GL Reporting off E-business

Hi there
Am after a bit of help regarding getting GL information off E-business.
Does anyone know of some tools that could perform some ad-hoc querying off E-business that a non-technical user in Finance could use easily?
Thanks

The two most well-known are probably OBIEE and Noetix - these provide pre-packaged "intelligence" that hides the table complexity from end users.
MOS Doc 473413.1 - Oracle BI Apps 7.9.4 with Oracle EBS R12 Certification and OBI EE 10.1.3.3.2 with Essbase Integration
http://www.noetix.com
Both of these will require substantial investment in hardware/software and training end-users

Issue running a report from SAP Business One

I have an issue running a particular report from SAP Business One. I am using Crystal Reports Add-On, all of the reports are working fine except one. When accessing the last page of the report or any page from inside the report the followiong error appears in the dialog box:
Error in the File CollectionDate_Branch_wise {609BA059-89AF-41E9-9AEB-28CB16D13852}.rpt:
The request could not be submitted for background processing.

Hi,
Do you mean you have a Main report that is written based on SQL Command and there are 8 subreports linked to the main report?
If that is the case, I assume when user select 'Document Type" eg invoice, it will pass that to the subreport and retrieve information?
This is how I will approach it.
1. Make sure the connection is consistent, if you are using ODBC(RDO) then make sure that is the same for main and subreport. You can check that in Set database connection. Right click on the connection, look at the Properties. Don't assume that the name is the same, eg: SBO_DemoUS, they are all ODBC(RDO) for instannce.
In Crystal, when you are using different connection, it will just prompts you a warning message and it will still run.
2. Delete all and only keep one subreport, example AR invoice and see it will still give a problem.
Replace the parameter with a set value in Record selection in subreport and see what happen.

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.

Problem while importing a Crystal Report in SAP Business One

Hi Experts,

Hi Rhaul,
i don't exactly know why this is a problem, but if your not on latest (881 p10) then upgrade and try again.
Or as a workaround,
try saveing from CR to SAP with the CR add-on. That usualy works better then the import.

Crystal Reports-Universe and Business Views. Pros & cons. BVs to Universe

Hi Gurus,
We have around 500 + Crystal Reports developed on top of Business Views, Stored Procedures, Command Objects and some directly connected to the tables. No Universes are there in our current environment and all reports undergo frequent changes.
We are planning to replace Business Views with Universe and use them as data provider for existing Crystal Reports and also planning to do some ad-hoc reporting using Web-Intelligence. I have expertise in developing both Crystal Reports and Web Intelligence reports. But I never designed any complex Crystal Reports against Universe / Business Views. I heard that there are several issues with Crystal against Universe (e.g.: Cascading Prompts, LOVs, Row Level Security etc...) Most of our Crystal Reports have several sub-reports and some dynamic cascading parameters.
We currently have not finalized any tool. Some are advising not to disturb the current environment and some say migrating to Universe is a good option because Business View manager tool is going to be trashed in few years. My personal view is to used both Crystal and Web-I and replace Business Views with Universe because we can use it for both Crystal and Web-I.
Can you please post your views on this?
Also, please post the issues (& solutions) you got with Crystal Reports against Universe. Also advantages and disadvantages of using Universe over Business Views.
Environment: Business Objects XI R2 and Crystal Reports XI R2
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
Shamanth.

Hello,
you can find an article about Crystal Reports on Universe here:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/20984c2b-17f1-2b10-1091-d18977f7cd8f
As you said, an important item to consider is reusability: if you want to reuse your work between Crystal and WebI then you have to go with Universes. If you are ok in keeping the two in separate worlds then Business Views can still bring a lot of value to CR. Business views will stay in the market still for a long time (in mainteinance, so don't expect new features).
Looking at the future, we expect that In the long term, business views will be replaced by universes. Keeping this in mind, a migration of a report from an 'older' version of a universe to a new one will probably go smoother than a migration from a business view to a universe.
Hope that it helps

Vendor evalution report in SAP BUSINESS ONE

We require Vendor Evalution report in SAP BUSINESS ONE which has information about receipt(GRPO) perfomance against purchase order issued. We require item code, item description, p.o.no., p.o.qty, delivery date, GRPO NO., GRPO Date, GRPO QTY, Delay no. of days. If there is any report in SAP please inform us. Otherwise any query we can make please inform us how to make query in SAP business one.

Hi,
The query from the thread is modified as below to include the customer/vendor name :
SELECT T3.cardcode, T0.ItemCode, SUM(T0.Quantity) 'PO Qty',SUM(T1.Quantity) 'GRPO Qty', SUM(T2.Quantity) 'Return Qty'
FROM dbo.POR1 T0
LEFT JOIN dbo.PDN1 T1
ON T0.DocEntry = T1.BaseEntry AND T0.LineNum = T1.BaseLine
LEFT JOIN dbo.RPD1 T2
ON T1.DocEntry = T2.BaseEntry AND T1.LineNum = T2.BaseLine
INNER JOIN dbo.OPDN T3
ON T1.DocEntry = T3.docentry
WHERE T0.ItemCode is not NULL AND T0.DocDate >= [%0] AND T0.DocDate <= [%1]
GROUP BY T3.cardcode, T0.ItemCode
Check if this helps.
Please make sure you have a look on the Query Generator and the related books on the SQL query writing before you start creating your own.

Looking for a tool to search text fields in about 1000 reports installed on Business Objects Xi R3

Hi,
i am looking for a tool, program that can search all our reports installed on Business Objects Xi R3 for specific content in text fields and formulas.
We used a couple of years ago .rpt inspector, that worked pretty well for our purpose.
Unfortunately this is Win XP & Win Server 2003 only, so we can't reuse it anymore.
(I know there are way of getting WinXP that in a VMware, but that is not an option in our company.)
So i am interested , if there is another tool out there, which can help us?
regards Alex
btw we are using Business Objects XI R3 (SP7) with reports deisgned on crystal reports designer 2008

Reporting off oracle stored procedure with parameters error

Erorr message: Error in File xxx.rpt: Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 907 ]
Asp.net 2.0 web application.
CR XI R2 sp2 in BOE XI R2 sp2 on Solaris 10.
Database: Oracle 10g on Solaris 10. Oracle stored procedure defined in package.
Happens with reports reporting off stored procedure with parameters.
The sp is used in the crystal report.
The web application passes parameters to crystal report, which then passes the parameters to stored procedure.
Encountered error if:
r.PromptOnDemandViewing = false;
r.UseOriginalDataSource = false;
r.CustomServerType = CeReportServerType.ceServerTypeOracle;
Report can retrieves data if:
r.PromptOnDemandViewing = false;
r.UseOriginalDataSource = true;
r.CustomServerType = CeReportServerType.ceServerTypeOracle;
In addition
The steps are:
1)     Create oracle package and stored proc.
2)     In CR Designer, select the stored proc as datasource.
3)     The parameters names were "generated" by the CR Designer.
4)     Rename the parameter names.
5)     Drag the fields onto report.
We noticed the following with different setting of database logon info:
When previewing from BOE, get error when "Use custom database logon information specified here"
However, no error when "Use original database logon information from the report".
Am i missing something?

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Data Connectivity - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

Crystal Reports published on Business Objects Enterprise Server

Hi all,
I am having a few difficulties after i save my crystal report to the Business Objects Enterprise Server XI 3.1.
1) for the reports with static parameters the "Crystal Reports Print Control" doesbnot work. It gets stuck and i guess cannot load the print function. Don't know what exactly causes it but i made two similar one field reports and saved them to the server. One with a dynamic parameter and the other with a static parameter.
The report with static parameter could not be printed.
This happens when i use the HTML viewer for crystal reports. I cannot use the activeX or Java viewers as they mess up the formatting of my Arabic reports.
2) For some reports i get one type of parameter screen (like we get while running through the designer) while for other reports i get a different type of Parameter Entry Screen. Sometimes when i view the report first time i get the former type of parameter screen and when i refresh the report i get the later screen.
3) Also my dynamic parameters are not showing all the values when the reports are saved to the above mentioned server. On my desktop i made the LOV registry tweak and it works fine. I did the same tweak on server registry but it is not working.
Thanks a lot even if u read it

Show reports based on business unit in crm 2013

Hi,
I have two reports Partner Report and Manager Report. I have created two business unit Partner and Manager. I want to show Partner report to Partner Business unit as like Manager report show only Manager Business unit. Please tell me how is it possible?

Hi,
Assign business unit level read access to your entity for which you have written the Report.
Assign the respective business unit to the user, in your case assign business unit Partner to user Partner
and business unit Manager to user Manager
Also use filtered view in your report if it is SSRS report.

Converting crystal reports 10 to Business Objects XI reports

Hi All I am very new to Business Objects XI R2, I have two doubts if any one knows please give reply to me so that it will be helpful for me.First is :Now I am working for a project called Converting Reports which was created by Crystal Reports 10 TO Business Objects XI reports.Is there any specific way for converting .rpt(Crystal Reports) to .rep (Business Objects) or I have to recreate in Business Objects XI. and Second is: Is it possible, Scheduling BO XI report in java based interface, I heard that it is possible but I don't know how?Please give me, How it is possible? Waiting for replyThanks in Advance 

you will need access to the CMS DB and FRS from CE10 in order to migrate to XI 3.x, typically this is accomplished via network. If you can restore them to the same computer a side by side (install CE10 and XI 3.x on the same server) may work as well.

Was told not to report off transaction planning cubes

Hello there,
we recently implemented Hyperion Planning and have 3 Essbase cubes: Planning, Capex, and workforce. We want to hook OBIEE up to the cubes for reporting. We have been told it is not best practice to report off the same cubes we're transacting in. How should we go about building reporting cubes? Is it as simple as "backing up" or copying our transactional cubes?

It is always better to restrict the planning application for the planning operations and providing the reqd reporting applications for the reporting purposes.
This will avoid the unnecessary conflict b/w the planning and reporting cycles.
In the planning 11.1.1.2 there is inbuilt feature of mapping the planning cubes for the reporting application(ASO applications).
Under covers it works like this
It extract the required set of data from the planning cube by genaratiing and executing calc script into a text file.
After that it will format the data file to map the reporting cube and dimensionality and load into the reporting cube.
Insteade of using this in built feature we can provide the better automated customi interface for our application with three regularly used components
1. data export calc script
2. Rule file to map the exported file with the reporting cube.
3. MaxL file.
If you are using the same dimension structure for the reporting cube as of planning cube except hsp_rates and currency dimensions.
You can try this as well.
1. creating bso-aso replicated partition(suppoerted in essbase 11)
2. replicate data
3. drop replicate data
