Crystal Reports when connecting to SAP ERP gives Logon Failed error

Hello Friends,
We are trying to implement the SAP Best Practices Crystal Reports and Xcleisus Dashboards for ERP. We are using BI 4.0 SP2, Crystal Reports 2011 SP2 and SAP ECC 6.0 FP 5.
We have done all configurations at the SAP end and successfully adpated a couple of Crystal Reports and they work fine.
My client machine crashed and I had to reinstall my Windows and all Client Tools. After the installation, when I tried to adapt a few more reports, I face the below problem:
After opeing the Crystal Report, when trying to Set the DataSource location, I select Create New Connection and select SAP Infosets. The SAP logon popup comes and I select the ECC system and enter the logon credentials for SAP ECC, I get an error message saying
Logon Failed.
Details: some square boxes.
The error doesnt really make any sense. Unfortunately, I am not able to test this scenario in any other machine as I am the only developer here. I am almost sure this is because of some configuration set up in my client machine,
Can some please help?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I recommend looking at a couple of things:
1) Do you have the latest Crystal transports installed with ECC? SP 2 has new transports. Check this subdirectory
Crystal Reports 2011\DATA_UNITS\CrystalReports\Collaterals\Add-Ons\SAP\Transports\unicode_compatible\cofiles
Use STMS to see if transports are installed
2) Are you using 3.1 ? Do you have the Integration Kit installed on ECC and client side?

Crystal report when created using sybase oledb, gives no appender error

I have a .net 3.5 application which uses Sybase Oledb to export crystal report 2008 to some file format.
While calling the function ExportToDisk, the console shows error as:-
"log4plus:error no appenders could be found for logger <com.sybase.dataaccess.oledb.iunknown.queryinterface>.
log4plus:error please initialize the log4c plus system properly"
This is not any exception I think, because it does not get caught into Catch block when i tried.
What is the reason this message is shown?
The code is as follows:-
ReportDocument reportDocument = new ReportDocument();
reportDocument.Load(reportFileName);
                foreach (CrystalDecisions.Shared.IConnectionInfo reportConnectionInfo in reportDocument.DataSourceConnections)
                    reportConnectionInfo.SetConnection("10.253.59.214,5000", "OPS_UTUPG_Adp3", "ops_sa", "TstUsr#1");
//Function to set parameters of crystal report.
                SetParameters(reportDocument);
                string exportFile = @"C:\temp\ExportedReport.doc";
                reportDocument.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.WordForWindows, exportFile);

Hi,
Since your question relates to .Net with CR, you can repost it under ".NET Development - Crystal Reports" forum.

Hi Saurabh Lamba,
Go To Administration / System Initialisation / Authorisation / General Authorisation & Set Authorisation for user.
If you have to Set Authorisation for user allready then follow this steps.
1.Restore Database as Test Company.
2.Export Report From Live Company.
3.Import this Report in Test Company as different name.
4.Export Report from Test Company have you Imported as deifferent name.
5.Again Import this Report in Live company as different name
I don't know what's the logic behind it.

Connecting SAP Crystal Report with EHP6 FOR SAP ERP 6.0

Hello Everyone!
I have downloaded SAP Crystal Report demo 30 days and we have an IDES for "EHP6 FOR SAP ERP 6.0", how can I make some reports and train myself with crystal report?
I don't understand how to make the connection to our SAP DB, can you help me?
Thank you!
Denis

Ok solved.
- I assure where is the saplogon.ini (in my case: %appdata%\SAP\Common\saplogon.ini)
- I open the saplogon.ini with notepad and set the UTF format and than save it replacing the original one if it was not in UTF format
- I go to : control panel>system>advanced>environment variables>system variables and I create a new one with name "SAPLOGON_INI_FILE" and path "C:\Users\....\AppData\Roaming\SAP\Common\saplogon.ini";
- Open SAP Crystal Reports 2013 (in my case) > VIEW > Preferred Viewing Locale > (here I set the language of the SAP System I am going to log on with crystal report, in my case was in english so I set English)
- (within SAP Crystal Reports 2013) > FILE > Log On or Off Server... > Create New Connection > SAP Table, Cluster, or Function > (now it shows me all the different SAP Systems that are also in the SAP GUI Logon, choose one, set the client-username-password and then finish)
Thank you,

Table relations lost in Crystal Reports when connecting directly to SAP R/3

Currently, we are trying to create reports in CR2008 directly on SAP R/3 tables. We encounter the following problems:
- 1 it is quite difficult to find out which tables you need
- 2 if you import the tables into CR you have to define the relations between the tables again
This takes too much time and is way too complex.
So the question is: should I define infosets and load these into CR? what is the general "working method"/procedure to deal with these issues?

Hi,
in case you not familiar with the tables from your ERP system I would recommend using an InfoSet or ABAP Functions as a source.

Crystal report logon Failed Error

Dear All
We have installed BOBJ Edge 3.1 Server at Windows Server.
We insalled Crystal Report 2008 at one of our Laptop. (Client).
When we tried to create a sample report,
we selected a existing universe from the BOBJ Server. When we selected it ask me for the server connection details. It connected and showed me the existing unverses.
I selected say eFashion - and picked some fields and Click OK.
Then it givs logon failed error.
Can some one explian me where i am missing
REgards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
If the Universe is based off an ODBC connection, then the same ODBC connection (with the same name) needs to be present on the client machine too.
So, like Don suggested, the client machine would need the same DB client too.
Open the Universe in the Universe Designer. Go to File > Parameters > Edit. This is where you see all the connection information of the Universe.

How to connect Crystal Report 2008 server with SAP BI/BW server

Hi ,
I have downloaded the 60 Days trial version of "Crystal Report 2008 Server' from sap site to my machine. Now i would like to connect this Crystal server with SAP BI and want to use the data of BI Bex queries and Infoproviders.
Can you please guide me how to connect them?
Aslo how can i get the free trial version of Intergration kit ..here please provide me the entire full path of site(to download the Integration Kit).....
Any inputs would be appreciated!!
Regards,
Naween

Hi Michelle,
Older versions of CR would allow you to run CR from a network share point but you still had to have a license for each user. Current versions of CR do not allow you to do this any more, possibly using a Citrix or Terminal Server would allow this but you still need a license for each user. Older versions had a Network install option.
And as suggested exporting to PDF or some other format is fine for end users viewing your output. They are not using CR but Adobe Reader or Word etc. to view the reports, they just can't use the Designer to view the reports.
Hope this is clear now?
Thank you
Don

SAP Crystal Report 2013 - Connection error with Universe

Hi,
I've trying to connect Crystal Report 2013 with Universe but I'm getting below error. Please can someone help how can I resolve this error.

.Unx Universes are Not supported by the legacy CR Designers (including CR 2013).
For that you have the new CR for Enterprise.
Does a WebI report against the same Universe work fine?
Do other universes (.unv only) work fine from CR 2013?

Integrate the Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 with SAP R/3

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to integrate Crystal Reports with the SAP R/3 . I'm new with this kind of integration and need help because I need to create a report based on the R/3 data.
I have read some posts from this forum especially on the integration kits - SAP forum but still don't have any idea on how to do it?
I already installed the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 and also Crystal Reports 2008 SP1. I also download the Integration Kits -SAP installer from the SAP Marketplace but when I tried to installed it, I get stuck because it need information for BW publisher.
As for your information, we don't use any BW server because we only use R/3.
Can anyone help me where to start on this integration?
Thanks,
-Syahida-

Hi Stratos,
You're right regarding the transport files. My basis team able to transport that file but when I try again to connect from Crystal Report to R/3, it come out with other error like " Connect to SAP gateway failed" and " partner 202.171.46.161 :3300 not reached"
What I did were :
a) Click on blank report
b) Create New Connection
c) SAP Tables, Cluster
Did I do any wrong here because the error cameout after I did all the step above ? When I look out on the error, it seems like it need to use port 3300. Is there any specific port required for the integration? This is because if the integration through SAPGui, it should used port 3200 and if go direct using SAPRouter, it will use port 3299.
Really need your expertise here or any document that I can refer because the standard document for integration kit for SAP did not mention anything about the port.
Thanks and Regards,
-Syahida-

Crystal Report Database connection problem in CMC

Dear All,
We are using Business Objects XI 3.1, Crystal Report 2008 SP1 for report development. Crystal reports are generated using SAP BW Query.
Where in, once you have published Crystal report to Enterprise server and open the same using Infoview it gives error saying "database logon failed, check user name password"
Did checked the database config tab in CMC there was no password and "Prompt user name password" option was enabled as well. when we type the password at the password text box, it is not accepting the same to store at the text box insted keep enpty always.
Please let know what is the issue and guide me to over come the same.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Murugesh

Hi,
Is the account that runs the services of BOE on your OS able to ping the DB server. It may also lie in the fact that you have to do the correct setup steps for the SAP Integration Kit. Have you installed and configured this between your BW and BOE environment?
Hope this helps...

Crystal Reports transport files for SAP APO / SCM

Hi there,
Problem: we want to use Crystal Reports on top of SAP APO / SCM and have some difficulties getting the definitions of BW / OLAP servers right and don't know which transports to import on the SAP to report with Crystal.
System is a SAP SCM system with APO module. There is a cube in this module (because there is some internal BW system) and I can see the cube in Crystal Reports. When I want to report from this cube I get an error:
"/CRYSTAL/MDX_GET_STREAM_INFO" not found.
This means some transport files were not imported and some functions are missing.
The following transports are missing:
====quote from transports_EN.txt included in transports for Crystal Reports=====
The following files must be used on an SAP BW system:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
Content Administration transport (K900579.r21 and R900579.r21)
Personalization transport (K900580.r21 and R900580.r21)
MDX Query Connectivity transport (K900581.r21 and R900581.r21)
ODS Connectivity transport (K900582.r21 and R900582.r21)
===========================================================
My SAP BASIS expert refuses to import these transports in SAP SCM, because he thinks it is not an SAP BW system as listed in the above transports_EN.txt file. Just trying is not an option because transports cannot be removed once imported...
In my opinion these transports have to be imported to clearly access the cube and will work on SAP SCM even if it's not a 'dedicated' SAP BW environment. In other words, these transports should be imported and will work on SAP OLAP servers like SAP BW, SAP SCM, SAP SRM (APO) or SAP SEM.
Does anyone of you have some more experience on reporting from SAP SCM / APO cubes and if I can import these transports without getting some nasty errors, because its not an SAP BW system?
Kind regards!
Edited by: J. van de Mheen on Mar 3, 2009 4:21 PM

Thanks for your reply, but this is not helping me much.
Let me explain more.
In the transport_EN.txt file we see this:
If your SAP system is running on a 6.20 *BASIS system* or later, you must use the files listed below:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
* Open SQL Connectivity transport (K900574.r21 and R900574.r21)
* Info Set Connectivity transport (K900575.r21 and R900575.r21)
* Row-level Security Definition transport (K900576.r21 and R900576.r21)
* Cluster Definition transport (K900585.r21 and R900585.r21)
* Authentication Helpers transport (K900578.r21 and R900578.r21)
The following files must be used on an *SAP BW system*:
(These files are Unicode enabled.)
* Content Administration transport (K900579.r21 and R900579.r21)
* Personalization transport (K900580.r21 and R900580.r21)
* MDX Query Connectivity transport (K900581.r21 and R900581.r21)
* ODS Connectivity transport (K900582.r21 and R900582.r21)
So I have to import 5 transports in SAP BASIS system and 4 transports in SAP BW system to make full use of the integration kit.
SAP SCM / APO is basically a BASIS system, so the BASIS expert says only those 5 transport have to be installed.
But SAP SCM / APO is also having some reporting capabilities and stores data in OLAP cubes (Infocubes).
In Crystal I can see these cubes when using SAP BW MDX connection.
To make the error go away, I must have some function modules used in transport 'MDX Query Connectivity transport. But the BASIS expert doesn't want to import this transport, because it is listed as a transport for a SAP BW system and he says SAP SCM / APO is NOT a SAP BW system (it's a BASIS system).
And now I have to get some proof that this transport has to be imported in the SAP SCM / APO BASIS system before he installs it...

How to create a Crystal Report to connect to Oracle

Hi,
When I create a Crystal report to connect to SQL Server, I create a stored procedure to get all data I need and connect to it from Crystal Report.(In the stored procedure, I created temp tables, used cusor etc to run data.) But now I need to use a Oracle database. I heard I need to create a package and put this stored procedure in this package. Questions:
1. if I need to create a package, how can I call the stored procedure from it?
2. Can I create temp table in this procedure too? I need to create some temp tables to join together to get complex data.
3. if I want the return data from stored procedure, do I still "select ... from ..." or there is another other ways?
I am so desperated. Please help. I know this are very silly questions. But please.

Hi Jenny,
We are also using Crystal Reports for our Oracle Database, we normally just select the tables we want to use or create our own SQL query.
However, if you really want to use Oracle stored-procedure (which performs faster than a SQL query because the stored procedure is compiled in advance), you can look at this document:
http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/scr_oracle_stored_procedures.pdf
Hope this will answer your questions.
