents/content-type/content-id.pdf"
- explicitly make a resultset using  with the content ID I know I want and use it instead of the default DOC_INFO one. Is there any other way to make a resultset comprising of a single item's metadata?
9.45 SS_GET_SEARCH_RESULTS
■ Description: This is a wrapper around the regular CS GET_SEARCH_RESULTS
service. It allows some Site Studio features to be specified simply as flags and have
the real query syntax be constructed on the server. It can modify the standard
'SearchResults' resultset to contain an additional column called 'ssUrl' which will
contain the Site Studio-friendly url for all of the search results.
■ Parameters:
– siteId: the unique identifier of the site (required).
– ssLimitScope: True/False, restricting scope to within the site only (optional).
– ssUserSearchText: user-supplied search text (optional).
– ssWebsiteObjectType: object type (optional).
– computeFriendlyUrls: True/False, modify results to include ssUrl (optional).
■ Returns: resultset named ’Search Results’.
■ Security: The user must have at write access to at least one security group on the
content server
Thanks to everyone for their help. Almost there!

I'm getting the below issue when I try to deploy a report with Dynamic parameters, when I deploy it with static parameters I'm not getting this issue.

I’m getting the below issue when I try to deploy a crystal report with Dynamic parameters in BI Launch Pad, when I deploy the same report with static parameters I can deploy and run it. I have Restarted the BI server, still the issue exitno use. kindly help me on this issue.
“This error occurred: Adding Crystal Report "CrystalReport1.rpt" failed. The server with kind rptappserver returned an error result. Failed to copy the report file to the report object. Refreshing the report object properties might have failed. Failed to read data from report file CrystalReport1. Reason: Failed to read parameter object”.

BO does not run dynamic params through the report as would happen without BusinessObjects (BO) or Crystal Reports Server (CRS). When you publish a report with dynamic parameters to BO/CRS, the prompt is published to the repository so that it can be accessed through the Business View Manager (which can be installed as part of the client tools). In order for this to work a couple of things need to happen:
1. You need to be sure that you check the "Update Repository" box on the Save As screen the first time you publish the report.
2. Your BO/CRS user needs to have "view" access to the Crystal2013ReportApplicationServer in the Servers section in the CMC - in fact, the Everyone group should be given view access to the server in order for dynamic prompts to work correctly.
3. In the Business View Manager, the Administrator user needs to give your user, or, even better, a Crystal Developers group full control access to the "Dynamic Cascading Prompts" folder.
Best practice for dynamic prompts in a BO/CRS environment is to actually create the prompts in the Business View Manager. This will allow you to create a single data connection that can be reused and also create lists of values such that the same list or prompt can be reused by multiple reports. If you just create the prompts in Crystal, you will end up with multiple data connections to the same database, the prompts will use the whole query for the reports to get the dynamic values instead of just a focused query to the lookup table that contains the values, and there ends up being lots of duplication and chaos.

How can I get a default value to show the name instead of the ID.

I have a field with with a LOV that works great! It displays first & last name and returns the ID to the field.
The problem is the users want the first & last name to automatically default in the field without selecting from the LOV. However, I still need to store(return) the ID.
Also are application users username and passwords case sensitive?

Angie, Can you provide some more details.
This is a popup LOV correct? So the field in question is the source database column or is it static or what is it currently?
I am not sure if I understand your business rule of "automatically default in the field without selecting from the LOV" if that is the case why select from the LOV.
None the less try this.. Here is what I am assuming you would like: a value is set on a previous page or throughout yoru application when you arrive on page X a LOV is there that could have it's value derived from an item on a previous page.
So your LOV query should be like this
select a,b from your_table where foo = 'abc' OR :ITEM_VALUE_OF_LOV
make sure you add the "or clause" on your query otherwise the LOV will display the numerical value in the LOV and not the display value
If your LOV source column is a database value and you want to override it in essenece with your default value you can do something like this:
set a pl/sql process on load to:
select value into :P_ITEM_VALUE_OF_LOV from table;
or you could set your source used as "only when null" and set a default value within the element as well..

Hello Simone,
please can you tell me, if the open document function with refresh parameter is working in BO mobile App V 4.0.3 (Build 1211)?
In the Release notes for this Version it is described how to do this:
Open Document
1. Apart from iDocID, sIDType and sDocName, other document identifier parameters are not supported
in the OpenDoc URL.
2. Apart from sReportName, sRefresh, IsM[name] and IsS[name], other input parameters are
not supported in the OpenDoc URL.
3. Session management parameter (token) is not supported.
4. Output parameters are not supported in the OpenDoc URL.
We tried to use the following link, but the report did't refresh with the correct parameters:
http://svie32sapbo1:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=AfFdCbmEEvZIiVXXFLh4iPY&sIDType=CUID&sRefresh=Y&lsMWert=Alarmierung
The Part "Wert=Alarmierung" should be dynamical in future.
Thank you and regards
Wolfgang

Parameter field default values not being set in BO Infoview

For a report, I have three numeric input parameter fields with a default value of -1. When the report is processed in the Crystal Reports development environment, the parameter fields are all displayed with the default values.
When copied and then processed in BO Infoview, the three parameters come up with a value of "Empty". In order for the report to process correctly, these "Empty" fields need to be individually called, a numeric value entered and then the report "Scheduled". Does anyone know of any way to force or get Infoview to use the pre-defined default values of these fields when running with Infoview?
Thanks

In the CMC, you have to config the report object's parameter.
It's under the Process tab of Object.

Rich text default values not appearing in content entry template

Hello all,
Sorry for the repost, but no one seems to have an answer for me in the other forum and I thought I might be able to reach more people here.
I have created a base text item and would like to include default values in some of the attributes. The problem is the default value I set in the rich text field is not appearing when I try to create an instance of my item type.
Is this a bug, or am I not doing something right? All of my other attributes show their default values.
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Static list default value.

I need to retrieve the default value of a static list Crystal report parameter. InfoView honors this setting but I haven't found the field exposed in the Java SDK. I'm using com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data.IParameterField to access the parameter properties.
Any pointers would be most welcome.
Thanks

Hi,
In your model project, create a view criteria (on the VO which you would be using for displaying values in the LOV). In your view criteria add the attributes and set default value (say add Empno and set its value to literal 1111). Now, when creating LOV for the next view object, select the view criteria you've created in previous step (instead of using all queryable attributes).
