Im using apex 22.2 And with it comes a new feature, the search page, with its search configurations attached, I am implementing this into a project and having trouble using the link function as I would like, the desired result is that after searching for something that comes up in the search configuration it grabs the primary key in this case 'project_ID' and it inputs it into the 'proyect_Id' field in my target page which takes you to the correct page instead of the generic template page with no data. I understand how to do this in any other type of link but with search configurations I can't find any items that bring up what I just searched/selected from the search If anyone knows the way to do this or a workaround that helps my case it'd be much appreciated!
Ive tried browsing the items that i can set as value, using various &PRIMARY_KEY AND &PROJECT_ID type values and setting the value into an item but none of them have worked. i also cant find much info in this
Using &PROJECT_ID. with a dot at the end as the Value in the Link dialog should work to select the selected project.
I have a query which is part of several queries in a tab.
I want to modify each of the queries by adding exclusions.
But when I copied the first query and put it in a new tab for testing, the table was underlined in red, and when you hovered over the text, it said 'Undefined table.'
Does anyone know why this would happen when the query is moved to a new tab?
I hadn't made any changes, yet!
The query looks like this:
SELECT
CONCAT ('DX COST',null) as "R List",
TRIM(T$SKU) as "SKU",
T$PDDP as "Price"
FROM TRITON.DDIITM001145
WHERE T$GSIZ NOT in ('LED','ODS');
The part TRITON.DDIITM001145 part of the query was underlined in red, when I copied the query and moved it into a new tab.
I've never seen that happen before?
Also, I'm not sure how to put the whole query in code, on here? I used the {} / code sample button to paste what you can see, but it didn't include the FROM statement?
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thank you!
In your new query tab, are you using the same database? Because our parser checks the data dictionary to see if it can find a view, table, or synonym called DDIITM001145
If we can't find it, you get the squiggly 'warning.'
This is ONLY a warning. It won't prevent you from running the query. It's just a heads-up that it might not work before you trying running it.
If you look at the Log panel, you can see where we query the database looking for your table.
please I need a help in an issue where I want the pull data function not to run when a specific field has an answer
the image describes exactly what I have
for example in the image above , no need to pull data when the field "Mohafaza" already have an answer , it is pulling data and overwrite my edits if I save the form as draft and re-open it
thank you
Modify the code in your calculation column for row Mohafaza from:
${Mohafazacheck}
to:
if(${Mohafaza}='', ${Mohafazacheck}, ${Mohafaza})
Every time you re-open the form, it will only replace Mohafaza if the question doesn't have an answer already.
I've made the mistake of using the 'Calculate and Replace Column' feature to replace the wrong column, and realized after the fact. The column I replaced corresponds to last names and is important. I would like to retrieve this column but maintain my other 15 or so data transformations. Ideally, I would like to remove this transformation, but I've come up empty so far. Here's what I've tried:
I tried adding the 'last name' column again from the same external source, using >Insert >Columns... I also tried renaming this column to avoid the data transformation. Unfortunately, this resulted in an entirely empty column, so it did not successfully match to the table or was affected by the transformation..
I checked the source information, and found exactly the 3-4 lines that I wish were not there. I thought it might be possible to edit this but haven't found a way. This seems like it would be the easiest.
Another idea I had was I could replace the data table with the same source, and repeat all of the transformations from the replace data table dialogue (excluding the bad one). This is my next plan of attack, but I figured I would come on here to see if there's an easier way first.
Thanks in advance!
Good News for YOU!!! #jeremyVollen.
It is possible to 'edit' your transformation per Tibco article 44098.
Resolution: If there are more then one transformations on a data table and you need to edit any of those transformation, follow the steps below:
Go To Edit >> Data Table Properties.
Select the desired data table inside which the transformation has been added and click on Refresh Data > With Prompt.
A new window will pop up which will allow you to make the desired changes in each of the transformations.
unfortunately it is NOT possible to reverse data table transformations.
it IS possible to undo the transformations with Edit>>Undo or CTRL+Z, but that's as far as it goes.
my strategy for dealing with this is (in accordance with your #3) to visit Edit>>Data Table Properties, select the table I'm interested in, select Source Information, then copy the contents of the textarea and paste it into notepad. then, I'll File>>Replace Data Table and start over from the beginning while keeping the notepad open so I don't miss any steps.
I realize it's not ideal, but there is unfortunately not another way.
I am trying to remove all references to a table from a Crystal XI report. Crystal is telling me that a column from that table is currently being used, because there is a little green check mark over the field in the field viewer. Also, if I try to remove the entire table, I get a warning. The warning is almost useless though because it doesn't tell me where the field is used. Now, back when programmers were real programmers, and mice were things cats chased, I could just grep a directory or file and find all references to a variable I was interested in. But how do I do this in Crystal? I have already tried exporting the report to a Report Definition, which helped find some instances of the troublesome field. Unfortunately, that format does not include all formulas, just some. Please tell me I don't have to buy a third party app (or write my own COM thingy) just to do this seemingly simple thing.
EDIT to add details about tangential point:
In case anyone is wondering, I am not crazy - I have duplicated the issue where a formula's definition does not show up in the exported Report Definition. I created a new blank report, created one formula named stealth that returns 1234. I then used that formula in the Section Expert for the details section, in the "suppress" formula, setting it to {#stealth} == 0. the use of the formula shows up, but not the definition. So when my unwanted column was used in the formula, I was not be able to find it! Here's what the rpt def looks like (after deleting some blank lines):
Crystal Report Professional v11.0 (32-bit) - Report Definition

If all else fails ...
File -> Export -> Export Report, then choose the Report Definition (TXT) option.
That will give you a plain-text representation of every element of the report. You can grep or CTRL-F or (insert search tool of your choice) through that. "Find in Formulas" usually works, but I've had to go the export route a couple of times, for no apparent reason.
Edit: Of course, if I'd bothered to completely read your post, I'd see that you've already done this.
Very curious.
If you right click on the field in Field Explorer and select Find in Formulas, it should bring up a dialog listing all of the places it is being used in formulas. On the left hand side of the dialog is a tree of all the possible places it could be, including oddball places like record selector and page formatting functions. Unfortunately, it does not seem to list running total fields.
EDIT: Oops, all the places it exists is listed at the bottom of the dialog; the tree view is the entire "DOM" of the report.
I know this is an old post, but...
Not knocking the Find in Formulas, it's been saving me today, but i was having trouble finding the last instance of the field. Even after all of the formulas and the droppings on the report were taken care of, I still had one lone use hiding somewhere.
I found it hiding as a Subreport Link. Right click on the Subreport -> "Change Subreport Links..." and there was the culprit. Dropping in this post because I figured someone else might have this problem too.
Fields can also sometimes be hiding within "Record Sort Expert"
Responding to an old post, but ran into a similar issue. I had a group based on the formula I wanted to delete that had a specified order. When I changed the grouping to a different field, the specified order remained. When I removed the specified order, my formula could be deleted.
This was tested on XIr2...
You change the tables datasource through the "set datasource location" dialog. Now, when it goes into the column mapping mode, uncheck match-type and pick a new column that would cause an error in a formula. (i.e if the column you're looking for is a string replace it with a datetime column). Go to the preview and you should get an error box like "A string is required here.", close that error and up pops the offending formula!
One more suggestion. After following a lot of the suggestions here, my report was still telling me the formula was in use. I had to close the report. When I opened it again, the check mark was gone and it let me delete it. This was on Crystal v 11.0.0.1282
In my case the Formula Field happened to be part of an old Running Total Field, which itself was not included in the report. Once I deleted this old Running Total Field I could delete the unused Formula Field.
Very late, but i use CR 2008 (12.3.0.601) and just today (6/16/2015) i am trying to document only the formulae of my report. I knew about exporting the Report Definition, and Finding a Formula in all Formulae. But there are about 50 Formulae. I discovered that the exported Report Definition didn't document all of my Formulae, but I didn't bother to uncover the logic behind that; instead, i plopped all Formulae into a section, then exported the Report Definition. Voila. Of course, i still need to cull all the unnecessary definition elements. But at least i have all Formulae.
So with all the great selections.. I still had one instance hiding from me. I found out where it was by creating a clone of the data table and renaming\deleting the field.
I then used the "Set Database Location" as suggested above to point to my new table. It did error out when it could not find that field but still didn't tell me where it really was (it just said report field).
I did NOT map it and clicked continue which deleted the field from the report. I then mapped it back to the real table and I was good.
In my case, there was a Chart, and the field was being used as one of the "on Change" fields.
Although an old post, this functional gap still exists within Crystal Reports itself. We have a fully functional 14 day trial of our third party software that uses the latest Crystal.net API to search for plain text within a library of Crystal RPT files in one fell swoop. Also searches the data saved within reports, and text within labels ... as well as datasource behind all your reports ( stored procedures, views, and table data ) with support for SQL Server, SQL Azure, MySQL, Oracle, Amazon RDS, DB2 and Access.
More info and trial downloads at http://www.finditez.com
Note, you will need to download and install the compatible SAP Crystal.net runtime connector for searching your RPT file library.
