How to connect Crystal Report 2008 server with SAP BI/BW server

Hi ,
I have downloaded the 60 Days trial version of "Crystal Report 2008 Server' from sap site to my machine. Now i would like to connect this Crystal server with SAP BI and want to use the data of BI Bex queries and Infoproviders.
Can you please guide me how to connect them?
Aslo how can i get the free trial version of Intergration kit ..here please provide me the entire full path of site(to download the Integration Kit).....
Any inputs would be appreciated!!
Regards,
Naween

Hi Michelle,
Older versions of CR would allow you to run CR from a network share point but you still had to have a license for each user. Current versions of CR do not allow you to do this any more, possibly using a Citrix or Terminal Server would allow this but you still need a license for each user. Older versions had a Network install option.
And as suggested exporting to PDF or some other format is fine for end users viewing your output. They are not using CR but Adobe Reader or Word etc. to view the reports, they just can't use the Designer to view the reports.
Hope this is clear now?
Thank you
Don

Integrate the Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 with SAP R/3

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to integrate Crystal Reports with the SAP R/3 . I'm new with this kind of integration and need help because I need to create a report based on the R/3 data.
I have read some posts from this forum especially on the integration kits - SAP forum but still don't have any idea on how to do it?
I already installed the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 and also Crystal Reports 2008 SP1. I also download the Integration Kits -SAP installer from the SAP Marketplace but when I tried to installed it, I get stuck because it need information for BW publisher.
As for your information, we don't use any BW server because we only use R/3.
Can anyone help me where to start on this integration?
Thanks,
-Syahida-

Hi Stratos,
You're right regarding the transport files. My basis team able to transport that file but when I try again to connect from Crystal Report to R/3, it come out with other error like " Connect to SAP gateway failed" and " partner 202.171.46.161 :3300 not reached"
What I did were :
a) Click on blank report
b) Create New Connection
c) SAP Tables, Cluster
Did I do any wrong here because the error cameout after I did all the step above ? When I look out on the error, it seems like it need to use port 3300. Is there any specific port required for the integration? This is because if the integration through SAPGui, it should used port 3200 and if go direct using SAPRouter, it will use port 3299.
Really need your expertise here or any document that I can refer because the standard document for integration kit for SAP did not mention anything about the port.
Thanks and Regards,
-Syahida-

Crystal Report XI R2 compatablity with SAP Integration kit

Hi All,
we have suggested to one of our customer the Customized pack of BO XI Edge series which include the licensing of Xcelsius , WEBI , Universe designer, SAP Integration kit and Live office...
He dont want to pay extra for taking the license for cryatal report 2008 as they already using the Crystal Report XI R2 version which they use to do reporting on non SAP data.
My question is :
1 - Now they want to do reporting ove SAP data using the existing CR solution they have is it possible ??
2- Will the integration kit support the CR XI R2 version ??
3- Can he publish the Crystal Report created by CR XI R2 to the Business Object Edge Series plateform ??
They just want to use CR to do reporting on data from R/3 side .
Kindly suggest.
Regards,
Mishra,Vibhav.

Dear Ingo,
Thanks for the reply.
Actally we have suggested to our client the latest Edge Series Standard pack solution , excluding the crystal report licensing.
My question is will the integration kit which comes along with the Edge series will support the existing Crystal Report XI R2 and can the it be integrated with BOE(can he publish the reports created with the earlier version to the Business Object plateform).
If the above sceanario is not possibe then we have to purchse the older version of integartion and i doubt if we can purchse it stand alone in that case we would be having two integration kits running to solve the purpose.
Kindly suggest.
Warm regards,
Mishra Vibhav

Integrating Crystal Report 2008 Developer with Visual Studio 2008 Standard

I have Crystal Reports 2008 Developer version 12.0.0.683 on my computer. I also have Visual Studio 2008 Standard. I know the standard edition of VS 2008 does not have the bundled crystal reports, but since I bought the full version of CR 2008 separately, I figure I should be able to use CR within VS 2008. The problem I am facing is integrating Crystal Reports with Visual Studio, so I can create reports from within visual studio.
Crystal Reports was installed first and then Visual Studio. As per suggestions on this and other forums, I repaired my installation of Crystal Reports, but that did not help. I then ran Visual Studio integration manager, but when I run it, it only detects Visual Studio as the currently installed IDE, but does not detect CR 2008. I downloaded service pack 2 for CR, but have not installed it yet. I do not want to install it if it is not going to help. I would also like to avoid uninstalling my copy of CR if at all possible.
I am a newbie at development in visual studio. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rajib

Don't want to go against what Jason said as it may be correct - if we go strictly by the documentation provided (sorry Jason, Dan says...). However, here is something to try;
Uninstall CR. Look for any left overs; c:\program files\business objects\... and delete all of that.
Look in the registry for HKLM\software\business objects and remove the business objects entry.
Download CR 2008 from here:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
That is a trial version and I believe it is already at SP 1. Use your keycode to install. Once this is done, you should have the ability to use CR in .NET. I'd recommend you do apply sp 2 now also.

Crystal Reports Dynamic Parameters with SAP Business One

Okay, I've got this very strange issue with dynamic parameters in Crystal Reports connected to SAP Business One.
Let's start with the software versions:
- Crystal Reports 12.3.0.601
- SAP Business One 8.8 (8.80.231) SP: 00 PL: 13
- Windows XP SP3
(SBO Server on Windows 2003 and SQL 2005)
What I'm about to describe is something I've tried in several reports and for which I created a very, very simple test report to see if it was reproducible in a very simple situation.
- I connected to a Business One server through CR's SBO connection type. Logon is successful, tables are shown.
- I pick OCRD and plac CardCode and CardName in the details section on the report. Previewing the report shows data.
- I create a dynamic parameter on CardCode and in the Select Expert I select the CardCode field and define that that should be equal to the parameter.
- I preview the report again. Now it asks me in such a parameter screen for logon credentials. It shows the server and database it tries to connect to and in the username it shows the SQL Server username I used to connect to the SQL Server in the first place. However, the password for that user is not accepted. I also tried to login with the Windows administrator user and with the SBO manager user, but no success with any attempt.
I also tried to add a static parameter and add all database values to the list. Same screen, different result:
Crystal Reports 2008 wrote:
Logon Failed.
Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT:
Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. (rptcontrollers.dll)
(On a side note: the report is saved as report1.rpt)
Anyone else got similar issues and found a solution?

Hi,
When you have fixed your crystal installation following the note posted earlier, please take a look at the [how to guide|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700000882232009E.pdf] and also at the [e-learning|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700001370262010E] about SAP Business One 8.8 and Crystal Reports.
There are so called "tokens" which you need to use instead of dynamic parameters.
Dynamic paramters don't work in SAP Business One 8.8, if they are not defined as a static paramter with token.
Best regards,
Darius

Many thanks, any ideas would be appreciated!

Hi David,
I've seen this before, your Video driver is out dated and you need to update it. Typically the makers of the mother board or video card, which ever one you are using, will have updates for your specific OS. Appears you are using the default Window generic video driver which may not support what CR requires or you have an older usp10.dll. You will likely get a new one if you install Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Also, Crystal Reports version: 12.1.0.883 is SP 1 and not SP 2., second number is the Service Pack, 12.x.x.x.
Download SP 4 and see if that may help:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
Or incrementally:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
And you may need SP 3 or if you want to start off clean download the full build of SP 3 and then SP 4. Requires the keycode so make sure you have it, we can't give you a new one.

Using Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 with the Brother 9500PC, 9700PC, and P9800PC

We have using Crystal Reports with the Brother Label printers for years until we were forced to use Crystal 2008. The label printers have worked in the past and we usually create a label template in the printer driver and this configuration is stored in the Crystal Report. These label printers can use several different size cartridges. When creating a report using the Editor, the report displays and prints correctly using the template embedded into the report. This is using the updated SP3.3 service pack. The problem is in the Run Time application that is embedded in another application to run the reports. When printing a label from the application, the report previews just fine with the correct size and format. However, when you try to print the label, the run time driver ignores the template embedded in the report and instead uses the default settings for the printer driver. So, if I have a 1 inch cartridge in the printer, and the default settings for the printer is a 1 1/2 inch cartridge, then the report will try to print assuming there is a 1 1/2 inch cartridge which will cause the application to fail. This is a problem with Crystal 2008 (12) and we would like to find a solution to this. Thanks, Doug

Hi Cameron,
You can setup custom label sizes in Crystal. In the folder where you installed Crystal Reports is a text file called Labels_en.txt. This contains the label definition Crystal uses. You can add a new label in here.
Now when you open Crystal and create a new report by selecting the Mailing Label Repotr Wizard, you will see your new label when you get to that step.
When save a report, the report will do two things. If you have set the report to a specific printer, Crystal saves the printer and paper settings inside the RPT. When the print engine runs the report, if it can't find the printer saved in the report it will default to the default printer.
What I believe is happening is the application is loading the report and because it can't find the label printer it was designed with it's going to the default printer. So you do have to set the PrintReportOptions in your application to redirect the report to the correct printer, driver and papersize.
This has pretty much been the way since version 4 that I can remember. The positive side is you don't have to set all the parameters yourself. You can get the PrintReportOptions from the report when you open it. Then you just need to pass the printer name, driver and port. The rest of the options (papersize) will already be populated from the Get.
Good luck,
Brian

Crystal Reports Charting Issue with SAP Function Module

I created a custom SAP Function module that returns 2 tables. The first table (summary table) contains two columns, column "a" contains a grouping and column "b" is a quantity. The second table is the detail and is linked to the first table by the grouping, column "a" , in both tables. I can bring the function module into Crystal Reports, but cannot create a drill down using a pie chart off the summary table. When I go into the Chart Expert - Data Tab only the Advance button is active and the Group, Cross-Tab, and OLAP buttons are deactivated. First of all, is it possible to do this using a SAP Function Module, if yes, what am I doing wrong.

hello Jhess,
i am not sure if you found an answer for your question yet. if you have a Group and a Summary on your report (i.e. the Sum of your Quantity field) then group charts should be enabled.
cheers,

Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 with Visual Studio 2005 help !!

Have application that uses reports developed using CR2008. The reports in question are created from an XML datasource and are populated at runtime with a dataset.
The reports work fine on developement machine but the client machines keep displaying the database login prompt.
What do I need to do to fix this

Something is not right here. If you are looking at assembly versions, then there are versions 12.0.200.0 and 12.0.1100.0 - framework 2 and framework 1.1 respectively. These do not change from SP to SP.
File versions do change. So, the assemblies for CR 2008, SP 3 would be 12.3.2000.601. Version 12.3.1100.601 is not familiar to me...
So, what libraries are you refering to? What is the version of the crpe32.dll?

Crystal Reports 2008 - help with formula to retrieve lastfullmonth

Hi, I'm new to this forum. First post. I have a SQL query where
:month(CAST(a.LAST_MOD_DT / 86400 AS datetime) + CAST('01/ 01/1970' AS datetime)) = (MONTH(getdate())- 1)
I need to create a CR formula that will pull in data from last month as this report will be run on a monthly basis. If I use 'getdate() -31' there will be a problem with the months that don't have 31 days.
I'm also very new with creating formulas so including an explaination would be helpful. Thanks,
Joyce

Sorry for the slow repsonse in getting back to you.
I wasn't able to get the SQL query to work. I did find one that does work except I need to find out how to pull in the minimum date and the maximum date of the records into the report.
Here's the SQL query:
--to query for the prior month, if January then month = 12 else month = (current month - 1 month).
and
month(CAST(a.LAST_MOD_DT / 86400 AS datetime) + CAST('01/ 01/1970' AS datetime)) =
CASE WHEN cast(DATEPART(Month,GETDATE()) as datetime) = 01
                      THEN month(cast((str(12)+'/'+ str(01) +'/'+STR(YEAR(Getdate())-1)) as datetime))
                      ELSE MONTH(cast((str(DATEPART(Month,GETDATE())-1)+'/'+ str(01) +'/'+STR(YEAR(Getdate()))) as datetime)) END
--to query for the proper year, if January then year = (current year - 1 year) else year = current year.
and
year(CAST(a.LAST_MOD_DT / 86400 AS datetime) + CAST('01/ 01/1970' AS datetime)) =
CASE WHEN cast(DATEPART(Month,GETDATE()) as datetime) = 01
                      THEN year(cast((str(12)+'/'+ str(01) +'/'+STR(YEAR(Getdate())-1)) as datetime))
                      ELSE year(cast((str(DATEPART(Month,GETDATE())-1)+'/'+ str(01) +'/'+STR(YEAR(Getdate()))) as datetime)) END

BOE user synchronization with SAP Integration Kit 3.1 sp2

The admin guide provides some information about user synchronization and I have found some in other threads, but not all of my questions are answered. Could someone confirm or explain what is going on in each of the following:
1. BW Roles have been imported previously As new BW roles are created will they automatically import into BOE, or do you have to go to authenitcations role import tab select them from the left, add them to the right, and press update. I can't find anything that says it is automatic, but some people think it shoud be.
2. Similar to above, what happens in BOE when the BI role is deleted? How will BOE identify this and autormatically update? Does each user who has that deleted role have to login so that it is removed from each one? Does the administrator have to force a role import update with "force user synchronization" checked?
3. After initial role import, I understand users are added as they login to BOE. First time it will create the BOE account, Later it will update the BOE user roles based on what is BI system. either adding or removed roles from the user. However, if you will not see these new assignement until the user logs into BOE. Would a periodic role import update with force user synchronization make the changes immediate? Can you schedule the synchronization?
4. When users are deleted from BI system, how is this updated in the BOE systrem? Or do they still exist, but can't login since the BI account was deleted?
5. In BOE, we see one BI user listed twice. The user name is identical with SID~CLNT:USERNAME. Two different modified dates. In BI change records show the user had their user group field changed from blank to TEST and also one profile added and one removed. Does changing the group make this a new user? Which user should be deleted in BOE? or will a role update with Force User Synchronization fix this?
Thank you

I can't find anything that says it is automatic, but some people think it shoud be.
>> Roles will not import automatically - that is an administrative task and needs to be done in the CMC / SAP Authentication.

Does each user who has that deleted role have to login so that it is removed from each one? Does the administrator have to force a role import update with "force user synchronization" checked?
>> The role - based on an imported SAP Role - can not be deleted in BusinessObjects Enterprise; it can only be removed from the SAP Authentication Roles in the CMC / SAP Authentication.
3. After initial role import, I understand users are added as they login to BOE. First time it will create the BOE account, Later it will update the BOE user roles based on what is BI system. either adding or removed roles from the user. However, if you will not see these new assignement until the user logs into BOE. Would a periodic role import update with force user synchronization make the changes immediate? Can you schedule the synchronization?
>> users may be added - that depends on the configuration in the Options configuration of the SAP authentication. there is right now no option to schedule a synchronization. if a user logs on and the user has not been imported but any assigned role from this user has been imported then the user will be added to the system.
4. When users are deleted from BI system, how is this updated in the BOE systrem? Or do they still exist, but can't login since the BI account was deleted?
>> users are deleted on the SAP BW or SAP ERP system and will then - either by a manual triggered update or the next logon try be removed in BusinessObjects Enterprise.
5. In BOE, we see one BI user listed twice. The user name is identical with SID~CLNT:USERNAME. Two different modified dates. In BI change records show the user had their user group field changed from blank to TEST and also one profile added and one removed. Does changing the group make this a new user? Which user should be deleted in BOE? or will a role update with Force User Synchronization fix this?
>> the user - assuming it comes from the same system - should only be there once.

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
