V8 Report Data

I have this exact same problem. I'm trying to add a table to the
quote form. I've successfully added missing fields from tables that
were already existing in the report but I can't seem to get Vantage
to add a missing table. I've been playing/fighting with this for
two days now. Has anyone successfully added a new table to an
existing crystal report in 8.0?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi all i would like to add an additional table to one of my crystal
reports using the data contained in the output data from vantage (XML
file)utililising ADO.net. Does anybody know how to tell vantage to
send out information from another table in the xml output?

Thanks

Brendan,
The overall report setup is a lot of back and forth.
Basically, you need to go to the report definition in V8 and add the tables
cotaining the data you want to output from. Then go run the report in
Vantage. Then you have to open Crystal Developer, and look in the user
folder under mfgsysdata\reports to locate the newly created XML file. Then,
link in the new datasource(s) and add them to the report.

Thanks Carey,

I have done all of that however i must have done something wrong, In
the xml schema portion of the file the tables i added are defined
however the tables do not appear below in the data section, not even
empty shells. This leads me to assume that even though i added the
tables in the report data maintenance vantage is not actually
outputing the data from those tables.

Are you saying that they are not there if you manually inspect the XML?
Did you add a style and not have it applied to the printed report, or did
you just modify the original?
Remember that once you make the change in the report definition, you need to
run the report to create the output file with the new xml data.

Then, open the crystal reports developer and the rpt to modify.

Choose the Database menu -> Set Datasource Location.
In bottom half of the screen, click on + sign next to Create New Connection.
Click + sign next to ADO.NET.
Connection to XML file screen, choose the button ... to the right.
Browse to your Epicor\Mfgsysdata\Reports\Username(who printed the PO in
above steps)
Find the latest ***.XML with the right created/modified date on it (the file
generated by the above steps)
This XML file should now have in it the fields added in Report Data
Definitions.
Select this particular XML file to bring it into the File Path: field.
Make sure both ReportDataSet options are highlighted and choose the Update
button on the right. Do the same thing with each ReportDataSet in the top
window.
Click again on Database menu, choose Verify Database. Database is up to date
message.
Click Close and Save.
Those fields should now be available in the Field Explorer to add to the
Crystal form.


If you have more questions, contact me offline and maybe I can be of more
step-by-step assistance.
