I would like to access reports created in the latest version
of Crystal Reports (12) from within a Coldfusion 7 and or
Coldfusion 8 Web application. I tried using the cfreport tag, but
nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks!

Infinite loop creating new page due to column header overflow.
i am getting an error and some pages "Infinite loop creating new page due to column header overflow. " --
using report builder 9, i have a fairly simple report - that contains 4 subreports.
for some pages i get the error - it seems if there is more data than would fit on 1 page.
smaller pages work fine.
the subreports are all simple queries and dumps....
containing page header, column header, detail sections.
page header has just a text bar of the name of the section.
column header has the field names
detail section has the data - 1 row for each row in the recordset.
nothing i do seems to change getting "Infinite loop creating new page due to column header overflow. " on a page with more than 15-20 records returned.
any ideas would be appreciated.

Conflicts with CFReport tag and custom JasperReports feature within our application
My company's application was previously on ColdFusion 6.1 and
working fine. We built a reporting feature using JasperReports to
generate reports (which were created with iReport) which also
allowed the ability to export in PDF (iText) or Excel (Apache POI)
and included the use of Barcodes (IDAutomation). All of this was
done either in ColdFusion CFC/CFM files or with Java JAR/class
files.
We were able to upgrade our system to the latest ColdFusion 8. Everything is working fine and so far we don't have any problems. That is until we decided to use ColdFusion Report Builder and the CFReport tag. After pounding our heads against the wall we have figured out that we can use one or the other but not both. If we use our JasperReport feature, any CFReport that is run, gives an error. We have tried using a different application scope but that doesn't seem to do anything. If we instead generate a CFReport first, then our custom JasperReports code is unable to compile any new templates. However we have noticed in this scenario that it is still able to generate a report if the template is already compiled (.jasper file instead of a .jrxml).
After some research on the web I've come across Java Proxy (can even see a JavaProxy called in the ColdFusion error dump). I believe that since the classes have the same name (net.sf.jasperreports.engine.*) different JARs are being used and loaded depending which is ran first (our custom jasperreports or cfreports).
What I'm needing is some help hopefully figuring out a way to get them both to peacefully coexist. Or at the very least some insight as to what is happening in hope I can understand it and figure out a solution.
Our application uses the following JARs:
jasperreports-1.2.6.jar
poi-2.5.1-final-20040804.jar (ability to write out in Excel file format)
iText-1.3.5.jar (ability to write out in PDF file format)
barbecue-1.1.jar (barcode used in iReport but can't create valid 2D barcodes)
iReport-1.2.6.jar (has façade/facade class that allows iReport to generate barcodes using barbecue)
IDAutomation-PDF417-4.10.jar (new 2D barcode meant to replace barbecue)
IDAutomation-Linear-4.10.jar (new 1D barcode meant to replace barbecue)

Problem with timestamp in charts
Hi,
I have a problem with timestamp data in coldfusion charts.
I want to see two line charts in the same timeline (x axis) but when the chart is generated I can see two lines but not in the same timeline.
This is the code:
<cfquery name="daHistorico1" datasource="PostgreSQL30">
select nodeid,result_time, temp from sample_mts310
where result_time < '2005-11-16 8:15:19'::TIMESTAMP and result_time > '2005-11-16 07:40:19'::TIMESTAMP and nodeid=7
</cfquery>
<cfquery name="daHistorico2" datasource="PostgreSQL30">
select nodeid,result_time, temp from sample_mts310
where result_time < '2005-11-16 8:15:19'::TIMESTAMP and result_time > '2005-11-16 07:40:19'::TIMESTAMP and nodeid=8
</cfquery>
<cfchart
format="jpg">
<cfchartseries type="line"
itemcolumn="result_time"
valuecolumn="temp">
<cfloop query="daHistorico1">
<cfchartdata item="#daHistorico1.result_time#" value="#daHistorico1.temp#">
</cfloop>
</cfchartseries>
<cfchartseries type="line"

<cfloop query="daHistorico2">
<cfchartdata item="#daHistorico2.result_time#" value="#daHistorico2.temp#">
</cfloop>

</cfchart>
Thanks in advance.

Report builder formatting--flashpaper
Reports I build using coldfusion reportbuilder look great on

Is there really no "can grow" feature?
Does Report Builder have a "can grow" / "can shrink" feature
in either version 7 or 8 that we can't find?
We're issuing news releases as pdf files via report builder. The body of the report has one field - "content" - that may have one page worth of text, or it may have more. If the "content" field has two pages worth of text, the second page will not print if the field size is less than the length of one page! The 2nd page of the news release gets cut off because there is no "can grow" feature that we can find.
However, if we extend the field size to beyond the length of the page, thereby extending it to two pages, the second page automatically gets printed regardless of whether there is no text to print or not because there's no "can shrink" feature!
And CFDocument can't be used because it cannot render images through a firewall.
And so I ask again :-), does Report Builder have a can grow / can shrink feature in either version 7 or 8 or are we out of luck?
What I missing?
TIA, Andrew

Crystal Reports 10 and MX 7.0 Integration Problem
We have Windows 2003, MX 7.03, SQL 2000 and Crystal Reports
10 installed. When we run the Crystal report first time, it's okay.
The problem is when we try the second time, we will get the message
"Server Error The server encountered an internal error and was
unable to complete your request. Run closed connection." The only
way to get around this problem is to click on X to kill the browser
and try to run the report. Does anyone have the same problem and
know what caused this?

Report Looping

I am trying to loop over a query to provide all of the information retreived from a query in an excel format. All I am receiving back is the last record. I would appreciate any thoughts. Here is my code...

<cfloop query="PCR">
<cfreportparam name="CustomerNumber" value="#PCR.CustomerNumber#">

cfchart broken in CF 8
In CF 7, cfchart would not plot null values from queries.
Here is a sample from a CF 7 server showing the results with a
query using NULL values.
http://devmx.jibben.com/cfcharttest.cfm
Here is the same sample chart running on a CF 8 server:
http://dev8.jibben.com/cfcharttest.cfm
Notice how CF 8 generates values for the NULL data?
This is a major problem for me as I do not want to plot null values (CF 7 display is preferred). All of the data I'm working with, zero is a valid value. So, plotting the NULL as a zero is not a good solution. It is preferred to display that the exam was not taken rather and have it appear as though it was taken and the student received zero points.
Is there a work-around or solution to this problem?
I will post the code for this sample chart in the next message.
Thanks,
sj

Slow report generation
I have a situation that can produce a report a couple hundred
pages long. Is there a why to cache this? Or what is the best
strategy to optimize reports. I usually pass a query to the report
from a CFC. The query in this case is goining two tables and has a
sub report embedded. If anyone has any suggestions I would
appreciate it.

How do you get subreports to print one after the other when the height of each subreport varies? Each subreport appears on the page in an absolute position.

Create reports dynamically
