Hello,
How are you deploying the reports? Via Visual Studio, Report builder or manually uploading RDL files?

Report on olap universe (integration kit) fails by WEBI and it runs by Rich

I've implemented the integration Kit and an OLAP universe query based and it runs.
I've a problem on a report that runs via Rich Client and fails via web client.
We are on BI 7.0 sp 19. Is it necessary to upgrade to BI 7.01 SP03 or SP04 ? We've seen your interesting document about the improvement of perfomance of BI 7.01 SP04 but we'd like to upgrade our BI system 7.0 in 2 months and not now.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Hi Sebastian,
The BO XI 3.1 Fix pack Level is 1.7. We have activated traces but we don't know if the traces are java.
We have the problem with reports with a large quantity of data, in report with a low quantity of data webi runs.
OSS ask us to evaluate the upgrade of our SAP BI to the EHP1 03 but it requires 2 weeks and we'd like to evaluate all alternatives before to do it.
Thanks in advance.

Crystal Reports 10 and SAP Integration Kit

Hi,
we have a customer using crystal reports 10. Is it possible to use the SAP Integration Kit for version 10? When installing the Kit (Version XI 3.0) there is an error that we do not use CR 2008.
Thanks in advice
Claudia

Hello Claudia,
the SAP Integration Kit is always dependent on the product releases. there is a Crystal Reports v 10 and Crystal Enterprise v 10 and a SAP Integration Kit v 10 - but keep in mind that v 10 is already out of support.
Crystal Reports 2008 requires the SAP Integration Kit XI 3.x and BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.x

SAP Integration Kit for Crystal Reports

Hello,
I read Ingo Hilgefort's blog on BusinessObjects and SAP Part 2.
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
Does the current trial version of crystal reports available from businessobjects.com have this integration kit embedded in it?
If not, where can i find it?
Regards,
Suraj

hi shenoy,
SAP Integration Kit
The SAP integration kit includes drivers to allow connectivity to both R3 and Business Warehouse (BW). In addition, it includes a BW toolbar for Crystal Reports, a specific version of InfoView with Role-based links, sample iViews for Enterprise Portal, and an SDK in Java, COM, or .NET.
Reporting off R3 Data
The kit includes two drivers to allow Crystal Reports to connect to the ABAP data dictionary via a remote function call or RFC.
The Open SQL driver allows the user to connect to SAP R3, displaying the field and the short text description of the tables and fields. The developer can then join the tables accordingly, using the database expert, and then select the relevant fields from which to report. This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.

This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.
Note
In Crystal Reports, you cannot check the SQL generated using the Show SQL Query option from the Database menu. You can check what Open SQL was generated by using SAP transactions.
The InfoSet driver allows the user to connect to an existing InfoSet, as defined by SAP transaction SQ02. Alternatively, you can use an existing ABAP query, as defined by SAP transaction SQ01. The benefit of this driver is that the user does not need to know where the data is stored or how to join the tables. Another advantage is that any prompts defined in the InfoSet become parameters in Crystal Reports.
Note
To test the InfoSet query, run the InfoSet using your SAP GUI and ensure that it is pulling the required data first before testing it in Crystal Reports.
Reporting off BW Data
When reporting off of BW data, the Business Objects' Integration Kit consists of three drivers that are used to pull data.
The BW Query driver enables the user to connect to a BW query. To enable selection of a query with this driver, Crystal Reports has its own toolbar, as shown in Figure 15.3, and the user needs to select the New Report icon from this toolbar. The user then selects the required BW query, and thus displays a listing of fields available in the query. The user can then create the report using any of those fields. Variables defined in the query automatically become Crystal Reports parameters. After the user has finished building the report, the user saves the report using the BW toolbar. This saves the report to BW, and if the user selects the option to do so, automatically publishes the report to Enterprise.
Figure 15.3. Crystal Reports after the SAP integration kit is loaded. Note the SAP menu and BW toolbar.
[View full size image]
Two new drivers have been added to the XI R2 version of the SAP Integration Kit.
The MDX query driver supports using Crystal Reports to report off either a SAP BW query or a BW Cube.
Furthermore, it adds additional functionality by providing support for
A structure in both the row and column of the BW query
Hierarchy node and hierarchy node variables
Free characteristics in a BW query
The Operational Data Store or ODS driver exposes the ODS tables, so that they look much like the tables of any relational database. However, because of the structure of the objects, it considers them to be like a database stored procedure.
Connecting to the ODS objects is not performed with the SAP toolbar described here, but rather by selecting the driver from the Data Explorer as shown in Chapter 1, "Creating and Designing Basic Reports." After the user has finished building the report, the report can be saved back to BW and published to Business Objects Enterprise by selecting the Automatically Publish to Enterprise check box, as shown in Figure 15.4.
Figure 15.4. The additional options after saving a Crystal Report to SAP BW.
Note
This publishing method requires some setup. Please refer to the Installation documentation for further details.
Note
Both the ODS and MDX drivers require SAP transports to be loaded on the SAP BW system. Please refer to the Installation CD in the Transports folder for further details.
Using OLAP or Web Intelligence to Report off BW Data
Included in the SAP Integration Kit are specific drivers to allow OLAP Intelligence and Web Intelligence to report off of SAP BW.
To connect to a BW cube or query using OLAP Intelligence, open the connection browser and select Add. Select SAP Business Information Warehouse and then proceed to fill in the relevant data, as shown in Figure 15.5.
Figure 15.5. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from OLAP Intelligence.
[View full size image]
After you are connected, select the query or cube and process to build the report, as described in Chapter 19, "Creating OLAP Intelligence Reports."
Web Intelligence is new to XI R2 and requires that a universe be built on a BW Cube or Query. However, to aid in this process, Designer builds the universe for you. To do this, select SAP from the list of connects and fill out the required information, as displayed in Figure 15.6.
Figure 15.6. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from Web Intelligence.
[View full size image]
Finish the remainder of the wizard and when you click OK, Designer generates the Universe for you. It may be necessary to move some of the objects around to suit your needs, but when you are finished, export to Business Objects Enterprise.
Note
Only the BW query driver does not require the query be released for external access. The Web Intelligence, OLAP Intelligence, and MDX drivers require the user to release the BW query. To release a query, select the query properties in the BW Query Designer and select the Extended Tab and then check Allow External Access to This Query.
Viewing the Reports
Your SAP reports can be viewed either via the SAP integration kit's InfoView or via SAP Enterprise Portal 6. The integration kit provides a number of sample iViews that can be imported by a portal administrator. These include
Folder iView The folders a user has access to are displayed, and from here a user can run her reports.
Alert iView Shows all the alerts that have been triggered by Crystal Reports. The user can then click on the report to view the report. The creation of alerts is defined in Chapter 11, "Using Record Selections and Alerts for Interactive Reporting."
Thumbnail iView This iView displays the Crystal Report as a thumbnail of the report. The user can then click on the thumbnail to run the report.
Note
These are sample iViews. The organization can create its own iViews via the provided SDK.
BusinessObjects InfoView for SAP is a unique version of InfoView designed for integration with SAP BW systems. This integration includes features such as the ability to log on to InfoView using your SAP username and password. Related to authentication is the ability to access your roles and the Crystal Reports saved to these roles. The roles are defined in Enterprise as folders. The user can also schedule reports in the different languages loaded into SAP BW. This creates an instance for each language.

Unable to connect to the 2014 SQL Developer's Edition Report Server

Hello,
I have been through the wringer trying to gain access to my report service. I have to admit that I am something of a neophyte with regards to SQL Server but I am pretty good with Windows 7 management in general. I have just installed
SQL 2014 Developer's Edition under Windows 7 SP1. I have connected to the database engine server and loaded a couple of databases. I chose windows authentication and can get into the report configuration manager and the SQL server configuration
manager with no problems. I have registered the URLs for both the web and report manager. I can connect to all of the other instances (database engine, analysis services, and integration services). I have to run with administrator privileges
to connect to the integration services but it does not make any difference when attempting to connect to the reporting service either through report builder 3 or connect through object explorer. I can find no relevant errors in the RS log even after
enabling logging. I have been through many of the articles I could find online but nothing seems to resolve the problem. When connecting it shows Windows Authentication and the correct domain\user. I also browse to find the service so the
URL should be correct. The error that I am getting is as follows:
"Unable to connect to the server at CALYSTO\ReportService. The specified URL might not be valid or there might be a problem with the report server version or configuration. Specify a different URL, or contact your server administrator to verify that
the report server runs SQL Server 2008 or later. Additionally, if you are trying to connect to a SharePoint-integrated report server, verify that SharePoint is installed on the server and that the report server uses SharePoint integrated mode. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient)"
Program Location:
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient.RSClientConnection.CreateConnection()
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient.RSConnectionInfo.GetRSConnectionObject(Boolean ensureOpenConnection)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.RSClient.RSConnectionInfo.RSTypeImpl.ProceedWithConnection(UIConnectionInfo ci)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConnectionDlg.RSType.Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConnectionDlg.IServerType.ProceedWithConnection(UIConnectionInfo ci)
at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.UI.ConnectionDlg.Connector.ConnectionThreadUser()
I have tried fixing the installation with the installation disk, removing the report service instance and reinstalling it, using the administrator account instead of mine (with is of course an administrator). I'm at a loss right now. I have spent
about 12 hours trying to track this down and so far nothing has worked. I'm about ready to reinstall the entire operating system and start all over. I thought that I would try this venue before going to that extreme.
Any thoughts, questions, or ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
-Tom

"Unable to connect to the server at CALYSTO\ReportService.
Hello Tom,
It should be "ReportServer" in the URL, not "ReportService".
In "Reporting Service Configuration Manager" look up the correct URL. Open Internet Explorer with right-mouse click => "Run as Administrator" and open the URL, this should work. Navigate to "Side setting" (on top right side),
go to tab "Security" and add your account with role "System Administrator". Afterwards you should be able to open the URL without running IE as admin.

Default language settings in SAP Integration Kit?

Hi everybody,
I've the following problem:
If I create a report with the SAP Integration Kit (create new report from a query) I get a prompt where I can type in (System Number, User, Password and LANGUAGE). If I now choose as language u201CEnglishu201D and create a report, save it and open it in crystal again, everything is still fine. But if I go to refresh the report, I get a prompt where I can choose the SAP BW and type in the System Number, User and Password but not the LANGUAGE. After the refresh the names of the fields are still in English but the data is now in German (or just the technical names, depends on the language settings in the query).
For me it looks like that the language settings of the refresh are by default in crystal is set to German, but the software is English. I didnu2019t find any way to change the default language to English or save it in the report.
I already tried to change the language/regional/keyboard settings of my machine and also tried to change the language in the crystal formula field u201Clanguagecode%u201D.
But even if I could have a unique change in some system settings, it really will not help me, because I have some queries in German and some in English, depending on the actual BW system.
If the SAP Integration Kit gives me the possibility to choose the language during the creation of the report it should then remember the choice!?
Thank you for your help

Report Server Integration Feature is missing

Report Server Integration Feature is missing in site collection feature lists, so, i cannot activate it to get the SQL Server Reporting Services Content Types. No sure if it is related with a recent PU and CU patching.
checked http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb677366.aspx ;
finally, fixed by running a repair installation of sql server 2012 rs add-in for sharepoint.

Work for me by navigating to the "1033_enu_lp / x64 / setup" under the SQL Server 2012 SP1 (not the "SQL Server 2012 SP1" installation, but the update only pack), then execute rssharepoint and Repair. The first execution it failed (setup
rolled back), a re-execution fixed the problem.

Report service Integration (sql 2012 and SharePoint 2013) error Report Server WMI Provider error: Invalid namespace

Report Server WMI Provider Error: Invalid namespace
Domain Server, Sql2012 server and SP2013 Server (3 vm servers)
the sql server reporting services service application and applications Proxy are installed and started (SP2013 Sever)
the sql server PowerPivot system Service and SQL server Reporting Services Service are Started (in Services on Server)
in sql server 2012 sp1 reporting service configured (web service URL and Report Manager URL are configured and tested, the database report server mode is native) (SQl 2012 Server)
under general Application Settings .. trying to setup the "Reporting Service Integration" give us the above error message (Report Server WMI Provider Error: Invalid namespace)
I was looking for all blogs and TechNet material but without success.

Follow these steps:
1) Uninstall SSRS from the Database Engine server (MSSQLSERVER instance).
2) Install SSRS on the SharePoint server using the "Reporting Services - SharePoint" install option during SQL Feature selection, no other services are required (e.g. you do not need to install Database Engine services).
3) You should then see SSRS as a Service Instance in Central Admin -> Manage Services on Server, at which point you can also create an SSRS Service Application.
While this guide (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068.aspx#bkmk_install_SSRS) walks you through it, this is for a single server install where the Database Engine is also installed on SharePoint, not something you want to do.

I have install SAP Integration Kit but it doesn't work because an error message says me that i've already install a Webserver for Crystal Reports Server 2008.
My Webserver is on IIS 6
My Database for CRS 2008 is SQL Server 2000.
Do you have any idea why it doesn't work ?

Integration : Crystal Report Server 11.5 with Sharepoint standard 2007

Hi,
How can I configure my Crystal Report Server version 11.5 to store the generated reports directly to a Sharepoint Library (standard 2007).

Hi,
With the current solution of Integration kits and "integration option for Microsoft SharePoint software" you cannot have reports in SharePoint library. The infoobjects continue to be in CMS.

What do I need to install Integration Kit for SharePoint Server 2007

What do I need to install the Integration Kit for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007? It gives me an SP3 needed error but does not tell me what SP3. Has any one sucessfully installed this kit? Please help.

Hi,
The sharepoint PIK is available for BO enterprise only. SP3 is refering to BO enterprise XIR2 SP3. This Service Pack is not available for CR 2008. In order to integrate CR 2008 in BO enterprise XIR3 you need to install SP0 on top of CR 2008. But as I said above without BO enterprise you won't be able to use the PIK.
I copied the following system requirements from our Install Guide for BOE XiR3 PIK:
System requirements
For a list of system requirements, consult the Platforms.txt file included
with your product distribution. For additional important information that may
pertain to your deployment, it is also strongly recommended that you consult
the Release Notes included with your product distribution.
In general, the following components must be installed and configured
correctly before you install the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0 Portal
Integration Kit:
u2022 Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services or Office SharePoint Portal
Server 2003.
u2022 BusinessObjects Enterprise XI .NET SDK (on your SharePoint machine
or machines).
u2022 Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (any edition).
u2022 BusinessObjects Enterprise and Crystal Reports (on either the same
machine and/or on a different machine).
Kind regards,
Tim

Publishing Reports with BO Integration Kit for SAP

Post Author: Daniel Stoerzinger
CA Forum: General
I have the BO Integration Kit for SAP installed locally and have been able to publish the reports to the Enterprise Server. I'm also able to Open Reports from the SAP tab. However, I've created a lot of "test" reports which I no longer want to see in the list of reports. I've removed the reports from BO CMC but the Open Reports tab (SAP) still displays the ones I've removed from CMC. Where is this list stored? Are the report definitions stored within SAP? I've heard that the report definition is stored in SAP and the physical report is saved to the BO Enterprise Server. But no one within our SAP team has any idea and claim these are stored on the BO server.
(Someone tell me I'm not the only one in the universe trying to use Crystal Reports with SAP)

Can I Install without BO Enterprise a BO Integration Kit for SAP -Server

Helo Experts,
I want to Install a Business Objects Integration Kit 3.0 for SAP on our Server. Is a Business Objects Enterprise needed for this installation ?????
Thanks
C

Hi, Caner.
When you are installing Integration Kit you have 3 options: Desktop, Server, Custom.
Of course your choice depends on your requirements.
1. Desktop. If you plan to work with BW-source locally in Crystal or in WebI Rich Client this option for you. You donnt need to install BOE, it is working with client tools.
2. Server. This variant is suitable for work with BOE. If you plan to share your reports that based on BW-sources via BOE you MUST to install this on your BOE.
3. Custom. For "power"-users. If you choose this point by default it works like Desktop options, but it doesnt ask you to install Crystal reports. Usually I work with this kind installation.
Regards.
