Suppress empty report?

Dear all,
is there a way to generate a report instance only if there hits in the recordset? This would avoid sending empty reports. My first idea work-around was to create a report doing a count on the recordset and fire an event in case of hits. This would then trigger the original report. Unfortunately I could not find a way to fire events depending on the number of rows in the recordset.
I'm ob CR XI Server Rel 2
Any help is highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Tilman

Dear all,
found another work-around...
I use a running total to count the number of rows.
In the report footer I add an expression "1/running total". For empty reports a division by 0 will occur and causing the report to fail.
Any better solution? Please!
Bye,
Tilman

Suppressing empty nodes in ALV tree grid

Hi, I'm writing an ALV tree report with financial data broken down by cost element hierarchy. We've determined that the maximum number of levels in our hierarchy is seven so have to build the program to accept seven node levels. Most times when it runs it will find fewer than seven nodes. Is there an easy to to suppress empty columns in the report so that the end user does not not see a bunch of empty nodes in the report?

Expand or Collapse Branches or Hide Areas
You are able to expand and collapse the branches of the tree structure individually or together. Beyond that you are able to make a node or an item completely invisible.

Print empty report

Can I somehow print an empty report, and specify with a parameter how many times it should be repeated?
The report is a form with checkboxes, and sometimes we want the empty one for someone to fill in when out on the field. And since this form is a subreport, we cant print the entire report over again, but need the subreport to be repeated, let's say five times.
/Thank you!

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

Empty Report when field Value is a multiplier of 256

Good morning from South-Tyrol, Italy!
I got a strange behavior of Crystal Reports XI R2 SP5: two tables are combined with an Left Inner Join through an long integer field (the number of the header record of a document and the singles lines of the same document). Now I get an empty report, when the number of the document is 256, 512, 768, 1024 and so on! All other documents are viewed in the right matter.
I'm using the native connection to an Pervasive database (PervasiveSQL 2000i) but the same behavior will happen when I change to ODBC.
With Crystal Reports XI SP4 this problem not occured; I upgraded my application just this weekend!
Thank you for help!

Hi again,
Only for completeness: the problem isn't restricted to the tables described above: always when a table is connected to anther trough an integer (with key) data's arn't retrieved (or displayed).
Dear Don, did you find the origin of the problem? I'm would like to upgrade my application to CrXI R2 because this version resolves a important problem I have with CrXI (application crashes) and need to plan times.
Thank you,
Jens

Empty report with pagination, rows not displayed

Dear HTML DB Team,
We have in our reports the next error: An empty report with pagination appears , no rows not displayed
The test case to reproduce the error:
1. Create "SQL report" with next report attributes in "Layout and Pagination"
a. Row ranges 1-15 16-30 in select list (with pagination)
b. Number of Rows : 15
c. Number of Rows (Item): empty
d. Max Row Count: empty
2. Fill the table on which the report is based with 17 rows
3. Go to the 2nd page of the report , pagination rows 16-17 of 17
4. Remove 2 rows from the table, refresh report
5, The pagination shows now 1 - 15 of 15 rows
- no rows displayed
- no "previous button" ( only )
- no way to get the rows displayed, except logging out and in again
Any suggestions?

Hello,
i encountered the same problem while developing in HTMLDB.
In application builder, i select application Application 106, then click on items, then click next ( the application has 22 global items). Now i want to take a look at the global items in application 105 (there are only 5). In the menu i click Builder - Application 106, select application 105 from Available Applications, click Go and Items. It shows no rows, but says that is displaying rows 1-5, and offers a Next button. No way to see/modify the items unless make a new session or go back to Application 106, Click Previous to see the first page of global items and then again switch to Appication 105 or click to the next button and then manually set pg_min_row=1 in URL.
One more question - is this forum the right place to report bug suspicions, or is there some other special place for that?
Best regards,
Andres

Empty report returned from WEBI and Crystal report when using external hier

Hi,
WEBI and Crystal report build from BEX query returned empty report when we used external hierarchy 0PROFIT_CTR. In BEX we don't have any problems with it.
No authority check is perfomed on the hierarchy when we start the report in WEBI/Crystal. Only check on the hierarchy is performed when the root authorization is assigned to the user

Report with online template runs online, but exports empty report.

I created a simple Table template using the online template builder. The report consists of four columns. It runs fine in online mode, and displays the data. When I try to export this report to any other format, while still viewing the table in the browser, it exports an empty report! Only the title is visible, no data rows.
Just another example of how bad this software is. Every day it's a different bug!

It's the conditional highlighting that breaks the report. I made it so a few rows were emboldened based on the value of one column. Nice feature, Oracle.

Despite using "USER_EXIT" command, getting an empty report when ran the concurrent program.

Hi,
In my report I am using "OE_ORDER_HEADERS_V" view in my data group query. This view is operating unit(OU) specific so, i am using "USER_EXIT" commands in before report and after report triggers correctly.
Despite making above two setups when i ran my concurrent program from front end getting an empty report.
Please help in fixing this.
Thanks
Sandeep.G

Hi All,
Solved the issue !!!
Reason: I am writing report for custom application(XXKES) where i diddn't checked my profile(mo: Operating Unit).
which is 912.
And my OM responsibility is in 204 OU so, this is resolved by changing the OU profile of my custom application to 204.
Next you do this on custom app. make sure your all other coordinating apps are also having same OU profile.

Suppress empty legend/group in pie graph

Hi,
I've created a pie graph using BAM datacontrol.
In the pie graph, the legend area shows an extra empty group.
For eg. in the pie graph if there are 3 slices : High,Medium & Low, then in the legend area 4 legends will be displayed; 3 legends corresponds to the 3 respective groups but an additional legend shows up.
How can we hide/suppress the empty legend/group.
In BAM dashboard we have an option 'Suppress Empty Group' but I didn't found any similar property in the pie dvt component.
I'm using JDev 11.1.1.4.0

the values from our column are from database , then how can we edit the data(values) in that columnErrr..Ohkk. There are 3 methods you can do this:
1) Correct the spelling in underlying DB table by updating the column name (check all the references) - Most Recommended
2) In case you don't want to go for 1st option, you can remove the default legend option in Pie Chart by setting it to none and ADD a new Legend View to this Chart View with correct names
3) Change the fx of that column in criteria like
case when col = 'abd' then 'abc' else col end
All above will solve your problem....

Avoid to display empty report viewer window?

Hi, We use CR4E with Thick Client environment. First we prepare a report as ReportClientDocument. Then we display this with the Crystal Report thick-client viewer. According to the report parameter it is possible that the report does not find data. In this case an empty report viewer window is displayed. We want to avoid that. Is there a way to check the report if it find data or not (e.g. catch the SQL of report). Thx. Peter 

Hallo, I´ve got the same problem.
I want to pass only specific values to
the report. But when I try to launch the viewer,
a parameter field page is displayed. When
I click on "OK" without entering some values the
report is displayed correctly. How can I turn
of displaying this page?

SDK reports under "Collector Base" generates empty report

Hi,
I am trying to develop some custom reports which are very similar to
the ones under "Collector Base" directory.
Is there a document on how to make use of those reports?
My problem is that, even if I build the report (eg. Top 10 report)
without any modification when I upload the report to the Sentinel Log
Manager and run, it generates empty report, i.e. the title and footers
exist but there is no event data inside the charts.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Hi Hakan,
The reports under Collector Base aren't actually intended to be used as
standalone reports - they are templates that are used when constructing
a Collector Pack for a particular Collector. During that build process,
the vendor and product name associated with the Collector are injected
into the report to filter the data. So I'm guessing that what you're
seeing is an artifact of the template not being "converted" into a real
report.
You can probably still use these as starting points, but look in the
report definition specifically for variables that talk about
VendorProduct - I think you'll find such a variable in the query that
you'll have to remove.

Suppress Empty Column Headers

My data form has 4 dimensions selected for a given column. My header for the column displays on a single line, but 3 empty headers appear underneath it before you get to the data portion of the form. Is there a way to suppress empty headers in a data form?

Hi,
For rest of the 3 Dimensions without data you can use the options "Suppress Columns" option.
Open your Data Form and click on Actions-->Suppress Columns--> No Data and Zero. Now you can see only columns with data.
Try this it will help you.

Database - reports - suppress empty fields

I have a fairly large database which frequently has a number of empty fields in the records. Is there a way I can suppress the empty fields when I print a report? It might reduce a nearly 60 page report to 30. A significant saving.
Thanks for any help or ideas.

Here is an enhanced version.
--[SCRIPT report visible records]
Enregistrer en tant que Script: report visible records.scpt
déplacer le fichier créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:AppleWorks 6:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier AppleWorks 6 et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Ouvrir votre base de données,
rendre visible les fiches à imprimer
menu Scripts > AppleWorks 6 > report visible records
Le script crée un document traitement de texte à partir du contenu de ces fiches
À droite des noms de champs, le script insère un caractère 'deux points' suivi d'un TAB ce qui permet d'aligner aisément le début des données affichées.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
+++++++
Save the script as Script: report visible records.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:AppleWorks 6:
Maybe you would have to create the folder AppleWorks 6 and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Open your database
Make visibles the records to print.
menu Scripts > AppleWorks 6 > report visible records
The script creates a new WP document with the contents of these records.
After the fields name, it inserts a colon and a TAB so it would be easy to align the beginning of data values
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
