Crystal Report Connectivity to Function module

Hi,
I have a crystal report which is connected to a Function module in ECC(dev). After the function module moved to Quality I could repoint the crystal database to Quality. Later, some changes were made in the function module fields (eg: change in field length etc) by the field names were kept same. now when i try to repoint the database it says field not found and the report canvas becomes blank. but I can see the fields in the field explorer.
is there a way to correct the error?
Thanks, Arka

Hi Arka,
When you open the report then log into the DB and then click on Database, Verify Database. This should update the database info and changes in the report. CR keeps track of the DB it's connecting to so if you make s changes you must Verify the database to update the info in the RPT file also. Be sure to save the report.

Ingo,
I've downloaded V 10 and installed it. But it does not display 'SAP' in 'other datasources', when i start creating report from crystal reports using other datasources.
When i downloaded V 8.5 addon, i 've installed crystal report v 8.5 and then installed v 8.5 AddOn. This atleast shows SAP menu in it. but when i start creating report from it, it displays same missing function module problem.
So in both version, I'm having problem. In V 10 SAP menu is not appearing and in V 8.5 SAP menu appears but missin function module problem. Is there any Addon for V 10.
Please guide me.
Thanks,

Crystal report connects to BW RFC by JAVA

Dear experts,
I want to wirte a JAVA program for exporting our reports as PDF files.
Reports are designed in Crystal Report 2008 and data source is connect to SAP BW via RFC.
I have checked all the sample codes and there is no datasource for SAP RFC, all for database like ORACLE.
How to set a JNDI for connecting to SAP BW?
Could anyone have any idea for this issue?
Thanks a lot.

Hello, hanmingTW!
Are you talking about calling RFC functional modules from SAP? If yes you can use POJO-objects as datasource. Attributes of these objects will be fields in report.

Now i went to Transaction : SOST, here i see my document with the Message Status :
DEFINITELY cannot transfer message to node EMAIL due to connection error.
What Exactly does this message mean.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Crystal Report connecting Multple ECC systems

Hi,
I am working on crystal where I compare the data between to two diffrent databases(ECC tables). I am using SAP Table, function mudule option to create connection.
I have built a main report against ECC system A and imported a sub report built on ECC system B. Now I see that connection in my main report is overwrting the connection in the sub report. If I change the connection in the subreport with set data source location it changes the connection of both sub report and main report. After I deploy this report to infoview, in cmc I see only one database connection.
Is this a bug or can we have only one connection to ECC system per one crystal report even if it has sub reports?
Thanks

Yes that happens automatically, I just checked the same logic with universes built against oracle data source, I could see two coonections in the CMC. Its like its there is this issue when I am connecting to sap tables directly

Crystal Report Formula field function on OLAP SAP BI/BW Cube

Dear All
We create OLAP Cube Report in Crystal Report 2008 (BO) base SAP ( DB2) BI/BW Cube, Grid report coming correctly. Crystal Report Formula Field functionalities are not avilabel or suporting. If any one explain or some kind of documentation available pl. help me.
Thanks, in advance.

Hi,
you are using the OLAP Grid which will only have limited functionality. You can use the BW MDX Driver and then connect to a BEx query and you will have the complete functionality in CR

Crystal report calling SAP Function

Can anyone guide me on the the step by step procedure for creating a crystal report by calling a SAP remote function ?

Hi Raji',
Are you using the Business Objects << SAP Integration Kit >> ?
What is the SAP source you are reporting from?
To the best of my knowledge, the list below (of integration points are enabled by this Kit) shows the available possibilities:
SAP BW (Infoset, BW Query, BW MDX and ODS)
SAP R3 / mySAP ERP (transparent tables, pool tables, cluster tables, views, ABAP functions and ABAP data clusters)
& Also web portal integration to: SAP Enterprise Portal (SAP's Knowledge Management - Repository Framework Interface, iViews etc)
To Confirm - the workflow in Crystal Reports would be: Expand Create New Connection > use the Open SQL driver, expand "SAP Table, Cluster, or Function."
Specifically, I refer to the downloadable document ( http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_bip_sap_user_en.pdf )
To begin, please see sections << Reporting off ABAP functions >> on page 114 and << Reporting off ABAP data clusters >> on page 121
I hope this helps
Regards,
Henry

Question on crystal report connections

Hi,
Not sure if i'm at e right forum. But I have this question, can anyone help me with it?
I'm developing on ASP .Net 2.0 + Crystal report (Version=10.2.3600.0), I got to know that my client actually only have license to run Crystal report with concurrently of 3 max active connection per time.
Is there anyway to detect the number of connections currently being used? Or anyway to return a significant error/status to inform user that there is no active connection available for usage at e moment?
Either that, or how crystal report actually determine the number of connections?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the answer.
But it will be better if i can know what is the return error code or status when the crystal report(CR) hits the max (of 3 concurrent user). I been searching high and low for it, but failed to do so.
I was hopeing that I can create a function or something to detect the error code or status return when CR hits its max.
I'm developing on VS 2005 With crystal report, which comes along with it. If i'm not wrong its CR 9. Correct me if I got e versioning wrong. =)
Any idea?

Databases that Crystal Reports 9 can function with

Hi,
We are going to purchase Crystal Reports for the use with a new financial program that we will be purchasing. The financial program that we will purchase allows report customization within the program if using the Crystal Reports 9 engine. For that reason we are going to purchase Crystal Reports 9. Otherwise we would have to create custom reports outside of this program if using a more recent version of Crystal like 2008.
However we need to make sure Crystal Reports will work with our SQL Server 2005 database. I tried to research a bit on Crystal Reports 9 (of which currently I know nothing about) and came across this document when doing a search https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/202ff507-281f-2b10-78b6-b6bce2668d6b.
We also need Crystal 9.0 to work with Paradox and BDE databases. It looks like BDE 5.1 and Paradox 8 & 9 are listed as supported platforms. I also see SQL Server 2000 but do not see SQL Server 2005. Will Crystal Reports 9.0 work with a SQL Server 2005 database and also what are the plans for Crystal Reports 9.0 working with future versions of SQL like 2008?
thanks,
JW

Problem with calling a report from a function module. Please help! URGENT!

Hi Experts,
   I have a scenarion like this:
XI -
> Function Module -
> ABAP Report
From XI I am callingf a function module in another R/3 system. This function module inturn calls a ABAP report using SUBMIT statement. The function module and the report reside in the same R/3 system.
I am calling the report like this:
SUBMIT yseg_save_bp_data WITH SELECTION-TABLE rspar
                             AND RETURN.
The problem is when I run the function module directly in the R/3 system then it calls the report without any problem.
On the other hand, when I call the function module from XI then the report is not called. On debug mode I found that the program exits just at the Submit statement. Why is this strange problem?
What mistake am I doing? Is there any limitations or restrictions with SUBMIT statement.
What is the correct way of using submit statement in this scenario?
Kindly help me!
Thanks
Gopal

Hi Rao,
   I have created the FM as remote RFC. Infact XI is able to call the FM. Only problem is when it reaches the point where the report is called via SUBMIT it exits.
Help me please!
Thanks
Gopal

There is a specific set of authorizations that you need to provide to your SAP user to be able to create CR reports against SAP data source. Check in the "SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Integration for SAP Solutions Installation and Administration Guide" chapter 13 called "Authorization".
