Convert abap reports into crystal reports

Hi,
We are trying to convert abap reports into crystal reports.We could convert these reports into XML files
Now we want to create utility which will automate the conversion of XML files into RPT files of crystal reports.Later on we can refresh the data in reports by changing the datasource location.
Can you please guide us whether it is possible and if yes how should we go about it?
regards,
shital

Hi, i suggest, 2 technies to do this, the first one, you can use,
CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE
EXPORTING
    APPLICATION            = 'C:\Program Files\crystalreports.exe'
EXCEPTIONS
    CNTL_ERROR             = 1
    ERROR_NO_GUI           = 2
    BAD_PARAMETER          = 3
    FILE_NOT_FOUND         = 4
    PATH_NOT_FOUND         = 5
    FILE_EXTENSION_UNKNOWN = 6
    ERROR_EXECUTE_FAILED   = 7
    SYNCHRONOUS_FAILED     = 8
    NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI   = 9
    OTHERS                 = 10.
where, exe file could be, a crviewer.exe, and, use a parameters ( on exe ) to indicate rpt file, or, define of standar mode, a generic name and put, xml file generated via abap, on a repository, this way, rpt file, when launched, displaying file.
the second choice, could be, go SM69, click create. enter a command name 'ZCREXE', enter the path and the exe file name in operating system command field. You can call this exe from ABAP using SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.
i hope so that my answers help you.
greetings.

Convert BI report 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

Gira,
You want my advise?
Why convert from BI to BO ?
Create in BO directly. Create new. That saves a lot of trouble.
Learn BO. That is the way to GO.

See sql query from crystal report without crystal report

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.

And this will only be of use if you know which Server/Insstance/Database the Report is connecting to...

Display Document from BI Server in Crystal Report

Hi all,
I accessed BI Query from BI server in Crystal Report. We can upload any comments or documents to the query. I want to display the document and comments in Crystal Report from the BI server.
Is it possibel? If possible how can i do this?
Thanks & Regards,
Hemalatha J

As I see there was no response on these issue although it is marked as answered. I'll give a hint for the ones that might want to try this.
One could extract the metadata and documents from the tables names to be found in the tables SDOKLOTAB and SDOKPHTAB (as an example, for InfoObject documentation we have the tables BDSLOIO8, BDSLOIOT8, BDSLOPR8, BDSPHIO8 and BDSPHF8) or one could export the metadata from the BI repository (though, this is a manual approach).

Report in Crystal reports has different values in Infoview

I have uploaded a Crystal Report into BO Enterprise using the CMC.
The logging into the Infoview to view the report and the results are different to those in the report when run against the same data in Crystal reports.
It is pulling up data, but not the correct figures. I dont know where it is getting its data from.
Any help would be appreciated.

I deleted the ODBC connection and recreated it with a new name.
I then relinked the report in crystal reports, and it suddenly decided to give updated values.
Thanks

Font style issue with exporting report in Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
I got stuck on the below issue for a while. Please can anyone help on this?
When I designed and executed a report in Crystal Reports 2008 on my local PC, the font style and size used in charts were exactly what I was expecting.
However, after I exported the report to our BusinessObjects CMC and displayed it in InfoView, the font style and size in charts looked quite different from what they were in CrystalReports.
Any ideas of how to fix this issue?
Thanks!
BAI

Hi Nanda Kishore,
This is because you do not have proper rights on Business View Manager. Whenever you create a dynamic parameter in crystal and try to save the report on BO, it creates a Business view automatically. Now in your case, it is unable to create a business view due to insufficient rights.
Go in Business View Manager u2013 Repository exploreru2014You will find Dynamic Cascading Prompts folderu2014Right click on that and go in rights and add your user information and give full rights.
Also make sure that your BO and CR designer on same version and patch level.
Thanks,
Sastry

Report containing 15 sub reports crashing - Crystal Reports 2008

I am using Crystal report 2008 with all latest service packs applied. I have more then 20 different reports wich work absolutely fine and never crash. One of my report contains 15 sub reports since its bringing data from 15 different queries. This consistently keeps crashing everytime I try to run it. Not sure what could be the root cause.
We are using Postgres database and connected to it with ODBC connection using Microsoft DSN.
- All Subreport data is being displayed on Report Footer
- All subreports are included in the Main report page header section. (I have also tried doing it on report footer section but it still crashes)
I have tried searching through the forum and did not find similar issue resolutions. Did someone face similar problems before?
The crash message is:
"crw32.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry of the inconvenience."
Error report contains this data:
AppName: crw32.exe AppVer: 12.2.0.290 ModName: psqlodbc35w.dll
ModVer: 9.0.2.0 Offset: 0004c538
I am using Windows XP
Crystal Report Version Details:
CR Developer Version 12.2.0.290
Product Type: Full
Let me know how can I debug this issue? Any help is appreciated.

@Don - We performed extensive testing for this crash issue and found that now this crash is not happening only in one scenario. So we have partially fixed this.
Now the report crashes if I get disconnected from database and reconnect. This is what happens
1. open the report in crystal report 2008
2. try to run the report when db is connected- it works fine.
3. Now disconnect the database (we are using ssh tunnel to connect to db so we just close the tunnel)
4. now try to refresh the report - it fails to retrieve data.
5. Now close the report without saving it.
6. Now Close Crystal Report.
7. Now Connect the DB using ssh tunnel so crystal report can connect.
8. Now open Crystal Report
9. Launch the target report.
10 Preview the report - it works for first time.
11. Now do a refresh keeping same parameters - Report crashes here.
- I tried these steps with some of my other reports and they do not crash.
- Now I have only one report which contains a Postgres Query with date range,order by and a union join.
- No subreports now - I am trying to run this one subreport as a standalone report which I created from scratch(using blank report wizard) and just copied the query.
Any more pointers would help.

How to set DbConnections when scheduling a crystal report using Crystal Reports Server Java SDK?

Post Author: Manjula
CA Forum: JAVA
Hi,
Trying to schedule a report using Crystal Reports Server Java SDK. Want to pass DBConnections from API, though passing DBConnections, the report is not being scheduled and says "Failed to retrieve data from the database.Details:[Database Vendor Code:6550].
Would be thankful if someone could answer my point as applicable.
Here is the code attached.
ISDKList dbLogons = oReport.getReportLogons();int dbLogonSize = dbLogons.size();
for(int i=0; i<dbLogonSize; ++i) {
IReportLogon dbLogon = (IReportLogon)dbLogons.get(i);
dbLogon.setDatabaseName("DBname");
dbLogon.setUserName("usrname");
dbLogon.setPassword("pwd");
Thanks in advance.

Ted,
Thank you for your valuable information.
First, tried scheduling on Central Management Console and then with the java code.It worked fine, but here is another question for you.
On the Console, a report exists with ServerName and UserName harcoded and when trying to set ServerName and UserName from the java code, its throwing exception. Where as Password is not set on Console, am able to set password from java.
And DatabaseName is not set on Console (non editable), unable to set the same from java too. Why is it so?
So, my question is - though ServerName,DatabaseName,UserName,Password exists on the Console report, can't I override those parameters from java?
Would be greatful if you answer my question and provide me some guidance.
Thanks in advance.

How to make crosstab report in crystal report

Hi all ,
I want to make a crosstab report in crystal report
my query is like this
select YearDate.year ,
(currentasset.currentaset / currentliability.currentliability ) as CurrentRatio
,(currentasset.currentaset - Inventory.Inventoryaset / currentliability.currentliability ) as QuickRatio
from
select distinct YEAR(JDT1.RefDate) as year from JDT1
)YearDate left join
select YEAR(JDT1.RefDate) as year,sum(JDT1.Debit - JDT1.Credit ) as currentaset from JDT1,OACT
where JDT1.Account = OACT.AcctCode
and OACT.AcctCode = '11'
group by YEAR(JDT1.RefDate)
)currentasset on YearDate.year = currentasset.year left join
select YEAR(JDT1.RefDate) as year,sum(JDT1.Debit - JDT1.Credit ) as Inventoryaset from JDT1,OACT
where JDT1.Account = OACT.AcctCode
and OACT.AcctCode = '11.05'
group by YEAR(JDT1.RefDate)
)Inventory on YearDate.year = Inventory.year left join
select YEAR(JDT1.RefDate) as year,sum(JDT1.Debit - JDT1.Credit ) as currentliability from JDT1,OACT
where JDT1.Account = OACT.AcctCode
and OACT.AcctCode = '21'
group by YEAR(JDT1.RefDate)
)currentliability on YearDate.year = currentliability.year left join
order by YearDate.year
So if i view the data in sql server it should be like this
Year   CurrentRatio   quickRatio
2006               501                 100
2007              600                  200
2008             700                   300
2009             900                   400
I want to make a crosstab with the column is year . the Year is dynamic according to the selection
So if i select the year from 2007 to 2009
It should be like this in report
2007                2008              2009
CurrentRatio                 600                  700                  900
QuickRatio                    200                   300                 400

Hi kevin,
thanks for your respond . Actually, it's work.
But i have some issue again.
How can i make a grouping
So the grouping per Item
For example
                                                      2006                 2007                 2008
Group 1               Item A                5                        6                       7
                            Item B                7                        8                       9
Group 2              Item C                  9                       0                      0
                           Item D                 8                        8                      9

Unable to Run Report on Crystal Reports Server 2008

I have a weird issue with one particular report. The report is quite basic in which it dumps all of our patients via a single table from SQL Server. There are no parameters or select experts. The report has been written to group by the patient's SSN. I then have a formula written that hides all of the patients that only appear once under that SSN. Basically, the report is only displaying patients with duplicate SSN. The report works fine inside of Crystal Reports 2008. There is approximately 137,000 rows and after the formula to only show duplicates, it shows about 900 records. This report takes only 6 seconds to run inside of Crystal Reports 2008. However, when I upload the report onto Crystal Reports Server 2008, the report starts to load and then I get a message from Internet Explorer that says "Stop Running this Script." If I continue to let the script run, Internet Explorer grows to use 3.6GB of memory and the report never loads. I am not sure why this is the only report that is having a problem. Is there some maximum number of groups that Crystal has?

I have checked the following directories and I haven't been able to see any errors related to my problem. I checked C:\Windows\system32\logfiles and C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\logging. However, if I schedule the report, it works just fine. I just can't run the report on demand without receving the "Stop Running Scripts" error.

Connecting SAP standard report with Crystal report

Hi all,
I've a SAP standard report S_ALR_87012284 using which I need to develop a dashboard using Xcelsius but before that I need
to build that report in Crystal reports.
Now is there any way to connect directly to SAP standard report from Crystal report ??
Thanks
John

Hi John
I am not sure about the link to a standard Report. I don't think it is possible, As far as I can work out the closest you will get to what you want in CR2008 is a link to Data Clusters, Data Dictionary and Function Modules CR. Perhaps someone with more experience than me can offer more insight though.
If your goal is to utilize CR2008 just for the ability to link to Xcelcius you should check out the following site, as it may help you approach your goal differently. This shows a great method for linking directly from Xcelcius to SAP.

Open ECC report in Crystal Reports

Hi,
Question, hope you have some info on this...
I want to try & open a custom report which is built in an ECC system (report is currently run as a "Yxxx" transaction) in Crystal Reports. Purpose is to further edit and format the report using Crystal Reports functions.
Does anyone know what path to follow here? Do I have to set up a new connection for the given source system?
Thanks for any tips advice.
Ps. I have Crystal Reports 2008 and also the BI Integration Kit (not sure if this is used / required).
Thanks,
Willem

There are transports that the SAP Integration Kit delivered. you may have already installed this on your BW, but they would need to be installed on ECC if you want to query there. Once these are installed, Crystal should be able to see an SAP - Table, Cluster, Function Data Connection allowing you to connect to your ECC.
You should review the SAP Integration Kit doc - it spells out authorizations required, how to handle security, etc.
