How to connect Crystal Report 2008 server with SAP BI/BW server

Hi ,
I have downloaded the 60 Days trial version of "Crystal Report 2008 Server' from sap site to my machine. Now i would like to connect this Crystal server with SAP BI and want to use the data of BI Bex queries and Infoproviders.
Can you please guide me how to connect them?
Aslo how can i get the free trial version of Intergration kit ..here please provide me the entire full path of site(to download the Integration Kit).....
Any inputs would be appreciated!!
Regards,
Naween

Hi Michelle,
Older versions of CR would allow you to run CR from a network share point but you still had to have a license for each user. Current versions of CR do not allow you to do this any more, possibly using a Citrix or Terminal Server would allow this but you still need a license for each user. Older versions had a Network install option.
And as suggested exporting to PDF or some other format is fine for end users viewing your output. They are not using CR but Adobe Reader or Word etc. to view the reports, they just can't use the Designer to view the reports.
Hope this is clear now?
Thank you
Don

Integrate the Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 with SAP R/3

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to integrate Crystal Reports with the SAP R/3 . I'm new with this kind of integration and need help because I need to create a report based on the R/3 data.
I have read some posts from this forum especially on the integration kits - SAP forum but still don't have any idea on how to do it?
I already installed the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 and also Crystal Reports 2008 SP1. I also download the Integration Kits -SAP installer from the SAP Marketplace but when I tried to installed it, I get stuck because it need information for BW publisher.
As for your information, we don't use any BW server because we only use R/3.
Can anyone help me where to start on this integration?
Thanks,
-Syahida-

Hi Stratos,
You're right regarding the transport files. My basis team able to transport that file but when I try again to connect from Crystal Report to R/3, it come out with other error like " Connect to SAP gateway failed" and " partner 202.171.46.161 :3300 not reached"
What I did were :
a) Click on blank report
b) Create New Connection
c) SAP Tables, Cluster
Did I do any wrong here because the error cameout after I did all the step above ? When I look out on the error, it seems like it need to use port 3300. Is there any specific port required for the integration? This is because if the integration through SAPGui, it should used port 3200 and if go direct using SAPRouter, it will use port 3299.
Really need your expertise here or any document that I can refer because the standard document for integration kit for SAP did not mention anything about the port.
Thanks and Regards,

Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c

Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c. I need assistance on connecting these together so I can run a report. I am not an IT person so if someone could dumb it down it would be great.
Thanks,
NBGHealth

Hello,
I assume GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c is some sort of database or data source? If you have an ODBC driver then create or use a System DSN to the database. Then you can create a report using that DSN.
Otherwise I suggest you contact the makers of GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c and ask them how to connect to the database.
Let them know CR is ANSII 92 ODBC 3 compliant.
Thank you

How to integrate Crystal Report 2008 with java

Currently we are using Crystal Report XI with our application, it is working fine. Now we are updating to Crystal Report 2008.
We have build our application in enterprise archive file. There is a web archive file(.war) file in the EAR file which contains the crystal report. Inside the .war file we have reports folder which contain jsps and rpt folder. the jsps folder contains the crystalreportviewers12 folder and .jsp files. The rpt folder contain the.rpt files. The WEB-INF which is at the reports folder leavel contains the classes and lib folder. The crystal report jars are in the lib folder and the CRConfig.xml file inside the classes folder. I replaced all the crystal report jar with Crystal Report 2008 jars, modified the web.xml and the CRConfig.xml file accordingly. When I opened the report it gave me an error.
When the following line was execuated in the jsp:
reportClientDocument.open(report, 0);
it gave me following error:

Hello Ted,
As per the samples in the link provided by you I identified that the following statement was missing.
reportClientDocument.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
After adding this statement the jsp was not able to compile, it gave me an error:
ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString cannot be resolved
Now my queries are:
1. What is Report Application server(RAS)?
2. Is it required to set Report application server in JSP page? It was not required in Crystal Reports XI. If YES, then how to configure RAS inside our applications WAR file?
3. I am using WebSphere Application Server for deploying the WEB Archive file (WAR file). The Crystal Reports 2008 library (JARS) are embedded inside the WEB-INF/lib folder. How to specify the RAS server inside thhe WAR file? Is it some XML configuration file which we have to keep at WEB-INF level? Or we have to modify the existing CRConfig.xml file?
4. I would like to mention here that we have bundled crystalreportviewers12/ folder in our WAR file at the same level where reports JSP pages exits.
Thanks in advance.

How to configure Crystal Reports 2008 and IIS7 and Windows Server 2008?

I have downloaded and installed the trial for Crystal Reports 2008 on our Windows 2008 server. I can open Crystal Reports on the server just fine, but I get HTTP 500 errors when I attempt to view a report hosted on that server via the web.
As far as I can tell, the handler mappings in IIS7 are not configured properly, although I confirmed that the Crystal Reports 2008 install did add several handlers. I read that I must configure the application pool to enable 32-bit applications. I did that and am still getting the same error. Documentation seems sparse and I've spent the better part of the day searching the forum here with no luck. What am I missing?

Don,
Thank you for the quick response!
We will ultimately be using ASPX/C#, but this simple case has a very basic report with no databind, just a single text label that reads "test succeeded" and I'm attempting to access it by direct URL (i.e. "http://192.168.99.21/crystalreportviewers12/test.rpt"). This works on our Windows 2000 server running Crystal Reports 8.
I've also tested with a simple test.aspx file with only the line "Response.Write(System.DateTime.Now.ToString())" and that works just fine. This file is in the same folder as the test.rpt file.
If I leave the Application Pool set for the "Integrated" managed pipeline mode, I continue to get a rather generic "500 - Internal server error". If I switch it to "Classic", I get the following error:
Failed to Execute URL.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Many thanks, any ideas would be appreciated!
David

Hi David,
I've seen this before, your Video driver is out dated and you need to update it. Typically the makers of the mother board or video card, which ever one you are using, will have updates for your specific OS. Appears you are using the default Window generic video driver which may not support what CR requires or you have an older usp10.dll. You will likely get a new one if you install Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Also, Crystal Reports version: 12.1.0.883 is SP 1 and not SP 2., second number is the Service Pack, 12.x.x.x.
Download SP 4 and see if that may help:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009989492010E/cr2008_sp3_fullbuild.zip
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
Or incrementally:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009038092009E/cr2008win_sp2.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
And you may need SP 3 or if you want to start off clean download the full build of SP 3 and then SP 4. Requires the keycode so make sure you have it, we can't give you a new one.

Connecting Crystal Report 2008 to SAP SRM

Hi all,
I have a customer that would like to use Crystal Reports 2008 to report SAP SRM data. Is this possible? We already have the integration kit.
What steps must I take?
I know to connect Crystal to SAP CRM all I have to do is import the ERP transports on to the SAP CRM application server. Is the process the same with SRM?
Please advise.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Jenny

Hi Jenny,
For now I'll move this post to the Integration kit forum. Some of our engineers are getting trained on connecting SAP datasources so for now your best place to get an answer is likely the Integration kit forum.
Thank you
Don

Integrating Crystal Report 2008 Developer with Visual Studio 2008 Standard

I have Crystal Reports 2008 Developer version 12.0.0.683 on my computer. I also have Visual Studio 2008 Standard. I know the standard edition of VS 2008 does not have the bundled crystal reports, but since I bought the full version of CR 2008 separately, I figure I should be able to use CR within VS 2008. The problem I am facing is integrating Crystal Reports with Visual Studio, so I can create reports from within visual studio.
Crystal Reports was installed first and then Visual Studio. As per suggestions on this and other forums, I repaired my installation of Crystal Reports, but that did not help. I then ran Visual Studio integration manager, but when I run it, it only detects Visual Studio as the currently installed IDE, but does not detect CR 2008. I downloaded service pack 2 for CR, but have not installed it yet. I do not want to install it if it is not going to help. I would also like to avoid uninstalling my copy of CR if at all possible.
I am a newbie at development in visual studio. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rajib

Don't want to go against what Jason said as it may be correct - if we go strictly by the documentation provided (sorry Jason, Dan says...). However, here is something to try;
Uninstall CR. Look for any left overs; c:\program files\business objects\... and delete all of that.
Look in the registry for HKLM\software\business objects and remove the business objects entry.
Download CR 2008 from here:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
That is a trial version and I believe it is already at SP 1. Use your keycode to install. Once this is done, you should have the ability to use CR in .NET. I'd recommend you do apply sp 2 now also.

Crystal Reports Dynamic Parameters with SAP Business One

Okay, I've got this very strange issue with dynamic parameters in Crystal Reports connected to SAP Business One.
Let's start with the software versions:
- Crystal Reports 12.3.0.601
- SAP Business One 8.8 (8.80.231) SP: 00 PL: 13
- Windows XP SP3
(SBO Server on Windows 2003 and SQL 2005)
What I'm about to describe is something I've tried in several reports and for which I created a very, very simple test report to see if it was reproducible in a very simple situation.
- I connected to a Business One server through CR's SBO connection type. Logon is successful, tables are shown.
- I pick OCRD and plac CardCode and CardName in the details section on the report. Previewing the report shows data.
- I create a dynamic parameter on CardCode and in the Select Expert I select the CardCode field and define that that should be equal to the parameter.
- I preview the report again. Now it asks me in such a parameter screen for logon credentials. It shows the server and database it tries to connect to and in the username it shows the SQL Server username I used to connect to the SQL Server in the first place. However, the password for that user is not accepted. I also tried to login with the Windows administrator user and with the SBO manager user, but no success with any attempt.
I also tried to add a static parameter and add all database values to the list. Same screen, different result:
Crystal Reports 2008 wrote:
Logon Failed.
Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT:
Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters. (rptcontrollers.dll)
(On a side note: the report is saved as report1.rpt)
Anyone else got similar issues and found a solution?

Hi,
When you have fixed your crystal installation following the note posted earlier, please take a look at the [how to guide|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700000882232009E.pdf] and also at the [e-learning|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700001370262010E] about SAP Business One 8.8 and Crystal Reports.
There are so called "tokens" which you need to use instead of dynamic parameters.
Dynamic paramters don't work in SAP Business One 8.8, if they are not defined as a static paramter with token.
Best regards,
Darius

How to connect crystal report 10 to Borland JDataStore?

Post Author: badong
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
i am new to crystal reports for Borland JBuilder. Does anyone knows how to connect it to the database created in
Borland JDataStore? i would appreciate if you could provide the configurations.

Crystal Reports AdHoc / Explorer has limited connectivity support, and Universes aren't exposed.
Crystal Reports Designer is the tool used to create CR against Universes.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda
