Crystal Report query on top of BI Query : Exception raised in infoview

Hi experts,
I have created a crystal report query on ntop of a BI query and exported to BO.
  - For the BI query without variable, the crystal report runs with success in infoview and Crystal report
  -For the same BI query with a  variable, the crystal report does not run. A java exception is raised
Please could somebody tell me what is the pb ?
Tha

Hi there,
Actually i am investigating the best way to produce Cristal Clear Reports using data from BI, so Cubes, DOS, etc. As far as i know BO use BEx queries, then CR can produce Reports, but i thought it works for all cases, i mean calculation, filtering and variables.
That's quite disapointing because i already told my client i will use his old BEx Queries to produce Reports with CR (frozen Reports), so use CR as Workbook to present them in fancy way.
Any comments will be welcome.
Al.

    Hi,
    I would first of all suggest you don't open the same question twice. this looks like a duplicate to this entry:
    Best Practices v3.31 - SAP InfoSet Query connection
    Did you assign the queries and the infosets to an InfoSet user group and you assign the SAP account to it as well ?

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where a sql query will be entered by the user in a text box and in the back end java code, i have to create a crystal report dynamically based on that sql query and show it in the crystalviewer object.
    For example if the user writes "select x,y from xtable ", i should be able to create a report with 2 fields, and if the user says "select x,y,z from xtable" then i should be able create and show a report with 3 fileds...thsi report creation should be done in the click event.

  • Crystal report with prompts takes very long time to open in infoview BOXI3.

    Crystal report with prompts takes very long time to open in infoview BOXI3.1?
    Is there any way to increase the performance.

    Ramsudhakar,
    There are several items that could cause these slow down problems. Without knowing more about the way your environment is setup, I could cause more problems, by giving out performance tips. You would need to be more specific in your post.
    What we know. BOXI3.1
    What we don't know.
    O/S
    App. Server
    Hardware Spec's
    ETC.
    I see that this post has been out here for some time. So if this is still a problem for you I'll try and help, if you provide more information.

  • No data in Crystal report created on SAP BW BEx Query

    Hi Experts,
    I am trying to create a Crystal report on top of a BW query. I am able to login to the BW system and open the BEx query and the objects are coming into the crystal report.
    But when I drag and drop some objects into the details area and try to preview sample - it does not show any data (it shows accessing database but doesnt bring any data)
    I copied the generated SQL query in to the section in the BW system in transaction code 'MDXTEST' and it runs correctly and shows me the result below there.
    Just to try - I unchecked 'Use MDX..' check box by following the path SAP->Settings to check if that could bring back data ... and YES that worked which means data is not coming from the BW query with MDX connection but when MDX seems to be fine and retrieve result when I run the sql statement in tcode MDXTEST.
    Also when I do preview samples - I can see in SM50 in BW system that it is trying to run the report just that I am not able to see any data in my crystal report.
    Any help in this regards would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sunny

    Hello
    The order of display of attributes in Webi and Crystal report would be different.
    Collapse the infoobject and skim through the attributes, you should be able to find them.

    Now, i have to establish the connectivity to BW (InfoCuve and BW Query) and SAP eCIBS system. As my customer requirement was required to using WEBI, CR and Xcelsius for connecting to BW for getting the data and then using scheduler in BOE for performing report distribution. Some of the report will connecting to SAP eCIBS directly and that will using our Client's machine for creating the report (using CR2008) and then publish to the BOE platform for report scheduling and distribution.
    My question, i wish to install SAP Inter Kits and downloaded Inter. Kits for SAP Solution 3.1 SP3 from service market place. When i refer to the document from help.sap.com; there are couple of section but i wish to know which are the perquisite section that i wish to install and configure?

  • Crystal Report XI: Can you write your query in SQL instead of using the GUI

    Hello
      In crystal report version XI, can you write your query in sqlplus and then use the crystal report designer to build your report instead of using the GUI . I would like to be able to go database and show sql query and open that query and make changes directly there, is that possible on this version, if yes is there a setting somewhere? Please let me know.
    Thank you
    alpha

    Moved to Database forum.
    No you can no longer modify the SQL directly. Use a Command Object to enter the SQL directly.
    Thank you

  • Crystal report error after changes in BW-query

  • Crystal Report based on BEX 3.X query + Hierachies

    Hi,
    I have built a Crystal Report (2008) based on BW Bex 3.5 query.
    The report has a hierachical group based on a hierachy
    similar to the strategy used in
    http://blog.mastering-sap-and-businessobjects.com/2009/07/10/crystal-reports-and-sap-bw-hierarchies--conditional-formatting-part-2.aspx
    Certain sub and parent nodes in the hierachy have suppressed to make sure the report is formatted correctly.
    The user running the report does NOT have the option of choosing the level of nodes to hide  or show.
    At this point in time the report is showing the correct nodes, however there is a concern that once users start re-arranging the hierchies and adding nodes that the reports will have to be maintained. (Which I think is a catch 22 situation)
    Does anyone have another suggestion how to have the reports be "Dynamic" (based on the hierachy) and still not have the danger of the hierachies changing and affecting the Reports
    (I certainly can think of no other ways EXCEPT creating a structure in the BW Query - which means that in any case if the hierachies changes, the BW Query will have to be maintained)
    Kind Regards,
    Nicole

    Hi,
    Crystal Reports is using a parent child relationship which means the complete hierarchy is dynamic and in case your hierarchy is changing on the BW side Crystal Reports will pick up those changes automatically - assuming we talking about additional levels or levels been removed.

  • Crystal Reports 10 Datasource Location and SQL Query update

    I am running Crystal Reports 10 accessing SQL Server 2008 database on Windows 7. Our product changed database names and I'm trying to update reports to point to the new database. Sounds nice and simple. The database has no structure changes yet, it's just a copy and rename of the old database. Both databases exist, same SQL instance, same permissions, etc. ...
    Existing working report:
       Has an ODBC (RDO) location to database DbVersion1
       If I run Show SQL Query, the database name is in the query text (i.e. FROM DbVersion1.dbo.MyTable)
    Attempted:
       In Set Database Location popup, I created a new ODBC (RDO) connection to database DbVersion2
       Updated Current Data Source for report to this new ODBC (RDO) connection.
       Ran Verify Database. Popup stated "The database is up to date."
    But when I run "Show SQL Query", is still shows DbVersion1 in the text, and the report displays data from DbVerison1. When I display the Datasource Location for the report, it shows DbVersion2 as I changed to above. How do I "refresh" the SQL Query to recognize the new Datasource Location?
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Hi Gary,
    A possible couple of issues, CR 10 doesn't support SQL Server 2008 and it doesn't support Windows 7. We had to update CR XI R2 SP 6 and above to make SQL 2008 work. MS changed the name of their client dll so CR is not aware of the new drivers.
    MDAC native driver may work but not sure....
    Try OLE DB, it may work better.
    Thanks

  • Crystal reports on SAP-BW 3.5 query - problem w. properties of key figures

    Dear experts,
    Creating a crystal report on a SAP-BW 3.5 query we have the following problem:
    In SAP-BW query we defined a restricted key figure with property
    'Calculate single value as Ranked list (olympic)'.
    Within SAP-BW it works correctly; in Crystal Reports we see the
    key figure without the defined property.
    Example
    SAP-BW

    4812            2
    4913            3

    Could anyone give us an advice to solve this?

  • Crystal Reports - Problem with too long BEx Query technical variable names?

    Hello!
    I have Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 and the SAP BO Integration Kit XI 3.1 SP3 installed and want to access a BEx query on a BW system within my Crystal Report.
    The problem is that the name of the BEx variable is not displayed correctly (just "[]" is displayed for the variable name) as a parameter within Crystal Reports when I import the query. Furthermore I can't navigate through the fields of the query within Crystal Reports.
    The technical names of the BEx query-variables have a length of 12 characters.
    The interessting thing is that if I change the technical names of the BEx query variables to a maximum length of 8 characters everything works fine.
    I use the SAP toolbar within Crystal Reports 2008 to create the report and have the "MDX-driver"-setting selected.
    Has anyone ever had the same problem? Any suggestions?
    I don't want to change the technical names of the variables of my queries...
    thanks,
    Dominik

    Hi!
    Just fixed the problem: The "Transports" for the Integration Kit had to be imported at the BW-System

  • 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,
    S.Salai Manimudiyan
