Crystal connectivity with ECC 6.0

Hello,
I have Crystal 2011 and I am trying to connect to ECC 6.0 to adapt a few SAP Best Practices. I am able to access Infosets from ECC 6.0 but I am not able to access any table. I have tries searching. Also, when trying to adapt SAP Best Practices Crystal Reports, I am unable to update the Crystal Reports that use tables from ECC 6.0. I get the below error:
Some Tables Could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source. Please specify the table required for any unmodified tables.
I am able to connect to ECC 6.0 and access Infosets. Only when I try to access a table, I see this issue.
Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks!
Aris

Hi,
did you install all SAP drivers for Crystal Reports 2011 ?
the ABAP Transports have been imported to the SAP system ?
What is the message you receive when you try to create a new report in Crystal Reports designer using tables ?

SAP Lumira 1.17 Connectivity with ECC 6 giving error

Hi Expert,
We're on SAP Lumira 1.17 and I'm getting attached error when I'm connecting with EC 6 via Query with SQL. I've attached the error log. Can you someone please look into this , how can I resolve this error to connect with ECC.
I'm trying

Hi Antoine,
Thanks for response.
Are you able to connect to this ECC system using either:
- a SAP tool like SAP logon
Yes, I can.
- a BI tool like information design tool (if you have access to it)
Yes, I can access. I can also connect UNX universe which is built on ECC with Webi as well. It's only in Lumira which is not working.
-Can you try from SAP Lumira changing the language used?
Yes, I tried to change different language (US and UK both) but not working.
-As the base error from your log file raised from ECC is
This error log is generated from Lumira only.

Crystal connectivity with BI

Can Crystal connect directly to the BW infocubes or does it need to go through an existing BW query? Is the security in the cube utilized throughout Crystal?

You can connect to a cube directly although it is recommended that you use BW queries because some feature are not supported for a cube (like variables, calculated key figures, navigational attributes). Your BW security should be leveraged by the SAP integration kit.

EP6 SP2 [WAS620] Can Connect with ECC 6 [WAS700] ?

Here portal is EP6 SP2 [WAS620]
And Backend Server Upgrading to ECC6.0.
Is it possible to continue with Portal 6 with ECC 6 ?
Any specific SAP Note for this compatibility ?

Hi Sumanta,
that depends on what you are doing. If you have for example "only" some SAP transaction iView that should still work.
Also other JCo based iViews will work -- you will however not be able to run the latest business packages for ESS (for example) because they require a EP7.

BI connection with ECC

Hello BI experts,
Iam BASIS guy and working on SAP R/3 4.72 to ECC6 upgrade project.I have few tasks which is related to BI7.0 & source systems
Let me put like this current landscape
SAP R/3 4.72 - DVE QAS PRD
SAP BI7.0 BD1 BQ1 BWP
Now we are upgrading SAP R/3 4.72 to ECC6 in seperate hardware in parallel ladscape.Copy DVE to another system and different SID ( EC1 ), QAS to (EQ1) and PRD upgrading on same hardware.
So we will have to maintain two landscape parallely till live.And then we will break old source system SAP 4.72 and continue with new systems ECC.
I know as per SAP best practice we need sepearte BI landscape for upgrade landscape instead of same hardware.But customer can not spend money for new hardware and they wanted to go with same hardware.
I will Integrate BD1 to new source system EC1 and similar to QA, but after creating this source system I can see duplicate two source systems , one old and another new. And again 2 info packakeges and 2 process chains and etc..
How we can handle such type of landscapes? Do we need any BI manual activites? and how much effort we have to put?
Your expert solutions greatly appriacted?

Hi,
Creating Source System (SALE): This step creates source systems which are to be connected.
1.
Assigning Source System to Client (SALE): This step gives a logical name to a SAP Client from which the communication is to be established.
2.
Setting up RFC Destination (SM59): This step is required to establish remote connection to the partner with which Source system is trying to communicate. Here one has to maintain the logon and IP details of the target system.
3.
Distributing Data Model (BD64): A distribution model is used to model a distributed environment in which you specify messages exchanged between sending and receiving systems. Here one has to define the message protocols with which the two systems will communicate.
4.
Generating Partner Profile (BD82): This process generates a partner profile for each system with which your system communicates. Outbound records are created in the partner profile for each outgoing message, and inbound records are created for each incoming message.
Note: If one distributes Data Model before generating partner profile then one has to redefine partner profile in other system also (repeat step in both system). In this document we are generating partner profile after Distribution of data model so as to demonstrate how to maintain inbound and outbound message types in WE20.
5.
Maintaining Message Types (WE20): This process is optional. Generally while generating partner profiles we automatically get the respective Outbound and Inbound messages, which can be checked in T-Code WE20. If the message types are not defined then one can manually do it by following this process.
These steps will ensure that the BW and other source systems are in sync and will communicate as expected.

Integrating Crystal Reports with ECC 6.0 - Tuning Guide

Hello,
Do you know if there is a document out there that describes what we can do to pinpoint performance issues with CR integrated with SAP ECC?
There is a WebI Performance Tuning document from WebI to SAP BW. It explains how to capture very detailed end-to-end analysis times of a single query. We are looking for something similar for CR to ECC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much,
Scott

I am not aare of such a document. But I ould recommend the usage of InfoSets.

Regarding Connection to ECC 6.0

Hi All,
This is regarding connection to ECC 6.0
I have created a system in
System Admin ---> System Landscape --> My_Folder
For the system I have given the foll. parameters for Connector
Application Host
SAP Client
SAP System Id
SAP System Number
Server Port
Do I need to give something else in order to make the connection with ECC 6.0
Also how do I test the connection.
Please help. It's urgent.
Regards
Nikhil Bansal

Hi
When I am testing for the Connection then I get the foll. Results
SAP Web AS Connection
Test Details:
The test consists of the following steps:
1. Check the validity of the system ID in the system object
2. Check whether the system can be retrieved
3. Check whether a SAP system is defined in the system object
4. Validate the following parameters: WAS protocol; WAS host name
5. Check HTTP/S connectivity to the defined backend application
Results
1. The system ID is valid
2. Retrieval of the system was successful
3. The system object represents an SAP system
4. The following parameters are valid: WAS Protocol (http) WAS Host Name (xyz14.xxx.com:8000)
5. HTTP/S connection failed
Seems the WAS Host Name is valid.
What does HTTP/S connection failed mean.

Is it possible to use XSS 2005 on EP7 with ECC 5.0 ?

Hi all,
I have an ECC5.0 and I want to upgrade my EP6 to EP7. I'm using XSS 2004 on EP6 and I want to use XSS 2005 on that EP7. I've seen on different notes that it is not possible to use XSS 2005 with ECC 5.0 as a back end.
Is there any solution to connect XSS 2005 to ECC 5.0 ??? Please I really need a positive answer
Thanks,

Hi Joseph,
I have gone thru same problem in my last project but my situation was little different.
Actually Business Package of ESS/MSS has two components:
1. Portal Objects (iView, Roles, Pages etc )
2. XSS - The Java WebDynpro Code (which in turn contain 3 component SAP_ESS, SAP_MSS, PUSIC_GP)
Also the prerequisite is that we should have SAP_HR (will give HR functionalities in ECC) and EA_HR (contains RFC, structure required for XSS).
Now the restriction imposed by SAP is that SAP_HR, EA_HR and XSS should be on same version and patch level. Make sense also. However there are situation where you can deviate from above restriction. (I will explain the same below).
So what you can do is to install the Portal objects(iView, Roles, Pages etc ) on EP 7.0 (can be installed on EP 6.0 and federated to EP 7.0), install XSS 2004 on EP6.0 (having JAVA 640) and connect the same with ECC 5.0.
You are looking to install Portal Objects, XSS 2005 on EP 7.0 and connect with ECC 5.0. This is possible but NOT recommended. Actually XSS 2005 WebDynpro will look for enhanced structures, RFC in ECC, which XSS will not find and will throw dumps (sometime java and sometime SAP dumps). You can fix the problem by manually installing the new functionality but believe me it is VERY cumbersome task and will make your system highly unstable.
What I would advise you is to look into your requirement once again and educate your end client with the problem and take appropriate action accordingly.
Do let me know if you need any further help.
Cheers,

Crystal Report connecting Multple ECC systems

Hi,
I am working on crystal where I compare the data between to two diffrent databases(ECC tables). I am using SAP Table, function mudule option to create connection.
I have built a main report against ECC system A and imported a sub report built on ECC system B. Now I see that connection in my main report is overwrting the connection in the sub report. If I change the connection in the subreport with set data source location it changes the connection of both sub report and main report. After I deploy this report to infoview, in cmc I see only one database connection.
Is this a bug or can we have only one connection to ECC system per one crystal report even if it has sub reports?
Thanks

Yes that happens automatically, I just checked the same logic with universes built against oracle data source, I could see two coonections in the CMC. Its like its there is this issue when I am connecting to sap tables directly

Crystal Server 2011 "Failed to open the connection" with 32 & 64 bit drivers are loaded

Brand new installation of Crystal Reports Server 2011 with CR Developer 2011 as well. Downloaded new Postgres and MySQL drivers for both the 32 and 64 bit ODBC definitions. Created a new report on the server to eliminate any migration driver incompatibility issues. Reports run fine in Developer but give the same "Failed to open the connection."
and still problems running the reports If I Save Data with the reports, I can click View to see the data, but they will not refresh.
All the articles I'm finding online seem to point to the issue with needing 32 & 64 bit drivers, but I've loaded both and built my ODBC connections with the 32 drivers in the SysWOW64 folder.
Logged in as Administrator. Any thoughts out there? Are there some new security measures?
Thanks in advance ...

Yes, Designer and CRS are on the same machine.
Good catch with the 5.1 driver. I loaded up the mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.13-win32 driver and used that. It alone failed when I made the ODBC connection with it. I see on the CRS 2011 Feature Pack 3 .pdf file that it says "Only 64-bit database connector middleware is supported" ... I downloaded the other mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.13-winx64 64bit file, but teh .msi and .zip versions failed on the load. Do I need that if it says that or should the first one be enough?
I've been trying to use a normal User DSN, no? Apparently I don't have access as a machine Administrator to do it as I get "You are logged on with non-Administrative privileges. System DSNs could not be created or modified." Having our server guys get that straightened out and we'll see. Had not heard of that actually but will give it a go.
You say I should create the DSN entries in the 64 bit version of the ODBC Data Source Administrator ... located in the system32 folder, not the SysWOW64 folder, where the 32 bit drivers are found, yes? Isn't that the "wrong" location to use I've been reading? Or are System DSNs different from a User DSN?
BIG thanks for the replies. I owe you beers!!!!!

Issue with Java Application with ECC - Connection Issue

Hi
We have developed one java application to connect to SAP to extract some data. We are using java API (sapjco) to connect to the SAP. Now we are facing one issue u2013 for the ECC while connecting through the java application we are getting u201CUserid or Password incorrect erroru201D, but with the same userid and password we are able to log through the SAP GUI. If we changed the password with all CAPS (Capital Letters) and without numeric values, its working fine in java application (Means its connecting to ECC)
We are facing this issue only in ECC; the same application is running successfully in SAP 4.7 etc. without changing password.
Please Help!

I would draw the conclusion that you have to provide the paaword in upper case. There is a standar java method there that does this for you. Just do it before sending the password.

Benny

Crystal Developer crash, connecting with "Oracle Server" (Unicode DB): "buffer overrun"

Post Author: mdde
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hello everyone!
We're experiencing the following error, connecting with "Crystal Developer XI" or "Crystal Developer 2008" to a unicode-configured Oracle 10g Database using "Oracle Server"-driver and choosing a table:
ERROR MESSAGE: Buffer overrun detected!
Program: ...essObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\crw32.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state.The Program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated.
This error is reproducable by 100%. We're normally using it because of performance, but now we have do work with "Microsoft OLEDB" instead.
STEP BY STEP: Open CR Developer, File, New Report, New Connection (to unicode instance - this is a must), "Oracle Server", (Login without checking "OS auth."), Double click on table, Error.
DETAILS: "Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production", Oracle-client used by CR Developer: "11.1.0". OS: Windows XP, SP2
We tried CR SP4 and SP for 2008 edition. Didn't help. Nothing on google, nor in this forum, nor in BO knowledge base.
Does anyone also experience this error / know anything about? Thanks in advance!
David
P.S.: Picture:

Hi Aaron,
I highly recommend that you only have ONE oracle client installed. Oracle tends to have problems finding the correct dependency versions of their runtime. One way is to change your PATH statement so it only has the one Client listed but I highly suggest you uninstall both and then install just the 11G client.
Also, when CR connects to Oracle we query the DB and load all tables, SP's Views, etc. and when the local resources are filled up we stop. So when connecting be sure to check off the options not being used and add filtering in that UI also for your schema as well.
One last change, close the designer down and then go into regedit and this location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions - DoAutoSmartLinking and set the default value to No if it's not already.
Thanks

SAP ECC 6.0 IDES connectivity with internal BI server

Hell All,
We have a connectivity issue for SAP BI with ECC. we have a sap ECC6.0 EHP3 instance running in the customer landscape used for training requirement. In the ECC 6.0 we do also have SAP BI server in the same instance. Now customer want to use the same BI server which is in the same SAP ECC 6.0 IDES without installing an additional instance just for training purpose. As a part of the acitivty we do need to know whether we can configure the BI to R/3 data extraction for this instance. ECC have 800 client and BI also works in the same 800 client. Can we configure the SAP ECC to BI source system configuration and do the R/3 to BW data extraction scenarios. also want to know whether we can do the Process chains and other stuff for training requirements.
Hemanth

Hello colluges/friends,
any suggestions on this?
