Users cannot enter parameters in CRM Custom Reports

Need assistance:
Out of 200+ users of our CRM deployment, I have two end users who cannot enter parameters into the parameter fields on a report. The fields appear when the report is selected from the reports list, however the fields are not accessible to these
two users. No data can be entered in them, nor can the combo boxes be dropped down to select from. No other users are encountering this issue on the same report, including me. It would seem to be a security or permissions issue, but I have
verified that these users have identical permissions to other users who can populate parameters on this report.
Please advise, I am happy to provide any other necessary info needed to identify the issue
EG

Found a solution. Users needed to change from https to http to force the report param fields to be accessible. This is not the ultimate solution, but is a work around for now. Any other suggestions would be appreciated

Export Report to PDF after user has entered parameters

Hi All,
I have a problem exporting a report to PDF using "ReportExportControl" after a user has entered parameters, instead of showing the download prompt, it displays the report using the parameters as if it was using "CrystalReportViewer"
If I program the input fields using "ParameterFieldController" then the exporter works as expected.
Is there anything in particular needed in order to export a report with user inputted parameters?
Thanks in advance.
Michael

Hi Ted, thanks for your reply,
What I am seeing at the moment is as follows
The report requires parameters from the user in order to generate the report, and a webpage asking the user to inputs is shown, the same one that is shown by "CrystalReportViewer" function, once the user has inputted the parameters they click the "OK" button and the report generates on screen, using the parameters entered, behaving like "CrystalReportViewer" function, what I need is once the user click "OK" it will prompt for download as attachment, which is not happening.
For your suggestion, I already have that coded and its still not working, Please find my code attached
// Create a exporter object
ReportExportControl exportControl = new ReportExportControl();
exportControl.setReportSource(clientDoc.getReportSource());
// Exporter Options
ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
exportControl.setExportOptions(exportOptions);
exportControl.setExportAsAttachment(true);
exportOptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
// Process the http request to export the report
exportControl.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(), null);
// Dispose of the exporter object
exportControl.dispose();
with the above code the report will display on screen, but if i include this before the code
//Use the ParameterFieldController to pass parameter values to the report
ParameterFieldController paramController;
paramController = clientDoc.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
paramController.setCurrentValue("", "Parameter name", Val);
the report doesnt show the input screen and generates as attachment
Hope this makes my situation abit clearer
Thanks and regards
Michael

How to customize SAPlogon so that the user cannot enter transaction code?

I use PFCG to create a role which limit the choices of menu. I create a user and set the role to the user.
I would like to disable or hide the COmmand Field so that the user cannot enter transaction code directly.
Is it possible to do so?
If yes, would anyone show me how?
Any discussion is welcome.

anyway you are going to restrict the user authorization vai role, insted of going throught the whole tree to execute the tcode there is shotcut as command line. here you can save much more time for the user insted going through the tree always. there is no harm for the system if you keep the command line option. What and why you think it should be disabled?
Cheers,

Returning User Password in Java code for custom reports

Hi I'm doing a custom report and for the life of me I can't seem to find the password field in the database. :(
Anyways I'm thinking maybe I can use java code to return the password and then using the decrypt password function. Could someone please shed some light on this!!!
Note: I need to return the User password using java code and not XPRESS code. It would be best if someone either shows me how you can get the password using a java method or tell me where the User password is stored as I'm going crazy trying to find it in the DB!!!
Thanks in advance!!!

well... not sure what your Java code does. But if you can get the WSUser object for each user, you could call getPassword on the object to get the user's password

How to restrict user to enter duplicate items in Purchase Order Lines?

I have to do form personalization so that user cannot enter duplicate items in the PO.
At when-new-item-instance in PO-Approve field, I have created a database function that is taking the count of items and returning the count value.
In the condition I have given condition:
1<(select func_name(parameter) from dual)
10 message duplicate items in the po
But its not working fine.
Thanks & Regards
Sunny

Hi,
The issue is resolved on my own exploration. We need to maintain the different authorization keys for the status which we did not want a user to access. If we leave it blank it will allow user to access.

Disable jTable so that user cant enter any value & is stopped to do so

Hi
my program has 2 options for user: 1. To enter a list of values(for which im using table), 2. To use default values embedded in the program.
for these options i have used jRadioButtons n ButtonGroup.When user selects DefaultValues radiobutton program uses default values,but when it selects DefaultValues radiobutton i want to disable the Table such that the user cannot enter any value in the cell and it should be visible to the user too that the table has been disabled.
The user should only b able to enter values in table if he/she selects the first option's radiobutton.
note: im using DefaultTableModel, if somebody can tell me any way other than using isCellEditable(),it would be more appreciatable
thanks

Is there any way to create fields reports users can enter data into?

I am using Crystal XI to develop reports for my company and have not received any formal training on it. I'm learning it fairly well through the help files.
One of the reports I need to create summarizes our scrap, rework, and additional incurred expenses for our monthly quality reports. Most of the information is stored in the main program used by all employees, a very small amount of it is not. I have created sub-reports for each of the different types of costs that are tracked in the system.
Is there any way to create an area on the report that our QA people can use to enter the items not tracked in the main system? I am imagining that it would be through another sub-report of some kind, but do not know how to create the fields needed.
Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide, even if it is to tell me "You can't do that, ma'am..." At least then I would know and wouldn't beat my head against the desk trying to figure out how to do it.

Is defining parameter prompts in the Crystal Report and displaying it in the report a possible workaround?
If you define parameter prompts, then Crystal will query the user before running the report - so this would be problematic if the user needs to reference data in the report to enter appropriate values (one possibility then is to use interactive parameters feature available in CR 2008).
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

How to create a custom report and include multiple extended CRM database?

I have created a number of CRM databas extensions and applied all there fields to my contacts and cases.
I might have for example:
- Additional address details
- Business information
- Quote Details
- Trade Referees
I know how to run a custom report and that I can select any one of these extra CRM databases as a filter and included them in the report. Is there a way though to add more than one (preferrably all) of the extra CRM databases to the report?
The onely ways I can see it work is by either include all fields in one extra CRM database (not ideal) or bu running multiple reports and merge them somehow in Excel.
Is there another way that I am not aware off?
Thanks for your help,
Jerun

Hi Jerun,
There's no way to do that. You'll need to run separate reports and merge them in Excel.

Have a look at below link it shows step by step how to create custom SSRS report.
http://www.njevity.com/blog/creating-dynamics-crm-2011-reports-sql-reporting-services-pre-filtering-and-default-filters
It tells using fetchxml, you can use SQL query as well. You need to use pre filtering to run report on selected record.

Custom report toshow the "Last Logon User Name"

Is it possible to create a custom report to display the "Last Logon User Name" field that appears in the Properties of each computer object ?

Yes, download the RDL file and modify the report. If the user name is not in one of the current datasets, then you have to add it first.

Custom Report: the list of IT ROLES of one or more users

Hi all,
I want to do a custom report that gives me the list of IT ROLES of one or more users. Anyone could give me some guidelines?
Thanks

according to the docs... if I interpret them right
getRoles returns roles assigned to the context given, this is wise since it is usualy used to check if the current user invoking the call has the rights in a form, workflow or similiar...
Adding the "accountId" string as a second argument would invoke this form of the getRoles
getRoles
public static java.util.List getRoles(LighthouseContext s, java.lang.String current) throws WavesetException
This variant allows a specific name to be included in the returned list. Used to ensure that the current value of a role may continue to be assigned even though the current admin may not have access to that role.
I believe you should get the users view and get your info from there...
if you try using the debug page and getObject User and the accountId, you will see the user in its full glory...
there you can see what you might want to do I hope

How to add user e-mail to a custom report?

Hello,
I am not a sql DBA, but trying to find out exact line that I should add to the query for any custom report, to show user e-mail address field as well.
For example, I use this query for all machines running unwanted software (found this query on google) :
Select
SD.Name0,
sys1.User_Name0,
SF.FileName
From v_r_system sys1
join v_gs_softwarefile sf on sf.resourceid=sys1.resourceid
left join v_R_User usr on usr.User_Name0=sys1.User_Name0
left Join v_R_System SD on SD.ResourceId = SF.ResourceId
Where SF.FileName Like '%Azureus%'
Or SF.FileName Like '%ABC%'
Or SF.FileName Like '%BitComet%'
Order By SD.Name0, SF.FileName, sys1.User_Name0
I do have user discovery enabled with mail attribute, and can see e-mail address getting collected for all the users.
Thanks in Advance

In case it's SQL/SSRS, which I assumed based on the initial query, then your query should look like this:
Select
SD.Name0,
sys1.User_Name0,
usr.Mail0,
SF.FileName
From v_r_system sys1
join v_gs_softwarefile sf on sf.resourceid=sys1.resourceid
left join v_R_User usr on usr.User_Name0=sys1.User_Name0
left Join v_R_System SD on SD.ResourceId = SF.ResourceId
Where SF.FileName Like '%Azureus%'
Or SF.FileName Like '%ABC%'
Or SF.FileName Like '%BitComet%'
Order By SD.Name0, SF.FileName, sys1.User_Name0
