How to create a crystal reports from infocube

Hi everyone
I'm a new one in BOBJ, after few weeks learning, I've come across a problem.
Is it possible to create a CR via an infocube? 
What would i do if it's possible.
Thank you very much

Hello Ivan,
you can built a report against the cube and against the query level in Crystal Reports. We highly recommend the cube level.
why ? because when connecting to the cube directly you will lose the following:
- navigational attributes
- calculated keyfigures
- restricted keyfigures
- variables
- conditions
- authorization variables

  • Creating a crystal report from R/3

    Hi,
    I am new to R/3. I am trying to create a new crystal report from R/3. I already connect crystal report with R/3 using integration kit. My problem now is i not sure which field i should i take from a which table when i look in R/3.I been provided a link, http://www.sap-img.com/sap-sd/important-tables-for-sap-sd.htm where i can check all the table for SD, PM n etc. For example, i go to t.code VA03 and search for an order, i see there is so many field. How do i know which field is from which table n row. Let said i want to pull the below information to my crystal report, how do i know which table and row i should take ? (this is just an example)
    PO Number, Po Date, Material, Order quantity, pricing date, net value and overall status
    Thank you

    Moved to Integration Kit forum.
    The people in this forum will know more about the data structure than the CR Design forum which typically doesn't know much about the SAP Data sources Structure.

  • How to create a Crystal Report to connect to Oracle

    Hi,
    When I create a Crystal report to connect to SQL Server, I create a stored procedure to get all data I need and connect to it from Crystal Report.(In the stored procedure, I created temp tables, used cusor etc to run data.) But now I need to use a Oracle database. I heard I need to create a package and put this stored procedure in this package. Questions:
    1. if I need to create a package, how can I call the stored procedure from it?
    2. Can I create temp table in this procedure too? I need to create some temp tables to join together to get complex data.
    3. if I want the return data from stored procedure, do I still "select ... from ..." or there is another other ways?
    I am so desperated. Please help. I know this are very silly questions. But please.

    Hi Jenny,
    We are also using Crystal Reports for our Oracle Database, we normally just select the tables we want to use or create our own SQL query.
    However, if you really want to use Oracle stored-procedure (which performs faster than a SQL query because the stored procedure is compiled in advance), you can look at this document:
    http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/scr_oracle_stored_procedures.pdf
    Hope this will answer your questions.

  • 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.

    Deltas for LIS:
    After setting up the LIS environment, 2 transparent tables and 1 extract structure is generated for this particular info structure. Within transaction SE11 you can view the tables u2018SnnnBIW1u2019, u2018SnnnBIW2u2019 and the structure u2018SnnnBIWSu2019 and the InfoStructure itself u201ASnnnu2018
    The tables S5nnnBIW1 & SnnnnBIW2 are used to assist the delta update process within BW.
    Extract structure u2018SnnnnBIWCu2019 is used as an interface structure between OLTP InfoStructure and BW
    The OLTP system has automatically created an entry in the control table u2018TMCBIWu2019. Within transaction u2018SE16u2019 youu2019ll see, that for your particular InfoStructure the field u2018BIW activeu2019 has the value u2018Xu2019 and the field u2018BIW statusu2019 is filled with value u20181u2019 (refers to table SnnnBIW1).

    With the transaction u2018SE38u2019 youu2019ll see at the end of the program starting at line 870 / 1006, that the program is enhanced within a u2018BIW delta updateu2019 coding
    Within the flag u201AActivate/Deactivateu2018 the update process into the delta tables (SnnnBIW1/Sn5nnBIW2) is swichted on/off. In the table u201ATMCBIWu2018 is defined, which table is active for delta update.
    Note: The delta updating is client dependent !

  • Creating a Crystal Report from a non-SAP data base

    I have the following scenario
    server1\myDataBase
    server1\SAP\sapDataBases
    in sapDataBases I have about 30 company databases. I am trying to create a report, that gets informatino from a table/view/SP from server1\myDataBase, when I try to PREVIEW or SAVE such report on SAP Business One, I always get errors as
    I understand that this eerror means taht I can't invoke the data from out of SAP; it needs to be inside SAP (at least the SP, incoking some other data bases and stuff..)
    Some bodies have told me that it is beacuase I can only create a report from a table/view/sp that resides in the running/currently SAP company database. Is this right?
    Also, If this is the case, this means that If I have an SP taht I use for a crystal report, and 30 companies, I have to create such SP in the 30 companies?
    This is my software details:
    SQL Server 2012
    SAP Business One 9 PL 11
    SAP BusinessObjects Crystal Reports 2013 Support Pack 2 version 14.1.2.1121
    What I want to do is to create a non-SAP data base to create all the SPs/Views for reports, to centralize it, and the just create one reporte and do the 30-imports in each company database, without the need of creating such sps/views in each company-database. Is this possible?
    Thanks

  • How can I stop Crystal reports from locking tables in our SQL db?  PLEASE HELP!!!

    Post Author: kevans
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    I really need help with this and so far I've had no luck finding a solution on Crystal's knowledge base, forums our even outside of this site.
    I recently upgraded from crw8 to crw10 and of course after converting reports and placing them into production I now discovered that crw10 will place locks (blocking) on the SQL tables it is using.
    Is there a setting in crystal so I can turn this off?  Someone said I can use a statement like ... "with (nolock)"  but I can't seem to figure out the correct syntax to use, I'm not even sure if this works since I can't find info on it.  I desperately need help!!!
    Example - if this is my select statement how would I add the "nolock" to it?
    (DateTimeToDate (PDMTimeToDateTime ({call_req.open_date})) >= {?Starting Date}) AND   (DateTimeToDate (PDMTimeToDateTime ({call_req.open_date})) <= {?End Date}) AND    (if {?Select_Group} <> "ALL" then {ca_contact.last_name} = {?Select_Group}         else if {?Select_Group} = "ALL" then true) AND            {call_req.type} = {?Type}

    Post Author: sharonmtowler
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    no lock is used in the sql stored procedure. i believe you can look at your sql statement in the report and place the nolock(prior to the table name)
    the only problem with this is you may get dirty data. most sql developers dont recommend it especially with real time data.

  • How do I open a Crystal Report from Microsoft Access?

    I'm looking for step-by-step instructions on how to launch a Crystal Report from a Microsoft Access application (for a dummy like me).
    My Crystal Report uses a connection to the Access database as the data.
    I have Microsoft Access 2002 with Microsoft Visual Basic 6.5.
    I have Crystal Reports 2008 CR Developer 12.
    I'll need to know where to find the Visual Basic code references, and/or ActiveX Controls, if applicable.
    Thanks

    I concur with Don. Just a bit of help - a sample VBA app is here;
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006013432008E/rdc_vba.exe
    But as Don mentioned, you will have to downgrade to CR XI r2 (or lower) to implement the above solution.
