Crystal Reports and Adobe Flex Connectivity

Good evening fellow Crystal Reports and SAP experts.
Im developing a small application in Adobe Flex that after feeding some extra data, allows me to call a Crystal Reports Print Layout that feeds its information from SAP Business One. Does anyone know if its possible to call the print layout directly from my application in Adobe Flex like SAP does for printing?
If so, could anyone help me with the SDK and code needed?
I thank everyone in advance.

Hello,
Try the Business 1 forum. I've never seen anyone who tried using all 3 parts at one time.
Thank you
Don
PS - sorry I can't move your post.

Crystal reports and adobe workflows server

Hi,
Is there a way to integrate crystal reports and adobe workflow server
Regards
Raja

I believe AWS 6.2 supports Crystal Rpt 8.5, but don't hold be to it.
The AWS appl. does come with prebuilt reports incl. You should check the documentation concerning installation, but I believe AWS requires the Crystal Engine to be installed on the same server as the AWS Web Access component.

Crystal Reports and ODBC (RDO) connection

Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 2005 and Crystal Reports 2008. I connected my Crystal Report to the SQL database using an ODBC (RDO) connection. In the past I was able to add a field to a table in the database, and I was able to see the new field immediately in Crystal Reports.
Now, when I add a new field to a table in the database I'm not able to see the new field and I no longer receive updates when something changes in the database. Two questions:
1)Any idea what might be causing the disconnect between the database and my report?
2)Is ODBC (RDO) the recommended connection for what I'm trying to do?

Once you connect to your DB then click on Database and Verify database. This will update the filed list in Crystal.
OLE DB is actually a better connector to use as it has more power than ODBC.
Thank you

Crystal Reports and SAP BW Connectivity for OLAP

Hello,
Anybody created Crystal reports off SAP BW Infocubes? For some reason I am not able to create or configure BW sever connection. I installed Crystal reports and SAP enhance cd for OLAP.
Thanks
Tom

Hello,
I was able to connect and create Crystal report based on Bex query..no connection problem there. But, reporting directly off infocubes, the server type "SAP Business Information Warehouse"(add server option in OLAP connection Browser) not showing up in list of values.
1. I released Info query for PLE DB for OLAP as per
   user's guide.
2. The manual says you have to configure SAP BW server
   log on? For Bex query(Crystal) all available servers
   automatically available
Thanks

Crystal Reports and Access database connection error

I had this in a different forum with no hits, so I am trying this one.
A person that I work with has multiple reports set up that pulls from an Access database that is password protected. When we moved everything over to a new computer, those reports now say that it cannot access the fields inside the database. It never pops up with a login screen either, like it does on the old computer. I played around with the ODBC, with no luck, couldn't get anything to work. I have also tryed relinking the database, but I keep getting connection problems. We are on a network, so her settings should have all moved with the new computer. Along with the database and the reports being on the server, so they were never moved. I am thinking it has something to do with a system file.
I also found this document on this site, but cannot find the download it mentions, sounds similar to my problem.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/208b8fe5-681e-2b10-d2bb-b201f266d0ab
Does anybody know how to fix this without the utility mentioned in the above link, or know where I can get the utility??
We are using Access 2007 and Crystal Reports 7. The database is not save as an Access 2007 database, but a regular mdb.
Please Help!

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello Chris,
Crystal Reports does not store the database password with the RPT file. This is by design (Crystal is not a database security product). This is true of all versions of Crystal Reports.
If your users need to see fresh data when opening the reports then they will have to log in by providing at least the password.
You can send reports with Saved Data that won't try to hit the database, but the data won't refresh either. To save data with the report go to the File menu and click next to Save Data with Report. Refresh the report and then save it. The report will now have saved data and won't try to hit the database when opened. If the user hits the refresh button then they will get prompted to log into the database.
I hope this helps.

Crystal Reports and Sharepoint Access Services Connectivity

How do I establish a connection between Crystal Reports and an access database hosted on a Sharepoint Access Services site? I've searched the forums but can't find any guidance.
Thanks in advance,
Angela

Hi Angela,
Through an ODBC connection is about the only way, how to configure it would be up to Share Points help file to describe if it supports it.

Connection between Crystal Report and SAP ECC

Hi. can you help me please.
I'm testing the connection between Crystal Report and SAP ECC. I tried using the tables,
but by making the links between foreign keys does not bring data. The other way I tried was using an ABAP function module,
but using this way, Crystal will only works like a Presentation Layer because all the work was did it in ABAP;
besides that shows the limitation that I can not pass as input a table.
what is the best practice for reporting on SAP ECC using Crystal Report?
Thanks.

Hi,
Crystal Reports is able to leverage tables, ABAP functions, SAP query and InfoSets.
what is the issue when using the tables ?

SAP and Adobe (Flex)

Hello ,
I would like to know how to start working with SAP BW and Adobe ( Flex).
Is needed that Java Engine to be installed for the server? Is there a document how to link the 2 worlds (SAP , Adobe - Flex) ?
I would like to know what resources are needed (license, hardware, software, settings) for this connection to work.
The final purpose would be to try testing is a SAP BW query content could be transferred to some Adobe Flex form / layout / etc, in order for the report to look nicer, to be more user friendly , etc .
Any help / link/ advice would be appreciated !
Thank you in advance ,
A.

Getting Data from SAP ECC & BI to Crystal Reports and then Broadcasting.

Hi,
I need to get the data from SAP ECC & BI to Crystal reports and then after formating data in Crystal reports, my requierment is to send via email (Broadcasting). Is there any option to Broadcast from Crystal reports?
I read Ingo Hilgefort blogs, but I need in detail steps such as to verify Integration Kit is installed or not and also how to create connections in between SAP ECC and Crystal. What are the Security setups(User IDs and Authorizations) involved?
What is best option for email/broadcasting for Crystal Reports?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks.
SVK.

Hi,
I would suggest you then start with the installation and user guide fr the SAP Integration Kit.

Crystal Reports and BW Query- Translation

Hello,
I'm trying to use Crystal reports with BW Query in the Hebrew Language.
When i open the Crystal Reports and connect to SAP I'm putting the Hebrew language key in the logon screen. When the crystal report starts i can see the reports info objects but without the Hebrew description. I can see that in the formula fields the Language key is selected but shouldnt i get the info objects description as well?
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
when I create a new report (using the SAP toolbar) I always get the descriptions for the info objects on the field explorer according to the language I set when I logon on into the SAP system my query resides in. I tried with both english and german language and it works fine. I assume you have installed the hebrew language pack for CR and that the hebrew descriptions are maintained in your SAP system. I also assume that you are talking about creating a report here and not opening an existing one though. In this case the language at creation time defines which descriptions are displayed.
If the above assumptions are valid, then you may face a hebrew language specific problem here. Opening a support case would probably make sense.

Crystal Reports and SAP BW 7

Hi,
I have been reading these posts and got bit confused.
What do I need to integrate Crystal Reports and SAP BW 7 without BOE. My company has SAP NW license and Crystal Reports Enterprise license and plan to use CR for formatted reporting. Do I still need integration kit into SAP BW in order to create crystal reports on BEx queries and save into BW and view through the SAP NW Portal?
Or am I fine without integration kit?
many thanks

Based on the below Ingo's blog in BI expert we would only need the following:
You must install Crystal Reports Designer on the client
You must install the client components for the BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP Solutions
You must install an SAP front end with the SAP NetWeaver BI 7.X Add-On and the SAP BW 3.5 Add-On components on the client when using the connectivity on top of SAP NetWeaver BI
Users need to have the necessary authorizations in the SAP system. For SAP NetWeaver BI, this means that users require the authorizations to view and execute BI queries. There are additional authorizations for SAP ERP access in authorizations class ZSSI that are specific to the connectivity that BusinessObjects provides.
You must release the BI queries that you want to use with Crystal Reports for external access. You can set this property in the BI Query Designer.
So, no mention of BOE.

Crystal Reports and SQL Server 2000

Hi all,
I read the document "Troubleshooting Database Connectivity for Crystal Reports" and tried all SQL Server jdbc drivers (1.2, 2.0,2.0.1, 3) and I could not find a working driver with crystal reports at all.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d05b3bb7-0f28-2c10-4ea3-84dbdc4e414e?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
I'm also not sure if there is a working one?
Are there anybody who suggest me a jdbc driver for SQL server which also supports Crystal Reports?
The connection is ok, but the problem is I don't see tables and other staff under the connection...According to the document above, this means the driver does not support crystal reports...
Product versions which involve this issue as follows:
SQL Server 2000
JRE 5.0
Crystal Reports 11.8 (Comes with IBM RAD 7.5 IDE)
Platform : IBM Portal 6.1.0.2 ( IBM Websphere App. Server 6.1)
Any help would deeply be appreciated.
I'm totaly exhausted. I hope someone help me...
Best regards,
E.

I gave up this issue since I learnt that Crystal Java Reporting Component does not support portlet. I also tried with SQL 2008 and I also updated my IDE for updating Crystal plug-in in it. It was finally working at portal but the pager buttons and other staff in the viewer were not working since it still does not support portlet.
Thanks a lot.

Crystal reports and web services

Do crystal report and xcelcius need webservices?

No, they don't 'need' web services. Xcelsius uses Excel for it's data and you can use web services to load the Excel model with data, but it is not required. CR has a variety of data connection options.
Web services is a popular method of retrieving the most up-to-date data, but is not a requirement.
Hope that helps,
Jake

BSP and Adobe Flex

Hi,
My appology if this topic is not suppose to be here. Please let me know where this topic should be.
I know nothing about SAP and been given a task to look for the connection between BSP(suppose it is a module of SAP) and Adobe Flex.
I have done some research about the connection. Been to "Engaging User Interfaces with Adobe Flex". On that blog, there were few methods mentioned. I would like to know if there are any examples you can show me? I am particularly interested in Flex JSP and Flex AJAX.
Thanks in advance.

Crystal Report and Log4net error 1.2.10

Hi at all,
I have problem on Crystal Report and log4net.
It happens when I deploy the Web applications on the server.
I'm using Visual studio 2013 update 2, and I'm using log4net 2.0.3 (1.2.13) and I'm using CRforVS2013_13_0_10, the last.
When I deploy my application on the target machine, where I have also installed the runtime 64 bit for Crystal Report, I found this error:

On my local Visual studio it works, works fine.
But when I'm deploying on Server, 2008 win 64 bit, I found this error.
I've tried everything, I've installed also the runtime 64 bit on the target/server machine.
The problem is that the log4net is not registered in the windows\assembly directory on the target server ? Do I have to use the Gac util to register the log4net dll assembly ?
Please help me, It one day that I'm facing this error, but I'm not able to solve.

Vittorio

Hi Vittorio
Please enter the search string 'log4net crystal net' into the search box in the top right corner. When the results come up, click on the Support Notes link. That will filter for the KBAs that you want to have a look at.
