Crystal Reports Server 2011 and BW 7 as a data source for uploaded reports.

Hello,
I am hoping someone can provide me with a clear answer for this.
Lets assume..
1. We are running crystal reports server 2011 and BW 7
2. We want to publish a report in the BI Launch pad so users can view it
3. Can we create a crystal report in the report designer with the data source as BW 7 then upload it to the reports server and have it run on-demand and Run over night?
Can anyone shed some light in this area?
kind regards
david

Hi,
Crystal Reports Server is not supporting the SAP Integration Kit. You will need BusinessObjects Edge or BusinessObjects Enterprise

CRM 7.0 - Enhancement of Data Sources for interactive Reporting

Hallo All,
I would like to know whether anybody has positive experience with the enhancement of CRM Data Sources for interactive Reporting. I read that the enhancement of Customer fields should be possible (Those Data Sources below the Hierarchy node /CRMBW/ROOT).
I have seen that the extract structure can be enhanced via RSA6 (as for other data sources).
Questions:
1. Which USEREXIT / BADI has to be used to fill the added fields?
2. Does it work?
Best regards

Hi!
Those DS are not meant to be enhanced manually but only by one of the following two ways:
1. Adding custom fields with the Application Enhancement Tool (AET) in the CRM UI.
2. Adding SAP fields with the Interactive Reporting Enhancement Workbench (IREW).
The AET is available since CRM 7.0. Please find more details in the SAP Help Portal:

Data source for SQR reporting

Is it possible to use the Brio Query or Report Results as a data source for an SQR report? Instead of accessing a database for an SQR, can I use the Results section instead?

N0 you need to create ur own generic datasource for line items - it is not delivered.
0FI_GL_4 reads BSEG and BKPF
where as the new Gl line items is based on table FAGLFLEXA

Switching Data Source for a report with stored procedure

Post Author: ysbn
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I've created a report and deployed it on a Crystal Server. The report is based on a certain stored procedure which also exists on other DB machines in my environment (Oracle machines). When I try to switch my report object to work with other machines (not the one originally used when the report was designed) the activation of the report fails. The error I see in the preview window is:
Error in File <my rpt file name>: Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 6550 ]
When I try the same thing with a report which is based on a view and not a stored procedure the switching of Data Source works perfectly.
Is there a problem switching between data sources from the server when the report is based on stored procedure? Are there any configurations I need to do in order to support this scenario?
Thanks!

Hi everyone~
i am now facing the same problem
i am using CR2008 and Visual Studio 2008 c# to write a window program
because we have 2 db environment (one is production , the other one is development) so i have set a prarameter to switch db connection in c# code.
the database is Oracle, and the the report will connect to Oracle procedure (which it is stored in package) this procedure will return reference cursor, so the report will loop up this cursor to generate report.
at first time, it work fine when i open the report in CR2008 designer and point to dev database (ie datasource point to oracle procedure) . but when i want to deploy this win application to client and point to prod database, it show (vendor error 6550)
i found that i cannot change the datasource during runtime in c# code...
am i miss something in code? here attached a part of this code...
private void setDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo info, ReportDocument doc)
            Tables myTables = doc.Database.Tables;
            foreach (Table myTable in myTables)
                TableLogOnInfo logOnInfo = myTable.LogOnInfo;
                logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = info;
                logOnInfo.TableName = myTable.Name;
                myTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo);
                //myTable.Location = info.UserID + "." + "pkg_crystal_report." + myTable.Name;
                //someone suggest i have to set the 'Location' for change the datasource, but i am not sure how to construct a
                //string for point to oracle prcedure
i will check it freq ... hope any expert can give me some advice ~
thank you very much!!!

Data Source for Oracle reports

Hi,
Can Oracle Reports support anyother data source. I am using
Reports Server to invoke reports. The requirement is client
passing the dat that have to come in the report. (The size of
data can be high).So is there any method other than sending the
data as parametes(which in this case is not feasible).
The client is a browser.
Regards
Ravi

hello,
oracle reports 6i supports SQL, PLSQL and Express as datasource.
for passing large amounts of data, a temporary table in the
database would be most reasonable.

When overriding the data source for a report in RAS-Error Using CRAS2008sp3

ErrorCode:515 ErrorMsg:"This field name is not known.

ANy ideas.

Need a LOT more info. Version, service pack, dev language, windows or web app?
From the error mesage it indicates something has changed from the original data batabase table/filed info from what you are setting it too.
Try verifying the report manually to see if all your log on info and database are still the same.
Thank you

Using Web Service a Data Source for my Report

Hi All,
I'm trying to use a Web service as a PDS for my Oracle9ias reports.
I have a few questions on this.
1) Can the webservice Return a Complex data type e.g java.util.Vector? If Yes, How does the report extract data frm the Vecor?
2) If the first option isn't feasible, Can I go for a array of objects as return values provided those objects are serializable?Again how would the report extract data from array of objects?
3) OR is it advisable to go for Document style web service that returns me an XML document?
Regards,
Ritesh

Data source for Deposit Advice (XML) and Live CheckWrite (XML) reports

Hello All,
We need to customize the Deposit Advice (XML) and Live Check Write(XML) reports to accomodate a few business requirements. We already have customizations for these reports in non-XML versions. For Ex: USPAYPST.rdf for Deposit Advice report. As these non-XML RDF reports are going to be unsupported by Oracle soon, we need to customize the XML versions of these report available in R12.1.3.
As these reports are kicked off by the PYUGEN spawned program, therefore I need information on the data source for these reports as soon as possible.
Looking forward to your prompt help.
Thanks,
Rahul

Now, I have anew problem here. I modified the USPAYPST.rdf report for Deposit Advice and then changed concurrent program output to XML from Text.
I attached a RTF template to the concurrent program to have the output in XML.
When I run Deposit Invoice Report from the SRS window, it finishes off normally and log file says the number of records processed but no output file is generated.
I also tried looking into the XML generated through View XMl and there too no output file is generated.
I am confused if the Deposit Advice program can only generate Text output. As PYUGEN is the executable for this report, I have no idea if XML file can even be generated.
All pointers to this issue are welcome.
Thanks,
Rahul

Data Source to upload plan data for CO_OM_CCA_: CC: Costs and Allocations

Hi Guru's,
We have Data source that which upload Actual data for CCA (0CO_OM_CCA_1 - Cost Centers:cost and allocations). Every time it is full upload before loading the data deletion of previous load request will be done.
One more information required that i have checked in the BW cube for plan data it is available in the info cube for one cost center and rest of the costcenter i don't have the data now the users are requesting to upload the plan data for rest of cost centers.
Now as per the business requirement the users are requesting to upload the plan data in to the same i am not sure whether it will pull the plan data with actuals in to BW cube. Is there any alternate with the same data source or else is there any specific data source for uploading Costs and Allocations plan data
Please suggest me how can i go a head with this requirement.
Thanks in Advance.
Ganni

You can use the same datasource to load plan/budget data to the cube for all the costcenters. And regarding the actuals, you can use 0CO_OM_CCA_9 datasource to load to actuals cube and create a multi on top of both plan and actuals cube for reporting purposes.

Adhoc Reporting using Data Sources instead of Report Model

Hi Gurus,
I'm working on SSRS 2008. I'm trying to create Adhoc Report using Report Builder 3.0. To select Data Source, both *.rsds and *.smdl are listed. I selected a Data Source which points to a SQL database. When I add New datasets, I'm able to add the fields and
it automatically detect relationships (Joins) using Primary Key and Foreign Key defined in the tables. I'm also able to edit the query. I ran the report and it ran successfully.
My question is I couldn't find any documentation regarding using Data Source for Adhoc Reporting. MS SQL documentation and forums insists that Report Model is required for Adhoc Reporting.
Please let me know if someone tried to create Adhoc Report using Data Source instead of Report Model. While I understand there are more benefits using Report Model (define entities/attributes, show/hide entity/attributes, organize entities/attributes etc.),
I just want to know if this is possible.
Are there any known limitation using this method?
Thanks In Advance!

Hi Ereswaran,
Yes, we can create ad hoc report using report using data source instead of Report Model. Ad hoc reports typically are used to answer a specific question at appoint in time, so consequently people don’t spend a lot of time arranging and formatting the data
in a precise way. Other report development tools are available in Reporting Services to support more sophisticated reporting requirements.
Using Report Builder, we can build a simple report that display data form a single data source as defined by a report model. This tool is most useful for business users who need access to information but lack the skills to write a SQL query. If we have full
experience of SQL query, of course we can use data source instead of Report Model.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

After install Crystal Report Server 2011, can not access control tools

Afte install Crystal Report Server 2011, can not access control tools from web or from application.
My server OS is Windows 2008 R2 SP1. I follow the default setting. How to fix it?
Error message is above.

Is Tomcat started? On your Start menu you should have an option to get to "Tomcat Configuration" or, under the CRS menu you can run the "Central Configuration Manager" to start Tomcat.
What URL are you using to connect to the web app? By default Tomcat runs on port 8080 so your URL should look something like this: "http://<servername>:8080/BOE/CMC" or "http://<servername>:8080/BOE/BI".
If Tomcat is running and you're trying to access it from another computer, check to see if the Windows Firewall is turned on for the server - if it is, turn it off for "Domain" access.
If Tomcat won't start, go to the folder where Tomcat is installed and then look in the "logs" folder. There should be a file called "stderr.log" which you can open in Notepad to see what types of errors might be occurring (you can ignore any errors having to do with "persisted sessions".) If there are other errors, post in the BI Platform space to get assistance.

Install Crystal Reports on same machine as Crystal Reports Server 2011

Hi All,
Is it possible to install Crystal Reports 2008 or 2011 on the same machine as Crystal Reports Server 2011.
We have a number of different Data Sources which are not so accessible by the clients but will be accessible from our Server.
So is there a way to allow users to develop reports on the server - by the above suggestion or some other method?
Thanks,
Sinead

Hi,
I am not 100% sure if it's possible with these versions. with older versions, they shared common folders and it was not recommended. Have into account that applying Service Packs and FixPacks will be complicated as well.
I won't recommend either giving access to your users to the server machine. You can always set up Terminal Server with only the Crystal designer and middleware configured and tailor the level of access users have to that specific server.
Regards,
Julian
