EXCEL - SAP integration ... which way forward?

Hi folks,
A customer (having a SAP 4.6D system) would like to have an EXCEL sheet being populated with SAP data with some additional formatting (headers, subheading, totals, colouring cells based on certain values; etc ...) within the EXCEL sheet ...
Out of my head I could think of some possibities here:
- ALV view of table with download (but no extra formatting options here ... )
- ABAP OLE commands (not sure this is still being used)
- EXCEL integration via BDS ( I remember that you can have a both way integration here but how far does it go?)
- RFC communication to for example .NET RFC server via .NET connector ..
Anyone having any experience in this? What are the pro's and cons of any of the possibilies? Anyone any suggestion on what is the best way forward?
My customer is looking for a 'cheap' fast solution and is not willing to spend more then 2-3 days on it ...
Thx,
Steven

Hello Steven
I prefere ALV Grid in combination with ALV templates stored in SAP (avaliable from 46c).
I don't know all the methods from the other replys, but my experience is that OLE and use of excel macros with VBA script is a bad idea. Some years ago i made an interface like that based on (as far as i remember) excel 95 and R/3 31i. After upgrade to R/3 46c I had to change the ABAP program to make it work again. Two month later we changed to office 2000 and after that the macros didn't work anymore - I never fixed it - I changed to ALV grid.
With the combination of ALV grid and excel templates you solve the problems with the tools that is best. You use ABAP to extract the data and you use excel for the formatting.
I a privieus posting I listede som hints about this technique. I don't know how to link to an other posting, so I just cut/paste:
1) An ABAP program extracts data from the database and presents the data with Excel Inplace.
2) Instead of the SAP standard templates SAP_OM.XLS and SAP_MM.XLS the program uses a customised excel template created by the "business people" themselves. (Now they can't blame you for the layout).
Where to find more info:
Oss note 358644 and 548409
You will have to build your own templates by creating modified copies of the SAP standard templates SAP_OM.XLS and SAP_MM.XLS. If you can find these see note 316728 to copy them from client 000.
You will have to work with transaction OAOR to administrate the templates and program BC_BDS_UPLOAD to upload new templates.
You will also find information in the ALV grid documentation on help.sap.com.

OSB and SAP integration using XML web services

Hi Team,
We are designing solution for asynchronous and synchronous scenarios integration between OSB and SAP using web services.
Can you please provide some pointers which tells about how OSB and SAP integration works.
For an example:
If we are designing the above scenario between SAP PI and SAP ECC, we know the below communication protocols are avilable:
1.Proxy
2.RFC
3.IDOCs
And also we know how adapters will get connect.
Now ODB wants to connect to SAP to send and receive data. Please help me with information like:
1. Is Proxy, RFC or IDOCs are applicable for OSB as well?
2. How webservice scenarios can be implemented?
Thanks in Advance.
regards,
Vicky

Hi,
>>>and what are the Forms ? for SAP Business Connector Related Postings ??
try WM (webmethods forums) or here since this is the only middleware related forum on SDN
>>> I have a requirement to integrate sap to non-sap with Business Connector !!
excellent
>>>We need to Generate the SAP Data In xml Format ? and the Non-sap System can Understand Only XML Formated data.
fairly easy
>>>>Is there any way Business Connector Box can Pull the XML file from R/3 Application Server and store the file in the Business Connector Server. from that How do we Sent XML file to Non-sap. How do we Integrate ??
business connector has both IDOC and RFC adapters so it can
receive data from SAP (IDOC, RFC), send data to SAP (IDOC, RFC)
and pull data from SAP (RFC only)
>>>>what transaction code will trigger this event ? I mean is ther any SAP Transaction Code to Integrate Business Connector?
either transaction from SAP (for sending IDOCs for example) or you can schedule (via BC scheduler)
an RFC call to SAP that will fetch the data and put it in an XML file
good luck,

Is Creator + JSF the way forward ?

Hi
First post to forum ...
Is Creator + JSF the way forward, or would you use some else for a new project ?
I have developed a number of small sized web apps. Typically < 20 jsps + supporting classes for db access, all using a simple hard coded MVC servlet scheme.
However I have become accutely aware that while this is fine for small stuff, it does not provide any short cuts for saving development time and probably does not scale all that well either.
Hence I am looking for a single technology to speed up design/coding, and I want to move up a level in terms of professional best practice for java web app development.
Two attractive technologies appear to be Struts and JSF. My current preference is for JSF over Struts, almost entirely because Creator "looks" like such a good IDE for rapid devel. Is this a good enough reason for going with JSF, or should I look again at Struts or another IDE.
Also I have noticed that Creator on my win pc is "dog slow" no doubt it needs more memory. But this sort of issue concerns me because I am left wondering what other problems I will run into only after I have spent valuable time on the project. Will I be left thinking that choosing JSF because of Creator was a not such a good idea.
Finally my next app will a web based custom cms system. I would very much appreciate all of your thoughts based on past experiences on which way I should go for time saving java web app devel. JSF, Struts, Creator, JDev...
Many thanks
Paul

I share your concerns. I'm also new at enterprise java development. I've found, however, that Creator has been an excellent tool for cutting my learning curve in half. It helped me to better understand the relationships between the various java components.
Having said that, however, I (and others I know) have experienced the frustration with the slow responses and code generation. I presume this is because the IDE may also be written in Java rather than C. It does NOT affect its run time environment when your application is deployed, however. Your application will run great when deployed to a "real" server.
My only other problem has to do with the jdbc drivers. Some if not all of Creators databinding relies on jdbc method calls. Where I work we use a Sybase database and while Sun and BEA have perfectly fine Sybase jdbc drivers, the folks I work for insist that we use Jconnect and the jdbc Sybase provides. This jdbc is lacking in a number of methods and, when forced to use it, ALL your databinding goes out the window. This means I have to spend just as much time, if not more, writing my own code to populate the Creator objects (specifically table objects) or learning and implementing more tools like Hibernate or whatever. I'm trying to make my life SIMPLER, y'knowwhatamean?
So while the tool is great, well integrated, well thought out, etc., be carefull of your actual deployment environment.

Hi Peddi,
I gave TRUNC to both of the dates. But still the same issue. I think the problem is in returning the BolbDomain.
return blobDomain;
} catch (XDOException xdoe) {
System.out.println("Exception in XDO :");
throw new OAException("Exception in XDO : "+xdoe.getMessage());
catch (SQLException sqle) {
System.out.println("Exception in SQL :");
throw new OAException("SQL Exception : "+sqle.getMessage());
catch (OAException e) {
System.out.println("Exception in OA :");
throw new OAException("Unexpected Error :: " +e.getMessage());
Thanks and Regards,

SAP Integration kit for BO XIR2 with Crystal XI for BI 7.0 Front end

Hello Team,
We are in a little fix.
We have BOE XIR2, Crystal XI and working with old version of BI front-end 3.5.
We are upgrading to BI 7.0 frontend, but I am not able to trace out the SAP Integration kit for combination of BOE XIR2, Crystal XI and BI7.0.
Is such a thing available, If yes can someone send a link to that.
Regards
Lalan Kanade

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply
I could trace this document. "BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 SP3 for Windows"
I checked in "Supported Data Sources for Crystal Rep" section, extract below
SAP BW Server 3.0b SAP GUI 620 or 640
SAP BW Server 3.1c SAP GUI 620 or 640
SAP BW Server 3.5 SAP GUI 640.
But we are using BW Server 7.0 with GUI 7.1 and that working fine even with BOXIR2 and Crystal XI with Old Front End for BI 3.X.
But when we are testing with BOXIR2 and Crystal XI with BI New Front End 7.0 its missing components from the query output.
So the SAP Integration kIt seems old & we need a new Kit which would work with BI New Front End 7.0.
Any suggestions on that
Regards
Lalan

Crystal Developer XI without Sap integration kits cant see released Queries

Hi All!
When I'm used MS Excel, I can see released SAP BW Queries via SAP OLE DB access. But when I'm used Crystal Developer XI (without Sap integration kits), I cant see released SAP BW Queries via SAP OLE DB access.
What's a problem here?
WBR Artem

Hi,
you missing the SAP integration Kit. To conenct to SAP BW you need the SAP Integration Kit installed.

Default language settings in SAP Integration Kit?

Hi everybody,
I've the following problem:
If I create a report with the SAP Integration Kit (create new report from a query) I get a prompt where I can type in (System Number, User, Password and LANGUAGE). If I now choose as language u201CEnglishu201D and create a report, save it and open it in crystal again, everything is still fine. But if I go to refresh the report, I get a prompt where I can choose the SAP BW and type in the System Number, User and Password but not the LANGUAGE. After the refresh the names of the fields are still in English but the data is now in German (or just the technical names, depends on the language settings in the query).
For me it looks like that the language settings of the refresh are by default in crystal is set to German, but the software is English. I didnu2019t find any way to change the default language to English or save it in the report.
I already tried to change the language/regional/keyboard settings of my machine and also tried to change the language in the crystal formula field u201Clanguagecode%u201D.
But even if I could have a unique change in some system settings, it really will not help me, because I have some queries in German and some in English, depending on the actual BW system.
If the SAP Integration Kit gives me the possibility to choose the language during the creation of the report it should then remember the choice!?
Thank you for your help

How to import the transports from the SAP Integration Kit into SAP system

Hi expert,
I read the forum "Re: Integration with SAP R/3 to realise i have not done the import of transport but i don't quite understand the statement give by "Sebastian Li".
"Unpack the SAP Integration Kit zip-file. It contains a transport-folder. Here you'll find a short manual which files you should import.
Copy the needed files on your sap-system in the correct folders:
- usr\sap\trans\cofiles
- usr\sap\trans\data
Use the transaction STMS.
Also take care of the sequence of importing. See the manual for details."
Can some one explain it in more details to me. I have unzip the SAP Integration Kit n in the transport folder got 2 more folder "ansi" and "unicode_compatible". How do i know which 1 to use? Where i should copy this files to?
Please advice.
thank you

HI,
I would suggest you open this in the WEb Intelligence forum unless this only happens with SAP based reports.

Crystal Report XI R2 compatablity with SAP Integration kit

Hi All,
we have suggested to one of our customer the Customized pack of BO XI Edge series which include the licensing of Xcelsius , WEBI , Universe designer, SAP Integration kit and Live office...
He dont want to pay extra for taking the license for cryatal report 2008 as they already using the Crystal Report XI R2 version which they use to do reporting on non SAP data.
My question is :
1 - Now they want to do reporting ove SAP data using the existing CR solution they have is it possible ??
2- Will the integration kit support the CR XI R2 version ??
3- Can he publish the Crystal Report created by CR XI R2 to the Business Object Edge Series plateform ??
They just want to use CR to do reporting on data from R/3 side .
Kindly suggest.
Regards,
Mishra,Vibhav.

Dear Ingo,
Thanks for the reply.
Actally we have suggested to our client the latest Edge Series Standard pack solution , excluding the crystal report licensing.
My question is will the integration kit which comes along with the Edge series will support the existing Crystal Report XI R2 and can the it be integrated with BOE(can he publish the reports created with the earlier version to the Business Object plateform).
If the above sceanario is not possibe then we have to purchse the older version of integartion and i doubt if we can purchse it stand alone in that case we would be having two integration kits running to solve the purpose.
Kindly suggest.
Warm regards,
Mishra Vibhav

SAP Integration Kit installation - BW Publisher parameters

Hi,
We are working on an BO GRC RM 3.0 scenario (Windows/SQL Server). As per architecture requirements we are currently installing BOBJ Integration Kit for SAP. However the following doubt comes up. As per architecture requirement also, and as it was defined for our scenario there is no need for an BI system (AS JAVA was installed only as EP usage type) if the reporting is going to be used with BOE Crystal. What we need there, is to install and BOBJ SAP Integration kit on BOE XI 3.1 server and to import Crystal transport files in AS ABAP (SAP_ABA, SAP_BASIS, PI_BASIS, SAP_BW).
During the Integration Kit installation process we are being prompted for BW Publisher parameters where an RFc to a BW system is required. As mentioned earlier, we donu2019t have an BW system since BOE Crystal will be used instead of WebDynpro ABAP ListViewer...Are we using the incorrect Integration Kit? Should I install BI_Content Add-on installed on AS ABAP even when reporting is going to be used with Crystal Report?
Hoping being clear enough, please let me know if I can proceed with Integration kit installation in this way or should I have some other precautions for this particular solution implementation.
Thanks and best regards.

Hi,
in case you do not have SAP BW as part of the landscape then there is no need to install the publishing component

XI 3.1 SAP integration with AIX platform

Hello - We have installed BO XI 3.1 Enterprise and SAP AIX integration kit on AIX 5.3 server. Then installed the XI 3.1 client tools on a windows desktop computer and were unable to connect universes to SAP BW 3.5.
We then installed the following ( https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/business-objects-for-sap?rid=/webcontent/uuid/806c9894-42a5-2b10-648a-d900489b76da [original link is broken] ) 'BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP 90 day Evaluation' which appears to be for BO XI 3 but now we are able to connect universes to SAP BW 3.5.
Is it correct that the SAP integration kit needs be installed on both AIX server and on any windows PCs that will use the XI 3.1 client tools in order to connect universes to BW 3.5?
Is there another version of the SAP integration kit for windows client PCs that are using XI 3.1?
Thanks,
Derek

I understand that the AIX server components come from 'BOBJ INTEGRATION FOR SAP SOLUTIONS XI 3.1 AIX'; but where do we get the windows PC client components of SAP integration kit for XI 3.1?
I am confused because the Business Objects download section (SAP BusinessObjects packages and products>> BOBJ INTGR.FOR SAP>>BOBJ INTGR. FOR SAP XI 3.1) does not mention any download for client components for windows PCs and I do not see the client components included in the 'BOBJ INTEGRATION FOR SAP SOLUTIONS XI 3.1 AIX'.
Please advise which file should be downloaded for the client SAP integration for XI 3.1.
Thanks,
Derek

SAP Integration Issues

Hi,
I have installed Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP5 and SAP Integration Kit XI 3.1 SP5 (server install) on a Windows Server 2003 server for a customer. Both installations completed successfully. I've also installed Crystal Reports 2008 and the Integration Kit (client install) on a client, both completed successfully. However, I have not done anything with transport files or SAP authentication, but read on...
This customer has some existing Crystal Reports (XI R2) that they use to report on data in SAP ERP.
If I open the report in Crystal Reports on the client, it refreshes successfully against the data source.
If I add the report to Business Objects Enterprise and try and refresh or schedule the report, it fails after a period of time with the following error:
"request could not be completed because a failure occurred while the report was being processed. Please contact your system administrator. [RCIRAS0546] "
It seems that there are lots of things that the SAP Integration Kit can do, that this customer don't require. For example:
- They don't need to log in with their SAP credentials, they've only got 8 users and can use Enterprise authentication
- They only want to use this to refresh and schedule Crystal Reports against ERP, they don't need to use BW
In the installation phase of SAP Integration Kit on the server, I just put "unknown" in the "BW Publisher Parameters", as I read somewhere that it didn't matter what was typed in there as it could be configured afterwards in the registry, and in any case, I don't believe I need this configured. Is this correct?
What purpose do the transport files serve; and given that I can refresh a Crystal Report successfully on the client, why would I need to do anything with those in order for reports to refresh successfully on the server?
As you can tell, whilst I am very experienced at installing Business Objects Enterprise, this is my first time working with the SAP Integration Kit, or SAP data sources, and I was unexpectedly thrown into this situation. So if anyone has any suggestions, I would be very grateful!
Regards
Darren Smith

Hi Darren,
If you have any questions regarding Integration Kit ,please post under the category SAP Integration Kit.
If you are using Crystal Reports as client you need only the following components of Integration Kit to be installed
Data access components for SAP R/3
Data access components for SAP BW
SAP authentication
SAP BW toolbar.
When you publish the crystal reports into Enterprise you would be needing the server to have integration kit in order to make it run from the server .
For the Data access components of crystal reports for IK the following Enetrprise services
are used Crystal reports page server
Crystal reports Application Server
Crystal report Job server
BW Publisher Service enables you to add content to your SAP and
BusinessObjects Enterprise repositories simultaneously.
You need to configure the SAP Gateway to configure for BW publisher.
You can deselect BW publisherthrough Custom install of SAP IK and proceed with the installation
BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP includes nine transports: the Open
SQL Connectivity transport, the InfoSet Connectivity transport, the Row-level
Security Definition transport, the Cluster Definition transport, the
Authentication Helpers transport, the Content Administration Workbench,
the BW Query parameter personalization transport, the MDX transport, and
the ODS transport
The Open SQL Connectivity transport enables the drivers to connect to and
report off the SAP system.
The InfoSet Connectivity transport enables the InfoSet driver to access
InfoSets. This transport is compatible with R/3 4.6c and later. Do not import
this transport if you are running R/3 4.6a or earlier
Row-level Security Definition transport
This transport provides the Security Definition Editor, which is a tool that
serves as a graphical interface to the /CRYSTAL/AUTH tables in the Open
SQL Connectivity transport
Cluster Definition transport
This transport provides the Cluster Definition tool. This tool enables you to
build up a metadata repository for ABAP data cluster definitions. These
definitions provide the Open SQL driver with the information it requires in
order to report off these data clusters.
Authentication Helpers transport
Note:
For NetWeaver 7.0.2 or higher, this transport will be provided as part of
NetWeaver.
This transport provides access to the higher performance user list used by
the SAP SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise security plug-in. This enhancement
frees users from having to enter their credentials more than once to access
any of the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise, R3, and BW systems.
Content Administration Workbench
Note:
For NetWeaver 7.0.2 or higher, this transport will be provided as part of
NetWeaver.
This transport provides content administration functionality for BW systems.
It is available only as a Unicode compatible transport
ODS connectivity transport
This transport enables the ODS Query driver to access ODS data. This
transport is compatible with BW 3.0B patch 27 or higher and BW 3.1C patch
21 or higher.
BW Query parameter personalization transport
Note:
For NetWeaver 7.0.2 or higher, this transport will be provided as part of
NetWeaver.
This transport provides support for personalized and default parameter values
in reports based on BW queries
BW MDX connectivity transport
Note:
For NetWeaver 7.0.2 or higher, this transport will be provided as part of
NetWeaver.
This transport enables the MDX Query driver to access BW cubes and
queries. This transport is compatible with BW 3.0B patch 27 or higher and
BW 3.1C patch 21 or higher.
Please note SAP GUI 7.10 is not supported anymore ,I think you would not find it for download in the SAP site ,SAP GUI 7.20 is supported.
Please post under SAP integration kit for further assistance.

Error using CR 11.5 with dynamic cascading prompts and SAP Integr.Kit XI R2

Hi,
we are using the SAP Integration Kit XI R2 (patched up to FP4.3) in order to report SAP BW data (BW 3.5) in Crystal Reports 11.5 (SP 4). In order to access the stored BEx Queries we use either the SAP BW Query or the SAP BW MDX Query Driver (_we DO NOT use any universes_). Everything seems to work fine ex cept when we want to use dynamic cascading LOVs within CR. For example when a user runs a report she/he should select first a customer group (0CUST_GROUP prompt) and then the customer (0DEBITOR). Defining the cascading prompts with dynamic LOVs is no problem in CR and when the report runs (either in CR Designer or in InfoView) both prompts appear. Still when we do a selection for the first prompt (0CUST_GROUP) we get a 0x8004380D error with the text message stating that the system is not able to retrieve the LOV data (I guess for the 0DEBITOR prompt). Please note that we do not get a corba error and no firewalls are activated. We checked the trace files of the page server and found out that there was an error calling the createRowsetCursor function within enginekernel.cpp.
Any hints on our case will be mostly appreciated. We have the feeling that we are hitting a bug here but maybe we are overseeing something.
Cheers
Stratos
PS: Please note that if we access directly the ODS Object (SAP ODS driver) the dynamic cascading prompts on exactly the same InfoObject (or better their keys in the ODS) work without a problem.

Hi Stratos
You can define LOV's in universes but unfortunately you can not use universes based on SAP in Crystal Reports.
You can define parameters in the Bex query which are passed on to Crystal Reports, so you don't need to define them in the Business Objects tools. Please have a look at the SAP Integration Kit user's guide
