Crystal reports on SAP-BW 3.5 query - problem w. properties of key figures

Dear experts,
Creating a crystal report on a SAP-BW 3.5 query we have the following problem:
In SAP-BW query we defined a restricted key figure with property
'Calculate single value as Ranked list (olympic)'.
Within SAP-BW it works correctly; in Crystal Reports we see the
key figure without the defined property.
Example
SAP-BW
Customer     Revenue
4711            1
4812            2
4913            3
Crystal Reprts
Customer     Revenue
4711            500 EUR
4812            300 EUR
4913            100 EUR
Could anyone give us an advice to solve this?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Hagen

Crystal reports 2013 , SAP MDX Driver not able to connect with BW BEX Query

Hi All,
We just installed Crystal 2013, and want to create crystal report on SAP BW CUBE/BEX Query through SAP MDX Driver.
1.When start connecting through SAP MDX Query option from new connection , SAP Systems which are in SAPLOGON are not appearing in initial screen. where as from OLAP Connection we are able to connect to SAP BEX Query.
2.Even from SAP Tool kit we are not able to connect to BEX query, we are getting ERROR MESSAGE.
and we are using SAP BI BO PLATFORM 4.1 sp01 .
Please suggest me , if I am missing any configuration settings.
Regards,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
Before you start building the report, make sure the right transports have been loaded on the SAP System. The right Transport files are the ones found inside the installation zip you download from SAP's server. They're under the "Collaterals\Add-Ons\SAP\Transports" folder.
For more info on Transports, authorizations etc, please have your BASIS admin go through this wiki:
Crystal Reports 2008 and BW - Installation and Configuration - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki
To resolve your first issue, please follow the steps from this thread:
Problems with SAPLogon.ini for SAP GUI and Crystal 2011
P.S: Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.1 does a better job at handling BEx queries that the CR 2013 designer. It directly connects to BEx queries via the BICS connectivity driver and doesn't need the Transports to be there on the SAP System. You might want to give this flavour of CR a try too.

Crystal report from SAP infoset query

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in a crystal report which is based on Infoset query. When I run the report after passing the parameters it gives me an error "Database error occured" "Parameter field value does not exists" "RFC Closed"
But if I run the same Infoset query from SQ01 I am able to run it with same paramenter and it returns many records.
To be very precise I am running the best practice crystal report "Cost Analysis - Planned vs. Actual Order Costs" which is based on infoset query CO_OM_CA_20_Q1.
It throws me error that "Controlling Area does not exists".
Did anyone faced similar problem?
Best Regards,
Chetan

Hi,
log into your SAP ERP system using the SAP GUI and choose in the SAP Menu the following path:
SAP Menu -> Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost Cetner Controlling ->Environment->Set Controlling Area.
Set the desired controlling area for your user there (DO NOT FORGET TO CLICK ON THE DISKETTE ICON) and try again.

Crystal Report and SAP BW Query

I have developed the Crsytal Report (ontop of SAP BW Query), and save this report into my local c:\ drive.
Now I made some changes to the BW Query (this is the Datasource of my Crystal Report) to include new Key Figure and Characteristic via BEx Query Designer.
Now when I open my existing Crystal Report, I dont get see the new key Figure/Characteristics that I just included to the BEx Query. Why? Is this bug? How can we update the Crystal Report automatically when the underline BEx Query has changed?

Hi,
We have similar case when the underline BEx query has been changed.
In our case, the Variable value is not appear in CR.
Example, a Variable has been created and assigned to the Cost Centre.
In BEx Query, I can see the value of the Cost Centre and can therefore select the value from the Variable field.
In CR, I have the Cost Centre prompt as parameters, but there is no value for me to select.
Database Verify has been performed.
Anyone come across this?

Connecting Crystal Reports to SAP BW BEx query

Post Author: mfrank
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
We have used Crystal Enterprise 8.5 to connect to an SAP BW BEx query in the past, however we are having some difficulties. Rather than trying to upgrade our old CE system, I've been told that we should be able to connect Crystal Reports (2008?) directly to the BW BEx query. I've been trying to accomplish this, but can't seem to find any drivers that will allow the connectivity. When I try to set up a connection using OLAP, the only two options listed are Hyperion and Microsoft OLAP. I have an old version of Brio Query (now Hyperion, now Oracle) that does show up with a driver for BW, but this doesn't show up in my Crystal options.
Can someone give me some advice as to how to connect Crystal Reports to SAP BW? I realize there are licensing issues with running live data without using Crystal Enterprise (or later BO products), but I'm just looking to print a report to a PDF.
Thanks

Hi,
Basically Crystal report run with SQL statement, I would suggest to do well performance tuning on SQL query / Store Procedure.
Structure your query in DBA manner that will make some how faster such as use ( inner join, less condition,...)..
also if it simple query then use Command in Crystal report rather store Procedure..that make some how Faster your report.
Thanks

I am facing a problem in a crystal report which is based on Infoset query

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in a crystal report which is based on Infoset query.in the Cost Analysis - Planned vs. Actual Order Costs
There are two querys like Query: CO_OM_CA_20_Q1 and InfoSet: ZBPBI131_INFO_ODVR. I build infoset query based on sap best practice user guide but problem is not able to find CO_OM_CA_20_Q1
Best Regards,

Hi,
I would first of all suggest you don't open the same question twice. this looks like a duplicate to this entry:
Best Practices v3.31 - SAP InfoSet Query connection
Did you assign the queries and the infosets to an InfoSet user group and you assign the SAP account to it as well ?

Problem while importing a Crystal Report in SAP Business One

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem while importing a Crystal Report in SAP Business One, it displaying an error "No matching records found 'Queries' (OUQR) (ODBC -2028) [Message 131-183]" , and there is no use of this table OUQR in the Query.
Kindly let me know the solution.
Regards
Rahul Singh

Hi Rhaul,
i don't exactly know why this is a problem, but if your not on latest (881 p10) then upgrade and try again.
Or as a workaround,
try saveing from CR to SAP with the CR add-on. That usualy works better then the import.

Crystal reports over SAP r/3 tables

I am trying to write a Crystal report over SAP r/3 tables (BSIK and LFA1) with no success.
I have CRpts installed along with the "client side" SAP integration kit. When i try to create a new connection to my development ERP system i am asked to select an available system, but the dialogue box is empty. I can however connect to a SAP BW query successfully using the SAP toolbar that has been added when installing the integration kit.
Is there anywhere a set if instructions to successfully install and configure CRpts to report over SAP r/3 tables ?
Andrew Fox

Make sure to define an environment variable called SAPLOGON_INI_FILE in the system your CR designer is installed on. The variable should contain the path to your SAPlogon.ini file including the file name. eg if saplogon.ini is found under c:\Windows then the variable shoud be set to c:\Windows\saplogon.ini . Restart the CR designer and try again.
If the system list remains empty then locate to saplogon.ini file, open it using Notepad and choose the Save as option. All you have to do is to overwrite the existing file (ie. do not change the name) after changing the encoding to UTF-8 (drop-down list at the bottom of the Save as window)

Unable to delete saved Crystal reports in SAP BW Browser

Hi everyone ,
We are trying to test Integration of Crystal reports with SAP BW .
CR developer version installed - 12.0.3.900
SAP BW 7.0
I have 2 issues :
1) When I try to open SAP Query from CR SAP menu bar , somehow a blank SAP screen opens first and stays as long as I have CR developer open. I would then have to click on CR from the status line to begin using the software. The blank screen remains the way it is.
2) I am unable to delete Crystal reports which are saved in SAP BW Browser . I can delete any other BEX workbook in the same folder .
Am I missing any role authorizations to delete Crystal reports in BW Browser ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Crystal Report based on BEX 3.X query + Hierachies

Hi,
I have built a Crystal Report (2008) based on BW Bex 3.5 query.
The report has a hierachical group based on a hierachy
similar to the strategy used in
http://blog.mastering-sap-and-businessobjects.com/2009/07/10/crystal-reports-and-sap-bw-hierarchies--conditional-formatting-part-2.aspx
Certain sub and parent nodes in the hierachy have suppressed to make sure the report is formatted correctly.
The user running the report does NOT have the option of choosing the level of nodes to hide or show.
At this point in time the report is showing the correct nodes, however there is a concern that once users start re-arranging the hierchies and adding nodes that the reports will have to be maintained. (Which I think is a catch 22 situation)
Does anyone have another suggestion how to have the reports be "Dynamic" (based on the hierachy) and still not have the danger of the hierachies changing and affecting the Reports
(I certainly can think of no other ways EXCEPT creating a structure in the BW Query - which means that in any case if the hierachies changes, the BW Query will have to be maintained)
Kind Regards,
Nicole

Hi,
Crystal Reports is using a parent child relationship which means the complete hierarchy is dynamic and in case your hierarchy is changing on the BW side Crystal Reports will pick up those changes automatically - assuming we talking about additional levels or levels been removed.

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
