Wrong forum to post the question, try to post the question in crystal reports community.
Its not possible to edit the database fields while creating the reports, its only used to call the rows of values in it. Can you explain me in detail what are you actually looking for .

An error occured while generating a new report template

I have installed the Crystal Reports 2008 V2 and also the support pack. Installed the SAP Integration Kit XI 3.1 and the latest service pack 2.7. When I try to use the SAP Tool bar from Crystal Report , I can connect/see the queries but when I select any query to create a report I am getting an error message
"An error occured while generating a new report template". Any advise ? How do I turn on the trace in the client ?
Thanks,

Hi,
Did you update your Fix Pack...
Here is solution for Client...
To turn tracing on for client applications, you can use the following steps:
1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables button.
2. Under the User Variables, add the following variable and value:
For Enterprise XI:
Variable Name: BOE_LOGGER_ENVIRONMENT
Variable Value: -trace -loggingPath c:\logs
For Crystal Analysis, Crystal Enterprise, and Crystal Reports version 10 and earlier:
Variable Name: CRYSTAL_LOGGER_ENVIRONMENT
Variable Value: -trace -loggingPath c:\logging

Cannot Extract Embedded Font in PDF Report Generated Using Crystal Reports XI

The issue is that sometimes the PDF reports generated by Crystal Report XI are not showing the fonts properly. Arial font is used in the Crystal report template(.rpt file) for field label and data elements. When the report is opened in Adobe Reader, it displays the message - "Cannot extract the embedded font 'AAAAAA+ArialBold'. some characters may not display or print correctly." Other PDF Readers like Foxit show blank spaces instead. I tried to change the font to Courier New, Times New Roman etc but still getting the same message.
The issue is consistent when the application is deployed in Windows server. When deployed in Unix server the issue happens very occasionally. The font files are available and installed in the UNIX box.
Please tell me why this error message is shown and also tell me how to get it fixed.

Hi Scot
Just replied to your email re. conf call.
In the meantime.
1st question.
    Some of our developers are creating the reports under crystal 2008, while some are 2011.
    Could this be a problem, when they are run by the SDK?
    Should we upgrade all our developers to crystal 2011?
The version of CR a report is created in should not matter at all. I am 100% certain this is not the issue.
2nd question
    When the report is run, to create the pdf... why would it actually embed the font on the pdf?
    if they weren't embedded.. wouldn't it just pull up the proper font, if the user's pc had that font on their
    pc?
    if it does the common fonts aren't embedded, we would just have to worry about the things like
    barcode 3 of 9
I can not answer this as that essentially is the way the product is designed. It may look like a limitation, but there are no work-arounds and I would not consider this to be a bug. Perhaps an enhancement, but a pretty faint hope there. And even if, enhancements take very, very low priority and take long, long time before implementation.
3rd question
    Would the fonts, just need to be installed on the server?   we've seen some indication, that they
    also need to be in a java sub-directory
The fonts must be on the server as that is where the report engine does it's work, then the report is streamed to the user's browser. E.g.; there is no work done on the browser. Also, the process must have rights to access the fonts.
One last point. You mention deployment to Linux. Linux is not supported. Please see: SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Microsoft Visual Studio - Supported Platforms
I suspect this is more an issue with CR not working with the framework for Linux.

Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?

Hi,
I am a new user of Crystal Reports 2008.
I have created a report with charts in it. The input data comes from a csv text file.
Can I set the name of this text file as an input parameter?
as I need to generate 44 similar reports with different text filenames(and data)?
Thank you.
Regards

Brian,
Thanks much.
I did exactly what you said.
Just to see any change, I first gave a bad report file name just to see if I am accidentally pointing to a different file,
but I got an error saying report not found.
Then I renamed my original datafile name and generated a report and it still generated one without giving an error.
Then I also gave a junk name to the logoninfo and printed that name, the new name was assigned to logoninfo, but the code did not error out.
It ended up generating the report.
Now here is what I think is happening,
1) The save data in report option seems to be still on even though I have turned it off in 2 locations
a) file -> Report Options
b) file -> Options -> Reporting tab.
2) For some reason the logoninfo is getting ignored as well.
Since I did not see any answers yesterday I posted a link to this thread on the .Net forum
Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#
and Ludek Uher says that I am connecting to the text file via a DAO database engine and so need to use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database.
But the link he gave me tells me to try the same thing that we have been trying..
Here is my plan,
1) I will first try and find out why my save data with report option is still on ( but it shows off in Crystal ).
2) why is LogonInfo getting ignored.
Meanwhile any suggestions from anyone are welcome.

Field width in Crystal Reports 10 Standard Edition

I have a text field in an Access table of 50 chars. When I place that field on a report the default width in design view is less than 50, showing a given number of "X"s. I widen the field beyond the "X"s but still the full content of the field is not displayed in preview mode. For instance I have loaded the field with 50 chars and the 50 chars are not displayed in preview. Is there a way to tell Crystal Reports to default the width of the field in design view to the length of the field in Access? I am a former DOS programmer, where we would specify in the code the width of the display in a form or report. I have always been bothered by the GUI interface because the design interface does not default to the field width and therefore data can be hidden. Professionally, I missed the switch from the DOS interface to the GUI interface. This issue with field layout has always troubled me. Also in the Dummies book (and in CR Help) there is a statement to the effect that CR 10 "automatically adjusts the fields displayed to match the field sizes you chose, and spaces them out proportionally". I see no indication of this. Thanks.

Just to clarify, if I widen the field quite a bit, way beyond the "X"s I do eventually see the 50 chars in preview mode. But for some reason CR puts down 40 "X"s for a field of length 50. And then I have to just play around with the width until I can see the 50 chars on the report. Am I doing something wrong or is there a setting that needs to be adjusted? I guess I am hoping to see the number of "X"s be equal to the length of the text string.
I did learn about "can grow". When I connect to Excel CR puts down 40 "X"s and I have to fudge with the width until I see the full 50 chars.
With the GUI interface is the developer thinking more in terms of inches vs. number of characters? Like I said I am a dinosaur and I struggle with detail.

Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#

Hi,
I am new to the forums and posted a question which belonged to the .net - SAP Crystal reports group.
Can someone help me with my problem? following is the thread that I have started.
Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?
Thank you in advance.

Looking at the original thread, you are connecting to the text file via the DAO database engine:
"I added the text file as follow, new connection -> Access/Excell (DAO) -> select the file and the database type as text"
Thus I would use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database. See Kbase [1218178 - Error: "Logon failed" when connecting to Access database in .NET application|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313338333133373338%7D.do] for more information. If that does not work, you may want to consider connecting via ODBC or feeding the data from the text file to and ADO .NET dataset and pointing the report at the dataset.

Problem while importing a Crystal Report in SAP Business One

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem while importing a Crystal Report in SAP Business One, it displaying an error "No matching records found 'Queries' (OUQR) (ODBC -2028) [Message 131-183]" , and there is no use of this table OUQR in the Query.
Kindly let me know the solution.
Regards
Rahul Singh

Hi Rhaul,
i don't exactly know why this is a problem, but if your not on latest (881 p10) then upgrade and try again.
Or as a workaround,
try saveing from CR to SAP with the CR add-on. That usualy works better then the import.

Which version of crystal reports can link to Windev 14 and SQL server 2008 applications

I am developing an application with windev 14 and sql server 2008, i would like to know which version of crystal report can i use?

Hi GS,
Move to .NET SDK forum.
I don't know how CR for Visual Studio will integrate into WinDev but to get the installer for VS 2010/2012/2013 go to this page:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
It's the runtime for CR 2011 or 2013 now.
As for SQL 2008 you need to install the Client tools and when creating reports use the SQLNCLI10.dll as the client DB driver for ODBC or OLE DB.

Crystal Reports XI - How to create a new field using a formula field

I'm quite new to CR, but have been learning quickly!
I would like to know how to automatically create a new record/field based on another field in that row...
I have a report showing the following data:
Run Code     Start KM    Stop KM    Status
H2                 100            150           Partial
H2                 150             155          Partial
H2                 155             160          Partial
S3                 120             150       Completed
The status is generated by comparing the 'Start KM' and 'Stop KM' against fields in another table called 'Start Odo' and 'Stop Odo'
In this example...
H2 has 'Start Odo' and 'Stop Odo' values of 90 to 160, therefore there is still 90-100 to check. The 'Start KM' and 'Stop KM' is equal to the 'start Odo' and 'stop Odo' for S3, therefore it shows completed.
My question is how do you create a formula field, which will add an entire row...displaying the values 90-100.
I've been trying to use a conditional check in the 'Start KM' column, that sees if status is equal to partial than if start km is greater than start odo (Which is the reference km) then display the value of start odo in the new row. I'm stuck at how to create a new row.
I want the final result to look like this...
Run Code     Start KM    Stop KM    Status
H2                  90              100         Partial
H2                 100             150          Partial
H2                 150             155          Partial
H2                 155             160          Partial
S3                 120             150       Completed
Any suggestions would be more than appreciated

Hi Adi
Looking at your examples it seems that you want to add a row to the existing recordset (rows fetched from the database).
If it is the case (even if based on a formula) then you can not do it within crystal. Crystal is designed to display data and ideally it should not generate the new data.
However, as per your requirement you can try to add this logic at database end. May be a command object within Crystal Reports can help you.
Let me know if you do not understand anything.

Exporting or Printing each page of a Crystal Report to a separate pdf file.

Is there a way to export or print each page of a Crystal report to a separate pdf file? If possible, I would look to use the family nunmber field in my report as the file name. This is not required, but would be helpful. Thanks

Hello,
Standalone CR Designer doesn't have the ability but CR Server or BOE does. Or if you have a .NET or Java you could write an app that would spit out one page at a time.

How can I edit the file name of the home page?

How can I edit the file name of the home page?
Gr Ammani

I have a similar issue with regards to the filename...
When I navigate to my website, it doesnt work unless I actually type the filename at the end of it. Example: type in "www.whitelion.com" (this is my real domain name) and it doesnt work. When I type in "www.whitelion.com/index.html" then it works.
This is obviously inconvenient because my clients will never know to add the filename to the end of the site.
Is there any setting or way to get the page to appear by just typing the original domain name without adding the extension?
Thanks,
Emelia
