Installig and using Crystal Report for reporting on BW

Dear Experts
We are working on BW 7.00 and do't have BO(Business Objects) . Now we wnt to install and Use crystal Report for reporting purpose. Pl. let me know whether Crystal reports can be used to extact data from BW Query or We need to have BO in order to Use Crystal Report.
Thanks in advance
Dinesh Sharma

Hello Dinesh,
first of all Crystal Reports is not a extraction tool - it is a reporting tool - which is a huge difference.
In regards to products you do need Crystal Reports, SAP Integration Kit, and SAP BusinessObjects Edge or SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise.

  • How To Execute an Oracle 10g SProc using VS 2005, for Reporting Services

    Good day! :-)
    Anybody who knows the syntax for executing an Oracle Stored Proc thru ODBC connection using VS 2005 for Reporting Services? I am having a problem about this.
    I am using the ODBC connection because VS 2005 does not support Oracle Database 10g in its Oracle Database Connection feature (only 7.3, 8i, and 9i), that's y.
    While using MS SQL Server 2000, I never encountered any problem. But using Oracle Database 10g, I find it hard to call the stored procedures, an error is generated everytime.
    Please click the link below for the screenshots:

    Please help...thank you so much.

    I'll give you updates about the use of the MS SQL Server Reporting Services with VS 2005 and Oracle, this might be helpful for those who will encounter this same ctuation in the future.
    I have discovered that if you're going to connect thru ODBC, even if the connection is successful, the user is still prompted to input a password, which should not be the case when using the Reporting Services. Another thing to take note is the issue about REF CURSOR, we're going to have problems with this. And also the syntax on how you're going to call the stored procedures (with or without input parameters).
    With modifications made through Oracle Net Manager, and I tried AGAIN connecting through "Oracle (client)" feature of VS 2005 (even if the list only include Oracle 7.3, 8i, and 9i that are supported) with some changes also, you'd still be able to generate correct data with that solution. If the configuration is correct, you just need to call the stored procedure (with or without input parameter), you won't have any problems about the correct syntax.
    I suppose VS 2005 was released earlier than Oracle 10g, that's why 10g wasn't included If ever u'd encounter the same ctuation like mine, and u need the details on how to connect, do not hesitate to ask me.

    Hi Sam
    As I said, you can tag variance of FG upto some extent to the COGS of FG...
    Also note that, w/o ML, variance is disposed off in the month of mfg, where as COGS comes in the month of sale... For eg: You mfr 100 Kgs @ Actual cost of 120, where as your std cost is 100... You sell 50 kgs in Month 1 and 50 kg in month 2
    In Month 1
    COGS = 50 (@ std cost)
    Variance = 20
    In Month 2
    COGS = 50
    Variance = 0
    Variance analysis w/o ML is always limited.. At best what you can do is draw your COPA reports on YTD (Year To Date) basis... Assuming that your closing and opening stock is more or less the same, your variance related to FG can now be analysed with COGS and revenues....
    Also, if your prod order for FG is tagged to sale order on account of MTO scenario, your COPA doc for variance will have customer info as well
    With ML in place
    Variance of SFG can be rolled upto FG... i.e. Say, variance in SFG is 20 USD... Std cost of FG is 125 USD... When you roll up the variance to FG, your FG valuation will become 145 USD....
    Also, if part of the FG is sold off, then prorata variance will go to Inventory and the rest can be taken to COGS.. i.e. not only FG, you can also revaluate your COGS with ML...

I often have a recurrinig message to send, after a repeating event, and need to enter the same short message each time. It would be nice to have this short message stored and selectable so that I do not need to enter each time.

  • Can we assign 2 IPs for a SCCM 2012 primary site server and use 1 IP for communicating with its 2 DPs and 2nd one for communicating with its upper hierarchy CAS which is in a different .Domain

    Hi,
    Can we assign 2 IPs for a SCCM 2012 primary site server and use 1 Ip for communicating with its 2 DPs and 2nd one for communicating with its upper hierarchy CAS . ?
    Scenario: We are building 1 SCCM 2012 primary site and 2 DPs in one domain . In future this will attach to a CAS server which is in different domain. Can we assign  2 IPs in Primary site server , one IP will use to communicate with its 2 DPs and second
    IP for communicating with the CAS server which is in a different domain.? 
    Details: 
    1)Server : Windows 2012 R2 Std , VM environment .2) SCCM : SCCM 2012 R2 .3)SQL: SQL 2012 Std
    Thanks
    Rajesh Vasudevan

    First, it's not possible. You cannot attach a primary site to an existing CAS.
    Primary sites in 2012 are *not* the same as primary sites in 2007 and a CAS is 2012 is completely different from a central primary site in 2007.
    CASes cannot manage clients. Also, primary sites are *not* used for delegation in 2012. As Torsten points out, multiple primary sites are used for scale-out (in terms of client count) only. Placing primary sites for different organizational units provides
    no functional differences but does add complexity, latency, and additional failure points.
    Thus, as the others have pointed out, your premise for doing this is completely incorrect. What are your actual business goals?
    As for the IP Addressing, that depends upon your networking infrastructure. There is no way to configure ConfigMgr to use different interfaces for different types of traffic. You could potentially manipulate the routing tables in Windows but that's asking
    for trouble IMO.

  • Report asks for database login in deployed version using crystal runtime for vs2008

    I am developing an application with VS2008 .Net with an Interface to use external Crystal  reports.
    I created a Report using Crystal Reports 2011 "doku.rpt".
    I am using a CrystalReportViewer "crpv" on a form.
    I am using a ReportDocument object (Variable "ReportDocumentM"), to which I load the file "doku.rpt"  and assign the logon Settings of main and subreports (which are the same for all tables).
    Using crpv.ReportSource = ReportDocumentM I assign the reportDocument to the ReportViewer.
    On my develop System everything works fine, the Report is shown in the Viewer.
    I created a Setup for my application and isnatalled it on another System. I also installed the CrystalRuntime for VS2008.
    When I try to Show the Report, a dailog "Database Login" appears and aks for the Connection.
    where the SERVER, USERID and (sometimes the PWD) Input fields are filled with  the correct values, but always the DATABASE field is empty.
    SERVER and DATABASE fields are READONLY.
    Hours and hours I tried differnt things, I also filled the logon info of the ReportViewer himself, nothing helped.

    "Crystal ask for DB Connections on new installation"
    Correct Answer by Marc Trudel  on Jan 9, 2014 6:57 PM ' Solved Reports are all saved with SQLNCLI which is Sql Native client 9 (2005) New computers only have SQLNCLI10 which is Sql Native Client 10 (2008) Customer will either install SQL CLient 10 on all old computer and upgrade the reports or install SQL Client 9 on new computers which will avoid upgrading hundred of reports
    In my case the original Report was created on a System with both SQLNativeClient 9 and SQLNativeClient 10 on it. Because I originally used a SQL2000 database as datasource, the SQLNativeClient9 was used. It wasn't a Problem on the System when I dynamically connected to a SQL2008R" database, probably because the NativeClient9 was still there and could be used. On the other Computer only the NativeClient10 was existing and this caused the Problems.
    But I think that this is a bug in Crystal: I think ist normal, that from time to time there are changes in DataBase Connections and Clients, so the reports should be able to work also with new Clients. At least there  should be a message to inform about the Problem.

  • Join multiple fact tables and dimensions and use all tables in report issue

    Hi,
    I have a report requirements and need to use multiple fact tables and unconformed dimensions as described below
    Fact table: F1,F2,F3
    Dimensions tables: D1.....D9
    F1:(joined to) D1,D2,D3,D4
    F2::(joined to)D1,D2,D5,D6
    F3::(joined to)D1,D2,D7,D8
    D7::(joined to)D9,D8 (dimension D7 joined to two other dimensions D9 and D8
    I'm trying to use columns from almost all the fact and dimension tables but getting "Unable to navigate requested expression. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings."
    Repository is consistent and no errors and warnings.
    How can I configure the repository to develop reports using all fact tables and dimensions?
    Appreciate for your help.
    Thanks

    So you want me to convert snowflake schema to star. does it solve my problem? individual star queries are working find but when I query multiple stars together getting inconsistency errors. I removed content tables dim level totals for unconformed dimensions in logical fact LTS and set level for measures at total level for unconformed dimensions. it is still in progress and need to test.
    Thanks

  • Using Oracle Essbase For Report Purpose

  • Include a Glossary Page in a Webi report for report documentation

    Hi experts,
    My client would like to include a Glossary Page at the start/end of each Webi report. This page should include documentation/explanation of each dimension detail, measure, formula, etc shown on the report.
    I cannot find any designated location in the Webi report for documentation purpose. Assuming I have created this documentation in a word/html document, what is the easiest way of including this info in the Webi report?
    So far I can think of 2 options:
    1) Include a new report with one or more blank cells, and paste the text from the word/html document into the blank cell.
    Pros: Can be printed out together with the report contents (print both reports together).
    Cons: Considerable effort with creating this page
    2) Include a blank cell in the original/separate report, and insert a hyperlink for this word/html document into the blank cell.
    Pros: Less effort involved
    Cons: Cannot be printed out together with the report contents
    Besides these 2 options, are there better ways of creating the Glossary page?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
    Linda

    We do something similiar in that users cannot create a new document.  Users can only copy and edit the existing template for new reports.  The template has standard headers, footers and confidentiality statements that are required on all reports.
    Here are some of the standard formulas we include in the header/documentation report tab:
    ="Report Title: "+DocumentName()
    ="Run User: "+CurrentUser()
    ="Run Date: "+LastExecutionDate()
    =If (DocumentPartiallyRefreshed();"Your document contains partial data only")
    =DocumentName()
    =DataProviderSQL([Query 1])
    These formulas automatically fill in some of the basic data using option 1 from your list.
