Q.
I get the
database logon prompt when I generate reports. How do I fix it? |
|
|
A.

This issue happens on some computers. The
registry keys for both Seagate Software (Crystal Report) and
Microsoft, which specify the path to the Microsoft Access
“System.mdw” file are not pointing to the same location.
System.mdw is the Access security file that contains user level
security information.
Please try the following:
Option 1:
1.
Click "Select Database" to select the sample database "printSaver_Sample.mdb"
that is located in the installation folder of Print Job
Report e.g. C:\Program
Files\Reporting Tool\Print Job Report.
2.
Click "Generate Report" and select a report from the dropdown
list. If the report is generated correctly, then select the real
database in the installation folder of
PrinterAdmin Print Job Manager (e.g.
C:\Program Files\PrinterAdmin Software\PrinterAdmin Print
Job Manager).
Option 2:
If
you have MS-Access 2007 installed on your computer, you can use
it to open the database file
e.g.
C:\Program Files\PrinterAdmin Software\PrinterAdmin Print
Job Manager\printsaver.mdb,
then in Print Job Report, click "Select Database" and
"Generate Report" to see if you can see the report.
Option 3:
1, Install Print Job Report on a different computer
2, Share the database folder from the computer where Print Job
Manager is installed (e.g.
C:\Program Files\PrinterAdmin Software\PrinterAdmin Print
Job Manager).
3.
Map the network share folder from the computer where Print Job
Report is installed
(e.g. \\Print Job Manager Computer Name \ Shared Database
Folder).
4, Click "Select Database" in Print Job Report
and connect to the shared database (e.g. \\Print Job Manager Computer Name \
Shared Database Folder \ printSaver.mdb). |

If you can't see the report,
please click "refresh" button on Print Job Report.

If the report is still blank, go to the installation folder
(e.g. C:\Program Files\Reporting
Tool\Print Job Report 4.0), right
click “Print Job Report.exe”, then click “Properties”, select
“Compatibility” tab, select “Run this program as an administrator”
in Privilege Level and click OK button to save. Then try again.

Q. How can I customize the
reports by myself? |
| |
|
A.
If you would like to customize the reports, you can use crystal
report tool at the link:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
to do it. All 100 report templates are located in C:\Program
Files\Reporting Tool\Print Job Report\report\*.rpt.
If you select "Access" as database in Print Job Manager
Preferences -> Print Jobs, only the #.rpt needs to be updated.
If you select "SQL server" as database, only the s#.rpt needs to
be updated.

For example: if you select "SQL Server" as database in Print Job
Manager Preferences -> Print Jobs and would like to change the
report "Printed Jobs / Cost Top 5 by User" to "Printed Jobs /
Cost Top 20 by User"
1. Backup
C:\Program Files\Reporting Tool\Print Job Report\report\s3.rpt
2. Open
C:\Program Files\Reporting Tool\Print Job Report\report\s3.rpt
using Crystal Report, then select "Group Sort Expert" and change
5 to 20.

3. Save the updated report.
4. In Print Job Report, select the report from the dropdown
list. |
