Error on accessing SAP BW query with Crystal Reports 2008: Kein Fehler

Hi,
I want to create a Crystal 2008 report with SAP BW data.
The query is set to allow external access and using the BW toolbar in Crystal, I can connect to the SAP BW system and select the query. But then the following message appears:
Fehler bei der Erstellung einer neuen Berichtsvorlage.
Kein Fehler.
COM exception caught in CExtToolBar::InitializeGlobalData(). HR = 0x0388bb27
The message is always in German, no matter if I'm logged on in English.
What's wrong? Do I have to install something else? Is something missing?
Thanks and best regards,
Heiko

Hi everybody,
I just made an authorization trace.

  • Error when opening a BW query with Crystal Reports

    Hi all,
    I am having problems when opening a BW query with Crystal Reports, the strange thing is that it only happens with
    the bo user I have created. If I use a user that already exists and that has SAP_ALL authorization it works.
    I don't know if this could be an authorizations issue, but I have created a role with all the authorizations stated in the manual.
    The error I am getting is the following:
    "An error occurred while generating a new report template. Error in UNKNOWN.RPT file"
    Does anyone know what this could be?
    Thanks

    Well,
    I cannot access the system now. But I think it is not an issue of authorization, because I assigned all the good user's role to the bo user,
    and even with that, it still don't work.
    Thanks

    What We Know
    The error invalid export DLL or export format may occur when exporting to Excel and RTF formats in .NET applications utilizing the Crystal Reports 2008 runtime (v 12.0)
    Other export formats like Adobe PDF, Crystal Reports, CSV all export with no error
    Some customers have resolved this by adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to their environment path variables
    This may have something to do with the file libpng10.dll. Both crxf_xls.dll and crxf_rtf.dll are dependent on it.
    Thanks in advance for your co-operation. We hope to figure out what is causing this issue soon.

    Hi,
    I am also having the same problem, except that I am not using Crystal Report 2008 runtime but the actual Crystal Report 2008 installation on Windows XP SP2 with VS Studio 2005 (VC++). MS .NET Framework 2.0.
    Cyrstal Report XIR2 was installed on the same machine but uninstalled before installing Crystal Report 2008.
    So only one instance of libpng10.dll and found in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86
    Crpe32.dll        3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
    Crxf_xls.dll       3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
    Crxf_rtf.dll         3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
    crdb_oracle.dll  3/1/2008 version 12.0.0.683
    libpng10.dll       3/1/2008 version 1.0.30.0             122880 bytes
    There is no problem for exporting to pdf, html, word, csv, Crystal Report. If I create a testing report without any data from database, the testing report can then be exported also to rtf and xls.
    Oracle 11.1.0.6 is the DB for the reports.
    Adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to the path did not resolve my problem.
    Any idea to fix this issue?
    Thanks

  • Getting Logon Failed error connecting to SAP R/3 with Crystal

    I have Crystal Reports 2008 and also the SAP Integration Kit installed on my desktop.  I've imported the transports into my DEV and QAS systems and am trying to connect directly to R/3 from Crystal using the SAP Table, Cluster or Function choice.
    I receive the error:
    Logon failed.  Details: You do not have the necessary rights to design reports against the SAP system.  Please check with your system administrator. 
    I'm using a logon that has full rights within SAP.  It recognizes my password because when I try a password that I know is wrong I get a different error message: Logon failed. Detail: Name or password is incorrect.  I receive the same error in PRD even though I have not imported the transports into that client.
    I have Crystal Server but am not trying to use that at the moment.  Just Crystal Reports as a standalone product.  If I've left something out please let me know.
    Thank you,

  • SAP Integration Kits 3.0 with Crystal Report 2008

    Hi,
    I have installed Intergration Kits 3.0 and Crystal Report 2008.
    I open the Crystal Report Designer from Start >Programs >Crystal Reports 2008 > Crystal Reports 2008.
    As mentioned by Ingo, I have ticked the MDX driver setting via SAP menu option.
    I clicked on u201CCreate New report from queryu201D
    Selected the fields from the Query and placed in the report.
    When I click on Preview button, I hits the following:
    Database Connector Error: u2018Function module u201C/CRYSTAL/MDX_GET_STREAM_INFOu201D not found.u2019
    Another problem that I encountered is when I can only enter UPPERCASE for my SAP BW User ID and Password in Crystal Report (when I try to logon into SAP BW in Crystal by clicking on the u201CCreate New report from queryu201D). So I need to change my password to Uppercase in BW.
    Have you encountered this before? I guess it is related to installation problem? Should I uninstall and reinstall again?
    Please advise, thank you.

    Hi,
    So I just need to send the neccessary files mentioned in transports_EN.txt to my basis guys with your instruction. Then I should be able to use the MDX driver in crystal reports already?
    Correct!
    the SAP BusinessObjects documentation (and Ingo) mentions that the transports have to be imported. HOW to do this is an SAP Basis administration related issue and is NOT described in the BusinessObjects documentation.
    As far as I know the appropriate files (there is a dependency related to the version and the type (BW or R/3) of your SAP backend system) described in  transports_EN.txt) have to be copied in the directory which is set to be the tranport queue for your SAP system and then the admin can use the STMS transaction to import them.
    NOTE: In a BW system you have to import BOTH the SAP Basis transports AND the SAP BW related transports. That means you have to import in total 9 transports = 18 files

  • Problems with consuming SAP BW WSDL in Crystal Reports 2008

    Hello,
    I am trying to use the WSDL generated from the SAP BW in Crystal Reports 2008 using the XML and Web Services driver, but when I input the WSDL url Crystal does not interpret the url passed in as a WSDL url and the Services, Port and Method drop downs are blank.
    If I manually input the values I get the error below from Crystal
    "Logon failed.
    Details: Web Service Location is invalid
    WSDL Exception (at /wsdl:definitions/wsdl:portType/wsp:Policy): faultCode=INVALID_WSDL:Encountered unexpected element
    'Policy'."
    I know this is a valid WSDL as I have tested it with Xcelsius 2008 and I am able to get data back in Xcelsius. I found SAP note 1485601 that talks about Crystal Reports not being able to reading a WSDL generated by a SAP system.
               https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap/support/notes/1485601
    Based on the error message from Crystal above I feel that Crystal is unable to read the WSDL URL, has anyone else encountered this issue, if so is there a possible work around.
    We are running Crystal Reports 2008 V1 SP3 FP 3 and the SAP Integration Kit is also on the same service pack and patch level.
    Any help or insight into the issue will be very helpful.
    Thanks,
    Kumar

    Ingo,
    I am using the "XML and Web Services" connection option in Crystal Reports, and using a HTTP WSDL.Here is a sample of how WSDL url generated by SAP BW.
    http://servername:8000/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/bndg_DF6E553E117931F19C6B001560A1B616/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=100
    We have a two structure BW query (one for keyfigures and one as characteristic structure ), I know that this will cause the structure for the characteristics to show up as a single field and each element of the structure will result in a row of data, but we need the individual elements on the structure and we were hoping to get around the MDX driver limitation by using the web service connection.
    The data in the Crystal Reports 2008 needs to be in a crosstab layout as shown below, but if we use the Crosstab expert the key figures are stacked one under the other and also we cannot get the labels from the KPI structure to show up on the Crystal Reports.
                   Characteristic Structure
                 Column1            Column2                     Column3     
    Label 1          KeyFigure 1          KeyFigure 2                    KeyFigure 3
    Label 2          KeyFigure 1          KeyFigure 2                KeyFigure 3
    Label 3          KeyFigure 1          KeyFigure 2                    KeyFigure 3
    This layout is already built in a Web Template and therefore we were planning on using the WSDL to get the layout directly into Crystal report, but I keep running into the WSDL error when I try to consume the WSDL in Crystal.
    Thanks,
    Kumar

  • Report Selection Formula Error with Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3.5

    Hello,
    My name is Carlos, and I would like to report a defect found in the Crystal Reports 2008 SP 3 Fix Pack 3.5 Runtime that is affecting the majority of our reports.  As well, I would like to ask if there is a simple workaround that does not involve updating hundreds of reports.
    The issue is that the runtime engine incorrectly returns the report selection formula.  I have included sample code showing what I mean.
    To reproduce;
    1. Create a simple report that has a date range filter like: 
      ({Orders.Order_Date} >= {?START_DATE})  
      AND ({Orders.Order_Date} <= {?END_DATE})
    2. Create a test app as follow that loads a report using the following code:
    ReportDocument rpt = null;
    try
      rpt = new ReportDocument();
      rpt.Load("TestReport.rpt");
      this.txtMessage.Text = string.Format(
        "ReportSelectionFormula:{0}{1}",
         Environment.NewLine,
      rpt.RecordSelectionFormula);
    catch (Exception ex)     
      this.txtMessage.Text = ex.ToString();     
    3.  Install Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3.5 Runtime [https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006341772011E/cr2008fp35_redist.zip]..
    4.  Execute the app.
    At this stage, the screen shows
    ReportSelectionFormula:
    (   (  NOT  {Orders.Order_Date} >= {?START_DATE}  )   AND   (  NOT  {Orders.Order_Date} <= {?END_DATE}  )   ) 
    The expected value is:
    ReportSelectionFormula:
    (   (  {Orders.Order_Date} >= {?START_DATE}  )   AND   (  {Orders.Order_Date} <= {?END_DATE}  )   ) 
    If we were to repeat the same test above but use the Crystal Reports 2003 SP3 runtime (i.e. no Fix Pack), which can be dowloaded from [https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123592010E/cr2008sp3_redist.zip], we would get the correct report selection formula. A side-effect for this incorrect report selection formula is a runtime exception complaining about an errorkind and a boolean being expected. 
    Do you know if there is any workaround that I can apply in code, perhaps a different Fix Pack?  Is there a Fix Pack expected to be released soon?  It is not practical for us to update our reports and use a different style in the record selection formula because we have many such reports, and our customers probably have even more.
    Thank you.
    -Carlos.

    Already a known issue, here's the [KB 1584095 - A boolean NOT is added at the beginning of a record selection formula when the report is loaded by the Crystal Reports .NET SDK |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533383334333033393335%7D.do]

  • Java Plugin Viewer with Crystal Reports 2008

    Hello,
    I am trying to use the Java Plugin Viewer with Crystal Reports, but I have some problems. The ActiveX Viewer works well, but as I want to use the reports in other browsers, I need the Java viewer.
    I have a Visual Basic 6 application, and, instead of including SmartViewerActiveX.asp, I have included JavaPluginViewer.asp. I have taken this file from an older version of Crystal, and I am changing the values on it (I have done the same with the ActiveX Viewer, without problems). This is the main code of the file:
    <OBJECT
        classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93"

        <param name=HasSearchExpert value="false">
        <param name=HasSelectExpert value="false">
        <param name=ShowLogo value="false">
    </OBJECT>
    I know how to change all the values of this object so it works with Crystal2008 except one: the codebase.
    I have gone to IIS, and under the virtual folder "crystalreportviewers12" I don't see any JavaPlugin folder, there's only the JavaViewer folder, and there isn't any .exe inside...
    So, where can I find the .exe for the codebase?
    I have tried searching the web for a tutorial or something, but I haven't seen anything for Crystal 2008.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thank you very much!

    This is so wrong, I don't even know which forum this would belong to ( I think I'll move it to the SAP Crystal Reports, version for Eclipse topic Space...
    Let's start with this:
    I have taken this file from an older version of Crystal,
    Don't mix versions. It will not work. Period
    Next re:
    I don't see any JavaPlugin folder,
    If you want a Java solution, I'd recommend using CR for Eclipse which you can download from here:
    SAP BusinessObjects - SAP Crystal Reports, Version For Eclipse Download
    I would then recommend having a peek here:
    CRJ SDK
    Developer Help File is here:
    https://help.sap.com/javadocs/cr/xi/jrc/en/overview-summary.html
    Finally, I'm not sure what references you are making in your VB 6 app, but there is no SDK in CR 2008 that supports VB 6.

  • Landscape Problems with Crystal Reports 2008 SP3

    My initial install of Crystal Reports 2008 was SP2 (12.2.0.290).  After installing SP3 and Fix Pack 3.3, I started to experience problems with reports in landscape orientation.
    The reports are set up as 11x8.5 in landscape.  They are loaded into a third party application that uses a Crystal Reports reviewer. 
    For some printers, the reports will reset to the 11x17 page size in portrait.  For others the reports stay at 11x8.5 landscape.
    The reports are typically set up with the "No Printer (optimize for screen display)" option active, but I tried a wide range of options including setting the "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" as the reference printer to activating the "Dissociate formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size" option.  None of this helped.
    I backed out FP3.3 and that did not help.  After I backed out SP3, the problem went away.  It seems like something changed in the SP3 release that is causing this issue.
    What's the best way to communicate this to SAP?  I would like to see this fixed in a future patch.

    - Some customers have resolved this by adding C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to their environment path variables. Note the system must be restarted after editing the path variable.
    - This may have something to do with the file libpng10.dll. Both crxf_xls.dll and crxf_rtf.dll are dependent on it.
    - libpng10.dll has changed versions from SP0 to SP1. In SP0 it was 1.0.30.0 and in SP1 it is 1.0.30.1
    libpng10.dll dependencies
    The dependencies have also been updated for libpng10.dll in service pack 1. This may have something to do with the export issue. If you've deployed your application with the latest merge modules or setup package for service pack 1 you'll want to make sure you have version 1.0.30.1 of libpng10.dll.
    Version 1.0.30.0
    - zlib.dll
    - msvcr71.dll
    - kernel32.dll
    Version 1.0.30.1
    - boezlib.dll
    - msvcr80.dll
    - kernel32.dll
    Thanks in advance for your co-operation. We hope to figure out what is causing this issue soon.

    Our company has also been experiencing this issue with deployed versions of our software, and during my examination of the error I have made the following discoveries:
    For us the error has only been reproduced on Windows 2003 running Citrix
    The error does not occur on Windows XP, Windows 2003 or Vista without Citrix
    For installation of our application we use the CRRuntime_12_0.msm merge module (version 12.0.0.683, file size 46790KB)
    As mentioned in the first post this error is related to the files crxf_rtf.dll and cfxf_xls.dll being unable to locate its reference to the file libpng10.dll during load.
    I have run the application with ProcMon (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx) attached on both environments that work correctly and that does not work and iIve made these observations:
    During load of dlls Windows searches for references in the following orders (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586.aspx):
    1. The directory from which the application loaded.
    2. The system directory.
    3. The 16-bit system directory.
    4. The Windows directory.
    5. The current directory.
    6. The directories that are listed in the PATH environment variable.
    Looking at the ProcMon log for the environment where it works correctly (Windows XP, no Citrix) it looks like this . Numbers represent the search order mentioned above:
    Load Image     C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\crxf_rtf.dll     SUCCESS     Image Base: 0x3e640000, Image Size: 0x79000
    (1) QueryOpen     C:\Program Files\<our application name>\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (2) QueryOpen     C:\WINDOWS\system32\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (3) QueryOpen     C:\WINDOWS\system\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND
    (4) QueryOpen     C:\WINDOWS\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (5) QueryOpen     C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\libpng10.dll     SUCCESS      ...
    So you can see it finds the file in the "current directory"
    Now, from the environment where it does not work (Windows 2003 Server / Citrix):
    Load Image     X:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\crxf_rtf.dll     SUCCESS     Image Base: 0x3e640000, Image Size: 0x79000
    (1) QueryOpen     X:\Program Files\<our application name>\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (2) QueryOpen     X:\WINDOWS\system32\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (3) QueryOpen     X:\WINDOWS\system\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (4) QueryOpen     X:\WINDOWS\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (5) QueryOpen     X:\Documents and Settings\<my user name>\WINDOWS\libpng10.dll     NAME NOT FOUND     
    (6) QueryOpen     ... loops trough all paths in the PATH variable, finding nothing
    As you can see somehow the current directory is %USERPROFILE%\WINDOWS and not the Crystal Reports bin path in this environment at the time of loading the dll.
    I have yet to discover why this is the case, but i tought i could share what I have found =)
    The %USERPROFILE%\WINDOWS folder is not a standard Windows folder, and I think it is used by Citrix for some files (like win.ini)
    This also shows why adding the bin folder to the PATH variable is a valid workaround for some, but for us this is not really a good solution as we need this to work out of our installer. We don't always have consultants do the installations for the customers and we cannot expect them to manually edit the PATH variable, and we don't want to add to the PATH variable in the installer unless this is the only way...
    So, I hope this maybe can bring you closer to being able to reproduce it. I'm still looking into it, will post more if I find something else interesting

  • Invalid export DLL or export format when export  with Crystal Reports 2008

    Hi,
         We have an serious issue while exporting the crystal report into excel. We are able to export into all type in our development environment. But when we tried to export from our server all exports working except the excel. However when we restart the IIS the excel export also working for sometimes and again we are facing the same problem.
    Development environment:
    .Net 2008
    Crystal report 2008
    SQL Server 2008
    +Server Environment:+
    IIS7.0 in Classical mode
    Crystal report 2008 runtime without any SP
        We chosen Classical mode to avoid the error 'an error occurred on the server. printing will be stopped' after a successful print. It is an known issue and I'm curious to know is there any fix available to resolve this issue. Because we prefer Integrated mode.
        Earlier we dont face the excel export problem and we encountered after the SP3 installation. So we uninstalled it from server and we just installed only the run-time. But still we are facing the same problem. we could not able to conclude the cause of this issue because classical mode may create this issue?
    This is a very critical issue to us, so if anyone has the solution please help me.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Not clear, did you mean when you install SP 3 it worked?
    Use Process Monitor or Fiddler to see what is failing. With out an error message or any other error from IIS logs or Event Viewer logs anything could be the cause.
    Thank you

  • Print layout different with crystal report 2008 runtime

    Hi,
    I have reports which I print on a pre printed stationary. With Crystal report 11.5 run time it works fine.
    Now I am using Crystal Report 2008 run time and with this I found that layout on the print is different than the actual layout in the design.
    The print with CR 2008 run time is not exactly matching with the pre printed stationary. Whereas it is working fine with the 11.5 run time.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thanks,
