Crystal Reports Add-on toolbar for BW

Hello Gurus,
Posted a similar question before but not of much help. I have SAP BW 3.5 on my system since long and recently installed Crystal Reports V10. I need to create reports in crystal reports using BW queries for which I need SAP linked to Crystal reports or vice versa. How can I obtain the CR add on toolbar for BW?
Any solution for this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nikki

Hi Nikki,
like mentioned in the conversation before.
Part of the overall Netweaver package is a DVD with the software for Crystal Reports and Crystal Enterprise.
On this DVD you will also find the Add Ons for Crystal Reports

Crystal Report add-on SAP B1

Hi Experts,
I have successfully installed Crystal report add-on on SAP B1 server, I can see the attached report in all modules on server as well as client machine, but when i tried to open any report on client machine, it is not opening but it is properly display on server.
Should i need to install crystal report runtime for all the client machine?
Pls. guide me for the same.
Regards
Kamlesh Vagal

Hi dear,
Install the crystal report prerequisites on every client machine you want to show crystal reports.
follow the below mentioned steps:
1. The installation disk or folder will contain a single setup.exe
2. Log on to the target PC as an administrator or admin type user (windows).
3. copy the setup.exe to a convenient location on the target PC and run setup.exe
4. Setup exe will install Crystal reports runtime (version 10), Microsoft runtime files and the add-on files. It is recommended that you keep the path selected by the installer. The default installation path for the Add-on files is C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\AddOns\SAP_CR_CRYSTAL_1_10.
5. Once the setup.exe has completed, log on to SAP as manager or any other superuser.
6. Using Administration | Addons | add-On Administration, register the Crystal Add-On, set the desired settings and restart SAP.
7. There is a known issue within SAP where with multiple add-ons starting automatically with a super user, SAP will shutdown as soon as the user logs on. If this issue occurs always log in through the choose company screen. SAP is aware of this issue and will be rectifying this in a patch.
8. Log on to SAP, as a super user.
9. Run Account setup from Administration | Crystal Reports Administration | Account setup
10. Type in the sa password for the SQL server that holds SAP databases, and click Update.
11. Click the u201CCreate Ext Tablesu201D button. Add-on will create the additional tables now (this process must be performed for each new SAP company once).
12. THE TASKS 3 TO 5 and task 10 INCLUSIVE WILL NEED TO BE RUN ON ALL PCS THAT NEEDS THE CRSYTAL ADD-ON. 13. Crystal add-on is ready to use. A help file is provided and you may test the add-on with the sample reports found in u2026\ SAP_CR_CRYSTAL_1_10\SampleReports. The help file can be found in u2026\SAP_CR_CRYSTAL_1_10
this will solve your problem.

Crystal Report Add On

Dear All,
I have SAP B1 crystal report add installed in my client computer. And also i already setup display menu for each user (which module should appear for each user). The problem is once i run crystal report add on, then SAP B1 will display all menu again for each user while they (user) don't want to see all these unused modules. Is there any setting to avoid this problem?
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
After staring the Crystal reports addon,again do the form setting for the respective user.
Then close sap b1 session.
Now log in sap b1,start the addon,all modules will not be displayed
I have checked in my test system and i am getting the desired result.
Kindly let us know if this solves your issue.

Crystal Report Viewer Credential Prompt for Report with Dynamic Parameters

The .NET Crystal Report Viewer is prompting for database credentials when launching a report containing dynamic parameters. This only occurs for reports created with SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer. Reports created with Crystal Reports XI designer (where dynamic parameters were first introduced) work correctly.
The credential prompt window contains the following fields:
- Server Name: <server name> (disabled)
- Database Name: <database name> (disabled)
- User Name: <empty> (enabled)
- Password: <empty> (enabled)
- Use Single Signon Key: false (disabled)
The values in the prompt window which are disabled are the database connection values used during the design of the report in the SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer.
Expected Result:
- No prompt for database credentials.
- Values read from the database should be populated in a drop down for the dynamic parameters.
Environment:
- Visual Studio 2010 (C#)
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4
- SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010
- SAP Crystal Reports 2011
The database connection is being set to use a DSN. It must be a DSN as the calling application is only aware of the DSN/Username/Password values. These values are being passed to the Crystal Report Viewer contained in a Windows form.
The database connection for the report is being set as follows:
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection otherwise the connection does not work
    if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
        internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
    // Supposed to set the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
    internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
The SetConnection method's signature is as follows:
   SetConnection(string server, string database, string name, string password)
As you can see from the code snippet above I am setting the DSN name as the server parameter, blank for the database parameter (a database connection using DSN should only require DSN name/Username/Password) and the database username and password respectively.
Is this a SAP bug?
Is this the correct way of setting the database connection to use a DSN?
Is there some other properties that need to be set somewhere else in the report through code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the pointer to the database connection code generator. After taking a look at the output from the tool I was able to finally get the dynamic parameters to load and populate properly without prompting for credentials. I needed to tweak the outputted code a bit to match my requirements of using a DSN only connection.
Instead of updating the database connection properties contained within the Report.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalReports.Engine namespace, I changed it to replace the database connection properties in the Report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel namespace. For one reason or another, using the RAS namespace solved the problem.
Below is the updated code with the change made:
using RAPTable = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table;
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection
    if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
        internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
    // Sets the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
    internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
// The attributes for the QE_LogonProperties which is part of the main property bag
PropertyBag innerPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
innerPropertyBag.Add("DSN", this.DSN);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UserID", this.LoginName);
innerPropertyBag.Add("Password", this.Password);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UseDSNProperties", "true");
// The attributes collection of the tables ConnectionInfo object
PropertyBag mainPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
mainPropertyBag.Add("Database DLL", "crdb_ado.dll");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_DatabaseType", "OLE DB (ADO)");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_LogonProperties", innerPropertyBag);
// Pass the database properties to a connection info object
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
connectionInfo.Attributes = mainPropertyBag;
connectionInfo.Kind = CrConnectionInfoKindEnum.crConnectionInfoKindCRQE;
connectionInfo.UserName = this.LoginName;
connectionInfo.Password = this.Password;
// Replace the database connection properties of each table in the report
foreach (RAPTable oldTable in this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables)
    RAPTable table = new RAPTable();
    table.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
    table.Name = oldTable.Name;
    table.QualifiedName = oldTable.QualifiedName;
    table.Alias = oldTable.Alias;
    this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation(oldTable, table);
this.report.VerifyDatabase();
Thanks again Ludek for the help.

SAP B1 Crystal Reports Add On and Crystal Report 2008

Hi,
I have posted the question at SAP Reporting Forum, but not much luck.
The following reports is created in Crystal report 2008.
From http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008V1/en/CR2008_SP2_Fixed_Issues_en.pdf, I tnocie there could be moemry leak for Sybase Connectivity, but we are using ODBC.
My client is using SAP 2007 SP00 PL49, SAP Crystal Report Add on is 2.0.0.7 and they have Beas 6.70.07
They have encountered problem "The request cannot be submitted for background processing" after printing about 8 times of the same reports consecutively. It is a work order reports which my clients prints for one operations at a time, with each operations generated 8 pages of output. There are 5 jpeg on the report, which is not huge.
Yes, I am aware there could be any problem related to that.
What I notice is, on the workstation with SAP Business One client running, whenever user print a report named "Work Order", in the temp folder it creates one .rpt and 26 tmp files (Note that I have made up the number)
Work Order {C0ECP901-C6F6.......}.rpt
~cpe{51DD9109........}.tmp
~cpe{71DD9109........}.tmp
~cpe{52DD9109........}.tmp
~cpe{53DD9109........}.tmp
~cpe{54DD9109........}.tmp
At the moment, for a temporary solutions, everytimes when the error comes up, my client have to log off from SAP Business One, clear the temp folder and then relogin before they can print the same report.
Anyone encounter the problem and manage to resolve. it.

In case anyone is interested.
I managed to drill down and get around with the following solutions. Still in progress of monitoring, but seems to solve part of the problem.
1. Open up the JPEG in Accessories--> Paint and notice that the JPEG is too big and cannot be seen without adjustting the scrolling bar. Reduce the image size seems to work.
2. The report is using dynamic graphic and reading JPEG path from a UDT with column 'type' and 'path'. Subreport is used with record selection Type='Precheck'. When there was no Precheck type JPEG, it seems to crash. We have asked client to add in type='precheck' and hyphen in path when it is not applicable. In that sense, it will return something to the report.
3. We also have subreport that read material issues. when there was no material issue in the subreport, it crash. So, we do the following:
- section express - tick suppress blank section
- right click subreport, tick suppress blank subreport.
- in Subreport, at report option, we select suppress printing when no records.
Note that workaround in point 3 does not seem to work for pictures. So, it might be worth suppressing with formulas.

Crystal Report add-on Sample Reports

Hi Experts,
I am using Crystal report add-on in SAP B1 2007, i would like to know about sample reports for the same.
has SAP provided any sample reports in crystal report add-on like they have for XL reporter?
pls. give me the link if anybody knows.
Regards
Kamlesh Vagal

Hi,
I have two questions:
I downloaded some sample reports, and try to connect them with the SBO database. When I use "Set Datasource Connection" I can see that the table in use is called "variance_xtab". This table does not exist in the SBO database, so I cant replace the connection.
Some of the embedded sample reports you get when installing the CR add-on require a login to the "COIMBRA" database when I try to replace with my own SBO database.
How can I get around this issues?
Regards Per Nymo

Action failed after start Crystal report add-on then Account Setup

Dear All,
We got an error message on a work station when start Crystal report add-on >> Go Account Setup >> type in sa password >> Action failed
Then I tried on the server. It used to work before. I type in the same password, the error message said 'login failed...'
The password is correct. I can login by using management studio.
Then I changed the password of sa user in management studio. On the server, after I changed password in Account Setup, it works. But on the workstation, I still have the same error message Action failed.
They are on SAP2007A PL06HF01, SQL2008, the OS of the workstation is Windows Vista business
Any idea? Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Yuka

Hi Yuka,
I moved your post to the Integration Kit forum.
Also be aware that CR 2008 supports MS SQL Server 2008 with Fix Pack 2.3 installed. MS also only supports MS SQL Server with their new Client. Go to the install CD for SQL Server and instlal the client Tools which installs a new driver.
Need to know what version of CR you are using?
Thank you
Don

Crystal Report add-on in SAP2005

Dear All
Our customer is on SAP2005A and SQL Server 2000 (they will upgrade to SAP2007,SQL 2005 by the end of
month) They have 3rd party add-on.
They installed Crystal report basic 2008 and add the report to SAP by using SAP crystal report add-on
They can onlyhave 1 user open the report in SAP. Is this a SAP behavior or they may have something
wrong for the settings?
They only need one workstation to design the report. So they only install Crystal report basic 2008
on one workstation. But they need all users can open the reports in SAP. Should they buy more
license? I need a clear answer for this. I cannot find the document on Portal. Please help. Thanks.

Yuka

Crystal Reports Add-On Must be a Superuser error

Hello All,
I could not find anything related to my issue so far, so please direct me , if there is already a solution in the post.
My issue is that I have installed the Crystal Reports Add-on version 2.0.0 and I can use it under Manager account in SBO 2007 just fine.
However when I try to launch the main form of add u2013on (frmCrystalReports ) to view/print a report under Customer Service user account it gives me an error:
- u201COnly super users are allowed access to this functionu201D
The form is seen in the menu and Add-on is started.
I have tried to give all the authorizations to the Customer Service user account -It doesn't work. Only when i check 'Superuser' for the Customer Service user it works!
How could I enable non-superuser accounts to use launch the form and view the reports? What could be a problem?
Thank you for any comments in advance.
Rahim

Gordon
It is Full License - the same license as the one that Manager account is using. Customer Service user is not relevant to a license type. Only authorizationwise, the user is configured to work with sales part in SBO.
In fact, it can be any user- even with all authorizations enabled , and unless "Superuser" is checked for a particular user in "users" form, the result is the error.
As you know giving "Superuser"' rights to all acounts is not an option.
Thanks
Rahim

Crystal Report Add-On not working

Hello Experts,
We have freshly installed Crystal Reports Add-On. when we start the add-on it says it is connected but when we try to access any of the forms in the Crystal Reports sap screen comes up with a message window stating
"There is already an open Datareader associated with this command which must be closed first"
which does allow any further transactions in crystal reports screens.

Dashboard based on Crystal Report's Latest instances for the logged in user

Hi,
I am trying design a dashboard based on LiveOffice-crystal report's latest instance for the logged in user. Also there is row level security in the universe on which the crystal reports is created.
In the live office connection i have selected 'latest instance by current user' in the refresh option and published the dashboard to InfoView.
when i open the dashboard in InfoView , i find the row level restrictions being applied for different users. But the data retrived is always on-demand data and not based on the latest instance of the logged in users.
Can anyone throw some light on this issue.
Thanks

Crystal Report add on displays all modules

Is there a possible way where i can retain the modules visibility setting once i run the crystal report add on?
By default, once the add on is started, it displays all the modules in SBO even if I uncheck some modules to display.
Thanks!

I would want to restrict each user on the modules I wanted to display in their menu but once i run the crystal report, all modules are displayed even if the crystal report is the only option in each module.

Setting VarChar Variable with String Parameter in Crystal Report Add Command

Setting a VarChar Variable with a String Parameter in a Crystal Report 2008 SP6.3 Add Command is causing an error with a SQL State of 42000. The Error Code depends on which value I select for the parameter. I created the @DateOpt string parameter in the Modify Command window, not in the report. If I comment out line 14 of the SQL the error does not occur.
I have attached the SQL Code and screen shots of the errors. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Since your parameter is of type STRING, you need to enclose references to it within the Command inside single quotes.
For example, instead of
SET @BeginDate ={?BeginDate}
use
SET @BeginDate ='{?BeginDate}'
