Hi,

    We are creating crystal reports against a Oracle database. The reports may contain regular tables as well as command tables. While designing the reports we target at a development Oracle database. However once productized these reports need to run against Oracle database at the customer locations. The database schema (tables, views etc) does not change at all. But I need to modify the connection parameters at run time

I need to modify

JDBC URL

Driver Name

User Name

Password.

I tried numerous things including the one that comes with standard examples but in vain.

I'm using then new Eclipse 2.0 SDK.

I tried to set connection Infos, set Connections, replace connections etc. But nothing works.

I can generate report only against the database which was used during report design.

Please help me how to solve this. Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Bala

Hello to all users of Crystal Reports for Java.

I would like to raise awareness about an issue with compatibility between generated PDF files produced by Crystal Reports for Java and HP Printers. 

We have been using the feature HP calls "Direct PDF" in conjunction with our server hosted reports.  The workflow of this process has been quite nice.  Parameters are passed into a JSP page to specify the report, all of the applicable values for the parameters to run the report, and a value indicating where on the network the HP printer is located.  The JSP page exports a PDF of the report to the server's temporary storage, logs in anonymously to the printer via FTP, sends the PDF file to the printer, and the report comes out on paper, without the user having to do much more than click a button.

Recently, HP has been updating firmware on various printers that breaks the compatibility with the PDF file format produced by Crystal Reports for Java.  The files will open, view and print correctly from every PC / Mac based piece of software I can find that opens PDF files, but when being sent via FTP to the HP printers with the latest firmware, the output will be incorrect.

Attached is a sample of the incorrect output.

I have spent enough time with HP to help them recreate the problem in their lab, but I have not received a commitment from HP to fix the problem yet.  Many PDF files not generated by Crystal Reports for Java will print OK.  However, based on the fact that Acrobat on PC and Mac, Preview on Mac, the iPhone, iPad, etc. will open and display the files correctly leads me to believe that it is not a Crystal Reports for Java issue.

The main reason I wanted to post this information is to advise any other users who use HP "Direct PDF" - DO NOT update your printer firmware.  HP does not allow downgrading of firmware.

Thank you.

I am using Crystal Reports for Eclipse. In which I have a requirement to add Stored Procedure to the report, so in short.. when the report is called it executes the stored procedure and loads the report based on the parameters.

From the Data Source Explorer I can add tables / Views .. but I am not able to add a stored procedure (I use crystal reports with visual studio and could be able to add the stored procedure).. in this below picture I am trying to add the procudure name APS_RESULTSET but there is no Crystal Reports option when I right click on the stored procedure. (is there any crystal reports eclipse patch is required to add this stored procedure?)

Since I could not added the stored procedure and desgin the report in java.. I used visual studio and designed the report..! and I copied the same report in to my java project and try to change the data source but could not change the datasource as the stored procedure is not listing in the available objects please see below figure..!

So I am wondering of any of you have come across to this kind of situation and had a solution.

Thanks,

I just upgraded my webapps to use CR4E SP1. Every time I view a report, I get the following error. What am I missing?

Hi,

We've been asked to evaluate the Java version support for our crystal report engine.

We are using eclipse crystal report Java engine with Crystal report Viewer 2013 with JDK1.7_55.

But recently it's been found that this version of java is venerable and we've been asked to update our JDK version to 1.7 update 99 or JDK 1.8.

My question is, does Crystal report Java engine support  these JDK versions?

Version details :

Eclipse Version: 3.6.0

Crystal Report Engine : 2013 ( ?)

Crystal Viewer:  2013

Regards,

Sagar K.

I wonder if anyone out there could enlighten me re the following weirdness. I'm pretty new to JSP and even newer to Crystal Reports so it's likely a newbie mistake. 

I have a report (an .rpt file) which contains a chart (all good so far). In Eclipse, I can right click the chart file and use a wizard to generate a jsp file, either a version using jsp tags or using java code snippets. I want the latter, so that I can have a bit more control over the thing.

In the jsp tags version, charts show. In the code snippets version, charts don't show. Everything else is working fine, the correct data is shown etc.

My code looks like this:

Hi friends,

What is the different between SAP BO 3.2 & 4.0 & 4.2 versions with examples.

Reagrds

I am using the CrystalReportViewer to display reports from within a J2EE application.  We create the reports external to the development environment using Crystal Reports 11. 

All seems to work well except for a problem in the way that run-time parameters are displayed in the viewer panel.  The problem is that the parameter order that we define in the report, and which is displayed as expected when the report is run in Crystal Reports itself, is not reflected on the viewer. 

For example, our paramaters for a given report may be in this order:

From Date

To Date

Minimum Value

But when the report is executed through the viewer on a jsp page, we may see those same three parameters prompted like this:

To Date

Minimum Value

From Date

This is just an example of course, but in a complex report, with many associatted parameters, this somewhat random reordering makes the parameter list very difficult to comprehend.

Can anyone offer a method by which we can keep the display order consistent?

Best regards,

Chuck Doherty

Hi,

Is there a way to embedd PDF/word documents dynamically into the Crystal Reports. I do understand we can do that for Images using 'Graphic Lcoation' option but that feature wont work with word docs and Pdf's.

Please let me know if there is any 3rd party utility tool that makes it happen or Can it be coded using any codes like VB/C#/Java etc.

I have posted this question in Crystal reports as well. But I want to know if it is programatically possible using Java SDK or not.

Thanks

I would like to apply Crystal Reports 2008 SP5.

I know SP4 is located in following.

Could you please tell me where SP5 is?

Hi everyone

We have a trouble while exporting Crystal Report with Russian or Lithuanian characters to pdf on web. Some of Lithuanian characters are exported as question marks u201C?u201D. The problem is only if  the web project is running on Linux server. On Windows export and printing works fine.

We have tried both WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.19 and Sun GlassFish v2.1 installed on Ubuntu 9.04.

For the testing purpose we have downloaded u201CAll-In-Oneu201D Eclipse installation (u201CEclipse Ganymede 3.4.1 with Crystal Reports for Eclipseu201D) from businessobjects.com (Crystal Reports for Eclipse version is 2.0.2.r678).

We have done the simplest Crystal Reports Web Project and created a new report with some Lithuanian characters (the report doesn't use any external data source). Then using u201CCrystal Reports->Create Report Viewer JSP...u201D wizard we created standard JSP page with Java code snippets to render report. Then we exported this web project as EAR and run it both on Linux and Windows servers. On Windows server export to pdf works fine, but on Linux not. The same problem is with Russian characters.

Could anybody help, how to set charset or encoding used while printing and exporting report to pdf?

Thanks in advance

I scheduled few reports(Batch Scheduling - with Schedule Now option via BOE SDK) .They are always showing as pending in the instance manager of CMC. Next run time keeps increasing 10 minutes forward - But both job server queues are empty. Each job server can handle 10 concurrent jobs. I put maxChildRequest / proc type in job server cmd line - but they did not help.

I chose a different report and it seemed to succeed. Seems like the moment a job is scheduled- it gets next run time in Jan 1979 and when its able to push successfully to job server it moves from the InstanceManager screen. But when its not able to schedule to job server (batch scheduling) it gets a next run time 10 minutes ahead...and keeps moving ahead?

Env:

BOE XI 3.0

BOE RAS SDK

JM

Hi,

I'm having problems generating a report from JSP on a Glassfish server (Oracle Linux). Crystal Reports complains "Error finding JNDI name" in my JSP application.

I'm creating the report (.rpt) with Crystal Reports 14 and then I use the .rpt-file in "Eclipse with Crystal Reports" to create the JSP application.

When creating the report I use XML (ADO) as the datasource, but in the application I use Java resultset as the datasource:

reportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().setDataSource(resultSet);

I think the report was saved with data before, and now I changed in the options to not save data with the report. I feel Crystal Reports .rpt "remember" it had the XML as datasource before.

I've successfully created a whole new report from the exact same XML and same SQL query in the application, so the error should not be a mismatch between the datasources in my opinion.

I could of course redo the other "real" report from scratch but it would require a huge amount of time.

If somebody have some ideas of what I could try next to get the old report to work, I'm happy to hear them!

CA Forum: JAVA

Hi Friends,

I have a web application which uses Crystal to generate reports with Oracle as the database. The Crystal exports report in PDF format and writes this report into a temporary file on Server. It runs perfectly in development environment. But in Production where data in database reaches large volume like 100 million, I get following error:

com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: An error occured while exporting the report---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed

Please suggest clue to find the sollution. Is it possible that reason some thing other than large amount of data?

Thank you. Best Regards, Deepak

Hello to all users of Crystal Reports for Java.

I would like to raise awareness about an issue with compatibility between generated PDF files produced by Crystal Reports for Java and HP Printers. 

We have been using the feature HP calls "Direct PDF" in conjunction with our server hosted reports.  The workflow of this process has been quite nice.  Parameters are passed into a JSP page to specify the report, all of the applicable values for the parameters to run the report, and a value indicating where on the network the HP printer is located.  The JSP page exports a PDF of the report to the server's temporary storage, logs in anonymously to the printer via FTP, sends the PDF file to the printer, and the report comes out on paper, without the user having to do much more than click a button.

Recently, HP has been updating firmware on various printers that breaks the compatibility with the PDF file format produced by Crystal Reports for Java.  The files will open, view and print correctly from every PC / Mac based piece of software I can find that opens PDF files, but when being sent via FTP to the HP printers with the latest firmware, the output will be incorrect.

Attached is a sample of the incorrect output.

I have spent enough time with HP to help them recreate the problem in their lab, but I have not received a commitment from HP to fix the problem yet.  Many PDF files not generated by Crystal Reports for Java will print OK.  However, based on the fact that Acrobat on PC and Mac, Preview on Mac, the iPhone, iPad, etc. will open and display the files correctly leads me to believe that it is not a Crystal Reports for Java issue.

The main reason I wanted to post this information is to advise any other users who use HP "Direct PDF" - DO NOT update your printer firmware.  HP does not allow downgrading of firmware.

Thank you.

I am using the CrystalReportViewer to display reports from within a J2EE application.  We create the reports external to the development environment using Crystal Reports 11. 

All seems to work well except for a problem in the way that run-time parameters are displayed in the viewer panel.  The problem is that the parameter order that we define in the report, and which is displayed as expected when the report is run in Crystal Reports itself, is not reflected on the viewer. 

For example, our paramaters for a given report may be in this order:

From Date

To Date

Minimum Value

But when the report is executed through the viewer on a jsp page, we may see those same three parameters prompted like this:

To Date

Minimum Value

From Date

This is just an example of course, but in a complex report, with many associatted parameters, this somewhat random reordering makes the parameter list very difficult to comprehend.

Can anyone offer a method by which we can keep the display order consistent?

Best regards,

Hi everyone,

I have used Crystal Reports XI Release 2 to create a report which uses an odbc connection and I would like to simply print this report through java code.

My application is simply a java desktop application (no web services, no jsp) developed in Eclipse Galileo 3.5. I don't know which is really the best SDN to use.

I've tried JRC but I think JRC needs a jdbc connection, please correct me if I'm wrong. If JRC can work in this case could you please help me configure it as it seems everything else failed.. I did follow the instructions in configuring the CRConfig.xml but I get errors concerning stylesheets..

I've also tried loading a dll and then calling it's native methods. However I am not sure if I need to implement them (as I've read in so many forums) or if they can be simply be called after declaring them in a java class.

Also, I don't know if it complicates things or not but I have CR4E 2.0 also installed in eclipse, but the sdk is not added in the current project I'm working on. Hoping there are no conflicts between that and anything I've tried so far.

Can this SDK be used for printing a report that was created in Crystal Reports XI?

I'm currently examining this and the viewers sdk. Most  of the documentation, however refer to web services or jsp implementations so they are a bit confusing.

So recap!

Objective: Printing a crystal report (XI release 2) from a java desktop application (eclipse IDE) using an odbc connection

Question: Which JDK can be used and how can it be configured?

Thanks
