Issues with Infoview data refresh on Crystal Reports based on BW BeX query

Hi all,
We applied the Business Objects XI3.1 fix pack 3.1 with Integration toolkit fix pack 3.1 in our environment.
After that we started having trouble with Crystal Reports based on BeX queries that use manual input variables.
The data refresh would not work in Infoview.
The data refresh would work using the Crystal Reports designer gui on local machine.

Hi all,
This thread is for the benefit of all the BW/BO people who faced issues with BO reports not working after certain fix pack installations.
After lot of time spent in debugging this and researching and some help from SAP, we found that BASIS had missed a step in the BO patching. This step was relating to applying some BW transports in the BW system related to the new Integration toolkit.
Please use below notes for the BW transport task of patching BOE Integration toolkit.
Refer to Note#1472104 which explains about loading the
transports when we install BO Service Packs or Fix Packs. Also please refer to the Note#1271751 for the advice on transports for BW systems.
Please go through page 206 (Configuring transports) in the SAP Integration Kit installation guide. You can download this document at below link.

Refer to Note#1345919 which explains about the process of loading transports for SAP IK.

  • Crystal Reports 2008 and SAP BEX query.  Issue in retrieiving multiple recd

    Hi All,
    I have designed a crystal report which has BEX query as a datasource. The values from this query are placed in page header. Also two subreports are available which get data from an RFC. Main report and sub report are linked by primary key ID.
    (In the bex query one condition is implemented on a key figure)  When I run the BEX query , it retrieves single record. But when I execute the crystal report, execution says 2 records and my details section is getting repeated.
    I am unable to use filter as it is a keyfigure.
    Any suggestions or  help here is highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Surya

    Hi,
    BEX query retrieves only one record (In the bex query one condition is implemented on a key figure) When I run the BEX query , it retrieves single record). I am puzzled on how the crystal is retrieving two records.
    Actually infocube has 2 records one with status "active" and the other with status "postponed". Some other fields also will vary.
    So, I cannot use this formula to supress.
    Regards,

  • Connecting Crystal Reports to SAP BW BEx query

    Post Author: mfrank
    CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
    We have used Crystal Enterprise 8.5 to connect to an SAP BW BEx query in the past, however we are having some difficulties.  Rather than trying to upgrade our old CE system, I've been told that we should be able to connect Crystal Reports (2008?) directly to the BW BEx query.  I've been trying to accomplish this, but can't seem to find any drivers that will allow the connectivity.  When I try to set up a connection using OLAP, the only two options listed are Hyperion and Microsoft OLAP.  I have an old version of Brio Query (now Hyperion, now Oracle) that does show up with a driver for BW, but this doesn't show up in my Crystal options.
    Can someone give me some advice as to how to connect Crystal Reports to SAP BW?  I realize there are licensing issues with running live data without using Crystal Enterprise (or later BO products), but I'm just looking to print a report to a PDF.
    Thanks

  • Performance issue with two Infosets in one crystal report

    I am using two infosets that are not linked together by any primary key. The main infoset had transaction records and the seconds infoset has only one record (which is a foreign exchange rate). The performance is slow and I am presuming its because there are no linked fiields between the infosets, everytime a record is read from the main infoset it goes to the second infoset and also reads the record there. Is there a way toimprove performance? How can I have the report read the second infoset only once and stiore that value to be used when reading trecords from the first infoset.

  • Crystal Report based on BW query

    We create a Crystal report (CR 2008 ) with the main report based on on Bex Query on an SAP BW Server based on an infocube and a sub report based on an SQL relational table (Table, cluster or SAP Functions) on the same SAP BW Server. The execution is Ok on the Crystal Client but when we deploy on the InfoView portal (and on CMC) we have only one connection defined (it seems it detect that it was the same server name and keep only the first connection).

    We don't use Universe (For Bex Query SAP don't recommande it) . The queries are directly embeded in the crystal report

  • Launch a Crystal Report Based on a Bus. Objects Universe with code

    Post Author: BobM

    Launch a Crystal Report Based on a Bus. Objects Universe with code
    We have purchased Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 and have designed a universe.  We have hundreds of scheduled reports that have been configured through the InfoView.  The problem is that we run these reports on a very odd date schedule and it is extremely cumbersome to go into these report definitions and change the dates in InfoView.
    We would like to be able to store all the report parameters in a table (outside of the BO universe) along with the date and time we would like it to run.  All of this would need to be tagged with the report name so we know what report we are referring to.  Then we would like to sweep this table periodically (or use some other triggering mechanism) and launch the reports as specified (hopefully) using an API/SDK (like the one that used to be available with Crystal) to launch the .RPT file and pass all of the appropriate parameters, and possibly the credentials if need be.
    In short we want to roll our own report scheduler due to some limitations we have found in the InfoView scheduler.
    My main question is, does an API/SDK exist that can launch a crystal report that is based on a Business Objects Universe?  As I had stated, it needs to be able to pass parameters in the report call.  Based on my previous projects using Crystal connected directly to a SQL Server DB, I beleive this is possible, but I would like to hear from others that may be doing something similar with a Business Objects Universe back end.
    We are using Crystal Reports XI R2.  Just to be clear, all of the functionality I specified up to the point where the report needs to be called is not an issue, we know how to do all of that.
    Thanks in advance,Bob

    With the code, you've presumably logged on to the database. To insert objects on to a new report you'd want to use code along the following lines:
    private void AddTableFromDataSet(ref CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rpt, System.Data.DataSet ds)
    ISCDReportClientDocument rasReport = rpt.ReportClientDocument;
    // Convert the DataSet to an ISCRDataset object (something the ISCDReportClientDocument can understand)
    CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRDataSet rasDS;
    rasDS = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataSetConversion.DataSetConverter.Convert(ds);
    // Add the dataset as a data source to the report
    rasReport.DatabaseController.AddDataSource((object)rasDS);
    // Add a field to the report canvas
    // Note: This is quick and dirty. No positioning, resizing, formatting, etc.
    CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ISCRResultFieldController rfc;
    CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRTable crTable;
    CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRField crField;
    rfc = rasReport.DataDefController.ResultFieldController;
    crTable = rasReport.Database.Tables[0];
    crField = crTable.DataFields[2]; // Hardcoded field "Customer Name" in the Customer table from Xtreme Sample Database
    rfc.Add(-1, crField);
    // Save the report template to disk (without data)
    //object path = @"c:\documents and settings\administrator\desktop\";
    //rasReport.SaveAs("test.rpt", ref path, 0);
    //MessageBox.Show("Done!");
    For more info, see sample apps on the following link:
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/IgBmBQ
    Also, consult your 'Report Application Server .NET SDK Developer Guide" and  "Report Application Server .NET API Guide". I'd provide the appropriate links, but you do not mention the version of CR you are using...

  • Writing and including our own customer data source to Crystal Report Design

    Hi,
    I need to create a Crystal Report based on a locally stored XML and schema. I can do this but the issue Iu2019m facing is that some tags used in the schema and the format is not supported by Crystal. So my plan is to write a database driver which will take our format and then convert it to the format Crystal supports and vise versa. To do this before writing the driver I need to know if itu2019s possible to include my custom database driver source in to the list that is shown in the Crystal Report Designer when selecting a data source to create a report.  Is there such an API available so that I can plugin my data source to Crystal Report Designer? Is this at least possible to do or is there another way?
    Hope you can help me.
    Thanks you in advance.
    Regards,
    Chanaka

    Hi Chanaka,
    Not directly. If you base your driver on OLD DB or ODBC then it will show up in those lists.
    If you are planning on selling a lot of packages then you may want to contact our OEM Sales team and sign up. You'll have more resources to do customized features like this. Not sure if we can but the option is there.
    Thank you

  • How Do I Display HTML Formatted Text From A Data Table In Crystal Reports?

    I'm creating reports in Crystal XI.  The information being displayed in the reports comes from data tables where the text is formatted in HTML.
    I've worked with Crystal Reports enough to know that HTML text pulled from a data table doesn't appear in Crystal the same way it does in a web browser.  Crystal Reports ignores all the tags (...unless I'm missing something...) and just displays the text.
    Someone far more Crystal savy than I (...who I don't have access to...) came up with a Formula Field workaround that tricks Crystal Reports into displaying some basic HTML tags.  Here's that workaround:
    <!--
    stringVar TableName := ;
    TableName := Replace (TableName, "<ul>","<br> <br>");
    TableName := Replace (TableName, "<li>", "<br>   &bull; ");
    TableName := Replace (TableName, "</li>", "");
    TableName := Replace (TableName, "</ul>","<br> <br>");
    TableName := Replace (TableName, "<a", "<u><font color='blue'");
    TableName := Replace (TableName, "</a>", "</font></u>");
    TableName
    -->
    QUESTION - Does any similar workaround exist so I can display an HTML Table in Crystal Reports?  If not, is there any way to display HTML formatted text from a data table in Crystal Reports as it would appear in a web browser?

    Hi Steven,
    To display html text in Crystal Reports follows these steps.
    1. Right click on the field and select Paragraph tab.
    2. Under 'Text Interpretation' select 'HTML Text' and click OK.
    I have tried using the way,but it never works.So reply me if there is any way to solve the issue

  • Performances with Crystal Reports (based on BW queries)

    Hi,
    I've created some Crystal reports based on BW queries, and I'm really interested in performances purposes. The BW queries I created are quick (with neither free characteristics nor hierarchies), and when I use them in a Crystal report, I identify a loss of time in the data extraction (BW --> Crystal), in the Crystal management of the layout and then in the publication to BOE.
    To be able to use Crystal on BW queries is very useful, but if the response times are too much important, that's not good...
    Is there any customizing to perform to get better performance ? Are there some analysis already performed with Performance point of view ?
    If you have any best practice or piece of advice to shorten the response time in Crystal reports, I'm really interested in.
    Thanks for your replies,
    Best regards
    Jonathan

    Hi,
    there are many SDN threads or forums dealing with the integration BW and Crystal.
    You should have a look to the forums created by Ingo Hilgefort (SAP expert on the BW-BO integration).
    You can start with that one :

  • CVC creation - Strange issue with Master data table of 9AMATNR

    Hi Experts,
    We have encountered a strange issue with Master data table (/BI0/9APMATNR) of info object 9AMATNR.
    We have a BADI implemented for checking the valid Characteristic before creation of the CVC using transaction /SAPAPO/MC62. This BADI puts a select on master data tab of material /BI0/9APMATNR and returns no value. But the material actually exists in the table (checked through SE16).
    Now we go inside the info object 9AMATNR and go to the Master data Tab. There we go inside the master table
    /BI0/9APMATNR and activate that. After activating the table it is read by the select statement inside BADI (Strange) and allows the CVC to be created.
    Ideally it should not allow us to activate the SAP standard table /BI0/9APMATNR. I observed that in technical settings of this table it has single record buffering as switched on. (But as per my knowledge buffer gets refreshed every 2 to 4 mins and not in 2 days or something).
    Your expert comment is valuable to us. Thanks.
    Best Regards,
    Chandan Dubey

    Hi Chandan,
                 Try to use a WAIT statment with 5 seconds before your select statment.
    I'm not sure whether this will work. Anyway check it and let me know the result.

  • I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s

    I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s from AT&T.  I do not download anything huge at all.
    I looked into it and figured out that the phone dials out nightly at 12:29am every night.   I went into my settings and went to general..about..diagnostics and useage..then diagnostics and useage data to see this.  I then clicked don't send...but I am still getting useage alerts.  Can anyone help me please...
    Thanks

    Honestly, from reading the thread linked, they all come off as a bunch of whiney people that cannot be bothered to help themselves.
    Little to nothing in that thread indicates an issue beyond inept consumers.  Yes, I read several pages on the incessant gripes.  Very few made any actual attempts to troubleshoot issues before whining about the "Apple issue" and those that did actual troubleshooting got their issues resolved.
    So no, Apple has nothing to fix beyond a few specific devices that are experiencing hardware issues.
    If you have actually put forth effort and done the basic troubleshooting, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.  Whining will get nothing accomplished.

  • Has anyone had issues with Administration\Data Import/Export\Data Import???

    Has anyone had issues with Administration\Data Import/Export\Data Import???
    I have a client who has recently upgraded from V2007 to V8.81. They were succesfuly  using this standard function to import supplier prices to their master price list, but now it has failed?
    I have looked at the file they are importing and it appears to be fine.
    On closer inspection, it did contain approx 46,000 entries, so I took the first 1,000 and created a test file, which imported fine.
    The only issue I found was Speed, with the test file of 1,000 records taking about 30 Mins to import. This appeared to get slower and slower the further through the file it got!
    Based on this, I have estimated that the whole file would takle about 13 hours to import. The client say that when they used to run it on version 2007 it was far quicker?
    In practice, it does appear to run, but the speed is the issue. Having said this, I set the whole file to run last night (over night)and this morning it had appeared to hang after about 2,307 rows, with nothing else being updated.
    Has anyone any ideas or is aware of performance issues like this?
    Thanks,
    Ian

    Always an option, but would you give your clients access to this tool?
    Not sure really.
    I have uploaded a copy of their database onto my test system and run the same routine. Its equally as SLOW
    I can't gauage if its an issue with 8.81 that 2007 didn't have, as I only have the client's word on it, however I have no reason to disbelieve them.
    Kind regards,
    Ian

  • Issue with 2LIS_02_SCL Data source

    Hi Everybody,
    I am facing the below 2 issues with 2lis_02_scl data source,
    1) This is fetching only the records  ETENR (Delivery Schedule Line Counter) value with ' 1 ', It is ignoring others ex:2,3 and 4. Hence Data is not reconciling with ECC system.
    2) The standard field GLMNG is not getting any data, Data was existed in table(EKET) level. So i have written the code and data is coming now. But the problem is, This is not considering the ROCANCEL indicator it seems. All the other key figures values are coming in with Negative sign When ROCANCEL Value is ' X ' or ' R ', But this field is getting all the positive values irrespective of ROCANCEL indicator. Hence showing the incorrect values compared to the ECC.
    Can anybody help me on this,
    Regards,
