Using Keyboard keys in Fields setting in Crystal Report Design ?

Hi Experts
I want to know that how can I change text object or a field size or position by keyboard. sometimes it works and sometimes not. What is the setting for using keyboard.
Thanks
Regards
Gorge

Keyboard keys will only work under certain modes in CR. You have to check the mode constantly to see in which ways they work. There are too many conditions may cause them not work. That list could be too long to find them all. You would have a good grasp on the rule after you familiar with them.
Thanks,
Gordon

Use dotx template as Crystal Report design template

Hi,
i have dotx (ms word with header and footer) files. how can i use it as template file for the crystal report design ?
anyway i can do this ? or any way i can use the dotx template files as background in my crystal report ?
i google alot but look like no way to link the dotx (ms word) to crystal report..

hi Jiann Neow,
you can't use a dotx as a template in any automated way to create report files.
you can add them as a background though by going to Insert > OLE Object and adding them via OLE. please note though this is only good for 1 page objects.

How to use the distinct key in formula field in SAP Crystal Reports

I want to use the distinct key in formula field in SAP Crystal reports.
When i'm using it shows an error.
Please suggest me....

Hi,
Use DistinctCount keyword directly for your calculation instead of count(distinct(....
Alternatively, if you want to avoid duplicate records, under "File" > "Report Options" make the 'Select Distinct Records' as True.

Invalid Key code Error while installing crystal report server 11

While installing crystal report server 11,i am facing an erro which says Invalid Key code Error.I had raised this issue to SAP customer support and attaching the conversation that we had.PLEASE HELP me to resolve the issue.
MAILS--Dear Mohit,
Thanks for the patience.
We have received the below update from the Licensing Team.
You received your permanent key in respect of these licenses - the key is for Crystal Reports Server XI.
You did not purchase these licenses for Crystal Reports Server, but purchased it for Crystal Reports and a 5-named user license for Crystal Reports was included as a special offer. The software included was version XIR2, but you elected to use version XI instead and received key .
You would need to enroll the licenses in maintenance if you want to upgrade them.
In case of any queries please create a ticket via the Service Market Place.

Please check from where you got this key code. If from a paper, please scan it to us. Please let them track to the original paper or email.
If you have registered the key code, please provide us the registration number or registration email address so that we will try to check for you.
If you did not register before, as the promotion is over so the key code could not be replaced.
I request you to kindly check the same at your end and revert with the details.
Moreover, there are two ways for Crystal Report customer to get support.
One is customer with bundled product such like BOE and under maintenance. These customers will have an S-user ID and password to log a case in service market place via http://service.sap.com/message

Hi,
I am raising this concern on behalf on Taxmantra project (Tata Consultancy Services noida).
We have bought licensed Crystal Reports Server 11 near by 2006.We are trying to install the crystal server but while installing ,we have encountered with an error message that:-
"The product key code you have entered is incorrect"
We are facing the same issue in 2006,I am attaching with this email the conversations that was held in 2006 to get the correct key code.
Please help us to resolve the issue as early as possible.
My contact number:
If you need any further information do let me know

Ajit,
By design, the product is not able to be installed under the superuser account.
1. Create a new user and specify a home directory for the user without a quota set.
2. Copy or move the installation files to a directory that the new user can read. I suggest you move the installation files directly into the new user's home directory.
3. Logon as the new user (or su - newuser)
4. run the installation shell script using that new user's account.
NOTE: Ensure the system meets the requirements from the supported platforms documents.

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Chanaka

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1. New Report
2. From Create New Connection-> XML
3. Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4. Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.
Date

Characteristic details belonging to Order line 5
How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.

Error in setting datasource - Crystal reports

What version fo CR you are using, what service pack?
What CR components are installed on the client machine for deployment?
When using datasets to pass the data to Crystal reports, the issue occurs due to datasets in 50% of cases.
What exact error do you get?
Could you try below steps which would tell you if its an issue with Crystal or with getting data into datasets.
- Once the data is populated in the dataset and before doing a "objRpt.SetDataSource(datas.Tables(0))", write the data to a datagrid.
- While deploying the EXE, you could observe the datagrid to check fi the datasets do return some data.
This may not be a Crystal issue.
if you get the data in the datagrid and not in the report then do a 'ds.writeXml("XMLfilepath.xml")'. this will generate the XML file with the data from the dataset. the open the report indeaigner and try to assign the XMl to the report and see if the report works in thed esigner.

How to publish crystal report designed using SAP Add-on toolbar

we have installed the crystal report designer V10 and the SAP add-on on the desktop.
we have designed a formatted report in crystal report designer using an existing BW report that was created using Bex query designer. After this we saved the crystal report back in BW to a role.
We have not published the report to crystal enterprise server, since the connection to same is not in place.
We would like to know how to publish this report in Enterprise portal ?
Can we bypass publishing the report to crystal enterprise server and publish the report on browser or through EP ?

Hiding a data field in SAP Crystal Reports 2011

Hello,
I am new to SAP Crystal Reports 2011 (Crystal Reports).
Does any one know how to hide a Special Field in a Crystal Report?
Specifically, I am trying to hide the Special Field, 'Record Number' from displaying on my report.
I need the Special Field, 'Record Number' to know how many records was printed on my report
in order to limit the amount of records printed while I am testing this new report.
Thanks for the help!
Tony

Hi Tony,
Yes to hide specific field, follow abhilash suggestion..
1. Limit the number of records displayed on your report like that:
section expert -> particular your report section -> click on suppress -> write below formula
RecordNumber > Limited number of records count..
2. limit the number of records per page on your report follow below link:
How to limit the no of records per page in crystal reports 2008
Thanks,

Use of Grid in crystal report designer

Hello,
I have a simple question in regards to data grid in crystal report designer. Crystal report designer has a capability to show grid in both design and preview mode, can we make use of any other grid in crystal, how can I make my report look more professional like the text box alignment and placed objects based on using grids?

I am confused as to what you are asking. You can align text boxes and lines/linear boxes using the grid in the report design tool just like other report objects. You can achieve some very crisp looking report designs this way. There are also tools available when you right-click one or more objects to size and/or align those objects within the page.
Fuskie
Who notes you can also change the spacing between guidelines and grid points to provide more control over layout...

Hiding the Selected field in the Crystal reports 2011

Hi Experts,
I am new to the Crystal reports. How to hide the Selected Field in the Crystal report 2011.
Thanks,
Kavya.C

Hi Kavya,
You can right click on the field, go to Format Field -> Common Tab. Select/Check the option "Suppress". Or if you want to hide/ Suppress the entire section in a Crystal Report, for e.g. Detail section, right click on Details Section and select Section expert. You can select Hide/Supress accordinly.
That should hide the filed/Section when you run the report.

How to register/configure a Data Provider with Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m in the process of developing an ADO .Net XML Data Provider which works with Data Sets. I want to use this custom Data Provider through Crystal Report Designer 2008 so that I can access it from the u201CStandard Report Creation Wizard\Available Data Sourcesu201D section. How can I do this? I read the following in the u201Ccreating custom adddins.docu201D documentation.
u201CCrystal Reports (CR) 2008 installs a new managed dll called DotNetExternalCommandAdapter.DLL and installs it into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). CR 2008 uses this dll to search and load files with a csc prefix in CR 2008u2019s AddIns subdirectory in a similar way it looks for database drivers, export drivers and UFLs. To create an Add-In the developer needs to reference this dll and inherit two classes from it, ICommand and ICommandDLL.u201D
I have the following questions,
1) As it mentions above how can I make Crystal find my custom Data Provider when it searches for the database drivers?
2) Is there another class I can inherit from when creating my custom data provider? If so where can I find some documentation regarding this?
3) Can I register my custom data provider in to the GAC and will Crystal find it if so how can I register my custom Data Provider? Will GACUtil work for Crystal as well?
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Chanaka

Baron, thank you for providing that link.
Chanaka see if that article helps you out. It should - had I got to this thread earlier, I'd have sent that link also. Certainly DE place to start.

I totally agree with Alex.
With over 11,600 threads this forum is really "heavy".
A few more categories would reduce the efford for searching and rise the effectiveness.
This applies to a few more categories by the way.
Nevertheless I'm also happy about the quit good support in this board.

Data connection that isn't fully supported by this version of the Crystal Reports designer

Post Author: arfetgas
CA Forum: JAVA
Hi im trying to view a simple report , this report have some parameters from a MS Access database.I configure everything, The ODBCJDBC bridge, the dns System on Windows, etc... and the problem its like this, I connect the database, but the schema its empty , i cant map, the dinamic parameters of my report, with my access database.I have this errors : at same time 1. This report uses a data connection that isn't fully supported by this version of the Crystal Reports designer.
You can modify the report in the designer, but the following actions
that access this connection will fail: Browse data, verify database,
and report preview. We recommend you set the datasource location to a
JDBC or Java Result Set data source. 2.

Hi Wendy Fu,
Thanks for your feed back. I could see Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll to add as reference to my project. Actually I can open generated rdlc in designer, at run time I get error. I could not make out where is the exact mistake out of three
options flashed.
The definition of this report is not valid or supported by this version of Reporting Services.
The report definition may have been created with a later version of Reporting Services
or contain content that is not well-formed or not valid based on Reporting Services schemas
Details: Data at the root level is invalid
My web config has following references
<add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/>
<add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/>
May be I have to change these versions to 9 or 10.
First I will try adding Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll .
Once thanks for your reply.

Viewing Report created in Crystal Report Designer

Hi,I'm new to CR4E and tries to work with existing report. I saw many error while trying this, please excuse me to the long email below that I explain all the errors I saw......I have some reports that were created in Crystal Report Designer (CR XI Release 2) connecting to the Oracle Database using "Oracle Server" type connection. How can I access it from CR4E? I have the following problem (in the order I see them)1) In the Eclipse's JSP page, I specified the full path to the report, but I get a report not found error. Must the report locate within the project? Is there any way we can open a report outside of the project?2) I copied the report to the project, a) followed jrc_print_report example to print the report, get "JNDI name not found" error. b) then generate a viewer page, but I get the Driver "crdb_oracle.dll" is not supported error.3) I setup the new JNDI followed the jrc_changedatasource.jsp example to change the datasource, but I still get the "JNDI name not found" error.4) I imported the report intoEclipse and changed the connection. Then I can create a jsp page to print it to a printer (I still can't view it, but my goal is to print, so that's ok). However, a) the original report has a "Command" object from the Oracle database to control where to select the report's data, when I remap, this object disappear and I cannot see how to recreate it. Any suggestion? b) also, the report is very complex with many subreports and it will be nightmare to go in and change all of the datasource, also a maintenance nightmare to maintain two copies. Any better suggestions?Thank you very much! Your help is very appreciated.Celia

Hi Celia
1. Yes the Java Reporting Component (JRC) which is the runtime component of the Crystal Reports for Eclipse can open reports outside the project.Â Â Its often better to have the reports inside the project for deployment purposes but you are welcome to put the report where ever you need it.Â
Note: To use absolute paths, ensure that the CRConfig.xml file does not contain a reportlocation tag.
2. The JRC can't report off of Oracle directly, you would need to use a JDBC driver to connect your reports to Oracle.Â The crdb_oracle.dll will never connect because its not Java.Â
3. When the JRC finds that the report is not using a supported database driverÂ it will do a lookup to find the name of the report datasource.Â When it finds the datasource name it will then do a JNDI lookupÂ for a JDBC datasource with theÂ same name.Â If your Application server doesn't have a datasource with that name it will through the error you were seeing.Â
4. I'm not sure about losing the Command object when changing the datasource but this is probably happening because the Command is linked to the database driver.
5. What you could try doing is creating a JDBC Datasource on your application server where this app will run with a JNDI name thatÂ matches your report datasource name.Â If your reports datasource name is "MyOracleDatasource" then I believe the JNDI name for new JDBC Datasource would have to be "jdbc/MyOracleDatasource".
You could give this a try.
