Crystal Reports from R/3 function with parameters

I can create reports from functions that doesn't require parameters, but for one function, the R/3 admin created the function that needs parameters (start and end date) to return records in that range. Does anyone know how to supply the parameter? I tried to select records by start and end date, but didn't work.
thanks
Jenny

Hi Ingo:
Thank you for replying. It seems I have created the report correctly, but the function is not properly configured. So I'm forwarding the issue back to our R/3 admin.

How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing p

How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing parameter to it.
how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.

how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.This would entirely depend on crystal reports and you might find informations on crystal reports related communities more likely...I for one have seen crystal reports the last time about 12 years ago. And even back then I simply acknowledged it's existence instead of working with it.
Maybe crystal reports can be invoked via a URL call which would make it simple as you'd need simply build an URL and show the report using web.show_document. But that's pure speculation. Also you might not be the first with this requirement, so the solution to your problem might be right under your nose and just a little google search away ;)

Open a crystal report from WAD with passing the variables values

Hi,
I need to know is there any way to link SAP WAD to crystal reports (open a crystal report from WAD)and pass the values of the variables which are entered in the Web App. (e.g. Customer id,year) should be passed to the Crystal Report.
Maybe we need to pass parameter by WAD URL but this is just my assumption and have no idea how to do this with passing variable values.
right now I know the method of how Bex queries which are used as data source for crystal reports but in my current scenario we have the structure like this that bex queries link with WAD and then WAD is linked with crystal reports.
No doubt that Crystal report is target option in RRI but there the source is Bex Query only but in current scenario we are looking WAD (web template) as a source to crystal report or crystal report called in WAD.
Please suggest something on same.
Thanks
Take care

Did you find a solution for this problem?
I'm facing right now the same problem, I need a way to link SAP WAD to crystal reports (open a crystal report from WAD) and pass the values of the variables which are entered in the Web App. (e.g. Customer id,year) should be passed to the Crystal Report.
Have found an answer to this issue? If yes, please kindly inform how have you solved this.

Crystal Reports Based on SAP Function Module and Transperant Tables

Hi,
I need to develop reports based on SAP trasperant tables and to filter the records I require to use one of the function module in SAP.
I have created parameters in Crystal reports that are required for the function to execute and are included in the where clause of the query. This helped the fuction to get those parameters and execute it.
The thing is that the fuction works fine with one set of parameters and gives accurate results both in SAP and Crystal Reports.
But fails for other set of parameters.
It works fine when we directly execute function in SAP produces a record set. But, when we pass those parameters from Crystal Reports it fetches no data.
Can anybody tell me the exact procedure to use function module and transperent tables together in Crystal Reports ?
Thanks in Advance.
Niwas Joshi

Hi,
This is going to be hard to explain, however you need to recognize that the function has input and possibly output (export) parameters. Crystal Reports is able to work with these parameters. However it is up to you to figure out how these parameters are used effectively to give you the correct results when joining the function with other data sources such as transparent tables.
If you're using transparent tables and functions in a Crystal Report, then you need to link these objects in such a way so that a left outer join for example is using the function's output parameters to join to the transparent table equivalent fields. However if the table is the starting point then the joins from the table should join the Input parameters of your function.
you can set these joins in the Database menu | Database Expert | Links of Crystal Reports.

Reporting off oracle stored procedure with parameters error

Erorr message: Error in File xxx.rpt: Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 907 ]
Asp.net 2.0 web application.
CR XI R2 sp2 in BOE XI R2 sp2 on Solaris 10.
Database: Oracle 10g on Solaris 10. Oracle stored procedure defined in package.
Happens with reports reporting off stored procedure with parameters.
The sp is used in the crystal report.
The web application passes parameters to crystal report, which then passes the parameters to stored procedure.
Encountered error if:
r.PromptOnDemandViewing = false;
r.UseOriginalDataSource = false;
r.CustomServerType = CeReportServerType.ceServerTypeOracle;
Report can retrieves data if:
r.PromptOnDemandViewing = false;
r.UseOriginalDataSource = true;
r.CustomServerType = CeReportServerType.ceServerTypeOracle;
In addition
The steps are:
1)     Create oracle package and stored proc.
2)     In CR Designer, select the stored proc as datasource.
3)     The parameters names were "generated" by the CR Designer.
4)     Rename the parameter names.
5)     Drag the fields onto report.
We noticed the following with different setting of database logon info:
When previewing from BOE, get error when "Use custom database logon information specified here"
However, no error when "Use original database logon information from the report".
Am i missing something?

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Data Connectivity - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

Scheduling Crystal report from BOE

Hi,
I have a Crystal report (based on ECC Function module) which doesn't retrieve data when I schedule it from BOE (infoview).
I have Integration kit installed, and the crystal report works fine when i execute it manually.
I think it is an issue with connectivity/authentication or something. I don't have a service user id created. (to run the Crystal report i use my ECC user id which has authorization to S_RFC etc)
Can you tell me the steps that i need to follow before i am able to run my ECC crystal report from BOE/infoview?
Thanks, Arka

Hi,
the user that is scheduling the report needs to have the same authorization like viewing the report. you can also see the list of detailed authorizations required in the documentation for the SAP Integration Kit in the chapter authorizations.
all product documentation is available on help.sap.com

Need help in RFP - Migration Estimates for Crystal Reports from BI 3.1 to 4.1

Hi,
I have to migrate 100 crystal reports from BI 3.1 to 4.1. The reports vary from simple to complex in terms of complexity.
I want to know the time estimates (no. of hours/report) for the above upgradation for a client proposal.
What all parameters should i mention in the proposal?
Thanks

You don't actually have to upgrade the reports to a newer version of Crystal in order to migrate them from BO 3.1 to BI 4.1 and have them work. BI 4.1 will work correctly with Crystal Reports that have been created in Crystal XI r2 and higher. The inner structure of the .rpt file is essentially the same, with new things being added when new features from the newer versions are used.
Some things to remember when migrating Crystal reports using the Upgrade Management Tool (based on my experience migrating a number of clients from 3.1 to 4.x):
1. If the reports were saved with a specific printer, make sure that the printer has been configured on the BI 4.1 server. In 3.1 this was not an issue, but there's a change in printer processing in the newer versions of Windows Server where BI 4.1 will run that cause errors/warnings in the migration of these reports.
2. If your reports use ODBC connections, make sure that ALL of the required connections have been created prior to migration. Even though BI 4.1 is 64-bit software, the Crystal "servers" are still 32-bit, so they require 32-bit connections. If you're connecting to MS SQL Server, make sure you use SQL Server Native Connection 10.0 or 11.0 for these connections.
3. If you have Dynamic Parameters and you've had to make any changes to which DB drivers are used - even if it's in an ODBC connection that has the same name as the old system, be aware that you'll have to create new data connections that use the new ODBC connections or drivers and then point the data foundations to the new data connections - otherwise your dynamic parameters won't work.

Printing Crystal Reports from UDO form

Dear Experts,
I want to open a Crystal report from an addon. I've already found [the following thread|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2039424&start=0&tstart=0] and the [mentioned blog post|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/26720], and applied the solutions given there, but setting the parameters still does not work.
The report is opened, but the report gives me the message "Input string was not in a correct format", and asks for the parameter. When I enter the parameter, the report shows correctly.
My form is an UDO form loaded from XML, ObjectType set to my UDO. According to the latest answers, this ObjectType setting is the problem.
My code is the following:
Setting the form (the report is already imported into SAP, its DocCode is RCRI0002):
AddOn.Application.LayoutKeyEvent += new SAPbouiCOM._IApplicationEvents_LayoutKeyEventEventHandler(SetPrinter);
SAPbobsCOM.ReportTypesService rptTypeService = (SAPbobsCOM.ReportTypesService)
     AddOn.Company.GetCompanyService().GetBusinessService(SAPbobsCOM.ServiceTypes.ReportTypesService);
SAPbobsCOM.ReportTypeParams rptParams = (SAPbobsCOM.ReportTypeParams)
     rptTypeService.GetDataInterface(SAPbobsCOM.ReportTypesServiceDataInterfaces.rtsReportTypeParams);
rptParams.TypeCode = "RCRI";
SAPbobsCOM.ReportType updateType = rptTypeService.GetReportType(rptParams);
updateType.DefaultReportLayout = "RCRI0002";
rptTypeService.UpdateReportType(updateType);
SboForm.ReportType = "RCRI";
the eventlistener function:
public void SetPrinter(ref SAPbouiCOM.LayoutKeyInfo eventInfo, out bool BubbleEvent)
     BubbleEvent = true;
     if (eventInfo.ReportTemplate == "RCRI" && eventInfo.ReportCode == "RCRI0002")
          eventInfo.LayoutKey = "21"; //Set the key of the layout - hardcoded for testing
I work on version 8.81 PL08
Has anyone found a solution? Is there a solution on higher patch?
Thanks
Andrea

OK, so we returned to this problem, and now I managed to make it work on 8.82 PL11. And now I can't remember anymore how I tried it back then. Maybe I did not use the DocKey@ parameter in the Crystal report.
Anyhow, it looks like it works now.

Run Crystal Report From Forms

Dear all,
Can i run a crystal report from forms10g ? if i yes then how can i do it
Thanks in advance

I have to be honest I don't know much about crystal reports.
In addition to the suggestion of Francois, if you can access/run it via a URL you could use the web.show_document procedure with the url containing all your required parameters, which is similar to some of the method available to run oracle reports.
eg. web.show_document(http://ServerNameDetails?parameter1=1&parameter2=hello,'_blank');

Can't view Crystal Reports from BW

Hi,
I'm installing SAP Integration Kit XI 3.1 SP3 with IIS. I am able to publish reports from BW to BOE but not able view them from BW. I followed the documentation to use report/report_view.aspx to define the viewer application in Content Administration Workbench. But it is giving me a "The page cannot be found" error when I try to view Crystal Reports from BW. I tried looking for the file report/report.aspx but cannot find it. I was able to locate the file in SAP_CrystalReport_View/report_view.aspx. I repointed the system to this path but it still giving me the same error.
Anybody here encountered this before?
Thanks,
Elijah

Hi Ingo,
- has the report being saved to BW and then published to BusinessObjects enterprise ?
    Yes, the report is being published from BW to BOE successfully.
- did you import the ABAP Transports to the BW system ?
    I imported all the transports that came with the Integration Kit. I'm not sure if the ABAP transport is one of them.
- has the viewing service in transaction SICF been configured ?
    Yes, the top entry in the handler list is /CRYSTAL/CL_BW_HTTP_HANDLER.
I did notice that the BW system is on a different subdomain than the web application server. For example,
   BW system        - bw01.us.mydomain.com
   BOE web server -   boweb.mydomain.com
Would that affect the single sign on?

Duplicate Object Name Error When Publishing Crystal Reports from BW to BOE

Hi,
We recently upgraded our systems (all client and server) to SP2.7 in order to solve a problem with saving Crystal Reports to BW. Now we are experiencing a new error when trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE (either all in one step from Crystal Reports application or directly from within BW).
Upon trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE, we get the following error:
"An error occurred while saving and / or publishing. The return code 1 was returned from the server. Logon to Crystal Enterprise failed. Unable to commit the changes to Enterprise. Reason: Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder."
We have repeated this issue numerous time with different reports, users and logon credentials and have verified that there are NOT any duplicate object names.
Additionally, in some cases, the report ultimately publishes to BOE, but with the above error interruption along the way.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Josh

Ingo,
Apologies for the delayed response. We've spent a few days poking around with this issue, and had even opened a customer message for it (13641).
In the end, it seems that the problem was somehow associated with the "Prepare this report for translation." flag in the "Save to BW Options" dialog box of Crystal Reports. If we try to Save & Publish with the Translation flag selected, we get the duplicate entry error. If we Save & Publish without the Translation flag selected, everything is fine.
There are still some details we need to look into, but for the time being it looks like we don't have an issue anymore(assuming we ever did) as we're not concerned with Translation capabilities.
If we come across the problem again, I'll post again.
Thanks,
Josh

How do I open a Crystal Report from Microsoft Access?

I'm looking for step-by-step instructions on how to launch a Crystal Report from a Microsoft Access application (for a dummy like me).
My Crystal Report uses a connection to the Access database as the data.
I have Microsoft Access 2002 with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.5.
I have Crystal Reports 2008 CR Developer 12.
I'll need to know where to find the Visual Basic code references, and/or ActiveX Controls, if applicable.
Thanks
Janeen

I concur with Don. Just a bit of help - a sample VBA app is here;
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006013432008E/rdc_vba.exe
But as Don mentioned, you will have to downgrade to CR XI r2 (or lower) to implement the above solution.

Problem opening Crystal Report from SAP GUI through VPN

Hi Everyone,
I am facing an issue with opening the crystal report from SAP BW Role menu(SAP GUI). The issue is only with the BW Users who are connecting to the Client systems through VPN. All the settings are done perfectly in the Transaction /CRYSTAL/RPTADMIN and SICF for the CE_URL.
For those who are in the client network it works fine. Please see the URLs generated in both the cases,below.
From Client N/W
[http://sapbobj:8080/SAP/jsp/Action_Dispatch/dispatch.jsp?sap_client=100&cmsname=sapbobj:6400&language=EN&sap_sysid=D40&bw_id=4HUFYJ3XBZ7QLP5HIDYPR7PR6&sap-client=100&actionName=SAP_CrystalReport_View&appKind=InfoView&service=%2FInfoViewApp%2Fcommon%2FappService.do&loc=&initialFolderId=null]
Through VPN
[http://sapbwd.abc.com:8100/sap/bw/ce_url?(ce_protcl):(DS)(ce_server)/(ce_path_pr)/viewreport.csp(Q)bw_id=4HUPI3I78CG4S4EDH7XSDP736&sap_sysid=(sysid)&sap_client=100&language=EN&sap-client=100]
where "sapbobj" is the BOBJ system and "sapbwd" is the SAP BW Dev box.
For me it seems to be something related to the N/W. Please provide me your valuable inputs to solve this issue.
Thanks in Advance,
