Connecting R/3 for Crystal reports

Hi,
I was reading Blogs posted by Ingo on business objects. I am asking very basic questoins. What is the software neeed to for crystal report? Where I can download? Is it a free version available? (I have downloaded the Crystal reports viewer 2008 from Crystalreports.com). I tried to connect existing R/3 system, but it was asking web serive URL and it is failed. Is it the right software to work on crystal reports? If not please let me know the place for software download. Please provide basic information to connect R/3 to Crystal reports and will help me to follow all blogs on business objects. Thanks for your help in advance.
Best regards

LOV issue for Crystal Report 4.0 ( Enterprise ) using the BICS connection

Hi Expert,
I am working for one our client which is using Crystal Report Enterprise 4.0 SP 2 i am facing the following problem with the LOV .
- I have created the crystal report on top of BEx query using the OLAP connection in CMC .
I have the variable at BEx query level which have list of value around 100 K and user want to search through that LOV in order to make his selection but as soon as i include that variable in my Query and run my CR my report crashes and i cannot run the report .
I gave the user the option of manual input of value to that variable it does not work as it uses the BICS connection and i read somewhere we cannot use the manual input in case of BICS connection for crystal report you have to select the value from the LOV .
My Question is is there any workaround if we can restrict our LOV to some extent and let the user to select and search from that any setting if we have at query designer level to restrict the LOV to burst in the report .
Any input will be appreciated .
Thanks,
Vibhav

SAP Integration Kit for Crystal Reports

Hello,
I read Ingo Hilgefort's blog on BusinessObjects and SAP Part 2.
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
Does the current trial version of crystal reports available from businessobjects.com have this integration kit embedded in it?
If not, where can i find it?
Regards,
Suraj

hi shenoy,
SAP Integration Kit
The SAP integration kit includes drivers to allow connectivity to both R3 and Business Warehouse (BW). In addition, it includes a BW toolbar for Crystal Reports, a specific version of InfoView with Role-based links, sample iViews for Enterprise Portal, and an SDK in Java, COM, or .NET.
Reporting off R3 Data
The kit includes two drivers to allow Crystal Reports to connect to the ABAP data dictionary via a remote function call or RFC.
The Open SQL driver allows the user to connect to SAP R3, displaying the field and the short text description of the tables and fields. The developer can then join the tables accordingly, using the database expert, and then select the relevant fields from which to report. This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.

This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.
Note
In Crystal Reports, you cannot check the SQL generated using the Show SQL Query option from the Database menu. You can check what Open SQL was generated by using SAP transactions.
The InfoSet driver allows the user to connect to an existing InfoSet, as defined by SAP transaction SQ02. Alternatively, you can use an existing ABAP query, as defined by SAP transaction SQ01. The benefit of this driver is that the user does not need to know where the data is stored or how to join the tables. Another advantage is that any prompts defined in the InfoSet become parameters in Crystal Reports.
Note
To test the InfoSet query, run the InfoSet using your SAP GUI and ensure that it is pulling the required data first before testing it in Crystal Reports.
Reporting off BW Data
When reporting off of BW data, the Business Objects' Integration Kit consists of three drivers that are used to pull data.
The BW Query driver enables the user to connect to a BW query. To enable selection of a query with this driver, Crystal Reports has its own toolbar, as shown in Figure 15.3, and the user needs to select the New Report icon from this toolbar. The user then selects the required BW query, and thus displays a listing of fields available in the query. The user can then create the report using any of those fields. Variables defined in the query automatically become Crystal Reports parameters. After the user has finished building the report, the user saves the report using the BW toolbar. This saves the report to BW, and if the user selects the option to do so, automatically publishes the report to Enterprise.
Figure 15.3. Crystal Reports after the SAP integration kit is loaded. Note the SAP menu and BW toolbar.
[View full size image]
Two new drivers have been added to the XI R2 version of the SAP Integration Kit.
The MDX query driver supports using Crystal Reports to report off either a SAP BW query or a BW Cube.
Furthermore, it adds additional functionality by providing support for
A structure in both the row and column of the BW query
Hierarchy node and hierarchy node variables
Free characteristics in a BW query
The Operational Data Store or ODS driver exposes the ODS tables, so that they look much like the tables of any relational database. However, because of the structure of the objects, it considers them to be like a database stored procedure.
Connecting to the ODS objects is not performed with the SAP toolbar described here, but rather by selecting the driver from the Data Explorer as shown in Chapter 1, "Creating and Designing Basic Reports." After the user has finished building the report, the report can be saved back to BW and published to Business Objects Enterprise by selecting the Automatically Publish to Enterprise check box, as shown in Figure 15.4.
Figure 15.4. The additional options after saving a Crystal Report to SAP BW.
Note
This publishing method requires some setup. Please refer to the Installation documentation for further details.
Note
Both the ODS and MDX drivers require SAP transports to be loaded on the SAP BW system. Please refer to the Installation CD in the Transports folder for further details.
Using OLAP or Web Intelligence to Report off BW Data
Included in the SAP Integration Kit are specific drivers to allow OLAP Intelligence and Web Intelligence to report off of SAP BW.
To connect to a BW cube or query using OLAP Intelligence, open the connection browser and select Add. Select SAP Business Information Warehouse and then proceed to fill in the relevant data, as shown in Figure 15.5.
Figure 15.5. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from OLAP Intelligence.
[View full size image]
After you are connected, select the query or cube and process to build the report, as described in Chapter 19, "Creating OLAP Intelligence Reports."
Web Intelligence is new to XI R2 and requires that a universe be built on a BW Cube or Query. However, to aid in this process, Designer builds the universe for you. To do this, select SAP from the list of connects and fill out the required information, as displayed in Figure 15.6.
Figure 15.6. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from Web Intelligence.
[View full size image]
Finish the remainder of the wizard and when you click OK, Designer generates the Universe for you. It may be necessary to move some of the objects around to suit your needs, but when you are finished, export to Business Objects Enterprise.
Note
Only the BW query driver does not require the query be released for external access. The Web Intelligence, OLAP Intelligence, and MDX drivers require the user to release the BW query. To release a query, select the query properties in the BW Query Designer and select the Extended Tab and then check Allow External Access to This Query.
Viewing the Reports
Your SAP reports can be viewed either via the SAP integration kit's InfoView or via SAP Enterprise Portal 6. The integration kit provides a number of sample iViews that can be imported by a portal administrator. These include
Folder iView The folders a user has access to are displayed, and from here a user can run her reports.
Alert iView Shows all the alerts that have been triggered by Crystal Reports. The user can then click on the report to view the report. The creation of alerts is defined in Chapter 11, "Using Record Selections and Alerts for Interactive Reporting."
Thumbnail iView This iView displays the Crystal Report as a thumbnail of the report. The user can then click on the thumbnail to run the report.
Note
These are sample iViews. The organization can create its own iViews via the provided SDK.
BusinessObjects InfoView for SAP is a unique version of InfoView designed for integration with SAP BW systems. This integration includes features such as the ability to log on to InfoView using your SAP username and password. Related to authentication is the ability to access your roles and the Crystal Reports saved to these roles. The roles are defined in Enterprise as folders. The user can also schedule reports in the different languages loaded into SAP BW. This creates an instance for each language.

DB2 support for Crystal Reports for Enterprise And Unx errors

Hi,
I have a requirement to create a report in CrystalReports for Enterprise 4 sourcing data from Oracle 11 and IBM DB2 V9 databases. My first approach is to create relational connections for both the databases in the BO Repository (using Universe designer) and use them directley in the CR for Enterprise. Here I was able to create the two connections but unable to use the DB2 connnection in the report. I get the below error:
"The Database DB2V9 is not supported".
Is DB2 is a supported database for Crystal reports for Enterprise ??
My second approach is to create a multisource universe using IDT. Here when I try to create the Datafoundation layer, I get to see the tables from the DB2 databasae but When I expand the Oracle connection, I get this error: "conversion from UTF8 to charset failed: encoding not loaded".
Im unable to create a multisource universe at all no matter what connections I use.
Here is some additional info:
SAP BI4.1 SP1
Windows 2008 R2 servers
Oracle 11g
IBM DB2 V9.7
Any suggestions please!
Thanks,
Ravinder

Hi,
First of all I would strongly advice you to only use IDT for your universe development. The old Universe Designer is a legacy tool and should not be used unless you are using products that doesn't support IDT universes.
The issue you are facing for your Oracle connection is likely caused by a missing path variable.
Add "C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64" to the PATH environment variables on the SAP Business Objects Enterprise server.
Restart the SIA
NOTE: Modify the path in case the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise is installed in different folder.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Josh

Install configuration for Crystal Reports Viewer 2011

Hi,
Is there any way to configure the defaults for Crystal Reports Viewer 2011 as part of the installation routine?
Specifically we would like to:
1. Switch off the attempt (on launch) to make an internet connection for community resources
2. Hide the side bar unless the user actually goes into the view menu to turn it on.
There's various reasons for this, but mostly it's that to get an internet connection the application has to go through the proxy server - we would rather that sort of activity was instigated by the end user on demand, not an application automatically, not least in this case because the license agreement window seems to be set to force itself to the 'front', which covers the proxy server prompt, so we can't write a script to provide automatic authentication without user intervention. It would be far better if there was a way to simply switch off this feature - and at the same time set the default 'view' settings to hide the side bar in the first place.

Hi,
Do you mean the Standalone Crystal Reports Viewer 2008: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/viewer/index.epx
If you do then you can perform a slient install by following the instructions from the release notes:

License for Crystal Report for Visual Studion 2005

Hi All,
I am developing reports for my application using crystal reports for VS 2005. I read on microsoft site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318102 ) that the free server software supports three active requests to the server. It further says that developer will need to purchase additional licenses to increase scalability. I think that our application would need the additional license. However, i was unable to find a link on business objects site were i can buy the additional license for crystal report for VS 2005. The link takes me to license for Crystal report 2008. It would be great if you can answer my following questions:
- what version of crystal reports do we need to purchase?
- do we need license for each implementation or do we need license for the developers only.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Abdul

Great questions! Let's get at em, one at a time:
How would you define a print job?
- A print job will essentially be consumed any time the print engine (crpe32.dll) needs to do work. So, processing one report = a print job. However, say you have one subreport, now the number of print jobs = 2. Now, say the subreport is in the details section and runs once per record. And you have 100 records. You will be running 1 + 100 print jobs. Paging to another page consumes a print job. Zooming consumes a print job, exporting and printing to a printer consumes a print job. So, depending on the report and the number of users, print jobs may be used up quite quickly. You can increase the print job limit by modifying the PrintJobLimit in the registry. For CR 2008, the reg entry is here:
HKLMsoftware usiness objectssuite 12.0
eport application serverinprocserver
(the above is used irrespective of the SDK (CR, RAS, BOE))
I am not using report viewer to render the report. I use 'ExportToDisk' method to save the report in word or pdf format. Does 'ExportToDisk' make one print job?
- see above. Again, if the report has a subreport, this will consume at least two print jobs.
How much time does a typical print job takes to complete?
- no way to tell in general terms. There are too many variables that will affect this. From how complex the report to database connections to version of runtime
What care shall I take to reduce the print job time?
- Best you can do is ensure that you are destroying the report object once you are done with it (report.close, report.dispose)
Will using Report Application Server (RAS) or Business Objects Enterprise increase the number of concurrent print jobs? If yes then by what amount?
- no it will not
To utilize Report Application Server (RAS) or Business Objects Enterprise, do I just need to use a specific SDK or is there some thing more to it?
- You do need to use the RAS assemblies for RAS, BOE assemblies for BOE. More information is below.
Sample RAS apps:
https://boc.sdn.sap.com/samples/84/1194
An article on RAS:

How to install SharePoint MOSS 2007 PIK for Crystal Report Server XI R2?

My configuration is :
Moss 2007 without any Crystal Report or BO component. on one box with Windows 2003 server
Cyrstal Report Server XI R2 on another box
I have downloaded the kit installation: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/webcontent/uuid/503988db-58c5-2b10-f79d-cb96700417f9 [original link is broken]
I used this one as they said:
BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit
Download BusinessObjects XI Release 2 SharePoint 2007 Portal Integration Kit - ZIP 5MB
I do not have BO Enterprise.
Thanks,

Answered my own question. Managed to upgrade to 5.0 following this process, but follow these instructions with care...
1. Stop all CMS services in Config Manager.
2. Go to Add/Remove programs and click "change" for Crystal Reports Server XI. Click on "Modify" then change the entry for MySQL4.1.13a to "Entire Feature will be unavailable" (from Enterprise -> Server Components -> Servers - > Central Management Server). This will remove the existing mySQL version and any data/license key information/customisation, so be wary.
3. Install the desired version of mySQL.
4. Use the MySql command line to create a new database - "create DATABASE BOE115;"
5. In the Central Config Manager, select the CMS and display its properties. Select the Dependencies tab and remove the old version of mySQL and add the new version. Click on the Config tab, then Select Datasource. Select mySQL driver, then complete the details for the newly created database. Once complete it will still produce an error, at which point you need to select the options to Re-create the Current Datasource.
6. Once the datasource is sucessfully recreated, restart the Crystal service in the Config Manager.
7. Open the Config tool, and add your license key. Then Re-Enable all the servers within the Servers page.
8. Any other customisation or preferences would need to be re-applied.
This worked for me, but obviously take care as your existing mySQL database will be completely removed during the process.

Stored Procedure for Crystal Reports

Hi All,
I developed this test stored procedure to see wheather we could a stored procedure for crystal reports. It compiled without any problem, but when I run it, it gives me error message. Here is the stored Procedure..
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE WOLD1SIM.TEST_PROCEDURE(
TEST_CURSOR IN OUT TEST_PACKAGE.TEST_TYPE,
TEST_PARAMETER IN TEST_TABLE.ID%TYPE)
AS
BEGIN
OPEN TEST_CURSOR FOR
SELECT *
FROM TEST_TABLE
WHERE TEST_TABLE.ID = TEST_PARAMETER;
END TEST_PROCEDURE;
And
This is the error message..
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 1:
PLS-00201: identifier 'TEST_PROC' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 2, column 1:

I have created the package sucessfully.
I was wondering If any one of you can advice me where I am making the mistake.
Thank you

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE WOLD1SIM.TEST_PROCEDURE(TEST_CURSOR IN OUT TEST_PACKAGE.TEST_TYPE,
TEST_PARAMETER IN TEST_TABLE.ID%TYPE)
...you have 2 parameters in your procedure WOLD1SIM.TEST_PROCEDURE(). you should also use two parameters when you execute the procedure.

JRC Deployment Guide for Crystal Reports 2008

I just downloaded a trial version of Crystal Reports 2008 & was testing out the integration of this component into our Java web based application.
I found the "Crystal Reports XI Release 2 - Java Reporting Component Deployment Guide" PDF file, but I was wondering if there was a more recent version of this guide for Crystal Reports 2008. Maybe I'm a bit confused regarding the versions but this guide currently references JARs in a folder under ...\3.5\java\lib. However, when I looked in the same section of Crystal 2008, I noticed it was \4.0\java\lib & the JARs are different.
Is there a new JRC Depolyment Guide for Crystal Reports 2008?...If not, is there any documentation I can use to map between the 3.5 libraries and the 4.0 libraries?
Thanks

Hi,
There is no separate JRC has been launched for the CR 2008.
But SAP has launched the Crystal Reports 4 Eclipse 2.0 in which CR 2008 has been integraqted with backword compatibility.

Our legacy ASP.NET application uses Crystal Report Basic (from Visual Studio 2008), and it can't download PrintControl.cab from address : http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/downloads/microsoft/vs_2008/printcontrol.cab
Is there any new address to download PrintControl.cab ?
I also experienced this problem last year (PrintControl for Crystal Report for Visual Studio 2008), but the new address of PrintControl.cab is not working now.
Please help.

Merge files or redist installer for Crystal Reports 2011

I cannot find packages for merge files or installer for the redistribution files for Crystal Reports 2011. I have found them only for older versions. In the download section there is somewhere a hint that they are at a different position but no information where.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you
Arne Ortlinghaus

Hi Don,
thank you. It is ok using the files you indicated me. But there are still some doubts.
What does happen on a machine where a designer 2011 (internal version 14) is installed and an application that uses the dlls for Visual Studio 2010 (internal version 13). Does this work without problems?
In a readme for the redistributables for Visual Studio 2010 I have found the following text which I cannot interprete:
If you have installed Crystal Reports 2011 or any of the SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products,
you may notice that their installation contains the same "Crystal Reports 2011" and "SAP
BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0" folders as you see in this folder. Please note that the
folder/files names may be the same but most files have a different version, and are not
compatible with the Crystal Reports 2011 or SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products.
Currently we want to upgrade our programs from Crystal Reports 9 to 2011 and we have many installations where for one machine the Crystal Reports Designer is needed together with our applications.

CrystalDecisions.Web.resources.dll for Crystal Report 2011

Hi,
I recently install Crystal Report 2011and I try to use localization for Crystal Report Viewer in a .NET web application.
I read several tutorials which say to use CrystalDecisions.Web.resources.dll. I don't find this dll for Crystal Report 2011.
Could you help me ?
Thanks in advance,
Fred.

Hi Fred,
I believe you are looking for Crystal Reports Viewer which was a separate download correct? Currently there is no download for CRV 2011. It's in the works and the link should be made available in a few weeks, no exact time yet.
Thank you

Failing to connect to Oracle from Crystal Reports

We have a client attempting to connect to 10g using crystal reports. They are getting ora-08001 as an error reported to them. Any ideas what could be causing this?

I don't know Crystal Reports and what it sends to and requests from the database, but that's the formal description of this error:
Error: ORA 8001
Text: maximum number of sequences per session exceeded
Cause: An operation requested a resource that was unavailable.
The maximum number of user sequences per session is specified by the
initialization parameter DC_SEQUENCES.
When this maximum is reached, no more requests are processed.
Action: Try the operation again in a few minutes.
If this error occurs often, shut down Oracle, increase the
DC_SEQUENCES parameter in the initialization parameter file, and
restart Oracle.

Are you able to run the report through the eclipse designer?
Thanks,
Neeraj
