Re: Search for null value in Crystal Report

2011-11-08 Thread Susan Palmer
Kelly,

We see this error when the ODBC connection gets hosed.  Really has nothing
to do with the IsNull statement.

We reconfigure the ODBC connection, sometimes have to refresh or recreate
the Common File for Crystal on the PC.  Then stand, turn 3 times to the
left, and pray.  At worst it has taken an uninstall of Remedy and
reinstall.  It's  unexplainable, no  pattern of who or when it happens to,
can be working fine and then not.  Generally once the error is received you
cannot run any reports initiated via an Active Link.  But they do run in
the actual Crystal development application which most do not have.

Hope that gives another direction to look in.

Susan

** No problem at all.



In the Report record is Override Query in Report set to No?
 Do you need to be able to specify the query from Remedy or will the
 query be controlled completely by Crystal?



We had some broken (web) reports in the last few months with the
 query embedded in the reports.  We had to change it from Yes to No
 before the reports would start working again.  I think when these
 reports were build way back in the 6.x days the Override Query in
 Reports option behaved a little differently and nobody noticed/reported
 they broke somewhere along the line from 6.x - 7.0 - 7.1 - 7.5.

Hello Jason, and thanks for working with me on this.  :^)



The report runs in CR Developer (version 11.0.0.1282), and is
 attached to the 'Report' form.  I have also confirmed that the same
 report without the IsNull() statement (replaced with 'Status' =
 Assigned for testing) works fine, so it's not the 'Report' entry or
 something else in the report file itself

Re: Search for null value in Crystal Report

2011-11-08 Thread Logan, Kelly
Thanks Susan,

When I modified the report, I no longer got the error, but I am still not 
getting any rows returned.  Is anyone else able to use IsNull or other SQL 
functions in their record selection forumula on ARS 7.1, with WUT 7.5?

Here is the current test query (from the Select Expert in Crystal Developer):
{HPD_Help_Desk.Assigned_Group} = PQ-Infrastructure Engineering and
IsNull({HPD_Help_Desk.Assignee})

Once again, note that other Crystal reports are fine.

Search for null value in Crystal Report

2011-11-04 Thread Logan, Kelly
Hopefully an easy question.  I would like to create a Crystal report to show 
currently unassigned tickets, but I am having trouble finding the right format 
to identify tickets where 'Assignee' is null.  Here is what I have tried so far:

IsNull() - This works in Crystal, but Remedy returns no entries.
=  - This causes an error in Crystal [Database Vendor Code: 300], which I 
can't find any details on.  Note that =  works fine in an IIf statement I 
have in another report.
=   - Finds no entries.

I have tried these with the formula editor null treatment set to 'exception' 
and 'default', with no change in results.

I also don't have the standard Remedy reports (most were removed) to see if 
there are any functioning examples of reports that use a check for a null 
value.  Several searches on BMC support also yielded no information on any way 
to search for a null value in a Crystal report.

Is there a functional way to search for a null value in a Crystal Report?

Hello Jason, and thanks for working with me on this.  :^)

The report runs in CR Developer (version 11.0.0.1282), and is attached to the 
'Report' form.  I have also confirmed that the same report without the IsNull() 
statement (replaced with 'Status' = Assigned for testing) works fine, so it's 
not the 'Report' entry or something else in the report file itself.

In the meantime, I'm using a workaround by setting the 'Base Qualification' for 
the report entry to:
'Assignee+' = $\NULL$

Re: Search for null value in Crystal Report

2011-11-04 Thread Jason Miller
No problem at all.

In the Report record is Override Query in Report set to No?  Do you need
to be able to specify the query from Remedy or will the query be controlled
completely by Crystal?

We had some broken (web) reports in the last few months with the query
embedded in the reports.  We had to change it from Yes to No before the
reports would start working again.  I think when these reports were build
way back in the 6.x days the Override Query in Reports option behaved a
little differently and nobody noticed/reported they broke somewhere along
the line from 6.x - 7.0 - 7.1 - 7.5.

 Hello Jason, and thanks for working with me on this.  :^)

 The report runs in CR Developer (version 11.0.0.1282), and is attached to
 the ‘Report’ form.  I have also confirmed that the same report without the
 IsNull() statement (replaced with ‘Status’ = “Assigned” for testing) works
 fine, so it’s not the ‘Report’ entry or something else in the report file
 itself.

 In the meantime, I’m using a workaround by setting the ‘Base

 'Assignee+' = $\NULL$

 Hopefully an easy question.  I would like to create a Crystal report to
 show currently unassigned tickets, but I am having trouble finding the
 right format to identify tickets where ‘Assignee’ is null.  Here is what I
 have tried so far:

  

 IsNull() – This works in Crystal, but Remedy returns no entries.

 = “” – This causes an error in Crystal [Database Vendor Code: 300], which
 I can’t find any details on.  Note that = “” works fine in an IIf statement
 I have in another report.

 = “ “ – Finds no entries.

  

 I have tried these with the formula editor null treatment set to
 ‘exception’ and ‘default’, with no change in results.

  

 I also don’t have the standard Remedy reports (most were removed) to see
 if there are any functioning

The 'Override Query in Report' field is set to No, but setting it to Yes 
overrides the query in the report so that none of the parameters in the report 
are used.  So I have the original parameters (other than the Assignee check) in 
the Crystal report and the 'Assignee' check in the report 'Base Qualification'.

** Hmmm.  I was thinking it may have already been set to Yes.
Does the error go away when setting it to Yes?

The 'Override Query in Report' field is set to No, but setting
it to Yes overrides the query in the report so that none of the
parameters in the report are used.  So I have the original parameters
(other than the Assignee check) in the Crystal report and the 'Assignee'
check in the report 'Base Qualification'.

** No problem at all.

 

In the Report record is Override Query in Report set to No?
Do you need to be able to specify the query from Remedy or will the
query be controlled completely by Crystal?

 

We had some broken (web) reports in the last few months with the
query embedded in the reports.  We had to change it from Yes to No
before the reports would start working again.  I think when these
reports were build way back in the 6.x days the Override Query in
Reports option behaved a little differently and nobody noticed/reported
they broke somewhere along the line from 6.x - 7.0 - 7.1 - 7.5.

Hello Jason, and thanks for working with me on this.  :^)

 

The report runs in CR Developer (version 11.0.0.1282), and is
attached to the 'Report' form.  I have also confirmed that the same
report without the IsNull() statement (replaced with 'Status' =
Assigned for testing) works fine, so it's not the 'Report' entry or
something else in the report file itself.

 

In the meantime, I'm using a workaround by setting the 'Base
Qualification' for the report entry to:

'Assignee+' = $\NULL$
