Crystal Reports - Problem with too long BEx Query technical variable names?

Hello!
I have Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 and the SAP BO Integration Kit XI 3.1 SP3 installed and want to access a BEx query on a BW system within my Crystal Report.
The problem is that the name of the BEx variable is not displayed correctly (just "[]" is displayed for the variable name) as a parameter within Crystal Reports when I import the query. Furthermore I can't navigate through the fields of the query within Crystal Reports.
The technical names of the BEx query-variables have a length of 12 characters.
The interessting thing is that if I change the technical names of the BEx query variables to a maximum length of 8 characters everything works fine.
I use the SAP toolbar within Crystal Reports 2008 to create the report and have the "MDX-driver"-setting selected.
Has anyone ever had the same problem? Any suggestions?
I don't want to change the technical names of the variables of my queries...
thanks,
Dominik

Hi!
Just fixed the problem: The "Transports" for the Integration Kit had to be imported at the BW-System

No data in Crystal report created on SAP BW BEx Query

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create a Crystal report on top of a BW query. I am able to login to the BW system and open the BEx query and the objects are coming into the crystal report.
But when I drag and drop some objects into the details area and try to preview sample - it does not show any data (it shows accessing database but doesnt bring any data)
I copied the generated SQL query in to the section in the BW system in transaction code 'MDXTEST' and it runs correctly and shows me the result below there.
Just to try - I unchecked 'Use MDX..' check box by following the path SAP->Settings to check if that could bring back data ... and YES that worked which means data is not coming from the BW query with MDX connection but when MDX seems to be fine and retrieve result when I run the sql statement in tcode MDXTEST.
Also when I do preview samples - I can see in SM50 in BW system that it is trying to run the report just that I am not able to see any data in my crystal report.
Any help in this regards would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sunny

Hello
The order of display of attributes in Webi and Crystal report would be different.
Collapse the infoobject and skim through the attributes, you should be able to find them.

Crystal Report - problem with passing parameters from J2EE app

i'm trying to pass a few parameters from my java application to a crystal report using the code below:
ParameterField pfield1 = new ParameterField();
ParameterField pfield2 = new ParameterField();
Values vals1 = new Values();
Values vals2 = new Values();
ParameterFieldDiscreteValue pfieldDV1 = new ParameterFieldDiscreteValue();
ParameterFieldDiscreteValue pfieldDV2 = new ParameterFieldDiscreteValue();
pfieldDV1.setValue("1056");//dform.getSelectedPeriod());
pfieldDV1.setDescription("termId");
vals1.add(pfieldDV1);
pfield1.setReportName("");
pfield1.setName("@p_termId");
pfield1.setCurrentValues(vals1);
fields.add(pfield1);
// check here for null condition otherwise will throw nullpointerexception
pfieldDV2.setValue("elect");
pfieldDV2.setDescription("allocType");
vals2.add(pfieldDV2);
pfield2.setReportName("");
pfield2.setName("@p_allocType");
pfield2.setCurrentValues(vals2);
fields.add(pfield2);
this report calls a stored procedure (sql server). the report displays the data but the same is not the case when i call ity from my java application. with a single parameter it works fine (even though i get a "Some parameters are missing values" ERROR on the console. But when i pass, say 2 parameters, it give me the above error first and then "JDBC Error: Parameter 2 not set or registered for output"
Can anyone bail me out of this one?
thanks,
ptalkad

I don't know about naming conventions, but could the @ signs in the variable names cause a problem?
How have you set up the mapping in Crystal?
Is this parameter 2 an "out" parameter returning a value?
What version of Java are you using?
Version of Crystal?
What JDBC driver?

Crystal Report problem with J2EE - OutOfMemory

Dear All,
I am having a problem about generating PDF from J2EE (Tomcat, Java 1.4) WebApplication by Crystal report.

However the Web Application is still working fine, just when regenerate the same crystal report the out of memory error occur again. when i generate the other report it works fine.
Please help .
Many Thanks

Hi,
It's a good idea to set the minimum and maximum heap size to the same value. In any case, don't let the minimum heap size exceed the maximum.
Stop Tomcat server, set environment variable CATALINA_OPTS, and then restart Tomcat.
Look at the file tomcat-install/bin/catalina.sh or catalina.bat for how this variable is used.
For example,
set CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms512m -Xmx512m" (Windows)
export CATALINA_OPTS="-Xms512m -Xmx512m" (ksh/bash)
setenv CATALINA_OPTS "-Xms512m -Xmx512m" (tcsh/csh)
In catalina.bat or catallina.sh, you may have noticed CATALINA_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
or both can be used to specify Tomcat JVM options.
What is the difference between CATALINA_OPTS and JAVA_OPTS?
The name CATALINA_OPTS is specific for Tomcat servlet container,
whereas JAVA_OPTS may be used by other java applications (e.g., JBoss).
Since environment variables are shared by all applications, we don't want Tomcat to inadvertently pick up the JVM options intended for other apps. I prefer to use CATALINA_OPTS.
You have specified size by a capiital "M" ?(3072M) use "m".
Please let me know the results.

Neeraj

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 ?

Crystal Reports 2008 with BO Enterprise XI 3.1

Hi All,
We are in the process of implementing CR2008 with BO Enterprise XI 3.1.
We have completed the installation successfully. We can connect from CR2008 client desktop directly to BI-7 using the BO SAP Connector. But We have the following issues,
1) On CMC (OB Ent Server) we don't see any business object related roles in the list of values under the authorization. We see 3 J2EE related roles only. We did everything according to the documentation. Changed JCO (sapjco.jar) along with the DLLs to various versions and even changed the 64bit to 32bit but no luck. Classpath is also set in Tomcat but still we don't see any of the BO related roles.
2) We have created a connection to universe using Designer (BO Ent). But when we try to connect from CR2008 to universe though the Business Object Enterprise Server using the client desktops, we can only select the fields for the query. But when we try to confirm the query we get a message saying NOT LOGGED ON.
Are we doing the right thing ? We have BI-7 installed on Windows 2003 (64 Bit Server) and BO Enterprise Server XI 3.1 and SAP Connector XI 3.1 Server was also installed on the same server. We have client desktops with Crystal Report 2008 with SAP Connector Client installed.
What are we missing ?
Appreciate if you could kindly help us to get this problem solved as this is dragging for a while now.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Thanks and Regards

Crystal Reports Templates usage - SAP BW MDX query data

Hi Ingo,
How are you?
I am experiencing issues with crystal reports when trying to use crystal reports templates with SAP BW data.
I have successfully created Crystal Report using SAP BW data with NodeID, ParentNodeID hierarchy, Crystal Hierarchical Grouping.
Also developed Xcelsius Dashboard using Live Office --> Crystal Report (SAP BW data) with refresh data on open.
Now trying to create a template for new crystal reports to be designedu2026
The following are observed by me:
1. When I create a crystal report using Report Wizard and select templates from the list shown, the following error displayed for SAP BW data:
2. When I try to apply template using Template Expert and selecting the report which is created using SAP BW data (and formatted), the following error displayed:
u201CCould not apply template to the documentu201D
I would like to know, whether there are known issues with Crystal Reports Templates using SAP BW data? If so, could you suggest any solutions/work around to this issue?
Thanks & Regards,
S.Salai Manimudiyan

I tried the following three methods:
1. Applied all the 12 Crystal Templates
2. Applied my own reports as Template
3. Also applied Crystal Report developed using Templates Fileds.
None of the above is working.
Created a report with BW query data and try to apply all the above templates but the same issue.
If I create a report using eFashion universe and apply all the above works without any problem.
I do agree with you that templates should not depend on the data source, as it is mainly for the common/standard report page layout (to reuse)...
Could you pl. check at your end and let me know the results.
Thanks & Regards,
S.Salai Manimudiyan

WebI Report is taking too long time to opening

Hi All,
When iam trying to open the WebI report in Infoview , it is taking long time to open and refresh,
Please suggest me a solution.
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Mahesh

Hi,
As the issue you are facing is that the webi report is taking too long to open and refresh, I would recommend the below steps.
1. Check whether the webi report is set to "Refreh on Open" if yes probably you need to uncheck, save the report and open it again.
2. Try to run the same query in the backend database and see if it returns the data.
3. Try to run refresh the report for a smaller data selection.
4. make the report run on a specific webi server, and when refreshing have your BOBJ admin monitor that process to see if the process is going in a hung state, using High memory etc.
5. restart webi process and run again
Thanks,

How to replace # or Not assigned with blank in BEx Query Output.

Hi,
While running the query through BEx Query desginer or Anlayser, I am getting # or Not assigned where there are no values.
The requirement is to "Replace # or Not assigned with a blank" in the output.
I want to know, is there any setting in BEx query desginer where we can do this. How to do this.
Please share your inputs on this. Any inputs on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Naveen

Check out SDN-thread: "Re: Remove 'Not assigned'" for more details
Ideas from SDN research:
"a solution i have used is to put each RKF column in a CKF colum then in each CKF use RKF + 0, the outcome is that your # should now be 0s, in the query properties you can set the option to display 0s as blank."
"try to enter a text for the blank entry in the master data maintenance of the relevant objects and set the display option for the objects to 'text'."

Rolling month for webi report using Univ based on BEX Query

Dear Experts,
I'm new to OLAP universes.
We have a requirements of having last 12 months rolling for given measure(Key figure) in webi report using Univ based on Bex Query.
We require a calmonth (time dimension) object (restricted for last 12 months) where user can drag and drop on column section of cross-tab table. User should drag more than one Key figure ( for ex. sales rev and & qty sold) for each month
Could you please provide me the solution to do this?
Thanks
Akshara

Hi Henry,
Thank you for your response.
BEx query has not been created yet. we need to create accordingly and require your help in creating the same.
Regarding reporting requirements, User wants to have adhoc reporting with rolling months ( 12 months or 6 months) functionality. Users want to link any KF to this rolling months dimension.
If we can't have this, what is the alternative that we can propose to user.
Thanks
Akshara.

Hi! Everyone, I have some problems with JOIN and Sub-query; Could you help me, Please?

Dear Sir/Madam
I'm a student who is interested in Oracle Database and
I have some problems with JOIN and Sub-query.
I hope so many of you could help me.
if i use JOIN without sub-query, may it be faster or not?
SELECT field1, field2 FROM tableA INNER JOIN tableB
if i use JOIN with sub-query, may it be faster or not?
SELECT field1,field2,field3 FROM tableA INNER JOIN (SELECT field1,field2 FROM tableB)
Thanks in advance!

As the others have said, the execution plan will give you a better idea about which is faster.
If you're trying to see how using (or not using) a sub-query affects performance, make the rest of the queries as similar as possible. For example, include field3 in both queries, or ignore field3 in both queries.
In this particular case, I guess the optimizer would do the same thing either way, but that's just a guess. I can't see your execution plans.
In general, simpler code is faster, and better in other ways, too. In this case
tableB
is simpler than
(SELECT field1, field2 FROM tableB)
Why do you want a sub-query in this example?
