Using Queries in Crystal Reports

Hi all,
I know that creating a report in Crystal Reports is essentially creating a query, but I wanted to know if anyone knew of any ways to develop queries using the Query Generator in B1 and then use that query for a report in Crystal, possibly referencing or copying it?
Also, if anyone is familiar with union queries or sub queries, could you explain their more common uses?
Thanks for the help,
Todd

Hi Todd Linscott,
We have using this type of query in SAP in Query Generator
SELECT T0.[DocNum] as 'Invoice No.', T0.[DOCDATE] as 'Invoice Date', T0.[CardName] as 'Customer Name' ,
FROM OINV WHERE T0.[DOCDATE] >=[%0] AND T0.[DOCDATE]<=[%1]
For Crystal Report
SELECT T0.[DocNum] as 'Invoice No.', T0.[DOCDATE] as 'Invoice Date', T0.[CardName] as 'Customer Name' ,
FROM OINV WHERE T0.[DOCDATE >= {?FromDate} AND T0.[DOCDATE ]< = {?ToDate}
Pass Parameter in Crystal Report in thats type of syntax
When you have to add command Right side Parameter button will appear
For Layout pass
{?@Dockey}
This is must.
Thanks,

How to convert Crystal 8.5 Reports that use queries to Crystal XI reports

We were using the following:
Crystal Reports version 8.5
Crystal SQL Designer 8.0.0.0
CRW32 8.0.0.8
We have now migrated to Crystal XI.
Most of our reports use queries created in the Crystal SQL Designer.
This is the message we receive when I open a report in Crystal XI that uses a query:
Reports based on Crystal Dictionary or Crystal Query are no longer supported. Please change these reports to use Business Views.
How do I convert a Crystal report that uses a query to use a Business View?
Thanks,
Mac Bradley

Hi Mac,
There is a Database Migration Wizard that was available but the link is broken now. I'm tracking down where we can get it from. Check your CD, it may be on the disk.
Currently it's only shipped with our Enterprise Product because it converts Queries to Business Views and Views to Command Objects.
If you have Enterprise Available you should have a link off the Start Menu.
Back up your reports first....
Thank you

Extracting SQL Queries from Crystal Reports

I am trying to find a way or a utility to be able extract SQL queries from Crystal reports into a text file for documentation purposes. These queries are not in the repository, they were entered into each of the reports when the reports were being built and I can't find a way to extract them. Any ideas/suggestions?

Hello,
CR doesn't have the ability, and I don't recall if this has ever been asked previously. Great suggestion for the Idea Place tab in the up right corner of this page.
If you find a developer it's quite simple to get:
            // log onto the server and then get the SQL.
            rptClientDoc.DatabaseController.LogonEx("van-w-13-dwilli", "xtreme", "sa", "pw");
            GroupPath gp = new GroupPath();
            string tmp = String.Empty;
            rptClientDoc.RowsetController.GetSQLStatement(gp, out tmp);
            // show the SQL but easy enough to save the SQL text to a file.
            MessageBox.Show(tmp, "Data Source Set and SQL Statement", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
Of course you need to open the report first, lots of samples on how to...
Thank you

Using 2 Universe Queries in Crystal Reports

Hi,
I am trying to use Universe queries in a Crystal report.
I want to use 2 Universe queries and then link the common dimensions between them using the Database Expert, is these similar to merge dimensions in Web Intelligence?. Is it possible? Or how can I do to merge objects that came from 2 Universe queries?
My problem is when I tried to execute the report, Crystal Reports get stuck.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Diana

Chart from data with two bex queries in crystal reports 4.0 for enterprise

Hi,
I'm fairly new to crystal reports and I have a requirement to show the data from 2 bex queries in one single cross table. is it possible ?
after getting it i should be able to create chart with that data
Eg: my table would be something like below :
               calendar day
Input     : 12      34     50     60
Output : 09     23     19     57
Input Data will be coming from one bex query
Out put data comes from another bex query
is it possible to merge the dimensions and then work on ????
any help is much appreciated

Hi Tanveer,
The only way you can add two BEx queries in a report is using a Subreport. The First BEx query goes in the Main Report and the second one goes in the Subreport.
You'll not be able to add the dimensions and measures from these two BEx queries in a Crosstab anyway. Perhaps, you could create a mock crosstab and send values (all rows) from the Main Report to the Subreport as a string however, I can see that it's going to get complex.

How to create a stored procedure and use it in Crystal reports

Hi All,
Can anyone explain me how to create a stored procedure and use that stored procedure in Crystal reports. As I have few doubts in this process, It would be great if you can explain me with a small stored proc example.
Thanks in advance.

If you are using MSSQL SERVER then try creating a stored procedure like this
create proc Name
select * from Table
by executing this in sql query analyzer will create a stored procedure that returns all the data from Table
here is the syntax to create SP
Syntax
CREATE PROC [ EDURE ] procedure_name [ ; number ]
    [ { @parameter data_type }
        [ VARYING ] [ = default ] [ OUTPUT ]
    ] [ ,...n ]
[ WITH
    { RECOMPILE | ENCRYPTION | RECOMPILE , ENCRYPTION } ]
[ FOR REPLICATION ]
AS sql_statement [ ...n ]
Now Create new report and create new connection to your database and select stored procedure and add it to the report that shows all the columns and you can place the required fields in the report and refresh the report.

Raghavendra

Hello,
There is a document explainining how to use Oracle stored proc with Crystal reports.
Check at:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/1084c536-711e-2b10-e48a-924a60745253
It is for older version but it should work and you can refer to it to get general idea how to start with it. It has a sample oracle stored proc and how to connect it from Crystal Reports.

Using CSS in crystal reports

Hi All,
We have used external CSS files to apply styles to the report content. But after the CSS implementation we have come across issues with Zoom and export.Following are the issues for which we need a solution.
1. When the content is zoomed in /out, the size of the text does not change along with the lines and borders and hence the data is seen to be overlapping (incase the zoom is 25% )
2. The alignment given through the CSS files do not reflect after exporting the content to pdf/excel etc. (eg: The decimal fields and given alignment as "right" but in the exported documents it appears as "left")
Is this a known behavior in Crystal report or are we missing something?
Thanks in advance..

Using CSS in Crystal Report

Hi,
I wanted to know if and how do we use CSS for formating the fields in Crystal Report. I did see a "CCS" class name option in the "Format Filed" selection, not sure how it works.
Also, wanted to know how do we UPLOAD the CSS to the CMC.
Thank you.

Hi Chito,
You cannot load multiple images dynamically. Using the 'graphic location' formula for the OLE Object, you can only point to a location that can load one image.
For the second image, you'll need to manually insert another OLE Object and point the formula to the next image's location.
You can try posting to the SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio space to find out whether this can be done using CR SDK.

Use another edition Crystal Report for VS2008

I only use Crystal Report in VS2008 before.
Our company has CR 11 enterprise edition.
What benefit can get if I use CR 11?
Do I need to install something in order to use CR 11 in VS2008?

CR11 is not supported or tested with VS 2008.
If you want to use VS 2008 you will need to use Crystal Reports 2008.

Load Multiple Images using link in Crystal Report

Hi Guys,
I am currently in need of developing a new requirement for our company's client. We have to load multiple images using just link in Crystal Report. Let's say that the images are stored in a folder (e.g., C:\Datafolder\Images\) and i have to fetch two images to show in crystal report (say, C:\Datafolder\Images\imageval1 and C:\Datafolder\Images\imageval2). These are actually dynamically created and therefore the number of images are not known and so i have to iterate through the list of image links.
Is it possible using merely crystal report and how?. Please take note that we're also using C# in developing our software applications.
Thanks and best regards.

Hyperlink using formula in Crystal Reports 8.5

Is there a way to create hyperlink formula to link to nth page in the report (in the exported pdf file)
for example:
i want to created a link to a text and when clicked on the link it should take me to page 8 in the same report.
Thanks
-Vivek

Hi Navin
Thank you so much for your response.
Is it particular to any one single report or all the reports which contain hyperlink.
basically it's just one report that should have filer names and pages numbers in the first page followed by the detailed report of all filers
Also let us know to what type you are linking to, Is it any email address else a website or a file type.
The table of contents is loaded from a sub report which is connected to a temporarty table with filer names and page numbers.
it's a database field
