My .NET application works fine when I use the CrystalReportViewer to view the generated reports and later export to pdf/excel/word.
However it throws me this runtime exception when I try to export the report programmatically to one of the formats as mentioned above.

The code basically tries to export the crystal report to a certain format

For ex:

rptLayout.SetDataSource(dataset);

rptLayout.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, "C:\\TEST.pdf");

Method not found: 'CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.PropertyBag CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.ISCRExportOptions.get_ExportOptionsEx()'.

A little bit of search on the web yielded me no proper response except to install latest CR Runtime.

My dev pc configuration

• IDE is Visual Studio 2010
• Programming language as C# .NET 4.0
• Version of SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio : 13.0.14.1720

Can anyone at SAP let me know what could be the possible reason for this issue

This issue needs to be fixed on priority in our application

Thanks

Any T-codes or Tables we find the inventory or stock of the months as per the purchasing group?

For creating a batch upload program we use BDC recording in SAP carried out via transaction code 'SHDB'. We can ask a Functional Consultant of the specific module to create a BDC recording for a given transaction along with the fields that are required for batch upload. Once a recording is created we can generate a macro by clicking the [] Program button to generate the macro code for the given recording in SHDB. We can also run the macro recording in different modes as it was created originally by clicking the Process[] button in SHDB. We will follow steps from when the BDC recording macro has been created and saved as a program,with an option of 'Transfer from Recording' radio button selected in the Field Contents

from the pop-up menu.

In our case,it will be a BDC recording for Tcode = ABAVN, which is used for directly retiring an Asset by Scrapping it,which is used in SAP FI module.

To have a look at the BDC recording macro code generated,refer to the code below:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Here is brief description of the elements of the BDC recording Macro Code used in the code above:

> All the fields called in the BDC recording start with the the following fields e.g:  'perform bdc_fieldusing 'RAIFP1-BLART'' followed by a value which could either be a constant or a data object etc. as could be seen from the code above.

> The ones with the text 'BDC_CURSOR' follow up with the name of the field where the cursor is to be placed on the screen.

e.g:

perform bdc_field using 'BDC_CURSOR'
'RAIFP2-SGTXT'.

> When a specific screen or tab is called on a screen,it is usually followed with a  Module Pool Name and Screen No. e.g:

perform bdc_dynpro      using 'SAPLAMDP' '0100'.
perform bdc_field      using 'BDC_OKCODE'
'=TAB02'.

Here BDC_OKCODE is the ok code or an identifier for identifying which UI element  in Dynpro screen was clicked followed by the identifier id. For those of you who have done dynpro programming know the system constant sy-ucomm holds this value at runtime.

> Finally the transaction code for which this macro was generated is called using 'BDC_TRANSACTION'. e.g:

perform bdc_transaction using 'ABAVN'.

________

With the BDC recording out of the way,we can now concentrate on how  to convert it for Call Transaction Mechanism. The  best way to map fields is to create a single structure in ABAP for holding all values that are to be passed for all fields in the Macro recording discussed before.

e.g:

DATA: BEGIN OF s_assetscrap,
        bukrs type ANLA-BUKRS,"Company Code
        ANLN1 type anla-anln1,"Asset No
        ANLN2 type ANLA-ANLN2,"Sub Asset No
        BLDAT type RAIFP1-BLDAT,"Document Date
        budat type RAIFP1-BUDAT,"Posting Date
        BZDAT type RAIFP1-BZDAT,"Asset Value Date
        SGTXT type RAIFP2-SGTXT,"Text

        monat type RAIFP2-MONAT,"Posting Period
        BLART type RAIFP1-BLART,"Document Type
        XBLNR type RAIFP1-XBLNR,"Reference
      END OF s_assetscrap.

We now need to add in each of the BDC recording code lines to an internal table that will eventually be passed as a parameter when using the 'Call Transaction' construct. It will be based on 5 parameters as is required when calling a bdc code in Call Transaction construct based on the standard structure named 'BDCDATA'. These fields are:

1. PROGRAM(Module Pool Name)
2. DYNPRO(Screen No for the Dynpro)
3. DYNBEGIN(BDC screen start)
4. FNAM(Field name on the Screen)
5. FVAL(Field value to be used)

Based on these fields,this is how we are going to convert it.

e.g:

"Original Code as provided in BDC recording macro

perform bdc_dynpro      using 'SAPLAMDP' '0100'.

"Code Converted for BDC recording called in Call Transaction construct

wa_bdcdata-program = 'SAPLAMDP'.

wa_bdcdata-dynpro = '0100'.

wa_bdcdata-dynbegin = 'X'.

wa_bdcdata-fnam = ''.

wa_bdcdata-fval = ''.

Compare the fields with the code above to get a better idea about value passed here.

Here is the complete code converted to the format as required for Call Transaction construct line by line.

_________[Each of the 19 Lines converted to Call Transaction Format based on BDCDATA structure]

> Add multiple records for this bdc recording in one go as well.

DATA:

     it_bdcdata type standard table of BDCDATA,

     wa_bdcdata like line of it_bdcdata.

"1

wa_bdcdata-program = 'SAPLAMDP'.

wa_bdcdata-dynpro = '0100'.

wa_bdcdata-dynbegin = 'X'.

wa_bdcdata-fnam = ''.

wa_bdcdata-fval = ''.

append wa_bdcdata it_bdcdata.

clear wa_bdcdata.

"...and so on. Only shortened code is shown here for illustrative purposes.

[Refer to the complete code in the attached text file named 'BDC_Recording_Code_Conversion_Code_Fragment.txt.zip'].

_________

The final element of transaction code  will be passed when using the final Call Transaction construct for uploading or posting .

dyn_begin = 'X' indicates that a screen is called at this point,therefore the module pool name and screen no is called here and for the rest field name and value pairs are passed in.

Here is how the final Call Transaction code will be called for posting this Asset Retirement via scrap:

DATA:

     it_msg type standard table of bdcmsgcoll."This will hold all Messages

  CALL TRANSACTION 'ABAVN' USING it_bdcdata

    MODE 'N'

    UPDATE 'S'

    MESSAGES INTO it_msg.

Here it_bdcdata is the BDC recording format converted for compatibility with BDC Recording.

     Mode   = N[For Running in the Background]

               [All Modes in BDC recording are supported like

                'E'(Errors),'A'(All Screens)]

     Update = S[Synchronous]

     it_msg = Holds all error messages and successful messages

For Logging,Internal table it_msg can be looped through for finding successful postings(msgtyp = 'S') and failed postings(msgtyp = 'F') of uploads via call transaction construct. e.g for successful messages:

Here the data object 'wa_msg_all' complete error message in one line, where as individual components are also store in one of the structures like wa_msg-msgid(Message Id number),wa_msg-msgnr(Message No),wa_msg-msgv1 to wa_msg-msgv4(contains error or successful messages with description).

Using this code mechanism through Call Transaction we can convert BDC recordings into portable executable code which can be embedded especially if you are working on a selective posting program using an interactive ALV report for selecting records and posting them.

Hola,

hasta hace 3 meses, solíamos tener el SAP BO en 2 servidores físicos (uno con la Base de Datos y otro con el servidor de SAP BO) con limitada RAM y Procesador, cada uno.

Ahora, tenemos ambos servidores como maquinas virtuales corriendo sobre vmware esxi 5.5.

En nuestro nuevo ambiente tenemos el 'poder' de agregar mucha RAM y Procesador! Así es que quisieramos unificar o cosolidar ambos servidores en 1 unica maquina virtual con mucha RAM y Procesador.

Nuestra versión de SAP Business One es la 9.1.17 corriendo sobre Windows 2008 R2 server.

Y nuestra Base de Datos es un MS SQL Server 2012 R2 que corre sobre un servidor Windows 2008 R2.

Nuestro técnico de Infrasestructura de TI dice que debería ser fácil realizar esta labor, y que solo bastaría con instalar el SQL Server 2012 R2 en el mismo servidor que hoy tiene instalado el servidor de SAP BO y luego importar las bases de datos ('Restore')

Para mi, esto suena demasiado simple, lo que me provoca algo de desconfianza, es por eso, que decidí preguntar aquí, quizás alguien me pueda sugerir algo que no estemos considerando.

Gracias a todos.

Hi ;

For CPD customer (One Time Customer) I am creating a Debit Memo..

I have no problem with FM and creation . They are all working well..

But I do not know how to  give the STCEG value given below to the function module so that it will appear  in VA03 partners (WE) . at VAT No area.

Thanks in advance.

Hi experts,

I am working in a project with SAP HANA and hot-cold data management where cold data are stored in Sybase IQ. Hana recognizes IQ tables through Smart Data Access.

1. I wrapped my virtual table "Z_DS_BUDGET_SDA" in a Calculation View "Z_DS_BUDGET_COLD"

2. I set the engine for the wrapper calculation to "SQL Engine"

3. I added the wrapper calculation to an existing calculation view to manage both hot and cold data together

The problem is the following: even without retrieving any data from cold table in IQ, the HANA Query Optimizer seems no longer working when I add the "Z_DS_BUDGET_COLD" wrapper calculation and the execution time of the main query goes from about 3 seconds to 1 minute and 40 seconds

We are currently using SAP HANA SP09

Based on what I found on SDN, I tried to run an "explain plan" for both cases with the following results:

- Before adding virtual table to the CV I have an optimized plan with 231 steps

- After adding the virtual table the plan contains 678 steps

I also tried to create statistics for the virtual table to help the index engine working properly but it doesn't seems to change the output

CREATE STATISTICS ON "ZSAP_HBI"."Z_DS_BUDGET_SDA" TYPE HISTOGRAM;

Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks

I have seen SAP ABAP support inline declaration after release ABAP 7.4. I have declare the inline statement inside the loop loop at it_data. data(lv_val) = 5. endloop. In another example i have declared the statement without inline declaration in side loop. data(ls_val) = 5. loop at it_data. lv_val = 5 . endloop. This is very simple example but in case of declaration of internal table inside loop verses outside inside. I don't know how the inline declaration internally work in ABAP 7.4 Which will give better performance ?

Hello all,

I have a fresh install of NW 7.40.8.0 and unfortunately the "Development Infrastructure" was not checked during the installation process. I have searched the forum as well as Google to find out how to install this, unfortunately many of the articles I have found are 5-10 years old. Not very helpful.

If someone could point me to the correct SCA files so I can use the Software Update Manager (SUM) to install I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello experts!

I am searching for a solution regarding the possibility to load 0GLACCOUNT and 0COSTELMNT Master Data into the Account dimension.

Actually we need 100% of the 0GL_ACCOUNT members and additionally the members of 0COSTELMNT of 4 CO_AREAs are necessary. So there are equal members within 0COSTELMNT but in different CO_AREAs (and not every account is in all of the 4 CO_AREAs). And additionally you will find some of the members of 0COSTELMNT in 0GL_ACCOUNT.

So we are loading the data of 0COSTELMNT to get the data delta between 0GL_ACCOUNT and 0COSTELMNT also into our ACCOUNT dimension via the transformation file / conversion file of the Data Manager.

To be able to use the hierarchies of 0COSTELMNT (which are also being loaded into BPC)

This is quite tricky as we would like to consolidate the members of 0COSTELMNT who are the same and regardsless the CO_AREA.

So e.g. reduce the records 0COSTELMNT 0070020000CO_AREA 0001 and 0COSTELMNT 0070020000CO_AREA 0002 to 0COSTELMNT 0070020000 and load this member into the ACCOUNT dimension if it is not existing there already (because of the 0GL_ACCOUNT load before).

My first approaches ended up in having duplicate member IDs as I couldn't consolidate. And probably I could do a few single transformations and load each CO_AREA in a single transformation and overwrite, overwrite and overwrite until all necessary members of 0COSTELMNT and 0GL_ACCOUNT are included. But this solution doesn't sounds very professional.

Does somebody has an experience in doing this and some kind of good or best practice?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

is it possible to change the length of a std SAP field on a std SAP Screen? without modification?

For example the below image shows the screen 300 of std SAP program SAPLIPW1. On this screen we have the serial number field which has underlying data element and domain GERNR.

Currently the serial number field is 18 chars long. Is it possible to dynamically change it to 30 chars long only for display purpose?

The reason for this change is:

1. We want the user to enter a external serial number on the input field and this external number can be  upto 30 char long.

2. We will then enhance the conversion exit tied to the domain GERNR to convert the entered 30 char long external serial number to an internal number of 18 char long.

So we simply want to change the length on the above screen and of course we are trying to achieve without modification.

Any suggestions?

I tried to use the LOOP at screen and change he field LENGTH but it wont make any difference. Any idea if it is possible at all?

Thanks

Hi Guys,

We have a requirement to fetch the clearing date and payment term fields in the report, for the invoice's posted. There is already an existing report based on RBKP and RSEG tables. But I dont see any clearing date fields in these tables. How to add these 2 values to the report ?

Appreciate if anyone please explain me how to fetch the clearing date and payment term fields for the invoice posted in RSEG/RBKP tables. I think only the incoming invoices will appear in RSEG/RBKP table, am I right ?

Can anyone please highlight how is the relation between these incoming invoice tables and cleared item table - BSAK and BSEG. I see all the required fields for the report exist in BSEG, but I am not sure on what conditions the values in RBKP appear in BSEG/BSAK tables. Appreciate if you provide me some insight into this issue.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Folks,

Hope someone can help me address the question below....

This client is moving to the Cloud with Employee Central and Talent Management, and will like to have payroll in SAP.

If this client already has SAP Finance implemented, and could potentially implement SAP Logistics processes in the future, what will be the advantages and disadvantages for opting for Employee Central Payroll vs SAP On-Premise Payroll ?

For example, how will the Integration with other SAP modules like CRM, FI, MM, Purchasing work if we opt to implement EC Payroll ? Will we have to send a minimaster of employees to the SAP ERP on premise FI system  ? In this case employees will be in 3 places (EC Payroll, EC and on SAP on premise).

How about licenses ? Will it be more cost effective to have EC Payroll as opposed to having SAP on premise payroll ?

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I am selecting from workflow table (swwwihead). In the field  wi_text, there is a detailed description of the workflow message.

Examples:

317837-0010: US10: Ready for Dchain 03

17627 : IN10 : System Error - DChain 10 Not Set

358094-045 : AU10 : System Error - DChain 10 Not Set

If you notice, we have material numbers of all different lengths. Does anyone know if SAP has any standard functionality (FM or BAPI or built in function) to pass a string and extract the material number in that string? Or know of a workflow table other than swwwihead that may have this information?

I am currently parsing the string first assuming it is a 10 digit material.

I then am using the BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_EXISTENCECHECK to see if the material exists in our system

If it doesn't I parse the string down 1 character and run the BAPI again, etc.

This is obviously not an ideal solution so was wondering if anyone had any better ideas.

I have searched around but haven't had any luck.

Thank you!
