How do we embed Crystal Reports in the Business suite?

Hi all,
Actually the question is:
With the new embedded Analytics, is it supposed to allow us to embedded other CRs into teh ERP System or is it not supposed to be part of the integration (and then we need to use the opendocument feature)?
I can see that we have business content created with CR and XC in the business suite now, but not sure if we have developed a mechanism to call other Reports from the BI platform (BOE).
Thanks all in advance,
Antonio

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for the quick reply, I knew about the Opendocument functionality, is there anything else that integrates CRs into the ERP systems natively and that is related to the embedded analytics?
Thanks in advance,
antonio

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

I need to create a dashboard. How do you bring Crystal Reports into Excel?

Hello,
I need to create a dashboard. My boss wants a spreadsheet to show multiple reports and charts about the business. I know you can insert multiple charts in Excel. However, I need to be able to insert a report next to one of the charts.
I am thinking of using the RDC and bring in a Crystal Report. The problem is that I see with Crystal Reports 2008, you can't use RDC.
Is there an upgrade to RDC? How do I bring the Crystal Report into Excel next to the imbeddged charts. I know I can export a Crystal Report to Excel. But that Exports to a entire spreadsheet. I just want to embed a Crystal Report into Excel. The last time I did a project like this, I used to use the RDC with the same code as in VB6. Worked great.
How do you embed a Crystal Reports now?
Thanks.

The question was how do you do it?
I don't have .NET. However, if that is the only way, then I can buy .NET.
I just need someone that knows how to do it to point me in the right direction. To embed something in Excel, I hadn't thought of using .NET.

How to Call a Crystal Report from Form 6i?

Dear All,
Can anybody tell me how to call a crystal report, designed using Crystal Report 9, in form 6i? I tried one solution by using the host command but it was not working properly. The code I was tried is like:
     f_name varchar2(240);
     f_name :='C:\Program Files\Crystal Decisions\Crystal Reports 9\crw32.exe D:\Form16\Form16_Rep\bin\Debug\Form_16_character_emp.rpt';
               host(f_name);
This open the crystal report in design view. So how we call a report which run automatically like in .Net. How to pass the connection info of the database schema?
Thanks & Regards
Sunil

Hi
First see the built in run_product function.
You can create a parameter list, add the
"MAXIMIZE" paramter in it and then call your
report with run_product passing your parameter list in it.
hence the called report will be maximized.

How to get a Crystal report as an iview in Portal

Hi,
Please let me know how to get a crystal report to Portal.
Regards,
Pradeep

Hi,
I used URL iview option to get the crystal report in portal and am able to view it. Thank you all for your inputs.
But as of now SSO is not configured between BOE and BI system, so when i click on URL iview initially it asks me for credentials to BOE InfoView and after entering that it again asks for BI login as the data has to be picked from BI server.
We are going to configure SSO mean while i just want to know whether it is possible to pass the id and passw as parameters to this url iview, if so what are the parameter id's i need to maintain to pass id and passw.
Let me know on this.
Regards,
Pradeep

How to publish a Crystal Report in Business One

Hi
Please can anyone tell me how I publish a Crystal report (which is now inbuilt in SAP B1) so it is available to all users? I have full administrator/manager user rights. I have so far created the report and saved it to my SAP server machine on it's C:drive.
Thank you very much for any help and info.
Matt

Hi, I worked out how to do it. I had to first enable the Crystal Add on from within SAP and then open the Crystal Reports Administration menu under Administration and then select "Manage Crystal Reports". From there you can browse to the report you have created and select the module for where you want it to appear under in SAP.

How to do Scheduling Crystal Reports?

Hi All,
I request any one of you, to let me know how to schedule Crystal Reports. I am unable to find any option in Crystal Report Designer.
Please list if any step by step procedure on scheduling crystal reports(lets say hourly, or weekly and save the crystal report with data).
And also any idea on how to maintain crystal reports instances?
Thanks in advance !

There are actually a dozen or so tools out there that can schedule Crystal Reports. The two mentioned here are SAP products. For a complete list of third-party scheduling products (ranging from free to several thousand dollars) you can go here:
http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html
There are even a few more at the high end that will be added to that page in the next month or so. I am currently working on a feature comparison for scheduling engines for my March newsletter.

Calling a Crystal Report using the ReportViewerBean

Hello...I am writing a java application to display a Seagate Crystal report using the ReportViewerBean.
The problem I am having is trying to display the report within the viewer.
The following is a sample from my code where I create an instance of the viewer bean.
ReportViewerBean rvb = new ReportViewerBean();
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setSize(1000,1000);
frame.getContentPane().add(rvb,BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.show();
rvb.start();
try
String strUrl = "http://localhost:8080/Report1.rpt";
rvb.setReportName(strUrl);
catch(java.beans.PropertyVetoException pve)
System.err.println("Property change vetod");
The Sys-out from the Report Viewer bean is "No reponse from server".
The sysout from my server (Tomcat 3.2.3) is:
2001-09-06 09:08:53 - Ctx( /Report1.rpt ): FileHandler: Ends with \/. D:\jakarta
-tomcat-3.2.3\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3\webapps\Report1.rpt\

2001-09-06 09:08:53 - Ctx( /Report1.rpt ): 404 R( /Report1.rpt + + null) null
Any suggestion/help would be greatly appreciated...TY

Publish Crystal Reports to the web

I have to see about using Microsoft Services to publish Crystal Reports to the web.One method would be to use Visual Studio.
What are the ways in which to publish Crystal Reports to the web, besides this Visual Studio?

You can use Crystal Reports Server, Edge or BusinessObjects Enterprise. You can also use www.crystalreports.com

The migrated Crystal Report throws "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect" error

[ENVIRONMENT]
Product version - BI4.1 SP03
OS - Windows 2008 R2
CMS Database - Oracle 11g
Java Application Server - Tomcat7
[ISSUE]
Using the Upgrade Management Tool to completely migrate a BOXI3.1 SP3+FP3.6 to BI4.1 SP03. The reporting database from both BOXI3.1 and BI4.1 are the same and so is the database logon credential.
When viewing and refresh a migrated Crystal Report, it throws "The viewer could not process an event. The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect. [] ---- Error code:0 [CRWEB00000119]" error in both BI Launchpad and "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect" in scheduled job.
[STEPS TAKEN]
- Update the Database Configuration with the SAME Oracle database password in CMC and "The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect" issue goes away.
I search the SAP SMP and SCN forum and found no reference on this UMT and Crystal Report database logon problem. Hope any of you have seen this problem and share if there is an ADAPT for it.
Thank you in advance,
Jin-Chong

Hi,
The BI4.1 SP03 server and client and Crystal Report 2013 SP03 developer and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.1 SP03 are all installed onto this Windows 2008 R2 server.
I am able to open the migrated report from CMS repository in Crystal Report 2013 SP03 developer and am able to refresh it with database logon password provided. After save it back to the Enterprise, the database logon password field for this report in CMC becomes empty so that I have to enter the database password and choose "Use same database logon as when report is run" when viewing and scheduling report.
What is interesting to me is that the UMT seems to migrate the report along the database logon password because I can see the encrypted password in the report database logon property in CMC. The workaround is to reenter the database logon password in the report database logon property in CMC.
With this said, there are hundreds of the Crystal reports and the workaround would consume lots of manual work by update each report's database logon password in CMC.
For other customers who have more crystal reports, I wonder if there is an automated way to update the crystal report's database logon password on BI4.1 or if this is an isolated incident on my new BI4.1 SP03 environment.
I run UMT in command line to perform livetolive migration, and my steps are listed below
cd "E:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\java\apps\upgradeManagementTool\jars\"
"E:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win64_x64\sapjvm\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx56g -Djava.library.path="..\..\..\..\win64_x64" -jar upgrademanagementtool.jar -internal_use_only_noversioncheck -responsefile LIVETOLIVEResponseFile.txt
