D. Maton,
You are correct with you statement that the XL Reporter does not currently support User Defined Fields. This is a feature that will be available in future releases.
Thank you,

Creating reports for user tables using XL reporter

Hi all
i wish to create a report based on user tables using the XL reporter.
question is: is it possible? and if so how can it be done?
appreciate the help
Yoav

Hi Yoav,
XL Reporter cannot pull data from UDTs. However, you can use an Excel template when creating your XL Reporter report and then embed VBA code in the template to pull the UDT data in to the report after the XL Reporter has finished generating the report. It all depends on how you need to combine the UDT data with other SBO data. If you are interested in a report based entirely on UDT data then it would be simpler just to write the report using VBA in Excel (or Crystal).

Crystal Report error trying to retrieve data from a user table

Hi,
I'm making crystal report application with VS 2005 and I need to retrieve data form a user table. I'm using Pull method, I configure the connection and parameters by code.
I think that the problem could be the @ that is used to identify these tables. Please, if some body had this problem before and have a solution, please let me know asap.
Thanks

Hi Andrea,
I had the same problem today. I upgraded from Crystal Version 8 to 11 and the problem was solved. Maybe it is too late for you, but I wanted to post the solution if anybody else has the same problem.

User defined table in XL Reporter

Hi Everyone,
Can a user defined table be used in XL Reporter. I know we can add user defined fields to be used in XL Reporter but can we also make use of user defined table to draw data in a XL Reporter report?
If yes, how can we add them.
Thank you for your help.

Payal

Hi,
It does not seem that the information can be extracted from User Defined Tables in XL Reporter.
May be you can have a look at the Landing Page of XLR and check if you can find something relevant :

Hi,
As far as i know, SBO can't figure out in such instance what are you doing, try linking it to an original table.
I usually use OADM for this purpose.
Hope this helps.

"Failed to open the connection" problem related to multiple tables in the report?

Post Author: Gadow
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
System specifics:
Web environment using ASP.Net 2.0 (from Visual Studio 2005 Professional)
Crystal Reports 2008, v. 12.0.0.549, Full
We have set up the following method for displaying reports via our website:
User is sent to a report-specific page. The user is given some filtering options specific to the report that will be viewed. When the user has specified the data filters, the user clicks a button.
The page wraps up the report parameters -- selection query, formula values, report location, the name to be displayed, etc. -- into a class which gets put into the Session object.
The page redirects to DisplayReport.aspx. ALL reports redirect to this page.
DisplayReport.aspx retrieves the report parameters from Session. A ReportDocument object is created and loaded, then set with the data from the parameters class.
A ConnectionInfo object is created and set with the relevant log on credentials. All of the reports draw from the same database, so the connection information is hard-coded as the same for all reports. The page then iterates through all of the tables in the Database.Tables collection of the ReportDocument and calls ApplyLogOnInfo to each table using the ConnectionInfo object.
The page is rendered and the user gets the filtered report.
We currently have seven reports. Five reports work fine and display the correctly filtered data with no error messages. Two reports generate a Failed to open the connection error and do not display. I have verified that the queries being sent to DisplayReport.aspx are valid, and as I said the connection information itself is hard-coded in the one page that displays the reports and this is identical to all reports.
The five reports that do work all have a single data table, either an actual database table or a single view. The two reports that do not work all have multiple tables. As far as I can tell, this is the only difference between the sets; all seven reports are based on the same DSN and I have verified the database on all of the reports. All of the reports were written using Crystal Reports 8, and all of the reports display fine in a Windows app I wrote some years ago using Crystal Reports 8. Again, the only difference between those reports that do work and those that do not is the number of tables used in the report: one table or view in the reports that display, more than one table (tables only, none use views) in the reports that do not display.
As for the code I am using, below are the relevant methods. The function MakeConnectionInfo simply parses out the components of a standard SQL connection string into a ConnectionInfo object. DisplayedReport is the ID of the CrystalReportViewer on the page.Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Dim o As Object = Session("ReportParams")
        Dim ReportURL As String = ""
        'Verify that there is a ReportParameters object
        If o Is Nothing OrElse o.GetType IsNot GetType(ReportParameters) Then 'Redirect to the error page
            Response.Redirect("/errors/MissingReport.aspx")
        End If
        ReportParams = CType(o, ReportParameters)
        'Verify that the report exists
        ReportURL = "/Reports/ReportFiles/" + ReportParams.ReportName
        ReportPath = Server.MapPath(ReportURL)
        If Not File.Exists(ReportPath) Then
            Response.Redirect("/errors/MissingReport.aspx?Report=" + ReportParams.ReportTitle)
        End If
        InitializeReport()
    End Sub
    Protected Sub InitializeReport()
        Dim RD As New ReportDocument
        Dim CI As ConnectionInfo = MakeConnectionInfo(DB_Bonus)
        Dim RPF As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField = Nothing
        RD.Load(ReportPath)
        If ReportParams.SelectString <> "" Then
            Dim Adapt As New SqlDataAdapter(ReportParams.SelectString, DB_Bonus)
            Dim DS As New Data.DataSet
            Adapt.Fill(DS)
            RD.SetDataSource(DS.Tables(0))
        End If
        For Each kvp As KeyValuePair(Of String, String) In ReportParams.Formulas
            Dim FFD As FormulaFieldDefinition = Nothing
            Try
                FFD = RD.DataDefinition.FormulaFields(kvp.Key)
            Catch ex As Exception
                'Do nothing
            End Try
            If FFD IsNot Nothing Then
                Select Case FFD.ValueType
                    Case FieldValueType.DateField, FieldValueType.DateTimeField
                        If IsDate(kvp.Value) Then
                            FFD.Text = String.Format("Date()", Convert.ToDateTime(kvp.Value).ToString("yyyy, MM, dd"))
                        Else
                            FFD.Text = "Date(1960, 01, 01)"
                        End If
                    Case FieldValueType.StringField
                        FFD.Text = String.Format("""""", kvp.Value)
                    Case Else
                        'For now, treat these as if they were strings. If things blow up here,
                        'we will need to add the appropriate formatting for the field type.
                        FFD.Text = String.Format("""""", kvp.Value)
                End Select
            End If
        Next
        For Each T As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In RD.Database.Tables
            Dim TLI As TableLogOnInfo = T.LogOnInfo
            TLI.ConnectionInfo = CI
            T.ApplyLogOnInfo(TLI)
        Next
        DisplayedReport.ReportSource = RD
    End Sub
Does this approach not work with reports containing multiple tables, or is there something I'm missing? Any meaningful suggestions would be much appreciated.

Dynamic display of fields of table in ALV report.

To display the records of a table in ALV report dynamically such that first 10 fields of the table should only be displayed excluding 'mandt' field .
That is field no 2nd to 11th should be displayed.

parameters: p_vari type slis_vari.
at selection-screen on value-request for p_vari.
perform alv_variant_f4 changing p_vari.
form alv_variant_f4 changing l_vari type slis_vari.
On F4 for layout selection - Get laouts created to this report.
data: l_variant type disvariant.
l_variant-report   = sy-repid.
l_variant-username = sy-uname.
call function 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4'
    exporting
      is_variant = l_variant
      i_save     = 'A'
    importing
      es_variant = l_variant
    exceptions
      others     = 1.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    l_vari = l_variant-variant.
endif.
Create a structure
data: wa_layout type disvariant.
fill up the layout with selected fields.
wa_layout-report = sy-repid.
wa_layout-username = sy-uname " Choose this if you want user specific
wa_layout-variant = p_vari.
Assign the same to the REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
it is a import paramter IS_VARIANT = wa_layout.
All you have to do is first execute the report and save layouts what exactly you want
and then next time you run the report you will get a chance to select the layout of your own.
or
You can get rid of MANDT field from fieldcatalog and internal table by creating a new
structure. I mean, if you know you always want to display the field from 2 to 11 then simply
delete the field from fieldcatalog.
You can assign to different field catalog using Field symbols and change your internal
table as well since you have created a dynamic internal table.
Let me know if you need more.

How to use non-default Alias Table in Analyzer report

Hi,I defined many alias tables in Essbase. I would like to use a different alias table other than the "default" in Analyzer 6.5 report. In the on-line help, it said I can modify in "database connection properties" when first defining a new report to use a specific alias table. It tells me to do the following: Click the "New" toolbar button. Select a Display Type or Layout, and click OK. Right-click a database connection name in the "Select Database Connections" dialog box, and select Modify from the right-click menu.So I did this, but as I did the last-right click, there is no "Modify" option available. Only has "Add New..", "Database Connection Properties.." However, if I defined a new personal database connection using the login user, I can select to use other alias table. But this will go to personal database connection properties.Is it possible to specifically tell Analyzer to use other alias the global level in database connection? What I use to do is to have certain reports to use the default alias, and another to use another alias table. These reports should be able to share across all users.Sam

In deed it is fix in the GA.Another way to set the alias table is to do it in the Admin client. If you add a connexion to a user there is a new 6.5 button "set alias" that allow you to set the default alias table for this specific user. But, it does not exit on a user group level.

Layout issue - More than one table sections on report?

Hello all
I am wondering if any of you know if there is a way to have more than one table or table field on a report.
I'm asking this because I'd like to include a large number of fields in one report, but then that makes the report hard to read (everything is on one long line).
I am wondering if there is a way to have more than one table section on a report so I could have the address information at the top of the report than have other additional information below the address. Basically I'm interested in making things easier to read for the user.

Use Pivot tables to isolate the columns you want in each table in your report.

User Table Key set up in User defined field management

Dear Expert,
what is use of User Table Key set up in User defined field management in SAP B1.
Thanks.
Sridharan.R
Edited by: Sridharan.R on Oct 4, 2011 8:26 AM

Hi,
Once a UDF is created and a value is entered in it, the same cannot be retrieved in any of the layouts and reports unless a Key is generated for that UDF. By assigning a Key to that UDF, the same UDF can be used in Crystal Reports or any other Reporting tool to extract its values from SAP. These reporting tools searches the Uniqueness of the UDF Values with this Keys only.
For eg.: When you develop a report and select a table from which you need the fields to be shown in the layout. In that, the only fields whose keys are generated are only available to use in the report.
Hope its clear to you.

Papil

Need to print Current user Name in crystal report in B1

Hi all,
In Crystal reports there are 2 current user fields
CurrentCEUserName
and CurrentCEUserID
I have tried to add these fields to the footer of my reports, but no information comes out.
Is there any way to find out the current user and print their user name on the report?
Users have 2 id's. Where can I find this info and add it to the report.
A) the windows user id if possible
B) the SAP user id
Thanks
Chris

HI,
If you want SAP user id ,add OUSR table and pick user id from that table.

I canu00B4t do a formatted search in a user table

Hye, I'm trying to do a formatted search over a user table using and I get the error -2006, why?
I use "report generator" and my selecc is :
SELECT T0.U_grupo, T0.U_CODE
FROM T0
WHERE T0.U_grupo ='[%0]' FOR BROWSE
If I do the same with standar table ( e.j OITM), all is right:
SELECT T0.ItemCode, T0.ItemName
FROM OITM T0
WHERE T0.PrchseItem ='[%0]' FOR BROWSE
unless, with user tables no, whyyyy?
thank´

I have seen this, though I don't have an official answer, I have my own theories. SBO matches up the variable with the previous field name and looks up the description for that field. The description for user fields is not stored in the same place as standard fields.
In a previous thread, named "SQL Syntax in SBO" (number 7144) another user showed a way to do dummy selects with the variables to get the names of standard fields. Then the variables can be used for the real work.
That is awkward, and it limits you to the descriptions of standard fields.

Report run very slow because some user accessing the same report

Dear All,
I group my table into 3 tablespace And some reports, accessing different tablespace (more than 1 table space). and these report will always be run by 5 user in the same time. and make it run very slow. Is it going to make the report very slow ? Please advice
Thanks in advance
Widhi

Hi,
i hope that may not be the actual problem..
if ur report processing includes relatively high
amount of calculations on tables..then the report
processing can be very slow...
In that case try to create a table to store ur calculations
temporarily and try to use that table in the report..

User Tables & DB Relations

Is there a way to relate a specified field in a user table to a field in a Business One table?

We have developed an add on that tracks specific, proprietary data in the Service Call module. We are using User Tables for "Service Call Lines".
For example:
@USR_SCL1
@USR_SCL2
@USR_SCL3
Each of these tables have a field named "U_fk_CallID".
I am trying to include some of these tables into the Tech Form of the service call. However, when I relate the U_fk_CallID field to the Service Call ID in PLD, B1 relates the two tables through:
OSCL.CallID <--> @USR_SCL1.Code
I am thinking that if I can manually set the correct relation in B1, it will relate them correctly for reporting.
