Crystal reports 2011 for enterprise and SAP BW

Hi guys
I'm using Crystal reports for enterprise XI 4.0 and I try to connect to a simple query that has 4 key figures on the rows and Calendar year month on the columns.
I'm connecting to BW through BICS and I manage to see my query.
My problem is that I need my report to be designed as a crosstab, as BW is showing it and in Crystal I get everything in columns.
I tried to insert a crosstab but I couldn't make it appear the way I wanted it.
Any help will be appreciated
Shlomi

Hi Abhilash
Thanks for the answer
I have the key figures on the rows and I actually managed to create a crosstab after all
But I couldn't change my main report to crosstab, only to add a crosstab one of the headers of the report.
Do you have some steps on how to create a manual crosstab?
Regards
Shlomi

SAP Crystal Reports 2011/2013 doesn't show Company Data Base

I have CR versions 2011 and 2013 in several clients, and I can't connect to SAP B1 through the integration component. The behavior is that when I fill all the fields, I can't see the Company DataBases; if I type it manually and click "finish" I get the "conexion failed" error. With version 2011 it was working and then stoped working just like that. With 2013 has never worked. I've read in several forums that this error is recognized by SAP since early 2008 versions, but only talk about future "fixes". I've checked if any fix for 2013 is available but no lucky, it seems that fixes is a mess with CR.
See screenshot. Any ideas how to fix this? is this really a bug?
I have SAP 9 PL 9.
UPDATE: My SAP Partner Support has told me this error is caused by the version of SQL I have (which is 2012) and that SAP will release a patch to correct this soon, is this correct?

Hi,
Please check SAP note:
1966132 - SAP Business One 9.0 PL09 (SQL & HANA) supports SAP Crystal Reports 2013, version for the SAP Business One application

SAP Crystal Reports 2011: Error INS00140 and other install errors

Hi all,
There have been many customers who have downloaded the Crystal Reports 2011 installation package and have run into an error when the installer attempts to recognize the keycode being used. The error received is "The Product Keycode is not valid INS00140."
This thread is meant to track all current resolutions that have been determined based on troubleshooting with customers thus far. In addition, the thread will provide you with the list of things that we need to know in order to properly troubleshoot the issue.
Before attempting any of the steps below, please be sure that you are using the latest version of Crystal Reports 2011 which is SP02. You can download this version from the SAP [website|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/query-reporting-analysis/sapcrystalreports/index.epx].
Coy
====================
Resolution Options
Windows XP & Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable
If you are installing Crystal Reports 2011 on Windows XP, then you need to ensure that the following Microsoft patches are not installed on the machine. You can check this by using the Add / Remove Programs dialogue.
KB2467175
KB2467174
KB2467173
If any of these are installed, then please remove them before attempting to install Crystal Reports 2011.
Installing with Dashboard Design 2011 or Presentation Design 2011
If you are installing Crystal Reports 2011 on the same machine as Dashboard Design 2011 or Presentation Design 2011, then there may be a problem with the registry key that points to the location of the keydecoder DLL. To check this, launch run regedit and navigate to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Shared Tools\keydecoder.dll
You want to make sure that the "path" key is pointing to the valid path for the keydecoder.dll. The correct path to the DLL should be: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x8keydecoder.dll.
Uppercase License Key
In addition to the above, you need to make sure that you are entering the license key in all uppercase characters. There is a current issue with the installer where it does not accept lower case characters.
Fix - Coming in SP02, but can implement manually for now
Locate the BCM-4-0.dll.2.Config file in the <install package directory>\dunit\product.crystalreports-4.0-core-32\actions
(replace crystalreports with crystalreportsjava for CR for Ent and xcelsius for dashboards)
Open BCM-4-0.dll.2.Config
Locate this line:
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.50727.0-8.0.50727.1434" newVersion="8.0.50727.4053" />
Modify the oldVersion number to make the line like this one:
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="8.0.50727.0-8.0.50727.4053" newVersion="8.0.50727.4053" />
This should allow you to install without issue.
Further Troubleshooting
If none of the above helps to resolve the issue, then we need the following:
The installation logs from the following folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USER NAME>\Local Settings\Temp\<DATE OF YOUR LAST ATTEMPTED INSTALLATION>
The results from attempting to run the keycode validator directly. You can find it under the folders that contain the installation package. For example, C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USER NAME>\My Documents\CrystalReports2011\DATA_UNITS\CrystalReports\dunit\product.crystalreports-4.0-core 32\actions\isKeyCodeValid.exe -keycode <YOUR KEYCODE> -version 140 -property CR.EnableCR
You should submit a new forum post with relevant details about the error and provide links to download the logs generated by following the above steps.
Edited by: Don Williams on Dec 22, 2011 7:53 AM

Then try these:
1. Download the latest version of the installation package for Crystal Reports 2011. To verify the version of extracted package, open productid.txt file located at: {installation package}\DATA_UNITS\CrystalReports\.
Make sure it is not less than 14.0.2...
2. Where to download Crystal Reports 2011 installation from: - free trial from SAP Online shop http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx - from SDN Community page http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm - from Service Market Place http://service.sap.com/sbop-downloads Note: downloads from all above listed locations are fully functional product installations. Trial version defined by expiring key code, not by functionality limitations.
3. Copy the installation package to a hard drive if possible to avoid any networking issues.
4. Login to the machine as Local ADMINISTRATOR.
5. Temporary disable any kind of firewall, antivirus, network security etc., if possible.
6. On the latest versions of Windows, even if logged in as local Administrator, right-click the setup.exe and select "Run as Administrator". If do not have Administrator account, right click "Run as" Select current user and uncheck the "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity".
7. Make sure there is enough space on the computer. If not sure about the space, run "Custom" installation with minimum components. Non-mandatory components could be added at any time.
8. Finally, if there is an existing "InstallData" folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects rename it to "InstallDataOLD"

Crystal Report 2011- SAP Data Sources: CL - no items found

Background:
SAP ECC 6.0 was purchased three years ago with DSD package. Only FI and SD modules are in use. Accounts download data filesfrom SAP to produce spreadsheet reports. Few user trust these numbers. We are setup as "SAP in the Cloud" model- Listening to constant user complaints, it seems SAP is broken. Interim solution: Crystal Report for everyone.
Encouraged by Ingo Hilgefort papers and Crystal Report Forum:
We decided to deploy Crystal Report 2011 and Business Object XI 3.1 with SP4 for our small user community. These software are installed on local XP laptop and Business Object XI 3.1 installed in the SAP server as well.
Problem Description:
The desktop user cannot see SAP infosets or tables contents. When connect to the data sources. After user login, she can navigate to expand the data source CL.- displays "no items found ". I can reproduce this error. Using the Crystal Report wizard and selecting various data sources such as: SAP Table, Cluster and Functions: CL, DD and FN category only DD and FN display items.
Current Environment: SAP in the Cloud.
SAP Server::ECC 6.0 EhP3 dual stack. Database MSSQL, OS 2008 Server, Business Object Intergration Kit 3.1, Remote Acces VPN.
Desktop Environment: Crystal Report 2011: SP1, Business Object Xi 3.1, XP SP3
Surprise: Clicking on either DD and FN tab inside the connector window in Crystal- it expands and displays tables and content reference but not CL.
Questions: Do we have to move to EhP5 for the CRX 2011 to work ? What is wrong: ? Any help will be appreciated?
This question is for Ingo H. How to convince SAP hosting company otherwise to solve our problem ? Is is desktop problem or Host side configuration ?

Ahmad
K900687 is Open SQL Connectivity transport and required for direct SAP tables connectivity, so you need it, but I am not sure if the warning message relevant to your problem. Sometimes warning is just a warning.
You can see other objects in DD, but not in CL, it means the connection works. You probably do not have required authorisations to see objects.
I would suggest to review the Authorisation section of SAP Integration Kit Installation Guide here:
[http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000559912010E/xi31_sp3_bip_sap_inst_en.pdf ]
You may also check what is the differences between DD and CL in terma of authorizations.
If you think CR 2011 is broken, then test CR 2008. Is still available for free 30-days trial download here:
[http://www12.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx]
, but you would need to add SAP Integration Kit to it.

Cannot Install SAP Crystal Reports 2011 on 64-bit Win 7

I am trying to install the 30-Day Trial of SAP Crystal reports 2011 on a Windows 7 64-bit pc and at the end of the installation, I receive the two errors below.
I made sure I clicked 'Ran as Administrator' and under properties under the Compatibility Tab, I selected Windows 7.
I also made sure my antivirus software was disabled.
1st Error - It was a pop up after the installation said successful.
Missing installdir reg key for installiverse, required for uninstall. Key: SOFTWARE\SAP BusinessObjects\Suite XI 4.0\Installer\aurora Value: Path
2nd Error - It was another pop up right after I selected OK on the 1st error pop up.
Runtime Error!

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
And the box name is called, "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
After I click OK to clear this 2nd error pop up box, I go to my programs and it is not there to use. I don't understand why. Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Have a look in the install log file, it is under this tree:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects
Anything in the install log? You can open it with notepad.
Also have a look at this post: SAP Crystal Reports 2011: Error INS00140 and other install errors
And you also need 2.0 Framework as well as MS VS 2005 C++ Security installed.
Interesting name for a PC...
Thanks

SAP Crystal Reports 2011 - Product keycode

Dear all,
I have been requested to install SAP Crystal Reports 2011 to use it as a reporting tool for our SAP ERP 6.0.
However, I got stuck when the installation program asks me for the "Product Keycode". Does anybody know if there is a temporary product keycode so we can evaluate this product before purchasing it?If so, where is it?
Once SAP Crystal Reports 2011 is successfully installed, do we need to install anything else in order to set up the connection between SAP Crystal Reports 2011 and SAP ERP 6.0?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Since someone on your site obtained CR 2011, they should also have a permanent keycode...
Failing that, the only way to get a 30 day temp eval keycode is from here;
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
But you will still have to go back to who ever obtained your current CR 2011 and ask them for a permanent keycode.
Re. Connection to SAP ERP 6.0. You're better off asking in the SAP Crystal Reports Database Connectivity|SAP Crystal Reports - Data Connectivity; forum rather than in this forum.

Where are release notes for Crystal Reports 2011 SP10?

We've recently moved from Windows XP with an older release of Crystal to Windows 7 (64 bit) with Crystal Reports 2011. Where can you find what issues have been fixed? Despite finding a link with the text "Support and Feature Pack Release Notes" on the web page SAP Crystal Reports 2011 – SAP Help Portal Page, the document is for SP5. Where can you find issues known and fixed in each of the service packs (and known and not fixed)? I also looked at Analytics Knowledge Center and picked Crystal Reports and 2011 and the only release notes other than the initial release is for a FP3, which as near as I can tell is nowhere to be downloaded so I assume the SP1 replaced that...

Hi Eddie,
Release notes for SP10 are only available on the Service Market Place.
If you have an S-user ID, you may have a look at the document here.

Merge files or redist installer for Crystal Reports 2011

I cannot find packages for merge files or installer for the redistribution files for Crystal Reports 2011. I have found them only for older versions. In the download section there is somewhere a hint that they are at a different position but no information where.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you
Arne Ortlinghaus

Hi Don,
thank you. It is ok using the files you indicated me. But there are still some doubts.
What does happen on a machine where a designer 2011 (internal version 14) is installed and an application that uses the dlls for Visual Studio 2010 (internal version 13). Does this work without problems?
In a readme for the redistributables for Visual Studio 2010 I have found the following text which I cannot interprete:
If you have installed Crystal Reports 2011 or any of the SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products,
you may notice that their installation contains the same "Crystal Reports 2011" and "SAP
BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0" folders as you see in this folder. Please note that the
folder/files names may be the same but most files have a different version, and are not
compatible with the Crystal Reports 2011 or SAP BusinessObjects XI 4.0 products.
Currently we want to upgrade our programs from Crystal Reports 9 to 2011 and we have many installations where for one machine the Crystal Reports Designer is needed together with our applications.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your help and advise.
Crystal has been running on the server for some time (over a year) but hasn't been 'managed' until now so am looking at all of the issues at present.
We haven't seen a pattern when the errors started though.
Unfortunately the only errors I think relating to CR are the ones in the original post. There are other errors, particularly to do with printing, but I think that they these are due to the TS sessions which wouldn't run Crystal. See below.
The print spooler failed to load a plug-in module C:\Windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\3\tsprint.dll, error code 0xc1. See the event user data for context information.
I am assuming the users are fine when they view the report then; scrolling through pages. Yes, I believe so.
Yes, there are no locally attached printers on the server so the users rely on their remote session sharing the printer.
Regards,
Don

Crystal Reports 2011 Demo Install Error

Downloaded the trial of Crystal Reports 2011 today (installer says it is SP2) and it will not install. Searched the forums and the 'net and not finding anything that appears to be applicable to my situation, so here goes:
Windows 7 64-bit Pro SP 1, all updates
Crystal Reports 8.5 and 9.2 installed
Visual Studio 2010 Pro with all updates
RAD Studio XE2 with latest updates
Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010
I run the setup as an admin, Windows 7 compatibility checked, etc. as suggested in other posts.
I am getting a Visual C++ runtime library error "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way."
I get this initially when the installer says "Installing Deployment Unit:" and the unit listed is:
tp.microsoft.vcredist-7.1-core-32,14.0.0.760
I have a screenshot, but the above gives relevant information. If I click OK on the error, I will continuously get it for all other files and then get the pleasure of getting it again when I cancel the installation. We have been considering moving to SSRS, but wanted to give the 2011 Crystal a shot since we have several hundred reports developed in it.
Thanks in advance for any help and apologies if I missed something in my searching. Any ideas??

Hello,
First thing is CR 8.5 is not side by side compatible, so uninstall it. I don't see this causing install issues but just an FYI...
I assume you downloaded it from the Trial version Page then or was it in Service Market Place?
SP 2 is both Full and Incremental so I'll start the download and test also. It may be they linked to the wrong file.
How big was the file you downloaded?
Also, have a look at this post: SAP Crystal Reports 2011: Error INS00140 and other install errors , there may be something going on with one of those MS Kbases causing the issue, or could be something new.
I checked with the PM for Cr 2011 and there should be both incremental and a full build available, possibly they did link it to the wrong one...
Thanks again
Don
Oh and check that you have .NET 2.0 to 4.0 Framework installed, CR requires is.
Don
