Vertical labels displaying horizontaly Crystal enterprise XI

Hi,
I have a report where Page Header A has a few horizontal fields and labels, and Page Header B has a dozen or so vertical field labels only.
The report looks good when viewed from Crystal design, although when the report is mounted on the staging server the vertical labels (page headerB) display as horizontal. ?!?!?!?!
I'm using crystal design XI ver.11.0.0.2495
The staging server is using busniness objects enterprise ver. 11
can anyone help me to figure out why the vertical labels are displaying horizontal on the enterprise version ????
thanks !
Rick

Rick,
Measure the height of each section, and use the measurement in a stored variable, to accumulate the current length of the report. Then use the section expert for each section, to check the current value of said variable.
It will not work in all cases, but maybe with some changes for your scenario it will help.

Simple sample code to display a Crystal Report from Crystal Enterprise?

I am looking for a sample application that will "simply" view a report stored on our Crystal Enterprise server. I have looked at "boesdk_net_samples_12.zip", but that isn't really what I am looking for. And, the "CrystalReportViewer" and "CrystalReportSource" add ins for Visual Studio seem to only work with a "local" file (instead of one Managed or UnManaged on our Crystal Enterprise server).
Can anyone point me to the right place? (Navigating the SAP site is so damn confusing!)

Hi Shayne,
You are not clear on how you will know which report you want and for which user? You can query the CMS database for the user and get all of their reports but without knowing which report object ID to get you will need to have the user select one. Unless you simply assume you want the last one, but if you don't give them a choice and they miss one day, or what ever your parameter is to select, there will be no way to get back to that report.
For sample code on how to query the BOE Server look in the Enterpise SDK samples. You do need to use managed code. I don't suggest going into the FRS\output folder to use unmanaged reporting. There are a lot of folders created and it's easier to simply query the CMS database to get the latest instance.
Since you have BOE you should also have a support contract. I suggest you log a case on line in Service Market Place and get a dedicated Engineer to assist you.
This may be simply easier for you to use the Personal Favorites folder of the user so they can browse all report instances belonging to them. I suggest you talk to the BOE Administrator for more info on what BOE is capable of doing. what you want is fairly easy to manage with Enterprise itself.
Thank you

How To Run a Parameterized Report Stored in Crystal Enterprise on demand

I have been integrating into Crystal Enterprise 10 for many years now with no problem. We use .net to schedule and run reports as well some administration tasks. Users can view reports through our asp.net web application using the crystal viewers.
However, I now have a task that requires us to run a report that is stored in CE on demand. This can NOT be done through the viewer because it will not have direct user interaction. The crystal report has to be bundled with other documents and then displayed to the user in a single PDF. I have everything working right now if the report has already been scheduled and ran through CE.
What I can't figure out to do is how to actually run the report in CE on demand and immediately get the results back. I can't schedule it (even for immediate running) because I can't have it backed up in the job server queue. If the report was local on the machine that Integerate with CE, I think it is as simple as loading document, setting parameters, and calling refresh. However, I need this to happen in CE with the RAS or PageServer server. In other words, the execution of the report needs to occur on server and I need the end results.
I have scoured the Net looking for an example but everything either talks about scheduling through Job server or on demand through the viewer.
Hopefully someone can help.

Thanks for the answer Elaine, but I am still not quite there.
We already had interactive on-demand report viewing working through our web app.
The problem is that I need non-interactive on-deman report running. Let me explain the process a little more to help paint the picture of the process we have.
1. While working in our application, the user selects an "information dump" on the selected the employee. This dump is information from a number of different places and document types.
2. The application then goes to each of these different information areas and converts the information to PDF format.
3. Application stitches all the individual PDF files into a single PDF which is what is returned to the user via the web application. The delivery mechanism cannot change due to requirement limitations.
Currently, the information is coming from multiple MS Word mailmerge documents merged "on-the-fly" with data for the employee and a stored HTML worksheet that is also converted to PDF.
We now have to add a PDF version of 2 reports that are ran when the user requests the information dump.
I already have the code to connect to CE and get a reference to the RASReportFactory. We do this today using the interactive viewer. However, we use the viewer to display reports that have already been scheduled and ran. This means we simply make a call to RASReportFactory.OpenReportSource to get the source for the viewer.
We now can't have a viewer in this process. I found the call to the method OpenDocument on RASReportFactory to get a handle to a ReportClientDocument.
I know how to properly set the values for the report arguments as well as the database information.
What I don't see is a method to tell it to run the report. I see Save and SaveAs but this simply saves the document by to CE or to a local file with the changes I made to parms and db info.
What do I call to tell it to execute the report so I can turn around and export it to PDF? Thats the million dollar question.

Migrating reports from Crystal Enterprise 8.5 to BO Enterprise 11.5

Hi,
We have an application configured on Crystal Enterprise 8.5 that uses unmanaged url reports method. Now we have to migrate the application to Business Object Enterprise 11.5. We are done with the installation of Business Object Enterprise 11.5 and configured the application on the new server, but the reports are not working. When we access these reports using URL http://HOST_NAME/VirtualDirectory/Report_Name.rpt?Init=ACTX:Connect we get the message "The page cannot be displayed".
I am are not able to find the exact reason behind this behavior. We have also checked the mapping of extensions in IIS and found that the every extension (i.e. .rpt, .csp ect) of crystal is mapped to aspnet_isapi.dll, where as in Crystal Enterprise 8.5 these are mapped to wcsinsapi.dll. Is there is some issue with the installation?
Thanks!

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the reply.
I searched the forum and found the link to [url|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/en/BOE_SDK/boesdk_java_dg_doc/doc/boesdk_java_dg/URLreporting_new.html] which specifies the process to use URL Reporting for Crystal Reports . But to implement this we have to change the architecture of our existing application as presently we are directly accessing the report in URL to run the report. I was not able to found any solution that implements this architecture.
Does Business Object Enterprise 11.5 still supports this architecture?
If we use the architecture specified in the above URL for URL Reporting for Crystal Reports then how we can migrate all our reports to BOE 11.5? We have to use the Publish Wizard for that, to get the ids for our reports?
There was a parameter APSTOKEN how can we get a token. Can it be a static token that can be used by all the users to access the reports?
Thanks!

Crystal Enterprise Server Installation

Hi all,
My aim is to write a crystal report that will communicate with the BW Business Object and display the data from SAP BW Server and i want to publish the report through the web using the portal iview.

I download the Crystal DVD from http:
service.sap.com it contained three folders. They are...
1. Crystal Report(cr)
2. Crystal Enterprise(ce)
3. Crystal Enterprise SAP Add-On(ce_se_disc1)
For installing these software i needed three serial keys...
On running the installation i found "Get KeyCode" Button, which lead me to web page...
http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/sap/oem_bw35_sap/en/form.asp
On submitting the form from the above link i got the 3 serial keys.
But, When i tried to install the setups, it reported me an
error "Serial Key is invalid".
I am able to successfully install only the Crystal Reports(cr). The problem persists when i tried to install the Crystal Enterprise(ce) and addon.
I am looking forward for a solution about the above problem.
Points Guarenteed.
Thanks & Regards,
Maheswaran.B

Hi Sharad dixit,
As you can see the above posts, it clearly states the i am not able to install the crystal server on my machine because i donot have a key code.
Do you have the Key Code?
If you have please send it to me from the email id in my business card. ( Just click on my name in the left side of the post ).
If you are only intreasted in the crystal report document you can get it from the SDN or http://service.sap.com...

Exporting from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Excel

CA Forum: Exporting
Hi,
When Trying to export a report in Crystal Enterprise 10.0 to Excel , the column headings are not displayed but replaced by an empty row.
However, the download is working well when I do it in Crystal report X on my workstation.I have checked the option Simply page header. All the other options are unchecked.
Has someone find the same problem or has an idea to resolve it?
Thanks

SSO to Crystal enterprise eportfolio with SAPLOGONTICKET

Hi
We have setup Crystal Enterprise V10 to SAP Authentication and we are able to connect to Crystal eportfolio with SSO from EP6SP2 app integrator based iview without any problem, by giving R/3 userid, password via usermapping.
We have loaded verify.der from EP6SP2 in SAP R/3 and SAPLOGONTICKETS are working fine with other ESS iviews.
However for the Crystal eportfolio app integrator based iview if we change the logon method from UIDPW to SAPLOGONTICKET we are getting the login screen from Crystal eportfolio prompting for userid/password.
We have loaded verify.der in SAP R/3 and SAPLOGONTICKETS are working fine with other ESS iviews.
These are our settings on the app integrator based iview in EP6SP2:
URL template:
<System.protocol>://<System.server><System.uri>?<Authentication>
URL template fraction for SSO2:
MYSAPSSO2=<Request.SSO2Ticket>
URL template fraction for usermapping:
usr=<MappedUser>&pwd=<MappedPassword>&aut=secSAPR3
Required instance profile parameters on R/3 were set correctly, and all servers are referred with their FQDN.
Did we miss anything else that is specific to Crystal eportfolio? Has anyone successfully connected to Crystal eportfolio V10 from EP6SP2 using SAPLOGONTICKETS ? Appreciate if someone can share their experience.
Thanks
Nagesh

Hi Ingo
Thanks for your response.
1. URL that I am calling from inside the 'App Integrator' iview to access Crystal eportfolio is:
Name of the server:
<hostname>.<domain>.com
Protocol of target system:
HTTP
URI of Web Application:
/crystal/enterprise10/sap/ePortfolio/en/logon.csp
URL template fraction for Single Sign-on (SSO2):
MYSAPSSO2=<Request.SSO2Ticket>
2. URL of the Portal:
http://<portal_hostname>.<domain>.com
In both the above URLs, the <DNS domain> is same.
3. Log on to standalone eportfolio works perfect with 'SAP' Authentication. SAP User can logon to eportfolio directly from the browser using SAP userid/password.
For the above iview when SYSTEM is changed to UIDPW logon method it works perfect, and Portal user can get into crystal eportfolio from the app integrator based iview without any problem.
Once the logon method ( SYSTEM property) for the above iview is changed to SAPLOGONMETHOD single sign-on is not working anymore and the user receives Crystal eportfolio login screen.
Question is:
a) Can logon.csp file from Crystal handle SSO cookie coming from Portals and authenticate the user against SAP R/3, and let the user login successfully ??
b) Is the URL template fraction for single sign-on (SSO2) given above is corrrect/complete?
c) On support.businessobjects.com website I found that this is a known problem for Crystal 8.5 with Track/Problem ID: ADAPT00094464 and fix was given via CE8.5 Service Pack-I. Since we are running Crystal V10 I assume that this has been taken care of in the new release. Is it not true? or is there seperate service pack for V10 too..? Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Crystal Enterprise 9 and VS2002

Good night staff,
I have a problem with Crystal Enterprise 9
I'm using a server for the Reporting of Crystal and a client machine to receive the reports generated.
Server: Windows Server 2000
Client: Windows XP 2002 Service Pack 3
The problem is as follows:
- Inside the Debug page that prompts the generation of reports have the following block of code to log into the Crystal APS.
SessionMgr ceSessionmgr = new SessionMgr();
ceSession = ceSessionmgr.Logon(userid, password, aps, auth);
EnterpriseService ceEnterpriseService = ceSession.GetService("InfoStore");;
InfoStore ceInfoStore = new InfoStore(ceEnterpriseService) ;
Report rpt2;
- In line EnterpriseSession ceSession ceSessionmgr.Logon = (userid, password, aps, auth); and a logon between the server and the client but if I enter "QuickWatch" option in variable "ceSession"
right after logging all elements of variable'll go fading as updating the "QuickWatch"
Anyone have any idea what it might be?
thank you

I would like to know if it is possible to export from Crystal Enterprise 10 to a fixed length text file similar to the text exporting option using Crystal Reports 8.5. From Enterprise 10 I see you can export to Rich Text Format but that is not really the same.

BEx hierarchies not displayed in Crystal report parameters

Hi All,
I am trying to using a Bex query that has a cost center hierarchy with a variable that allows users to select specific nodes or even cost centers. In BEx reports, this query works fine and gives the users the view of the cost centres in a hierarchial manner. However, in Crystal reports, the query provides a drop down menu displaying a simple list of all the cost centres (not in a hierarchial manner). This confuses the user as to which element is a node and which is a cost centre
Kindly suggest how can we achieve the cost centre hierarchy to appear in the parameters in Crystal.
Thanks

Can Crystal Enterprise be configured so that it does not create files in the FileStore - Output

Post Author: christof
CA Forum: Administration
We are using the API to create pdf files using Crystal Enterprise but the problem is that now files are create in duplicate.We have one file which is stored in the filestore/output and another file which is stored as requested true the API. Is their a setting, configuration which could make it possible that no files are added in the filestore/output when the API is used. (when a onther filenam/path is given true the API) For now we should use a bat that removes those files every month.

Post Author: TAZ
CA Forum: Administration
Hi Christof,
If instances are being generated in the output FRS that would indicate reports with saved data as opposed to the input FRS which contains the report without saved data. I think this is needed for the conversion to PDF but you can post this question in the DEV forum and posibly find out for sure.

Upgrading from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Business Objects Enterprise 11

Here's the situation:
We decided to upgrade from Crystal Enterprise 10 on server A to Business Objects Enterprise 11 on server B. We went with the method of importing all the objects and users from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Business Objects Enterprise 11. The import also brought in all the DB connection settings that were set in Crystal Enterprise 10. I also brought over all the ODBC System DSNs so that those can be consisten with the old server.
The problem we are having is that the reports are failing due to the connections to the database. I thought importing the database connection settings from Crystal Enterprise 10 along with bringing over the ODBC System DSNs would not make this an issue but it hasn't.
I checked the server logs in SQL and it's telling me that it's trying to log into the server as NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON. Shouldn't it try to log under whatever I define in the report's database settings or ODBC System DSNs?
These same reports work fine in Crystal Reports and Crystal Enterprise 10.
Edited by: Gingerbread Man on Feb 9, 2010 10:41 AM

go into the properties of the report and verify that the Database Login values are still set. I found that it doesn't always transfer those when doing the import.

How to add crystal enterprise server in portal?

Hello, I am not familiar with SAP Portal, I am a little bit confused with the following direction from point 5. I don't know how to add the system in the landscape. I don't see the Edit list. The netweaver version is 2004.
To configure the BusinessObjects Enterprise server
1. From the top-level navigation bar, choose System Administration; then
choose System Configuration.
2. From the Detailed Navigation iView, choose System Landscape.
3. In the Portal Catalog, expand Portal Content.
4. In the folder containing the systems, right-click a system and choose
Open, and then choose Object.
5. In the System Landscape Editor, from the Edit list, select Crystal
Enterprise Server.
6. In the BusinessObjects Enterprise Editor, enter the following parameters:
u2022 Host Name of Crystal Enterprise Server:
Here you need to enter the BusinessObjects Enterprise server as fully
qualified host name (including the port).
For example: BusinessObjects001.business.net:1080
u2022 Path of BusinessObjects Enterprise Server:
Here you need to enter the path to the viewer application you want to
use for this system.

Hi,
the steps are under the assumption that you have a system already configured in the portal.
the values for the BusinessObjects server are just properties. If you don't have a system configured you would have to create a system first - otherwise you can set these properties for an exisitng system
