Andy Baldwin RE: Crystal Date format problem maccrystal (TechnicalUser)19 Jan 04 11:39The Macola uses their own Number to date function (macolanumbertodate). Try replacing the date function with NumbertoDate and see if the date format is reported correctly. www.appstratinc.com RE: Crystal Date format problem Snoopyza (IS/IT--Management)(OP)19 Jan 04 22:341. Based in Australia2. Macola Ver 7.0.1.2003. Crystal Ver CRW32 7.0.200.4 RE: Crystal Date format problem crystalreporting (Instructor)22 Jan 04 17:43Either replace the NumberToDate UFL (assuming that is what you are using) or replace it with a formula that performs the same function. You need to provide us with some more info - look at the Crystal report in the Crystal designer, and tell us what is in the formula that displays the date. Peter Shirley RE: Crystal Date format problem Snoopyza (IS/IT--Management)(OP)22 Jan 04 19:13Thank you for your input, I just received this from Macola:Support:This is a reported bug. The bug number is 01.841.438. The workaround for this right now would be to find the formula that uses the MACOLANumberToDate function and change it to the NumberToDate function under additional functions. RE: Crystal Date format problem MacolaHelp (Instructor)22 Jan 04 22:24If I remember correctly, you had to download the NumberToDate ufl from Crystal's website for version 7x since the macola distributed version has the macolaNumberToDate. I don't think it shipped with the product. I just checked the web & it is @ support.businessobjects.com, then use the advanced search for ufl & enter the version, etc. Then download the ufl.If you are using the ICR statement and want all users to have the same report instead of having one for each user, here is how I handle it:copy rpts\\ar\\arstmt.rpt or arstmtd.rpt to a new name: this preserves the default macola report. Make all design changes to the rpt. You must have ERS to modify page 1 w/the selection criteria & I haven't quite gotten my head around that one. After saving the changes you want, be sure to save a copy of it since future macola updates will overwrite the fixes, mods you created.kscheeler, crystalreporting, dgillz & maccrystal have provided valuable input here on some ICR functions & Crystal in general. I used to think that it was better to start w/a macola ICR & modify for my needs. As I do more reports & understand crystal better, I think I do better starting from scratch. However, something like statements or agings where you perform math on the fly seem more difficult, so I would probably fix the existing ICR. You may also want to visit the crystal forum(s) here at tektips to avoid the macola-specific ufls, especially since they seem to go away in version 9. RE: Crystal Date format problem dgillz (Instructor)22 Jan 04 23:10Macolahelp,Please clarify.....what goes away in version 9? The macola UFLs or UFLs in general? Software Sales, Training, Implementation and Support for Exact Macola, eSynergy, and Crystal Reportswww.trianglepartners.com RE: Crystal Date format problem MacolaHelp (Instructor)23 Jan 04 09:48see the thread: macola (crystal addt'l functions). Peter Shirley (Crystalreporting) seems to have a handle on this transition to v9 Cyrstal. I'd love to hear what his thoughts are about ufls in general. In fact, one of my clients is concerned about their investment in crystal reports since v9 seems to take everything away that we have come to count upon in crystal reports compiled as exe files. RE: Crystal Date format problem dgillz (Instructor)23 Jan 04 11:15UFLs work fine in 9, including the Macola UFL. In fact I have even tested a UFL in v10 of crystal and it works fine.On compiled reports, I wish they still offered this, but there is no need to have one, just get a crystal reports viewer. There are tons of them out there.You can also still place a crystal report in a VB project and run it as an .exe Software Sales, Training, Implementation and Support for Exact Macola, eSynergy, and Crystal Reportswww.trianglepartners.com RE: Crystal Date format problem crystalreporting (Instructor)26 Jan 04 15:42I can clarify this - UFL's are still supported in v9.0 and v10.0, but the function editor in conjunction with the repository allows you to duplicate the functionality of UFL's without the complexity, and the hassle. As far as compiled reports go, they are not supported in v9.0 or v10.0. In reality, I wont miss them - they were more trouble than they were worth. I'm not a big fan of third-party viewers, however there are numerous ones available (Hammerlaunch, Visual Cut etc.) if you decide that's the way to go. Exepect the same sort of problems with a third-party viewer as you got with compiled reports - the workstations must have access to the same components as the report did when it was designed - including UFL's.Web-enabling Crystal reports is simple and straighforward. It's seems like black-magic at first, but it is by far the cleanest way - especially as you are largely taking away the need to have any Crystal specific components on the workstation. Crystal Enterprise is too complex and expensive for most Macola users, but Crystal's RAS (Report Application Server) is a good, and simple alternative - it even interprets the RPT files for parameters and creates a web-viewable prompting page to capture them. Kind of a web version of the compiled reports feature. Another method is to code the ASP pages yourself. Again, sounds complex, but it's not - sample code is available on Crystal's website (e.g. aspxmps85.exe) and the only other component you need is IIS. Peter Shirley RE: Crystal Date format problem MacolaHelp (Instructor)26 Jan 04 19:03crystalreporting: But how much $$ are we talking about for this web enabling in v9? One of my clients bought enterprise for v8.5 to do web publishing & their minimum investment was a processor based license at 15k+. For them, it makes sense in how they use crystal and they truly do web publishing outside their organization. But most of my clients use cyrstal reports internally for business support decisions. Once the workstations have the crystal client installed, the compiled exe works great in 7 or 8.5. You can put them on pwe tabs, you can add to visual menu builder, put in a shared network folder, send to a desktop. At $500 for a single user or $1700 for a 5 user, it's pretty cost effective. Especially because most organizations have only a handful of people who can really understand and generate reports effectively. Are you suggesting that the ongoing workstation maintenance with web enabling saves in the long run? I can see it for a 200 user site. But for a 10 user site? Is the RAS more economically priced for smaller organizations that still want customized reporting for their businesses?And what about the event manager that is supposed to be able to fire off crystal report generation as events at certain times of day or night? Anybody tried it yet? I'm anxious to see if it will work. RE: Crystal Date format problem pticarl (Programmer)2 Feb 04 08:14We have been using Event Manager for the past 6 months now and I am fairly pleased with the product. There are some minor annoyances that I would like to see fixed in future releases, as well as some deficiencies in documentation and support, but for the most part it has been very effective for us.I believe that I saw a link for a dl'able demo version off of Vineyardsoft's site the other day. That might be a place for you to start. RE: Crystal Date format problem dgillz (Instructor)2 Feb 04 08:35If you want to schedule crystal reports, there is a much more cost effective way of doing this versus the Evant Manager. Check out www.milletsoftware.com. I have their product Visual CUT at a couple of clients and it is awesome. Only $225 too. Software Sales, Training, Implementation and Support for Exact Macola, eSynergy, and Crystal Reportswww.trianglepartners.com RE: Crystal Date format problem crystalreporting (Instructor)2 Feb 04 11:50Like I said in my original post - I'm not a big fan of third-party viewers, particularly for viewing or printing 'business critical' reports. RAS is a light version of Crystal Enterprise - again, Crystal Enterprise is simply overkill for most Macola users - both in complexity and cost. RAS is a much simpler, single processor solution for automatically web-enabling reports - it is extremely easy to configure with only a single screen of options. And yes, it is considerably cheaper than Crystal Enterprise. You basically tell RAS where the reports folder is, and that's it. In conjunction with IIS, RAS interprets the RPT files below the nominated folder - sub folders are shown as links, so you can logically group reports. If a report is clicked on, and it has parameters, these are displayed in a web format, complete with drop downs for dates and lists.
