BUSINESS OBJECTS- Crystal Reports-based out of Function module

We are right now creating BUSINESS OBJECTS- Crystal Reports. Our client requirement is to create this report based out of u201CFunction moduleu201D.
With the current parameters settings at the Crystal Reports designer we are able to create the report based on View and Linking various table. The reports get executed and fetch data. But when we create a report based out of FM, the report returns nothing. The screen stays in u201CNot responding stageu201D and terminates after without any message/pop-up.
Can anyone please help us resolving this? Are there any parameters/settings to be done which we are missing?
Thanks,
Pallavi

Hi Pallavi,
Not much info to go on. What version of Cr are you using?
What database and version are you using?
How are you connecting to the database, ODBC, OLE DB or native driver?
Have you turned tracing on the server to what SQL is being passed from CR?
Have you copied the SQL from Show SQL in the Designer and paste that into a DB SQL test tool to verify you should be getting data back and that you are not returning so much data it's going to take a week to get?
Not responding simply means CR is waiting for data, try being patient and see if you ever get data or add a Record Selection formula so you only get a few rows of data.
Try reporting off of a single table itself to verify it works and you have permission to run the SQL.
Thank you
Don

Crystal Reports Based on SAP Function Module and Transperant Tables

Hi,
I need to develop reports based on SAP trasperant tables and to filter the records I require to use one of the function module in SAP.
I have created parameters in Crystal reports that are required for the function to execute and are included in the where clause of the query. This helped the fuction to get those parameters and execute it.
The thing is that the fuction works fine with one set of parameters and gives accurate results both in SAP and Crystal Reports.
But fails for other set of parameters.
It works fine when we directly execute function in SAP produces a record set. But, when we pass those parameters from Crystal Reports it fetches no data.
Can anybody tell me the exact procedure to use function module and transperent tables together in Crystal Reports ?
Thanks in Advance.
Niwas Joshi

Hi,
This is going to be hard to explain, however you need to recognize that the function has input and possibly output (export) parameters. Crystal Reports is able to work with these parameters. However it is up to you to figure out how these parameters are used effectively to give you the correct results when joining the function with other data sources such as transparent tables.
If you're using transparent tables and functions in a Crystal Report, then you need to link these objects in such a way so that a left outer join for example is using the function's output parameters to join to the transparent table equivalent fields. However if the table is the starting point then the joins from the table should join the Input parameters of your function.
you can set these joins in the Database menu | Database Expert | Links of Crystal Reports.

Business Objects Crystal Reports with Clarity - anyone on here use is?

Hi all,
we are in the process of upgrading our Clarity system to version 8.1.1 - which has gone away from Actuate to support Crystal Reports instead.
Is anyone here using Crystal Reports with Actuate already?
I was looking into upgrading from CR XI to CR 2008 - but wondered if the extra functionality is worth the upgrade cost.
They say that users can interact with the data by sorting/filtering and re-formatting without re-querying the database - and there is a parameter panel that allows new parameters to be added to the 'saved' data..
i was wondering if those features are available when it is used with Clarity..
thanks in advance,
Matt

Hi Matthew,
I recommend to post this query to the [Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports; forum:
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Crystal Reports Design queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thanks a lot,

Runtime error! Program: c:\program files\business objects\crystal reports 11.5\crw32.exe

When a crystal report output of 518 pages (containing CROSS-TABS), exporting to EXCEL, it is running upto 96 - 98 % and getting the above error and the following message :
This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Hello Manindra,
please add some more information.
Do you get this error only when exporting ?
Only to Excel ?
Printing and exporting to e.g. PDF works fine ?

How to access Business object type attribute from a method/function modul ?

Hello,
i have created a business object type object along with attributes and methods. Now inside the method i want to access the attributes. inside the method i am writing:
data a type XXX.
a = me->attribute
this is creating a compilation error.
Now the method is defined as a function module in some package, so can anyone inform me how to access object attributes from the function module ?
pointes are awarded
Regards

Hello,
thanks for your answer, but this too did not work, "=>" is for static attributes and the attributes i have are not static. Moreover, i tried it but it gave the same error :
the abap error was when i was checking the code is :
the type me=>documenttype is unknown
as you know in SWO1 i created an object and when i create a method you link it to a function module and this is where you have the implementation of the method, so from this method how can i access the attributes on the main object that i created in SWO1

Launch a Crystal Report Based on a Bus. Objects Universe with code

Post Author: BobM
CA Forum: .NET
Launch a Crystal Report Based on a Bus. Objects Universe with code
We have purchased Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 and have designed a universe. We have hundreds of scheduled reports that have been configured through the InfoView. The problem is that we run these reports on a very odd date schedule and it is extremely cumbersome to go into these report definitions and change the dates in InfoView.
We would like to be able to store all the report parameters in a table (outside of the BO universe) along with the date and time we would like it to run. All of this would need to be tagged with the report name so we know what report we are referring to. Then we would like to sweep this table periodically (or use some other triggering mechanism) and launch the reports as specified (hopefully) using an API/SDK (like the one that used to be available with Crystal) to launch the .RPT file and pass all of the appropriate parameters, and possibly the credentials if need be.
In short we want to roll our own report scheduler due to some limitations we have found in the InfoView scheduler.
My main question is, does an API/SDK exist that can launch a crystal report that is based on a Business Objects Universe? As I had stated, it needs to be able to pass parameters in the report call. Based on my previous projects using Crystal connected directly to a SQL Server DB, I beleive this is possible, but I would like to hear from others that may be doing something similar with a Business Objects Universe back end.
We are using Crystal Reports XI R2. Just to be clear, all of the functionality I specified up to the point where the report needs to be called is not an issue, we know how to do all of that.
Thanks in advance,Bob

With the code, you've presumably logged on to the database. To insert objects on to a new report you'd want to use code along the following lines:
private void AddTableFromDataSet(ref CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rpt, System.Data.DataSet ds)
ISCDReportClientDocument rasReport = rpt.ReportClientDocument;
// Convert the DataSet to an ISCRDataset object (something the ISCDReportClientDocument can understand)
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRDataSet rasDS;
rasDS = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataSetConversion.DataSetConverter.Convert(ds);
// Add the dataset as a data source to the report
rasReport.DatabaseController.AddDataSource((object)rasDS);
// Add a field to the report canvas
// Note: This is quick and dirty. No positioning, resizing, formatting, etc.
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ISCRResultFieldController rfc;
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRTable crTable;
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRField crField;
rfc = rasReport.DataDefController.ResultFieldController;
crTable = rasReport.Database.Tables[0];
crField = crTable.DataFields[2]; // Hardcoded field "Customer Name" in the Customer table from Xtreme Sample Database
rfc.Add(-1, crField);
// Save the report template to disk (without data)
//object path = @"c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\";
//rasReport.SaveAs("test.rpt", ref path, 0);
//MessageBox.Show("Done!");
For more info, see sample apps on the following link:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/IgBmBQ
Also, consult your 'Report Application Server .NET SDK Developer Guide" and "Report Application Server .NET API Guide". I'd provide the appropriate links, but you do not mention the version of CR you are using...

Converting crystal reports 10 to Business Objects XI reports

Hi All I am very new to Business Objects XI R2, I have two doubts if any one knows please give reply to me so that it will be helpful for me.First is :Now I am working for a project called Converting Reports which was created by Crystal Reports 10 TO Business Objects XI reports.Is there any specific way for converting .rpt(Crystal Reports) to .rep (Business Objects) or I have to recreate in Business Objects XI. and Second is: Is it possible, Scheduling BO XI report in java based interface, I heard that it is possible but I don't know how?Please give me, How it is possible? Waiting for replyThanks in Advance 

you will need access to the CMS DB and FRS from CE10 in order to migrate to XI 3.x, typically this is accomplished via network. If you can restore them to the same computer a side by side (install CE10 and XI 3.x on the same server) may work as well.

Reporting tools for the Business user - Crystal reports or BEx tools ?

Hi,
We have recently implemented BI/BO infrastructure. Scope of the inital implementation was an executive dashboard based off COPA data. We have used Xelcisus for dashboard and BEx tools for query design etc.
We would like to set up some of our key business users (analysts in respective functions) to be able to write their own queries off this COPA cube. The discussion point is whether to roll out Crystal reports for business users or have them trained on BEx tools i.e BEx query designer/analyzer.
Any inputs to my question "Crystal Reports or BEx tools for the Business users - pros and cons", is appreciated.
Thanks,
Girish

Our user currently do not have anything. It's fresh implementation. We would like to get the business users involved. The question is - what's the best start for a business user - Crystal Reports or Bex ?

Issues with Infoview data refresh on Crystal Reports based on BW BeX query

Hi all,
We applied the Business Objects XI3.1 fix pack 3.1 with Integration toolkit fix pack 3.1 in our environment.
After that we started having trouble with Crystal Reports based on BeX queries that use manual input variables.
The data refresh would not work in Infoview.
The data refresh would work using the Crystal Reports designer gui on local machine.
regards,
Abhishek

Hi all,
This thread is for the benefit of all the BW/BO people who faced issues with BO reports not working after certain fix pack installations.
After lot of time spent in debugging this and researching and some help from SAP, we found that BASIS had missed a step in the BO patching. This step was relating to applying some BW transports in the BW system related to the new Integration toolkit.
Please use below notes for the BW transport task of patching BOE Integration toolkit.
Refer to Note#1472104 which explains about loading the
transports when we install BO Service Packs or Fix Packs. Also please refer to the Note#1271751 for the advice on transports for BW systems.
Please go through page 206 (Configuring transports) in the SAP Integration Kit installation guide. You can download this document at below link.
https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000559912010E/xi31_sp3_bip_sap_inst_en.pdf
Refer to Note#1345919 which explains about the process of loading transports for SAP IK.

How to bulid a Crystal report based on Bex query as source

Hi,
I have requirment where the end user wants the query in Crystal.I built a Bex query in Bex query designer.I would like to know how to create crystal report based onthe Bex query.
Thanks,

Hi
The Crystal Reports are integrated with BW such that the query built in BW can be used to bulit Crystal Reports on them.
After launching the Crystal Reports, you will have and option : "Open reprt from BW" whcih will help you in opening the BW Queries and create Crystal Reports.
Also in the Menu there is an optin SAP-->Create New Report from a Query

Performances with Crystal Reports (based on BW queries)

Hi,
I've created some Crystal reports based on BW queries, and I'm really interested in performances purposes. The BW queries I created are quick (with neither free characteristics nor hierarchies), and when I use them in a Crystal report, I identify a loss of time in the data extraction (BW --> Crystal), in the Crystal management of the layout and then in the publication to BOE.
To be able to use Crystal on BW queries is very useful, but if the response times are too much important, that's not good...
Is there any customizing to perform to get better performance ? Are there some analysis already performed with Performance point of view ?
If you have any best practice or piece of advice to shorten the response time in Crystal reports, I'm really interested in.
Thanks for your replies,
Best regards
Jonathan

Hi,
there are many SDN threads or forums dealing with the integration BW and Crystal.
You should have a look to the forums created by Ingo Hilgefort (SAP expert on the BW-BO integration).
You can start with that one :

Find Triggered report name in the function module.

Hi All,
A function module is being called by many Reports say (100). Now the question is, I need to find out the Triggered report name in the function module where I can do required logic change based on the report. I cannot include an import parameter in the function module to capture the Report name, for this solution I need to change 100 reports. Is there any better way to find the Triggered report name in the Function Module?
thanks in advance.
