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.
Cheers,
Muhammad

RUNNIG CRYSTAL REPORTS FROM ORACLE FORMS (for oracle report team too)

I WANT TO RUN CRYSTAL REPORT FROM THE ORACE FORMS 6i how can i
run this if any one has syntax or any detail please send me
or reply
thanks

Ask the Crystal support forum how do you invoke their tool from
a command line.
You can then use host command from forms.
You can also try and find out if they have an OLE2 interface and
then work with the OLE2 package in forms.

Can you drill to an xmlp report from a query or xlmp report?

Within PeopleSoft Financials 9.1 (people tools 8.51) is it possible to create an expression to drill down to an xmlp report?
I have two reports, summary and detail. Each report has its own source query. Within the summary query I added a drilling url expression to drill to the detail query and pass values to run the detail query. I would like to add a second url to drill to the xmlp report . I tried doing this by using the “component url”. This only gets me to the “query report viewer” page. I can’t get it to open up the detail report. Is there a way to add the drilling url in my query or directly to the RTF report so that the detail report can be drilled to directly from the summary report? Can it pass parameters from the summary report?
Thanks,
Raquel

How to add results to report from sequence call disabled in report options ?

Hello,
I need to add text to report from a sequence called by a sequence call. The record results option for the sequence call is disabled because the sequence call is normally done thousands of times. Therefore, I don't want to fill in useless text in the report. But, if a certain condition in called sequence fulfills, I would put a text into the report. (Yes, this is related to a sporadic communication problem with the instrument which I want to record into the report.) Which options I have ?
I have attached an example which doesn't add the text from the sequence to the report.
Regards,
Petri

Hello Ray,
I encounter same behaviour with NONE adapter action step with post-expression as with a statement step as in my first example. With other words, if record results in sequence call in mainsequence is disabled, I cannot get any records into the report.
Attached a modified sequence using NONE adapter action.

When calling report from forms, only html format report can show chinese characters

To all experts,
When I run report by calling run_report_object() in forms, only html format can show chinese characters. If I choose pdf format, garbage characters were shown instead of chinese characters. My settings on server are as follows:
NLS_LANG=TRADITIONAL CHINESE_HONG KONG.UTF8
FORMS60_REPFORMAT=PDF
Do you know why? I hope to print report in PDF format as PDF turned out to be more regular in format. Is there any additional settings required?
May experts here broaden my mind?
Richard

You have two different ways of generating Japanese PDF files from Reoprts. One is font aliasing and the other is font subsetting.
<font aliasing>
You will need to have the following entries in uiprint.txt (example).
[ PDF ]
.....JA16SJIS = "KozMinPro-Regular-Acro"
"MS UI Gothic".....JA16SJIS = "KozMinPro-Regular-Acro"
You may need to download and install Japanese Font Pack from Adobe's web site (if your Acrobat is non-Japanese version).
<font subsetting>
You will need to add C:\WINNT\Fonts (or wherever your TTF/TTC fonts are installed) to your REPORTS_PATH.
You will also need to have the following entries in uiprint.txt (example).
[ PDF:Subset ]
"Andale Duospace WT J" = "Aduoj.ttf"
"Albany WT J"="AlbanWTJ.ttf"
"MS UI Gothic" = "msgothic.ttc"

Data missing while running a crystal report from SAP B1 2007A

Dear All,
I am facing an issue that is if i run a report from SAP B1 using Crystal reports AddOn, it misses out some data.
Few Initial pages and a last page appears in the report. But when i run the same report using Crystal reports Designer it shows the actual number of pages. I have tested the above discussed issue on the server & workstation machines.

Dear All,
I would like to explain the above posted problem in detail. I need your generous help, I am facing an issue that is for Crystal Reports which are based on 'Financial Templates' data is missing out. For Example, If i run the report using 'Crystal Reports Designer' it is showing the whole Financial Template based on 5 pages, but if I try to run it from 'SAP Business One'
using 'Crystal Reports AddOn' it is missing out the data e.g. it is showing Page 1 and then Page 4 & 5.
Page No. 2 & 3 is missed out. For your information it was running fine from the past two months now I am
facing issues in running it. Rest of the reports are running fine.
I have tried reinstalling the Crystal Reports Runtime and Crystal Reports AddOn for SAP B1 on
Client machines, but the problem is not resolved yet.

Database error when trying to view Crystal Report from InfoView

I am receiving the following error when I try to view or run a Crystal Report from the InfoView. The report is based on an SAP InfoSet.
"Failed to load database information."
The report data can be refreshed with no trouble from within the Crystal Reports designer on my local machine, but the error occurs after it is published to the InfoView. The same error appears when trying to import into Excel using LiveOffice.
Server details:
-Edge 3.1
-Windows 2003 64-bit
-SAP Integration kit installed
Local Crystal Reports machine details:
-Windows XP
-SAP Integration kit installed
-Crystal Reports 2008
My steps to troubleshoot so far:
-Checked Database Logon details in CMC for the report. Username and password are entered correctly.
-Cycled all CrystalReports background services off and on again from the CMC
-Rebooted server
Have I missed anything? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
do you have any connectivity from your EDGE to the SAP System ? Like can you import roles or run a WebI ?
Regards
-Seb.

Unablo to open Crystal report from infoview

Hello Experts,
I have an issue while opening crystal report from BOBJ Infoview.
The report opens for some users and some users are getting this error.
" Internal error. Please contact your system administrator. [RCIRAS0216] ", the report is based on bw query and the users has access to this query,the users are able to execute other report based on same query.
Even some users who are administrator group members are getting this error.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Kish

It happens to only one report,but when i changed the option to "Use same database logon when report is run" in CMC, it resolved the issue.
But i was wondering why the report encountered this error for the same user for whom it was working good in the past.
Thanks,
Sai

Reports from SAP BPC NW 7.5

Hi All,
Our Landscape:
SAP ECC EhP1
SAP BW 7.10
SAP BOBJ XI 3.1 (WebI/Crystal/Xcelsius)
SAP BPC NW 7.5
We are new to BPC. We would like to know where do we need to develope the reports on BPC data. Can some one help me on this. If some one have any best practices or options that where we can develope the reports, pls let me know
Like we can do reporting directly on BPC with only couple of reports from BW/BOBJ or all reports from BW/BOBJ.
Here we are planning to use BW as warehouse solution and BOBJ tools for reporitng on BW data.
Thanks,
Bala

Hi Bala,
BPC is a planning & a reporting tool. It can also be used for Consolidation. As mentioned in the previous reply, the data in BW has to be made available in BPC Application (cube) to be able to report it out.
You might need to create transformation files and conversions files between your BW cubes and the BPC cubes to realise the data transfer to BPC application (cube). Note, BPC cubes are automatically generated when you create an application from the BPC front end.
Please refer to some good introductory blogs available on SDN to get to know the BPC terminology and BW terms. Then BPC has an reporting tool in itself. You can create reporting using EVDRE for example which displays the data landed in BPC cubes. This typically will have actual data (loaded from BW), plan data (planned through Input Schedules or flat file data loads).
Hope this give some brief idea.
Thanks

This is my very simple inventory. On previous program I could sort by those items that did not have any figure in the row across. Then I could print a report of open inventory. Such as 149 Lidded Vase has not sales amount in the four colums across, thus it is open inventory. How can I capture all those items in one report?

Problems with reports from StarLIMS

Has anybody experience with Crystal Reports from StarLIMS?
Sometime the reports appear far from what expected, missing stuff etc.
Looks to me like an interface definition problem.
Can anyone help?
-karl

Hi Don
I have not yet got the "permission" for posting requests on the StarLIMS forum. I guess I should renew my application ?
Actually I don't know details such as version of the CP nor if they are using the CR Designer. I'll find out.
Thanks. I'll be back with more details.

Migrating report from 6i to 11g

I am migrating reports from 6i to 11g.
I am calling report from form. All the reports works fine.
But in this report I have to pass parameter at runtime and report should save in pdf format at a given location.
forms & report version : 11.1.2
Database : 11g
Operating system : windows 7 professional.
Below is the code i am running.
declare
pl_name VARCHAR2(30) := 'tempdata';
pl_id ParamList;
x VARCHAR2(150);
y NUMBER;
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('MALWADKARCONSUMPTIONSTMTDBR1');
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List(pl_name);
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'background',TEXT_PARAMETER,'Yes');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER, 'FILE') ;
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER, 'PDF') ;
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'VCOMPANY',TEXT_PARAMETER,:block50.COMPANYNAME);
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'VLYCOMPANY',TEXT_PARAMETER,:block50.COMPANYNAME);

Destroy_parameter_list('tempdata');
END;
Above code doesn't show any error but report is not generated in the provided location.
Is modification to be done in the above code?
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
as stated before if the desname value is pointing to the client filesystem it wont create the output there because Reports Server is not running on the client, it is running on the server as this is the way it is.
If you want to save output to the client you need to use the options mentioned before.
For testing purposes only change your code as follows.
e.g
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESNAME',TEXT_PARAMETER, 'c:\'||vACNAME||' '||:BLOCK50.DOCDATE||'.PDF') ;
As you can see I changed the original folder name to C:\ .. (I hope your reports serve is running on a Windows machine if not then changed to /tmp). Run your form and check c:\ or /tmp and see if you see the report output there. If so,
than your code is fine the only problem is what I have already stated.

Urgent: Getting FRM-41211 when calling reports from forms for first time.

Hi,
We are running into the FRM-41211 error, when the users try to call a report from a form. The report is called from a form in SYNCHRONOUS mode. This is the only report that is being called. No other report is
running at that time when the users get this error. This is happening only the first time when they try to call the report from the form. After getting this error, when they click on OK, and when they try to call this
report again, the report works fine.
Any ideas?? It's urgent...
Thanks
Vamshi.
