Upgrading a report from a qry file

Hello
I'm trying to change a bunch of fairly large and complicated reports from using a query file to using a stored procedure so as i can use them in conjunction with business objects server. At the moment i create the stored procedure on sql server 2000, then add the link to the procedure through database expert and then i have to re configure every field in the report to point to the new fields returned by the procedure. Is there an easier way to do this, Can you use another method to upgrade reports that use qry files to use with business objects server?

Hello Graham
Thanks for the reply, I've migrated the query file using the migration wizard and published the report using the publishing wizard. However i now cant view the report because of authentication issues even though i'm using the same credentials as when i migrated and published the report.The database is set as: eor://SERVER_NAME.com.au/AUpb6HgCGK9Ng.dKa.v8.RU I'm assuming this is the CMS database, so this is what i cant log into. Any ideas?

Open CR reports from an xml file

Hi, Im new using Crystall Report technologies and I wonder if this is possible.. I have a web application and want to use some crystall reports that have been designed some time ago...the thing is that I dont want the reports to be compiled with the project..insted I'd like that the project points to the reports through a xml file where Im going to write the paths where the reports are so that if I change of server o file (where the reports are stored) I only have to change the paths in the xml file...can this be done? ...hope you can help me...thanks...bye

Yes, this is can be done. Since you are storing the path to the .rpt files in an xml file, you will need to write some code to retrieve the path to the report. Now that you have the path to the report, when you create an instance of the ReportDocument class, use its Load() method and pass it the path of the report to its argument and you will achieve what you are wanting to do.
To stop the report files from being built as a Resource in your project, change the BuildAction property for the report (in your project) to None.

Upgrading a Report from Crystal Reports 10 to Crystal Reports 11

Post Author: Chakradhar
CA Forum: Upgrade to XI 3.0
HI All,
Please provide a solution for this..
Is there any way to change the version of a report without redesigning the report?
If we upgrade the report without redisign, dont we lose the special features of the new version.
Actually i want to the change from Crystal Reports 10 to Crystal Reports 11.

Hi Chakradhar,
You can open an older version of the report in a new version of designer and just saving it again will automatically convert the version to the new version. To utilized new features you must modify the report and add the new features.

How open a CRWXI Report from a ASP file?

I can't open a report (CRW XI) from an application running on Internet Information Server (asp file) and using a SQL Express 2005 database. Before this database version, I used a MSDE database type and works without problems using a user without password; but now in SQLX this isn't possbile; can somebody help me???

Hi Jose,
As you have discovered database security is there for a reason. Crystal cannot get around it or it would be a major security breach. Which is also why we do not save the password in the RPT file. Example would be someone browsing finds a link to a report that show's everyones personal info and simply runs the report, without prompting for a password, that person now has everyones info and obviously this can cause all sorts of problems.
There are multiple ways to set up security. One way is to create a user account in SQL Server that has access to the database. Open the Reports up in CR Designer and set the User log on info and save the reports, you will need to set a password in code for that generic user but will give them access.
Another option is to use Trusted Authentication. Open the Report up in CR Designer and at the log on screen check on the option to use Trusted. You'll notice the user name an password are grayed out. In SQL Server you now must configure it to use NT Authenication also and import all the users or create all the users who can run these reports.
Bottom line is you cannot get around not using a password, Microsoft did this for a reason, to stop hackers from getting into DB servers that are not protected and accessing personal and sensitive data.
You MUST reconfigure your application to use security. If you have a Database Administrator discuss with them or hire a DBA to work with you on configuring your DB server to work with your application and user base.
Thank you

How to add bookmarks automatically in a monthly report from several excel files?

Hello!
I´m using Excel 2010 and Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
I´m used to create a monthly Report in which several Excel files are combined. I usually sort the booksmarks´ hierarchy manually.
I´m searching for a method to standardize this work.
I it possible to use Acrobat Pro XI and it´s Action Wizard, is that possible?
Best regards, Chris.

Is the length of the reports always the same? If so then a bookmarks
structure can be quite easily added using a script.
If not then it still might be possible but will require a much more complex
script to identify and then bookmark each report (or part thereof)
separately.

Essbase reports from the .sec file

Hi,I have an essbase app/database which has multiple filters. The security on the users are based on the filter setup on the user for this app/db. I want to be able to create a report which shows the app/database name, user id, filter setup on the userid, date when this was setup, date updated. Is there any possible way to get this? Currently I am on version 6.5.4? Does the 7.1 have any features that will allow this?ThanksAnde

I've used MAXL extensively to assist in managing security. There are a number of commands that are applicable; most notably display filter, display group, and display privilege.MAXL runs on 6.5.4 and is a lot more functional than Esscmd in system administration. You might want to play around with it a bit. If you have 6.5.4 AppMgr on your box, you have MAXL; extesnsive on-line help is available.

Restore selected report from biar file using biarengine.jar

Hi Experts,
I have created a biar file with full backup of my boe server using biar command line tool.
Now I want to test the biar by importing a selected report from that biar file. How should I form my properties file? Does the exportQuery property work when action=importXML ?
Many thanks,
PASG

Hi,
I found that always the full backup is being restored if I execute biarengine.jar to restore the biar file and it ignores exportQuery parameter.
What I did to restore a selected report from that biar file is as below:
1. Change the extension of the biar file to .zip.
2. Extract the files.
3. In the BusinessObjects.xml file, keep only those infoobjects which has to be restored and delete all other infoobjects.
4. Zip the files.
5. Change the extension of the zip file to .biar.
6. Execute biarengine.jar to restore the objects.
I checked and found that by this way, I can restore a selective object from the biar file.
Just wanted to know if this is a recommended approach or not. Can there be any issue later ?
Regards,
PASG

From 6i to 10g "How to run a 10g report from OEM scheduler"

We recently converted all of our 6i form and reports to 10g. We had forms and reports running as batch processes.
Now that we are using 10g it is understood that we cannot run the forms as we did in 6i using OEM scheduler, so they were converted to scripts.
Our problem still remains, How do we run 10g reports as batch processes?
Can we use OEM scheduler?
Is there a better product to accomplish this task?
...

Hello,
How do you execute your Reports ?
Do you execute it from the Builder ?
If you execute it from the Builder, do you use Run Web Layout or Run Paper Layout ?
(If you have upgraded a Reports From 6i, there is no web layout , so you have to use the Run paper Layout
The web layout is something new that appeared in Reports 9.0.2)

Running report from Forms 10g?

I have a 10g report that has a parameter form in it that I'm running from a 10g form using the method described in the whitepaper "Oracle Forms Services – Using Run_Report_Object() to call Reports with a parameter form".
When I run the report from the form the html parameter is displayed like the whitepaper describes but I'm getting the Rep-0546: Invalid parameter input. Anybody know what's cauising this error.

I've upgraded the report from 4.5 so there aren't any quotes in it. If I run the report with paramform=no and pass a parameter to the report it runs fine. The problem is that I need the report to run both ways. The one thing that I've found that is strange is the reports parameter has a validation trigger on it and if I remove the trigger from the report the parameter form isn't displayed at all and I get a blank report. I'm running the report to Cache and displaying it using web.show_document.

REP-1419: 'beforereport': PL/SQL program aborted.I dont believe payment batches are used anymore as they need to be done via Payment profiles and therefore you will need to use Payment Instruction ids instead. Also the setup at R12 is Mosaic
try including this. as the first statement in the Beforereport trigger. All the banks tables payment tables has changed so unless you have changed these to you will need to adjust these correctly to the R12 tables.

How to check the report builder version from the rdf file

Hi,
I have a rdf file but I don't the developer using which version of report builder to develop the rdf file. So, does anyone knows how to check the rdf file is developed by which version of report builder?
When I try to use the notepad to open the rdf file, it shows the string "ROS.60050". So, does it means that the rdf file is developed by Oracle report 6i?
Besides, do anyone knows if Oracle report 6i are still offer from Oralce (as I know, the latest verison of oracle report is 11g). So, in case Oralce not offer oracle 6i and I need to buy oracle report 11g, do u know it is compatiable or I need to do the migration from 6i to 11g?
Thanks!

Hi,
The ROS version you are seeing in the RDF file does not mean the version where that RDF was developed. I am not aware of a way to check this but something that may help is that when you try to open a RDF developed in a higher version
of Reports with a lower version of Reports builder the following warning will be displayed
Warning. Opening a report saved with a newer version of Reports Builder.
Functionality may be lost. Continue?
"You tried to open a report with a version of Reports Builder older than the version used to
create the report. If the report uses functionality unavailable in the older version, that
functionality will be eliminated from the report.
Regarding Oracle Developer 6i. This version is not supported any more. Regarding how to upgrade Reports 6i to 11g and what to have in mind during the upgrade please review the following documentation.

Upgradation of Crystal reports from 7.0 to 11.0

Upgradation of Crystal reports from 7.0 to 11.0I have reports created in CR 7.0 which need to upgraded to CR XI. These upgraded reports are accessed though an application developed in VC++. To view the report created in CR 7.0, i have used PDSODBC.DLL and CRPE32.DLL. What DLLs should be used for the upgraded reports.Thanks in advanceRajkumar S

It will take more than just the .dll files - there are MAJOR changes in the object model when you move to XI.Â You'll want to check the samples in the Developer Library (the link is in the menu above...)Â
Click on "Viewers SDK", "Developer Guides and API Reference", and "COMÂ developerÂ guideÂ andÂ APIÂ reference" for documentation.Â There is also a "Samples" link.Â I haven't found specific C++ examples, but there are ASP and Java examples that you can work from.
