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.

You need to have the BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP. Integration Kit provides the database drivers and other features for reporting off SAP,to access sap objects into BO or Crystal Reports

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

   "Failed to retrieve data from database. Details : [Database Vendor Code : 156]"
   This report perfectly work while open in crystal report outside from SAP.

Hepil Doshi

Dear Experts,
I face the exactly same problem, please forgive if i am not suppose to ask the same question in other people thread.
I am using SAP 8.8, PL09, SQL Server 2005, the Crystal Report is working perfectly after import into SAP B1.
However, when i do the same configuration in my customer server, the error message prompt:
Failed to retrieve data from the database.

Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Error in File Temp {8090e857-e2a3-4fa9-80dc-9e776e5991b8}{0912E6A5-88EF-406C-BD89-0155AE10F045}.rpt:

The server is using SAP 8.8, PL09, with SQL Server 2008.

Moved to .NET SDK forums
First issue is CR 10 has not been tested nor is it supported in VS 2010.
To use CR in VS 2010 download [CR for VS 2010|Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 Production Release Now Available;
Likely what your problem is is you are not setting or replacing the database connection info but without more info I can't suggest how to fix it. It could also be that you have set your framework to 4.0, CR 10 is FW 1.1 or possibly 2.0 only.
Or you may even be trying to use the craxddrt.dll which is again no longer supported not are you licensed to use it or distribute it.
Also you'll likely run into version problems with IIS. I believe CR 10 only supported IIS 5 but check the platforms PDF for more info.
Good luck.

Connect Crystal report with FI Data through MAXDB ERP Tables or Datasources

Hi,
I want to create crystal report queries for SAP ERP FI Data. The source system database is MAXDB.
How can i connect the maxDB database or ERP to crystal report?
Do i need tables or datasources to create queries, and how do i connect them to crystal report.
I will thankful for any help.
Kind regards
Arnaud

I would recommend to take a look here:
BOBJ and SAP R/3
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/03/23/businessobjects-and-sap-part-4
The drivers I am talking about will be available in the CR Designer once you install the BO integration kit for SAP solutions.
If you try to access directly the underlying MAX DB database you will not have access to all data since SAP ERP stores the data partially compressed in the database tables.

Run a Crystal Report ( with SAP BW Query ) on BO XI R2 SP2

Hi SAP Guru,
In one customer, we want integrate SAP BI 7.0 on Business Objects XI R2 SP2 ( Full Control Right ) to delivery dedicated reports to target users ( Scheduling )
We strart with a simple query that it works fine on Bex..
The integration Kit for SAP was installed on BO server and transports on SAP BW Server (based on Thread of Ingo).
For scheduling, I create a Business View based on my BW query and I create my crystal report. Everything work fine, when I launch my report localy on my desktop.
The problem arrives when I want schedule my report on the CMC or in infoview. I received a error message :
Failed to open the connection. D:ApplBusiness ObjectsBusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5DataprocSched - system - ~tmp148860c59ff44c6.rpt
I try to schedule a report without Business View but I receive the same message.
Questions :
1 ) Is the Integation Kit for SAP is enable for this environement ( SAP BI 7.0 and BO XI R2 SP2 ) ?
2) Have you any suggestion of resolution for my problem ?
If you need more info, I will update my thread..
Thanks in advance for your help...
Cédric

Thanks for your quick reply !!!
are you able to run your report on-demand in the InfoView?
--> I receive my error when I open/run the report.
Which version of CR Designer are you using?
--> CR 11.5.9
Any chance to upgrade? There is already SP6 available for XI R2.
--> We project to migrate to R3.1 this year but we want to show report earlier ( if it's possible on R2 of course ).

Crystal reports with SAP BI Infocube

All,
I need to create a report from the BW Infocube . I have the SAP integration installed and working properly and I am able to create reports from Bex queries, but I am unable to see any Infocubes in the. Do I need to generate the Infocube as an export data source in order to use this as the data source for generating the report in Crystal reports? Any advise....

Tanu,
If you want to see your BEX Queries on Crystal reports then there is setting you have do in your Bex Queries. On the Bex query design choose your query properties and on your far right hand side you will see the properties tabs with General, variable Sequence etc. you will also see Tab " Advanced" choose that tab and select the check box "Allow External Access to this Query". you will be able to see your query on Crystal report .
Hope it helps,
Cheers,
Balaji

Hi,
For functions to be used in a report, they must meet two conditions:

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?
