Crystal Report and ECC

Dear Gurus,
I want to know if it's possible to create a report in crystal report based on a ABAP report?
If yes how.
I want a straight connection to ECC for this.
Please let me know about it.

Hi,
I need to get the data from SAP ECC & BI to Crystal reports and then after formating data in Crystal reports, my requierment is to send via email (Broadcasting). Is there any option to Broadcast from Crystal reports?
I read Ingo Hilgefort blogs, but I need in detail steps such as to verify Integration Kit is installed or not and also how to create connections in between SAP ECC and Crystal. What are the Security setups(User IDs and Authorizations) involved?
What is best option for email/broadcasting for Crystal Reports?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Connection between Crystal Report and SAP ECC

Hi. can you help me please.
I'm testing the connection between Crystal Report and SAP ECC. I tried using the tables,
but by making the links between foreign keys does not bring data. The other way I tried was using an ABAP function module,
but using this way, Crystal will only works like a Presentation Layer because all the work was did it in ABAP;
besides that shows the limitation that I can not pass as input a table.
what is the best practice for reporting on SAP ECC using Crystal Report?
Thanks.

Hi,
Crystal Reports is able to leverage tables, ABAP functions, SAP query and InfoSets.
what is the issue when using the tables ?

Crystal Reports and Xcelsius Installation

Hi I have a mac book pro and wanted to learn crystal reports and xcelsius in a hands on way. I have created a partition on the laptop and am wondering which OS to install - Windows(if so which one) or Linux. Immediate goal is have an environment where I can use CR and Xcelsius with a non sap data source. My end goal eventually is to have an environment where I can use Crystal report and xcelsius with SAP ECC6.
I am trying to learn CR, Xcelsius with SAP ECC and SAP BW. Your ideas and isights are welcome.
Thanks

Hi Otto,
Thanks for the link. Your link will be a good start for me in terms of finding out the major components required to accomplish this 'project'. I am definitely interesting in collaborating and discussing the findings and exploring the areas of opportunity, so lets stayi in touch.
I dont have access to any windows os right now. So I am thinking about installing linux on my mac book pro since its free and probably going to beef up the ram to 3 gb (per my understanding max supported on my 2007 model). Hopefully this will get me going in the right direction.
Any recommendations on Suse vs Red hat. looking for something that is free.
Thanks

Crystal Report and Log4net error 1.2.10

Hi at all,
I have problem on Crystal Report and log4net.
It happens when I deploy the Web applications on the server.
I'm using Visual studio 2013 update 2, and I'm using log4net 2.0.3 (1.2.13) and I'm using CRforVS2013_13_0_10, the last.
When I deploy my application on the target machine, where I have also installed the runtime 64 bit for Crystal Report, I found this error:
ERROR 2014-07-31 16:26:42,721 1528053ms 8Euro                  - IP:192.168.0.38    - HOST:192.168.0.38 DumpWebRequest                           - ERROR: Exception of type 'System.Web.HttpUnhandledException' was thrown.

Exception StackTrace:
On my local Visual studio it works, works fine.
But when I'm deploying on Server, 2008 win 64 bit, I found this error.
I've tried everything, I've installed also the runtime 64 bit on the target/server machine.
The problem is that the log4net is not registered in the windows\assembly directory on the target server ? Do I have to use the Gac util to register the log4net dll assembly ?
Please help me, It one day that I'm facing this error, but I'm not able to solve.

Vittorio

Hi Vittorio
Please enter the search string 'log4net crystal net' into the search box in the top right corner. When the results come up, click on the Support Notes link. That will filter for the KBAs that you want to have a look at.

Select multiple items from a list box as values for a parameter of crystal report and Oracle procedure

- I have a Product list box (asp.net) used as multiple selected values for a parameter.
- The Product ID is defined in the Oracle procedure as NUMBER data type.
- In my crystal report, I have a parameter field allow multiple values as p_product_id type as Number. This is the code in my Record Selection Formula for the report:
({?p_product_id}[1] = -1 OR {Procedure_name.product_id} in {p_product_id})
- In C#, this is my code
List<decimal?> productUnit = new List<decimal?>();
int counter = 0;
decimal prod;
for (int i = 0; i < lstProducts.Items.Count; i++)
              if (lstProducts.Items[i].Selected)
                            if (decimal.TryParse(lstProduct.Items[i].Value, out prod))
                                productUnit.Add((decimal?)prod);
                                counter++;
       if (counter == 0)
                   productUnit.Add(-1);
ReportingDAO rDataFactory = new ReportingDAO();
retVal = rDataFactory.GetProductReport(productUnit);
public CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument GetProductReport(List<decimal?> productUnit)
          CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument retVal = new rptProductDownload();
          ReportLogon rptLog = new ReportLogon();
         rptLog.Logon(retVal, "RPT_PRODUCT_DOWNLOAD");
         retVal.SetParameterValue("p_product_id", productUnit);
I keep having the "Value does not fall within the expected range" when I debug. My question is, is the data type I used for procedure/Crystal report/ and C# correct ? I always have problem with the data type. Any help would be
appreciated

Crystal Reports and MII 11.5

Are there any documents out there on the pros and cons of integrating Crystal Reports with MII? Can it be done. If so, how can my company do this?

Hi,
The Software Crystal Report is a software for creating reports very good and the MII is a software for creating reports and integrate your manufacturing and more ...
Is possible integrate the two system, but I'm not view very advantages, because if you have installed MII in your company is much simpler to create the reports within the SAP MII.
That depends on your business if uses the reports to Crystal Reports and want to keep this software integrates the software, if your company wants more intelligence use SAP MII I think much better.
I not view documents in SDN about Crystal Reports and SAP MII.
See also on Xcelsius other tool very good.
Hope this helps...

Crystal Reports and Xcelsius 2008 Conference

Hello all,
I'm not sure which forum I should be putting this in so I'm putting it in the General Forum. We just purchased Crystal Reports and Xcelsius in the middle of last year and I missed last years conference. Is there a conference anywhere this year that that will really focus on Business Objects platforms? I downloaded the SAP TechED 2008 schedule for next month but everything seems to really be geared only to SAP activities which we have none of.
Thanks in advance,
Ron

Keep your eyes on the following link

This lists current events for Business Objects and should list the next user conference as it gets closer.

Crystal Reports and SAP BW Connectivity for OLAP

Hello,
Anybody created Crystal reports off SAP BW Infocubes? For some reason I am not able to create or configure BW sever connection. I installed Crystal reports and SAP enhance cd for OLAP.
Thanks
Tom

Hello,
I was able to connect and create Crystal report based on Bex query..no connection problem there. But, reporting directly off infocubes, the server type "SAP Business Information Warehouse"(add server option in OLAP connection Browser) not showing up in list of values.
1. I released Info query for PLE DB for OLAP as per
   user's guide.
2. The manual says you have to configure SAP BW server
   log on? For Bex query(Crystal) all available servers
   automatically available
Thanks

Crystal Reports and BW Query- Translation

Hello,
I'm trying to use Crystal reports with BW Query in the Hebrew Language.
When i open the Crystal Reports and connect to SAP I'm putting the Hebrew language key in the logon screen. When the crystal report starts i can see the reports info objects but without the Hebrew description. I can see that in the formula fields the Language key is selected but shouldnt i get the info objects description as well?
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
when I create a new report (using the SAP toolbar) I always get the descriptions for the info objects on the field explorer according to the language I set when I logon on into the SAP system my query resides in. I tried with both english and german language and it works fine. I assume you have installed the hebrew language pack for CR and that the hebrew descriptions are maintained in your SAP system. I also assume that you are talking about creating a report here and not opening an existing one though. In this case the language at creation time defines which descriptions are displayed.
If the above assumptions are valid, then you may face a hebrew language specific problem here. Opening a support case would probably make sense.

Stratos

Crystal Reports and SAP BW 7

Hi,
I have been reading these posts and got bit confused.
What do I need to integrate Crystal Reports and SAP BW 7 without BOE. My company has SAP NW license and Crystal Reports Enterprise license and plan to use CR for formatted reporting. Do I still need integration kit into SAP BW in order to create crystal reports on BEx queries and save into BW and view through the SAP NW Portal?
Or am I fine without integration kit?
many thanks

Based on the below Ingo's blog in BI expert we would only need the following:
You must install Crystal Reports Designer on the client
You must install the client components for the BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP Solutions
You must install an SAP front end with the SAP NetWeaver BI 7.X Add-On and the SAP BW 3.5 Add-On components on the client when using the connectivity on top of SAP NetWeaver BI
Users need to have the necessary authorizations in the SAP system. For SAP NetWeaver BI, this means that users require the authorizations to view and execute BI queries. There are additional authorizations for SAP ERP access in authorizations class ZSSI that are specific to the connectivity that BusinessObjects provides.
You must release the BI queries that you want to use with Crystal Reports for external access. You can set this property in the BI Query Designer.
So, no mention of BOE.
