Hi Raj,
I'm not an expert on ECC and BW but hopefully relation between netweaver & ecc(plz see these questions friends) thread can give you at least some hints. You could also have a look at the Installation guides on http://service.sap.com/instguides.
BTW, you've hit the wrong forum here - I'll move your thread to the NetWeaver AS General forum where you'll probably get more responses to your questions.
Best regards,
Vladimir

CRYSTAL REPORT FOR ENTERPRISE ON ECC

Hi Everyone,
I have been trying to connect Crystal Report for Enterprise over ECC via universe as we don't have option
to connect CR4E directly to ECC.
So, I have made a universe in IDT and published it in repository.
Now, when I am using that universe in WebI Report and DashBoard then it is working fine but the same is throwing
the error while I am trying to connect with CR4E 'Failed to execute query: 'Fail to create an instance of Job : com/businessobjects/i18n/locale/BoLocale'.
The same error 'Fail to create an instance of Job : com/businessobjects/i18n/locale/BoLocale' was also coming when we try to save the IDT with Secure Connections is set to Server Middleware(Window -> Preferences->Information Design Tool ->Secured Connections ->Server Middleware).

Catalog views for ERP E-Commerce for MySAP ERP ECC 5.0

We are implementing the R/3 version of CRM-ISA (ERP E-Commerce for MySAP ERP ECC 5.0).
We need to implement product catalog views to allow filtering based on specific attributes.
We have created a custom function module Z_ISA_READ_CATALOG_COMPLETE to replace ISA_READ_CATALOG_COMPLETE and Z_ISA_CUSTOMER_READ_CAT_VIEWS to replace ISA_CUSTOMER_READ_CAT_VIEWS.
But when we test from ISA the FM Z_ISA_READ_CATALOG_COMPLETE does not get invoked through RFC.
There is an SAP NOTE 998453 that we checked but it is still a pilot version.
Has anyone implemented the catalog views without the notes? Can we do the catalog views without the note? If so, how can we meke custom FM work? Please advice.
Thanks,
VK

Check the following.
1. The XCM file modification-config.xml replaces both the function modules
2. The checkbox to use the catalog views is checked for your webshop
3. Catalog is published to TREX and you are using TREX catalog instead of Memory catalog.
I don't think these notes work without TREX. I'd be interested in learning if anyone successfully implemented Catalog views with ECC ECO without using TREX.

Cannot connect Crystal Reports 2013 to ERP

When I try to connect Crystal Reports 2013 to ERP I am getting ABAP short dump. I have imported the all needed transports. I enclosed the file with dump.

Hi Daro,
Did you try creating a WebI report against the same Universe?
What is the datasource for the Universe?

Getting No rights error in Crystal Reports connection with SAP ECC 6

I am ABAP/BI developer and would like to work in Crystal Reports 2011. Currently, We have SAP ECC 6 and BI 7 set up. I have installed trial version of Crystal Reports 2011.
I am getting error while trying to create blank report in Crystal Reports:
Create New Connection -> SAP Tables.. -> entered SAP Development server user id and password -> following error message :
LOGON failed
Details : You do not have necessary rights to design reports against the SAP system. Please check with your system administrator.
My user id has all rights in development server. So, is any special rights require? OR do we have to install any patch for Crystal Reports at SAP level?
Please guide me.

Hi,
To be able to report off an SAP data source in Crystal Reports, request the SAP Administrator to set the appropriate authorizations for the user.
For a list of authorizations that are necessary for each type of SAP connection, consult the document:
BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Installation Guide
In the "Authorizations" chapter, there is a description of each authorizations needed for each type of connection and actions.
( The document is attached to this SAP Knowledge Base Article in the attachment section )
In addition to the authorizations specified in the SAP Integration Kit Installation Guide, the following authorizations are required:
For Authorization object: S_RFC with Field name: RFC_Name. According to the installation guide the values should be: SYST, /CRYSTAL/OPENSQL
Additionally you will need the value: SUSR as well.
For Authorization object: ZSEGREPORT with field name: ACTVT. According to the installation guide the value is: 02 (Change)
Additionally you will need the value: 01 (Create or generate) as well.
Thank you.

Extending catalog search in mySAP ERP ECC B2B scenario

We are using mySAP ERP E-Commerce with memory catalog scenario(B2B).
We have added two new additional attributes viz. Z_OLD_MAT_NUM and
Z_EAN_UPC to the catalog as described in the extension guide(page224).
We are able to display these fields successfully in the products page.
How do I make these attributes searchable in the extended or quick search.
Any help will be highly appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
I think you need to modify the generic-searchbackend-config.xml.

Crystal Report Using ECC Data has Auth error in Infoview

We've created a Crystal report that successfully accesses ECC data from a function module in our Dev environment when the report is executed from within Crystal Designer. When we try to execute the same report against the same development ECC system from within InfoView we get the following error:
ERROR: The Database Logon Information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.
The connection information is the same as it is in designer. We are able to successfully run Crystal Reports over BW data within InfoView. Any ideas about what might be wrong?
Doug

Ingo,
The consumers of the report do have ECC access for order and inventory management so licensing should not be an issue.
We were able to resolve the issue. The problem was with our version of SAP GUI on the BO Dev server.
We had to update our u201CServices.dllu201D and our u201CSAPLogonTree.xmlu201D file with an accurate version. Once that was done, the report executed as expected in InfoView using LDAP.
Thanks,
Doug

Crystal Report against ECC 6.0 with SSO configured

I created a simple report against the ECC 6.0 Article table and saved it to InfoView. I can run the report fine, but when others run it they get an error stating the logon parameters are incomplete. We are in the process of configuring single sign on and have created other Crystal Reports going against ECC 6.0 with Business Views where SSO turned on in the data connection. Everyone can refresh those reports with no problems. Is their some report setting that needs to be set for Crystal Reports using a data source directly against ECC 6.0 tables?

We have multiple reasons for implementing SNC.
The main reason we have enabled SNC is to simply the users experience while working in the SAP environment. We are going live this month with Plant Maintenance, SRM, Project System, General Ledge and Asset Management reporting cubes in our BW environment as well as in our ECC 6.0 environment. We have set up SAP Portal and have created iviews to BOBJ folders and reports. Users are authenticated once by logging on to the Lan. Once logged on we would like them to seemlessly run SAP transactions and Business Objects reports through the SAP Portal based on their job function. Each user has security setup in BOBJ and SAP to allow access to transactions and reports appropriate for their job function.
We have three types of SAP reports and data connectors.
- One set of Crystal reports go against ECC 6.0 through Business Views with a Data Connection set up for SSO.
- One set of WEBI reports goes against BW queries though Universe Connections set up for SSO.
- One set of Crystal reports go directly against ECC 6.0 tables.
We currently have two issues:
1) The Crystal reports going directly against ECC 6.0 tables are returning the error
Error - The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect.
2) When we send a link to any report using OpenDocument if the user is not logged on to InfoView they get a rather long error message:
Account Information not recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system admin....
Our hardware and server setup is a load balancer connected to a cluster of two Tomcat servers connected to two BOBJ servers.

Hi,
I'm trying to connect SAP Crystal Report 2013 with SAP ECC but I'm getting below error. I've read some where that We need to install SAP integration kit but SAP BI 4.1 it comes default, also had to install the ABAP cystal report transport - How to do Install this on SAP side -
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:
logon failed. you do not have the necessary rights to design reports

The wiki should have answers to all your questions regarding Transports, Authorization et al.

Unable to see English Text in Crystal Report

Hello Experts,
I have crystal report on top of ECC. I have one table which has G/L account and G/L Account description. I am using this fields as parameter, I am getting only German and other language except English language. I checked in ECC and I can see G/L account Description in English but not in my Report.
We are using BOXI3.1 and Crystal Reports 2008.
Can anybody help in this proble?
Thanks
Ravi

Ingo,
Let me explain you again, I have crystal report, where I have 4 tables linked. I have one table called SKAT table and I I have SPRAS field in that table which is language key, It will show you all the langauges available in that table.
SAP side, when I enter SPRAS as EN and excute, I see only english records for all G/L description. When I enter German in SPRAS fiels, it will show German G/L Account Description.
But In Crystal Report, I have created parameter for this SPRAS field, User will select which language they want to select.
Now the problem is when I create the Paramter on SPRAS field and I run the report, In the Parameter selection, I see D, C and 1 but I don't see EN.
If user want to see EN , how they can see?
I hope it is clear this time.
Thanks
Ravi

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

Difference between Crsytal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4

difference between Crystal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0?
I think Crystl Reprt 2011 has more function, is it right?

Hi,
I recently attended a SAP Virtual trianing on SAP Business Objects BI 4.0.
Here are few extracts from that which probably shows some light to you:
SAP Crystal Reports 2011
1. UI and associated processing servers remain the same as CR 2008
2. Incremental update to CR 2008 with a few new features*
3. Continue to provide current CR 2008 functionality as-is for existing customers
SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0
1. Major update & redesign of the Crystal Reports Designer and associated processing servers
2. Focus on streamlined report design, reporting against BI 4.0 Universe, & reporting against SAP BW data
3. Provide the foundation for all future releases of Crystal Reports
Differences between these two releases:
Data Source & Usage Type                                       General Recommendation

Report Distribution in ERP

Hi all -
Interested in the best technique for report distribution in ERP ECC 6.0 given that BI and Portal are not in scope and ERP licences are limited. Is there report distribution capability in ERP that can be used or do I have to build a small application to send (email) pre-defined reports (I.e. report/variant/email address/frequency stored in custom table) through SAPConnect? I do know that report distribution is addressed in BI but is there any capability in ERP?
Thanks,
Pat

Hi Vinnie -
Wish it were this simple. What I am asking is if there is capability to distribute different reports to different users (not necessarily users with SAP logons) in different formats (xls, html, ...) at predefined frequency (weekly, monthly, quarterly) via an automated process. At a minimum, the report (i.e. program), variant, email address and report frequency (or a trigger/event) would have to be maintained in ERP (i.e. persistently). BI has this type of capability. Is there any similar type or a light version of this in ERP or do I have to build it?
Thanks,
Pat

Running Crystal Reports in background mode

Ist there any way to run Crystal Reports against R/3 (ECC) in background mode instead of as a dialog user? We're having timeout issues since the dialog timeout is set to 30 minutes. We have several reports that run quite a bit longer than that.
Update: I just answered my own question. Pages 58-59 of the install and configuration guide shows you how to do this.

Hi,
SIA should be all you need because it is starting the other processes as well. Keep in mind that if you do that that most likely all you reports will run in batch mode (also those called on demand.)
