Database Connection error in Crystal Reports using SAP BW system

Hi,
While using Crystal Reports in trying to build a report on the SAP Query in SAP/BW System using the MDX driver, I am able to get the structure of the query fields into the report but on the other hand while trying to refresh the report for data I am getting the error message u201C Failed to connect to the databaseu201D . This database connection error occurs despite the fact that the SAP server authentication details being entered on Refreshing the report is correct.
What could be the possible reason? Any guess...
Thanks,
Amogh

Hi,
Yes, I am using the MDX driver.
Is there any pre-requisites of importing certain ABAP transports into SAP Server since I haven't done any? Please recommend.
Thanks,

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
[http://sapbwd.abc.com:8100/sap/bw/ce_url?(ce_protcl):(DS)(ce_server)/(ce_path_pr)/viewreport.csp(Q)bw_id=4HUPI3I78CG4S4EDH7XSDP736&sap_sysid=(sysid)&sap_client=100&language=EN&sap-client=100]
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.
Thanks in Advance,

Error while 'Crystal Report for Sap Business One' addon started

Hi,
I have try to install Crystal Report for Sap Business One (Addon Versione number 2.0.0.7).
The installatione finish succesfully, but when I started the addOn i retrieve this errore message: External Connection to the dataBase failed. Sap Crystal Addon may not function properly. Please re-run the account setup with superuser login.
I'm logged in Sap with manager (super user), so maybe I have forgot some step in the installation?
I have see the Demo in the Channel Partner Portal, I have note that I have to isntall the CR_Runtime_12_0, but I don't find it, I don't know where I can download this file. I have just installed SapCrystalSetup.exe and registered the Addon like a normal Sap B1 addon.
Where is the error??
Regards
Marco

You must configure in each cliente Pc the connection with the DATABASE.
You must Know the Database Super User (In SQL Server usually sa, and its password, the standard form SAP Business One is SAPB1Admin)
In Administration > Crystal Reports Administration > Account Setup
The CR_Runtime_12_0 is only necesary to view reports, but isn't necesary to start de addon.

Why we need ABAP if we can connect With Crystal Reports to SAP R/3

Hi,
I am new to Crystal reports.I came to know that we can connect SAP R/3 by using SAP InfoSet,SAP Table Cluster and Function connectivity in Crystal Reports.So we can generate reports for SAP R/3 database with out need of ABAP.So why we need to go ABAP module.Is there any disadvantages if we dont use ABAP to generate reports or we can use always Crystal Reports to generate Reports for R/3 database?

Hi,
it is correct that you can built a Crystal Report without the need to use ABAP, but we have lots of customers that have invested over the years into ABAP Routines and Crystal REports is able to leverage those as well. So with Crystal Reports you have the choice to leverage existing ABAP Functions as a source for reporting - which might help to leverage complex processing on the backend - or to use InfoSets and tables.

Connection error with Crystal Report XI, VB6 and Sybase ASE15

Hello !
I have an error #4002 when I want to launch a report in VB6 with the ActiveX Crystal Report Viewer.
I use Sybase ASE 15 with an ODBC link and the reports run stored procedures.
This error seems to be an authentification error, but I don't know what parameters are missing or wrong...
- My reports works well in the report designer.
- The reports connected to a text file or an ADO recordset work in VB6.
- The Verify Database works in design mode in VB6.
- The problem is the same with tables, stored procedures, SQL and with or without parameters...
- I tried to connect the report to a DataEnvironnment but I get the same error.
The problem appears when I use the Crystal Wizard to create a form automatically AND when I create objects directly in code like :
    Dim crapp As CRAXDRT.Application
    Dim oReport As CRAXDRT.Report
    Set crapp = New CRAXDRT.Application
    Set oReport = crapp.OpenReport("C:\myreport.rpt")
    CRViewer.ReportSource = oReport
    CRViewer.viewReport
Please help !

Hello,
I don't see any database logon code in what you posted. You need to log onto the database at runtime since Crystal Reports will never store passwords.
You can download and review the [Connection Properties|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00635998-751e-2b10-9cba-f50ee1e4ef81] document for more information on how to log onto your database at runtime. This document was written for CR9, but it's the same for CR10, CR XI (v11.0), and CR XI R2 (v11.5).
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

Error creating Crystal Report using Stored Proc Universe

Hi,
I have created a stored procedure Universe, using the new feature available in XI R3.
This connects to an Oracle database, executing a PL/SQL procedure returning ref cursor.
I have created a WebI report using this Universe, which works fine and functions as expected.
So there are no problems with either my Oracle stored proc or the Universe.
However, I would like to create a Crystal report (2008) using the same Universe.
I can create the report ok - using the SP Universe.
When I attempt to refresh the data I get an error:
Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Details: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "." when expecting one of the following:

Error With Crystal Reports On Windows Server 2012

Hello,
I have a VB.NET exe application created in Visual Studio 2010 that prints a crystal report directly to the printer. On Windows Server 2008 it worked fine but it does not work on Windows Server 2012. The report was originally created in Crystal Reports 2011. I have read elsewhere that in order to run a Crystal Report on WS 2012 that it needs to be created using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio. So I installed the developer version of Crystal Reports for Visual Studio (v. 13.0.8.1216). I opened the report in Visual Studio and saved it. I then installed the CRRuntime_64bit_13_0_8.msi on the WS 2012. My vb.net exe has the CrystalDecisions assemblies shown below. When I try to run the exe I get the error below. Does anyone have any idea as to what I am doing wrong? Thank you for your input.
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'PrintWorkOrderAndDrawing.PrintWorkOrderAndDrawing' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.En

Hi Thomas
First the info re.;
I have read elsewhere that in order to run a Crystal Report on WS 2012 that it needs to be created using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio.
is incorrect. CRVS will run all reports down to CR 9 without issues. And even reports created in older versions will, for the most part, work just fine.
The error is rather strange as it normally indicates that an incorrect runtime has been installed. However in your case as you are using CR 13.0.8.1216 and the 64bit_13_0_8.msi that does not look to be the case. I would like you to double check the CR references in the project. Say, crystaldecisions.crystalreports.engine. It should be version 13.0.2000.0.
If that is confirmed, then we may be at the permissions mentioned in the error. And I'd use Process Monitor for that. Filter ProcMon for the app exe and run the app. Look at the logs for "Access denied" messages. In the log, look for CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine, see what the exe is doing with it. Where is it trying to load it from? Etc., etc.

Creating BO or Crystal reports using SAP - R3 - Possible?

Hi,
Is it possible to create Business objects or crystal report with just SAP R3 system (without using SAP BW)?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Subbu S

Hi,
In latest release in BOXI3 we have option BO and SAP integration kit.whilt installing you need to install this integration kit i.e. how we are installing Deski and designer.
Once you have install this option we can directly use SAP R3 source and we can gentrate reports and we can use SAP R3 source table in to universe desing and we can design universe. Once universe desing done we can use this universe for report creation.
Thanks

Encapsulation Error in Crystal Reports using Web Service Connection

Hi Experts,
I'd like to request help in investigating an issue we are currently having in Crystal Reports. Basically, the solution design is:
-Web Service is Used as connection
-Dynamic Hyperlink value is used to access another Crystal Report
Issue: Dynamic Hyperlink value is based on a summary. We are getting Encapsulation Error message whenever we try to click a link having 30k value.
Does anyone here can give us some tip on how to investigate the issue? For such cases, which component (datasource, CR, etc.) of the solution normally causes the issue? Are there any limitation in using Web Service for Crystal Reports?
We'd greately appreciate any help here.
Kind Regards and Many Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
There could be many reasons for this rather 'generic' error. Is the Business Objects Enterprise clustered?
Also, could you try saving both the Main and the target reports to the Enterprise with the 'No printer' option checked.
(File > Page Setup> No Printer).
Also, what happens when the target report is viewed on its own?
Let me know how it goes!

Error with Crystal Reports XI R2 installation

I was attempting to get support but no luck with over the phone support so maybe I can find some help here.
"It apparently looks like there is a problem with the Crystal Server Installation itself in your system. The sample files that came with Crystal package itself is not showing up.
See attached screen shot that shows the error when you are trying to run "SimplePreviewReport.asp" from IIS."
Screenshot shows the web page will not open from http:
localhost\CIReports\SimplePreviewReport.asp

Hi Todd
Can I assume that the product itself was installed correctly and you are having trouble running one of the SDK samples? Which product have you installed.... Crystal Reports or Crystal Reports Server? The sample page you are using indicates that you might be using the Report Design Component.... you will know this if you see the CrystalRuntime.Application object in your code.
Your post indicates that you have installed Crystal Reports Server...... If this is the case, and you want to use the RDC, then you will also need to install Crystal Reports on the server as well, since the RDC get's its runtime from Crystal Reports.

Unable to Access BI InfoSet in Crystal Reports using SAP Info sets driver

Hi,
I am looking to develop a report on top of BI InfoSet in Crystal Reports. However using the the SAP InfoSets driver I am only able to visualize 'Classic InfoSet' and 'SAP Query'. It does not show the option to import the regular InfoSet as a datasource. I am unable to access the InfoSet built by the db join on InfoCubes that is available in SAP BW System.
Can anybody help.
Thanks,
Amogh

Hi all,

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]
