Dashboards:The Web report in BW each have specific URL. But for the users it is difficult to remember the URL.
So they create a Dashbord which essentially displays the main page from where you can navigate to the report that you want. The dashboard typically may contain chart also. The dashboards are now designed in Enterprise Portal. The dashboard main page would be different for different users based on their role.

Crystal Report XI R2 - export to .csv not working properly

Hi Folks,
I developed reports in Crystal Report XI R2 version (with service pack 6) and calling them from Power Builder 11.5. When I export the report to .csv format I see only parameter names with values (supplied to call this report) in csv file.
For eg:
Parameters are
Start Date: 01/01/2012
End Date: 02/01/2012
CompanyID: 21234
Regular output:
colum1 colum2 ...... columnn
data1    data2 ....... data-n
data1    data2 ...... data-n
data1    data2 ....... data-n
..... 10 records
csv output looks like this:
Start Date 01/01/2012 End Date 02/02/2012 CompanyID 21234
Start Date 01/01/2012 End Date 02/02/2012 CompanyID 21234
Start Date 01/01/2012 End Date 02/02/2012 CompanyID 21234
..... 10 records
Please let me know what changes should I do.
Thanks
Indra

Perform below steps
- export the report from the CR XI R2 designer, verify the oputput.
- View the report in the CR viewer from the app, verify the output
- Export the report through code using the ExportOptions, check the output.
You may would like to upgrade to CR XI R2 A

JRC (Crystal Report Viewer 11.**.**) Requires any license

Dear All,
We am using Crystal report 10 and JRC (Crystal Report Viewer 11.*.*) . we have license for crystal report 10 but no license for JRC 11. I downloaded JRC JARS from internet, so do we require License for JRC to use in the Production Enviornment.. If so can i get license for JRC 11 alone.
What about Crystal report for Eclipse2.0 (CR4E2.0). Does this also requires license to use in the production enviornment.
Please reply me as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance

You will need to have a look at the [Crystal Reports Developer Advantage License|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting-dashboarding/reporting/developeradvantage/index.epx].
I think that will answer most of your questions.

Dunning Letter as Crystal Report: What tables? (SAP B1 9.0)

Dear Experts,
I am being asked to revise the Dunning Letters for our clients. The existing PLDs for each Dunning Letter shows most data fields as system variables. The existing Crystal Report for Dunning Letter 1 is a conversion from the PLD and doesn't show table information for most of the report's main items. There are tables in the report but they are standard ones (OADM, OADP, OCRD, OHEM, OSLP). It also includes a "table" called "PLD__ITEMS" which has all the PLD system variables and no B1 table or field/column information.
As I'm just now starting to work with dunning letters, I see that I can't even run this report in Crystal. The PLD__Items datasource prompts me for a file path and class name. Any ideas what one enters here to run the report outside of B1 (from the Crystal report designer)?
The main focus of my question is: Has anyone created a Crystal Report to replicate the Dunning Letter and if so, what tables are involved and how are they connected? If I can create a Dunning Letter entirely in Crystal, I can replicate it across all clients and get the correct fields/columns of data the clients want. The inclusion of the PLD__Items apparently limits my ability to test the results. I would prefer to avoid the PLD limitations.
Thanks for any assistance.

Thank you Nagarajan. I have a dunning letter created in Crystal Reports for our client. It is fairly limited in scope, it just has the customer name and address, invoice numbers and dates, amounts due and the text they wanted in it.
I can import it into B1 9.0 and set it as the default for Dunning Letter #1 and it runs, but unlike other formats where there is a DocEntry and/or ObjectID and a ?DocKey@ or ?ObjectId@ parameter, how do I limit the report to just one customer? Typical document layouts run for the document that's on the screen. In the dunning process, the report runs once for every customer when the Dunning Letter Method is set to "One Letter per BP". I have to limit the report to one customer at a time. Right now, each dunning letter based on the Crystal report is identical and it contains all the data for every customer.
So, does anyone have any ideas for what selection criteria needs to be included in the Crystal report to have it select just one customer from the dunning wizard tables? Thanks.
Michael
Edit: I created a ?WizardID@ parameter and a ?CardCode@ parameter to limit the report to a single dunning wizard event and a single customer. While it works fine in Crystal itself, it doesn't work in B1 at all. I had thought that by limiting the report in this way, it would only create dunning letters for a single customer.

What parameters should I use for a dunning letter in Crystal Reports?

Hello
I have created a dunning letter in Crystal Reports. I want to import this layout as a layout (not a report) in Business One.
The problem is that I don't know the parameters in the report so I can import the layout between the standard PLD layouts (like Dunning 1, dunning 2 dunning 3 dunning all etc). I tried a few but import fails everytime. I can't check the parameters in another report, as SAP only uses standard PLD layouts.
Does anybody know what parameters to use in this report? Thanks.

I did areal photography one time. What you have listed would not be on my short list for lenses to take at all.
Maybe you could supply a little more info of the 50-100mm ? I am going to guess you have the first version of the Canon EF-S 75-300mm? It is a faily slow lens but if these two are the only possibility, I'd choose it.
It and the XTi will work as a mattter of fact I took two XTi's on my flying photo experience. But I had the fantastic EF 70-200mm. Another thing, there is NOT a lot of room on these aircraft.

There is a very usefull document, HowTo_Work_withCR_88.pdf.
This should have been in you 8.8 upgrade package.
This document explains quite a bit about how to create crystal reports and how to import into 8.8 as reports, or layouts.
Your question is not specific enough for me to answer, but if you re-phrase it, I'll see if I can help.

Crystal Reports for Eclipse Free Version - What is the status of this tool?

I'm inquiring about the status of this tool now that SAP is on the scene.
I used it about a year ago and am coming back to it - I'm not finding much on the new SAP support site.
Is it being killed by SAP? I don't want to start a new project with a dead SDK...
If not, what is the latest release, where are docs for the latest release, and where can I download the latest release?
Thanks in advance.

Well, I tried that link, then tried to get to an article (link) that is behind 'Understanding the relationship between Crystal Reports, Java, and Eclipse' and I cannot get to the link.
I keep getting a SAP -- Expert Weblog Login challenge screen. I'm registered (I think) with all of the new SAP SDN and Business Objects developer networks (I mean - i'm logged in here, right?).
Lastly - I was the administrator and manager for the Business Objects OEM Premier Partner plan for my last company, and I am intimately familiar with this product - what I'm asking for is most likely not behind the scenes on some of these articles. What I need to know is what is SAPs commitment to this product, where is the original development team for it (are they being supported for Ganymede, etc.) and what are the future plans for it? I would prefer answers directly from SAP development management giving definitive direction on this product's future before I recommend taking a chance on it to my firm.

What version of crystal report distribution should I install? CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_5 or CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0_5

Hi,
On Production server, we use window 2008, 32 bit machine, the application is visual studio 2010, sql 2012, what version of crystal report should I install for this production server?
I should install CRforVS_redist_install_32bit_13_0_5 or CRforVS_redist_install_64bit_13_0_5?
On test server, we use window 2008 R2, 64 bit machine, the application is visual studio 2010, sql 2012, I install both version in order to make the crystal report working correctly on the application. if I miss one of them, there are some crystal report function doesn't work..
For production server, we want to install only one, so, could you give me suggestion which version is correct version to make the crystal report work totally correctly on the VS application?
thanks
Kelvin

Hi Kelvin
First, you should really be using SP 10.
next, if your app is compiled as 32 bit, deploy 32 bit runtime.
If it is compiled as 64 bit, deploy 64 bit runtime.
If it is compiled as Any CPU and deployed to a 64 bit OS, install 64 bit runtime.

Cyrstal Report Server Version Compatible With What Crystal Reports 2008 Ver

I am currently running Crystal Report Server Version 12.1.0.882 . I am having issues getting my reports to run on the reporting server. I need to install Crystal Reports on the same machine so that I can test the connection to the database that we are reporting on. The Crystal Report 2008 version I have is 12.2.0.290 but it is incompatible with the current Server version so they can not both run on the same machine.
What version of the Crystal Reporting Server matches up with the latest version of Crystal Report 2008 12.2.0.290?

If you want to run Crystal Reports created with Crystal Reports 2008 designer (I believe you are using SP2) you need to have Crystal Reports Server 2008.
Hope this helps...
