Integration Kit Question

Hello, I have a question. do we need to install BO Integration kit on the server to be able to "ungrey" datasources tab on CRYSTAL REPORTS XI 4.0?

Hi,
Crystal REports for Enterprise 4.0 is using the semantic layer from the BI platform. So you need to configure a universe or a direct connection to BW first and then you can use that connection in Crystal Reports for Enterprise.

Question abt INtegration Kit

Hi Gurus,
I have few doubts need clarification:-
1] Data Integration kit is required only for integrating Crystal report with BI. Is that Correct?
2] In big environment should it be installed on every system or on the application server?
3] In corporate environment how does BO EDge Series works. My understanding is that itshould be installed on every system. Is that correct?
4] We do not need any integration kit to integrate BO Edge Series with BI. We just need to establish connection. Is that correct?
Relly need help.
Regards

1] Data Integration kit is required only for integrating Crystal report with BI. Is that Correct?
It's called the SAP integration kit not data. It is required for server and Crystal reports.
2] In big environment should it be installed on every system or on the application server?
Both BOE servers and app servers
3] In corporate environment how does BO EDge Series works. My understanding is that itshould be installed on every system. Is that correct?
Edge is like a BOE server with app server but there is an edge version with the int kit already built in (ask a sales consultant about this) Also do not use WACS if you plan to use the int kit use tomcat or other app server.
4] We do not need any integration kit to integrate BO Edge Series with BI. We just need to establish connection. Is that correct?
If you have the version with the kit already built in then no, if not you may need to change versions or add the kit (I'm not 100% on this point as I usually work with BOE not edge)

Tim

Error while updating SAP Integration Kit XI 3.1 to SP3

Dear All,
I have updated BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 and Integration Kits for SAP XI 3.1 to SP3.
The update of BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 was fine. While updating IK for SAP, the installation shown the following error
sapweb_rri.dll failed to register.
sapweb_parameter.dll failed to register
Then I completed the installation by 'Ignore' ing the above installer informations.
Now I am getting the following error
"Account information not recognized: Plugin Manager error: Unable to locate the requested plugin secSAPR3 on the server. (FWB 00006)"
Before the update, the setup was working fine.
Does this ignored error caused the problem?
Please help me to resolve the issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Yuvaraj

Thank you.
I have the following questions, for this full installation of IK SP3,
I have imported transports from IK XI 3.1 for R/3 and BO connection in R/3.
Does the transport that comes with IK SP3 is modified?
And also some reports are developed based on the datas from R/3.
Does this complete uninstallation of IK affects the existing contents?
Regards,
Yuvaraj.

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

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

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

Hardware Requirements - SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Integration Kit

Experts,
We are going to prototype Xcelsius and Analysis on SAP BI data. For this reason we are going to implement the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Integration Kit. As in we are getting a trial version from SAP. We have built a SAP BI Client 7 with ehancement pack 1 SP6 on a AIX server.
Do you know whether we need addiotional hardware to install the BO software. I presume one needs an application server of some sort? What is best practice in this, machine wise, operating system etc?
Though there is a lot of documentation availbale on the web, I cant find a simple server architecture.
I am useing the following documents as a guide, it says BO 3.0 but also relevant for 3.1 I presume?

It would be great if you could answer the questions above! Cheers.
Thanks, GruttePier

Hi,
the portal runs on a server. What is wrong? I have done everything exactly as documented.

Explore SAP CL cluster table folder using Crystal Integration Kit

Dear All,
I am a SAP FICO consultant and have just installed the SAP integration kit and CRYSTAL 2008 with a Business Object consultant. We planned to access the SAP cluster tables and replace some ABAP reports with CRYSTAL and Business Objects Reports.
We have encountered the below two key problems, which I am hoping you can help with:
- I am only able to view the three folders stated (CL, DD & FN) after giving the CRYSTAL User ID full SAP_ALL access and not with the limited access in the installation guide, profile CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT.
- I can not see any cluster tables within the CL (Cluster) folder as expected and only see data in the FN (Function) & DD (Data dictionary), even after giving the CRYSTAL ID the SAP_ALL access.
Please can you assist from your experience of implementing the Integration kit with SAP ERP?
Products used: SAP ECC6, CRYSTAL 2008 SP2 and current Integration Kit.
Kind Regards,
Mo.
Edited by: Mo Habib on Nov 6, 2009 2:26 PM

Thanks for you replies and I also had a look at Ingo's blog "BusinessObjects and SAP Part 4". The blog indicates that the CL folder is not for the standard cluster tables but specifically for ABAP clusters. Hence why I can not see any tables within this folder as they have to be mapped and setup in SAP if required.
My installation must therefore be correct and I should just use the DD folder for accessing SAP cluster tables? Many thanks for your help and if you can confirm my above assumption then I will mark question as answered.
Cheers,
Mo.

Integration with SAP BI - SAP BO XI integration kit or PerformancePoint?

Hi all,
We would like to get some thoughts on SharePoint integration with SAP BI.Could you please help us in solving the following questions:
1. Which one is better? SharePoint integration through PerformancePoint Server 2007 or SAP Business Objects(SAP BO XI integration kit)?
2. What are the starting point(system requirements) to develop a prototype on both the methods?
I was able to find some info on both PPS and SAP Business Objects from the sdn forums and also from sdn documents(those were really helpful,thanks!) but it didnt provide a detailed insight into which one to opt for or how you can goahead.If someone has got more info on this please let us know.
Thanks
Kukku

Hi Sergey,
That was really a very helpful peace of information on what I was actually looking for!
So as per my understanding PerformancePoint Server cannot report directly from SAP ERP(you mean SAP BI specifically right? ).So is there any third party software that we need to use for PPS integration with SharePoint?Are we still trying to connect to SAP BO or directly to SAP BI.
Also can you provide some info on what kinds of reports can we publish using PPS.
Please correct me if wrong.
We are trying to build a prototype on both type of integration.Our front end is SharePoint and our ultimate goal is to provide the SAP BI reports through SharePoint Portal.
Thanks
Kukku

Publishing Reports with BO Integration Kit for SAP

Post Author: Daniel Stoerzinger
CA Forum: General
I have the BO Integration Kit for SAP installed locally and have been able to publish the reports to the Enterprise Server. I'm also able to Open Reports from the SAP tab. However, I've created a lot of "test" reports which I no longer want to see in the list of reports. I've removed the reports from BO CMC but the Open Reports tab (SAP) still displays the ones I've removed from CMC. Where is this list stored? Are the report definitions stored within SAP? I've heard that the report definition is stored in SAP and the physical report is saved to the BO Enterprise Server. But no one within our SAP team has any idea and claim these are stored on the BO server.
(Someone tell me I'm not the only one in the universe trying to use Crystal Reports with SAP)

Thanks to Ingo Hilgefort for a reply to the same question on a very good SAP forum https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/forums.
You can use the "Crystal Content Admin workbench" (transaction /crystal/rptadmin) and delete the reports from SAP BW and BOE ins a single step
its part of the Transports of the SAP Integration Kit. You need to import the transports into the BW System

Integration Kit for SAP - Edge or XI?

Hi guys, I'm a little confused, I know that BOBJ Edge Server components is a XI, capped and intended for smaller installations. The question is, I don't see in the installation components any "Integration Kit for SAP Solutions" specific for EDGE, however I do see "SBOP EDGE BI, VERSION WITH DATA INTEGRATION (FOR SAP ERP)" that includes the Int Kit.
The question is, what happened if I installed Edge before without the Int Kit for SAP, do I have to uninstall and re-istall? or I can use the Int Kit for SAP for XI?
Thanks for your help.

mmmm, actually I had installed by mistake the Integration Kit for SAP for XI, it did let me install, after the fact I realized that I should had used the one that comes with Edge with Data Integration for ERP.
I did uninstall and re-installed the correct one, however, I also noticed that the SP2 for the Integration Kit says on the title "BOBJ XI 3.1 Integration Kit for SAP Solutions" and not BOBJ Edge. So makes me wonder if there is a real difference.

Integration kit for SAP Solutions

Hi gurus,
i've encountered a problem with BO XI 3.0 Integration for SAP Solutions.
I've installed in a virtual machine BO XI Edge series for NON-SAP solutions evaluation copy,when I try to run web InfoView everything working fine. The infoview path is http://<servername>:6405/InfoViewApp and it take itself the "logon.jsp" file.
Now my goal was connect BO and my BW server. I've downloaded BO Integration kit for SAP solutions 3.1 but installation locked for a WSDL (I have no idea what WSDL is) than i try with 3.0 version.
I've downloaded JCO jar and dll files (sapjco3-ntamd64-3.0.2) and putted them on the right (i think) path.
I've installed Integration kit and installation goes fine.
Now when i try to catch infoview page 404 not found Internet explorer page is show but CMS is on,intelligent agent too.
It can be a tomcat problem?
Can anyone help me?
thanks in advance!

Guys you were good!!!every installation things was right!!
I've the last question about SAP Authentication: when I try to call the SAP auth page i retrieve the follow error:
HTTP Status 404 - /SAP/jsp/auth/sapsec_logsys.faces
type Status report
message /SAP/jsp/auth/sapsec_logsys.faces
description The requested resource (/SAP/jsp/auth/sapsec_logsys.faces) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.20
I think is a Jco jar error,it's right?
In the (awesome) ingo blog there is: "put sapjco.jar file into the path C:\program files\...\tomcat55\shared\lib\, but i have not shared folder, than before installation i putted sapjco.jar into C:\program files\...\tomcat55\server\lib\ folder..was wrong?
thanks a lot guys!
