Connecting BW Query to Crystal report

Hi all,
I have created report from SAP BW query using SAP toolbar in Crystal Report. I saved my report in BW server. Now I want to Publish the report into BO server.
I read that using BW publisher we can publish into BO server.
What is BW Publisher? How can i publish into BO server using Publisher?
Help me in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Hemalatha J

    see sql query from crystal report without crystal report 

    Hi,
    Depends on datasource type but you could have a look at ODBC trace or if you have access to the SQL Server you could use profiler to monitor the session.

  • Modify SQL query in Crystal Reports 2013

    Bonjour,
    Je voulais savoir s'il était possible de modifier la requête SQL dans Crystal Reports 2013, car les bases de données de notre application pour bibliothèque utilise un format de date particulier qu'il nous faut corriger directement dans la requête SQL.
    Merci pour vos informations.

    Hello,
    I wanted to know if it was possible to modify the SQL query in Crystal Reports 2013. Databases of our application library indeed use a particular date format that we need to fix directly into the SQL query.
    Thank you for your information.
    Best regards

    Hi Claude,
    If you are creating reports using tables then go in Database menu and click on show SQL query, this will show the SQL generated by crystal reports.  Now go in database expert and expend your connection and double click on Add Command and past the query which was generated by Crystal and try to modify the date format and click OK.
    Now you need to redesign your reports based on Add command.
    or
    If your reports datasource is Add command you can directly go in add command and change it.

  • Query regarding Crystal Reports Server

    Hi,
    I am new to Crystal Reports.
    I have created a couple of .rpt files using CR2008 and I am loading these report files in my aspx pages using CrystalReportViewer control.
    I am planning to host my webApp on IIS in production environment. Maximum simultaneous/concurrent connections to my reports would be 1 or 2.
    My question is:
    1. Do I need Crystal Reports Server in this scenario?
    2. In future if the number of concurrent users to report increases then do I need to go for Crystal Reports Server? Will just buying and installing the Crystal reports server on production server work? or will I have to do some configuration or some other changes in the existing deployed reports? OR Will I have to deploy my existing reports on Crystal Report Server again?
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Error when opening a BW query with Crystal Reports

    Hi all,
    I am having problems when opening a BW query with Crystal Reports, the strange thing is that it only happens with
    the bo user I have created. If I use a user that already exists and that has SAP_ALL authorization it works.
    I don't know if this could be an authorizations issue, but I have created a role with all the authorizations stated in the manual.
    The error I am getting is the following:
    "An error occurred while generating a new report template. Error in UNKNOWN.RPT file"
    Does anyone know what this could be?
    Thanks

    Well,
    I cannot access the system now. But I think it is not an issue of authorization, because I assigned all the good user's role to the bo user,
    and even with that, it still don't work.
    Thanks

  • Select Query in Crystal Report

    Dear all,
    I have a report to be developed in which i have to fire more than 2 select quires. I am adding this quires in "Add Command" window, it doesn't give any error but gives output of first query only.
    I have tried to use multiple commands in report but the query fields are not having any common field in it so i am not able to link it.
    Is there any other way to use more than one query in crystal report?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ashish Tambe

    Dear Charles,
    I am willing to develop a report in which i need to select diff data from diff table such as OOPR,ORDR,OINV and many more.based on diff conditions and it may happen that a query can give more than 2-3 records then i need to make summation for that. On the basis of this summation and some more formulas in CR i need to make some conclusions.
    This cannot be done in single query. so i need to fire more than one select query.

  • How to enable show SQL Query in Crystal report tool

    Hi,
    How can we enable the show SQL Query under Database tab in crystal report...
    We have a requirement to modify the SQL query in Crystal reports.
    Thanks,
    Gana

    Gana,
    CR has an "Add Command" feature that will allow you to use hand-coded SQL as your data source.
    Look at Defining an SQL Command in CR's online help (F1).
    If a command was used in the original report creation, it's a simple matter to go in and edit that SQL.
    If the report was not originally built w/ a Command you may find it difficult to switch over. In most cases it easier to start over from scratch, creating a new, blank report, that uses the command.

  • Failing to connect to Oracle from Crystal Reports

    We have a client attempting to connect to 10g using crystal reports. They are getting ora-08001 as an error reported to them. Any ideas what could be causing this?

    I don't know Crystal Reports and what it sends to and requests from the database, but that's the formal description of this error:
    Error: ORA 8001
    Text: maximum number of sequences per session exceeded
    Cause: An operation requested a resource that was unavailable.
    The maximum number of user sequences per session is specified by the
    initialization parameter DC_SEQUENCES.
    When this maximum is reached, no more requests are processed.
    Action: Try the operation again in a few minutes.
    If this error occurs often, shut down Oracle, increase the
    DC_SEQUENCES parameter in the initialization parameter file, and
    restart Oracle.

  • Convert BI query into Crystal Report

    Dear Sir,
    I have drawn a structure in BI query onto Crystal Report,
    my question is that, can I delete one single field from this structure on Crystal Report ?
    'cause when I tried to delete one single field, the whole structure is deleted.
    In addition, can I change the field name(text/description) on Crystal Report ?
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Best Regards,
    Girai

    Hi,
    in Crystal Reports you can still decide which parts of the underlying query you would like to use in the report.
    in case you mean a actual structure in the BW query and having 2 structures overall, one of the structures becomes rows of data in your report and you could if required filter it out.
    In terms of texts - you can for sure create your own headings.

  • Error connecting to database from Crystal Report

    1) running the batch (that generates the report) in SIT environment to call SIT database
    Working fine
    2) running the batch (that generates the report) in SIT environment to call UAT database

    For reading report from BO Server, I have tried viewing the report directly and scheduling the report directly from BO Server and it works fine.
    Also I have tried to 'verify database' on the UAT report, but it seems it didn't solve the issue.
    Does anyone have any idea how to solve this? Or what could cause this?
    Appreciate your help.
    Thanks.

    Here's how I connect to the database
    when reading report from bo server:
    Dim enterpriseSession As CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.EnterpriseSession

                'Create the infostore object
                enterpriseService = enterpriseSession.GetService("InfoStore")
                infoStore = New CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore(enterpriseService)
                infoObjects = infoStore.Query(query)
                If (infoObjects.Count > 0) Then
                    infoObject = infoObjects(1)
                    crDoc.Load(infoObject, enterpriseSession)
                    crDoc.SetParameterValue("@batchID", batchID)

                    Throw New ApplicationException(Constant.APP_ERR & " - Report not found")
                End If
    The error is thrown when trying to export --> crDoc.Export()
    The username and password are correct because it is the same username and password that the batch used to extract the data in the initial stage.
    Here's how my batch works:
    1) Extract and massage data directly from .net SP (this is working fine)
    2) Obtain the report then use the same connection string (for physical path report) or use the report connection string (for bo server report), this report is using Stored Procedure (the problem starts here)
    For reading report from bo server, I have also checked that the connection from the report itself is correct, because we can schedule/view the report from bo server successfully.
    SQL Driver, is it the SQL Native Client you are saying? It's SQL Native Client 10.
    I think we are using Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 Client Tools SP2 in our apps server.

  • Cannot Edit Universe Query in Crystal Reports.

    Hi,
    We have Crystal Reports 2008 SP5 installed on a Terminal Server where our report developers can go to develop reports. We have a 4 node BOXI R2 SP4 cluster on the opposite side of a firewall, and have opened the firewall ports so that Crystal Reports can connect to this BOXI cluster and a universe on that cluster, and the developers can publish their reports.
    For some developers, and the issue is intermittent for them, if they open one of those Crystal Reports to edit the universe query, they go into Database Expert and right click and choose Edit query, nothing happens. The Query Editor window does not open. They don't get any errors, other than the Universe Query editor window refuses to open. No errors on the BOXI server side either.
    They can work for a few days and everything works fine, when suddenly this behavior starts. When they report the issue to me and I try it myself, it works fine. I've checked their access rights repeatedly and have even given a user temporary full admin rights to rule out any rights issues, but they stll get this behavior.Just as strange, the problem suddenly will disappear. Often, they will send me an message several hours or days later stating that everything is OK again and they can edit their universe queries in the same reports that refused to work earlier.
    I've also checked the BOXI cluster nodes to see if possibly one of the services had a missing -requestport setting, and was choosing a random port that the firewall could be blocking, but everything looks fine. If I login to the BOXI cluster servers and try one of the reports, I can edit the query just fine.
    Any suggestions? I'm at my wits end.
    Edited by: Perry Provst on Nov 11, 2010 9:18 PM

    I had the same issue and it was because the Universe is having Oracle as Database and I dont have any Oracle drivers installed on my machine. Once i have installed Oracle drivers i was able to view/edit the query panel.
    Hope this would help you.

  • KBase ID 344488: Logon failed when connecting to universe in Crystal Report

    My question is related to  [KBase Article ID:344488|http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=344488&sliceId=&dialogID=24618166&stateId=1%200%2024614949]
    Article refers to: Crystal Reports XI
    Symptom
    When attempting to create a connection to a universe in Crystal Reports, after clicking OK in the Database Expert Query Panel, the following error message appears:  "Logon failed".
    The query is not generated. In the Universe folder of Database Expert, the following message appears: "u2026no items found".
    I'm running BOE XI and Crystal Report XI R2 with MS SQL Server 2005 using ODBC.
    The resolution psoted in the KBase Article ID:344488 does not resolve the issue in my case.  Does anyone have any ideas on what to look at next?

    Hello Donald,
    I'll describe the process flow when Crystal Report reports off of a Universe, in hopes the info will help narrow down your issue.
    When you create a Crystal Report and open an Universe, it connects to the Enterprise system and uses a Report Server on Enterprise to generate the SQL Statement.   After you create the Query in the Query Panel, and add the Query to the report, the SQL Statement is sent to the Crystal Report Designer. 
    The Crystal Report Designer makes a local connection to the database and sends the SQL Statement to retrieve data.
    You're using ODBC connectivity.  If the defined ODBC isn't identical between the server where the Report Server is running, and the client where the Crystal Report Designer is running, then you'd get the Logon failed error.
    Other than checking the drivers, I'd recommend that the ODBC connection on both server and client point to the same database, and allow use of the same database logon credentials.
    Sincerely,
    Ted Ueda
