Crystal Report orange link arrow to SAP B1 not working

Hello,
I couldn't find a way to insert the actual "arrow" icon into a Crystal report so I copied one from one of the Crystal Reports imbedded in SAP B1 9.0. I subsequently edited the hyperlink to point to the document number I wanted.
From the Format Editor dialog box, Hyperlink, the hyperlink website address is:
http://$b1$/link?table=OPCH&key=1
There was a formatting button to the right of the website address line. Clicking on it yielded a formula workshop dialog box that I edited as follows:
'http://$b1$/link?table=OPCH&key='+ToText({OPCH.DocNum},0,"","")
The Crystal Report runs fine in B1 and shows the link arrows. Hovering the cursor above the hyperlink in print preview yields the specific information for that record. For example, when the report shows A/P Invoice #4394 the screen shows a small pop-up with "http://$b1$/link?table=OPCH&key=4394". Clicking on the arrow brings up a window with a blank! A/P invoice with the cursor located in the "Vendor Invoice No." box (OPCH.NumAtCard field).
Why is this not working to bring up the correct A/P invoice? There are no errors indicated.
Thanks for any assistance.

Thank you, Nagarajan.
Those instructions are exactly what I've done with my report. However, the instructions start with the phrase "manually insert link arrow into Crystal report". OK, I did a Google search on "insert link arrow" and "crystal" and "reports" and "SAP" and there was only ONE webpage with these words on the ENTIRE internet--the page you sent me to. Crystal reports online help has nothing relating to a "link arrow". If there's some special aspect of this link arrow that I'm missing, it sure is a secret because there's nothing out there on this subject. I guess I'll have to copy the graphic from previous reports each time I need to do this.
CORRECT ANSWER:
In any case, I was able to resolve the issue by changing the text in the formatting dialog box from OPCH.DocNum to PCH1.DocEntry and it worked. Why it worked is beyond me. Guessing seems to be the one defining feature of doing work with SAP B1.

Crystal reports LOV cascading prompts row level security not working

Crystal report LOV cascading prompts with row level security is not woking when the crytal report cache server/page server cache (Oldest On-Demand Data Given To a Client (in minutes)) is turned on. But its working fine when the cache is turned off.

Appreciate the response.
Thanks

Hi Chen,
In terms of what could be done on the Crystal Reports end, there is no such controls available. However, your question may be better answered if it was posted to our Business Objects Enterprise forum.
It is at "BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration" section of the forums.

How to add an orange link arrow on a report

Hi forumers !
I added an orange link arrow on a simple report (just to know how to add the orange drill down link). My report displays the following fields: CardCode, CardName and Balance taken from OCRD table.
I want to add a link arrow on CardCode such that if I click on it, I can see the BP card. For this, i added the image of an orange arow, then create a hyperlink on it. The query I used is 'http://$b1$/link?table=OCRD&key='+{OCRD.CardCode}.
When I run the report and click on the link, IE opens and I get the following error message :"unable to open the page".
I've tried several ideas found on this forum , but I still getting the same error message.
My questions are:
How can I do to correctly see the BP card using the link arrow?
Is there any security settings in IE I must do in order to display the BP card?
Thanks !

Hi Yves
try to type at the end of your query the following
select cardcode,cardname,balance from ocrd
for browse
and execute it again

Crystal Report requests Database logon if SAP BW is datasource

Hi all
I experience the following:
1. SSO from SAP Portal to BOE works: I can view Sample Crystal Reports based on the BO-iView-template without additional login
2. SSO from SAP Portal to SAP BW works: a) I can view custom BW Web queries without additional login and b) the connection tests on the system object in SAP Portal run fine
3. I assume SSO between BOE and BW works because I can view Xcelsius dashboards based on BW queries within SAP Portal without additional login
Nevertheless I am presented a login screen ("The report you requested requires further information. -
Database Logon") if I try to view a crystal report based on a BW query, no matter if I start the report from InfoView, SAPGUI or SAP Portal. If I enter my SAP credentials in "Databse logon"-window I can see the report runs fine.
SAP Authentication in BOE seems to work (I can import users & roles). In all 3 systems I have at least Admin or equivalent permissions. If I change the Database Configuration for this report within InfoView ("Use SSO") it does make any change (I also read somewhere a reply from I. Hilgefort that this is not necessary if BW publisher service is installed correctly).
We use SAP BW 701.06, BOE XI31FP3.4 and SAP Portal 701SP6
I publish the report from Crystal Reports 2008 SP2 with the SAP-Menu -> Save Report.
I logon to InfoView-App with my SAP-BW credentials.
Any help appreciated!

Real solution is different, my other post is only a workaround:
1. SNC settings in CMC were not correct (Certificate path, path to sapcrypto.dll)
2. Relevant Serices have to run under local username
3. Username has to be added to PSE

How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes Scripts ?

<br />Hi all,<br /><br /> How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes 7 Scripts ?<br /><br /> <br /><br />Thank's <br />

Hi,
we are using Lotus Notes and Crystal Reports for preview and printing reports from our Lotus Notes Applications. We use the RDC object model. For previewing the reports we export them in an pdf-file and then start the PDF Reader to show the Preview. This works fine.
But with Crystal Reports > 11 the RDC Object Model is no longer supportet, so we look for another way to preview and print our reports.
I try to preview a report build with crystal report XI release 2 in my thick client (Lotus Notes) using java reporting component JRC, this report uses an native xml file as datasource. If the datasource is saved with the report everything works fine, but otherwise I have the following error:
JRCAgent1 detected an exception: javax.xml.namespace.QName: method getPrefix()Ljava/lang/String; not found
I also tried the .jars from Crystal4Eclipse. Doesn't work. When I use Eclipse to view the report everything works fine. The class QName exitsts in the jaxrpc.jar and in the xbean.jar, but only in the xbean.jar a Methode getPrefix exists.
This is what we tried:
Works fine with RDC. Doesn't work with JRC until now.
Did this help you ?
Perhaps you con help me with the JRC, because I'm a java newbee so any ideas could be helpful.

How are you resetting the password?
Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
In Terminal, type:
resetpassword
...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
Good luck,

1) Throw your code away and use h:dataTable instead of c:forEach to render a table of dynamic size.
or:
2) Hand-assign every UIInput and UICommand element inside the loop an unique ID. E.g. "commandLinkId" + loopIndex

SAP Crystal Report 2013 on Windows 2012 and Lotus Notes Databases

Hi everybody, does someone already try to use version 2013 of Crystal Report to report Lotus Notes databases content?
We have been used older version for about 10 years without any difficulties as a native driver exist for Lotus Notes.
But installing the version 2013, we have discovered that lotus Notes is not anymore present int the list of database to connect to...
Can anyone provide sonme help?

See the SAP Crystal Reports 2013 Product Availability Matrix (PAM), page 9 and download the doc linked to there. According to that doc, Lotus Notes is now only supported via ODBC only.
Also, the search string 'lotus crystal 2013' (search box in top right corner) brings up the following KBA:
1238167 - Cannot create new report off the Lotus Notes Domino native driver in Crystal Reports

Crystal Report Date Prompt Query from SAP BW

Dear Support,
Using Crystal Report 2008 and Query is design In SAP BW
Date Prompt is made mandatory in Query at Query Designer.
Problem: Requirent is that Date promt shoud take value currentdate-1
when report is excuted first date prompt will show in that prompt value should have today date - 1 which is yesterday date.
how to pass formula to date prompt?
Thanks

If the prompt value should always be CurrentDate -1, then there is no need to use a prompt at all. Just put the formula to the selection criteria.
If you want the prompt to default to CurrentDate -1, while allowing the user to change the prompt to another date if they wish... That won't work. CR won't allow you to use a formula as the default value in a prompt.
If there is a BO Universe between you and the tables... IE, you're building against the universe, you'll need to get with the universe designer and have them make an alternate field available that has the formula hard coded in the SQL as opposed prompting.
HTH,
Jason

Run a Crystal Report published on BW from SAP NetWeaver Portal without BOE

Hi all,
We need to create a report using Crystal Reports, save it to BW, publish it to SAP NetWeaver Portal, and run it from SAP NetWeaver Portal. We do not want to use BOE here.
Currently, we are able to save the report on BW.
With Xcelsius, we have seen that we can directly refer to the dashboard's technical name from SAP NetWeaver Portal. Is similar thing possible using Crystal Reports? If yes, how this can be achieved?
Regards,
Dhanesh Aradhye

take a look here:
Portal Part 1
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2010/03/29/sap-businessobjects-enterprise-sap-enterprise-portal--part-1-of-4
Portal Part 2
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2010/03/30/sap-businessobjects-enterprise-sap-enterprise-portal-part-2-of-4
Portal Part 3
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2010/04/08/sap-businessobjects-enterprise-sap-enterprise-portal--part-3-of-4
Portal Part 4
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2010/04/21/sap-businessobjects-enterprise-and-sap-enterprise-portal--part-4-of-4
but you still need the BusinessObjects Enterprise system as only the BusinessObjects system will actually render the report.

Crystal report Subreport linking error

Hi, I have a issue with linking subreport to main report in crystal report. I created a main report with BEx query as source and this query had fiscal year/period as variable. I have a another subreport with different BEx query and this query also had fiscal year/period variable.
I linked main report fiscal year/period parameter to subreport fiscal year/period parameter.I can run the report and see the data, however In the parameter selection screen I have two prompts with fiscal year/paeriod variable. How can I make this report to prompt fiscal year/period once?
I treid to link main report field and subreport parameter, in this case it is prompting only once but I am getting below error.
[Mon May 23 11:30:08 2011]     5120     5628     ERROR: .\crdb_bwmdx_execution.cpp [478]: l_bapiSelectData failed with return code RFC_RC = 0 Exception: BAPI Error: BAPI Error #:0

Please advice.

Hi Sasi
i had the same issue with main report - subreport linking over Bex Variables. So far i realised a workaround by
giving the value to the subreport variable in the obviously requested format.
I had to provide the value with leading zeros (internal Numc format).
In my case I had a compounded value. By running the rep from CR local I have to give the value as usual like "ED/20080" but when running on infoview the subrep variable demands this format "ED0000020080".
Veeeeery special, but it works.
Obviously, when running this thing on infoview the variable in the subrep demands the internal fomat.
But me to, I'm very interested in an explanation of this behavior and by when it's solved. We have BOE XI 3.1 Sp 3 FB 3.
Ingo, can you help?
regards alex

[Crystal Reports 2008] - Logon failed in SAP system

Hi everybody,
I have installed on my notebook Crystal Reports 2008 trial version and the Integration Kit for SAP Solutions that I found on this web page: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/18962
When I try to open a SAP Data Source, Crystal Reports finds the connections I have in my SAPLogon and ask me credential infos. I get the following credential error:
"You do not have the necessary rights to design reports against the SAP System"
The user I enter has full administration right on the system, which is a SAP R/3 Enterprise.
Thanks,
Valerio

Hello Valerio,
Please make sure you install the corresponding transports for the Driver you are trying to use in Crystal Reports.
The transports are available on the SAP Integration Solution CD.
thanks

Single Crystal Report based on Five different SAP BEx Quries.

Hi,
I need to create 5 different Charts (in a single report) based on five different SAP BW BEx Queries. These are charts with 3- axes i.e. X,Y,Z.
The example requirement is to create Line charts (Vertical Mixed Line Charts) and deatils are as follows: The chart should show CPU Utilization % for different servers (eg. Servers1,2,3,4,5) for each day in a particular month.
Axes details:
X- Axis - Date eg: 01 /09/2010 to 30/09/2010
Y-Axis - CPU Utilisation Percent
Z-Axis - Servers from 1 to 5
The above detailed chart comes from a BEx Query . In this way there are four more BEx queries which should give four other charts.
My queries are:
1. Is this possible to create a single report using five different BEx queries and Create 5 different charts(one chart from each BEx Query) in a single tab as in the current manual report.(All the five Line charts should be downloadable to a single sheet in Excel)
2. One more, should I use Crystal Reports only? The charts are of high format natute so Web Intelligence will not produce the same. Is any other tool that helps for this requirement.
3. I can create five different Universes based on BEx Queries. Is this possible to create a single report from five different Universes.
Please advise.
Nanda Kishore.
Edited by: Nanda Kishore B on Oct 21, 2010 8:05 AM

To start with you cannot use SAP BW universes in Crystal Reports., YOu have to use the BW MDX driver.
For performance reasons I would suggest to add 4 subreports into your main reports containing each on of the 4 remaining charts.

Stratos
