  • Connecting Crystal Reports to SAP BW BEx query

    Post Author: mfrank
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    We have used Crystal Enterprise 8.5 to connect to an SAP BW BEx query in the past, however we are having some difficulties.  Rather than trying to upgrade our old CE system, I've been told that we should be able to connect Crystal Reports (2008?) directly to the BW BEx query.  I've been trying to accomplish this, but can't seem to find any drivers that will allow the connectivity.  When I try to set up a connection using OLAP, the only two options listed are Hyperion and Microsoft OLAP.  I have an old version of Brio Query (now Hyperion, now Oracle) that does show up with a driver for BW, but this doesn't show up in my Crystal options.
    Can someone give me some advice as to how to connect Crystal Reports to SAP BW?  I realize there are licensing issues with running live data without using Crystal Enterprise (or later BO products), but I'm just looking to print a report to a PDF.
    Thanks

  • Database Connection error in Crystal Reports using SAP BW system

    Hi,
    While using Crystal Reports in trying to build a report on the SAP Query in SAP/BW System using the MDX driver, I am able to get the structure of the query fields into the report but on the other hand while trying to refresh the report for data I am getting the error message u201C Failed to connect to the databaseu201D . This database  connection error occurs despite the fact that the SAP server authentication details being entered on Refreshing the report is correct.
    What could be the possible reason? Any guess...
    Thanks,
    Amogh

    Hi,
    Yes, I am using the MDX driver. 
    Is there any pre-requisites of importing certain ABAP transports into SAP Server since I haven't done any? Please  recommend.
    Thanks,

  • Connecting Crystal report with SAP MAX DB DATABASE

    Hi friends,
    Can we connect SAP MAXDB database with crystal report to generate reports.
    If yes pls give me steps to do the same.
    basically we want to generate few reports in crystal report(separate from SAP ABAP)
    rgds

    > Can we connect SAP MAXDB database with crystal report to generate reports.
    Technically that's possible -y es.
    > basically we want to generate few reports in crystal report(separate from SAP ABAP)
    You can use the SAP standard tools (SAP Query - SQ00) or Quick Views (SQVI) to do the same in ABAP.
    If you connect to the database with an external tool you have to use a user who has ALL permissions on the database, means, a full table can accidentally be deleted. The user can also use ALL tables.

  • 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.
    Thanks

  • Connect crystal report to SAP

    I have downloaded a trial version of crystal rpt. But can I connect to SAP to try out? Thx

    Hi there,
    yes you can.
    You need to install BOE and SAP Integration Kit. These are also availiable for 30 days trial versions.
    You also need to install some packages (transports) on your BW-system to get the best performance of connecting CR to BW.
    Kind regards
    /martin
    PS. I wasn't sure if you meant SAP ERP or BW. Which one is it you want to connect to?

  • Crystal reports 2013 , SAP MDX Driver not able to connect with BW BEX Query

    Hi All,
    We just installed Crystal 2013, and want to create crystal report on SAP BW CUBE/BEX Query through SAP MDX Driver.
    1.When start connecting through SAP MDX Query option from new connection , SAP Systems which are in SAPLOGON are not appearing in initial screen. where as from OLAP Connection we are able to connect to SAP BEX Query.
    2.Even from SAP Tool kit we are not able to connect to BEX query, we are getting ERROR MESSAGE.
    and we are using SAP BI BO PLATFORM 4.1 sp01 .
    Please suggest me , if I am missing any configuration settings.
    Regards,
    Joseph

    Hi Joseph,
    Before you start building the report, make sure the right transports have been loaded on the SAP System. The right Transport files are the ones found inside the installation zip you download from SAP's server. They're under the "Collaterals\Add-Ons\SAP\Transports" folder.
    For more info on Transports, authorizations etc, please have your BASIS admin go through this wiki:
    Crystal Reports 2008 and BW - Installation and Configuration - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
    To resolve your first issue, please follow the steps from this thread:
    Problems with SAPLogon.ini for SAP GUI and Crystal 2011
    P.S: Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.1 does a better job at handling BEx queries that the CR 2013 designer. It directly connects to BEx queries via the BICS connectivity driver and doesn't need the Transports to be there on the SAP System. You might want to give this flavour of CR a try too.

  • Connection between Crystal Report and SAP ECC

    Hi. can you help me please.
    I'm testing the connection between Crystal Report and SAP ECC. I tried using the tables,
    but by making the links between foreign keys does not bring data. The other way I tried was using an ABAP function module,
    but using this way, Crystal will only works like a Presentation Layer because all the work was did it in ABAP;
    besides that shows the limitation that I can not pass as input a table.
    what is the best practice for reporting on SAP ECC using Crystal Report?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Crystal Reports is able to leverage tables, ABAP functions, SAP query and InfoSets.
    what is the issue when using the tables ?

    is your report running inside SAP b1 or directly from crystal report in system where you developed it
    In Client you need to install .net framework 3.5 and Crystal Run time to run reports.
    in the client make sure the shared directory is accessible from run without any password
    and in the add on go to report properties and set the path to the shared folder .rpt files and apply changes
    use OLE DB connection

    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
