How to add crystal enterprise server in portal?

Hello, I am not familiar with SAP Portal, I am a little bit confused with the following direction from point 5. I don't know how to add the system in the landscape. I don't see the Edit list. The netweaver version is 2004.
To configure the BusinessObjects Enterprise server
1. From the top-level navigation bar, choose System Administration; then
choose System Configuration.
2. From the Detailed Navigation iView, choose System Landscape.
3. In the Portal Catalog, expand Portal Content.
4. In the folder containing the systems, right-click a system and choose
Open, and then choose Object.
5. In the System Landscape Editor, from the Edit list, select Crystal
Enterprise Server.
6. In the BusinessObjects Enterprise Editor, enter the following parameters:
u2022 Host Name of Crystal Enterprise Server:
Here you need to enter the BusinessObjects Enterprise server as fully
qualified host name (including the port).
For example: BusinessObjects001.business.net:1080
u2022 Path of BusinessObjects Enterprise Server:
Here you need to enter the path to the viewer application you want to
use for this system.

Hi,
the steps are under the assumption that you have a system already configured in the portal.
the values for the BusinessObjects server are just properties. If you don't have a system configured you would have to create a system first - otherwise you can set these properties for an exisitng system

Hi,
I highly recommend to go from step 1 to the end in this tutorial, but if you realy want to just only to restore than you can start in Lesson 4: Perform a Restore From a Full Database Backup

Crystal Enterprise Server Installation

Hi all,
My aim is to write a crystal report that will communicate with the BW Business Object and display the data from SAP BW Server and i want to publish the report through the web using the portal iview.

I download the Crystal DVD from http:
service.sap.com it contained three folders. They are...
1. Crystal Report(cr)
2. Crystal Enterprise(ce)
3. Crystal Enterprise SAP Add-On(ce_se_disc1)
For installing these software i needed three serial keys...
On running the installation i found "Get KeyCode" Button, which lead me to web page...
http://www.businessobjects.com/jump/sap/oem_bw35_sap/en/form.asp
On submitting the form from the above link i got the 3 serial keys.
But, When i tried to install the setups, it reported me an
error "Serial Key is invalid".
I am able to successfully install only the Crystal Reports(cr). The problem persists when i tried to install the Crystal Enterprise(ce) and addon.
I am looking forward for a solution about the above problem.
Points Guarenteed.
Thanks & Regards,
Maheswaran.B

Hi Sharad dixit,
As you can see the above posts, it clearly states the i am not able to install the crystal server on my machine because i donot have a key code.
Do you have the Key Code?
If you have please send it to me from the email id in my business card. ( Just click on my name in the left side of the post ).
If you are only intreasted in the crystal report document you can get it from the SDN or http://service.sap.com...

Backup / Restore Test on SQL server. Am I right?

Hello Colleagues,
We want to execute the following plan in order to test our backup&restore infrastucture. Please couls you point me if I´m leaving something back?
SQL Server 2005 SAP nw2004s based system (I think that the below procedure is valid no matter the system is Abap standalone, JAVA standalone or ABAP+JAVA standalone)
We want to Stop SAP production System HRP in production host.
Detach HRP SQL server in production Host.
Restore from the last full backup on production Host changing the database name to HRPNEW (logical name and filenames)
Attach the new restored files to the SQL Server 2005 (I think that this point is not needed because the restore will leave the database operational if I mark the corresponding option)
Start Sap System and check that everything is OK inside.
Stop SAP system again
detach HRPNEW database
attach HRP original database
Start SAP system and check
FInally delete db files and log files from HRPNEW database.
What do you think?
Thank you very much in advance!
Regards

Thank you for your response.
But, is it needed if I´m restoring in the production server (same host name) the database with another name?
Or you meant to change the database name in anywhere?
Thanks
Regards!

Simple sample code to display a Crystal Report from Crystal Enterprise?

I am looking for a sample application that will "simply" view a report stored on our Crystal Enterprise server. I have looked at "boesdk_net_samples_12.zip", but that isn't really what I am looking for. And, the "CrystalReportViewer" and "CrystalReportSource" add ins for Visual Studio seem to only work with a "local" file (instead of one Managed or UnManaged on our Crystal Enterprise server).
Can anyone point me to the right place? (Navigating the SAP site is so damn confusing!)

Hi Shayne,
You are not clear on how you will know which report you want and for which user? You can query the CMS database for the user and get all of their reports but without knowing which report object ID to get you will need to have the user select one. Unless you simply assume you want the last one, but if you don't give them a choice and they miss one day, or what ever your parameter is to select, there will be no way to get back to that report.
For sample code on how to query the BOE Server look in the Enterpise SDK samples. You do need to use managed code. I don't suggest going into the FRS\output folder to use unmanaged reporting. There are a lot of folders created and it's easier to simply query the CMS database to get the latest instance.
Since you have BOE you should also have a support contract. I suggest you log a case on line in Service Market Place and get a dedicated Engineer to assist you.
This may be simply easier for you to use the Personal Favorites folder of the user so they can browse all report instances belonging to them. I suggest you talk to the BOE Administrator for more info on what BOE is capable of doing. what you want is fairly easy to manage with Enterprise itself.
Thank you

Ad Hoc query storeage in Crystal Enterprise

Apologies to all for a 'newbie' question. I was just handed control of our company's Crystal Enterprise server.
How and where does Crystal Enterprise store user defined ad hoc queries?
Are they stored in the database? or a local folder? If it's a folder, where is the default location?
Thanks.

Here is the scenario.
UserA creates an adhoc reports and saves it. (Using the Web interface.
1st. Issue. Where is the actual report physically saved? A blob in the db? A local folder? I want to double check our environment to make sure anything from our Active Directory rules aren't affecting this.
UserB wants to access UserA's report because he/she finds it useful but wants to modify a parameter.
2nd issue. UserB is unable to do so. I can access UserA's folder via CMS and copy the desired report to UserB because I am the adminitrator.
We would like to eliminate this by allowing any user to access and copy ad hoc reports, modify them as needed them save them to their personal space.
Again, I apologize if these are apparently simple issues. I backed into the project and am trying to get up to speed as quickly as possible.
Any assistance and recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Portal with Crystal Enterprise

Hi when i try to make export report from portlet I get string in portlet. See attach
file. But i need a download promt for report
[untitled1.jpg]

Hi Ingo,
I really thank you for all your help. Really appreciate it.
I imported the Business Package and par file from the below folder on the Crystal Enterprise Server:
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Web Content\Enterprise12\SAP\iviews\import\ep
I immported : com.businessobjects.pct.sap_pik.epa
and I uploaded : com.businessobjects.pct.masteriview.par
The import and upload were successful.
After this I read in the guide that:
The BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solutions install includes sample
iViews. They are located in the following folder: C:\Program Files\Business
Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Web
Content\Enterprise12\SAP\iviews\import\ep.
This folder contains all the files that are needed for you to import sample
iViews to your portal. The subfolder ep contains files for SAP Enterprise
Portal 6 (.epa files). Within each of these subfolders are additional subfolders
that contain the corresponding files for JSP.
But this is the same folder from which I uploaded and imported the .epa and .par file. There are no additional files to import sample iViews to my portal. The subfolder "ep" contains only 2 (.epa and .par) files as discussed above. there are no additional subfolders that contain the corresponding files for JSP.
Is this correct?
Also, where can I find the iViews that I imported when I imported the business package? It says that :
Pg 159
Configuring the imported content:
After you have imported the import files for the iViews, you will find the folder
(BusinessObjects Enterprise Integrations Kit) in the Portal Content Directory.
Where do I find this folder?
Thanks SB

Backup/Restore using Clonezilla

We have an old server that we are running Clonezilla on to do Backups. The old server was simple and didn't have Active Directory or Hyper-V installed. The Clonezilla backup is not the server edition. The old server has Windows 2008 R2.
Our new server is a failover cluster (2 nodes) using Hyper-V, and had to have Active Directory to be up to Security standards of our company. It uses live migration also. We are worried that if we use Clonezilla on the new servers that we will
get caught by Active Directory upon restores from our Clonezilla Backups. Maybe the GUID will be an issue, but we're not sure. We are worried to test our Clonezilla backup/restore on the new server because we might run into an issue with using
this method to restore. The new server has Windows 2008 R2 also, and has a SAN to store the VM's and database.
So my question is, can we expect our Clonezilla backup/restore to work on our failover server nodes with the added Active Directory?
I was reading these links that refer to Clonezilla, but the setup is different.
http://techjournal.318.com/tag/windows/,
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/440193-windows-7-cloning-what-does-everyone-use .
We aren't your typical IT people, and don't have a lot of experience with this.
Thanks!

Hi,
you should turn to CloneZilla support to check whether they support this scenario.
Note that Microsoft only supports cloning servers (especially DC's) in very specific circumstances, and backup and recovery software should comply with a lot of requirements to provide a fail-safe backup and recovery.
My best advice would probably be to seek advice from someone who is
a typical IT person to design your disaster recovery scenario. it might cost some, but it will be not comparable with the costs of a failing dister recovery plan.

Crystal Enterprise 10 CMS Server not coming up

Hello,
I am getting errors while trying to start Crystal Enterprise 10 on UNIX. The CMS server does not come up. I turned on the trace for the startup script and below is the error log. Can someone help me diagnose the issue please. If this is due to corrupt registry or corrupt objects, can I just restore from backup of the registry directory and restart?
Thanks.

Hi,
Try these,
1. Check whether the JDK version is an appropriate one and complete installation is done. Necessary entries of JAVA_HOME path is done in the Environment Variable.
2. Increase the heap size through Configtool of the J2EE Engine. After setting, restart the server.
3. Have the virtual memory increased.
Consider awarding points to helpful answer.

Crystal Report Server Backup and Recovery problem

I have a problem on the backup Crystal Report Server
My Environment:
- Windows Server 2003
- Crystal Report Server XI R2
- MySQL Database for Central Management Server System Tables(Default setting in the Crystal Report Server installation)
- Tomcat (Default seting in the Crystal Report Server installation)
I stop the Central Management Server before backup.
I run the following command to backup Central Management Server System Table:
mysqldump --user=root --password=pass1234 boe115 > C:\CMSBackup.sql
It is ok to generate CMSBackup.sql file.
After backup, I re-install the Crystal Report Server and run the following command to restore Central Management Server System Table:
mysqldump --user=root --password=pass1234 boe115 < C"\CMSBackup.sql
After finish the restore process, I cannot found my setting on the Central Management Server System.
Any backup step i missed ?

Hi Stefan,
Thank you for your reply.
I had set Users Rights, Folders setting, Group setting, and Windows Authentication information in the Crystal Report Server
Also I had upload reports to Crystal Report Server, but i cannot found above information after I restore the MySQL CMS database.
Any step i missed ?
About the Output File Respository, Can i copy and paste the Input and Output File Repository ?

How to restore a SP 2010 Foundation site collection in a SP 2010 Enterprise Server?

Is it possible to backup a Foundation site collection and restore it in an Enterprise Server?
Or should we use export/import?
Which is the best way to perform this?
Thank you
J.Clua

I;ve done it using import/export, using a back-up I would be afraid the db schema is different for Foundation, so I'm reluctant to go that way.
Kind regards,

Crystal Reports 10 Enterprise Server Issue - Exporting Large Reports to PDF

Weu2019re implementing a Crystal Reports 10 Server for a customer but weu2019re having an issue with exporting large reports to PDF. The report size that starts to show this issue is roughly 300 pages with 20 records per page. We use the default Crystal ActiveX viewer.
Basically what happens is that the user will launch the report in the ActiveX viewer and the large report will take a while to load, as much as 3 to 4 minutes. The user may then wish to export to PDF. Once they attempt it with these large reports the viewer will basically hang and possibly be processing but will then time-out after roughly 5 minutes with this error:
u201CProxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /thinqreports/THINQCrystalInterface.asp.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
IBM_HTTP_Server/6.1.0.9 Apache/2.0.47 (Unix) Server at lmsproxy.aurora.org Port 443u201D
We believe this error is coming from a server on our network. We have a proxy server between users and the Crystal Server that has a 5 minute time-out for connections. What we want to know is:
- Is there a way to speed up this export to PDF process?
- Should the Crystal Viewer be keeping an http connection alive to the Crystal Report Server while its doing this export process?
- If not, what port does Crystal Viewer use to communicate with the Crystal Report Server?
- Is there something we can set in Crystal to keep an http connection open?
- What is actually occurring during this export process?
Occasionally, we may get the above error when simply launching a report, not just attempting to export to PDF. We presume that is because loading the report into the Crystal Viewer from the Crystal Report Server is taking longer than 5 min.
Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.
Scott

Scott,
As this is happening within Enteprise (and I am assuming the report does not time out in the Crystal Reports Designer) I would suggest posting this to the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration
forum.
My limited Enterprise knowledge would be to suggest scheduling the report as PDF but I don't know if that is a viable option for you.
