SAP Crystal Reports data source connection problem using sap business one

Hi,
I m facing a problem regarding: SAP Crystal Reports data source connection problem using sap business one
I am trying to create a Crystal report but when I try to configure a new connection it does not work.
I select Sap Business One data source and try to complete the information required to connection but it does not list my companies databases, what is the problem?
Our Current SAP related software details are as follows:
OS: Windows Server 2008
SAP B1 Version: SAP B1 9 (902001) Patch 9
SAP Crystal Report Version: 14.0.4.738 RTM
Database: MS SQL Server 2008 R2
I have also added some screenshots of the issues.
Please have a look and let me know if you have any questions or any further clarifications.
I m eagerly waiting for a quick and positive reply.

Hi,
There is problem with SAP Business One date source.
I had faced same problem, I used OLEDB Data-source, and it worked fine for me.
So, try to use OLEDB.

Unable to create new connection using SAP Business One

Hi all,
I am unable to make a connection using the new SAP Business One connetion provided with the 8.8 release of SAP Business One Crystal Report Integration Package.
There are no Companies available to select from. When I try to manually type in the company name, the logon fails. If I then press "Cancel", I get a message that Crystal reports encountered a problem and needs to close. The details of the error refers to the following DLL: crdb_b1.dll.
The connection is successful from another PC that only has the Client installed (and uses the License server on our server, which also contains the databases.)
I have a local installation with my own license server. I am not even able to connect to the database on my local PC.
Please can anyone explain why this isn't working?
Regards,
Rikard

Hi Rikard,
You may get better help if you post your question to the Business One forum. I can' t move your post.

In my company they use SAP Business One, but i want buy a Mac book pro, it´s compatible?

in my company they use SAP Business One, i need to know if the mac bok pro its compatible?

First I've heard of the software. I suspect it can take a while to find a Mac user who can share experiences about a business package
The question of software compatibility is up to the software developer. I looked at their web site but, like too many other developers, they do not make system requirements easy to find. You need to contact them and ask if they support Macintosh and, if so, what levels of the Mac OS are supported.
If it is a Windows-only product (which I suspect it is) you have two options on a Mac:
1) Buy a recent version fo Windows and use Apple's BootCamp technology to partition your drive. Yu can then boot into either the Mac or the Windows OS.
2) Get a Windows emulation program like Parallels or VM FusionWare. You still need a copy of Windows. With these, Windows may b a little slower than in native booting via BootCamp, but you have the advantage of being able to switch between Mac and Windows on the fly, without a restart.
Info on BootCamp is here:

How to use SAP Business One as a source system for SAP BW 7.1

Dear Experts,
We have SAP Business One system as a transactional system. We need to connect the same to SAP BW so that we can deliever reports for this system in SAP BW. I want to know how the integration between these two systems work. Are there standard datasources created in SAP Business One which can be consumed directly in SAP BW like any other ABAP systems, or SAP Business needs to be connected using some ETL tool like UDConnect or Informatica?

Hi Manoj,
Welcome to ADOBE Forms related Workflow Development. Well, here are my answers.
1) You can go for either go for ISR based development or WD development with Adobe form. In both the cases you can achieve your requirement. Yes, you will have to design the Adobe form and bind the fields to backend.
2) Am not clear or your System landscape to advice you in these regards.
3) Until final Submit/Approval is done, the data can be stored in WORKFLOW CONTAINERS or XML FORM(If you go for ISR based Development).
Hope this helps.

Letter of credit management using SAP business one

Hi Experts,
One of our customer wants to manage the "Letter of Credit" used in exporting their product to different countries. They need to record it, discount it from bank, record bank charges and close it when their customer repays the amount. Also need to reconcile it through bank reconciliation. Is there any solution available (as an add-on or work around)?
Thanks and regards

Crystal report not able to see a SQL view in Business One

Hi all
I am trying to create a report using views I have created in the Business One database.
I can run the report fine when using the Crystal Designer, but when I try to Preview the external Crystal report file from within Business One, it comes up with an error 'The table 'xxxx' can not be found'.
I have tried to make the connect an SAP Business One connection, and also tried it with the OLEDB connection. Neither worked.
(I can however preview other 'table' reports fine)
I am running SAP B1 8.8 SP 0 pl 15 and SQL2005.
As views are allowable in B1 databases I would hope that we can use them in our Crystal reports. Can we use views?
Or is it my setup/Crystal setup that is causing me issues.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Denise

Hi Gordon and Kevin
Thank you both for your replies.
Gordon - great idea to use the Command mechanism. I had not thought of that but will give that a try.
Kevin - pleased to hear views are allowed as I often use them in my reports.
I think I have a more basic issue with my setup of Crystal & B1 on the system - and perhaps this is causing my inability to use views.
My current approach is to install Crystal Designer on the server. I know that it is preferable to put the designer elsewhere but I am not able to connect using SAP Business One connection at all from the client machines. Frustration! (Keeps saying Logon failed and I KNOW I have the correct logon details)
Will update this thread once I have set up the designer on the server and hopefully succeeded in including a view (or command) in a report.
Thanks for your help
Denise

Not able to install crystal reporter in SAP Business One PL 42

Hi All,
I had been using the evaluation version of crystal reports. Now when the free licensed version was launched I uninstalled the version and tried to instal the new one which I have downloaded from the portal. I have uninstalled the crystal reports runtime and the SAP crystal reports from the control panel. Now in the same process as mentioned I am installing the crystal reports again. In the ADD-ON istallation part when I am click on start the system shows the following error-
"An earlier version of crystal reports is found. Please ensure that the current installation is a higher version."
Inspite of the fact that my system showed no instance of crystal reports installed after the uninstall run by me.
Please guide me.

The following is the Instructions Extract from "SAP_CRYSTAL_InstallInstructions.pdf":
Un-installation of previous version:
If a previous version of the Add-on exists , it is highly recommended the previous add-on be fully uninstalled before installing the new version. To uninstall the add-on, follow the 3 simple steps below.
1. Using SAP Business One Administration | Add-Ons | Add-On Administration: remove and un-register the add-on.
2. Log off SAP and Log back in for the un-installers to run.
3. Using Windows Control Panel | Add-Remove programs: uninstall the u201CSAP Business One Crystal Reportsu201D ( Do not un-install Crystal Run time )
Installation of New Version:
1.The Add-On runs using the compatibility licence of SAP Business One.
2.Copy the installation files to a suitable location.
3.The installation disk or folder will contain a file called SAPCrystalSetup.exe.
4.Log on to the target PC as an administrator or admin type user (windows).
5.Copy the SAPCrystalSetup.exe to a convenient location on the target PC and run SAPCrystalSetup.exe (confirm all overwrites - you may keep the CrystalDesignerPath.txt intact if the path specified is different to the defaults).
6.SAPCrystalSetup.exe will install the add-on components on the local PC. It is recommended that you keep the path selected by the installer. The default installation path for the Add-on files are C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\AddOns\SAP_CR.
7.Locate the folder u201CDotNetFramework_3.5u201D , make sure the PC is connected to the internet and run the u201CdotNetFx35setup.exe u201C. An automatic download will occur, to get the suitable files for .Net Framework 3.5. This will take several minutes depending on the bandwidth. The installation of the .Net Framework will happen once the download finishes.
8.Locate the folder u201CCrystal_2008_Runtime_exeu201D and run the u201CCRRuntime_12_0_mlb.exeu201D. if a product ID is requested, leave the Text Box blank and proceed with install. This installs the Crystal Reports Runtime for Version 2008 on the local PC.
9.Once the setup.exe has completed, log on to SAP as manager or any other superuser.
10.Using Administration | Addons | Add-On Administration, register the Crystal Add-On, set the desired settings and restart SAP.
11.Log on to SAP, as a super user.
12.Run Account setup from Administration | Crystal Reports Administration | Account setup
13.Type in the sa password for the SQL server that holds SAP databases, and click Update. ( this process needs to be performed for each new PC, Once. )
14.Click the Create Ext tables button. Add-on will now create the additional tables (this process must be performed for each new SAP company once u2013 and can be performed from ANY PC). This creates the External SQL tables needed for the add-on.
15.THE TASKS 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 17 WILL NEED TO BE RUN ON ALL PCS THAT NEEDS THE CRSYTAL ADD-ON.
16.Crystal add-on is ready to use. A help file is provided and you may test the add-on with the sample reports found in u2026\ SAP_CR\SampleReports. The help file can be found in u2026\SAP_CR\Documents\UserHelpFile
17.If the Crystal Designer has been installed on the local PC, the following file needs to be edited ( or checked to be correct). The file gives the path to the Crystal Reports Designer exe. The add-on will read this file to launch Crystal Designer.
C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\AddOns\SAP_CR\Resources\CrystalDesignerPath.txt

Error Connecting SAP Business One and Crystal Report

Hi All,
I installed Crystal Report 2008 on my system for creating a report in Crystals.
I clicked on "New Report" and it opened a window called "Database Exert." However, when I look in the Database Expert, I cannot see "SAP Business One" in it. How can I connect SAP Business One 8.8 with Crystal Report?
Regards,
Bharath S

Hi
On your computer, locate the Crystal folder according to the following directory path: C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\Crystal. Then double-click the file: SAP Business One Crystal Report Integration Package.exe. and follow the step of the setup status screen.

SAP Business One 8.8 Database

I am using SAP Business One 8.8.
In the middle of working in SBO 8.8, it suddenly shut down. When I tried to log in again, the list of companies dissapeared. Seems like there's no database connection. The server and database (Ms SQL server) seem to be up and running. We turn off and on Ms SQL server and it seemed to work now.
According to our source, it indicated this has something to do with the policy in Ms SQL Server. Apparently, we took some companies within the database online and offline. This somehow trigger to lock the 'sa' access and disconnect the database. How do I prevent this from happening again? If this has to post in a different forum, i.e. Ms SQL Server, i will post there accordingly. Thanks.

Hi Gordon,
I checked the log files and it seems like user 'sa' was trying to access the database numerous times. This somehow trigger the Ms SQL Server policy and completely locked out ALL companies in the database. No one is using sa in the company.
The only thing I can think of is when I test crystal report, it prompted 'sa' by default at the database login screen. I normally select 'integrated security' to bypass that screen. However, I was doing that for the past few months and never had problems until yesterday. The 'blank' screen of company list has happened twice.
In SQL Server, I checked off 'enforce password security' for user sa. Will that be enough to fix the problem?
