Using Crystal Report to create reports from ABAP

Hello,
We are currently using Jetform as the designer for our outputs like Invoice, Order confirmation, etc.....
We would like to switch to Crystal instead, but don't really know where to start from.
- We already have crystal on our B/W instance
- The additional need for Crystal is in R/3, and would be triggered trough ABAPs.
What I am looking for. I guess, is the equivalent to when:
we call up smartforms from ABAP using the generated function modules
we call up sapscript from ABAP using the predefine function call (write_form open_form close_form, etc)
we call up Jetform using special control code along with the data, sent to a jetform configured printer
=> What kind of call would we then make to send data to Crystal Reports place holder and print them?
=> What kind basis set-up is needed to have to comunication between Crystal and SAP established?
Thank you in advance for yours hints

Hi,
You will likely be able to access the tables directly using the Opensql driver using Crystal Reports. I don't understand why you are assuming that an Infoset is necessary. Can you point me to the documentation that states that an Infoset is necessary?
In any case, if you want to create an Infoset, this is done in SQ02. You need to make sure that you belong to a user group in order for Crystal Report to see the infoset.

How do I use "Trim Paths" after "Create Shapes from Vector Layer" on a strokes only layer?

Hello,
Adobe After Effects CC
2014.0.2
Version 13.0.2.3
I have imported an illustrator file that was created in Illustrator CC 18.0.0. The file contains the outline of a logo. It is the logo with the fill set to none and the stroke set to 1px.
I drag the logo_strokes.ai file onto the composition, right click, and click Create Shapes from Vector Layer.
A new layer is created and in the Contents "drop down", a Fill 1 layer is created.
When I select the Contents "drop down" and click Add / Trim Paths, a Trim Paths 1 layer is created.
When I animate Trim Paths 1, it appears to animate the Fill layer, not the stroke.
How do I get it to animate just the stroke, and not show a fill at all?
Thank you.

Thanks,
I am reading and watching tutorials. Still stuck on that one point.
Here are the images of the After Effects layers. The illustrator layer is the top layer.

Is anybody out there using iMovie/iDvd to create Dvds from a digital camera

In a post yesterday I already described the problems I have with iLife.
But problems can be solved. My question is : Is anybody using iLife
to burn a dvd from the tape of a digi cam with titel and chapter markers
or is that not possible. No long descriptions necessary.

Yes. I'm stringing video clips from my digital camera together, with titles, to make into a chaptered DVD.
It's not going well. iDVD08 doesn't recognize the titles I put in in iMovie08. iMovie08 won't allow me to place chapter markers (that I've found--if there's a way, please correct me!), and won't allow me to export short movies any higher than Mobile resolution, even though it's made from the same clips as the 2 hour that did export at Large resolution. Are you having these problems as well? Where is your other post (I'm new to the forum)?
Thanks.

How to make Report to create dynamically from datamodel

Hi All,
I am able to make a report data, if the datamodel is create as sample data.
I tried to map the datamodel which is doesn't contain any sample data and trying to map to report so that it can generate data dynamically. It always throws
"Error: Data Model does not contain sample data. Please edit Data Model and save with sample data."
I want to create a dynamic data so when ever I make a webservice call to runReport it must pick the data from datamodel and create the report.
Thank's in advance.

Sarada,
1) After you create your data model then you next have to run it.
Click on the XML icon on the right hand side:

2) When you get to this page. Click on RUN
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/bi/bip/bip11g/gettingstarted/images/t30310.gif
3) Finally, and this is perhaps the step you are missing. Click on Save as Sample Data:

Create model from abap class

Hi, I have a problem, I want create a model from an abap class.
It is possible?, if the answer is yes, ¿how can i do it?

As Menon said, even I think that it may not be possible to create a model from an abap class. But if it is a requirement to use an abap class in webdynpro I think you can do a work around:
1. Create a RFC function module which will contain the instance variable of required abap class.
2. This RFC can be imported, and using the variable in the RFC module u can call its methods.
I haven't worked as such. But, this may be one way. I am not sure abt it.

Why is PDFMaker using faux italics when creating pdf from Word?

Hi,
I have a word 2013 document using an opentype font, namely The Sans. Some of the words using that font are in italics.
If I print (Ctrl+P) the document to Adobe PDF, the pdf looks fine, and the fonts embedded in the PDF as reported by Acrobat are The Sans and The Sans Italic.
But if I use the PDFMaker plugin, the words in italics use some kind of faux italic, where the regular letters are just slanted. The font embedded in the PDF as reported by Acrobat is only The Sans.
I got sick of trying every possible parameter in the Word plugin, any idea of what to? Printing the document top pdf and then adding all the bookmarks by hand would be excruciatingly tedious.
I could also open the PDF in acrobat and select every occurence of an italic word, then re-set it to italic, which then uses the right italic version of the font, but come on...
Best,

Basically using the printer will always embed and use the italic font, e.g. with the standard, press or high quality print settings. Even though there is a checkbox ticked by default named "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document font", the result does not seem to change if this box is ticked or not.
If I use PDFMaker, no matter what settings I use I end up with the regular font being simply slanted. I even tried setting compatibility with Acrobat 1.7 and checking "Embed Opentype fonts".

Can I use an EDL to create subclips from a master?

I've got a camera that isn't co-operating with my EDL. I CAN capture an entire tape though, as one big block. Rather than going through an entire tape-clip and subclipping one by one, is it possible to use the EDL I have to automatically create the subclips I want with all the information in the EDL?

Thanks for the quick and to the point response. Too bad. What a perfect use. Oh well, a perfect and safe implementation neglected. I wish they'd neglected to get rid of the magnetic power connector on the new MacBook too.

Calling report with no parameters from a form should report be a JSP file?

Hi,
I'm completely new to the Oracle environment and am having a few beginner problems all I want to find out is how to call a report from a form. I know this question has been asked before but I can't work it out from the answers because people seem to keep talking about rdf files:
I am trying to call the report with the following code:
Declare
     report_id REPORT_OBJECT;
     v_rep varchar2(100);
     rep_status varchar2(20);
Begin
     report_id:= FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('EmployeeRep');
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
END;
My report is called 'EmployeeRep' but it saves it as a JSP file and there is no option to save as an rdf as is mentioned in other posts. I can understand the environments confusion because there is no directory information with the find_report_object command. Does the report have to be stored in a certain directory.
All I have done with the report is created it from the emp table of the sample Scott database. Any help is appreciated and nothing is too obvious as I say I'm completely new to this.
Thanks
Dan

Try to pinpoint what is going wrong:
1. Run the report stand alone (from Reports Builder). If that doesn't work, then it won't work calling it from Forms either.
2. Check if anything has run at all, or if there are report error messages with:
http://localhost:port/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?
For a standalone Report Server use:
http://localhost:port/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?server=rep_server_name
3. If it does work, call it from Forms. Is the report output file created (e.g. in the cache directory if destype=cache)? In your code you have run_report_object, but you won't see any output on your screen. To see the output add web.show_document(...) to your report. There are many examples in this forum if you search for run_report_object.

How to create report in the following form?

Hi All,
how I am using FR studio for creating reports.
I want to create a report which will show me accounts per entity,which means I want to keep the entity in the page dimension and accounts in the row dimension.The report should be done in such way that if I am taking one entity in page dimension then it will show some accounts in the row dimension which
are specific for that entity and in the similar way if I am taking another entity in page dimension then it should show me another different set of accounts in
the row dimension for that specific entity.
How can I achieve this in my report?
Thanks

Hi,
Your requirement is to create a report which has correct combinations of Entity and Accounts.
First step will be to create this account-entity mapping list. If you are not using the BegBalance member for storing your data, you could enter 0 value in Begbalance of each valid entity - account combination. Thus you have the valid accounts for the entity, that have data in Begbalance. You would capture data against these combinations only in the Planning data forms as well.
In the report, you will hide this Begbalance column, while showing other Period columns and select "Suppress Missing Rows/blocks" in rows.
Thus the report will only show valid accounts for the entity selected while running the report.
Let me know if it helps.
Cheers

Create report template works in XE not in 11g

Working systems
Windows vista
Oracle XE
Apex 3.1.0.00.32
System that fails
Unix of some sort
Oracle 11g
Apex 3.1.0.00.32
PDF printing enabled and working
Error: ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("FLOWS_030100"."WWV_FLOW_REPORT_LAYOUTS"."FLOW_ID")
Created and xsl file using Stylus Studio on my laptop where XE resides.( Good tool btw)
Navigated to: Home>Application Builder>Application >Shared Components>Report Layouts>Create Report Layout
Layout NameL test1
Report Layout File: TestRpt.xsl
Clicked on Create and the report layout showed up in the list
I emailed the file to my work account. Followed the same steps and got the above error.
I thought maybe it was a Unix v. Dos file structure so I edited the xsl file in SQL Developer (another good tool for Apex) and saved as TestRptA.xsl. Same error occured.
I can put any file into the XE form and it uploads. I assume the 11g system does not get the file passed in the parameters...
Any ideas on this would be greatly appriated.

Setting margins for "Create PDF from Clipboard"

I'm posting this because I could not find another question that dealt with my problem directly, but after A LOT of searching, and a few failed attempts, I did find the solution.
Problem: When creating a PDF from content copied to the clipboard from a webpage, everything on the page was way off-center, with almost no left margin.
Once the PDF was created, since there is no easy way to adjust page margins, the only way to center everything would have been one page at a time (for 24 pages), by dragging the page contents manually to the center of the page. I tried using the "Set Page Boxes" function, but I ended up with 24 blank pages. Yes, I could export the PDF as a Word document, and then reprint that Word document as a PDF, but I knew there had to be a simpler way.
Solution: When you create a PDF from a clipboard containing text (or in the case of the above document, text and images), Acrobat uses the settings for "Create PDF from Web Page."
Unfortunately, if you look up Convert clipboard content to PDF in Acrobat Help, it doesn't tell you that. AND the settings for "Create PDF from Web Page" are NOT included in the list of settings under Preferences > Convert to PDF. There is an HTML option in that list, but there are no editable settings for that file type (There are actually quite a few such file types listed there, and my question is, if there are no editable settings, why are they even listed under Preferences?). Batch Conversion of Text Files also uses the same settings.
So, here's how to do it:
Select File > Create > PDF from Web Page
Click on Settings
To adjust the default margins for new PDF files created from a clipboard containing text, select the Page Layout tab, and adjust the margins to your liking. Notice how small the Default right and left margins are... hence my problem.
Click on OK to save your new settings, and the simply Cancel out of the "Create PDF from Web Page" dialog box. If you read this page, it says you have to actually create at least one PDF file using the "Create PDF from Web Page" dialog in order for your settings to stick, but I never did, and my settings were saved just fine.
If you're copying basic text (or converting text files), that's all there is to it.
With web page content, there could still be a problem (as there was with this web page), if the content you've selected is not the full width of the web page. I think this has to do with the fact that web pages often use Content Style Sheets to format their page elements, and those styles are transferred when you copy that content to the clipboard. The PDF page margins are technically correct now, as you can see by the position of the image at the top of the page, but the text portion (at the bottom of the page) of the PDF only fills the same percentage of the text area (between the margins) as it did on the web page.
The only solution I have found if this happens, is to export the PDF as a Word document, and adjust the margins there. In the document I was working with in these examples, there were boatloads of different invisible subsections to the document, and each subsection had different settings for right and left indent, fonts, font sizes, etc., so there was a lot more to it than a simple 'copy & paste' type of procedure. Once I corrected all the different elements (and this one had a whole lot of weirdness going on), and then printed it as a new PDF, everything looked much better.
Hopefully this helps someone else find their answer much easier than I found mine
And of course, comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for asking. Yes, with either the Crop tool or the Set Page Boxes tool, I could trim the page just fine, removing the excess from the right side, but as soon as I tried to add space to the left side, it just blanked out the whole page. It seemed like it should have worked, and maybe on a simple text file it would have. But that particular array of content proved to be most troublesome.
I also could have just cropped the page down to 6.5 x 11, and then centered it when I printed it.
My primary goal in searching for the answer, and my main reason for posting this, was for setting the margins for future documents (and to help others find those settings,too). Since I still had the web address, I could easily recreate the PDF once I figured out how to set the margins. Of course I didn't realize that there would still be problems once I got the settings right. Like I said, that particular web page seemed to have several unique difficulties.

Create Idoc from transaction

Hi,
I want to create a Idoc from a transaction.
For example, if i will execute transaction "MM02" to change the material detail then i want to create a idoc for that changed material,
Does anyone have idea regarding this?
{{Actually remaining configuration i have done to sent a idoc from one system to other system but right now i am generating idoc manually using transaction "BD10" in which i am selecting the material manually.
Now i want the whole procedure to be done automatically so that whenever a change in material will be done, a idoc will be generated.}}

Actually i have already set "Trigger idoc immediately" in WE20. I am using Transactional RFC instead of file in we21.
Configuration for WE21 is for port defination i am using transactional RFC which is defined in SM59.
In WE20 i am creating Logical system in which i am using message type MATMAS in outbound for which i am using transactional RFC in receiver port.Output mode i am choosing "TransferIdoc immediately". and Idoc type is "MATMAS02".
In BD50 i am assigning change pointer to "MATMAS".
Also i have created distribution model but i am not able to distribute which i have already told u.
At the receiver side i am creating another logical system in WE20 in which i am defining message type "MATMAS" as inbound parameter.Process Code is "MATM". and i am choosing "Trigger immediately" in processing option.
So this is the configuration i have done and i m able to send idoc successfully but still i cant make it automatically. I have to use transaction bd21 to create idoc from change pointer. This is the only problem i am getting.
So anything else is required to be done????????
