Quick Report (Crystal Report) is not displaying any data

Have you setup CR_WEB_INIT in this layout?

By default crystal quick reports connect to db using IFSSYS user. Can you login to crystal developer using IFSSYS user and check whether you see the same issue? 

If that is the case, you would need to setup security CR_WEB_INIT in your crystal layout. For this refer to our technical documentation section .../050_development/026_br_and_a/005_adhoc_reporting/080_dev_crep/005_cr_as_quickreport/020_cr_wb_init/default.htm

@Banu Liyanapathirana  So sorry, I was prompted to add this yesterday but failed to locate the CRYSTAL_WEB_UTIL_API in the data source connections tree.  Neither was the CR_WEB_INIT?

@Banu Liyanapathirana I have finally located it, please ignore me.

@Rusiru logging in as IFSSYS in Crystal Reports and running the report no data is displayed.

Yes then it should be due to missing the CR_WEB__INIT as Banu specified. Please add it correctly and test that should work.

@Rusiru CR_WEB_INIT had been added to the report when logged in as IFSAPP.   If I try creating a report when logged in as IFSSYS.  After adding ACCOUNT to Selected Tables I located CR_WEB_INIT and on trying to add the IFS_WEB_USER login was displayed which Set to Null checked.  I left this and clicked OK but on doing so the following message was displayed:

Failed to retrieve data from the database.

Details: ORA-20106: CrystalWebUtil.NOACCESS: You do not have privileges to use the “Crystal_Web_Util_API.Cr_Web_Init” operation for “Crystal Web Util”.

What user should be used when creating Crystal Reports?  And, is this the reason no data is being displayed even though CR_WEB_INIT was added to the report created logged in as IFSAPP?

You can use IFSAPP to create the layout. I mentioned IFSSYS only for testing.

Try developing the layout login as IFSAPP and the CR_WEB_INIT properly as described on the documentation. Let us know the outcome. I have previously seen no data found error when the view used has row based security and CR_WEB_INIT not properly set (so ot tries to get data as IFSSYS)

Try giving company and site access to the system default user accounts… 

That is not the correct way of handling security.

You can control the security by adding CR_WEB_INIT to the layout. Also, you have to set the ‘Specify if web database access security check is required’ system parameter to YES in order to enable the security check.

Hello everyone,

I encountered the exact same issue. My report was configured to use two database sources—SZKOL and SZKOL_1. I’m not sure why this happened; I was pretty sure I had designed it to use only SZKOL, but after exporting from APP 10, two sources appeared. After investigating, I discovered that switching the connection from SZKOL to SZKOL_1 resolved the problem. I still don't know who created SZKOL_1 or why it exists, but after switching CR_WEB_INIT from SZKOLto SZKOL_1, the report ran successfully.

Hope this helps,
