How to bulid a Crystal report based on Bex query as source

Hi,
I have requirment where the end user wants the query in Crystal.I built a Bex query in Bex query designer.I would like to know how to create crystal report based onthe Bex query.
Thanks,

Hi
The Crystal Reports are integrated with BW such that the query built in BW can be used to bulit Crystal Reports on them.
After launching the Crystal Reports, you will have and option : "Open reprt from BW" whcih will help you in opening the BW Queries and create Crystal Reports.
Also in the Menu there is an optin SAP-->Create New Report from a Query

  • BO BI 4.0: WebI report based on BEx query (OLE DB enabled)

    Hi Experts
    We are trying to create WEBI reports based on BEx queries, but we are experiencing some issues. We have created two BEx queries og two separate multiproviders and opened them for external use but checking the OLE DB enable checkbox. In WebI we are now only able to use on of the queries as a data source (even though both are OLE DB enabled).
    Are there any limitations to which multiproviders that can be used to create BEx queries for WebI reports?  
    We are using BO BI 4.0 and BW 7.0 SP 5.
    Kind regards
    Erik

    Hi again Henry
    We use BW 7.01 Support package 5 (we know it should have been at least 6), SAP GUI 7.20 patch 9, BEx 7.2 patch 6 and BO 4.0 patch 11.
    The BW user that is synchronized to BO has almost all rights (almost sap_all). When we log on to BEx directly with the same user we use in BO, we are able to run both BEx queries without any problems. When we then log on to BO (with the same user), we are only able to use on of the queries in WebI.
    As you say, we have to following setup:
    -     BO users are synchronized from our BW system and when they log on to BO they use the SAP authentication.
    -     The user that is synchronized from BW has been added to the Administrator group in BO  
    -     The OLAP connection is set to SSO so that the authorization in the BW system is used.
    It is really strange that we are not able to use on of our multi providers in BW in WebI. As you say, we just need to try debugging with changing the authorization concept, changing the OLAP connection setup and so on to see if that helpsu2026
    Kind regards

    But still i cant view the SAP connectivity. can u tell me from which version they have included this connectivity option in CR.

  • Crystal Report based on BEX 3.X query + Hierachies

    Hi,
    I have built a Crystal Report (2008) based on BW Bex 3.5 query.
    The report has a hierachical group based on a hierachy
    similar to the strategy used in
    http://blog.mastering-sap-and-businessobjects.com/2009/07/10/crystal-reports-and-sap-bw-hierarchies--conditional-formatting-part-2.aspx
    Certain sub and parent nodes in the hierachy have suppressed to make sure the report is formatted correctly.
    The user running the report does NOT have the option of choosing the level of nodes to hide  or show.
    At this point in time the report is showing the correct nodes, however there is a concern that once users start re-arranging the hierchies and adding nodes that the reports will have to be maintained. (Which I think is a catch 22 situation)
    Does anyone have another suggestion how to have the reports be "Dynamic" (based on the hierachy) and still not have the danger of the hierachies changing and affecting the Reports
    (I certainly can think of no other ways EXCEPT creating a structure in the BW Query - which means that in any case if the hierachies changes, the BW Query will have to be maintained)
    Kind Regards,
    Nicole

    Hi,
    Crystal Reports is using a parent child relationship which means the complete hierarchy is dynamic and in case your hierarchy is changing on the BW side Crystal Reports will pick up those changes automatically - assuming we talking about additional levels or levels been removed.

  • Crystal Report based on BW query

    We create a Crystal report (CR 2008 ) with the main report based on on Bex Query on an SAP BW Server based on an infocube and a sub report based on an SQL relational table (Table, cluster or SAP Functions) on the same SAP BW Server. The execution is Ok on the Crystal Client but when we deploy on the InfoView portal (and on CMC) we have only one connection defined (it seems it detect that it was the same server name and keep only the first connection).

    We don't use Universe (For Bex Query SAP don't recommande it) . The queries are directly embeded in the crystal report

  • Crystal Report on BW BEx Query via MDX in SAP Portal

    Hi!
    We need to display a CR in the Portal. The CR is based on a MDx BW Query. To create and display the report is no problem. Even saving back to BW is working fine.
    But how do we get this CR displayed in the EP?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Should only the BO SAP Integration Kit iViews / URL iViews be used and are the Crystal Report iViews (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/36/d4a94076b63713e10000000a155106/frameset.htm) obsolete?
    Yes as the Crystal Report iView are based on an older version
    If we export the Crystal reports to SAP BW, is it possible to call them with BEx iViews like the xCelsius reports? (Like with DASHBOARD=<report name> for xCelsius)
    From where can we get the Crystal Report ID, if we export them to SAP BW?
    You should use the BusinessObjects Integration Kit iView template for Crystal REports and the ID can be retrieved from the CMC

  • Two problmes between  Crystal Reports 2008 and Bex Query

    Hi Gurus.
    I have two problems with Crystal Reports 2008 when It obtains data from a Bex Query (SAP MDX query connection).
    1)     I have defined some Parameters Fields using the follow options:
    Type: String
    List of Values: Dynamic
    Value Options Level1:
                         Show on (Viewer) Panel :Editable
                          Prompt text: <text>
                          Sort Order: Ascending by value
                          Prompt With description Only : False
                          Optional Prompt: True
                          Allow multiple values: True
                          Allow discrete values: True
                          Allow range values: False
    When I execute the report with the client of Crystal Reports 2008 (the developer tool), in the initial screen shows a list box where I can select the values from the left box and add it to the left box (as a usually filter). When the number of options (LOV) is more than  the maximum of the system, I have a input box bellow the list box, where I can insert any value (manually) and a button to insert it into the left box. When I publish the Report in the infoview, this filter is modified and the input box where I can introduce manually values is not showed and I can insert only the values showed in the list box, it causes that I can`t select a lot of values that is in the master data of SAP BW, because they arenu2019t listed in the list box.
    There is any option to ability this option in the infoview.
    2)     My Bex query, have a date filter with variable in the restricted key figures, when I execute a Crystal Reports, the infoview (and the Crystal Reports 2008 designer) ask me 2 times the same date, first only the date and second the date and the rest of parameters (introduced in the report of Crystal Reports).
    Why I need insert the date 2 times? How can I modify the Crystal Report for ask me only one time all the parameters?.
    Thanks.

    Hi Abhilash.
    Thank you for your information.
    1) Yes, the parameters are created in the Crystal Reports designer. I have created the parameters in the Crystal Report because I use the same Bex Query to create some Crystal Report, in other case, I will need create some Bex Query.
    2)The Bex query has the date filters and I have created some filters in Crystal Reports designer, the date filter from the Bex query is created automatically in the Crystal Report Designer but I don't use it, I haven't created it anytime. I use my filters only in the record selection. The date filters from the Bex query is showed as Static, and I can`t delete it, if I modify the parameter to dynamic or static with values, at first step ask me again static without values and the second step of the report execution ask me the parameter as I have defined in Crystal Reports Designer, my parameters fields are dynamic. A lot of reports have subreport, but I have created one of them without subreport (to trial) and the Crystal Reports ask me the date filters at first execution, and when I insert the date filters, in the second step, ask me the date filters again and my parameters fields again.
    Thank you again.

  • WebI report based on BEx query in Live Office document

    Hi
    We have a BEx query in BW that has one input ready variable (period). Then we have created a WebI report based on this BEx query (the WebI report itself does not have any prompts). When we run the WebI report we get asked to enter a value in the BEx variable (remember: this is not a WebI prompt). Until this stage everything works fine. Then we have created a Live Office document and added the WebI report. When we refresh the Live Office document, the BEX variable is not shown. The data that is retrieved is from the last time the WebI report run. The refresh option is set to u201COn demand: From the databaseu201D.
    Is there a way to get the BEx variables to be shown when refreshing the Live Office document? Remember, we do not use WebI prompts.
    We use BW 7.3 and BO BI 4.0.
    Kind regards
    Erik

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, this feature has not been developped the BICS connectiviy. It is only available for manda
    tory prompts based on universe. Others have noted the same problem, so there is an enhancement request for the feature to be available using BICS connection in the "Ideas Place".
    Use the link to vote for the idea, more votes gives a better chance that this will be picked up for development.

  • ProcessdpCommandEx error when adding or removing object from WebI report (based on BEX query) query panel object list

    Hi,
    We have WebI reports build on BEX using BAPI connectivity. When we are trying to add a object in query panel in a existing report we are getting this ProcessdpCommandEx error. But error does not appear when we add at the end of the list of objects already added.
    Can you calrify whether this could be some setting issue or it is a known bug?
    Can you share SAP Note No in case it is a known bug?

    Hi Avijit,
    This error occurs in case of any failure in the connectivity. It is like the data providers are not getting processed.
    You have mentioned that the issue does not come with newly created reports
    Are you creating new reports on migrated universe or a newly created universe?
    If issue only comes with migrated universe, please check if the connection has been migrated properly and required middleware and database connectors are in place.
    If connections are in place, try importing and exporting the universe once and check.
    In case, new report works fine with migrated universe, then you can simply try to re-point the universe by editing the query and can run it again and check.

    Yuvraj

  • Issue with Crystal Report based on 2 different data sources

    Hi there,
    I am having a frustrating problem with a report I've designed and I'm hoping someone might be able to assist please.
    The report has 3 different prompts, each of which is based on a dynamic list of values retrieved via views within a SQL server db.
    We are wanting to introduce the use of Universes as much as possible, so the data returned is based off a BO Universe data source query.
    I have uploaded the report into BO and have provided the necessary database logon information for the report (in the "Process" > "Database" settings in the CMC) for both the direct db datasource connection (for the views) and the BO Universe query connection.
    When the report is run however, the report still prompts for the database user name & password credentials. I have triple checked my db connection settings, and also have "Use same database logon as when report is run" set to true. I also tested a cut-down version of the report without the Universe connection with the same db logon credentials I provided and there was no credentials prompt when it was run, proving those values are accepted.
    Does anyone know why this is happening & if there is a way around it? Alternatively, is there some way that a report prompt may be based on a dynamic list of values retrieved via a Universe connection? This way I'd be able to remove the db connection for the views and have the report solely based on the Universe.
    Another issue that occurs is out of the 3 prompts, a user can select a User Name OR Number, and also must select a Period. However if the User Name or Number is left blank the message "The value is not valid" is shown. So I tried a cut-down version of the report with only the BO Universe as a data source (static prompts) and this didn't occur, i.e. I was allowed to leave either the User Name or Number empty.
    I hope this all of makes sense - let me know if not. If anyone is able to help out with any of this it would be very much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Marco

  • Crystal report based on BW query with two structures

    Hi,
    I use a BW query with 2 structures. In the rows there is a structure of restricted characteristic 0material. I used this characteristics several times in different rows to restrict these rows to specific products.
    Cars
    motorcycles
    Others
    In the columns I have a structure of key figures. Every key figure is restricted to a specific time intervall.
    So in BW the executed query looks like this:
                           Key figure 1         Key figure 2        Key figure 3
      Cars                   10                     30                         100
      motorcycles        20                   100                          30
      Others                30                    40                           39
    If I use the same query in Crystal then I have access to the 3 keyfigures and to one structure element.
    How can I ensure that the query is displayed in CR like in BW? I tried to work with crosstabs but I was not able to get the same display like in BW.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Issues with Infoview data refresh on Crystal Reports based on BW BeX query

    Hi all,
    We applied the Business Objects XI3.1 fix pack 3.1 with Integration toolkit fix pack 3.1 in our environment.
    After that we started having trouble with Crystal Reports based on BeX queries that use manual input variables.
    The data refresh would not work in Infoview.
    The data refresh would work using the Crystal Reports designer gui on local machine.
    regards,
    Abhishek

    Hi all,
    This thread is for the benefit of all the BW/BO people who faced issues with BO reports not working after certain fix pack installations.
    After lot of time spent in debugging this and researching and some help from SAP, we found that BASIS had missed a step in the BO patching. This step was relating to applying some BW transports in the BW system related to the new Integration toolkit.
    Please use below notes for the BW transport task of patching BOE Integration toolkit.
    Refer to Note#1472104 which explains about loading the
    transports when we install BO Service Packs or Fix Packs. Also please refer to the Note#1271751 for the advice on transports for BW systems.
    Please go through page 206 (Configuring transports) in the SAP Integration Kit installation guide. You can download this document at below link.

  • Crystal Report based on Universe and RAS SDK missing functionality

    Hi,
    In Crystal Report Designer Application i can select Universe as a data source for the Crystal Report and on the query panel construct the actual query using Universe objects and conditions.
    Now, my question is how can i do the same PROGRAMMATICALLY. I.e. i want to make a new or take an existing crystal report, check if it's based on universe, then access the actual universe query structure and construct/modify the query by operating with the actual Universe objects and conditions.
    I tried to use RAS SDK for this, but i could only access Tables that dont even show on which universe they are based on. 
    Should i use some other SDK to do this?
    Thanks,
    Roman.

    Thanks for your response. Ok, if it's so complicated, then i'm not concerned about universe query creation. I have more specific questions now:
    1) You've said that CrystalReport stores Universe SI_CUID values that it connects to. Let's say i have 3 tables based on universes in the report. What is the best way to determing which universe correspond to which table using RAS SDK?
    I looked at ConnectionInfo for each table, it sais that it's based on universe, but it DOES NOT have universe CUID property.
    Using Enterprise SDK i can access SI_UNIVERSE_INFO of ProcessingInfo for report InfoObject and see the list of universes used, but they are not matched to the actual tables, so i cannot really find out which universe belongs to which table.
    2) If EXISTING CrystalReport is based on Universe, is it possible to retrieve the actual universe objects and conditions used in this report? I can see that field names correspond to object names, BUT i also need a parent class name, becuase object is NOT identified by it's name only withing the universe.
