Difference between Crystal Report and Xcelsius ?

Hi,
I am newbie to CR and Xcelsius. In most of the articles I read about CR and Xcelsius, I could not understand the difference between these two. Can anyone tell me in simple technical language whats the difference ?
Also, does Xcelsius works only with Excel sheet ? Whats about pulling data frm Mysql to show data ?
Thanks,
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
Xcelsius is a dashboarding tool. In its simplest format it takes data from an Excel sheet and displays it graphically. It is possible to import live data into Xcelisus, primarily through Web service connections and Excel XML maps. It produces swf files (flash).
Crsytal Reports is a toll for building reports. These are reports typically laid out in a header, detail footer format, though there is a high level of control over the display. Crystal Reports will connect to almost anything, Relational DBs, Excel, XML data. Business Objects Universes. You can imbedd Xcelsius swf files into Crystal Reports.
In summary, CR is for reporting and Xcelsius is for dashboarding

Difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2

Can anyone please help me know the difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2? Both the support guides says that it supports Office 2007. I have a problem in exporting the reports to Excel 2007 .I have downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 but still unable to view my complete reports in Excel 2007 through infoview because few of my report's colums are truncated and it still exports in Excel 2003.I have LiveOfficeXIR2_SP4 and Office 2007 installed. Is it so that i have to switch over to Business Objects XI R2 or any other to solve my problem instead of using Crystal Reports Server 2008 or is it the problem with the version of my Live office.Pls help me regarding this..

Difference between Crystal Reports Runtime Packages

Post Author: blueyoj
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,
We develop an application using Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 and we need to deploy Crystal Report viewer as a part of our setup package. Under Runtime Packages page, I see the following merge modules and MSI.
Crystal Reports 2008 Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Crystal Reports XI Crystal Reports 10 Crystal Reports 9 Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2005 Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2003 Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2002
What is the difference between Crystal Report xx (version) and Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 200x?
If our application should support both 32-bit and 64-bit, does it mean that we need to create two separate setup packages and include proper Crystal Report? I can't find any merge module that supports both.

Difference between class report and interactive report

please give me the differences between classical report and interactive report

Hi,read the following :
In ABAP, there are a total of 7 types of reports. They are:
Classical Reports
Interactive Reports
Logical Database Reports
ABAP query
ALV Reports (ALV stands for ABAP List Viewer)
Report Writer/Report Painter
Views (There are different types of views also)
Classical Reports
These are the most simple reports. It is just an output of data using the Write statement inside a loop.
Classical reports are normal reports. These reports are not having any sub reports. IT IS HAVING ONLY ONE SCREEN/LIST FOR OUTPUT
Interactive Reports
As the name suggests, the user can Interact with the report. We can have a drill down into the report data. For example, Column one of the report displays the material numbers, and the user feels that he needs some more specific data about the vendor for that material, he can HIDE that data under those material numbers.
And when the user clicks the material number, another report (actually sub report/secondary list) which displays the vendor details will be displayed.
We can have a basic list (number starts from 0) and 20 secondary lists (1 to 21).
Logical Database Reports
Logical database is another tool for ABAP reports. Using LDB we can provide extra features for ABAP reports.
While using LDB there is no need for us to declare Parameters.
Selection-screen as they will be generated automatically.
We have to use the statement NODES in ABAP report.
ABAP Query Reports
ABAP query is another tool for ABAP. It provides efficency for ABAP reports. These reports are very accurate.
Transaction Code : SQ01
Report Writer / Report painter
Super users and end users can use Report Painter/Report Writer tools to write their own reports.
Giving them the ability to report on additional fields at their discretion shifts the report maintenance burden to them, saving SAP support groups time and effort normally spent creating and maintaining the reports.
ALV reports
Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
There is no difference between drill down and interactive report, they are the same.
With drilldown reporting, SAP provides you with an interactive information system to let you evaluate the data collected in your application. This information system is capable of analyzing all the data according to any of the characteristics that describe the data. You can also use any key figures you wish to categorize your data. You can display a number of objects for a given key figure, or a number of key figures for a given object. In addition, the system lets you carry out any number of variance analyses (such as plan/actual comparisons, fiscal year comparisons, comparisons of different objects, and so on).
*More on Classical Vs Interactive*
Classical Reports
These are the most simple reports. Programmers learn this one first. It is just an output of data using the Write statement inside a loop.
Classical reports are normal reports. These reports are not having any sub reports. IT IS HAVING ONLY ONE SCREEN/LIST FOR OUTPUT.
Events In Classical Reports.
INTIALIZATION: This event triggers before selection screen display.
AT-SELECTION-SCREEN: This event triggers after proccesing user input still selection screen is in active mode.
START OF SELECTION: Start of selection screen triggers after proceesing selection screen.
END-OF-SELECTION : It is for Logical Database Reporting.
Interactive Reports
As the name suggests, the user can Interact with the report. We can have a drill down into the report data. For example, Column one of the report displays the material numbers, and the user feels that he needs some more specific data about the vendor for that material, he can HIDE that data under those material numbers.
And when the user clicks the material number, another report (actually sub report/secondary list) which displays the vendor details will be displayed.
We can have a basic list (number starts from 0) and 20 secondary lists (1 to 21).
Events associated with Interactive Reports are:
1. AT LINE-SELECTION
2. AT USER-COMMAND
3. AT PF<key>
4. TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION.
HIDE statement holds the data to be displayed in the secondary list.
sy-lisel : contains data of the selected line.
sy-lsind : contains the level of report (from 0 to 21)
Interactive Report Events:
AT LINE-SELECTION : This Event triggers when we double click a line on the list, when the event is triggered a new sublist is going to be generated. Under this event what ever the statements that are been return will be displayed on newly generated sublist.
AT PFn: For predefined function keys...
AT USER-COMMAND : It provides user functions keys.
TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION :top of page event for secondary list.

Difference between Interactive report and ALV Interactive report.

What is the difference between Interactive report and ALV Interactive report.
i think there is no much difference the same Interactive report Events and functionality we will implement with ALV.
Experts guide me.

Hi,
ALV interactive report gives many advantages than interactive report like sorting, summing and getting graphics.
An interactive report generally basic list displayed. User double clicks on any valid line or user selects a line and presses as button on the tool bar. Then the corresponding event is triggered

Crystal Reports and Xcelsius 2008 Conference

Hello all,
I'm not sure which forum I should be putting this in so I'm putting it in the General Forum. We just purchased Crystal Reports and Xcelsius in the middle of last year and I missed last years conference. Is there a conference anywhere this year that that will really focus on Business Objects platforms? I downloaded the SAP TechED 2008 schedule for next month but everything seems to really be geared only to SAP activities which we have none of.
Thanks in advance,
Ron

Keep your eyes on the following link

This lists current events for Business Objects and should list the next user conference as it gets closer.

Crystal Reports and Xcelsius Installation

Hi I have a mac book pro and wanted to learn crystal reports and xcelsius in a hands on way. I have created a partition on the laptop and am wondering which OS to install - Windows(if so which one) or Linux. Immediate goal is have an environment where I can use CR and Xcelsius with a non sap data source. My end goal eventually is to have an environment where I can use Crystal report and xcelsius with SAP ECC6.
I am trying to learn CR, Xcelsius with SAP ECC and SAP BW. Your ideas and isights are welcome.
Thanks

Hi Otto,
Thanks for the link. Your link will be a good start for me in terms of finding out the major components required to accomplish this 'project'. I am definitely interesting in collaborating and discussing the findings and exploring the areas of opportunity, so lets stayi in touch.
I dont have access to any windows os right now. So I am thinking about installing linux on my mac book pro since its free and probably going to beef up the ram to 3 gb (per my understanding max supported on my 2007 model). Hopefully this will get me going in the right direction.
Any recommendations on Suse vs Red hat. looking for something that is free.
Thanks

Connection between Crystal Report and SAP ECC

Hi. can you help me please.
I'm testing the connection between Crystal Report and SAP ECC. I tried using the tables,
but by making the links between foreign keys does not bring data. The other way I tried was using an ABAP function module,
but using this way, Crystal will only works like a Presentation Layer because all the work was did it in ABAP;
besides that shows the limitation that I can not pass as input a table.
what is the best practice for reporting on SAP ECC using Crystal Report?
Thanks.

Hi,
Crystal Reports is able to leverage tables, ABAP functions, SAP query and InfoSets.
what is the issue when using the tables ?

Difference between Drilldown report and Interactive report

There is no difference between drill down and interactive report, they are the same.
With drilldown reporting, SAP provides you with an interactive information system to let you evaluate the data collected in your application. This information system is capable of analyzing all the data according to any of the characteristics that describe the data. You can also use any key figures you wish to categorize your data. You can display a number of objects for a given key figure, or a number of key figures for a given object. In addition, the system lets you carry out any number of variance analyses (such as plan/actual comparisons, fiscal year comparisons, comparisons of different objects, and so on).
You can produce both simple, data-directed lists (basic reports) and complex, formatted lists in drilldown reporting (form reports).
Drilldown report provides you with comfortable functions for navigating through your data. For example, you can jump to the next level of detail or the next report object on the same level, hide individual levels and switch between the detail and drilldown lists. It also provides a number of additional functions which let you process lists interactively (sorting, conditions, ranking lists, and so on). SAP Graphics, SAPmail and the Excel List Viewer are also integrated into drilldown reporting.
The drilldown functions are divided into three groups which differ in the number of functions available. That way each user can choose the functional level most suited for his requirements.
In addition to the online functions for displaying reports, drilldown reporting also provides functions which let you print reports. A number of formatting functions are available to let you determine the look of your printed reports (page breaks, headers and footers, underscores, and so on).
The menus and the functions available directly on the drilldown report make it easy to use the information system.
What is an Interactive Report?
An interactive report generally works in the following fashion:
1. Basic list is displayed.
2. User double clicks on any valid line
    or
    User selects a line and presses as button on the tool bar.
3. The corresponding event is triggered
4. Then in the code, the line on which action was done, is read.
5. Depending on the values in that selected line, a secondary list is displayed.
6. Steps from 2-5 are repeated till the end.
From the above explanation, I believe, its clear that, the 20th list, will essentially depend on the "selected line" of 19th list. According to your question, you want to move to 20th list directly, without "a prior list". May I know the exact requirement so that, an appropriate solution can be suggested?
Again, your question was, how to move to 20th list directly on pressing of execute button. Its not possible to move to 20th list. You must cross over a basic list, before you can go to a different list level, using the code given by Pavan.
What are Drilldown reports?
The lines of basic list of a drilldown report when clicked, will take the user to the corresponding (standard) object's display.
For eg: Suppose your report's primary component is purchase requisition, (assume you are printing PR details), and the basic list displays details of many PRs.
Eg: when clicked on a particular line of the PR basic list, it takes you to std t-code me53 (display of purchase requisition). This is the 'Drill-down' functionality.
For this, in the at-line selection of your program, as per the above ex: you'll set the parameter ID of PR number BAN (that you can get from Data element) in memory (using set parameter id) and then calling the corresponding transaction (usually skipping initial screen of the std t-code).
Likewise, if it's Material Number (Matnr), you'll be displaying MM03 transaction w.r.t. the line's matnr.
AKSHAT..........

Difference between dynamic report and template

I think the subject line covers it, I am trying to find out, that when I save the report, I can save it as static or dynamic report or as a template. but what is the diff between dynamic report and template?
Thanks.

Hi Zack,
SAP provides some standard templates as report templates. The users are provided with the option to save their own versions of reports as 'Report Templates' for future use. As a super user one could create a custom template and save to the template library which the other users could access from the template library.
For example if you have 'ACCOUNT' drilldown as a standard report template, you could define a new template as for example, 'Entity' drilldown template.
Hope it is clear now.
Thanks,
Sreeni

Difference Between Crystal Report Template and Sub Report

I am not able to get the Report Template Option/menu.
I am working with Visual Studio 2005 , Crystal Report Version 10.2
Do i need to have Crystal Report Server in order to work with Template.
Also i will like to know the diff. between Template and Sub Report?

Hello,
The Report Template Wizard is not part of Crystal in .NET. You need to upgrade to the full version of Crystal Reports.
Template is a base report to work from. Subreport is another report object that can be inserted into a section of the main report.
Thank you
Don
