Crystal Reports 2013 OLAP connection server types

I wrote a Crystal Reports 2013 report using the OLAP Cube Report Wizard. In the wizard, it prompted for OLAP data and Select Cube was chosen. In the OLAP connection browser window, Add was chosen. In Server type, Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 10.0 was chosen. The report was then finished and worked fine. However, on a different PC, that Server type is not found if trying to re-create. Can anyone tell me what client tools must be installed on a PC for the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services 10.0 to show in the Server type of an OLAP connection. We tried installing just the OLE DB provider and now it shows under OLE DB connections but not under the OLAP Connections.
As an added question, does anyone know what must be installed on the Business Objects 4.0 server in order to publish the same report using an OLAP connection to Bus Objects? We have tried creating an OLAP Connection that works fine but the report does not seem to be using that type connection. I'm guessing it needs the client tool that will answer the first question.

Hi Nate
I'm a little unsure of where this is not working - WIN 7? MS 2003 Server?
What's the font problem you saw?
What database are you connecting to?
Is the ProvideX" ODBC driver supported on WIN 7 / WIN 2003?
Can you connect to the database via ODBC using any other software? I's like you to try SQLConn, see what that tells you.

Hi,

and on the ECC side we had to develop Crystal Authorization - how to develop this?
Can someone screenshot of these steps and please suggest if something else can be done.

Hi Pawan,
Search for the error and you should see many threads for this issue.
Anyway, this is what I found:

Hi there ,
I was just wondering if anyone has ever come across the needs to run a Crystal Report 2013 report file (.rpt) file from ColdFusion?

Hi Chetan,
If you have installed SAP GUI before the Crystal Reports then you need to reinstall SAP GUI or update SAPLOGON.INI file.

Hi - have you installed the SAP Integration Kit, as mentioned here? http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/businessobjects-bi-for-sap/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
Separately, I recommend going with Crystal for Enterprise with BW; lately SAP has said to only use Crystal Reports 2013 if you need more functionality with SAP ERP than Crystal for Enterprise

Cannot load report from server in Crystal Reports 2013 Viewer

Hello,
I am having trouble opening a report that is hosted on a Crystal Reports Server (2013) from the Crystal Viewer. I've created and uploaded the reports using the report designer (version 2013). The reports have been uploaded using the "Save As -> Enterprise" to save to my enterprise server. This part works fine. I then navigated to the Crystal Reports Viewer to open my report (that I just uploaded w/ the designer) from the server. Depending on the report, one of two things happens:
1.) I get a loading bar at the bottom right of the screen that says "Operation in progress . . ." followed by an error message:
Unable to Refresh Report
A problem occurred while refreshing on the server. The report may not be configured properly for refresh.
Please contact your server administrator. (me)
2.) I get a loading bar at the bottom right of the screen that says "Refreshing <file name of the report> (<server name>)" followed by... nothing. The loading bar goes away and nothing happens. It goes back to the screen that shows when the application first loads (blank canvas).
I've taken some basic troubleshooting steps to try and rule out any potential issues that came to mind, but I've not been successful.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi

.Unx Universes are Not supported by the legacy CR Designers (including CR 2013).
For that you have the new CR for Enterprise.

Hello Team,
We are trying to connect SAP Crystal Reports 2013 to SAP BW 7.00 SP26. This crystal report is being developed on the top of a BEx query accessing through OLAP.
1. We are getting an error- 'Internal Error: The reports applicatiton server failed'.
2. Also, when we try to upload the same report from CMC, we get an error."...................Failed to read data from the report. Reason: Unable to open the OLAP Cube......."
Please advise.

SAP tab in Crystal Reports 2013 issue

We are using SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP3 to build reports on BEX queries (BW 7.2). Creating a report via 'File' --> New connection --> BW MDX driver works fine, I can select bex queries & cubes and see the data. However SAP provided tab 'SAP' does not work as expected. When adding a new bex query using SAP--> Create new report from a query, I can see the list of queries and select one but it does not open and throws the following error -
"An error occurred while generating a new report templete.
No error"
Using the "File" option any change to the .rpt file forces BO admin to update "DB logon" information in CMC (currently i cannot save .rpt file directly on enterprise from Crystal client due to some issue) and we want to avoid this kind of maintainence using SAP authentication provided by using SAP tab, also the Crysal report prompts when run from BI launch pad request for prompt values twice (once for the report and once to pull list of values for each prompt) which can be avoided using SAP tab. I thought access to dev BW server is fine since the "File" tab works fine. Our BASIS team confirmed BOBJ dev servers have access to BW gateway. Am I missing something here, please help me with your experience and ideas to troubleshoot this as the only solution i could google was from a 2012 SAP recommended article to fix reginfo configuration files on SAP server
I reinstalled Crystal Reports client twice to make sure intallation was not the issue.
Thanks
GORO.

Deplying Crystal report on Oracle Appliaction Server

Hi
Our current application has Oracle reports deployed on Oracle AS and Oracle Report Server. Can we replicate same scenario for Crystal report.
Means can we use Crystal Report on Oracle App Server / Oracle Report Server. Or do I need to use Crystal report Server

CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
You need to understand the potential pitfalls of you process first.
First I'll assume that you have joined the two datasources on some field, something that you should include in your post. Please state in your next posting.
When you do so, then all of the processing related to joining the data happens within Crystal, and it is NOT a fast database server.
So it can take a looooooooooooooong time to do this, depending upon the number of rows and the joins involved. You haven't posted anything about the amount of rows returned by either query form Oracle or SQL Server, so we can't speak to that. Instead you say that you did it with Oracle and Access, which is pretty much meaningless here. The Access or Oracle table could have had only a few rows, this isn't a matter of Crystal slowing because certain types of connectivity or databases are used, it is a matter of volume.
I would consider linking the Oracle tables into the SQL Server database, or as many do, LINK (not import) all of the tables into an Access database and then do the queries in Access and expose a query as the source for the Crystal Report.
In either case, something will need to do the processing, and having Crystal do so is probably the slowest of your options.

Crystal Reports 2013 java-error "java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.crystaldecisions..." when promoting

Hi,
when promoting "Crystal Report 2013" report (with data connectivity BW MDX Query) from BO DEV to BO PROD with BO Promotion Mgmt (LCM), we get the following error message in LCM jobs history:
Resolution Status=Overwritten, Dependency Status=All the required dependencies are included.,
Commit Status=Commit attempted and failed.,
Promotion Status=Failure : Object promoted. Update failed.
Error: java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ByteArray:java.net.URLClassLoader@1d634758 incompatible
with class com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.PropertyBag:java.net.URLClassLoader@1d634758
The report itself is present on BO PROD, but the overwrite (BW DEV MDX Query-> BW PROD MDX Query) is not applied, so report connectivity still points to the BW Query on the development system :-( .
Moreover, the overwrite itself is detected when the job is "test promoted" ("active overwrite").
Before, we successfully were able to transport crystal reports 2013 with overwrite (the connection then pointed to BW PROD). No idea yet what suddenly changed that...
Any ideas what causes the error and what can fix it (no posts found, no SAP note, google also no hits)?
Best regards
Florian Pitschi

Update:
After more investigation, it looks as if the BO Server "CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer"
from time to time has an issue - not only when promoting, but also when viewing publications that contain Crystal Report documents or when executing them, the java class error or similar issue is thrown.
Did sb face similar behaviour and knows what is the root cause for "CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer" not working probably and throwing the java-class error? - it was running fine for several months, now, the class error showed up twice in one month.
We need to find out what is causing the issue (aleady checked tomcat and BO-logfiles...).
Best Regards
Florian

How to configure crystal report 2013 with oracle 11g

hey all,
i download trial version SAP Crystal Report 2013 and i have Database with 11g and i want to connect with my database and try to develop reports
but my issue is that i'm not able to connect with database. Can anyone please help to connect with database.
i am new be with oracle database so it will help me if any one go thru step by step or any link,

Hi Sandip,
All you need is a 32-bit Oracle driver to be installed on the machine you're developing the reports on.
If you already have both the 64-bit and the 32-bit drivers, make sure the Path variable under 'system variables' points to the 32-bit home.
You can then either create an ODBC DSN or use the 'Oracle Server' native driver that shows under 'Database Expert' to create the report.

Crystal Report 2013 Vendor Code 102

Hi,
I have been getting this error database vendor code 102 in Crystal Report 2013.
I have written my query in Command and created 2 date prompts of type date / datetime which is passed in query as mentioned below
('?From Date)
('?To Date)
I am using SQL Server 2005 ,
Now SQL Server 2005 stores datetime as yyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss 000 and when i am selecting the dates in Crystal, it is entered as dd/mm/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss
how do i make both the formats compatible ?
Is this the reason that i am getting Vendor Code 102 error ??
Can anyone suggest ?

hi Shivani,
you should be able to use the CONVERT() function on your datetime field in order to have it match up with the format of the command parameter.
as per this microsoft article, it looks like the value parameter should be 101.
not sure if this particular syntax will work as i don't have sql server...
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),{your date field|, 101) = {?your command parameter}
