    Syntax for Optional 'ALL' Parameter in Oracle SQL

    I am trying to pass an Optional 'ALL' Parameter to Oracle in the SQL statement below... USER.STATUS can be either 0 or 1 in the Source-Data (Inactive or Active). However, the :P_STATUS Parameter can be either 0, 1 or 2 (ALL). I tried an IF/THEN/ELSE statement in the SQL below - but it doesn't...

    Multiple-Groups with "Underlay Following Sections"

    Think this is just a limit of CR-2008, but want to Confirm... Trying to produce a Table-Style report where the GroupHeader 1 contains the Summary level of a Project - and there can be multiple sections of GroupHeader 2 and 3 that contain the Details of the Sub-Projects and Deadlines. In order...

    Opening CR2008 exported XML in Excel 2003

    Once again having an issue with exporting a "Highly-Formatted" Crystal Reports 2008 file to EXCEL format. Not sure what I hate more the EXCEL export routines from Crystal, or the customers who love the PDF version of the export - and want it to be "exactly" the same in EXCEL format. I have...

    Slow performance Crystal 2008 against Oracle 10g Stored Procedure

    Crystal 2008 against an Oracle 10g Stored Procedure using Crystal "Oracle Native" connection.. The report runs MUCH slower when running against the Stored Procedure - vs a RPT that goes against a TABLE or VIEW. It is also MUCH slower than running the Stored Procedure via TOAD, etc with same...

    Release notes are here - http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2011/en/xi4_cr2011_release_notes_en.pdf This CR-2011 is really nothing more than a service pack. Most people will stay on CR-2008 for a while. What have they been doing all this time...? All of the development effort...

    Trouble running Crystal Report from Access on Enterprise

    If you are using an ODBC connection to ACCESS make sure that it has the same configuration on the Crystal desktop, and on the server. Also, remember that ACCESS doesn't normally allow multi-thread connections to the database... Senior Business Intelligence Consultant Toronto, Canada...

    CR 11.5 and Dot Net 3.0 ?

    Can you point me to a SAP-BOBJ link that clearly states that "There is no version of XI that will integrate with Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.0"...? Thanks! Senior Business Intelligence Consultant Toronto, Canada SeagateInfo 7 -> Crystal Enterprise -> BOE-XI (R2) / (R3.1) | Crystal ( 7 ->...

    NUMBER formatting with more than 10-decimals

    If we convert it to a string then it is no good for anyone who exports the RPT to CSV or EXCEL as it is not shown as a NUMBER. There's lots of Science and Financial applications that use more than 10 digits of decimals. Kind of surprised that this is the Crystal limit. Senior Business...

    NUMBER formatting with more than 10-decimals

    Crystal Reports XI or 2008 The NUMBER formatting options for decimals supports a MAXIMUM of Ten (10) decimals. 1.0000000000 We have database fields that have up to Fifteen (15) decimals that can be used. 1.000000000000000 Is there any way to support that increased level of decimal-detail in...

    Crystal Reports - Intermmitent failures in BOXI SP4

    You mentioned ORACLE in your posting. What version of the Oracle driver do you have installed on the SERVER that is running SP4 and FAILING...? Sometimes the versions of Oracle and BO that "play nice" together are very-specific. (eg. patching to the most recent Oracle driver might not work with...

    Anybody doing the 2008 exams out there?

    In 12+ years of Crystal consulting, I can count the number of times I have been asked for ACE, BOCP certification on one-hand. If it is requested / required more in the Asia-Pacific market, then I would say take them...but if it is NOT being asked for, it's probably not worth getting. Senior...

    Why should I change from CR XI to CR 2008

    Also, keep in mind that CR-XI (R2) has a Tech Support End-of-Life of 30-Jun-2010. http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/webcontent/uuid/c018fb0e-8724-2b10-c489-9b8333e5e0f9 Therefore, you are less than a year away from having your customers on a non-patched / non-supported product. From...

    Does Crystal Reports 2008 allow for nested sub-reports?

    No, you are only allowed one-level of sub-reports in any Crystal Report version. Senior Business Intelligence Consultant Toronto, Canada SeagateInfo 7 -> Crystal Enterprise -> BOE-XI (R2) / (R3.1) | Crystal ( 7 -> 2008) design | WebI design | Best practices for Java / .Net / Web Services

    Crystal Reports Server R1 to R2 upgrade

    An active support/maintenance agreement includes the right to upgrade to the current product. However, upgrading to XI (R2) at this point would be a bad idea - since it is only supported to July 2010. Your client would be better to move directly to BOE-XI (Release 3.1) so that they are on the...

    Show Page Numbers on a Multi-Page Report Header

    Turkbear : I have re-posted to the OTHER TOPICS forum. This issue isn't really about parameters. It would be the same if we had multi-page cross-tab(s) or chart(s) in the REPORT HEADER. If a REPORT HEADER can run over multiple pages, how do we show the page number on each page of the REPORT...
