Hello Sebastian
I have the document of Ingo Helgefort:

I do not find a similar document for XI Release 3.1 (SP3 or 4) - do you have the link?

Explore SAP CL cluster table folder using Crystal Integration Kit

Dear All,
I am a SAP FICO consultant and have just installed the SAP integration kit and CRYSTAL 2008 with a Business Object consultant. We planned to access the SAP cluster tables and replace some ABAP reports with CRYSTAL and Business Objects Reports.
We have encountered the below two key problems, which I am hoping you can help with:
- I am only able to view the three folders stated (CL, DD & FN) after giving the CRYSTAL User ID full SAP_ALL access and not with the limited access in the installation guide, profile CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT.
- I can not see any cluster tables within the CL (Cluster) folder as expected and only see data in the FN (Function) & DD (Data dictionary), even after giving the CRYSTAL ID the SAP_ALL access.
Please can you assist from your experience of implementing the Integration kit with SAP ERP?
Products used: SAP ECC6, CRYSTAL 2008 SP2 and current Integration Kit.
Kind Regards,
Mo.

Thanks for you replies and I also had a look at Ingo's blog "BusinessObjects and SAP Part 4". The blog indicates that the CL folder is not for the standard cluster tables but specifically for ABAP clusters. Hence why I can not see any tables within this folder as they have to be mapped and setup in SAP if required.
My installation must therefore be correct and I should just use the DD folder for accessing SAP cluster tables? Many thanks for your help and if you can confirm my above assumption then I will mark question as answered.
Cheers,
Mo.

Report on olap universe (integration kit) fails by WEBI and it runs by Rich

I've implemented the integration Kit and an OLAP universe query based and it runs.
I've a problem on a report that runs via Rich Client and fails via web client.
We are on BI 7.0 sp 19. Is it necessary to upgrade to BI 7.01 SP03 or SP04 ? We've seen your interesting document about the improvement of perfomance of BI 7.01 SP04 but we'd like to upgrade our BI system 7.0 in 2 months and not now.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Hi Sebastian,
The BO XI 3.1 Fix pack Level is 1.7. We have activated traces but we don't know if the traces are java.
We have the problem with reports with a large quantity of data, in report with a low quantity of data webi runs.
OSS ask us to evaluate the upgrade of our SAP BI to the EHP1 03 but it requires 2 weeks and we'd like to evaluate all alternatives before to do it.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Error using CR 11.5 with dynamic cascading prompts and SAP Integr.Kit XI R2

Hi,
we are using the SAP Integration Kit XI R2 (patched up to FP4.3) in order to report SAP BW data (BW 3.5) in Crystal Reports 11.5 (SP 4). In order to access the stored BEx Queries we use either the SAP BW Query or the SAP BW MDX Query Driver (_we DO NOT use any universes_). Everything seems to work fine ex cept when we want to use dynamic cascading LOVs within CR. For example when a user runs a report she/he should select first a customer group (0CUST_GROUP prompt) and then the customer (0DEBITOR). Defining the cascading prompts with dynamic LOVs is no problem in CR and when the report runs (either in CR Designer or in InfoView) both prompts appear. Still when we do a selection for the first prompt (0CUST_GROUP) we get a 0x8004380D error with the text message stating that the system is not able to retrieve the LOV data (I guess for the 0DEBITOR prompt). Please note that we do not get a corba error and no firewalls are activated. We checked the trace files of the page server and found out that there was an error calling the createRowsetCursor function within enginekernel.cpp.
Any hints on our case will be mostly appreciated. We have the feeling that we are hitting a bug here but maybe we are overseeing something.
Cheers
Stratos
PS: Please note that if we access directly the ODS Object (SAP ODS driver) the dynamic cascading prompts on exactly the same InfoObject (or better their keys in the ODS) work without a problem.

Hi Stratos
You can define LOV's in universes but unfortunately you can not use universes based on SAP in Crystal Reports.
You can define parameters in the Bex query which are passed on to Crystal Reports, so you don't need to define them in the Business Objects tools. Please have a look at the SAP Integration Kit user's guide

Error after uninstalling the SAP Integration Kit XI 3.0 on Unix

Hi all,
I have uninstalled the SAP Integration Kit XI 3.0 on a single solaris server installation. Uninstall was done exactly as instructed in the manual and everything looked ok.
Now when I try to go to the login page of CMC or InfoView I get an error:
type Status report
message /PartnerPlatformService/service/app/logon.do
description The requested resource (/PartnerPlatformService/service/app/logon.do) is not available.
Is the login page trying to look for the SAP authentication page that was removed ?
Is there some configuration still remaining somewhere that needs to be removed so I get the old login page back ?
Thanks for ideas, Timo

Thanks for pointing to the right direction. I changed the tomcat webapps web.xml file parameter and it was enought to start working again.
   <context-param>
        <param-name>config.logon.service.context</param-name>
        <param-value>/PlatformServices</param-value>

Error while updating SAP Integration Kit XI 3.1 to SP3

Dear All,
I have updated BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 and Integration Kits for SAP XI 3.1 to SP3.
The update of BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 was fine. While updating IK for SAP, the installation shown the following error
sapweb_rri.dll failed to register.
sapweb_parameter.dll failed to register
Then I completed the installation by 'Ignore' ing the above installer informations.
Now I am getting the following error
"Account information not recognized: Plugin Manager error: Unable to locate the requested plugin secSAPR3 on the server. (FWB 00006)"
Before the update, the setup was working fine.
Does this ignored error caused the problem?
Please help me to resolve the issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Yuvaraj

Thank you.
I have the following questions, for this full installation of IK SP3,
I have imported transports from IK XI 3.1 for R/3 and BO connection in R/3.
Does the transport that comes with IK SP3 is modified?
And also some reports are developed based on the datas from R/3.
Does this complete uninstallation of IK affects the existing contents?
Regards,
Yuvaraj.

SAP Integration kit for BO XIR2 with Crystal XI for BI 7.0 Front end

Hello Team,
We are in a little fix.
We have BOE XIR2, Crystal XI and working with old version of BI front-end 3.5.
We are upgrading to BI 7.0 frontend, but I am not able to trace out the SAP Integration kit for combination of BOE XIR2, Crystal XI and BI7.0.
Is such a thing available, If yes can someone send a link to that.
Regards
Lalan Kanade

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply
I could trace this document. "BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 SP3 for Windows"
I checked in "Supported Data Sources for Crystal Rep" section, extract below
SAP BW Server 3.0b SAP GUI 620 or 640
SAP BW Server 3.1c SAP GUI 620 or 640
SAP BW Server 3.5 SAP GUI 640.
But we are using BW Server 7.0 with GUI 7.1 and that working fine even with BOXIR2 and Crystal XI with Old Front End for BI 3.X.
But when we are testing with BOXIR2 and Crystal XI with BI New Front End 7.0 its missing components from the query output.
So the SAP Integration kIt seems old & we need a new Kit which would work with BI New Front End 7.0.
Any suggestions on that
Regards
Lalan

What went wrong in this Integration kit Installation - Any Clue

Hi Ingo and other experts,
I'm trying to install SAP Integration kit and as usual like most of others I'm also getting the common error while importing the roles.
"com/sap/mw/jco/JCO$Function"
1. BO Enterprise is installed on Windows server 2003 64 bit Enterprise Edition Operating System.
2. The BI system which I'm using on a different Windows server 2003 32 bit operating system. ( I'M INSTALLING ALL THE FILES ON THE 64 BIT SERVER ON WHICH BO ENTERPRISE IS INSTALLED. BUT NOT ON 32 BIT SYSTEM WHICH HAS SAP BW/BI).
Note: I only have the ABAP stack on my server. There is no Java stack installed on the 32 BIT SAP BW/BI SERVER.
3. I copied the sapjco3.jar file to C;\Program Files\ Business Objects\Tomcat55\Common\lib.
4. I copied the sapjco3.dll to C:\WINDOWS\system32
5. I got the latest SAP GUI and that is the reason I did not replace the librfc32.dll file as it is said in Ingo's blog.
6. I copied the sapjcorfc.dll to C:\WINDOWS\system32
7. I copied sapjco.jar to C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\common\lib folder.
8. Also I did the transports as mentioned in Ingo's blog.
I restarted the server 2 times and I checked that every server is up and running.
But no luck. Can anyone suggest me a note or a thread to solve this wierd issue.
Sirisha.

--Are you using Tomcat as web server?
Yes. I'm using Tomcat as the web server.
--In this case please use the Java Connector 2.1.8 and use the 32bit version.even if your BOBJ server runs on a 64bit windows system.
--I'm using the Java Connector 2.1.8. But for 64 Bit. I'm unable to find the 32 bit jco 2.1.8.
I'm did download the 32 bit jco file. Pasted the new 32 bit file in SYSTEM32 FOLDER AND SysWOW64 folder.
--Copy librfc32.dll and sapjco.dll in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory.
I copied these 2 files to the location specified. I copied the sapjcorfc.dll file to SysWOW64 folder.
--After you do this just uninstall and re-install the integration Kit for SAP solutions.
I'm going to do that now.
Thanks a lot for your help Stratos.

BOE XI 3.1 + SAP Integration Kit on AIX 5.3 with WebSphere 6.1 (SOLVED)

Hi everybody!
On a recent installation I encountered a problem with SAP Integration Kit using BW Query with prompts; I want to share with you what I did to solve this problem:
First of all, the environment:
IBM Server with AIX 5.3
BO Repository on DB2 9.5
Application Server IBM WebSphere 6.1
BOE XI R3.1
Crystal Reports 2008 SP1
After installing and configuring everything on the system, I encountered some problem launching in InfoView reports created with Crystal Reports 2008 based on BW query with SAP Prompts.
The error that I recieved everytime was:
com.sap.mw.JCO.$Function
What I did to solve this was:
1) Configure the absolute complete classpath inside the Application Server (path/sapjco.jar)
2) Put the sapjco.jar version 2.18 at 32bit (unix version) that you can download at https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000463654&
Hope this helping you
Bye
Andrea

Dear Gurus,
The issue I am facing is described exactly in the document "Upgrading to CR 2008 V1 / SP1" by Blair Wheadon.
The problem occurs when installing CR2008v1 and BOE 3.1 on the same machine.
The solution is to download and install SP1.
Unfortunately for me, I have downloaded SP1 but the installation is not going well.
Message prompts that installation files are corrupt and that I should download again.
I have downloaded twice. And tried several times.
So I guess it might be due to the platform.
But why wasn;'t the message displayed after BOE3.1 installation was completed?
Do you guys have an idea?

Error while installing SAP integration kit 3.1

Hi,
I installed SAP integration kit 3.1 on one server and it is working fine but when i am installing same installable on another server it is giving error as "Installation ended prematuarly because of an error". I dont know how to debug the error. Please help me.
Thamnks in advance

Hi Sonali,
had a similar problem on a Windows/Tomcat system. The installation was crashing before trying to deploy the .jar files. If you are facing the problem in a similar environment please make sure that you have copied the librfc32.dll and the sapjco.jar files in the correct directories. Especially for sapjco.jar doublecheck the path you have copied the file into.
Regards,
Stratos

Error when installing the Integration Kit for SAP

Hello,
When installing the integration Kit I get the following error:
The installation of BO XI Integration for SAP Solutions cannot continue because WACS has been installed with BO Enterprise.
i have seen in BO-SAp Integration Kit Installation Error that I have to had selected the point Install Tomcat application server option, but I was not asked to.
I'm following the blog BusinessObjects and SAP - Part 1 of 4, and my installation screens are similar but not equal. for example, I fon't have the installation type new, but the quickk type. And I cannot select the database, too.
Of course the screen asking about the Web Application server with the option of installing the tomcat application server doesn't appear.
What have I done wrong?
What is the solution? Reinstalling everything but doing what?
Thanks and regards,
Ana.

Hi Ingo,
Yes, it is BO Edge.
I have deinstalled the BO Edge sw and now I have installed it again. This time I have selected the export installation type and I have select the TOMCAT. The installation has finished successfully, but when installing the SAP integration Kit, I have the same problem. The message about the WACS already installed appears again.
What else can I do?
Thanks and regards,
Ana.

Default language settings in SAP Integration Kit?

Hi everybody,
I've the following problem:
If I create a report with the SAP Integration Kit (create new report from a query) I get a prompt where I can type in (System Number, User, Password and LANGUAGE). If I now choose as language u201CEnglishu201D and create a report, save it and open it in crystal again, everything is still fine. But if I go to refresh the report, I get a prompt where I can choose the SAP BW and type in the System Number, User and Password but not the LANGUAGE. After the refresh the names of the fields are still in English but the data is now in German (or just the technical names, depends on the language settings in the query).
For me it looks like that the language settings of the refresh are by default in crystal is set to German, but the software is English. I didnu2019t find any way to change the default language to English or save it in the report.
I already tried to change the language/regional/keyboard settings of my machine and also tried to change the language in the crystal formula field u201Clanguagecode%u201D.
But even if I could have a unique change in some system settings, it really will not help me, because I have some queries in German and some in English, depending on the actual BW system.
If the SAP Integration Kit gives me the possibility to choose the language during the creation of the report it should then remember the choice!?
Thank you for your help
