Cant save a Crystal Report on SAP BW

Hello,

I have installed the sap integration kit and when i press the SAVE Button in Crystal Reports 2008, i get the Returncode 471. Original message in german: "Fehler beim Speichern und/oder Veröffentlichen. Rückgabecode 471 wurde vom Server zurückgegeben". Anybody knows what to do?

Hi Timma,
There might be some dll's missing on your machine while re-installing or uninstalling any of the products.
SO, it is suggested you to completely remove all the products on the machine and then try to go with fresh installation.
Thanks,
Naveen.

Error when saving Crystal Report to SAP BW (via SAP toolbar)

Dear Experts -
Our landscape is:
Backend - SAP BW7.4 with Service pack 5
Crystal Version - Crystal Reports 2013 SP1 Patch 6
Business Objects - SAP BI 4.1 SP1 Patch 6
I'm trying to save a crystal report to SAP BW via the toolbar option, but the attached error is being returned.
Also, if I try to create a new report from BW, an error is thrown. 'An error occurred while generating a new report template; No error'.
Any feedback/pointers would be valuable.
Regards,
Tarun.

I realize this post is a few months old, but did S. B. O. Shell Business One get this issue cleared up by installing the BW transports mentioned in Josh's reply? I'm interested in knowing whether this was resolved as we are receiving the same error as the one shown in the initial post.

Crystal Report and SAP BW and BOE Server

Hi,
I have installed the following on my local PC:
1) Crystal Report (51038906 CRYSTAL REPORTS 2008 V1 SP3 Win Server on IA32 32bit) on my local machine.
2) SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP3 (follow Ingo's document, but under the "Component", I only select the "Client" as I installed this on my local machine)
In Crystal Report, I can build new report on top of SAP BW Query. I can save into BW System via menu SAP ->Save as
In Crystal Report, menu File ->Save as, there I have the option Enterprise. When I click on the Enterprise, I can logon and save the crystal report into the BOE folder that I created, but encountered this error:
Failed to commit objects to server:
Create operation fails
Do you know what's the problem?
At the moment, I have installed BOE XI 3.1 SP2 and SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP2 on the BOE Server. Do you think this is the cause of the problem (I am using SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP3 on my local PC)?
Any help will be appreciated.

To start with there is no SP1 for XI 3.1
The version number 12.x.y.z can be read as follows:
12 means that you have BusinessObjects XI 3.something
x is the Service Pack Number. If x=1 this means that BOE XI 3.1 is installed. XI 3.1 is considered to be BO XI 3.0 with SP1.
z is the number of fix pack.Note that 0 means that you do not have any Fix Pack installed.
So if you see something like:
12.2.4.z
you can assume that you have BO XI 3.1 with SP 2 and FIx Pack 2.4 installed
In your case
12.1.0.z
means that you have BOE XI 3.1 installed.

Crystal reports over SAP r/3 tables

I am trying to write a Crystal report over SAP r/3 tables (BSIK and LFA1) with no success.
I have CRpts installed along with the "client side" SAP integration kit. When i try to create a new connection to my development ERP system i am asked to select an available system, but the dialogue box is empty. I can however connect to a SAP BW query successfully using the SAP toolbar that has been added when installing the integration kit.
Is there anywhere a set if instructions to successfully install and configure CRpts to report over SAP r/3 tables ?
Andrew Fox

Make sure to define an environment variable called SAPLOGON_INI_FILE in the system your CR designer is installed on. The variable should contain the path to your SAPlogon.ini file including the file name. eg if saplogon.ini is found under c:\Windows then the variable shoud be set to c:\Windows\saplogon.ini . Restart the CR designer and try again.
If the system list remains empty then locate to saplogon.ini file, open it using Notepad and choose the Save as option. All you have to do is to overwrite the existing file (ie. do not change the name) after changing the encoding to UTF-8 (drop-down list at the bottom of the Save as window)

Publish Crystal Reports to SAP NetWeaver Portal

We are trying to publish Crystal Reports to SAP NetWeaver Portal. So far we found that we always have to save to BusinessObjects Enterprise first, and then we found the ID from Crystal Reports in the InfoView. After that, we put that ID in our iView using PAR template. Here are our questions:
(1) After we save Crystal Reports to BW server, how can we run that report from BW without saving to BusinesObjects Enterprise?
(2) Can we directly publish Crystal Reports to SAP NetWeaver Portal without saving to BusinessObjects Enterprise first?
Thanks a lot for your answers!
Paul

Thanks for the answers. From your answer, I believe what you are trying to say is that we need to save Crystal Reports to BusinessObjects Enterprise no matter what. We need to save Crystal Reports to BOE first, and then we need to have BOE in order to run Crsytal Reports.
>> Yes
Then we can publish our Crystal Reports saved in BOE to iVew in SAP NetWeaver Portal. Wether we save Crytal Reports to BW is not necesary.
> correct. That is your choice but remember that saving to BW does come with benefits such as an integration into transports.
This also means that we cannot just create Crystal Reports, save it to BW, publish it to SAP NetWeaver Portal, and run it from SAP NetWeaver Portal w/o BOE. Please correct me if I am wrong
>> correct

Crystal Reports and SAP BW 7

Hi,
I have been reading these posts and got bit confused.
What do I need to integrate Crystal Reports and SAP BW 7 without BOE. My company has SAP NW license and Crystal Reports Enterprise license and plan to use CR for formatted reporting. Do I still need integration kit into SAP BW in order to create crystal reports on BEx queries and save into BW and view through the SAP NW Portal?
Or am I fine without integration kit?
many thanks

Based on the below Ingo's blog in BI expert we would only need the following:
You must install Crystal Reports Designer on the client
You must install the client components for the BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP Solutions
You must install an SAP front end with the SAP NetWeaver BI 7.X Add-On and the SAP BW 3.5 Add-On components on the client when using the connectivity on top of SAP NetWeaver BI
Users need to have the necessary authorizations in the SAP system. For SAP NetWeaver BI, this means that users require the authorizations to view and execute BI queries. There are additional authorizations for SAP ERP access in authorizations class ZSSI that are specific to the connectivity that BusinessObjects provides.
You must release the BI queries that you want to use with Crystal Reports for external access. You can set this property in the BI Query Designer.
So, no mention of BOE.

How to add/create additional page in Crystal Report Layout SAP B1

Hi,
I wanna ask about How to add/create additional page in Crystal Report Layout SAP B1 ?
I want when user print Purchase Order then on last page also print some page like Penalty Clause etc.
Pls help me to find the solution.
Br,
Thomas Marsetyo

Hi,
In your report footer, set it to create a new page before it is printed (In 'Section Expert', select the Report Footer -> 'Paging' tab -> Check 'New Page Before' checkbox). Throw your Terms & Conditions into the Report Footer section.
If you already have a Report Footer that you want to keep, just split the footer into two sections (Right-click the Report Footer section -> 'Insert Section Below') and follow the same procedure for the newly created section.

Problem opening Crystal Report from SAP GUI through VPN

Hi Everyone,
I am facing an issue with opening the crystal report from SAP BW Role menu(SAP GUI). The issue is only with the BW Users who are connecting to the Client systems through VPN. All the settings are done perfectly in the Transaction /CRYSTAL/RPTADMIN and SICF for the CE_URL.
For those who are in the client network it works fine. Please see the URLs generated in both the cases,below.
From Client N/W
[http://sapbobj:8080/SAP/jsp/Action_Dispatch/dispatch.jsp?sap_client=100&cmsname=sapbobj:6400&language=EN&sap_sysid=D40&bw_id=4HUFYJ3XBZ7QLP5HIDYPR7PR6&sap-client=100&actionName=SAP_CrystalReport_View&appKind=InfoView&service=%2FInfoViewApp%2Fcommon%2FappService.do&loc=&initialFolderId=null]
Through VPN
[http://sapbwd.abc.com:8100/sap/bw/ce_url?(ce_protcl):(DS)(ce_server)/(ce_path_pr)/viewreport.csp(Q)bw_id=4HUPI3I78CG4S4EDH7XSDP736&sap_sysid=(sysid)&sap_client=100&language=EN&sap-client=100]
where "sapbobj" is the BOBJ system and "sapbwd" is the SAP BW Dev box.
For me it seems to be something related to the N/W. Please provide me your valuable inputs to solve this issue.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
Basically Crystal report run with SQL statement, I would suggest to do well performance tuning on SQL query / Store Procedure.
Structure your query in DBA manner that will make some how faster such as use ( inner join, less condition,...)..
also if it simple query then use Command in Crystal report rather store Procedure..that make some how Faster your report.
Thanks

STEP 3: Add a Windows Form to your Project.
STEP 4: Add a Crystal Report Control to it.
