Crystal Report Enterprise 4.0 reports on SAP BW 7.1 Qry with Analysis Auth.

hello everyone,
We have created a crystal report using CR Enterprise 4.0 using a connection published (SSO enabled) in BOE repoitory on a SAP BW 7.0 EHP1 SP6 query. The underlying query has Analysis Authorization at place and variables are processed by authorization. We have also enabled SSO between BOE and BW server.
But when execute the report in BI Launch Pad, we get the following error
{bold} The viewer could not process the event.Failed to execute the query: '<java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: NO SelectionStateSupport! V8>' .Redesign your query or contact your data source maintainer to solve the problem [JRC00005372]
Error Code: 0 [CRWEB00000119] {bold} 
'V8' is technical name of variable on characterstic with authorization processing.
*We have given the rights of the connection to the users.
*We get the same error either we login using BOE Authentication or SAP Authentication.
*Web Intelligence reports on simillar query are working properly in the above mentioned scenario.
thanks and regards
Sushant Jain

Hi Don,
Thanks for your reply.
This is regarding CR Enterprise 4.0.
We have not re-imported the BI 4.0 transport files in our BW server, instead the older ones (of XI 3.1) are residing on BW server. But if I'm right then I think transports are relevant only while working with CR Designer 2008/2011 and not with CR Enterprise.
Hi Ingo,
Thanks for your reply.
-Yes, query is working perfectly fine in RSRT showing the data as per the respective User Authorizations on respective InfoObjects' values.
-Yes, the InfoObjects are restrcied by the means of Variabvle (with 'Authorization' Processing type, 'Varaible ready for input' unchecked, 'Optional' Variable) and are put in Characteristic Restriction area.
Regards,
Sushant

    Error:
    Failed to establish a connection.The cause was:

    Thanks for your quick response Henry....
    I checked all this things and all are working fine.
    Now I am able to connect to BOE server.
    The cause behind the issue was in "CMC > Applications > Web
    Service > Access URL:"  the URL was having different server name which we have changed earliar, I just correct the URL and issue got resolved.
    But now when I am trying to access BOE Server through Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0 client tool directly not from launch pad, it probes me the same error. (Note: I used the same parameters which i got from launch pad token to this)
    Is that a only way to use Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0 from launch pad ??

  • How to open the crystal reports 2008 in CRYSTAL REPORTS ENTERPRISE 4.0

    Hi All,
    Can you please let me know how can migrated the crystal reports from BO XI 3.1 to SAP BO 4.1 and after migrate how to open the crystal reports 2008 in CRYSTAL REPORTS ENTERPRISE 4.0.
    can you please help on this and if document please share.
    Thanks,
    Rajesh

    Use the upgrade management tool to move from 3.1 reports to BO 4.1. After migration, open the report in crystal enterprise 4.0, you will get a message saying that the report will be converted to latest version, will not be able to view from older version after converting. (Similar words- not sure exact words).

  • Migration from Crystal Reports 2008 to Crystal reports Enterprise(BOE 4.0)

    Dear all ,
    I m currently doing a project on Crystal reports 2008 where datasource is mostly SAP BW queries.  Our customer will have BOE 4.0 in coming months .  I have heard that in BOE 4.0 Crystal reports for Enterprise will be a better option for BW datasources.Is that true? So here comes my question , Is  it possible to migrate reports based on Crsytal reports 2008 to Crystal reports for Enterpise 4.0  afterwards. What will be best option for us , shall we build further reports on Crystal reports 2008 or Crystal reports 2011 or should wait until we have BOE 4.0 ?
    Thanks
    Best regards
    Atul

    Hi,
    We are going through the migration process from 2008 to Enterprise version. The only issue we are facing is the mapping of the Hierarchy nodeid and parentid. Other than that we were able to migrate most of the pieces from the report.
    Here is the overview of migration process:
    1. When you run the upgrade manager to migrate objects from BOE 3.1 to 4.0 it will automatically upgrade it to CR 2011 version.
    2. You then have option to migrate it manually by opening the report in Enterprise version.
    3. If you open the report in Enterprise version it will prompt you to connect to common semantic layer wizard.
    4. Before that you have to have your datasource ready for that report depends on how your CR 2008 is connected. (can be BEx query or Relational Universe)
    5. If its BEx query you have to maintain the connection in CMC under OLAP connection to your BW system.
    6. Next thing is to map the Source fields to Target fields (BEx query or Relation Universe via IDT) and your report will be converted to Enterprise version.
    7. You might have to resolve if there are any errors.
    Let me know if you have any particular questions if i can help.
    Thanks.

  • Crystal Reports Enterprise 2011 Crystal Server 2011

    Hi,
    I have created a ton of reports in Crystal Reports 2011 (Non-Enterprise). I have now installed and configured or at least try to configure the new Server software and Enterprise Edition of Crystal.
    I am opening my local Crystal Files, they open, ask to convert, then a window pops up saying it cant convert.
    I get prompted with a new data source connection window where everything is grayed out.
    I have 1 SQL Query that I need to use and for the life of me I cannot find where to actually create it.
    In examples I have seen and I have used previously in 2008 software I had Universes but either I have something incorrectly configured or its different and I'm lost

    Hi Rsheppick,
    CR20011 and CR for Enterprise are fundamentally different. It is probable that these differences are behind the behaviour you are experiencing.
    CR2011 is recommended to be used in scenarios where you need to leverage the current functionality that you received with CR2008, although is also has a few new features. Essentially you can migrate CR2008 reports as they are to a CR2011\BI 4.0 environment.
    With CR for Enterprise the key difference is in the supported connectivity offered. CR for Ent supports the BI 4.0 universes (UNX), SAP BEx Query Data Access and Analysis Views. It does not support any direct data source connectivity i.e. RDBMS, SAP ERP, or OLAP connections - other than BEx Queries. These connectivities are tentatively targeted for BI 4.1.
    So it is not simply a case of converting your CR2011 reports over to CR for Enterprise, you need to bear in mind the supported connectivity type of each reporting tool.
    The general advice is that you can choose to use SAP Crystal Reports 2011 or SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise based on the features and connectivity you need and then move to Crystal Reports for Enterprise at your own pace.
    Having said that I believe that reports created in the SAP Crystal Reports 2011 Designer should open in the SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise Designer (this is a requirement so that the data connection can be migrated for the Enterprise stack in the future). So if your problem persists and is not covered by the information in this post then it would probably be a good idea to log a support message with SAP.
    I hope this is a very helpful answer for you.
    Kind regards,
    John

  • Crystal Report Server 2008 vs Crystal Report Enterprise

    Dear all,
    We're planning to publish crystal reports for end users generate themselves. We've installed the crystal report server 2008 in a testing server however I am confused "Crystal report server 2008" vs. "crystal report enterprise". When I look into the administrator guide, it keeps telling me how and what crystal report enterprise can do rather than crystal report server.
    Are they the same product but different terminology?
    Your help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rachel.

    Hi Rachel,
    No, these 2 products are differents: Crystal enterprise is older as Crystal Server 2008, but the 2 applications have the same purposes.
    You can find here all the products guides about the Business Objects (and SAP) products:
    https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/bosap-support-guide
    In a sense, I understand that you are getting confused, as the documentation about Crystal enterprise is a great deal bigger as for Crystal Server 2008... For instance, I didn't find an "admin guide" for Crystal Server 2008, but you can find it for Crystal Enterprise!
    I suggest you to download the Business enterprise XI 3.0 admin guide, as many of the "server features" in Crystal Server 2008 are based on this platform (portal integration, send reports via emails...)
    I doesnt't find an ideal solution, and I fear you have to use a mix of 2 books in order to manage your application: the Crystal Enterprise admin guide and the Business enterprise XI 3.0 admin guide...
    Sorry,
    Wish you good luck !

  • SAP Crystal Reports data source connection problem using sap business one

    I am trying to create a Crystal report but when I try to configure a new connection it does not work.
    I select Sap Business One data source and try to complete the information required to connection but it does not list my companies databases, what is the problem?
    Our Current SAP related software details are as follows:

    SAP B1 Version: SAP B1 9 (902001) Patch 9
    SAP Crystal Report Version: 14.0.4.738 RTM

    I have also added some screenshots of the issues.
    Please have a look and let me know if you have any questions or any further clarifications.

  • SAP Integration Kits 3.0 with Crystal Report 2008

    Hi,
    I have installed Intergration Kits 3.0 and Crystal Report 2008.
    I open the Crystal Report Designer from Start >Programs >Crystal Reports 2008 > Crystal Reports 2008.
    As mentioned by Ingo, I have ticked the MDX driver setting via SAP menu option.
    I clicked on u201CCreate New report from queryu201D
    Selected the fields from the Query and placed in the report.
    When I click on Preview button, I hits the following:
    Database Connector Error: u2018Function module u201C/CRYSTAL/MDX_GET_STREAM_INFOu201D not found.u2019
    Another problem that I encountered is when I can only enter UPPERCASE for my SAP BW User ID and Password in Crystal Report (when I try to logon into SAP BW in Crystal by clicking on the u201CCreate New report from queryu201D). So I need to change my password to Uppercase in BW.
    Have you encountered this before? I guess it is related to installation problem? Should I uninstall and reinstall again?
    Please advise, thank you.

    Hi,
    So I just need to send the neccessary files mentioned in transports_EN.txt to my basis guys with your instruction. Then I should be able to use the MDX driver in crystal reports already?
    Correct!
    the SAP BusinessObjects documentation (and Ingo) mentions that the transports have to be imported. HOW to do this is an SAP Basis administration related issue and is NOT described in the BusinessObjects documentation.
    As far as I know the appropriate files (there is a dependency related to the version and the type (BW or R/3) of your SAP backend system) described in  transports_EN.txt) have to be copied in the directory which is set to be the tranport queue for your SAP system and then the admin can use the STMS transaction to import them.
    NOTE: In a BW system you have to import BOTH the SAP Basis transports AND the SAP BW related transports. That means you have to import in total 9 transports = 18 files

  • Error on file m293 when installing Crystal Reports Enterprise XI sp4

  • Should I install Crystal Reports Enterprise SP01 or SP03?

    Hi All
    We are using BO 4.1 SP02 and are now getting round to installing Crystal Reports Enterprise. I have two questions I can't find answers for:
    1. Should I be installing SP01 or SP03 of CRE. Our BO platform is SP02, but there is no CRE SP02, so I should choose to go with the older SP01 or the newer SP03.
    2. We have 2 servers. The main one is for the bobj platform, the second is for Explorer. I want to install CRE and Dashboards alongside Explorer on the second server. Any know issues with this approach?
    Thanks everyone
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,
    It is always recommended to install same versions of Client Tools as the BO Server.
    I could spot both the incremental upgrade and the full build for Crystal Reports for Enterprise - SP02 on the Server Market Place.
    This is where I found the full build:

  • Crystal 2011 prompts on adhoc reports dont show up in BOBJ 4.0

    Hi All,
    I have two issues with crystal report 2011 via BI launch pad BOBJ 4.0
    1. We created crystal reports 2011 on Bex query with some filters and promots and schedule the reports but when we try to open the report and referesh through BI launch pad in BOBJ 4.0 , it does not show any prompts associates with it. Note that report is published and scheduled.
    But when I save the same report on my local network drive and open it, all the associated promots shows up.
    I am sure it is not crystal report interface issue or BOBJ application it self or may be some kind of authorization but considering the fact that we can see the propmpts when report is saved locally on te network drive..
    2. We have created a project and addedd multiple reports in Crystal reports 2011  and then published and scheduled it.  We schedule the reports to go to users via email in excel format but it sends only one report (one attachment) per email, I like to send multiple attachments in one email. How could I achieve this.
    Your help and advice will be appreciated.
    Regards
    MD

    Hi,
    1. i'd recommend having a seperate BW for BI4 purposes.  If anything, it makes management of integration TRANSPORTs much easier, given that you can only have 1 version active..
    (yes, although there's no SAP IK Kit, transports are still imported into backend)
    2. OLAP BAPI access is still there in BI4.0,  namely for the CR 2011 tool with BW MDX Driver , and for Webi documents using the legacy Universe Design Tool  OLAP.unv file.
    the new OLAP data access driver for SAP in BI4.0 is the BW's BI Consumer Service (BICS API). The function modules for this are generally  called: BICS_PROV_GET*
    3.  No hurdle at all.  You can migrate your content as-is without fear of change.  that's principally why the CR 2011 client is there for the 4.0 RTC - for adoption and onboarding.  That legacy CR client technology is wholy unchanged, apart from .xlsx support and a 'read only' save mode.
    the Crystal for Enterprise product is still playing catch up. It hasn't got all (any) of the direct drivers you would expect from crystal, but it can consume the new .unx common semantic layer and the BICS jco driver (neither of which the CR2011 product can)
    ... as of 4.1 (Q1 2012) the fit-gap in features is answered. i.e. they've all been fwd ported.
    i hope this helps

  • Auto execution of Crystal Reports for VS 2010 report

    I'm very new to crystal and I've been searching for some time and can't seem to find a solution to this.  I installed Crystal Reports for VS 2010 and can run a report without any issues.  What I would like to do is basically compile and EXE that when I execute it, it will refresh a report and export it in whatever format and location I specify, without showing any GUI.  This seems like it should be an easy thing to accomplish, but I have had no luck yet.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Just don't load the report into crystalReportviewer1 and simply export to what ever format you need.
    Your users will need the CR runtime if they want to run your app. If you export to PDF or some other format then they can view the report only. Just share or e-mail the report folder.

  • Crystal Report Hyperlink to Sub-report or other report

    Hi,
    I would like to create a report on which the first part will show project summary page. The second part will have all project detail pages and third part with all project financial informations.
    The report should work in such a way whenever user clicks on any project at first summary page this has to jump to corresponding detail page of projects.
    I have the following question regarding design of this report.
    1. Do I need to create a saparate report as a sub report and then merge with main report in a footer section? Or is it ok to create sub-report within main report through sub-report wizard option?
    2. How can I establish hyperlink between the pages i.e. summary to detail pages?
    3. back hyperlink to first pages.
    I am expecting more information about hyperlink options within Crystal report.
    Thanks
    -Sunil Prasad

    Hi Sunil
    - For your first question: . Do I need to create a saparate report as a sub report and then merge with main report in a footer section? Or is it ok to create sub-report within main report through sub-report wizard option?
    You can create a separate report and then insert it as a subreport in the main report or create it with sub report wizard.
    Once you click on Insert -> Subreport, you can see there are two options, one is to point to an existing report and another is to create it through wizard.
    - 2. How can I establish hyperlink between the pages i.e. summary to detail pages?
    You can use the hyperlink between report objects.  Also you can apply a customized formula for this.
