Crystal report doesnt retrieve SAP data in infoview

Hi all,
I'm using integration toolkit for SAP to read data from a function module in SAP, when I run the report on a local machine, the report works fine and I'm getting data, when I publish the report in infoview, the report works but isnt retrieving any data.
I'm running BOE XI 3.1 FP 2.7, Crystal Reports 2008 FP 2.7, Integration toolkit for SAP FP 2.7
Any ideas?
Regards

Hi Efstratios, thanks for your reply.
Is the integration kit installed on your BOBJ server also?
The integration toolkit is installed in BOE and it works fine with other applications (WEBi).
Do you use a fixed user name and password to get the data from the SAP back-end?
Currently, the user and password is entered in the prompt when running the report in infoview, we are usign a SAP user with SAP_ALL profile.
DO you get an error message or just a blank report?
Just a report with format and no data
Thanks again

  • Failed to retrieve data from the database crystal reports 2008 in SAP  B1

    Hello friends,
                 I am using Crystal report 2008 with SAP B1 PL 8.8. When I run any report,  it runs correctly from Crystal Report. But whenever I try to open the same report through SAP ( Tools -> Preview External Crystal Report ), it prompts the parameters for that report and then open up the crystal report window and throws an Error message ("failed to retrieve data from the database. Details [Database Vendor Code: 156]").
               Please any one suggest me the corrective solution.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Keyur Raval.

    I had the same problem in SAP B1 2007. Report worked fine except when it was open from B1. Generally there may be different problems. In my case the same problem was caused by using some procedure which was in a specific schema. Changing the schema into "dbo" solved the problem.

  • Crystal Reports Templates usage - SAP BW MDX query data

    Hi Ingo,
    How are you?
    I am experiencing issues with crystal reports when trying to use crystal reports templates with SAP BW data.
    I have successfully created Crystal Report using SAP BW data with NodeID,  ParentNodeID hierarchy, Crystal Hierarchical Grouping.
    Also developed Xcelsius Dashboard using Live Office --> Crystal Report (SAP BW data) with refresh data on open.
    Now trying to create a template for new crystal reports to be designedu2026
    The following are observed by me:
    1.     When I create a crystal report using Report Wizard and select  templates from  the list shown, the following error displayed for SAP BW data:
    2.     When I try to apply template using Template Expert and selecting the report which is created using SAP BW data (and formatted), the following error displayed:
    u201CCould not apply template to the documentu201D
    I would like to know, whether there are known issues with Crystal Reports Templates using SAP BW data?  If so, could you suggest any solutions/work around to this issue?
    Thanks & Regards,
    S.Salai Manimudiyan

    I tried the following three methods:
    1. Applied all the 12 Crystal Templates
    2. Applied my own reports as Template
    3. Also applied Crystal Report developed using Templates Fileds.
    None of the above is working.
    Created a report with BW query data and try to apply all the above templates but the same issue.
    If I create a report using eFashion universe and apply all the above works without any problem.
    I do agree with you that templates should not depend on the data source, as it is mainly for the common/standard report page layout (to reuse)...
    Could you pl. check at your end and let me know the results.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • 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.

  • Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#

    Hi,
    I am new to the forums and posted a question which belonged to the .net - SAP Crystal reports group.
    Can someone help me with my problem? following is the thread that I have started.
    Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?
    Thank you in advance.

    Looking at the original thread, you are connecting to the text file via the DAO database engine:
    "I added the text file as follow, new connection -> Access/Excell (DAO) -> select the file and the database type as text"
    Thus I would use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database. See Kbase [1218178 - Error: "Logon failed" when connecting to Access database in .NET application|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313338333133373338%7D.do] for more information. If that does not work, you may want to consider connecting via ODBC or feeding the data from the text file to and ADO .NET dataset and pointing the report at the dataset.

  • BI 4.0 w/ Windows AD SSO, but Crystal Report (mdx) prompt login data

    Hi guru,
    We have been struggling for a while on the sso issue between BI 4.0, AD, BW, and CR.
    Our architecture is not complex:
    1. A BI 4.0 (BOE) on Tomcat (windows)
    2. Backend SAP BW as main data source
    3. AD, SAP Authentication are configured in CMC
    4. User can login to Windows Desktop (login to Win Domain) and then link to BI Launchpad w/o giving password (Windows SSO), it works.
    5. Crystal report can be published via BW to BI/2.0/.... folder on BI
    But one thing still not working:
    Our crystal report (using mdx for data accessing to BW) keep asking database login credential when a BI user login via Windows SSO. We want to get rid of this prompt and want to use a mapped R3 account for db access. each windows AD user has a corresponding mapped r3 account configured in CMC. We have tried, but not working.
    The only way we got to avoid the prompt is to remove bwmdx from Crystal Report SSO Config in CMC and manually change the published CR report to use "original data login" as well as assiging the r3 credential. But we have to do it for each CR report.
    Anyone have done this before ?
    Is it possible to Login via Windows SSO and then view CR report w/o giving pwd ?
    Or we have to do some special setting while making the report ?
    Or users have to login by R3 account to get such SSO ?
    Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for prompt reply, My answer is:
    No, SNC is not enabled.
    Since BO can get data via the following 3 method from BW, so I'm not sure whether SNC is a must (just for CR SSO)
    Universe(UNV) --> BW
    Universe(UNX) --> BW
    OLAP --> BW
    OK, if SNC is a must to link AD SSO to BW SSO, what kind of SNC (client vs server) should I configure ?
    Thanks

    Please guide me.

    Hi,
    To be able to report off an SAP data source in Crystal Reports, request the SAP Administrator to set the appropriate authorizations for the user.
    For a list of authorizations that are necessary for each type of SAP connection, consult the document:

    In the "Authorizations" chapter, there is a description of each authorizations needed for each type of connection and actions.
    ( The document is attached to this SAP Knowledge Base Article in the attachment section )
    In addition to the authorizations specified in the SAP Integration Kit Installation Guide, the following authorizations are required:
    For Authorization object: S_RFC with Field name: RFC_Name. According to the installation guide the values should be: SYST, /CRYSTAL/OPENSQL
    Additionally you will need the value: SUSR as well.
    For Authorization object: ZSEGREPORT with field name: ACTVT. According to the installation guide the value is: 02 (Change)
    Additionally you will need the value: 01 (Create or generate) as well.

  • 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.

  • Crystal Reports Based on SAP Function Module and Transperant Tables

    Hi,
    I need to develop reports based on SAP trasperant tables and to filter the records I require to use one of the function module in SAP.
    I have created parameters in Crystal reports that are required for the function to execute and are included in the where clause of the query. This helped the fuction to get those parameters and execute it.
    The thing is that the fuction works fine with one set of parameters and gives accurate results both in SAP and Crystal Reports.
    But fails for other set of parameters.
    It works fine when we directly execute function in SAP produces a record set. But, when we pass those parameters from Crystal Reports it fetches no data.
    Can anybody tell me the exact procedure to use function module and transperent tables together in Crystal Reports ?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Niwas Joshi

    Hi,
    This is going to be hard to explain, however you need to recognize that the function has input and possibly output (export) parameters.  Crystal Reports is able to work with these parameters.  However it is up to you to figure out how these parameters are used effectively to give you the correct results when joining the function with other data sources such as transparent tables.
    If you're using transparent tables and functions in a Crystal Report, then you need to link these objects in such a way so that a left outer join for example is using the function's output parameters to join to the transparent table equivalent fields.  However if the table is the starting point then the joins from the table should join the Input parameters of your function.
    you can set these joins in the Database menu | Database Expert | Links of Crystal Reports.

    Hi Neetu,
    Do you wish that at all customer site all concern involved in implemtation do the same work ?
    I believe ERP is meant for single entry system, and it should be true for implementation also, why to invest man hours for the same task ?
    I expect it standard reports should be released by SAP, so that speed of implementation improve, we have more nos. of satisfied customers.
    customised reports is all together different and it is understood that it is needed to be developed after study the exact requirement.

  • Crystal report error in SAP

    I have linked my first Crystal report into SAP (2007A), but when I try to run it I get an error. 
    Msg header "SAP Crystal AddOn"....Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms, Version = 12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
    I searched the SAP forums, but found nothing regarding this error. Anybody have an idea how to fix? I can't see my Crystal report.  Does the report need to be stored in a specific location for it to be called from SAP?  I was able to browse to it when I setup the link in SAP.

    Hi Shredder ,
    Actually you should have posted in reporting and printing forum ..anyway close your previous thread too..
    and please take a look at this
    *I copy from the other thread *
    Client you need to install .net framework 3.5 and Crystal Run time to run reports.
    in the client make sure the shared directory is accessible from run without any password
    and in the add on go to report properties and set the path to the shared folder .rpt files and apply changes
    use OLE DB connection

  • Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?

    Hi,
    I am a new user of Crystal Reports 2008.
    I have created a report with charts in it. The input data comes from a csv text file.
    Can I set the name of this text file as an input parameter?
    as I need to generate 44 similar reports with different text filenames(and data)?
    Thank you.
    Regards

    Brian,
    Thanks much.
    I did exactly what you said.
    Just to see any change, I first gave a bad report file name just to see if I am accidentally pointing to a different file,
    but I got an error saying report not found.
    Then I renamed my original datafile name and generated a report and it still generated one without giving an error.
    Then I also gave a junk name to the logoninfo and printed that name, the new name was assigned to logoninfo, but the code did not error out.
    It ended up generating the report.
    Now here is what I think is happening,
    1) The save data in report option seems to be still on even though I have turned it off in 2 locations
    a) file -> Report Options
    b) file -> Options -> Reporting tab.
    2) For some reason the logoninfo is getting ignored as well.
    Since I did not see any answers yesterday I posted a link to this thread on the .Net forum
    Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#
    and Ludek Uher says that I am connecting to the text file via a DAO database engine and so need to use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database.
    But the link he gave me tells me to try the same thing that we have been trying..
    Here is my plan,
    1) I will first try and find out why my save data with report option is still on ( but it shows off in Crystal ).
    2) why is LogonInfo getting ignored.
    Meanwhile any suggestions from anyone are welcome.

  • Problem to run the Crystal report inside from SAP B1 based on SQL views.

    Hello,
    I have a problem to run my Crystal report inside from SAP B1 which is based on SQL views.And the SQL views are stored in a separate database in SQL server.The error which i am getting is saying the the tablename does not exist.What i need to do in order to sort this problem.
    Great if somebody can help me to sort out this so that i can run my report based on SQL views stored on separate database other than SAP databases inside from SAP B1.
    Edited by: rozenagrawal on Apr 19, 2011 11:51 AM

    Try using a SQL synonym in your company database for the views outside the company database. I don't know if SBO will let you get away with it, but its worth a shot.
    If your company database is MyCompany and you have a view called MyView in Views database, assuming the view belongs to schema dbo, and you want the synonym to belong to dbo schema in your company database, run this:
    Use MyCompany
    go
    create synonym dbo.OutsiderView for
    Views.dbo.MyView
    go
    select * from OutsiderView
    The select statement should return the contents of MyView in the Views database while you are connected to your MyCompany database.
    For more info, see the Books Online for MSSQL on topic synonym.
    You will need to change your CR options to include displaying synonyms along with tables, views, etc. You may also need to grant select to B1 users.
