Data Integration Kit and SAP BI

Hi Guys,
Have a quick question.
My understanding was we use Data Integration kit in order to integrate Crystal Report and SAP BI. To create an Universe , we dont need Data Integration Kit.
Can anyone please confirm?

  • New Features of BOE 4.0 integration kit for SAP

    Dear colleagues,
    I am looking for a presentation that shows the new features of SAP BOE XI 4.0 integration kit for SAP (BW), compared to XI 3.1. I have for example read that regarding WebI it will be possible to connect directly to BEx queries without universe. It is correct ?
    I look to several documents on the market place, but there is no clear document about these new features...
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Thibaud

    no "integration kit" in version 4 - its all nicely embedded into the core product.
    you are correct - webi can direct connect (using BICS) and also can source from an Analysis View (which is an output of either Analysis Services OLAP edition or the Microsoft edition (excel plugin).  you also get a new universe layer (.UNX) which gives you a much better view of your underlying BEx queries/Cubes and allows you to combine with aother data sources.
    lots more info in the product manuals to v4 which are available at...
    http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/
    (just change the product drop down to "SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform"
    some specific info on SAP BW connectivity is here...

  • Integration Kit for SAP - Open SQL access to tables. List incomplete.

    After we install the BO integration kit for SAP and CR 2008 we were able to connect to SAP and open SAP Data Dictionnary tables (Open SQL access).
    I have a problem however:
    when I display the list of available tables, the is not showing all the tables in the SAP system. I believe it stops at some point.
    I see all tables with low letters or starting with /BIC...
    I have custom tables with names ranging from ZR1 to ZR5.
    Of these I only see tables up to ZR2*.
    My guess is :
    either that the table list displayed is limited to a certain mumber of tables
    or that there are some authorisations issues to be solved to view all tables (but the same SAP User sees all tables in SE11)
    or there is a table related setting in the Data dictionnary that makes some tables visible by CR and other not
    Thanks in advance for any answer.
    Claudio Ciardelli

    correct - it stops at one point because showing you more than 30.000 tables doesn't really help. Right click on your connection (server entry), select the menu options, there is an entry called Table name like. in your case enter Z% and hit F5 for a refresh and you will only get tables shown starting with Z

  • Businessobjects Integration kit  for SAP

    Hi all,
    I am integrating BI with Xcelsius tool. For that I want Businessobjects Integration kit  for SAP in my client machine. I have reffered the following installation guide.
    [BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP - Installation and Configuration|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a00ee3b2-5283-2b10-f1bf-8c6413e0898f]
    After selecting  the option Yes, automatically deploy the web application(Step 20), i get one screen for Configuring web application Server. It is asking Sever instance and Service Name.
    What is Server Instance and Service Name? Can you tell any example for Sever instance and Service Name ?
    Help me in this regard.
    Regards,
    Hemalatha J

    Hi Hemalatha,
    You wouldn't necessarily need the Web application to be installed on the client machine, and unless you want the user to access your Business Objects environment using SAP security, you wouldn't necessarily need the Web Application that comes with the SAP Integration Kit.
    I agree that the documentation is not great in explaining what you would need if you want to do what you describe.
    Are you looking to have connected Xcelsius models which use QAaWS over a Universe which is built over SAP BI content (Cube/Query)
    If so, you may find that you only need the data connectivity components of the SAP integration kit.
    Can you further explain what you are trying to do....I may be able to add more assistance.

  • BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP u2013 key for 90 day evaluation version

    Hello,
    I have installed Crystal Reports 2008, a 30-Day evaluation version on my laptop, from here:
    http://www.businessobjects.com/campaigns/forms/downloads/crystal/2008/datasave.asp
    and I would like to connect my reports to the SAP Data Source (SAP ECC 6.0). For this I have downloaded the BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP - 90 day Evaluation version and I try to install it on my laptop. Unfortunately during the installation of the Integration Kit I receive a message u201CThe product key code is not valid or has expiredu201D. The Product key code and the Integration Kit itself I have taken from this page:
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/webcontent/uuid/806c9894-42a5-2b10-648a-d900489b76da [original link is broken]
    Could you please help me with the installation of this integration kit? What is wrong?

    Hi,
    do you have access to Service Marktplace [http://service.sap.com/support]? You can get the temporary keys for BOBJ under Keys & requests .

  • BO Integration Kit for SAP - Linux

    All,
    we want to schedule and publish by email reports, created with Crystal Reports 2008 on queries in SAP BW 7.0.
    To check the fonctionality we installed Crystal Reports Server 2008 on Linux, Crystal Reports 2008 on Windows. For data access of Crystal Report 2008 to BW we installed the BO Integration Kit for SAP. All software could be downloaded in evaluation versions.
    Now we can upload the reports into the CMC of Crystal Reports Server 2008, but when we execute the report, we get the message "failed to load database information". I suppose it is necessary to install the BO Integration Kit for SAP also on the Server side to have data access to BW. Where can I get the evaluation version of BO Instal-lation Kit for SAP for the OS Suse Linux 10.0. ?
    Thanks,
    Thomas

    Hi,
    Crystal Reports Server does not support the SAP Integration Kit. You need at least the BusinessObjects Edge or BusinessObjects Enterprise system installed.
    You need the server environment and the SAP Integration Kit server components.
    you can see the supported platforms at :

  • Integration Kit for SAP - Edge or XI?

    Hi guys, I'm a little confused, I know that BOBJ Edge Server components is a XI, capped and intended for smaller installations. The question is, I don't see in the installation components any "Integration Kit for SAP Solutions" specific for EDGE, however I do see "SBOP EDGE BI, VERSION WITH DATA INTEGRATION (FOR SAP ERP)" that includes the Int Kit.
    The question is, what happened if I installed Edge before without the Int Kit for SAP, do I have to uninstall and re-istall? or I can use the Int Kit for SAP for XI?
    Thanks for your help.

    mmmm, actually I had installed by mistake the Integration Kit for SAP for XI, it did let me install, after the fact I realized that I should had used the one that comes with Edge with Data Integration for ERP.
    I did uninstall and re-installed the correct one, however, I also noticed that the SP2 for the Integration Kit says on the title "BOBJ XI 3.1 Integration Kit for SAP Solutions" and not BOBJ Edge. So makes me wonder if there is a real difference.

  • Licence (Integration Kit for SAP )

    Hello,
    I have downloaded the "BusinessObjects XI 3.0 Integration Kit for SAP" from the link https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/18962 .   I use it with Crystal Report 2008 and it works fine.   Now, I want to buy the licence but someone told me I can't,  I need to buy BO Edge Series or BO Enterprise and I will get Integration Kit for free.
    Could you tell me if I can buy only One Licence of "BusinessObjects XI 3.0 Integration Kit for SAP" and use it with Crystal Report 2008?   If so, could you tell me where and the cost to get it.

    What are the prerequisites for installing the BOXI integration kit for SAP?
    The software we have is Business Objects XI Enterprise Professional for Crystal Reports.  The only module that we have looks to be Crystal Reports, version 11.0.0.748.  There are two Web Intelligence services running called Web Intelligence Job Server v. 11.0.0.748 and Web Intelligence Report Server v. 11.0.0.284.  There is also CR Developer version 11.0.0.895 on the server as well.  We do not have BI and will need to connect to infosets on our R3 system.

  • Install-error "BO Integration KIT -for SAP " STW00152

    Hi,
    In that installation "BO Integration KIT - for SAP" in the phase "CMS-connecting to CMS" I get a errormessage
    "Connect to CMS is not possible. STW00152"
    (Befor them, I installed "BO Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3" successfully)
    I check the central configuration manager and I see BOE120Tomcat and Server Intelligence Agent was in the status "uncompletedly" and WWW Publishing Service was in status "it is explained". I started boht but I got a errormessage "The system cannot find the path specified"
    I open the qualities for the "Server Intelligence Agent" and klick OK - I got a errormessage "the startparameter can't opposed. Error 87. The parameter is incorrect"
    thanks .

    Hi,
    it looks like that even your BOE installation isnt working properly.
    Try to reboot the Server and check if your BOE Server starts. After it starts successfull try to install the SAP ITK.
    If it doesnt start, i would recommend you re- install BOE first.
    Regards
    -Seb.

  • Publishing Reports with BO Integration Kit for SAP

    Post Author: Daniel Stoerzinger
    CA Forum: General
    I have the BO Integration Kit for SAP installed locally and have been able to publish the reports to the Enterprise Server. I'm also able to Open Reports from the SAP tab. However, I've created a lot of "test" reports which I no longer want to see in the list of reports.  I've removed the reports from BO CMC but the Open Reports tab (SAP) still displays the ones I've removed from CMC.   Where is this list stored? Are the report definitions stored within SAP? I've heard that the report definition is stored in SAP and the physical report is saved to the BO Enterprise Server.  But no one within our SAP team has any idea and claim these are stored on the BO server. 
    (Someone tell me I'm not the only one in the universe trying to use Crystal Reports with SAP)

    You can use the "Crystal Content Admin workbench" (transaction /crystal/rptadmin) and delete the reports from SAP BW and BOE ins a single step
    its part of the Transports of the SAP Integration Kit.  You need to import the transports into the BW System

  • Integration kit for SAP BOE 4.0

    Hello,
    We are trying to set up Bobj environment with SAP BOE 4.0 and integrate it with SAP BW . For doing that we need to install Integration Kit for SAP. Could anyone please let me know what is the latest version of the integration kit that can be used along with the installation of SAP BOE XI 4.0
    thanks,
    Siddhu

    Hi
    I can confirm that in SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 the Integration Kit is integrated in the main product and that there is no separate install for it.
    I believe you should be able to access the manuals for  SAP BusinessObjects 4.0 on service.sap.com.
