Hi - have you installed the SAP Integration Kit, as mentioned here? http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/businessobjects-bi-for-sap/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
Separately, I recommend going with Crystal for Enterprise with BW; lately SAP has said to only use Crystal Reports 2013 if you need more functionality with SAP ERP than Crystal for Enterprise

  • SAP tab in Crystal Reports 2013 issue

    We are using SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP3 to build reports on BEX queries (BW 7.2). Creating a report via 'File' --> New connection --> BW MDX driver works fine, I can select bex queries & cubes and see the data. However SAP provided tab 'SAP' does not work as expected. When adding a new bex query using SAP--> Create new report from a query, I can see the list of queries and select one but it does not open and throws the following error -
    "An error occurred while generating a new report templete.
    No error"
    Using the "File" option any change to the .rpt file forces BO admin to update "DB logon" information in CMC (currently i cannot save .rpt file directly on enterprise from Crystal client due to some issue)  and we want to avoid this kind of maintainence using SAP authentication provided by using SAP tab, also the Crysal report prompts when run from BI launch pad request for prompt values twice (once for the report and once to pull list of values for each prompt) which can be avoided using SAP tab. I thought access to dev BW server is fine since the "File" tab works fine. Our BASIS team confirmed BOBJ dev servers have access to BW gateway. Am I missing something here, please help me with your experience and ideas to troubleshoot this as the only solution i could google was from a 2012 SAP recommended article to fix reginfo configuration files on SAP server
    I reinstalled Crystal Reports client twice to make sure intallation was not the issue.
    Thanks

    Search for the error and you should see many threads for this issue.
    Anyway, this is what I found:

  • Crystal Reports 2013 on SAP BW

    Hi Gurus,
    We are trying to establish connection between Crystal Reports 2013 and SAP BW 7.4. Could you please let us know whether we can create Crystal Reports on following BW objects or not?
    -BW BEx Reports
    -BW Cubes
    -BW DSOs
    -BW Master data Info Objects
    -BW Multi Provider
    Regards
    Viswanath

    Hi Manoj,
    Using the SAP BW MDX Query driver, you can design formatted Crystal reports that are based on data that is stored in SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW). You base these reports either on queries that are created with SAP Business Explorer (BEx) Query Designer, or directly on the cubes in BW.
    See this : Crystal Reports 2011: Connect to an SAP BW data source

  • Crystal Reports 2013 OLAP connection server types

    I wrote a Crystal Reports 2013 report using the OLAP Cube Report Wizard.  In the wizard, it prompted for OLAP data and Select Cube was chosen.  In the OLAP connection browser window, Add was chosen.  In Server type, Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 10.0 was chosen.  The report was then finished and worked fine.  However, on a different PC, that Server type is not found if trying to re-create.  Can anyone tell me what client tools must be installed on a PC for the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 10.0 to show in the Server type of an OLAP connection.  We tried installing just the OLE DB provider and now it shows under OLE DB connections but not under the OLAP Connections.
    As an added question, does anyone know what must be installed on the Business Objects 4.0 server in order to publish the same report using an OLAP connection to Bus Objects?  We have tried creating an OLAP Connection that works fine but the report does not seem to be using that type connection.  I'm guessing it needs the client tool that will answer the first question.

    Hi Nate
    I'm a little unsure of where this is not working - WIN 7? MS 2003 Server?
    What's the font problem you saw?
    What database are you connecting to?
    Is the ProvideX" ODBC driver supported on WIN 7 / WIN 2003?
    Can you connect to the database via ODBC using any other software? I's like you to try SQLConn, see what that tells you.

  • Cannot connect Crystal Reports 2013 to ERP

  • Crystal Reports 2013 java-error "java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.crystaldecisions..." when promoting

    Hi,
    when promoting "Crystal Report 2013" report (with data connectivity BW MDX Query) from BO DEV to BO PROD with BO Promotion Mgmt (LCM), we get the following error message in LCM jobs history:
    Resolution Status=Overwritten, Dependency Status=All the required dependencies are included.,
    Commit Status=Commit attempted and failed.,
    Promotion Status=Failure : Object promoted. Update failed.
    Error: java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ByteArray:java.net.URLClassLoader@1d634758 incompatible
    with class com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.PropertyBag:java.net.URLClassLoader@1d634758
    The report itself is present on BO PROD, but the overwrite (BW DEV MDX Query-> BW PROD MDX Query) is not applied, so report connectivity still points to the BW Query on the development system :-( .
    Moreover, the overwrite itself is detected when the job is "test promoted" ("active overwrite").
    Before, we successfully were able to transport crystal reports 2013 with overwrite (the connection then pointed to BW PROD). No idea yet what suddenly changed that...
    Any ideas what causes the error and what can fix it (no posts found, no SAP note, google also no hits)?
    Best regards
    Florian Pitschi

    Update:
    After more investigation, it looks as if the BO Server "CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer"
    from time to time has an issue - not only when promoting, but also when viewing publications that contain Crystal Report documents or when executing them, the java class error or similar issue is thrown.
    Did sb face similar behaviour and knows what is the root cause for "CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer" not working probably and throwing the java-class error? - it was running fine for several months, now, the class error showed up twice in one month.
    We need to find out what is causing the issue (aleady checked tomcat and BO-logfiles...).
    Best Regards
    Florian

  • How to configure crystal report 2013 with oracle 11g

    hey all,
         i download trial version SAP Crystal Report 2013 and i have Database with 11g and i want to connect with my database and try to develop reports
    but my issue is that i'm not able to connect with database. Can anyone please help to connect with database.
    i am new be with oracle database so it will help me if any one go thru step by step or any link,

    Hi Sandip,
    All you need is a 32-bit Oracle driver to be installed on the machine you're developing the reports on.
    If you already have both the 64-bit and the 32-bit drivers, make sure the Path variable under 'system variables' points to the 32-bit home.
    You can then either create an ODBC DSN or use the 'Oracle Server' native driver that shows under 'Database Expert' to create the report.

  • Redistributable components of crystal report 11 and Crystal Report 2013

    Currently we are facing a peculiar problem where we are having a report with 5 tables and connected using the default crystal report db connectivity.
    The report was created in a very old version of crystal report 8.5 and we have been migrating the same to latest versions.
    When i execute the report from my Application using crystal report 11 run-time components installed it works perfectly (5 Secs). In this we were using the viewer ole control embedded in our application.
    But when the same report is opened up from the application using the crystal report 2013 run-time components there is performance lag of 15 Secs every time using the viewer as separate control using C# .net framework 4.0. 
    Also Installing crystal report 11 run-time and then installing crystal report 2013 run-time resolves the issue.
    Can someone let me know if we are missing something.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Satish VS

    Hi Bhushan
    Thanks for your prompt reply
    - The old application was it a .NET or COM SDK app?
    Old application uses the COM SDK App ( CrystalRuntime.Application) developed in VB & consumed the same as an Ole object in Power builder.
    - What version of VS are you using? (Earlier and now).
    Earlier With Crystal report 11 we were directly deploying the viewer as ole control in our Powerbuilder application
    Now we are using VS2010 with .net framework 4.0 as separate viewer control
    - Is this a windows or a web application?
    Its an windows application
    - Provide the version no of CR 11 you used earlier?
    Old Application uses crystal report 11.0.0.1282
    - There are no runtimes for crystal report 2013, so could you please provide the version no for the crystal report 2013 runtimes you are using? You could check the file version of crystaldesicions.crystalreport.engine assembly.
    Yes we are using crystaldecision run-time  and the version is 13.0.2000.0 & Runtime version - v2.0.50727
    - As runtimes, did you use MSM, MSi or ClickOnce CR runtimes do deploy your application?
    We were using this CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi as a pre-requisite before deploying our application.
    -Also, if you could elaborate on how did you upgrade / migrate the application and deployed it, would be helpful.
    In my old application we would be using the default crystal report 11 merge module to be deployed alongwith our application msi.
    To upgrade they would install the CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi  and then deploy our application msi.
    Please let me know if you need any further information.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Upgrade from Crystal report 8 to Crystal report 2013

    Dear all,
    Need some information pertaining to upgrade of Crystal report 8 to Crystal report 2013 (to be invoked from thick client .NET applications)
    Is it possible to directly upgrade from 8 to 2013 ? Or should there be a move to intermediate version before going to 2013 ?
    How is the upgrade generally done ? (do we just open the report and save in new version, or do they have any upgrade wizard)
    What are the typical issues we may face while going from lower version to higher version (I understand queries may break, format and layout may change.  Are there any other issues specific to upgradation.
    Regards,
    Jain

    Hi Jain,
    Moved your post to .NET Forums.
    Since CR 8.0 is 12 or more years old there is no "upgrade path" now. The Database drivers have all changed and the Parameter API's have also.
    Best way is to get CR 2011 and manually open each and every report and update the DB connection using the Set Table Location, this requires updating the DB Client to current versions also.
    Note there are some old legacy DB sources no longer available so that can be a problem also.
    CR 8 is not Side By Side compatible with any other version so make sure it's not installed on the same PC. It will never work and cause all sorts of problems for you.
    Basic report layout stayed the same but Printing has changed a lot also so search here, lots of post on the subject.
    For more help need to know your data source also?
    And check the Overview Tab, on the left side, lots of resources and samples to get you started.
    Also, first warning is set your project to X86 and the full Framework, do not use the Client version.
    And the SDK is no longer shipped with CR Designer install, VS installer and redist packages are all available from here:

  • Cannot load report from server in Crystal Reports 2013 Viewer

    Hello,
    I am having trouble opening a report that is hosted on a Crystal Reports Server (2013) from the Crystal Viewer.  I've created and uploaded the reports using the report designer (version 2013).  The reports have been uploaded using the "Save As -> Enterprise" to save to my enterprise server.  This part works fine.  I then navigated to the Crystal Reports Viewer to open my report (that I just uploaded w/ the designer) from the server.  Depending on the report, one of two things happens:
    1.) I get a loading bar at the bottom right of the screen that says "Operation in progress . . ." followed by an error message:
    Unable to Refresh Report
    A problem occurred while refreshing on the server. The report may not be configured properly for refresh.
    Please contact your server administrator. (me)
    2.) I get a loading bar at the bottom right of the screen that says "Refreshing <file name of the report> (<server name>)" followed by... nothing.  The loading bar goes away and nothing happens.  It goes back to the screen that shows when the application first loads (blank canvas).
    I've taken some basic troubleshooting steps to try and rule out any potential issues that came to mind, but I've not been successful.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
