How to monitor Print Spool folder in Business Objects XI R2 - Crystal report

Hi Guru's
We recently had a issue where disc space was full in BO server and it was down. The reason was there was one job in print spool folder which was eating up whole space in C drive.
We had to stop the print spool service and delete the jobs and restart it back.
In order to prevent this from happening what can be done??.
One way that my client suggested is to write a script where in it will send us the size of print spool folder every hour so we can find the report which is causing this. I have no idea how this can be done.
This happened once and I dont have an answer when my manager asks will it happen again. Is there a way where we can monitor this or stop this from happening.
My current environment is
BOXI R2 , crystal report XI is the reporting tool.
Thanks.

Normally you should run your CR reports in the INfoView. You can start a report either by double clicking on it or by selecting View in the context menu. Still in order to fetch data you have to press the Refresh button in the CR viewer window (in the InfoView).
In the CMC I assume that you are using the Run now option in the context menu. Please note that this will just schedule your report immediatelly. hen the report is scheduled a new instance is created hich is available in the History of the report. In order to see a report in the CMC select again View in the context menu and you can again fetch data by pressing the Refresh button.

How can we use business object (e.g. crystal report ) in webdynpro abap

Hi All,
We all know that business object has been part of sap products.
But even though in SAP, I really don't know much about business object.
and how can we use the great function of BO and integrate into our development to make
user have much better function and user experience.
Do we have some learning material of BO?
Could someone share some material here?
Thanks and Regards
Aaron.

One of the main ways that you can integrate some Business Objects content with WDA is via FlashIslands. If you are on 7.01 or higher, you have the option to use FlashIslands UI element. There are many tutorials on FlashIslands available on SDN. FlashIslands work well with Xcelsius content, since the output of Xcelsius is a Flex component. It is pretty easy to set the Xcelsius interface to External Connection and then write a wrapper Flex Component around the generated output, so that it can be used in the FlashIslands interface.
For Crystal Reports integration you will need NetWeaver 7.02 (comming early next year). We have integrated Crystal Reports as an output option in the Web Dynpro ABAP ALV and the Classic Dynpro ALV. You don't need to do any development to enable this. You can use two different SAP delivered Crystal Reports templates for the ALV output, or create and add your own templates.
Some of ther BOBJ integration is still in prototype and demo phase within SAP. For instance we have a data interface to send data to Explorer onDemand from any ABAP application. We have a prototype FlashIsland for WebI to run in place within Web Dynpro ABAP. Over future enhancement packages you will see increased integration opportunties with the BOBJ capabilites.

Business Objects Edge and Crystal reports integration.

I'm new to the SAP BO application and I would like to know how to allow users to create and publish Crystal Reports via the Business Objects applicaiton. Currently I have published some reports and the users are able to View then via the InfoViewer Web interface. Now I have a request to allow the users to create their own Crystal reports and publish them. The problem is that the users are not part of my companies network but we have a VPN connection that they user to login to the InfoViewer Web front end to view the reports I have published.

Hi Ed,
what for a Database do you mean ? The Repository Database or the Database with your productive Data for Designing the Reports?
1.
When they enter their username and password in InfoView the Application Server (Tomcat) does it.
2.
Via their ODBC connection. Or when you use Oracle via the native client.

Business Objects Enterprise vs Crystal Reports Server for Central Reporting

A question for all the Architects and Administrators out thereu2026
I have a vision of centrally managing operational reporting (reporting directly against applications and/or ODS databases). The main reasons:
- Management of Security
- Management of Report Inventory
- More efficient use of server resources and capacity (clustering/sharable)
This will be Crystal Reports only.
Is Business Objects Enterprise a feasible solution for this or is a series of Crystal Reports Servers?
My understanding is that the server version does not cluster or scale and a series of them operates independently from each other. Is there a concern of the over-kill or magnitude of Business Objects Enterprise for just Crystal Reports?
What are everyoneu2019s thoughts?
Thanks Much
Ryan Shaw

Hi Ryan,
It really depends what meets your business needs. If you require to scale and expand your BOE XI environment then BOE is what you'll need. BOE will allow you to have clustered CMS' and have multiple processing servers that reside on remote servers.
If your deployment does not require a lot resource and one server can handle the amount of reporting requests and logons, then CR Server would be the better choice. You are correct, CR Server is not scalable and is a single server install only. You cannot expand or add additional BOE servers on remote servers if you use CR Server.

Wallie

If you want to centralize this, a series of CR Servers will not work as each installation will be its entity.

Difference between Business objects Entprise and crystal report server

Trying something new

Hello Prem,
The Concurrent Access License is per-user logon to Crystal Report Server or BusinessObjects Enterprise.
Each User logon will increment the CAL. If a User logs on twice, then CAL is increased by two. A CAL will not be released until a User logs off. If the maximum number of CALs have been attained, further logon attempts will be denied.
With a Named User License, you can have a number of active Users up to the number of NUL that you've purchased. The named user can connect multiple times to the system. If you would like to add additional Users beyond the NUL that you have, you either have to purchase further NUL, or disable a User already there.
In either case, the CAL or NUL won't work like the CPL that you have with the JRC - license management is handled by the Enterprise system.
With Licensing for the Server or Enterprise, each user accessing reports must be named within the system.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

How to increase the number of data Business Object can pull for a report?

Hi,
I would like to ask around how to increase the number of data Business Object can pull for a report. I have a report which pulls data depending on the date range (ex. From 01/01/2007 - 01/10/2007). But, when the data that is pulled exceeds 5000, the report fails. Is there anyway to increase the number of data that BO can pull?
Thanks

Bobby,
to my knowledge we can't change that. Let me explain this, we have setting in the source system for DS default Data Transfer. there we will assign the processes. if you want to assign 4 you need to change the setting in the source system. For flat files we can change in BW System. We can maintain the setting in the Infopackage level(wht we are assigned in the Source System), but we can't change the process.
in order to check the setting in source system SBIW--> General Settings --> Control Parameters for Data Transfer.
we need to change here, this will effect to all the Data Sources. Before making changes check with your basis.
All the best.

How to enable Business Objects Inbox to receive reports?

How can I enable Business Objects inbox to receive report?
I can schedule or send report to a recipient without error, however, if I log into system as the receipient, I could not find the report in the inbox.
Any solutions?

Hi Simon,
The report is not sent because of missing rights on the report or the Inbox.
You can check this article to get minimum rights required to send to Inbox : 1612499 - What are the minimum rights required to be able to send a report object to another user's inbox on BI Launch Pad?
I hope this helps.

Hi How do we create Methods inside the Business objects of Z

Hi Abapers,
                    How do we create Methods inside the Business objects (z objects) and how *** an import parameter or export parameter to be defined for the new Methods.
Regards
Bhaskar Rao.M

Hi Bhaskar,
that ´s not difficult.
Open your Bus.Obj. in SWO1 with CHANGE/EDIT
Click on the "Methods" header line and then use the button for "Create".
If you want to add the method on basis of a function module, choose next in the next pop up. Then the system will offer you the ex/import parameter from the function module. So this is a really simple way.
If you don´t have a FM, it is a little bit more difficult.
Choose No on the quetion about a FM, fill in the next pop up methode name (no blanks allowed).
Dialogue is for user related method (call screen...) synchronous for methods which have to give back a result directly in to the workflow.
After completing the screen the method will be displayed as new method at the end of method list. Now add parameters (first click on the method name, then choose parameter button, same functionality to add program to the method).
Programm:
Code snip:
BEGIN_METHOD ZWFCHECKMIRO CHANGING CONTAINER.
DATA:
      ZBELNR TYPE RBKP-BELNR,
      ZGJAHR TYPE RBKP-GJAHR,
      RESULT TYPE HRP1001-ISTAT,
      BELNR TYPE BKPF-BELNR,
      GJAHR TYPE BKPF-GJAHR,
      BUKRS TYPE BKPF-BUKRS.
to import parameter
SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Zbelnr' ZBELNR.
SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Zgjahr' ZGJAHR.
*(or SWC_GET_TABLE)
here add the functionality of your method!
to export parameter
SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Result' RESULT.
SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Belnr' BELNR.
*(or SWC_SET_TABLE)
!!! Important: naming convention!!! Use same writing of parameter names in
PARAM area (button PARAMETER) and here in code.
To use your method, change it to implemented after adding your code.
-> Edit -> Change release status -> object type component -> into implemented
(Sorry , have a german screen here, possibly terms are a little bit different.
Hope this helps a little bit.!

Dirk

How to add OLE wordpad objects to a crystal report through VB program

Can we programmatically add OLE wordpad objects to a crystal report XI r 2. through VB.NET or VB6?
And is there a way of treating a database binary/blob field as an ole object in CR?

Hi Mohan,
Try it in the Designer first. If it works in the designer then it will work in our SDK's but you'll have to use RAS. So when you post your question to the .NET Development - Crystal Reports Forum be sure to specify what version you are using and anything else as far as versions go.
It may be easier to simply link the OLE Object in the designer, check the help file out on how to.
Thank you
Don
