Performance issue - Open a Crystal Report from SAP BW

Hi,
I have an general question on the performance of Crystal Reports: We are using Crystal Reports 2008 SP 2 in context with SAP BW 7.0. We don't have a BO XI. We use the BW as a central storage for our reports. Now we have the problem that the opening of some reports takes a long time. For expample one report needs ~13 secound an another > 5 minutes.
Where can be the problem? What happens in SAP BW when a report is called? And what can we do to make it faster?
Thanks for your informations!

Hi Ingo,
the value of MaxPickListSize is "c8".
Yesterday I have spent a lot of time to find the bottleneck. I have traced the SQL statements, which are performed from Crystal Reports / Integration Kit when I open a report. It might be the values for the parameters. That's our situation:
Crystal Reports
|
Query (restriced on Cube 1)
|
MultiProvider
- Cube 1
- Cube 2
- Cube 3
- DSO 1
The slow report is based on the BW Query and in the filter restricted to the Cube 1. If I open the report, all values for the parameters are read from all the InfoProviders under the MultiProvider (Cube 1, Cube 2 Cube 3 and DSO 1). The very big DSO 1, which is not used, increases the duration extremly. This may not be the desired behavior?! Is this a bug? I would expected that only the values are loaded from Cube 1.

Problem opening Crystal Report from SAP GUI through VPN

Hi Everyone,
I am facing an issue with opening the crystal report from SAP BW Role menu(SAP GUI). The issue is only with the BW Users who are connecting to the Client systems through VPN. All the settings are done perfectly in the Transaction /CRYSTAL/RPTADMIN and SICF for the CE_URL.
For those who are in the client network it works fine. Please see the URLs generated in both the cases,below.
From Client N/W
[http://sapbobj:8080/SAP/jsp/Action_Dispatch/dispatch.jsp?sap_client=100&cmsname=sapbobj:6400&language=EN&sap_sysid=D40&bw_id=4HUFYJ3XBZ7QLP5HIDYPR7PR6&sap-client=100&actionName=SAP_CrystalReport_View&appKind=InfoView&service=%2FInfoViewApp%2Fcommon%2FappService.do&loc=&initialFolderId=null]
Through VPN
[http://sapbwd.abc.com:8100/sap/bw/ce_url?(ce_protcl):(DS)(ce_server)/(ce_path_pr)/viewreport.csp(Q)bw_id=4HUPI3I78CG4S4EDH7XSDP736&sap_sysid=(sysid)&sap_client=100&language=EN&sap-client=100]
where "sapbobj" is the BOBJ system and "sapbwd" is the SAP BW Dev box.
For me it seems to be something related to the N/W. Please provide me your valuable inputs to solve this issue.
Thanks in Advance,

Open a crystal report from WAD with passing the variables values

Hi,
I need to know is there any way to link SAP WAD to crystal reports (open a crystal report from WAD)and pass the values of the variables which are entered in the Web App. (e.g. Customer id,year) should be passed to the Crystal Report.
Maybe we need to pass parameter by WAD URL but this is just my assumption and have no idea how to do this with passing variable values.
right now I know the method of how Bex queries which are used as data source for crystal reports but in my current scenario we have the structure like this that bex queries link with WAD and then WAD is linked with crystal reports.
No doubt that Crystal report is target option in RRI but there the source is Bex Query only but in current scenario we are looking WAD (web template) as a source to crystal report or crystal report called in WAD.
Please suggest something on same.
Thanks
Take care

How to delete all the crystal reports from SAP B1 ?

Dear Experts,
I have one problem and I need to Delete all the Crystal PLD's and Crystal Reports from SAP B1.
I can delete a PLD or Report using delete option from Report and layout manager or layout designer.
But I need to select delete option for each PLD and It makes very time.I have some 200 Reports and I need to delete fully.
Is there any possible to multi delete option in SAP B1?
I have searched many but i will not receive proper solution. Any one can explain how to do This?
Thanks ,

Dear Karthikeyan,
Manual deletion is actually the most safe way to delete them. If you try update B1 tables directly, you are against SAP support rule.
Thanks,

Dear All,
I am facing an issue that is if i run a report from SAP B1 using Crystal reports AddOn, it misses out some data.
Few Initial pages and a last page appears in the report. But when i run the same report using Crystal reports Designer it shows the actual number of pages. I have tested the above discussed issue on the server & workstation machines.

How do I open a Crystal Report from Microsoft Access?

I'm looking for step-by-step instructions on how to launch a Crystal Report from a Microsoft Access application (for a dummy like me).
My Crystal Report uses a connection to the Access database as the data.
I have Microsoft Access 2002 with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.5.
I have Crystal Reports 2008 CR Developer 12.
I'll need to know where to find the Visual Basic code references, and/or ActiveX Controls, if applicable.
Thanks
Janeen

I concur with Don. Just a bit of help - a sample VBA app is here;
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006013432008E/rdc_vba.exe
But as Don mentioned, you will have to downgrade to CR XI r2 (or lower) to implement the above solution.

Logon Screen when opening a Crystal Report from Add-on

Hello everyone,
I have a problem that I've been trying to solve. I have an addon that opens a Crystal Report with the information that the user wants. I tried it in SBO using a SQL db and it worked without problems, but now I've test it in SBO using IBM DB2 db (the client has that db implemented) and the report doesn't open, instead of the report it appears a log in screen asking for the server name, database, user and password.
I've tried every possibility without success, it returns a message saying that my login is not correct, the thing is that all I've written in that login screen is the correct info, even tried many possibilities... and I can't access to the report!
I've searched lots of forums for an answer, but none of them helped me. Can anybody help me with this issue?
Thank you very much,
Regards,
Mariana Mazzero

in case you do sure that is just lose some dll file,I think maybe you can create a install package by using Visual Studio.
you can create a form and put a crysyal object on the form. and use the wizard.
Visual Studio will auto collect all dll you needed.
than you can compare the file list,
or, you can just install the package on the standalone PC.
It's a stupid solution.
but, I think it is effective. :P

Open Crystal report from SAP BW

Hi,
is it possible to open and refresh (thus passing parameters/values) a certain Crystal report (version 2008 SP3) from a SAP BW system (version 7.10), e.g. with a RFC call? If it's possible, which transaction do I have to call to setup this call?
Which other ways could be possible?
Thanks!

Hi,
each report can be opened up via URL. There is a default application called OpenDocument. You can find the details on help.sap.com as part of the documentation for SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise.

Crystal report from SAP infoset query

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in a crystal report which is based on Infoset query. When I run the report after passing the parameters it gives me an error "Database error occured" "Parameter field value does not exists" "RFC Closed"
But if I run the same Infoset query from SQ01 I am able to run it with same paramenter and it returns many records.
To be very precise I am running the best practice crystal report "Cost Analysis - Planned vs. Actual Order Costs" which is based on infoset query CO_OM_CA_20_Q1.
It throws me error that "Controlling Area does not exists".
Did anyone faced similar problem?
Best Regards,
Chetan

Hi,
log into your SAP ERP system using the SAP GUI and choose in the SAP Menu the following path:
SAP Menu -> Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost Cetner Controlling ->Environment->Set Controlling Area.
Set the desired controlling area for your user there (DO NOT FORGET TO CLICK ON THE DISKETTE ICON) and try again.

Crystal Reports from SAP BW without BOE

I have read different documents and documentation about how you can use SAP BW objects with Crystal Reports.
One of that documents was "BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP - Crystal Reports 2008" from Ingo Hilgefort.
On Page 38 of that document, when saving the report, you have the option "Automatically Publish to Enterprise".
In the example it is not selected.
According with that:
Can I assume that I can have Crystal Report Connected to SAP BW without using BOE?
Even If I do not use, do I have to install BOE?
If I have the version Crystal Reports Enterprise 2008, do I have to use or install BOE?
Clarification will be appreciated on this topic.
Thanks in advance,
Jaime

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for your answer.
May I extendend the question to Xcelsius?
If you have installed NetWeaver EHP1 and SP2 for Xcelsius, my understanding is that you will a "Native access of SAP BusinessObjects Xcelsius via BICS without BusinessObjects Enterprise Platform XI 3.1" (According with document "Update to NetWeaver EhP1 SAp Netweaver 7.01")
Do you still need BOE to share the solution (as per Crystal reports)?
Thanks in advance,
Jaime

How to automate revision control of Crystal Reports from SAP B1?

I am reviewing our revision controls and am trying to figure out a good way to maintain a history of the SAP B1 Crystal Reports. Is there a way to automatically export the Crystal Reports to an external file? I know that developers can save the file by hand when they do changes, but that seems rather error prone. I am looking for a way to automate the export so that I can then save it to our version control system.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to automatically export the Crystal Reports?
Thanks.

Hi,
Try with this query to export crystal report:
SELECT T0.[DocCode], T0.[DocName], T0.[Author], T0.[Notes], T0.[CreateDate], T0.[UpdateDate], T0.[UserSign] FROM RDOC T0 WHERE T0.[Category] = [%0]
