There's a working report but I wan't to change the visibility of certain rows based on a completely new DB select that should be executed when the report is created.
It would be ideal, if I could load the values of said select in an array or a list and than simply trigger certain row's visibility by comparing e.g. the Row Id with the values in the array.
Im used to solve a problem like this by creating a View that delivers all the essential information in each row and is used as the main data source but I was wondering if there's an elegant way within crystal reports to solve such a task.
I can think of three ways to include control data like this into the report:
One row of config data: If you can arrange it that your config data query returns one row of data, it can be just added to the data sources of the main report, without any links to tables and views already there.
Config resultset for matching: If you have to match main data results to config values row by row, e.g. by the Row Id you mentioned, add this config query to your report and link it to the main data source accordingly. (You are probably already doing this within your pre-created view on database side.)
Query config by subreport: Most flexible but also time consuming option is to add a subreport in report header, add the config data query and arrange config results into (shared) variables as needed in the subreport. Shared variable values can be used in main report then to control section visibility.
Yes, one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports UFLs (User Function Libraries) listed here provides such a function.

I have created a database in anylogic. Previously, I have related the information in the row to the columnn, i.e. there is a component in the row, and its properties are in the columns, and have put this in a function. Now I want to make the component the column and the properties, but don't know how to make it all relate. Below is the code I've written for the former:
site = selectFrom(parameters) .where(parameters.box_number.eq(boxNumber)) .where(parameters.site.eq(site)) .firstResult(parameters.site);
So box_number is the component and site is one of the properties. With this method, site is a column, but I want it to be a row.
You should use the SELECT WHERE SQL syntax, see https://help.anylogic.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.anylogic.help%2Fhtml%2Fconnectivity%2Fquerying.html&resultof=%22%73%65%6c%65%63%74%22%20%22%77%68%65%72%65%22%20
You can filter and load data in any format. Also, best use the database query wizard to help:
I have a table component on a subreport being used with an independent data source (dataset) thats hooked onto the table object. The table has two columns, the following issues arise upon debugging:
Not all descriptions are loaded from the query I used
The second column is not showing the data at all
Is there any properties that I am missing?
Thank you

Jasperstudio reports require all parameter names to be the same.
I am evaluating JasperReports and Jaspersoft Studio for using in the company I work for and I am trying to build a report that contains information from 2 different databases.
I have 2 data adapters configured.
I've my research and found out that the only way to do so is to have either a list, table or subreport in a main report, but I still can't make it work.
I took the subreport approach, I have two reports that work separately, the main one executes this query in the sample DB
select 1 from ORDERS limit 10
The subreport runs this one in a Vertica database I own:
select 1 from my_schema.my_table limit 10
Both of them, as said, run separately.
So I go to the mainreport and add a SubReport element to the ColumnHeader band, then the wizard opens:
In the step 1 I select the subreport from the project
Second step is connection. I have these options:
Same JDBC conection
Use another connection
Use an empty data source
Use a JRDatasourceExpression
Don't use any connection.
The first and third ones are not what I want.
I tried to set the second one, but I could not find a way to select the data adapter that I have configured.
The last one doesn't work ( I get a message saying that my_schema doesn't exists, so I think that it is still trying to access the MainReport database).
Is there anyway I can make a subreport run a query in a different database/datasource from the main report?
I can summarize what I did if anyone has the same issue:
I made a proof of concept (therefore I do not have the code anymore), but I created a JRDataSource class using this tutorial and there I manually access the database and returned the rows. Then I use this as the datasource of my subreport/table.
Not as nice as I wanted, but it is possible
I guess this iReport article is also applicable to reports designed in jaspersoft studio; you just need to define the subreport connection parameter with the given expression.
Perhaps, you can ask for help from two parameters which defined in the master report by yourself. Such as:
$P{MySubreport} with type net.sf.jasperreport.engine.JasperReport;
$P{MyDatasource} with type net.sf.jasperreport.engine.JRDataSource;
Associate these two parameters to your subreport element respectively in attributes 'Expression' and 'Data Source Expression';
Please write your DataSource class that implements interface JRDataSource.
Then, in your servlet class, put your real parameter values(JasperReport for your subreport .jasper file, and your DataSource object) into a parameters Map object, and call JasperFillManager.fillReport().
I am new to JasperReports. I need to design a report where certain columns and rows are dynamic. For this how I have to design the report and after design i want to integrate with my application for fetching data from action class and dto. How to map data for its?
I don't know how dynamic it will be, but it may help you: http://dynamicjasper.com/
It uses JasperReports to generate your report and it also allow you to create your report on the fly.
There are 2 options to map data with the columns. First option is u can pass ur data into data Source binding with the column name as key value pair. And the second option is u can pass the obj of your dto to data source directly in list form.
Use report.setDataSource() for setting the data. In first option make sure your type of the data matches with the column name.
I'm trying to work out how best to do reports with a chart then a table representing the same dataset. I need to overcome the positioning of the summary is at the bottom, so intend to use subreports and table-subreports. I am experimenting with two tables and a chart in one detail band.
If I set the datasourceexpression for to $P{REPORT_DATA_SOURCE} only the chart displays data (presumably the first subreport type item) and the tables are empty. Seems the data can be consumed only once?
If I use a Dataset to query the database it works however it executes the Query three times, once for each table/chart. That will be a massive overhead.
Obviously I am not doing this right but I cannot find any examples of using the same dataset more than once.
There is no simple answer so I have raised a feature request http://jasperforge.org/projects/jasperreports/tracker/view.php?id=5487
The suggested workarounds were:
implement a custom query executer to retrieve data from a cached datasource
generate a rewindable datasource based on the retrieved result set
Thanks to sanda aka shertage on the jasperforge forum for these suggestions.
An alternative solution, cloning the dataset:
http://code.google.com/p/cloning/
Cloner cloner=new Cloner();
ArrayList clone = cloner.deepClone(getSomeArrayList());
final JRDataSource ds = new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(AnotherBean);
HashMap parameters = new HashMap();
parameters.put("PARAM_A", new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(getSomeArrayList()));
parameters.put("PARAM_B", new JRBeanCollectionDataSource(clone));
