Creating a Report from ECC

Can we create a report directly from ECC (R/3) instead of BW Cude or BW Query using WebI or Crystal Reports??

Thanks for the response.
So, to build report directly from ECC (R/3 Tables), Crystal Report is the solution?? you mentioned about InfoSet also, Is there any steps to create a report using InfoSet??

How to create crystal reports from ecc abap program?

Hi all,
I am new to sap ecc to bo report!!
I heard that abap program cannot be directly connected to crystal reports,
So created a function module which is equivalent to the abap program!!
And happened to connect the same in crystal !!
Can anyone let me know how to proceed !!
will be there any performance issue ?
can anyone guide me how to do reporting from ecc function module to crystal reports directly?
Thanks

Hi Pooja,
From what I know, not all ABAP programs can be accessed in Crystal Reports. The program should return rows and columns, otherwise, CR would not be able to report off it.
I'm not sure if there are any performance issues if we follow your path. Do you experience any?
And, do you need help in creating a report on the function module, I mean do you also have any design related queries?

Hi Rich,
Even i had a similar kind of problem. I wanted to fetch data from BI through the XMLA Connector which are created in Query Designer and then i wanted to fetch these fields and rearrange them and put it in a report format by colouring certain fields. Can the same can be done in WebDynpro.

I'm a Developer and new to Crystal Reports and I have the job to create a Report from a SWT-Application.The report-files ( *.rpt) were created with Crystal Reports 10 or 11.> I'm not sure but I have access to a machine where Crystal Reports 10 Developer an Crystal Reports 11 Runtime are installed.Can anybody describe in detail how I can start the creation of a report from my Java-Application?> What libraries are needed, where can I get them and so on.I saw in the CR10-Setup that there is a Java-feature - but unfortunately this is not installed on my test-machine.--> Is it necessary to install this feature or can I get this files on businessobjects.com?Is it possible to start the report-creation from command-line?I saw a Java-example on the internet which uses Report.exe - but I haven't found this on my machine.I hope, that somebody can help me.GreetingsMarkus

This is my very simple inventory. On previous program I could sort by those items that did not have any figure in the row across. Then I could print a report of open inventory. Such as 149 Lidded Vase has not sales amount in the four colums across, thus it is open inventory. How can I capture all those items in one report?

Creating a Report from Excel

I'm trying to create a report from an Excel spreadsheet and am having some issues with how Crystal is reading in the data. I have 7 fields that are all the same, I want them to be Numeric fields. However, when I import the Excel sheet as the data source, 4/7 of the fields import as string fields into Crystal. At first I didn't think this would be an issue, but some of the fields, and it doesn't seem to be consistently the "string" only or the "numeric" only fields, do not seem to be printing to the report at all - the space where they should be ends up blank. I have gone back to the Excel sheet several times to change the cell format to Numeric, but that has not helped. I also tried changing the format in Crystal, using ToNumeric(fieldname) or ToText(fieldname), and neither of those functions seem to work either.
Has anyone had this issue before or know how to fix it?

Hi Jeremy,
Which Crystal Report version are you using?
Have you applied any service pack for Crystal Reports?
Which Operating system are you using?
Is the issue is with all the report or single report?
For testing purpose:
-Create new excell sheet with two columns one is numeric and other one string.
-Create report using thie excell sheet.
-Preview report and export.
-Now print report
Are you getting same results?
Have you tried to print other document through that printer is it working properly.

Creating a new connection when creating a report from scratch

I've searched all around but I haven't managed to find any samples or forum posts that show how to create a connection when creating a report from scratch via RCAPI. All of the code that I've found has been aimed at replacing the ConnectionInfo for an existing connection. I figured that it would work something like this:
m_crystalReport.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
m_crystalReport.newDocument();
IConnectionInfo ci = new ConnectionInfo();
PropertyBag propertyBag = new PropertyBag();
propertyBag.put("Use JDBC", true);
propertyBag.put("Connection URL", "jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=" + DB_NAME);
propertyBag.put("Database Class Name", "net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
propertyBag.put("Database DLL", "crdb_jdbc.dll");
ci.setAttributes(propertyBag);
m_connection = new Connection();
m_connection.setConnectionInfo(ci);
m_connection.open();
but this produces a NullPointerException within Connection.open(). If I leave the connection closed but add it to the report via DatabaseController.addConnection() then I just get the exception later on when I try to add tables using the connection.
Can anyone give me any pointers please?
Thanks,
Rich.

Just in case anyone else runs into this, I managed to fix it by leaving the connection closed and then using the connection info instead of the connection when creating tables, eg:
     ITable t = new Table();
     t.setAlias(v.getAlias());
     t.setName(v.getView().getName());
     t.setConnectionInfo(m_connectionInfo);
     getDatabaseController().addTable(t, null);

Create a report from scratch, add Table and Datasource Problem

Hi,
I'm using the latest Crystal Reports Runtime supplied for eclipse.
I want to create a report from scratch, add a Table and then add a ArrayList of Pojos as the Datasource.
But unfortunately depending on the ConnectionInfo I supply to the Table I get different errors.
I looked through the samples and see that I have to supply properties
like
"Database DLL", "crdb_javabeans.dll" and ConnectionInfo.setUserName("");
     ConnectionInfo.setPassword(null)
I looked through the forums and find different set of properties.
Actually because I am just working with Pojos I would have thougth that something like the following
would be sufficient:
ReportClientDocument doc = new ReportClientDocument();
            doc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
            doc.newDocument();
Table table = new Table();
table.setAlias("reportTable");
table.setName("reportTable");
doc.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null);
doc.getDatabaseController().setDataSource(myCoolection, myClass, "reportTable", "reportTable");
So could someone tell me the right/minimum Set of Properties to make a Table get connected to Pojos?

With XI Release 2, you can come quite close to creating from scratch:

You need Service Pack 2:

Problems in create graphical report from Oracle FSG xml output using BIP

We are trying to create graphical reports from Oracle Financial Statement Generator (FSG) xml output. I personally have extensive exposure working with XML (BI) Publisher but until recently I have never tried to use the BIP charting wizard to create graphical reports from FSG xml output out of EBS 11i/R12.
I created an SR with Oracle but they had to create an enhancement request for this issue. Does anyone know or have any idea on how we can accomplish this. The charting wizard pops up but the xml tags available do not make any sense.
If anybody has any idea please send me an email at [email protected]
Thanks,

BO v5.1 - creating a report from an oracle stored procedure

Post Author: newrochelle
CA Forum: Publishing
hi to all,
im using BO 5.1 and i need to create a document from an oracle stored procedure that have only one IN parameter and ten OUT parameters.
Creating the new report I selected the database connection then I choose the stored procedure name from the list, I inserted the value for the IN parameter and finally I click on Run button.
I got the following error message:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 38: :PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol
"," when expecting one of the following: : : ( - + case mod

character set specification> : <an alternatively-q :-6550
it seems to be caused by the OUT parameters!
i leaved them without any value.
it's the first time that I used a stored procedure to create a BO report, but I think the OUT parameters are needed to do that, otherwise what data will be presented in the report???
can you help me?
please answear me ASAP.
Thank's in advance

Creating a report from Microsoft AD LDS

I'm trying to create a report (a list of users basically) from a Microsoft AD LDS on Windows 2008. The solution c2016008 describes a way to connect to a AD source using NT authentication, which isn't an viable option in this case. I figure I could use the JNDI-interface to connect and I added <JNDIConnectionFactory>com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory</JNDIConnectionFactory> to CRConfig.xml (as it is the same class our Java application uses succesfully to read data from the source server).
I the connection window I give details as
JNDI Provider URL ldap://hostname:389/
JNDI username CN=amd,OU=User_Accounts,O=Something,C=Else
JNDI password (the user account's password)
Initial context /
I cannot make the connection to the service even with the designer for the first time to do anything. If my username and password are correct after pressing the next-button I get the Data Source Name: -dialogue box, but there isn't anything to choose there. If I press then "Finish" I gen an error message "Details: Invalid connection". What configurations am I missing? I didn't manage to find any other directions to make such on report except the one mentioned in the solution c2016008. The environment is CR 2008.

Depending on the version of CR runtime it may not be possible.
Only version that now support the DB driver for JNDI connections is crdb_xml.dll. This driver is not shipped with ANY version of CR Basic included with Visual Studio.
However we do now provide a download and manual configuration for Crystal Reports Developer for Visual Studio ( 2010/2012). This would/should allow you to connect to a JNDI data source.
You can get the installer for CR for VS from the Overview tab as well as the package to install the XML driver required.

Creating multiple reports from one query

Hello Everyone
I are designing crystal reports where 1 query is built for 1 report / 1 sub-report. To improve overall efficiency of reports, I am trying to design multiple reports/ subreports from the same query. All the sub-reports belong to the parent report and they are very similar to each other.
For example: in Webintelligence, we can just create 1 data provider and pull multiple reports from it and display it in multiple tabs.
Can we do the same thing in Crystal reports??
Please advice.
Thanks
Edited by: Devesh Modi on Jun 9, 2010 11:19 PM

Hello,
If you are using WEBI then you have access to BOE. Create a Universe and publish it to the Repository and then you can use it as your data source.
But I think what you are asking is how to query the DB once? Not possible, each subreport will run the query each time it's viewed.
What you may want to do is create a Stored Procedure and get all of you info into one data collection and not use subreports, use grouping to emulate subreports. As an Example ....
You may want to create a case in Service Market Place since you have BOE and work with a Report Design Rep to help you work out the best solution for you.
Thank you

Creating sales report from AR Data

Hello,
I'm Willie Owens. The company that I work for is currently in the process of implementing Oracle 11i applications. However, I have recently learned that when we first go-live with our system, we won't have the business intelligence system up. Therefore, I am going to have to create most of the views used for our sales reports from "scratch". Has anyone every used the RA_Customer_TRX_All and RA_Customer_TRX_Lines_All tables under the AR schema to accurately reflect sales information? If so, I could appreciate any input or suggestions that are offered.
Thanks,
Willie

Hello Mark,
Perhaps I should begin by describing some of the reports. One of the reports shows the sales by salesrep. These are the fields that are going to be used:sales amount, percent of sales, cost of sales, profit, percent of profit, and margin percent.
I have some ideas but I'm just not certain. For the For example, to compute the sales amount would I use the UNIT_SELLING_PRICE * QUANTITY_INVOICED or UNIT_SELLING_PRICE * QUANTITY_ORDERED?
Also, to calculate the cost of sales, do I use the UNIT_STANDARD_PRICE * QUANTITY_INVOICED(or QUANTITY_ORDERED)?
I understand that my profit would be the difference between these two previously calculated amounts. I also need the user to be able to enter a period ending date value. The Discoverer report should then capture all of the sales up to this entered date.
Then to further complicate things, I have to be able to calculate all of these values for the Period To Date(which means that it will capture all of the sales info from the 1ST day of the current month up until the Period Ending Date);a Year To Date Line will also show these values from January 1st of the current year up until the Period Ending Date.

Hi,
Contradicting statements.
However check the link for CCMS Configuration:

Ideally the CEN system should be a double stack i.e. best if its a solution manager.
