  • Crystal Reports 2013 and Windows 8.1

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install the Crystal Reports 2013 designer on my PC, where it is installed the client of SBO 9.1 PL04.

  • Unable to save reports to enterprise from Crystal Reports 2013 and Crystal Reports for Enterprise

    Dear Expert,
    when we tried to save report to enterprise, error happened:
    "Failed to find a Report Application Server."
    We closed BO server firewall.
    We could check report from PC by browser.
    But when we save report from CR 2013, then error happened.
    Then we install CR enterprise and save report is ok from same PC.
    We launch latest patches too.
    Anyone see this before? Please kindly help~

    April, since you have CR4E, you also have BI and thus free phone support included. My suggestion would be to create a phone incident and work with an SAP engineer on the issue. Only saying because it looks like you're somewhat anxious to get this going(?).

  • Crystal report 2013 and SAP BO XI R2

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a question regarding Crystal report 2013 backward compatibility.
    Say I use CR2013 to view, modify, and save my CR reports on XI R2.
    Is that possible? Is it view-only function that I can use?
    Correct me if I asked the question the wrong way.

    You won't be able to connect to the XI R2 repository from the CR 2013 designer.
    You should this error message:

  • Crystal Reports 2013 on SAP BW

    Hi Gurus,
    We are trying to establish connection between Crystal Reports 2013 and SAP BW 7.4. Could you please let us know whether we can create Crystal Reports on following BW objects or not?
    -BW BEx Reports
    -BW Cubes
    -BW DSOs
    -BW Master data Info Objects
    -BW Multi Provider
    Regards
    Viswanath

    Hi Manoj,
    Using the SAP BW MDX Query driver, you can design formatted Crystal reports that are based on data that is stored in SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW). You base these reports either on queries that are created with SAP Business Explorer (BEx) Query Designer, or directly on the cubes in BW.

  • How to configure crystal report 2013 with oracle 11g

    hey all,
         i download trial version SAP Crystal Report 2013 and i have Database with 11g and i want to connect with my database and try to develop reports
    but my issue is that i'm not able to connect with database. Can anyone please help to connect with database.
    i am new be with oracle database so it will help me if any one go thru step by step or any link,

    Hi Sandip,
    All you need is a 32-bit Oracle driver to be installed on the machine you're developing the reports on.
    If you already have both the 64-bit and the 32-bit drivers, make sure the Path variable under 'system variables' points to the 32-bit home.
    You can then either create an ODBC DSN or use the 'Oracle Server' native driver that shows under 'Database Expert' to create the report.

  • How to Save/Transport Crystal Reports 2013 reports in ECC (not BW)

    Hi,
    we are using Crystal Report 2013 and have reports which are based on ALV´s and SAP Tables directly.
    I want to know if it´s possible to save the reports directly in the ECC system, with transport connection etc. and maybe the possibility to translate the reports later in another language.
    I know the way when we have reports based on a BW system, there it is really easy and integrated.
    But in this case we are on a normal ECC System, not a BW Enviroment.
    At the moment we have the report rpt files locally.
    Has someone already done this and or knows a tutorial what steps are to do? (connection, package, roles)
    Kindly regards
    Max

  • Switch database in Crystal Report 2013

    Hi All,
    I have Crystal Report 2013 and my client require to connect multiple database with single report. I have more than 10 MySql database and all database structure are same.
    E.g. Create one report Employee Detail and connect using ODBC (RDO) I have successfully connected my single MySql database. Now I need to use this report for another database.
    My question is how to switch database at runtime?
    Anybody help me please.
    Thanks.

    You can create either a .NET or a Java app to schedule or view the report - it would connect in to the CMS and handle things from there.  It's not difficult to set the database connection in code.  Your best bet for additional help will be to look here:  http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/microsoft-net-sdk or here:http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/java-sdk.  There is sample code available in both places as well.
    Also, while I know that the utility Ido is referring to  will work with Crystal reports, I'm not entirely sure it will work with reports that reside in CRS.  So, you'll need to review it closely to determine whether it will work for you.

  • Crystal Reports 2013 (v14.1.1.1036) and Crystal Runtime 13.0.9.1312

    Greetings all.
    Our organisation currently utilises Crystal Runtime v13.0.9.1312, and we are considering purchasing Crystal Reports 2013 (v14.1.1.1036) for rpt development.  My question is weather or not CR 2013 is compatible with our version of runtime?  We are not running Crystal Server, and are not running an enterprise solution, and are aware that you can't direct CR to save to earlier versions - although it is backwards compatible read-only.
    We upgraded runtime a few weeks ago, so this is the latest version we can find, and note that there doesn't even appear to be an SDK associated with v14.  As an aside, is runtime v13.0.9.1312 the latest runtime version, and if not, where can we find the latest version?
    Many thanks in advance

    Hi Aaron,
    Please have a look at these blogs from Ludek:
    How do you spell confusion; CR for VS, Crystal 2011, BI 4.x and the .NET SDKs
    So, what's up with CR 2011 and .NET SDK - actually, any SDK?
    P.S: Both these blogs apply to CR 2013 as well.

  • Redistributable components of crystal report 11 and Crystal Report 2013

    Currently we are facing a peculiar problem where we are having a report with 5 tables and connected using the default crystal report db connectivity.
    The report was created in a very old version of crystal report 8.5 and we have been migrating the same to latest versions.
    When i execute the report from my Application using crystal report 11 run-time components installed it works perfectly (5 Secs). In this we were using the viewer ole control embedded in our application.
    But when the same report is opened up from the application using the crystal report 2013 run-time components there is performance lag of 15 Secs every time using the viewer as separate control using C# .net framework 4.0. 
    Also Installing crystal report 11 run-time and then installing crystal report 2013 run-time resolves the issue.
    Can someone let me know if we are missing something.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Satish VS

    Hi Bhushan
    Thanks for your prompt reply
    - The old application was it a .NET or COM SDK app?
    Old application uses the COM SDK App ( CrystalRuntime.Application) developed in VB & consumed the same as an Ole object in Power builder.
    - What version of VS are you using? (Earlier and now).
    Earlier With Crystal report 11 we were directly deploying the viewer as ole control in our Powerbuilder application
    Now we are using VS2010 with .net framework 4.0 as separate viewer control
    - Is this a windows or a web application?
    Its an windows application
    - Provide the version no of CR 11 you used earlier?
    Old Application uses crystal report 11.0.0.1282
    - There are no runtimes for crystal report 2013, so could you please provide the version no for the crystal report 2013 runtimes you are using? You could check the file version of crystaldesicions.crystalreport.engine assembly.
    Yes we are using crystaldecision run-time  and the version is 13.0.2000.0 & Runtime version - v2.0.50727
    - As runtimes, did you use MSM, MSi or ClickOnce CR runtimes do deploy your application?
    We were using this CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi as a pre-requisite before deploying our application.
    -Also, if you could elaborate on how did you upgrade / migrate the application and deployed it, would be helpful.
    In my old application we would be using the default crystal report 11 merge module to be deployed alongwith our application msi.
    To upgrade they would install the CRRuntime_32bit_13_0.msi  and then deploy our application msi.
    Please let me know if you need any further information.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Crystal reports 2013 , SAP MDX Driver not able to connect with BW BEX Query

    Hi All,
    We just installed Crystal 2013, and want to create crystal report on SAP BW CUBE/BEX Query through SAP MDX Driver.
    1.When start connecting through SAP MDX Query option from new connection , SAP Systems which are in SAPLOGON are not appearing in initial screen. where as from OLAP Connection we are able to connect to SAP BEX Query.
    2.Even from SAP Tool kit we are not able to connect to BEX query, we are getting ERROR MESSAGE.
    and we are using SAP BI BO PLATFORM 4.1 sp01 .
    Please suggest me , if I am missing any configuration settings.
    Regards,
    Joseph

    Hi Joseph,
    Before you start building the report, make sure the right transports have been loaded on the SAP System. The right Transport files are the ones found inside the installation zip you download from SAP's server. They're under the "Collaterals\Add-Ons\SAP\Transports" folder.
    For more info on Transports, authorizations etc, please have your BASIS admin go through this wiki:
    Crystal Reports 2008 and BW - Installation and Configuration - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
    To resolve your first issue, please follow the steps from this thread:
    Problems with SAPLogon.ini for SAP GUI and Crystal 2011
    P.S: Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.1 does a better job at handling BEx queries that the CR 2013 designer. It directly connects to BEx queries via the BICS connectivity driver and doesn't need the Transports to be there on the SAP System. You might want to give this flavour of CR a try too.

  • Upgrade from Crystal report 8 to Crystal report 2013

    Dear all,
    Need some information pertaining to upgrade of Crystal report 8 to Crystal report 2013 (to be invoked from thick client .NET applications)
    Is it possible to directly upgrade from 8 to 2013 ? Or should there be a move to intermediate version before going to 2013 ?
    How is the upgrade generally done ? (do we just open the report and save in new version, or do they have any upgrade wizard)
    What are the typical issues we may face while going from lower version to higher version (I understand queries may break, format and layout may change.  Are there any other issues specific to upgradation.
    Regards,
    Jain

    Hi Jain,
    Moved your post to .NET Forums.
    Since CR 8.0 is 12 or more years old there is no "upgrade path" now. The Database drivers have all changed and the Parameter API's have also.
    Best way is to get CR 2011 and manually open each and every report and update the DB connection using the Set Table Location, this requires updating the DB Client to current versions also.
    Note there are some old legacy DB sources no longer available so that can be a problem also.
    CR 8 is not Side By Side compatible with any other version so make sure it's not installed on the same PC. It will never work and cause all sorts of problems for you.
    Basic report layout stayed the same but Printing has changed a lot also so search here, lots of post on the subject.
    For more help need to know your data source also?
    And check the Overview Tab, on the left side, lots of resources and samples to get you started.
    Also, first warning is set your project to X86 and the full Framework, do not use the Client version.
    And the SDK is no longer shipped with CR Designer install, VS installer and redist packages are all available from here:

  • Migrate VB6 Crystal Report 6.0 application to Crystal Report 2013

    I have a VB6 application that includes the Crystl32.ocx from Crystal Report 6.0. Can someone suggest migration details to use Crystal Report 2013.

    Hi Manish,
    The VB6 application was written using RDC COM SDK which was available and supported til CR XI R2.
    From CR 2008 RDC COM SDK has been completely deprecated and is no more supported.
    There is no upgrade or migration path. With CR 2008 onwards only .NET and JAVA SDKs could be used.
    You would have to re-write the code using .NET SDK.
    All the resources for .NET SDK and plenti of sample codes are available, just search through forums.
    Also, CR 2013 does not have any SDK. You could design the reports with CR 2013 and use
    SAP Crystal Reports for Visual Studio (which works with VS 2010, 2012, 2013) to develop your applications.
    Here are few helpful articles
