Using WebUtil on the report

can the same webUtil be used for the report?
What i'm trying to do is that I have a link within the report as a hyperlink, when
user clicks on that, it opens a file(stored on the client's terminal) from client's machine.
Thanks

U can use Text_io package in Reports 9i which reads & writes on Application server .I have never used webutil in reports but guess it can be used in Reports as well.

Query Stripping not working properly when using variable in the report

We have issue with WEBI document that have query stripping enable.
Once the query stripping enabled there is no data return in the report.
We have investigate on the problem, the query stripping function are notable to retrieve objects that indirectly used in the report
as we have
many variable in the reports.
Ex.
Var1 = object1 + object2
Var2 = Object3 + Object4
Var3 = Var1 + Var2
Var4 = Object1 + Object2 + Object3 + Object4
If we use only Var3 in the report, the object1,2,3,and 4 will not be
retrieve.
But if we are using Var4 in the report, the object1,2,3,and 4 will be
retrieve properly.
Please let me know is it a by-design behavior, if yes please share points on it

Hi Amit,
Thank you for response, however i already had alook on that VIdeo and it tells us about the basic enabling of query stripping.
But my question is when we have a Variable in a report which is dependent on the other two variables it gives me #error so is it by design or not.

Call a Form using Webutil from the Menu loose focus on the applet

Hello,
I have the following problem:
When calling a form using webutil from the menu the focus on the applet (I mean the Forms Application window) is lost and I have to click on the window to get back the focus on the application.
Any advice ?
Env: Forms 9i / Webutil 1.06
Rgds,
Philippe

Try to use the NO_HIDE parameter in the CALL_FORM() built-in.
Call_Form( 'the_form', NO_HIDE ) ;Or maybe, in the[b] When-New-Form-Instance trigger of the called form, return the focus to the calling form
Go_Form( Get_Application_Property( CALLING_FORM ) ) ;Francois

How to find a cloumn or table used in all the reports

Hi ,
Suppose I have like 15 to 20 reports and i want search a particular column or table where it has been used in all the reports.Is there any easy way ?
Thanks,

Well "used in reports" can mean different things. Column used for display or columns used for filtering for example.
For a filter column you could literally search for
MyTable."Sales Rep"Whereas for a display column you'd need to search for
MyTable.&quot ;Sales Rep&quot ; (without the blank space after quot
That's simply due to how stuff gets stored in the webcat:
<saw:column formula="MyTable."Sales Rep"" columnID="c3">PS: How can you correctly escape the string &quot so it doesn't become " in here?

"Subscriptions cannot be created because the credentials used to run the report are not stored, or if a linked report, the link is no longer valid" error

Get the aforementioned error. I have modified my Data Source many times trying different settings. I created a SQL Login called RS_Subscriber, local machine acct the same name, added the same as a user for our database and the ReportServer database. Tried
with and without the Use as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source checked. I Test the connection okay but keep getting the #$^^$& error message.
Does anyone have explicit instructions on what type of account, where to create the account, what rights the account needs in order for the stored data source credentials to work?
MichiganMike

Hi, This is because SSRS requires a Login to connect to the datasource to process the report when subscription will be occuring at its scheduled time. I would recommend you to store the credential securily into report server.
GoTo: Report>Properties> Click on the Data Sources tab and you will see following options:
a)A shared data source
b)A custom data source
Use option b) and click on option Credentials stored securely in the report server
and provide credential information and further you can use options: Windows credentials and Impersonate the authenticated User if you require. Click on apply button.
*You can use any option of them provided in first option(a) also using the shared data source which is having credential saved into report server.
Once you have done with above you will be able to create subscription.

Using prompt in the report

Hi
I am generating report having prompt ,my report displays having deptno,deptname,designation.
By selecting the deptno through prompt the report generated for particular deptno information.But the thing is i dont want to drag deptno into result page only i took deptname,designation but i want to display deptno also in report by selecting deptno in prompt.
pls let me know wat property of prompt will help full is there any other way.
Thanka in advance.

You need to use the UserResponse() function to show the selected value from the prompt on Report.
Create a variable on report with formula - UserResponse("Enter Dept No.")
P.S. The string here Enter Dept No. should exactly match with the prompt string.

Rohit

Using ISCRCommandTable in the Reports Application Server

Hi
We have a report that is linked to a Command but the query may be constructed in different ways (using different tables). In past we've pushed the data to the report but I was looking into pulling the data.
I thought it might be possible to create a Command Object then edit the CommandText Property in code using the RAS API (inproc). Though it's possible to set the CommandText this does not seem to effect the data displayed. Is there a reason for this? Am I doing something wrong?
       Dim mySampleReportPath As String = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SetCommandtext\Report1.rpt"
        rd.Load(mySampleReportPath)
        ' Access the ReportClientDocument API in-process using the ReportDocument class.
        rcd = rd.ReportClientDocument
       'Change SQL in Command.
        Dim c As CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRCommandTable
        With rcd.DataDefController.Database.Tables
            c = .Item(.FindByAlias("Command"))
            c.CommandText = "SELECT name, '123' as test FROM Checklist"
            rcd.DataDefController.ParameterFieldController.SetCurrentValue("", "test", "USA")
            rcd.DataDefController.ParameterFieldController.SetCurrentValue("", "title", c.CommandText)
        End With
        ' Set the report source of the Crystal Report viewer to the instance of the report.
        myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = rd
Cheers
Alex

Found the answer in this code example: [NET-CS2005_RAS-UNMANAGED_CR115_MODIFY_COMMAND-TABLE-SQL|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/30da384c-bb66-2b10-8392-96acb15624c6]

Using attributes in the Report Designer

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to display attributes of an InfoObject in the Report Designer? I made a query using several attributes of an InfoObject. This works great when I just run the query but as soon as I use the query as a datasource in the Report Designer the attributes are gone.
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi
you can view the attributes in RD.
which version of RD u r in. previous revisions u r not able to see the Attributes in the RD update ur system to latest revision.
In the Older versions u can select the attribute, After executing the Query, Click on Filter then select infoobject and Edit. In the Selector u can view ur attributes for the Selected Info object

Using WEBUTIL in the Menu - problems when not in current form..

We make a webutil call in the menu - but it is a problem when the current form does not have webutil attached to it.
Is there any work around other than putting webutil in 100 forms?
OPEN_FORM/CALL_FORM both affected.

I've just spotted this thread, so my comments might be too late to be useful, but... I had a similar problem, and as Eric suggested, went for the approach of having a single, small form dedicated solely to running Webutil functions. Any form or menu option that needs to do something WebUtil-related (e.g. 'I need to have File A moved from the apps server to the client') calls a library routine which then calls the dedicated form, passing it all the instructions it needs to carry out the action. Control then returns to the original form. At the moment, I leave the dedicated form in the background in modeless state, so it can be used again if needed elsewhere without having to be reloaded. (If the user tries to click on the modeless form, it shoves control straight back to the 'main' form.)
I read somewhere that ideally you shouldn't WebUtil-enable every form, if most of the time, most of them won't use it. There's the overhead of initialising all the beans every time a form is opened, and it seems to me that that's relatively intensive, as bean usage goes. Not a showstopper by any means, though.

How can I get Status of the report using after report trigger

I want to get Status of my report on GUI . I am aware that we can look into XMLP_SCHED_OUTPUT table to get all the required details but I am not aware as how I can pull data from this table and make it available on GUI screen. Or is there any way to use jobid of the report and use in Data template of the same report?
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

What/which GUI? One of your own making? Design it and query from the table(s) of interest, and populate fields based on the results. Which job ID? The latest or one of your choosing? Add a drop down list or menu and let the user select which job. Fairly vague requirements you've listed.

"Failed to open the connection" problem related to multiple tables in the report?

Post Author: Gadow
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
System specifics:
Web environment using ASP.Net 2.0 (from Visual Studio 2005 Professional)
Crystal Reports 2008, v. 12.0.0.549, Full
We have set up the following method for displaying reports via our website:
User is sent to a report-specific page. The user is given some filtering options specific to the report that will be viewed. When the user has specified the data filters, the user clicks a button.
The page wraps up the report parameters -- selection query, formula values, report location, the name to be displayed, etc. -- into a class which gets put into the Session object.
The page redirects to DisplayReport.aspx. ALL reports redirect to this page.
DisplayReport.aspx retrieves the report parameters from Session. A ReportDocument object is created and loaded, then set with the data from the parameters class.
A ConnectionInfo object is created and set with the relevant log on credentials. All of the reports draw from the same database, so the connection information is hard-coded as the same for all reports. The page then iterates through all of the tables in the Database.Tables collection of the ReportDocument and calls ApplyLogOnInfo to each table using the ConnectionInfo object.
The page is rendered and the user gets the filtered report.
We currently have seven reports. Five reports work fine and display the correctly filtered data with no error messages. Two reports generate a Failed to open the connection error and do not display. I have verified that the queries being sent to DisplayReport.aspx are valid, and as I said the connection information itself is hard-coded in the one page that displays the reports and this is identical to all reports.
The five reports that do work all have a single data table, either an actual database table or a single view. The two reports that do not work all have multiple tables. As far as I can tell, this is the only difference between the sets; all seven reports are based on the same DSN and I have verified the database on all of the reports. All of the reports were written using Crystal Reports 8, and all of the reports display fine in a Windows app I wrote some years ago using Crystal Reports 8. Again, the only difference between those reports that do work and those that do not is the number of tables used in the report: one table or view in the reports that display, more than one table (tables only, none use views) in the reports that do not display.
As for the code I am using, below are the relevant methods. The function MakeConnectionInfo simply parses out the components of a standard SQL connection string into a ConnectionInfo object. DisplayedReport is the ID of the CrystalReportViewer on the page.Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Dim o As Object = Session("ReportParams")
        Dim ReportURL As String = ""
        'Verify that there is a ReportParameters object
        If o Is Nothing OrElse o.GetType IsNot GetType(ReportParameters) Then 'Redirect to the error page
            Response.Redirect("/errors/MissingReport.aspx")
        End If
        ReportParams = CType(o, ReportParameters)
        'Verify that the report exists
        ReportURL = "/Reports/ReportFiles/" + ReportParams.ReportName
        ReportPath = Server.MapPath(ReportURL)
        If Not File.Exists(ReportPath) Then
            Response.Redirect("/errors/MissingReport.aspx?Report=" + ReportParams.ReportTitle)
        End If
        InitializeReport()
    End Sub
    Protected Sub InitializeReport()
        Dim RD As New ReportDocument
        Dim CI As ConnectionInfo = MakeConnectionInfo(DB_Bonus)
        Dim RPF As CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField = Nothing
        RD.Load(ReportPath)
        If ReportParams.SelectString <> "" Then
            Dim Adapt As New SqlDataAdapter(ReportParams.SelectString, DB_Bonus)
            Dim DS As New Data.DataSet
            Adapt.Fill(DS)
            RD.SetDataSource(DS.Tables(0))
        End If

                    Case Else
                        'For now, treat these as if they were strings. If things blow up here,
                        'we will need to add the appropriate formatting for the field type.
                        FFD.Text = String.Format("""""", kvp.Value)
                End Select
            End If
        Next
        For Each T As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In RD.Database.Tables
            Dim TLI As TableLogOnInfo = T.LogOnInfo
            TLI.ConnectionInfo = CI
            T.ApplyLogOnInfo(TLI)
        Next
        DisplayedReport.ReportSource = RD
    End Sub
Does this approach not work with reports containing multiple tables, or is there something I'm missing? Any meaningful suggestions would be much appreciated.

Environment variable setting not working in the report

Hi everybody,
Iam facing a problem related to reports10g ids. database is 9i
My basic requirement is ,i want to show a report out put in a BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE Language.
For this purpose i configured the report_server.conf file like
<environment id="PS">
<envVariable name="NLS_LANG" value="BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8MSWIN1252"/>
</environment>
After that i added a entry along with the web.show_documents(using for calling the report)envid=PS
when iam running the report ,report server is only converting one date field in to portuguese ,rest of them are same as in the database.
Actualy i dont know where i did wrong.if anybody know please help meee
Thanks in advance
mathew

Hello Matthew,
See Note:231051.1, Dynamic Environment Switching In Reports 9i for an example of setting your environment variables at runtime. It uses REPORTS_PATH, there is also an entry for NLS_LANG in the reports.sh file (in UNIX). This setting is causing the conflict when you try to set it at runtime.
I think you have to remove the entry from reports.sh config file and then you will have to pass the parm at runtime everytime.
I hope this helps!
