Crystal reports with SAP BI Infocube

All,
I need to create a report from the BW Infocube . I have the SAP integration installed and working properly and I am able to create reports from Bex queries, but I am unable to see any Infocubes in the. Do I need to generate the Infocube as an export data source in order to use this as the data source for generating the report in Crystal reports? Any advise....

Tanu,
   If you want to see your BEX Queries on Crystal reports then there is setting you have do in your Bex Queries. On the Bex query design choose your query properties and on your far right hand side you will see the properties tabs with General, variable Sequence etc. you will also see Tab " Advanced"  choose that tab and select the check box "Allow External Access to this Query". you will be able to see your query on Crystal report .
Hope it helps,
Cheers,
Balaji

    In one customer, we want integrate SAP BI 7.0 on Business Objects XI R2 SP2 ( Full Control Right ) to delivery dedicated reports to target users ( Scheduling )
    We strart with a simple query that it works fine on Bex..
    The integration Kit for SAP was installed on BO server and transports on SAP BW Server (based on Thread of Ingo).
    For scheduling, I create a Business View based on my BW query and I create my crystal report. Everything work fine, when I launch my report localy on my desktop.
    The problem arrives when I want schedule my report on the CMC or in infoview. I received a error message :
    Failed to open the connection. D:ApplBusiness ObjectsBusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5DataprocSched  -  system - ~tmp148860c59ff44c6.rpt
    I try to schedule a report without Business View but I receive the same message.
    Questions :
    1 ) Is the Integation Kit for SAP is enable for this environement ( SAP BI 7.0 and BO XI R2 SP2 ) ?
    2) Have you any suggestion of resolution for my problem ?
    If you need more info, I will update my thread..
    Thanks in advance for your help...
    Cédric

    Thanks for your quick reply !!!
    are you able to run your report on-demand in the InfoView?
    --> I receive my error when I open/run  the report.
    Which version of CR Designer are you using?
    -->  CR 11.5.9
    Any chance to upgrade? There is already SP6 available for XI R2.
    --> We project to migrate to R3.1 this year but we want to show report earlier ( if it's possible on R2 of course ).

  • Connecting Crystal report with SAP MAX DB DATABASE

    Hi friends,
    Can we connect SAP MAXDB database with crystal report to generate reports.
    If yes pls give me steps to do the same.
    basically we want to generate few reports in crystal report(separate from SAP ABAP)
    rgds

    > Can we connect SAP MAXDB database with crystal report to generate reports.
    Technically that's possible -y es.
    > basically we want to generate few reports in crystal report(separate from SAP ABAP)
    You can use the SAP standard tools (SAP Query - SQ00) or Quick Views (SQVI) to do the same in ABAP.
    If you connect to the database with an external tool you have to use a user who has ALL permissions on the database, means, a full table can accidentally be deleted. The user can also use ALL tables.

    Hi,
    For functions to be used in a report, they must meet two conditions:
    u2022 Functions must have defined return types for each of the output
    parameters.
    u2022 Functions must not have whole tables as input parameters.

  • 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 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 reports with BI

    Hi
    what is deffirence for make crystal reports with Bi and build universe and make report on Universe?
    which will be most useful
    what scenerio we use deffirent cases?

    Hi,
    Crystal reports provides you with more features regarding formating your reports. It is a more powerful but also more complex tool when compared to Web Intelligence. Normally you use CR if you want to create highly formatted standard reports. You can even embed XCelsius dashboards in a CR document. Do not forget that in order to design a CR report you need to install locally the crystal reports designer tool. Another major difference if that depending on the integration option you chose during the installation you can publish your CR reports in both the SAP BI and BOBJ system. This is helpful when you want to implement multipass report bursting and assign reports on SAP roles directly on your SAP system. As you mentioned CR reports are built using direct SAP BI drivers. You cannot build a CR report based on a OLAP (SAP BI) universe.
    Web Intelligence (WebI) on the other hand is web-based and is meant to be a tool for ad-hoc reporting. The user is able to create rather quickly appealing reports and the learning curve is rather short. Web Intelligence reports are based on universes which are created on top of BI queries or InfoCubes.
    I personally find the handling of BI hierarchies a little better in WebI when compared to Crystal Reports.
    Hope this helps,

  • Error when saving Crystal Report  to SAP BW (via SAP toolbar)

    Dear Experts -
    Our landscape is:
    Backend - SAP BW7.4 with Service pack 5
    Crystal Version - Crystal Reports 2013 SP1 Patch 6
    Business Objects - SAP BI 4.1 SP1 Patch 6
    I'm trying to save a crystal report to SAP BW via the toolbar option, but the attached error is being returned.
    Also, if I try to create a new report from BW, an error is thrown.  'An error occurred while generating a new report template; No error'.
    Any feedback/pointers would be valuable.
    Regards,
    Tarun.

    I realize this post is a few months old, but did S. B. O. Shell Business One get this issue cleared up by installing the BW transports mentioned in Josh's reply?  I'm interested in knowing whether this was resolved as we are receiving the same error as the one shown in the initial post.

  • 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

    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.
