Improvements SAP Integration Kit

Hi,
I am looking for a list which states all the improvements that have been done per Support Package and per FixPack for the SAP integration kit. Is there one? If yes, where can I find it?
Best Regards,
Eelco de Vries

Hi Ingo,
When I for instance read the release notes of SP3 then I do not see anywhere what has been improved.
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir2SP3/en/xir2_sp3_%20IntegrationKits_release_notes_en.pdf
More like howto install, deploy and known issues. But where does it say for instance: using BW query conditions have improved performance for Crystal reports...?
Best Regards,
Eelco de Vries

Error after uninstalling the SAP Integration Kit XI 3.0 on Unix

Hi all,
I have uninstalled the SAP Integration Kit XI 3.0 on a single solaris server installation. Uninstall was done exactly as instructed in the manual and everything looked ok.
Now when I try to go to the login page of CMC or InfoView I get an error:
type Status report
message /PartnerPlatformService/service/app/logon.do
description The requested resource (/PartnerPlatformService/service/app/logon.do) is not available.
Is the login page trying to look for the SAP authentication page that was removed ?
Is there some configuration still remaining somewhere that needs to be removed so I get the old login page back ?
Thanks for ideas, Timo

Thanks for pointing to the right direction. I changed the tomcat webapps web.xml file parameter and it was enought to start working again.

        <param-name>config.logon.service.context</param-name>

SAP Integration kit for BO XIR2 with Crystal XI for BI 7.0 Front end

Hello Team,
We are in a little fix.
We have BOE XIR2, Crystal XI and working with old version of BI front-end 3.5.
We are upgrading to BI 7.0 frontend, but I am not able to trace out the SAP Integration kit for combination of BOE XIR2, Crystal XI and BI7.0.
Is such a thing available, If yes can someone send a link to that.
Regards
Lalan Kanade

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply
I could trace this document. "BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 SP3 for Windows"
I checked in "Supported Data Sources for Crystal Rep" section, extract below
SAP BW Server 3.0b SAP GUI 620 or 640
SAP BW Server 3.1c SAP GUI 620 or 640
SAP BW Server 3.5 SAP GUI 640.
But we are using BW Server 7.0 with GUI 7.1 and that working fine even with BOXIR2 and Crystal XI with Old Front End for BI 3.X.
But when we are testing with BOXIR2 and Crystal XI with BI New Front End 7.0 its missing components from the query output.
So the SAP Integration kIt seems old & we need a new Kit which would work with BI New Front End 7.0.
Any suggestions on that
Regards
Lalan

BOE XI 3.1 + SAP Integration Kit on AIX 5.3 with WebSphere 6.1 (SOLVED)

Hi everybody!
On a recent installation I encountered a problem with SAP Integration Kit using BW Query with prompts; I want to share with you what I did to solve this problem:
First of all, the environment:
IBM Server with AIX 5.3
BO Repository on DB2 9.5
Application Server IBM WebSphere 6.1
BOE XI R3.1
Crystal Reports 2008 SP1
After installing and configuring everything on the system, I encountered some problem launching in InfoView reports created with Crystal Reports 2008 based on BW query with SAP Prompts.
The error that I recieved everytime was:
com.sap.mw.JCO.$Function
What I did to solve this was:
1) Configure the absolute complete classpath inside the Application Server (path/sapjco.jar)
2) Put the sapjco.jar version 2.18 at 32bit (unix version) that you can download at https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000463654&
Hope this helping you
Bye

Dear Gurus,
The issue I am facing is described exactly in the document "Upgrading to CR 2008 V1 / SP1" by Blair Wheadon.
The problem occurs when installing CR2008v1 and BOE 3.1 on the same machine.
The solution is to download and install SP1.
Unfortunately for me, I have downloaded SP1 but the installation is not going well.
Message prompts that installation files are corrupt and that I should download again.
I have downloaded twice. And tried several times.
So I guess it might be due to the platform.
But why wasn;'t the message displayed after BOE3.1 installation was completed?
Do you guys have an idea?

Error while installing SAP integration kit 3.1

Hi,
I installed SAP integration kit 3.1 on one server and it is working fine but when i am installing same installable on another server it is giving error as "Installation ended prematuarly because of an error". I dont know how to debug the error. Please help me.
Thamnks in advance

Hi Sonali,
had a similar problem on a Windows/Tomcat system. The installation was crashing before trying to deploy the .jar files. If you are facing the problem in a similar environment please make sure that you have copied the librfc32.dll and the sapjco.jar files in the correct directories. Especially for sapjco.jar doublecheck the path you have copied the file into.

Default language settings in SAP Integration Kit?

Hi everybody,
I've the following problem:
If I create a report with the SAP Integration Kit (create new report from a query) I get a prompt where I can type in (System Number, User, Password and LANGUAGE). If I now choose as language u201CEnglishu201D and create a report, save it and open it in crystal again, everything is still fine. But if I go to refresh the report, I get a prompt where I can choose the SAP BW and type in the System Number, User and Password but not the LANGUAGE. After the refresh the names of the fields are still in English but the data is now in German (or just the technical names, depends on the language settings in the query).
For me it looks like that the language settings of the refresh are by default in crystal is set to German, but the software is English. I didnu2019t find any way to change the default language to English or save it in the report.
I already tried to change the language/regional/keyboard settings of my machine and also tried to change the language in the crystal formula field u201Clanguagecode%u201D.
But even if I could have a unique change in some system settings, it really will not help me, because I have some queries in German and some in English, depending on the actual BW system.
If the SAP Integration Kit gives me the possibility to choose the language during the creation of the report it should then remember the choice!?
Thank you for your help

How to import the transports from the SAP Integration Kit into SAP system

Hi expert,
I read the forum "Re: Integration with SAP R/3 to realise i have not done the import of transport but i don't quite understand the statement give by "Sebastian Li".
"Unpack the SAP Integration Kit zip-file. It contains a transport-folder. Here you'll find a short manual which files you should import.
Copy the needed files on your sap-system in the correct folders:
- usr\sap\trans\cofiles
- usr\sap\trans\data
Use the transaction STMS.
Also take care of the sequence of importing. See the manual for details."
Can some one explain it in more details to me. I have unzip the SAP Integration Kit n in the transport folder got 2 more folder "ansi" and "unicode_compatible". How do i know which 1 to use? Where i should copy this files to?
Please advice.
thank you

Crystal Report XI R2 compatablity with SAP Integration kit

Hi All,
we have suggested to one of our customer the Customized pack of BO XI Edge series which include the licensing of Xcelsius , WEBI , Universe designer, SAP Integration kit and Live office...
He dont want to pay extra for taking the license for cryatal report 2008 as they already using the Crystal Report XI R2 version which they use to do reporting on non SAP data.
My question is :
1 - Now they want to do reporting ove SAP data using the existing CR solution they have is it possible ??
2- Will the integration kit support the CR XI R2 version ??
3- Can he publish the Crystal Report created by CR XI R2 to the Business Object Edge Series plateform ??
They just want to use CR to do reporting on data from R/3 side .
Kindly suggest.
Regards,
Mishra,Vibhav.

Dear Ingo,
Thanks for the reply.
Actally we have suggested to our client the latest Edge Series Standard pack solution , excluding the crystal report licensing.
My question is will the integration kit which comes along with the Edge series will support the existing Crystal Report XI R2 and can the it be integrated with BOE(can he publish the reports created with the earlier version to the Business Object plateform).
If the above sceanario is not possibe then we have to purchse the older version of integartion and i doubt if we can purchse it stand alone in that case we would be having two integration kits running to solve the purpose.
Kindly suggest.
Warm regards,
Mishra Vibhav

My SAP Client is 7.1.
When i trie to connect my Reports on CR 2008, the connection doesn't work.
I have install SAP Integration Kit but it doesn't work because an error message says me that i've already install a Webserver for Crystal Reports Server 2008.
My Webserver is on IIS 6
My Database for CRS 2008 is SQL Server 2000.
Do you have any idea why it doesn't work ?
I have to install first my SAP Integration Kit 3.0 before install Crystal Reports Server 2008 ?
Thanks a lot for your help.

BO XI 3.1 SP3 - SAP Integration Kit: Transports

Hi All,
My question is regarding the transports that need to be imported into SAP system so that it can connect with BOE. We are connecting our BW system with BOE, please let me know whether we need to move all transports in BW system only or we have to move transports in R3 system as well.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Ingo,
Please help us in solving the below issue:
We have installed BO XI 3.1 version with the following configurations.
Windows 2003 Server, SP2 64bit Version
Java: JDK 1.7 and JRE 1.7
BW: BW 3.5 version
BOE in Tomcat 5.5 App server
SAP integration kit 3.1 32 bit (51040568.zip)
The issue is that while integrating BOBJ with BW to import all the roles for SSO, we are unable to find the exact JCO files for doing the same. We tried with JCO 2.1.8, JCO 2.1.10 and JCO 3.0, but all the versions turned futile. After the initial installation with JCO 2.1.8 version (as per to Installation guide) we found neither CMC nor Java Infoview are working.
Please help us in identifying the right JCO for the proper installations and do we need to install SAP integration kit 3.1 SP3 ? This is pretty urgent

Rajib

Finding Download for SAP Integration Kit Fix Pack 3.1 / ADAPT01412706

Hi all,
by using Crystal Reports 2008 V1 SP3 in combination with SAP Integration Kit 3.1 (SBOP INTEGRATION FOR SAP SOLUTIONS XI 3.1 SP3 WINDOWS (32B)) i get an error during the inportstep of the transports in our BW System.
This error is descriped and solved in Note 1484086
(https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1kZSZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/sno/ui_entry/entry.htm?param=69765F6D6F64653D3030312669765F7361706E6F7465735F6E756D6265723D3134383430383626)
Following the Notesteps there is one conclusion using the transport files from the "SAP Integration Kit to FixPack 3.1" . My problem is to find these named Fix Pack in the download area of the Marketplace.
An Fix Pack for the SAP Integration Kit itself seems to be not aviable,
therefore I tried several downloads beginning with:
Crystal Reports 2008 Fix Pack 3.1 - Click Once
Crystal Reports 2008 Fix Pack 3.1 - Redist Install
Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Fix Pack 3.1
there are no transportfiles in any of these packages.
If any from you have some idea where to find the right transport files, please let me know.
Regards
Marco

Hi Marco,
you can go in Sap Support Portal -> Software Downloads-> BusinessObjects Downloads
in the left select "Search for Software Downloads" then in "Search Term" input:
BOBJINTGRSAP03P
You'll retrieve all available versions of IK SP3 with related fixpacks.

SAP Integration Kit installation - BW Publisher parameters

Hi,
We are working on an BO GRC RM 3.0 scenario (Windows/SQL Server). As per architecture requirements we are currently installing BOBJ Integration Kit for SAP. However the following doubt comes up. As per architecture requirement also, and as it was defined for our scenario there is no need for an BI system (AS JAVA was installed only as EP usage type) if the reporting is going to be used with BOE Crystal. What we need there, is to install and BOBJ SAP Integration kit on BOE XI 3.1 server and to import Crystal transport files in AS ABAP (SAP_ABA, SAP_BASIS, PI_BASIS, SAP_BW).
During the Integration Kit installation process we are being prompted for BW Publisher parameters where an RFc to a BW system is required. As mentioned earlier, we donu2019t have an BW system since BOE Crystal will be used instead of WebDynpro ABAP ListViewer...Are we using the incorrect Integration Kit? Should I install BI_Content Add-on installed on AS ABAP even when reporting is going to be used with Crystal Report?
Hoping being clear enough, please let me know if I can proceed with Integration kit installation in this way or should I have some other precautions for this particular solution implementation.
Thanks and best regards.

Hi,
in case you do not have SAP BW as part of the landscape then there is no need to install the publishing component

No Connection after installing SP 2.3 for SAP Integration Kit

Hello Community!
We just installed Service Pack 2 and Fix Pack 2.3 (in this order) for SAP Integration Kit on one of our client's servers. Before that everything worked fine. After the installation I verify the CE connection in /crystal/rptadmin. The result is:
Unable to log on to Enterprise system. Reason: Unable to log on: Could not connect to server vm103:6400. Please check that the server name is correct, and that the server is running.
I checked the RFC connection in sm59 but that works normally. BW Publisher Service is also running. The servers (BW and BO) are on the same machine: Windows 2008, 64bit, SQL Server, BOE XI 3.1 SP 2.
The BW Publisher Trace log shows the following entry:

When I try to log into BO Info View or CMC with my SAP credentials CMS crashes without any logs!
This is now the 2nd server with that issue!
Any ideas what this could be?
Thank!
phil

No, this happens only by logging in with SAP credentials.
CMS log file shows a huge list of entries like this one:
.\pluginhelper.cpp:276: TraceLog message 1

But I've got these entries on other systems too...

SAP Integration Kit doesnu00B4t see Universe Designer Installation

I installed BOE Enterprise Client Tools XI 3.1 on my machine and updated to most current SP and FP.
When I want to install SAP Integration Kit, I get the message "No Crystal Reports or Universe Designer found".
What can be the issue?
Edited by: B.Wegner on Nov 18, 2010 10:47 AM

Hi
Here what i mean was
first install BOE 3.1
Then SAP IK 3.1
Now install BOE 3.1 Latest SP/FP
Then Install SAPIK 3.1 Latest SP/FP
