BOBJ 4.0 Upgrade: Impact on Int Kit customizations for crystal reports?

BW Version 7.01
BOBJ version XI 3.1
We would like to upgrade to BOBJ 4.0, could anyone provide input on these questions?
1 - Can we keep BW 7.01, or do we need to look into upgrading to 7.3? We'd prefer to not touch bw now. If we move to bobj 4.0, does BW need to be touched?
2 - We have modified these function modules in BW (i believe they are part of the integration kit in SAP BW) to meet end user requirements for crystal reports; will crystal reports in BOBJ 4.0 still work with these? I believe one of the improvements is that these aren't used anymore for performance reasons???
BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_VARIABLE
BAPI_MDDATASET_CREATE_OBJECT
BAPI_MDDATASET_GET_AXIS_DATA
BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_MEMBERS
BAPI_MDPROVIDER_GET_MEMBERS
3 - 99% of our reports are crystal, are there any other hurdles or reasons why we should be cautious moving to 4.0? We are looking to roll out explorer, webi, and xcelsius and would rather go ahead and catch up to 4.0...
Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
1. i'd recommend having a seperate BW for BI4 purposes. If anything, it makes management of integration TRANSPORTs much easier, given that you can only have 1 version active..
(yes, although there's no SAP IK Kit, transports are still imported into backend)
2. OLAP BAPI access is still there in BI4.0, namely for the CR 2011 tool with BW MDX Driver , and for Webi documents using the legacy Universe Design Tool OLAP.unv file.
the new OLAP data access driver for SAP in BI4.0 is the BW's BI Consumer Service (BICS API). The function modules for this are generally called: BICS_PROV_GET*
3. No hurdle at all. You can migrate your content as-is without fear of change. that's principally why the CR 2011 client is there for the 4.0 RTC - for adoption and onboarding. That legacy CR client technology is wholy unchanged, apart from .xlsx support and a 'read only' save mode.
the Crystal for Enterprise product is still playing catch up. It hasn't got all (any) of the direct drivers you would expect from crystal, but it can consume the new .unx common semantic layer and the BICS jco driver (neither of which the CR2011 product can)
... as of 4.1 (Q1 2012) the fit-gap in features is answered. i.e. they've all been fwd ported.
i hope this helps

SAP Integration Kit for Crystal Reports

Hello,
I read Ingo Hilgefort's blog on BusinessObjects and SAP Part 2.
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
Does the current trial version of crystal reports available from businessobjects.com have this integration kit embedded in it?
If not, where can i find it?
Regards,
Suraj

hi shenoy,
SAP Integration Kit
The SAP integration kit includes drivers to allow connectivity to both R3 and Business Warehouse (BW). In addition, it includes a BW toolbar for Crystal Reports, a specific version of InfoView with Role-based links, sample iViews for Enterprise Portal, and an SDK in Java, COM, or .NET.
Reporting off R3 Data
The kit includes two drivers to allow Crystal Reports to connect to the ABAP data dictionary via a remote function call or RFC.
The Open SQL driver allows the user to connect to SAP R3, displaying the field and the short text description of the tables and fields. The developer can then join the tables accordingly, using the database expert, and then select the relevant fields from which to report. This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.

This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.
Note
In Crystal Reports, you cannot check the SQL generated using the Show SQL Query option from the Database menu. You can check what Open SQL was generated by using SAP transactions.
The InfoSet driver allows the user to connect to an existing InfoSet, as defined by SAP transaction SQ02. Alternatively, you can use an existing ABAP query, as defined by SAP transaction SQ01. The benefit of this driver is that the user does not need to know where the data is stored or how to join the tables. Another advantage is that any prompts defined in the InfoSet become parameters in Crystal Reports.
Note
To test the InfoSet query, run the InfoSet using your SAP GUI and ensure that it is pulling the required data first before testing it in Crystal Reports.
Reporting off BW Data
When reporting off of BW data, the Business Objects' Integration Kit consists of three drivers that are used to pull data.
The BW Query driver enables the user to connect to a BW query. To enable selection of a query with this driver, Crystal Reports has its own toolbar, as shown in Figure 15.3, and the user needs to select the New Report icon from this toolbar. The user then selects the required BW query, and thus displays a listing of fields available in the query. The user can then create the report using any of those fields. Variables defined in the query automatically become Crystal Reports parameters. After the user has finished building the report, the user saves the report using the BW toolbar. This saves the report to BW, and if the user selects the option to do so, automatically publishes the report to Enterprise.
Figure 15.3. Crystal Reports after the SAP integration kit is loaded. Note the SAP menu and BW toolbar.
[View full size image]
Two new drivers have been added to the XI R2 version of the SAP Integration Kit.
The MDX query driver supports using Crystal Reports to report off either a SAP BW query or a BW Cube.
Furthermore, it adds additional functionality by providing support for
A structure in both the row and column of the BW query
Hierarchy node and hierarchy node variables
Free characteristics in a BW query
The Operational Data Store or ODS driver exposes the ODS tables, so that they look much like the tables of any relational database. However, because of the structure of the objects, it considers them to be like a database stored procedure.
Connecting to the ODS objects is not performed with the SAP toolbar described here, but rather by selecting the driver from the Data Explorer as shown in Chapter 1, "Creating and Designing Basic Reports." After the user has finished building the report, the report can be saved back to BW and published to Business Objects Enterprise by selecting the Automatically Publish to Enterprise check box, as shown in Figure 15.4.
Figure 15.4. The additional options after saving a Crystal Report to SAP BW.
Note
This publishing method requires some setup. Please refer to the Installation documentation for further details.
Note
Both the ODS and MDX drivers require SAP transports to be loaded on the SAP BW system. Please refer to the Installation CD in the Transports folder for further details.
Using OLAP or Web Intelligence to Report off BW Data
Included in the SAP Integration Kit are specific drivers to allow OLAP Intelligence and Web Intelligence to report off of SAP BW.
To connect to a BW cube or query using OLAP Intelligence, open the connection browser and select Add. Select SAP Business Information Warehouse and then proceed to fill in the relevant data, as shown in Figure 15.5.
Figure 15.5. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from OLAP Intelligence.
[View full size image]
After you are connected, select the query or cube and process to build the report, as described in Chapter 19, "Creating OLAP Intelligence Reports."
Web Intelligence is new to XI R2 and requires that a universe be built on a BW Cube or Query. However, to aid in this process, Designer builds the universe for you. To do this, select SAP from the list of connects and fill out the required information, as displayed in Figure 15.6.
Figure 15.6. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from Web Intelligence.
[View full size image]
Finish the remainder of the wizard and when you click OK, Designer generates the Universe for you. It may be necessary to move some of the objects around to suit your needs, but when you are finished, export to Business Objects Enterprise.
Note
Only the BW query driver does not require the query be released for external access. The Web Intelligence, OLAP Intelligence, and MDX drivers require the user to release the BW query. To release a query, select the query properties in the BW Query Designer and select the Extended Tab and then check Allow External Access to This Query.
Viewing the Reports
Your SAP reports can be viewed either via the SAP integration kit's InfoView or via SAP Enterprise Portal 6. The integration kit provides a number of sample iViews that can be imported by a portal administrator. These include
Folder iView The folders a user has access to are displayed, and from here a user can run her reports.
Alert iView Shows all the alerts that have been triggered by Crystal Reports. The user can then click on the report to view the report. The creation of alerts is defined in Chapter 11, "Using Record Selections and Alerts for Interactive Reporting."
Thumbnail iView This iView displays the Crystal Report as a thumbnail of the report. The user can then click on the thumbnail to run the report.
Note
These are sample iViews. The organization can create its own iViews via the provided SDK.
BusinessObjects InfoView for SAP is a unique version of InfoView designed for integration with SAP BW systems. This integration includes features such as the ability to log on to InfoView using your SAP username and password. Related to authentication is the ability to access your roles and the Crystal Reports saved to these roles. The roles are defined in Enterprise as folders. The user can also schedule reports in the different languages loaded into SAP BW. This creates an instance for each language.

1) Crystal Reports 2008 Merge Modules
2) Crystal Reports 2008 Runtimes.
Are they incremental upgrades ????
Thanks in advance..

Upgrade to a newer veresion questions of Crystal Reports

We currently have crystal reports 7 and we are having issues linking to databases on a new computer, so I have been thinking about upgrading. I have someone here telling me it was a big deal last time they upgraded. My question is what do I have to expect to get our Crystal Reports created in version 7 to funcition correctly in the newest version which is 12, I think. Will they automatically convert right over, or is there going to be someone work invovled in remapping, and moving things around???

Hi Lindsey,
I've gone from 8 to 2008 with almost no problems. About 90% of my reports worked fine and some were very intensive reports.
The few that needed work were ones that were designed to print on pre-printed forms. So I did have to move things around to fit on the form again for those. I also had 1 report that used a UFL I created. I had to make changes to the function in Visual Basic but again that was pretty minor.
I also had some custom programs using the Crystal RDC that needed to be upgraded as well. Again, nothing major but some refrerences were changed.
I would recommend making a copy of all your reports, download the trial version of Crystal 2008 and give it a try on a few reports. Most should work out of the box.
Good luck,
Brian

Upgrading from CR 10 Embedded Edition to Crystal Reports (server) xi

We recently upgraded from CR10 Embedded edition to Crystal Reports Server Xi. In our application the users access the reports via a web page (where they enter the paratemeters) and the report is displayed using the Crystal Reports viewer. The CR server xi was recently installed and all the SDK references have been as mentioned in this document: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/724. But now when the reports are accessed via the web page we are encountering the error 'All of your system's 0 Concurrent Access Licenses are in use at this time or your system's license key has expired. Try again later or contact your administrator to obtain additional licenses.---- Error code:-2147217397 Error code name:enterpriseLogonFailed'
Can anyone share your thoughts or provide suggestions?
Thanks,
in advance!
SG.

Hello SG,
A common issue that arises when migrating from Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded to Crystal Reports Server XI applications that use the Report Application Server (RAS) SDK.
The RAS supports two modes of operation - "Unmanaged" and "Managed" reporting.
With CE10Embedded, you'd be using Unmanaged Reporting, where you'd copy the Crystal Report rpt file to the RAS server, and reference it by path when opening it in the ReportClientDocument class instance.
With Crystal Reports Server XI, you can use either Unmanaged Reporting, or Managed Reporting. Managed means you'd publish the rpt file to be "managed" by the CR Server Central Management Server (CMS). In code, you'd log onto the CR Server, retrieve the ReportAppFactory from the CMS, retrieve the report from the InfoStore, and pass it into the ReportAppFactory to create the ReportClientDocument.
I'm assuming you're still using "Unmanaged Reporting" with Crystal Reports Server.
If so, each report request will be authenticated in the CMS using the "Guest" account, and each request will use up a Concurrent Access License (CAL).
If you're getting the exception on the first report request, then that likely means you have the complimentary copy of CR Server XI, that comes with zero CALs and five Named User Licenses.
You won't be able to use unmanaged reporting with the complimentary version. You may want to modify your code to use managed reporting.
If you're getting the exception on the sixth or subsequent request, then that likely means you've purchased CR Server XI, and the base edition comes with 5 CALs.
If you contact sales, you can inform them of the number of users you have, and how frequently they request reports, and sales can recommend a license to match your requirements.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

How to upgrade Crystal report to 10.5.3700

Hi All,
I have standalone Crystal report 10 and VS2008 Professional 2008 SP1 Installed.
the version number for crystal report shown for Crystal report 10 with SP6 is 10.0.1.2522
the version number for VS2008 built in crystal report is 10.5.1943.
I have a project that crystal report is designed by 10.5.3700 so that when I try to open the rpt file .
I get an error says I some feature will be disabled becase the rpt file is designed by late version.
How Can I upgrade both the buildin part and standalone part of report design to 10.5.3700?

try opening the rpt file in the visual studio and saving it again. it should be able to upgrade the reports to the newer version.
for upgrading the project to use the 10.5 references / dlls you will need to remove the 10.0 references from the project and add the 10.5 ones.

Crystal Reports 2011 Upgrade edition not installing

Hi, I bought Crystal 2011 upgrade on Friday and have been trying to install it. It seems to complete the installation but in the end I get this error message after clicking on Finish button.
Missing installdir reg key for installiverse, required for uninstall.
Key: SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Installer\aurora
Value: Path
Checking the Crystal Directory under Program Files showing only Chart Support subdirectory.
Need some help with this issue.

1. Download the latest version of the installation package for Crystal Reports 2011. To verify the version of extracted package, open productid.txt file located at: {installation package}\DATA_UNITS\CrystalReports\.
Make sure it is not less than 14.0.2...
2. Where to download Crystal Reports 2011 installation from: - free trial from SAP Online shop http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx - from SDN Community page http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm - from Service Market Place http://service.sap.com/sbop-downloads Note: downloads from all above listed locations are fully functional product installations. Trial version defined by expiring key code, not by functionality limitations.
3. Copy the installation package to a hard drive if possible to avoid any networking issues.
4. Login to the machine as Local ADMINISTRATOR.
5. Temporary disable any kind of firewall, antivirus, network security etc., if possible.
6. On the latest versions of Windows, even if logged in as local Administrator, right-click the setup.exe and select "Run as Administrator". If do not have Administrator account, right click "Run as" Select current user and uncheck the "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity".
7. Make sure there is enough space on the computer. If not sure about the space, run "Custom" installation with minimum components. Non-mandatory components could be added at any time.
8. Finally, if there is an existing "InstallData" folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects rename it to "InstallDataOLD"

Crystal Report Server XI R2 - Upgrade MySQL to 5.0 or 5.1?

Although SP4 for Crystal Report Server XI R2 contains mySQL v 4.1.23, there are security vulnerabilities which are only addressed in 4.1.24 and 4.1.25. These versions are not in release in binary form from mysql.com, as 4.1 is no longer supported.
To address the security vulnerabilities, an update of mySQL to 5.0 or 5,1 may be required, but a straight upgrade from 4.1 to either of these versions does not seem to work - CMS cannot connect to the new database version.
Can anyone provide some guidance on how to patch mySQL from 4.1 to 5.0 or 5.1 for Crystal Report Server XI R2, or whether there is another way of addressing the security vulnerabilities in 4.1.23?
Thanks
Paul

Answered my own question. Managed to upgrade to 5.0 following this process, but follow these instructions with care...
1. Stop all CMS services in Config Manager.
2. Go to Add/Remove programs and click "change" for Crystal Reports Server XI. Click on "Modify" then change the entry for MySQL4.1.13a to "Entire Feature will be unavailable" (from Enterprise -> Server Components -> Servers - > Central Management Server). This will remove the existing mySQL version and any data/license key information/customisation, so be wary.
3. Install the desired version of mySQL.
4. Use the MySql command line to create a new database - "create DATABASE BOE115;"
5. In the Central Config Manager, select the CMS and display its properties. Select the Dependencies tab and remove the old version of mySQL and add the new version. Click on the Config tab, then Select Datasource. Select mySQL driver, then complete the details for the newly created database. Once complete it will still produce an error, at which point you need to select the options to Re-create the Current Datasource.
6. Once the datasource is sucessfully recreated, restart the Crystal service in the Config Manager.
7. Open the Config tool, and add your license key. Then Re-Enable all the servers within the Servers page.
8. Any other customisation or preferences would need to be re-applied.
This worked for me, but obviously take care as your existing mySQL database will be completely removed during the process.

Crystal Reports Error - BOBJ is undefined

Post Author: cstent
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi
I recently upgraded from crystal reports 10 to 12 and am now coming accross an error when i try and deploy a crystal report viewer onto a webpage.
Im getting a javascript page error "'bobj' is undefined".
Searching on the web i can only find one other person who has come accross this error, and not posted the solution.
Any ideas?

Crystal Reports Error - BOBJ is indefinido
hola para los que no Leen inglés.
este error se dió cuando quise ejecutar el reporte en formato HTML.
las causas son estas, cuano se instala el runtime solo se instala en C:Inetpubwwwrootaspnet_clientsystem_web2_0_50727
alli dentro tiene los formularios, y el javascript para que se ejecute el reporte en html (todo el viewer).
cuando quise ejecutar el reporte tengo otra ruta que se llama c:Inetpubwwwpruebasaspnet_clientsystem_web y me marcaba el error, eso es porque los scripts no se encontraban en esa ruta.
PARA RESOLVERLO solo copiar el system web de wwwroot y pegarlo en la otra ruta. con eso solucionan el problema.
saludos desde MTY Mex.

Upgrade from crystal report 8.5 to crystal report 2011

Hi All,
Currently we are using crystal report 8.5 (PEAPI and dictionary files) (with VB6) to generate historical data for our product. Reports can have millions of records. We are using 2-tier architecture ( our client resides on windows machine and database
- Oracle10g dedicated server- resides on linux server).
We are planning to upgrade it to CR2011(with .NET)
My understanding is :
Crystal report designed in SAP Crystal Report 2011/SAP Crystal Reports(version for Visual Studio 2010)/.NET SDK for CR2011 and developed in VS2010 will use Crystal Reports(version for Visual Studio 2010) runtime. Please comment.
Is there any way to use PE APIs in Crystal report 2011 ? If not which is the best way to upgrade ?
Please comment.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hello,
Not sure which viewer you are using, should be CR.Windows.Form and in code using RAS ( Report Application Server ) you'll get these options which are now controllable by you to allow all or just some:
private void ViewReport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    rptClientDoc = rpt.ReportClientDocument;
    //crystalReportViewer1.ShowProgressAnimation(false);
    crystalReportViewer1.ShowGroupTreeButton = false;
    crystalReportViewer1.EnableDrillDown = false;

Only change is the Excel Export formats have changed, and no option to use the old Excel types available in CR 8.5. Search Kbase for Exporting to Excel, there is a great article on how to optimize your reports for best output.

Run crystal report through BI, can't locate par file on BOBJ server

Attempting to run crystal report through BI iView.
Followed steps here: http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CreateBOEXI3.1IntegrationKitIViewTemplateintoSAPEP+Portal
successful until we try to locate the par file:
com.businessobjects.pct.masteriview.par
Is there something we need to install to be able to load this file, or is there somewhere we can download.
As of now, stopped b/c can't find
com.businessobjects.pct.masteriview.par

Thanks Ingo, would this be the correct file to download and install?

We currently have BOBJ set up, CMC/INFOVIEW, and crystal linked to SAP BI...so I thought we'd installed everything we need, I guess this is more for portal...b/c now our goal is to see what crystal reports look like in BI portal instead of infoview.
thanks a lot,
matt
