I was asked to investigate why some data is not being pulled up in a CrytalReport document. I am an absolute beginner ( as far as CrytalReports is concerned ) who just wanted to tinker with the code and see how the results change. Is this right way to fix the issue?
I was thinking that there will be some selection criteria (similar to an SQL Query ) and I can change the values there. After spending a couple of hours, I am out of patience. Can anyone please tell me or give me some pointers about them. I prefer not going through CrystalReports for beginners which teach from installing to setup and all. In fact, I really don't know what it takes to edit a CrystalReports file.
Another issue is that when I open the .rpt file, I get a dialog with the title Log On To Repository. Which repository is this? I have complete access to the SQL Server database, but the passwords did not work..(including that of sa )
I have VS(2010/2003), CR Developer 9.2.3.1699.
All suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thanks
Where to start...
The Log on to repository thingy is referring to the shared repository if BusinessObjects Enterprise. You seem to have the standalone version, so don't worry about that.
Press F1 for help. The help files are fairly good. Not great, but good.
Try Report->Selection Formulas-Record. This limits the individual records going into the report by that criteria. Likewise with Report->Selection Formulas->Group
Database->Verify Database (Self-explanatory)
Database->Database Expert and Database->Set Datasource Location are both very helpful in figuring out where the report gets it's data from.
This is a full-featured program. When I first saw it, it took me 3 months to get a decent working knowledge. You won't learn the details of it overnight.

I apologize if this has been answered in another post, I can't seem to find it if it has. Anyway, I have built a back end utility for a fellow streamer friend of mine but I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong when it comes to deploying it. This is a project that will be expanded on in the future, and possibly have more windows form projects. So here is what I am running into (With Pictures):
Here is my solution explorer with the projects:
When I go to build the deployment I've tried making all the projects "outputs" and got this error. Thinking it was there were too many Project Outputs I changed it to where the startup project would be the output and the others would be either source or content files. Still got these errors. Here is the File System Setup:
And when I go to run the build to create the deployment, here are the errors I receive:
I don't know/don't see what I am doing wrong here and would very much appreciate a point in the right direction. Thank you all so much in advance.
Check your updates. I remember there is an option to review or check the status of latest updates.
I found this article about that issue but it looks like a general error with updates or the installation
It is not too long but maybe it does not help. I hope it helps, good luck
I just upgraded to JIRA 5 and one of my plugins stopped working. It is ok because it is very old. But, I had a post function related to this plugin in many many workflows and delete it manually would drive me nuts. My question is where are post functions stored, in database or somewhere in xml file? Or any idea how to get rid of it?
Thanks

As XML text in the database. They can be modified with SQL commands, with a bit of fiddling. Do it on a staging instance first!
I've read a long page about XHProfLive, but I didn't manage to find where to download it. Where do I find it?
http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=62667953919
I am aware that XHProf comes with some UI, but I didn't find anything more advanced than that.
XHProf was open sourced, not XHProfLive.
But do look into XHGui: http://phpadvent.org/2010/profiling-with-xhgui-by-paul-reinheimer
It has been more than a year since I've asked the original question. There hasn't been much of an improvement to the original UI ever since. Therefore, I've undertaken the development of xhprof.io - GUI to analyze the profiling data collected using XHProf.
Furthermore, as #gazarsgo have already mentioned, there is Reinheimer's branch of the original XHProf UI.
My team just finished a huge project. We're going to present it to class in a week, and want to add some interesting stats.
Is there any way to find out how many times we've compiled the code over the last X days?
Thanks
Not that I'm aware of but if you go into Project>Properties>Refactoring History you can see a detail of all the refactoring you've done. That may make for some interesting stats.
I'm not aware of such functionality but you can install a metrics plugin such as this for other code metrics. Eclipse auto-compiles code so I'm not sure how useful such as statistic is.
I don't know of any way to get the number of times you compiled. But if you want some similar (and hopefully useful) statistics, go to .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources.history. You will see the change history there. Each time you make a change, Eclipse keeps track of the change by creating a file here. Sort the files by date, and you can easily get some statistics to display for your presentation.
Unsure if anyone on here could lend a hand, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Google wasn't too useful.
I have a report that I was working on all yesterday in Crystal Reports XI. I thought it was all good and working, so I closed the file (big mistake). Now, I try and open it again, and it's not letting me.
I get the following errors:
"An Ole object in this report could
not not be loaded. It has been
replaced with a blank object"
So then crystal tries to load my report with it's changes (I think), and then I get:
" This document could not
be opened. It does not appear to be a
Crystal Report document. This document
has the expected file extension
(.RPT), but it seems to be corrupted.
If this report used to work, try
opening it with a different version of
Crystal reports and if that still does
not work, please contact your
administrator".
I don't have another version of Crystal to check it with, and I'm pretty much the local admin for crystal, and I have no idea what to do.
Crystal wasn't letting me save over previous versions of this report yesterday, and now none of the 6+ versions I have are loading.
Can anyone suggest anything to help?
I got around this error by recreating the entire report.
I have no idea what the issue was, but after I spend 2 hours recreating it, it now works as intended.
I'm guessing that if anyone else receives the terminal Corruption error, they should just throw it away and start again.
You can try opening it in Visual Studio, which may or may not have the same version of Crystal. But it's a binary file, and if that gets munched, I'm not sure you have much recourse.
