I have created a Report using Crystal Report(Visual Studio 2005 and .NET Framework 2.0). In the Report Header section I have added a TextBox control to display header for the report. But when I execute the application the Text in the Report Header section is not displayed.
What should I do to view the text entered in the report header section?
Thanks in advance!
1) Are you sure you're running the most up to date copy of the report in the application?
The default behavior for the report header and textbox is that they are visible unless specified otherwise.
2) If the report header is being suppressed, it will appear as a darker shade than normally visible sections. If the report header looks to be suppressed, you need to check the Section Expert for the Suppress checkbox associated with the report header section (it can be set conditionally - kill the button next to the Suppress checkbox to see if there's any code. Generally the button text is red if there is any conditional logic).
3) If the report header is visible with no interference, check the suppression logic for the texbox - right click on the textbox, click properties. Same checklist as for the report header.

In Maximo, using the BIRT ide to develop/modify reports, there is a section to allow the developer to add and modify parameters for the report. These parameters are usually entered by the user at runtime in a dialog. In the ide there are fields for 'prompt text' which appears next to the parameter, but this prompt text does not show up in Maximo. Is there a way to get this to show up in Maximo at runtime, instead of just in the ide at development time? Maximo 7.6.1.0 is being used.
From what you describe, I suspect you haven't generated a request page for your report. Select your desired report from the Report Administration app and use the button name "Generate Request page" to the bottom right of the table in the List tab of said app.
This should fix your problem.

I have a problem with BIRT. I created a report with the relative Master Page, and I am trying to export it in PDF format.
While I am able to see the Master Page header and footer when I look at the report preview with the web viewer, I am not able to see the header in the PDF export of my report (but I see the footer).
In the header properties the Hide element checkbox is unchecked.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
It's a bit hard without the XML, but you can check this:
First I would check the header height in the MasterPage properties. Does is really fit what you are showing in the header? If not sure, replace header by a simple text element and try again.... The web preview tends to get to just scale to fit, while the PDF has a more strict interpretation of set sizes.
or
There are ways to manipulate the properties on 'runtime'. You could check your XML for scripts with code like this:
reportContext.getOutputFormat() == "pdf"
Or parts of it. Perhaps there is clue.
We have upgraded from cognos bi 8.4 to 10.1.
Reports are ran directly view links we provide straight to the prompt page, when the report is ran Cognos Viewer opens and report is displayed in pdf...however the users have an option on the toolbar on top right side to "open with report studio", how do i disable/hide this option??
It is beside the options to view report as html and excel etc.
I can see how to remove the view report at html by editing the system.xml file... but i cannot see how to remove this option for opening in report studio.
Any help would be good!
IBM has an article about this. Skip to the 'Using URL Commands' section.
In your link to the report, add '&cv.toolbar=false' to remove the toolbar that contains the Report Studio link. You can also add '&cv.header=false' to remove the Cognos View title bar.
If removing the toolbar is an issue (you need other functions), then you can remove options using system.xml
This includes options beginning with RV_ that will remove tools from the Report Viewer. However the 'Open in Report Studio' is not an option.
Your best bet in this case is to:
Remove the entire Toolbar ( RV_TOOLBAR )
use the option to add back in the required elements (XML output, saveas, etc).
With the toolbar removed, this may require some tweaking to achieve a desirable web page layout.
You can revoke an access to Report Studio for users.
Go to Cognos Administration -> Security -> Capabilities and set up access to RS there
I have a created a drill down birt report (i.e. a summary report and then a detail report). In my jsp I am using the birt reports tag library to show the reports in a report viewer. In these tags I've set showTitle="false". In the summary report this options works and the title does not show.
But when I click on my drill down link, the detail report shows a title of "Birt Report Viewer" appears. I guess that is a default title and there is a property or parameter in the hyperlink specification that I need to set which I am missing in order to hide that default title.
Can anyone help me with this please.
thanks
Thanks for your top Sundar. After reading it I tried to pass through __showtitle=false in the report parameter screen and it worked. The title no longer displays after hitting the drill through link.
Before this I was unaware of the __notation. I guess that notation is reserved for special birt paramters.
I have been requested to make a Crystal Reports report using Visual Studio 2010, and the very last page of the report is what should contain some summary data. It is to contain nothing else, just some totals and maybe a chart or two.
How can I add a page to my report that displays that?
Use the report footer section. If desired, insert a page break before the section starts to ensure that it begins on a separate page.
