Using the same data field on a report

Post Author: Lukey1972
CA Forum: General
Hi can anyone help me please? New to crystal reports and I have added the same Data field on a report being and I need to filter these one for Credits and the other for Debits. When I use Select Expert it effects both columns. I know that there is a logical way of doing this but being new have yet to be able to find it. Please help.

Hi there,
you can put a block filter on the data saying ex facturation is equal to c or to d leaving you only with credit or debit amounts.
Are you using webi?

Did being able to use the same data in multiple apps get added?

In the new iOS 4.2, did Apple include the ability to use the same data, eg PDF files in multiple apps? I have several hundred PDF files that I want to use in three different apps.
Or is it still the same, that you have to load up (and use valuable space) the same data again and again for EACH individual app?
Thanks

I don't know but think it would mean the PDFs must be stored somewhere on the device itself (like on a computer). Then also the apps must be designed to use the files from there. So a change in the iOS wouldn't be all that's needed.

Problem importing two service interfaces using the same data types

Hi,
I've been playing around with BPM for a while. Now I wanted to add a custom service interface to my starting event. I created the interface in ESR of CE 7.11. After importing I get this error message and I can't use the interface:
Cannot change XsdSimpleTypeDefinition AcademicTitleCodeContent by importing the document http://sap.com/xi/APPL/SE/Global::src/wsdl/TestInterface.wsdl, because it is already defined in the document http://sap.com/xi/APPL/SE/Global::src/wsdl/rootwsdl_CustomerERPByIDQueryResponse_InService.wsdl in this project. Importing into another project might be possible.
Of course the problem is clear, but how can I achieve importing two service interfaces that use the same data type without changing the xsd source?
Thanks in advance,
Mane

Sorry for the late answer, but I am really busy at the moment.
Unfortunately I can't the Interface and data types are already changed.
But this happened various times. Each time I already had imported a SAP Enterprise Service into NW BPM that contains a bunch of inline data types. While creating my own interface I referenced one of those data types that are stored in a SAP namespace. After import the error message appeared.
In the wsdl of the created interface there is a import statement for the namespace where the referenced data types origin from. Additionally there is a namespace definition xmlns:p1="SAPnamespace". In the element the type is "p1:ReferencedType". Could this maybe cause the error, because one time it is with this leading p1 in my created wsdl and once without in the SAP Service wsdl?
Thanks and I am looking forward to next EhP of NW BPM,
Mane

Load multiple files using the same data load location

has anybody tried loading multiple files using the same load locations. I need to do this as the data in these multiple files will need to be exported from FDM as a single export file. the problem i am facing is more user related. since these files will be received at different points of time, users will need a way to tell them what has been loaded and what is yet to be loaded.
is it possible to throw a window on the web broser with OK and Cancel buttons from an event script?
any pointers to possible solutions will be helpful

was able to resolve this. the implementation method is as follows
take a back up of previously imported data in the befcleardata event script. then in the beffileimport event append the data to the import file. there are many other intricacies but this is the broad implementation logic. it allowed my users to load multiple files without worrying about append or replace import type choices

How can I use the same data source twice?

in our system there is already a complete transfer of calculations to BI (0CO_PC_PCP_01).
However I want to create a new data flow from ERP starting from the same data source.
Is this possible?
Thanks for help!!

Hi!
welcome to SDN forums.
anydata source can be mapped only to a single infosource. but it will not ristrict you to have different datatargets from a single infosource. so you have to use filters in infopackages to select the data target and filter the data for this data sources. Only thing you have to do with old dataflow is just ristrict the data relavent for the 1st Datatarget in old Infopackage and re.initialize.

CR XI uses the wrong data field after save/close-open

I have a quite complex CR XI report (35 sections). It has 2 embedded sub-reports, connects via ODBC to Sybase, and uses a long and complex SQL statement as a Database Command. After a fairly small number of edits and saves (I guess between 10 and 20), I can no longer save it correctly. For example, if I add a particular text field from the command to be displayed. Run the report in the designer then all is well. But if I save the report and re-open it then the data field that I added has been replaced by another, totally different field. This process is repeatable!
I tried removing some unneeded fields from the Command SQL and that causes a DIFFERENT field to replace the one I select.
If I re-create the entire report from scratch (copy and paste from the u201Cbadu201D one) then the problem goes away for a few edits and saves; but then returns.
This is getting very frustrating, because it takes me the best part of a day to copy the report to a new one, including copying all of the formatting and formulae, and ensuring that every field and every section has the correct properties (suppress, new page etc) applied to it. In order to minimise the risk of it becoming corrupt I u201Csaveu201D infrequently, which can add to the frustration when things go wrong!
Has anyone got ANY ideas?
What can I do to prevent the corruptions?
Is there a better way to clone the report?
Does anyone know if CR 2008 would be any better?

Don,
Thanks again for your help. I think that you are misunderstanding the problem a bit. When I have the report open in the designer I can put the correct field on the designer surface (eg by dragging a field called u201CCustomerNameu201D from the Command in the u201CField Exploreru201D to an appropriate location). The report then functions perfectly when I refresh (F5) and view it in the u201CPreviewu201D tab, and I see the appropriate names. However If I close the designer and then re-open it, a DIFFERENT field, u201CCustomerBalanceu201D, is displayed both in the design view and the preview tab, and of course I see the numeric data for that incorrect field in the preview, where I expect to see a name. The same (incorrect) data is shown when the report is run and displayed via the web browser interface (not within the CR designer).
I have run and edited the same report on different PCs with the latest CR XI installed and on my PC with many different loads (eg just after re-boot and later in the day with many applications running) all with identical results, so I am confident that it is not resource related.
Similarly I donu2019t think it can be ODBC related, because it appears to occur when the report is saved, closed or opened. I am not saving data with the report. I have now tried using the DataDirect driver, but it will not connect to the Sybase ASA database on a remote server, because it complains that procedure sp_server_info is not found. This is only supported by Sybase ASE (not ASA).
There are a lot of conditional fields and sections and page breaks within the report, these are suppressed with an appropriate formula, but the underlying SQL is just passed one parameter and this is used to select an appropriate single data set (there is no hierarchical grouping or drill-down in this report). The error is there consistently whatever parameter value is used (i.e. it always displays a value in place of a name in the example above).
I have still not tried your stored procedure idea, partly because that will require another day to re-write the report. I might combine that with Jasonu2019s idea and make all display all data via formulae as a first step and then replace the underlying data with a stored procedure.
I have discovered a temporary work-around though. I have added more sub-reports (all take the same parameter value) and replaced whole sections with those sub reports, so I was able to remove quite a few data fields from the main SQL query, because these are now queried separately in the sub-reports. Itu2019s all working at the moment!

How to handle Multiple date formats for the same date field in SQL*Loader

Dear All,
I got a requirement where I need to get data from a text file and insert the same into oracle table.
I am using SQL*Loader to populate the data from the text file into my table.
The file has one field where I am expecting date date data in multiple formats, like dd/mon/yyyy, yyyy/dd/mon, yyyy/mon/dd, ,mm/dd/yyyy, mon/dd/yyyy.
While using SQL*Loader, I can see Loading is failing for records where we have formats like yyyy/dd/mon, yyyy/mon/dd, mon/dd/yyyy.
Is there any way in SQL*Loader where we can mention all these date formats so that this date data should go smoothly into the underlying date column in the table.
Appreciate your response on this.
Thanks,
Madhu K.

The point being made was, are you sure that you can uniquely identify a date format from the value you receieve? Are you sure that the data stored is only of a particular limited set of formats?
e.g. if you had a value of '07/08/03' how do you know what format that is?
It could be...
7th August 2003 (thus assuming it's DD/MM/RR format)
or
8th July 2003 (thus assuming it's MM/DD/RR format)
or
3rd August 2007 (thus assuming it's RR/MM/DD format)
or
8th March 2007 (thus assuming it's RR/DD/MM format)
or even more obscurely...
3rd July 2008 (MM/RR/DD)
or
7th March 2008 (DD/RR/MM)
Do you have any information to tell you what formats are valid that would allow you to be specific and know what date format is meant?
This is a classic example of why dates should be stored on the database using DATE datatype and not VARCHAR2. It can lead to corruption of data, especially if the date can be entered in any format a user wishes.

BAM Combo Chart showing data in 2 graphics for the same data object

Hi all,
I’m trying to show 2 views of the same data object in a Combo Chart (e.g. orders created today as a bar chart and orders created yesterday as line chart grouping by hour of day). It was pretty easy adding the same data object twice but the data type of the horizontal axis seems to be lost and it gets sorted as a simple string, leading to strange grouping of the hours with 05:00 representing 5 AM sided with 05:00 representing 5 PM. Also, I’m not able to format such fields using the format values tab.
Is using the same data object two times in the same report an unsupported scenario?
Thanks,
Daniel

why you want to add the same data object twice? Your use case can be achieved with single data object only.
1) Create combo chart and select the data object.
2) On "Choose data fields" page group by datetime field.
3) You will see UI changed to 3 sections - left one with "Group by" section, middle with "Chart values" and right one with "Time Groups".
4) In the right "Time Group" section, uncheck checkbox for continuous time series. Time Unit as hour, quantity as 1.
5) In middle "Chart values" section ,select the fields that you want to display as chart values and respective chart types , in your case orders created today as a bar chart and orders created yesterday as line chart.
5) Click Next and Finish.
6) Then you can go to Value format tab, and change the format for the datetime field as timeunit and required format.

Can i use the same datasource which is already been used for another appln?

Hi All,
There is a datasource from r/3 copa which is already been used in another application. Is it possible for me to use the same data source to my Appln?
If so then pls guide me on that?
Thanks
pooja

Yes you can use it..
It depends actually on your requirement..
If you are already pulling that data into a DSO, then directly use that DSO in your applicaiton by doing a look up or by getting data from it...This will avoid duplication of data...
But if your requirement is not suffice with the DSO you already have then create your own custom and pull the data from the same datasource into it...

Can we use the test data dictionery saved for a FM for any other FM

Hi experts,
i want to use the test data dictionary which i have maintained for a FM. now i want to use the same data for another FM.
Can i use that saved dictionary. if yes then how.
Points are sure.....
Thanks
Ashish

Amit,
Yes i can, but this fm is calling from some another applications (front end) and that is a big scenario. and that will be really vary time consuming so i want to do in this way.
If this is not possible then the last way i have to opt is to do excercise again .
Thanks

Restricting date selection of the calender date field

Right now we have a web app where you choose the starting date of a work week. We're using the calender date field to get that date. However, our client wants to restrict that to just the Mondays of the month. Is it possible to do this?

Hi Nagy,
The way I would approach this is by implementing that kind of calendar picker myself, from some jQuery plugin or maybe a couple of simple dropdowns, and then use javascript to populate the current date field which would be hidden. You just have to make sure that the date format looks like this:
03-Oct-2012

Two commands in the report using the same parameter - fail under Java

I have a report that contains 2 SQL commands.
Both of these commands use one parameter X of type Number in their 'WHERE' clause.
When i'm viewing the report in CR 2008, i'm asked for a value of this parameter and all data is filled in the report - OK
The problem occurs when the same report is printed through Crystal Java Runtime:
Report is printed without data! - it's empty.
What we noticed in the debug information thrown by the Crystal libraries is that parameter value is set only in one of these commands:
Original statement 1:
select a.something
from ANM_T a
where a.anmid = {?PARAMETER01Id}
Original statement 2:
SELECT * from ANM_T a
WHERE a.anmid={?PARAMETER01Id}
OUTCOME of Statement 1:
select a.something
from ANM_T a
where a.anmid = 0
OUTCOME of Statement 2:
SELECT * from ANM_T a
WHERE a.anmid=9825
In above example we may see that crystal set the value only in the second statement - first one got 0 - i suspect its some default value.
Parameter in the Java code is set in the right way. In case of using only one statement it works. If we use two separate parameters (whose values are equal ) it also works.
// we have also the loop over the parameters
ParameterFieldController paramFieldController =
                report.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
paramFieldController.setCurrentValue( "", paramName, paramValue );
What is strange for me is that Crystal Reports enables to use the same parameter in two commands but if you edit one of them you may change the type of this parameter for a command ( for example from Number to String) but the parameter type in the second command remains unchanged ( it's strange because in my opinion it is the same parameter). In the Field Explorer under the Parameter Fields i still see one parameter of type used in the second command.

Hello all,
We have prepared some sample code to illustrate the issue.
We have modified the sample application (Link: [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/c07fec3e-3e11-2c10-1991-8c0fb0b82b75]) to that it also changes the parameter value. Parameter is used in two commands saved in report.
The code changing the parameters value looks like this:
private static void changeParameters(ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc) throws ReportSDKException {
          DataDefController dataDefController = reportClientDoc.getDataDefController();
        Fields fields = dataDefController.getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
        for( int i = 0; i < fields.size(); i++ ){
            Field field = (Field)fields.getField( i );
            if( field.getKind() == FieldKind.parameterField ){
                        setParameter( ((ParameterField)field).getName(), "9825" , reportClientDoc);
private static void setParameter( String paramName, String paramValue, ReportClientDocument document ) throws ReportSDKException {
     ParameterFieldController paramFieldController =
                document.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
     paramFieldController.setCurrentValue( "", paramName, paramValue );
We have tried the following codes to change the connection info used in commands:
Attempt 1
          Tables tables = databaseController.getDatabase().getTables();
          //Set the datasource for all main report tables.
          for (int i = 0; i < tables.size(); i++) {
               ITable table = tables.getTable(i);
               //Keep existing name and alias.
               table.setName(table.getName());
               table.setAlias(table.getAlias());
               //Change connection information properties.
               IConnectionInfo connectionInfo = table.getConnectionInfo();
               //Set new table connection property attributes.
               connectionInfo.setAttributes(propertyBag);
               //Set database username and password.
               //NOTE: Even if these the username and password properties don't change when switching databases, the
               //database password is *not* saved in the report and must be set at runtime if the database is secured.
               connectionInfo.setUserName(DBUSERNAME);
               connectionInfo.setPassword(DBPASSWORD);
               connectionInfo.setKind(ConnectionInfoKind.SQL);
               table.setConnectionInfo(connectionInfo);
               //Update old table in the report with the new table.
               databaseController.setTableLocation(table, tables.getTable(i));
               //databaseController.setTableLocation(tables.getTable(i), table);
Attempt 2
         newConnectionInfo.setAttributes(propertyBag);
         connectionInfo.setUserName(DBUSERNAME);
         connectionInfo.setPassword(DBPASSWORD);
         //preserve subreport links
         SubreportController src = doc.getSubreportController();
         Map<String, SubreportLinks> linkMapper = new HashMap<String,SubreportLinks>();
         for(String subreportName : src.getSubreportNames()){
             linkMapper.put(subreportName,
                 (SubreportLinks) src.getSubreportLinks(subreportName).clone(true));
         //If this connection needed parameters, we would use this field.
         Fields<IParameterField> pFields = doc.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
         replaceConnectionInfos(doc.getDatabaseController(), newConnectionInfo, pFields);
         IStrings strs = src.getSubreportNames();
         Iterator<String> it = strs.iterator();
         while (it.hasNext()) {
           String name = it.next();
           ISubreportClientDocument subreport = src.getSubreport(name);
           pFields = subreport.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
           replaceConnectionInfos(subreport.getDatabaseController(), newConnectionInfo, pFields);
         //reconnect subreport links since when using replaceConnection links are erased
         for(String subreportName : src.getSubreportNames())
           src.setSubreportLinks(subreportName, linkMapper.get(subreportName));
private static void replaceConnectionInfos(DatabaseController aDc, IConnectionInfo aNewConnInfo, Fields<IParameterField> aParameterField) throws ReportSDKException {
         ConnectionInfos cis = aDc.getConnectionInfos(null);
         for (IConnectionInfo oldConnInfo : cis)
           aDc.replaceConnection(oldConnInfo, aNewConnInfo, aParameterField, DBOptions._useDefault
               + DBOptions._doNotVerifyDB);
In both cases, the observed problem occurred. In one query the parameter was set properly, while on the other it was set to 0 (or empty string in case of string parameters). What is more, no data appeared on the print.
Do you happen to know the reason of this issue?How can we fix the problem?
Best regards

Creating multiple tab reports using the same query in Web intelligence

Hi All,
I have created a Universe on a BW Query which has fields as below
AGE Depaatment Gender Grade
25       FIN                M            A
27       LES               F            A+
60       SWS            M             A++
Based on this data i have created a WEbi report which shows all of these data under one tab.
Now i create a new report tab in the same Webi Document by right cliicking the existing report and going to inset report and saving it.
Similarly i create two more new report tabs.
in each of these tabs i want to show data only for the concened departments.ie =1st report contains all the departments.
2nd report contains only finance data, third contains only Les data and fourth only SWs Data.
Is it possible to create this report using the same query?
Regards,
Raj.

You should use report filters, not query filters.
A query filter will affect the entire document. Every report tab that pulls data from that query will be impacted. If you start with a single report, by default it shows the data from the query. If you duplicate that report tab, then it's still attached to the first query. There are various ways to create report filters (input controls, quick filter, invoking the filter area from the toolbar) and a report filter impacts only blocks on that report tab. You can even create block filters by clicking on the block first, then creating your filter.
This is a fairly confusing bit for folks that are new to Web Intelligence.

Import xml data in Access when multiple rows use the same fieldname

HI.
First of all sorry for my english :-) I have a LiveCycle Designer ES form with multiple rows that I send via e-mail as XML data.
example:
Row 1
Firstname: John Lastname: Dow
Row 2
Firstname: Steve Lastname: Austin
The exported XML is OK but when I want to import it into my Access database, only one row is imported. I pretty sure that the problem comes from the fact that may exported XML use the same fieldname (what is important if I want to import data in the correct Access field) but I don't know what to do to be able to import all the rows of the same Form.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot
Frederic

Hi Viktor,
In case of order recognition rules you should increase the relevancy in the newer version of the cartridge so appropriate ORR will be triggered. In other xqueries, you can try using new namespace as a model variable for each and every version of the cartridge

Can you be more precise , please :
- which table stores the people identities ? (I call this one Identity)
- which table gives the class where the student works in (I cal l this one Claa_attendees)
- which table gives the instructor of a class (I call this one Class)
If your issue is that you have one table which stores Itendities , and you need to display Student identity and Instructor Identity, you have to call this table twice in your query , using table aliases . I mean :
Select Stud_iden.name, Instr_iden.name
From Identity Stud_iden, Identity Instr_iden, Class_attendees, Class
Where Class.clas_id = class_attendees.class_id
and class.instructor_id = Instr_iden.people_id
and class_attendees.student_id = Stud_iden.people_id
Is this what you need to do ?
