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:
Error: "Access denied. You cannot log on to an older version of the CMS.
There's also an SAP Note on this.

  • 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.
    See this : Crystal Reports 2011: Connect to an SAP BW data source
    Thanks,

  • 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 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

  • Crystal Reports 2008 and SAP BEX query.  Issue in retrieiving multiple recd

    Hi All,
    I have designed a crystal report which has BEX query as a datasource. The values from this query are placed in page header. Also two subreports are available which get data from an RFC. Main report and sub report are linked by primary key ID.
    (In the bex query one condition is implemented on a key figure)  When I run the BEX query , it retrieves single record. But when I execute the crystal report, execution says 2 records and my details section is getting repeated.
    I am unable to use filter as it is a keyfigure.
    Any suggestions or  help here is highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Surya

    Hi,
    BEX query retrieves only one record (In the bex query one condition is implemented on a key figure) When I run the BEX query , it retrieves single record). I am puzzled on how the crystal is retrieving two records.
    Actually infocube has 2 records one with status "active" and the other with status "postponed". Some other fields also will vary.
    So, I cannot use this formula to supress.
    Regards,
    Surya.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How to open Crystal Report from the SAP GUI ?

    Hi experts,
        We have developed some reports for our ECC 6.0 system by using Crystal Report 2008 and SAP integration kit , these reports are published to BO edge 3.1 server.  To view the report, our user have to open IE and login Infoview first.
