Web Elements Pass Thru HTML

Hello, I am reading the Web Elements 2.0 doc from the ZIP file on the Diamond site and it says you need to enable pass thru html on the BO Enterprise Server.Are they referring to the Internet Server here or the BOE XI server??We are a distributed installation with BOE XI on one server and Microsoft IIS on another.Here is the registry entry[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.0\Components\DHTMLViewer] 'EncodeHTMLForSingleLineFieldObjects"=noThanks,Randy

Hi Randy,
I just performed this operation yesterday.Â The reg file included in the zip file needs to be merged into the registry on the server where the Business Objects server application is installed.Â In our installation, the IIS server and the Business Objects application are installed in the same physical box.
Hope this helps
Â Phil

You are correct.You need to enable pass through HTML on the Web Server not the BOE Server. Rob Horne <a href="/blog/10">Rob's blog - http://diamond.businessobjects.com/blog/10</a>

Pass values from report1 to report2 but without displaying the web element

Need to pass a string value from report1 to report2.This can be done by using web elements. But in that case the web element is showing up when we run report1.So what is the way to avoid display of web element but still pass the value to report 2.
Thanks

if you have no need for webelements controls on a report and just need a simple hyperlink, use opendocument syntax in conjunction with an object's hyperlink properties in the formatting editor.
see your online help for more info on opedocument.

WEB Elements Usage

Can WEB elements be used by reports that are not viewed through Infoview? For example a report being produced via a .NET application? If so are there examples of this available? 

hello,Â
any html Crystal Reports viewer that can display passthrough HTML should be okay to use this function suite. viewers such as active x will not work.Â
in order for the controls to pass the proper context from main to target report, opendocument syntax must be supported by your environment.
even if you are using the business objects viewers, you do not need to present infoview to the end user...by creating a favourite that points to a "portal" report (i.e. a main report that has links, tree menus, tab menus that open up a report within an iframe or in a new window...) you can bypass infoview altogether. for example, if i have a report, webelementsdemoportal, i can use a favourite to access that report and not see any of the infoview wrapper using opendocument syntax similar to below...
[http://machine:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=rpt&sIDType=Name&sDocName=WebElementsDemoPortal | http://machine:8080/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=rpt&sIDType=Name&sDocName=WebElementsDemoPortal]
watch in the next week or so for a package called "Crystal Reports Web Pack" which will have a portal example that uses the xtreme sample reports. there will also be an interactive quadrant report, and a yahoo maps integration report.
i'm not familiar with any .net examples nor have i tried this. one main purpose of building the function suite was to allow the report developer to develop more aspects of their web application within crystal reports and without an additional development tool...to create things like simple reporting portals, jump pages, custom parameter pages, embedded controls, etc.
let me know if it works out in your environment as i am curious.
cheers, jamie

OSB pure pass thru

Hi,
1. There is a back office web service. Lets say it it is called bo-ws
2. There is a web app that want to consume bo-ws
3. OSB role is to act as a pure pass through between web app and back office web service .. not to manipulate the soap message at all
4. web app will sign and encrypt the soap message for invokiing bo-ws
Can OSB act as pure pass thru between web app and back office web service in this case where web app will sign and encrypt the soap message?
web app (signed and encrypted soap msg) --> OSB Proxy SVc (just route to biz svc) --> OSB Biz Svc -->Back office Svc
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, you can configure OSB as a pass through or an active intermediary. OSB Security Guide will help you with the details.
Check Pass Through Configuration Item 4:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/security/message_level.html#wp1077884
Quote:
+# Active-Intermediary+
The proxy service processes the header in the client’s SOAP messages and enforces the message-level access control policy on the messages.
For example, a client encrypts and signs its SOAP message and sends it to a proxy service. The proxy service decrypts the message and verifies the digital signature, then routes the message. Before the proxy service sends the response back to the client, the proxy service signs and encrypts the message. The client then decrypts the message and verifies the proxy service’s digital signature.
+# Pass-Through+
Instead of processing the header in the client’s SOAP messages, the proxy service passes the message untouched to a business service. Although the proxy service does not process the secured sections of the SOAP message, it can route the message based on values in the header. When the business service receives the message, it processes the security header and acts on the request. Note that the business service must use the Web Services Policy (WS-Policy) framework to describe which of its operations are secured with message-level security. The business service sends its response to the proxy service, and the proxy service passes the response untouched to the client.
For example, the client encrypts and signs the message and sends it to the proxy service. The proxy service does not decrypt the message or verify the digital signature; it simply routes the message to the business service. The business service decrypts the messages and verifies the digital signature, and then processes the request. The response path is similar.

PAss thru authentication from solaris 2.9 proxy 36sp2 - iws 6 sp5

hi,
we have a scenario where user's are authenticated at the proxy, then when they access a protected web dir they are authenticated again (the auth window pops up etc)..
given that both these authneticate from the same directory is it possible to pass thru the authentication so that the window does not pop up twice?
thanks

Hi
This as per the HTTP/1.1 RFC (RFC2616)
The Connection general-header field allows the sender to specify options that are desired for that particular connection and MUST NOT be communicated by proxies over further connections.
The Connection header has the following grammar:
Connection = "Connection" ":" 1#(connection-token)
connection-token = token
HTTP/1.1 proxies MUST parse the Connection header field before a message is forwarded and, for each connection-token in this field, remove any header field(s) from the message with the same name as the connection-token. Connection options are signaled by the presence of a connection-token in the Connection header field, not by any corresponding additional header field(s), since the additional header field may not be sent if there are no parameters associated with that connection option.
Read the following at
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html#sec8.1.3
and
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.10

Crystal Web Elements in XI 3.0

Hi All,
Has anyone been able to get the Crystal Web Elements to work on XI 3.0.
For R2 the steps are simple to add the parameters in the web.xml file. I have tried the same for XI 3.0 and when the report is run it ain't working.
Is it still supported on XI 3.0 ????
Thanks in advance
Jacques

Try the following post:

Crystal Reports XI Web Elements - populate WESelect element values from database field

Hi,I am using Web Elements with Crystal Reports XI. I need to know how to populate the ElementValues and ElementDisplays arguments of the WESelect function from a database field. In the function expert when I click on the ElementsValues and ElementDisplays values a drop down appears which will let me select a field or formula. However, when I try saving and leaving the formula workshop an error message is generated. "A subscript must be between 1 and the size of the array".I assume this is because the WESelect function is looking for the "|" separator in the ElementValues and ElementDisplays arguments.Please advise.Thanks

hello,Â
in the webelements.zip download you should find a DCP report which shows the method for "rolling up" data using a subreport and passing these to a select control using shared variables.
basicallyÂ a string running total rolls up the values at run time and character separates them for use by the controls. for any type of select (drop down menu etc.) controls all of the values have to be made available before the main report is run so that's why you use this techique. you can think of it this way...instead of having an asp page that runs a database query and then populates a javascript array for the control, the subreport rolls up the values and passes them to the control.
other types of controls that you wish to place directly on a group header or details section can be run off of main report fields or formulae...e.g. you can place a checkbox control on the details section without having to roll up the data in advance.
by just putting a field name in the parameter for a select control, you will only get one value per control.
i hope that this makes sense as it takes a bit to get used to at first,
jamie

Crystal Reports Web Elements - database write back question

Hi,
I have a question about Web Elements. In description of them on SAP site it says they can provide "write-backs to the database". This is something I would really like to see. I have a scenario:
User sees a long report and sometimes she needs to add a quick note that should be saved into the database. That note can be entered into WETextArea I suppose and WESubmit button click can be an event trigger for such a write back.
I would like to see example of such functionality on Crystal Report rpt file.
Please advise if anybody knows, I would highly appreciate your assistance.
Regards, Grettir

hello,
webelements can be used for the interface to database writebacks...they don't do the writebacks themselves but create the interface to make it easier for an end user to add annotations etc...these values are then passed to a second report or a subreport. using the default prompting interface makes this quite difficult.
here's where the database writebacks are done...since version 9 of crystal reports there have been command objects. command objects have the ability to use any database syntax that is compliant with the database connection. i.e. if the syntax can go through the odbc layer then you can do this in a command in crystal reports.
commands will honour database securities so you don't have to worry about someone dropping a table if rights have been properly assigned. a word of caution there to ensure that database rights have been done properly as you don't want all end users to have the ability to write a report that can do database updates.
commands are also database specific so you would have to check your database online help to see what syntax would be appropriate.
the workflow would be to have 2 reports, one that had the webelements user interface and one that did the writeback. this user interface report would have the text object and submit button and using open document syntax, the values would be passed to the 2nd report that had the command object. the command object would have a prompt that would take the values from the open document url and then use the values in the write back.
for example,
1) the user interface report has one text object called "t1" and one submit button.
2) the target command object report has a prompt called "t1".
3) the target report command object has syntax like
INSERT INTO yourtestable
VALUES ('{?t1}')
SELECT 1
4) yourtesttable in this case has only one text field
5) the "SELECT 1" at the end of the command ensures that a dummy value is returned after running the update...to avoid a database error
6) this syntax would be for sql server
this is of course a very simplified example.
if you are at tech ed phoenix, please drop by the business objects test drive area & i will be there. i can show you a bunch of different webelements examples and write back reports etc. until you become quite bored
i hope that this helps,
jamie

Web Elements 2.4 - Encoding Values

I am using web elements 2.4 on XIR2.
I have some cascading dropdown boxes populated with dynamic values from a subreport.
This all works fine.
However, some of the data has ampersand's in it such as 'B&P Level'
Looking at the opendocument URL that the web element creates, it does not encode the values and so
the & in the value is mistaken as the start of a new parameter.
My question is, is there any update to web elements to handle non-standard characters and to encode the values in the javascript before it passes them to the opendocument URL?
Thanks

hey Brian,
you have a couple of options when you have characters in the database that url's do not care for.
option A
if you use the extended (ext) cascading controls, they allow for a display value and an ID value to be passed. the ID is then used in your target report instead of your display value. this way the database values that you display in the controls do not have to be changed or encoded.
option B
you can use the urlencode function in crystal reports to change the value in the subreport that is rolling up the data.
cheers,
jamie

Firefox 4 on Windows 7/XP is not allowing user interaction with form elements that contain HTML coding. For instance, a textarea element whose content includes h4 My Content /h4 br /

On a Mac, Firefox 4 was also dysfunctional and the "enter" key immediately submitted the form instead of adding a line if the cursor was placed inside content to start with, but on Windows it seems impossible to get the cursor inside the textarea content at all.
The "view source" of the form textarea element plus the content that our user entered is pasted below:
<textarea name="content" cols="120" rows="50"><h4>SEARCH TOOL NOT WORKING</h4> 
<h3>TRY FIRST</h3>
Check for popup blockers; set for allow 
Mac users may want to use Firefox if Safari does not work and not a popup problem.
<h3>COMMUNICATION FOR TROUBLESHOOTING </h3>
Must provide the following information: 
Computer's operating system? 
Browser and version? 
On campus or off, if off how are you getting a Brown IP address? 
What in detail is wrong? 
What have you tried to overcome the problem?

<h3>IF ALL ELSE FAILS</h3>
Contact CIS HELP - it may be your computer.
A computer cluster in one of the libraries or CIT if the problem is not with the vendor. </textarea>

p.s. I realize that the user content is somewhat confusing, and your web page interprets the HTML tags instead of displaying them explicitly...
The user content begins after the <textarea> element and includes HTML headers, breaks, etc. Other HTML content inside form elements gave similar results. Thanks!

STEPS
1) Open the following file
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Web Content\InfoViewApp\CrystalReports\web.config
2) **** Make a back up (copy) of the above file ***
3) change the web.config file so that it looks like the "AFTER" section below
BEFORE
 <configSections>
 <section name="CrystalReports" type="System.Configuration.NameValueFileSectionHandler,System,Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
 </configSections>
 <CrystalReports>
 <add key="path.dhtmlViewer" value="/crystalreportviewers12" />
 </CrystalReports>
AFTER
 <configSections>

Pass through HTML in Tech Comm Suite

Hi Folks,
I'm evaluating the Adobe Technical Communication Suite and
would like to know if there is a way to pass through source HTML
content when my Frame documents are added to a RH project by
reference.
I am generating Web Help (if that makes a difference).
This is possible using WWP2003 (our current solution) and I'm
wondering if there is an equivalent feature in RH.

hi Prithvi,
adding a context parameter to the appropriate file will depend on what web server your administrator installed and how / where they installed it. the directly listed there is just when a default install was done on the "C" drive.
