Can I create one single crystal report using 2 bex queries

HI all,
I have 2 bex queries and has to develope a single crystal report .Is it possible???? If so, than how to connect two bex queries and develope one single crystal report.Any other option is also fine. I mean ....no need to use crystal..( I can go for one single webi..).But need to know the approach ...
or else...can I create universe on 1 bex and other universe on other bex ..and go for one single webi report..
Only problem is client is particular about one single report(either crystal or webi)
if i go for webi ...I know we can use link universe option but I dont know whether it works fro OLAP environment.
Please let me know if I can link OLAp universes and go for 1 single webi report.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mahathi

You can use either CR or WebI.
In CR Designer create the report using the SAP toolbar (Create report from query) based on the 1st BEx query. Then use the Database expert (first entry in the Database menu) to add an additional connection to your 2nd BEx query (+Create new connection->SAP BW DX query). You can then join the results of the 2 different queries in the database expert also.. Please note that if you do NOT want to join the result sets, then it is more efficient to use subreports. Create two different CR reports, each based on one of the BEx queries and then use one of those as your main report and insert the other one into it as subreport. Once embedded you do not have to keep the separate .rpt file of your second report.
For Webi you must build 2 universes, each based on one of your BEx queries. In your report you can add multiple queries based on different universes. You can join the results sets here by using the Merge dimensions button in the report editor area.
Regards,
Stratos
PS; Keep in mind that joining a large number of rows at report level (either in CR or WebI) can cause performance problems. If this is your requirement, how many rows do you expect to get back from each individual query?

Creating BO or Crystal reports using SAP - R3 - Possible?

Hi,
Is it possible to create Business objects or crystal report with just SAP R3 system (without using SAP BW)?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Subbu S

Hi,
In latest release in BOXI3 we have option BO and SAP integration kit.whilt installing you need to install this integration kit i.e. how we are installing Deski and designer.
Once you have install this option we can directly use SAP R3 source and we can gentrate reports and we can use SAP R3 source table in to universe desing and we can design universe. Once universe desing done we can use this universe for report creation.

Creating hierarchies in crystal reports on BEx Hierarchies

Dear Experts,
I was trying to create a crystal report in Crystal enterprise
on BEx Hierarchical report as a source. But when I executed
a query with all objects including hierarchical objects its giving
detail output.
Why is it giving detail output instead of hierarchical report output.
My requirement was to create hierarchical report.
Pls help me with step by step details to complete this task at the earliest.
Thanks in advance.

Display structure in crystal report using structure created in BEx.

I created a structure in BEx query designer and trying to display the structure as a hierarchy in crystal report.
Iam not able to accomplish it. the crystal report is displaying the structure with no nodes. please help

Hi,
in case you created a BEx query with 2 structure - one for keyfigures and one as characteristic structure - then the structure for the characteristics will result in Crystal REports using the BW MDX Driver as a single field and each element of the structure will result in a row of data.

Creating a crystal report using excel

I have an excel spreadsheet that I would like to access to create a crystal reports. But it seems that I have to first save it as an access or other database file. But this information changes frequently so I it would be more efficient to access the excel file directly. I tried using the crystal wizard addin in excel, but then when I run the report I get the error message "Server has not yet been opened". Any other ideas on how to create report of excel data directly?

Hello Guys ,
I have something similar problem ,but not exactly.
our requirement is We are scheduling one crystal report to generate excel and sent to FTP location.This Excel file (in FTP) should be the input of new Crystal Report using ODBC (RDO) connection.
I am able to create the ODBC connection,but that ODBC connection is not showing me the selected excel sheet in the Crystal Report ODBC Connection.I tried with Remote as well as local drive Excel also.
I tried on different machine (thought ,it could be Driver specific),but all machines does have same issue.
Is there any settings or driver upgrades require for CR XI R2 /2008 in order to use ODBC (RDO) for EXCEL FILES.I didnt find any comments /resolution in Google too.
My steps -
1) Create a sample Excel file - only few records
2) Created a System ODBC connection pointing this excel file say "TEST1"
3) Opened A Blank Crystal Report
4) Create a New connection
5) Select ODBC RDO
6) Create new connection and selected the newly created SYSTEM DSN "TEST1"
7) check the selected excel is displayed in ODBC RDO connection??
If it is a Crystal Report issue or ODBC Driver issue ,please let me know if anyone have came across similar issues.
thanks in advance.

I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad, but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself. Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad, but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself. Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

How to create crystal reports using MSDE 2000?

Post Author: S_Muhilan
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,
I am using Crystal report 8.5. My Database sqlserver 2000. I generated reports and are working fine.
Now I want to use MSDE 2000 instead of Sqlserver 2000 due to license factor.
My application is developed in VB 6. The all the parts of the application is working fine except the report.
All reports produced Database DLL error.
So I opened the report and try to verify the database. But it gives pdssql.dll not found. Database error.
After this error, I tried to create a new report and found that there is no option for MSDE 2000 database selection under more database.
I usually select Sql server 2000 database under More Database option of location wizard.
How to create crystal reports using MSDE 2000?
Is it due to crystal report 8.5 verison problem? I also have crystal report 11 licensed copy.
Please give me the good solution as early as possible
RegardsS. Muhilan

Single Crystal Report based on Five different SAP BEx Quries.

Hi,
I need to create 5 different Charts (in a single report) based on five different SAP BW BEx Queries. These are charts with 3- axes i.e. X,Y,Z.
The example requirement is to create Line charts (Vertical Mixed Line Charts) and deatils are as follows: The chart should show CPU Utilization % for different servers (eg. Servers1,2,3,4,5) for each day in a particular month.
Axes details:
X- Axis - Date eg: 01 /09/2010 to 30/09/2010
Y-Axis - CPU Utilisation Percent
Z-Axis - Servers from 1 to 5
The above detailed chart comes from a BEx Query . In this way there are four more BEx queries which should give four other charts.
My queries are:
1. Is this possible to create a single report using five different BEx queries and Create 5 different charts(one chart from each BEx Query) in a single tab as in the current manual report.(All the five Line charts should be downloadable to a single sheet in Excel)
2. One more, should I use Crystal Reports only? The charts are of high format natute so Web Intelligence will not produce the same. Is any other tool that helps for this requirement.
3. I can create five different Universes based on BEx Queries. Is this possible to create a single report from five different Universes.
Please advise.
Nanda Kishore.
Edited by: Nanda Kishore B on Oct 21, 2010 8:05 AM

To start with you cannot use SAP BW universes in Crystal Reports., YOu have to use the BW MDX driver.
For performance reasons I would suggest to add 4 subreports into your main reports containing each on of the 4 remaining charts.

Stratos

Merging two Queries in single crystal report lauout

Hi All,
I need to show two reports from two different BEx queries in a single crystal report layout. The queries are independent of each onther and having their selection variables. I have implemented two subreports for two queries in a main report. Now the problem i am facing is, though both the queries are having same slection(Profit Centre and Fiscal Per/Year), they are getting repeated in crystal report parameter screen. I have to enter the values for selections for each report.
Is there any method to merge the selections for both reports if they are same, so that i can enter the selections only once?
Thanks in Adv,
Shubhramukta.

Hi,
I have two queries in BEx having Selections. Query 1 is having selections (Profit centre and Fiscal Per/Yr) and query 2 is having same selections as well(i.e. Profit centre and Fiscal Per/Yr). I have created two reports corresponding to these queries have used as subreports in a main report using Crystal report 2008. When i run the main Crystal report, it automatically prompts for values to be entered, as variables are set at BEx query level.
Though both the reports are having same selection variables, crystal report asks to enter values two times , once for each report, and it is obvious.
Parameters are Crystal parameters.
Is there any method to merge the parameters,is selection variables are same, so that it will ask only once?
Thanks

Crystal reports using xml at run time??

Post Author: avnkkishore
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I have very simple requirement.
I would like to create a crystal
report using XML. This
XML file will be decided at run time
(not at design time).
Hence i have added a crystal report viewer control to my windows form and did
not choose any data source (i left it blank currently). Now i am trying to load
XML file with the following simple code.
            PropertyBag
crLogOnDetails = new PropertyBag();
crLogOnDetails["Local XML File"] = @"C:\Hosts.xml";
crLogOnDetails["Local Schema File"] = @"C:\Hosts.xsd";
ConnectionInfo conn = new ConnectionInfo();
conn.Attributes = crLogOnDetails;
            // create
"Host" table
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table tbl;
            tbl = new
CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table();
            tbl.Name =
"Host";
tbl.ConnectionInfo = conn;
rcDoc.DatabaseController.AddTable(tbl, null);
I am getting exception exactly at the above line (i.e. when adding table to
Database Controller) saying "COMException was unhandled" with error code
0x80004005 Unspecified error.
Can any one please help me regarding how to resolve this.
Thanks in advance,

<inl:First_Name>Betty</inl:First_Name>
<inl:Last_Name>Boop</inl:Last_Name>

</root>
Crystal report column will be generated using this xml file.
my report look like--
First Name Last Name
Anna Ant
Betty Boop
Thanks
Praveen

can you please be more detailed on what you mean automatically
like put the xml file together and have the report generated without actually attaching the dataset to the rpt file and placing the fields in the report?
if that is the case i dont believe crystal functions that way, been working with it for many years. i know you can create webi files through business objects where an end user can talk an dataset and build there own queries and rpt files on a dashboard type screen.

Can I create one single crystal report using 2 bex queries
