The name of the report is Controlling Dashboard report and it has CO_OM_CA_20_Q1 query which I was unable to map on ECC using Crystal Report. I do not knw how to map ECC table infoset to Crystal report.
Can anybody assist me to get solution?

Hi Efstratios,
Hope you are well!
I am experiencing the same issue:
unable to get this infoset query CO_OM_CA_20_Q1 in Crystal Report which is made on the top of ECC
I followed the BI quick guide as well, I am on EPH 4 and I am able to see both the Query Infoset CO_OM_CA_20_Q1 and its related Infoset /SREP/CO_OM_CCA_20.
But unfortunately, it wouldn't let me update the connection approprietaly.
Is this something you can assist me with?
Thanks in advance

Can I access Infoset variable from Crystal Reports

Hi,
In order to connect Crystal Reports 2008 to the SAP environment I have the Integration kit.
I have learnt that Crystal also offers InfoSet driver to connect to SAP.
If I need to access SAP BI- Infoset variables inside Crystal Reports is it possible to do that. If no, then do I need to have the filter using the variable value instead of the fixed filter value?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Amogh.

Hi Amogh,
the InfoSet connectivity that Crystal Reports offers as a direct Infoset connectivity is towards the classic InfoSets from ERP.
see here:

/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/03/23/businessobjects-and-sap-part-4
In case you want to connect to an InfoSet in a BW system you would put a BW query on top of the InfoSet and then use the BW Query in Crystal Reports.

Views on CF Report Builder and Crystal Report

Dear all,
I would like to get your opinions on CF Report Builder and
Crystal Report.
As we all know, CF Report Builder is a new reporting tool.
But I find it very difficult to design a complex report maybe due
to limitation in its functionalities. Sometimes the tool shutdowns
by itself without any warning and reason. But the output is nicely
presented on a flash paper / pdf and it can be run on non-MS
platforms.
On the other hand, Crystal Report is a more matured product
but runs only on MS platform. It is very easy to use and very
powerful. I have been using it for almost 10 years. But the output
is not nicely presented on the web browser unless if we purchase
Crystal Report Enterprise to generate the report which is very
costly.
Can you all share your views? I need to make decision which
tool(s) to use. Really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Keiko

Hi Keiko,
Yes, CF Report builder is new and initially there was few
issues with this. But I guess now it's good after hotfixes.
Well, I am using CF Report Builder. It's good for me. You can
also design and develop complex reports, that depends upon the
query you are writing. You can also add subreports to your main
reports.
Mainly CF Report is platform independent and you can also
generate reports in PDF, EXCEL and FlashPaper.
Crystal Report is no doubt is very good, and it's there for
long years. I agree you can create complex reports with this, but
you also can do the same in CF also. You are using this for last 10
years, so I guess you should try something new and that is CF
Report Builder and you can judge then.
I am sure you will have fun with CF.
Thanks

Empty report returned from WEBI and Crystal report when using external hier

Hi,
WEBI and Crystal report build from BEX query returned empty report when we used external hierarchy 0PROFIT_CTR. In BEX we don't have any problems with it.
No authority check is perfomed on the hierarchy when we start the report in WEBI/Crystal. Only check on the hierarchy is performed when the root authorization is assigned to the user

Hi,
Depends on datasource type but you could have a look at ODBC trace or if you have access to the SQL Server you could use profiler to monitor the session.

Error when opening a BW query with Crystal Reports

Hi all,
I am having problems when opening a BW query with Crystal Reports, the strange thing is that it only happens with
the bo user I have created. If I use a user that already exists and that has SAP_ALL authorization it works.
I don't know if this could be an authorizations issue, but I have created a role with all the authorizations stated in the manual.
The error I am getting is the following:
"An error occurred while generating a new report template. Error in UNKNOWN.RPT file"
Does anyone know what this could be?
Thanks

Well,
I cannot access the system now. But I think it is not an issue of authorization, because I assigned all the good user's role to the bo user,
and even with that, it still don't work.
Thanks

Select Query in Crystal Report

Dear all,
I have a report to be developed in which i have to fire more than 2 select quires. I am adding this quires in "Add Command" window, it doesn't give any error but gives output of first query only.
I have tried to use multiple commands in report but the query fields are not having any common field in it so i am not able to link it.
Is there any other way to use more than one query in crystal report?
Thanks in advance.
Ashish Tambe

Dear Charles,
I am willing to develop a report in which i need to select diff data from diff table such as OOPR,ORDR,OINV and many more.based on diff conditions and it may happen that a query can give more than 2-3 records then i need to make summation for that. On the basis of this summation and some more formulas in CR i need to make some conclusions.
This cannot be done in single query. so i need to fire more than one select query.

How to enable show SQL Query in Crystal report tool

Hi,
How can we enable the show SQL Query under Database tab in crystal report...
We have a requirement to modify the SQL query in Crystal reports.
Thanks,
Gana

Gana,
CR has an "Add Command" feature that will allow you to use hand-coded SQL as your data source.
Look at Defining an SQL Command in CR's online help (F1).
If a command was used in the original report creation, it's a simple matter to go in and edit that SQL.
If the report was not originally built w/ a Command you may find it difficult to switch over. In most cases it easier to start over from scratch, creating a new, blank report, that uses the command.

Modify SQL query in Crystal Reports 2013

Bonjour,
Je voulais savoir s'il était possible de modifier la requête SQL dans Crystal Reports 2013, car les bases de données de notre application pour bibliothèque utilise un format de date particulier qu'il nous faut corriger directement dans la requête SQL.
Merci pour vos informations.
Cordialement

Hello,
I wanted to know if it was possible to modify the SQL query in Crystal Reports 2013. Databases of our application library indeed use a particular date format that we need to fix directly into the SQL query.
Thank you for your information.
Best regards
Claude Marcilly
Cannes - France

Hi Claude,
If you are creating reports using tables then go in Database menu and click on show SQL query, this will show the SQL generated by crystal reports. Now go in database expert and expend your connection and double click on Add Command and past the query which was generated by Crystal and try to modify the date format and click OK.
Now you need to redesign your reports based on Add command.
or
If your reports datasource is Add command you can directly go in add command and change it.

Difference between Crsytal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4

difference between Crystal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0?
I think Crystl Reprt 2011 has more function, is it right?

Hi,
I recently attended a SAP Virtual trianing on SAP Business Objects BI 4.0.
Here are few extracts from that which probably shows some light to you:
SAP Crystal Reports 2011
1. UI and associated processing servers remain the same as CR 2008
2. Incremental update to CR 2008 with a few new features*
3. Continue to provide current CR 2008 functionality as-is for existing customers
SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0
1. Major update & redesign of the Crystal Reports Designer and associated processing servers
2. Focus on streamlined report design, reporting against BI 4.0 Universe, & reporting against SAP BW data
3. Provide the foundation for all future releases of Crystal Reports
Differences between these two releases:
Data Source & Usage Type                                       General Recommendation

Query regarding Crystal Reports Server

Hi,
I am new to Crystal Reports.
I have created a couple of .rpt files using CR2008 and I am loading these report files in my aspx pages using CrystalReportViewer control.
I am planning to host my webApp on IIS in production environment. Maximum simultaneous/concurrent connections to my reports would be 1 or 2.
My question is:
1. Do I need Crystal Reports Server in this scenario?
2. In future if the number of concurrent users to report increases then do I need to go for Crystal Reports Server? Will just buying and installing the Crystal reports server on production server work? or will I have to do some configuration or some other changes in the existing deployed reports? OR Will I have to deploy my existing reports on Crystal Report Server again?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Manish

BOBJ Auditing - Activity Universe and Crystal Reports

Here are the user requests. Are these possible with BOBJ Auditor? There are some sample reports in Infoview Public folders and Activity Universe connection is working.
1. User and Group access and type of access to all folders and Crystal reports.
2.Develop a report of the inventory of all scheduled reports indicating report name, location, frequency/schedule and distribution list (include FTP / file location if not e-mail).
A monthly report would probably be sufficient and would be used to facilitate management oversight of report distribution.
3.An inventory of all reports indicating report name, location, database connection, scheduled or not scheduled, when created, when last time run, by whom
4.Automated report for failed instances - Crystal report failures within folders. Most of the reports are run overnight
Environment: BOXI R2, Crystal Reports, Activity Universe

Hello,
I'll attempt to answer your question. I should point out that not everything you need is an audited event. You might be better served by the Query Builder for some of your requirements.
1. It is possible to create a list of all folders/ reports a user/group has access to. The type of access a user/group has is not audited.
2. This is possible (more or less). You might have to move the distribution list portion to a different tab/ report.
3. Again, I'm uncertain how much of this info is audited. Needless to say, a report that has never been run will have no audit information. Report name and location (i.e. within BOE) are audited. It doesn't look like the database connection is audited.
4. This is possible and relatively simple.
Best,
Srinivas

Convert BI query into Crystal Report

Dear Sir,
I have drawn a structure in BI query onto Crystal Report,
my question is that, can I delete one single field from this structure on Crystal Report ?
'cause when I tried to delete one single field, the whole structure is deleted.
In addition, can I change the field name(text/description) on Crystal Report ?
Thank you very much for your help.
Best Regards,
Girai

Hi,
in Crystal Reports you can still decide which parts of the underlying query you would like to use in the report.
in case you mean a actual structure in the BW query and having 2 structures overall, one of the structures becomes rows of data in your report and you could if required filter it out.
In terms of texts - you can for sure create your own headings.
