LabVIEW Support for Innovation Integration X5-210M

I was wondering if anyone here is using Innovation Integration X5-210M module: http://www.innovative-dsp.com/products.php?product=X5-210M
and was able to interface the acquired data with LabVIEW.
Their support is only in the form of C++ libraries and an example program. They also suggest, in a very general way, how to create a DLL for LabVIEW: http://www.iidsp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=549
I am having a hard time trying to put it together. If anyone has found a solution, I appreciate it if you guide me in the right direction. Please be specific.
Thanks.

Ghulam-
Take a look at this link:
http://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-2028 this is an example on running a C DLL in LV but the architecture should be very similar to making a C++ version. Let me know if this helps! Happy Presidents Day!!

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

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

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 Issues

Hi,
I have installed Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP5 and SAP Integration Kit XI 3.1 SP5 (server install) on a Windows Server 2003 server for a customer. Both installations completed successfully. I've also installed Crystal Reports 2008 and the Integration Kit (client install) on a client, both completed successfully. However, I have not done anything with transport files or SAP authentication, but read on...
This customer has some existing Crystal Reports (XI R2) that they use to report on data in SAP ERP.
If I open the report in Crystal Reports on the client, it refreshes successfully against the data source.
If I add the report to Business Objects Enterprise and try and refresh or schedule the report, it fails after a period of time with the following error:
"request could not be completed because a failure occurred while the report was being processed. Please contact your system administrator. [RCIRAS0546] "
It seems that there are lots of things that the SAP Integration Kit can do, that this customer don't require. For example:
- They don't need to log in with their SAP credentials, they've only got 8 users and can use Enterprise authentication
- They only want to use this to refresh and schedule Crystal Reports against ERP, they don't need to use BW
In the installation phase of SAP Integration Kit on the server, I just put "unknown" in the "BW Publisher Parameters", as I read somewhere that it didn't matter what was typed in there as it could be configured afterwards in the registry, and in any case, I don't believe I need this configured. Is this correct?
What purpose do the transport files serve; and given that I can refresh a Crystal Report successfully on the client, why would I need to do anything with those in order for reports to refresh successfully on the server?
As you can tell, whilst I am very experienced at installing Business Objects Enterprise, this is my first time working with the SAP Integration Kit, or SAP data sources, and I was unexpectedly thrown into this situation. So if anyone has any suggestions, I would be very grateful!
Regards
Darren Smith

Hi Darren,
If you have any questions regarding Integration Kit ,please post under the category SAP Integration Kit.
If you are using Crystal Reports as client you need only the following components of Integration Kit to be installed
Data access components for SAP R/3
Data access components for SAP BW
SAP authentication
SAP BW toolbar.
When you publish the crystal reports into Enterprise you would be needing the server to have integration kit in order to make it run from the server .
For the Data access components of crystal reports for IK the following Enetrprise services
are used Crystal reports page server
Crystal reports Application Server
Crystal report Job server
BW Publisher Service enables you to add content to your SAP and
BusinessObjects Enterprise repositories simultaneously.
You need to configure the SAP Gateway to configure for BW publisher.
You can deselect BW publisherthrough Custom install of SAP IK and proceed with the installation
BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP includes nine transports: the Open
SQL Connectivity transport, the InfoSet Connectivity transport, the Row-level
Security Definition transport, the Cluster Definition transport, the
Authentication Helpers transport, the Content Administration Workbench,
the BW Query parameter personalization transport, the MDX transport, and
the ODS transport
The Open SQL Connectivity transport enables the drivers to connect to and
report off the SAP system.
The InfoSet Connectivity transport enables the InfoSet driver to access
InfoSets. This transport is compatible with R/3 4.6c and later. Do not import
this transport if you are running R/3 4.6a or earlier
Row-level Security Definition transport
This transport provides the Security Definition Editor, which is a tool that
serves as a graphical interface to the /CRYSTAL/AUTH tables in the Open
SQL Connectivity transport
Cluster Definition transport
This transport provides the Cluster Definition tool. This tool enables you to
build up a metadata repository for ABAP data cluster definitions. These
definitions provide the Open SQL driver with the information it requires in
order to report off these data clusters.
Authentication Helpers transport
Note:
For NetWeaver 7.0.2 or higher, this transport will be provided as part of
NetWeaver.
This transport provides access to the higher performance user list used by
the SAP SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise security plug-in. This enhancement
frees users from having to enter their credentials more than once to access
any of the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise, R3, and BW systems.
Content Administration Workbench
Note:
For NetWeaver 7.0.2 or higher, this transport will be provided as part of
NetWeaver.
This transport provides content administration functionality for BW systems.
It is available only as a Unicode compatible transport
ODS connectivity transport
This transport enables the ODS Query driver to access ODS data. This
transport is compatible with BW 3.0B patch 27 or higher and BW 3.1C patch
21 or higher.
BW Query parameter personalization transport
Note:
For NetWeaver 7.0.2 or higher, this transport will be provided as part of
NetWeaver.
This transport provides support for personalized and default parameter values
in reports based on BW queries
BW MDX connectivity transport
Note:
For NetWeaver 7.0.2 or higher, this transport will be provided as part of
NetWeaver.
This transport enables the MDX Query driver to access BW cubes and
queries. This transport is compatible with BW 3.0B patch 27 or higher and
BW 3.1C patch 21 or higher.
Please note SAP GUI 7.10 is not supported anymore ,I think you would not find it for download in the SAP site ,SAP GUI 7.20 is supported.
Please post under SAP integration kit for further assistance.

Crystal Reports 10 and SAP Integration Kit

Hi,
we have a customer using crystal reports 10. Is it possible to use the SAP Integration Kit for version 10? When installing the Kit (Version XI 3.0) there is an error that we do not use CR 2008.
Thanks in advice
Claudia

Hello Claudia,
the SAP Integration Kit is always dependent on the product releases. there is a Crystal Reports v 10 and Crystal Enterprise v 10 and a SAP Integration Kit v 10 - but keep in mind that v 10 is already out of support.
Crystal Reports 2008 requires the SAP Integration Kit XI 3.x and BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.x

SAP Integration Kit for Crystal Reports

Hello,
I read Ingo Hilgefort's blog on BusinessObjects and SAP Part 2.
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
Does the current trial version of crystal reports available from businessobjects.com have this integration kit embedded in it?
If not, where can i find it?

Suraj

hi shenoy,
SAP Integration Kit
The SAP integration kit includes drivers to allow connectivity to both R3 and Business Warehouse (BW). In addition, it includes a BW toolbar for Crystal Reports, a specific version of InfoView with Role-based links, sample iViews for Enterprise Portal, and an SDK in Java, COM, or .NET.
Reporting off R3 Data
The kit includes two drivers to allow Crystal Reports to connect to the ABAP data dictionary via a remote function call or RFC.
The Open SQL driver allows the user to connect to SAP R3, displaying the field and the short text description of the tables and fields. The developer can then join the tables accordingly, using the database expert, and then select the relevant fields from which to report. This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.

This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.
Note
In Crystal Reports, you cannot check the SQL generated using the Show SQL Query option from the Database menu. You can check what Open SQL was generated by using SAP transactions.
The InfoSet driver allows the user to connect to an existing InfoSet, as defined by SAP transaction SQ02. Alternatively, you can use an existing ABAP query, as defined by SAP transaction SQ01. The benefit of this driver is that the user does not need to know where the data is stored or how to join the tables. Another advantage is that any prompts defined in the InfoSet become parameters in Crystal Reports.
Note
To test the InfoSet query, run the InfoSet using your SAP GUI and ensure that it is pulling the required data first before testing it in Crystal Reports.
Reporting off BW Data
When reporting off of BW data, the Business Objects' Integration Kit consists of three drivers that are used to pull data.
The BW Query driver enables the user to connect to a BW query. To enable selection of a query with this driver, Crystal Reports has its own toolbar, as shown in Figure 15.3, and the user needs to select the New Report icon from this toolbar. The user then selects the required BW query, and thus displays a listing of fields available in the query. The user can then create the report using any of those fields. Variables defined in the query automatically become Crystal Reports parameters. After the user has finished building the report, the user saves the report using the BW toolbar. This saves the report to BW, and if the user selects the option to do so, automatically publishes the report to Enterprise.
Figure 15.3. Crystal Reports after the SAP integration kit is loaded. Note the SAP menu and BW toolbar.
[View full size image]
Two new drivers have been added to the XI R2 version of the SAP Integration Kit.
The MDX query driver supports using Crystal Reports to report off either a SAP BW query or a BW Cube.
Furthermore, it adds additional functionality by providing support for
A structure in both the row and column of the BW query
Hierarchy node and hierarchy node variables
Free characteristics in a BW query
The Operational Data Store or ODS driver exposes the ODS tables, so that they look much like the tables of any relational database. However, because of the structure of the objects, it considers them to be like a database stored procedure.
Connecting to the ODS objects is not performed with the SAP toolbar described here, but rather by selecting the driver from the Data Explorer as shown in Chapter 1, "Creating and Designing Basic Reports." After the user has finished building the report, the report can be saved back to BW and published to Business Objects Enterprise by selecting the Automatically Publish to Enterprise check box, as shown in Figure 15.4.
Figure 15.4. The additional options after saving a Crystal Report to SAP BW.
Note
This publishing method requires some setup. Please refer to the Installation documentation for further details.
Note
Both the ODS and MDX drivers require SAP transports to be loaded on the SAP BW system. Please refer to the Installation CD in the Transports folder for further details.
Using OLAP or Web Intelligence to Report off BW Data
Included in the SAP Integration Kit are specific drivers to allow OLAP Intelligence and Web Intelligence to report off of SAP BW.
To connect to a BW cube or query using OLAP Intelligence, open the connection browser and select Add. Select SAP Business Information Warehouse and then proceed to fill in the relevant data, as shown in Figure 15.5.
Figure 15.5. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from OLAP Intelligence.
[View full size image]
After you are connected, select the query or cube and process to build the report, as described in Chapter 19, "Creating OLAP Intelligence Reports."
Web Intelligence is new to XI R2 and requires that a universe be built on a BW Cube or Query. However, to aid in this process, Designer builds the universe for you. To do this, select SAP from the list of connects and fill out the required information, as displayed in Figure 15.6.
Figure 15.6. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from Web Intelligence.
[View full size image]
Finish the remainder of the wizard and when you click OK, Designer generates the Universe for you. It may be necessary to move some of the objects around to suit your needs, but when you are finished, export to Business Objects Enterprise.
Note
Only the BW query driver does not require the query be released for external access. The Web Intelligence, OLAP Intelligence, and MDX drivers require the user to release the BW query. To release a query, select the query properties in the BW Query Designer and select the Extended Tab and then check Allow External Access to This Query.
Viewing the Reports
Your SAP reports can be viewed either via the SAP integration kit's InfoView or via SAP Enterprise Portal 6. The integration kit provides a number of sample iViews that can be imported by a portal administrator. These include
Folder iView The folders a user has access to are displayed, and from here a user can run her reports.
Alert iView Shows all the alerts that have been triggered by Crystal Reports. The user can then click on the report to view the report. The creation of alerts is defined in Chapter 11, "Using Record Selections and Alerts for Interactive Reporting."
Thumbnail iView This iView displays the Crystal Report as a thumbnail of the report. The user can then click on the thumbnail to run the report.
Note
These are sample iViews. The organization can create its own iViews via the provided SDK.
BusinessObjects InfoView for SAP is a unique version of InfoView designed for integration with SAP BW systems. This integration includes features such as the ability to log on to InfoView using your SAP username and password. Related to authentication is the ability to access your roles and the Crystal Reports saved to these roles. The roles are defined in Enterprise as folders. The user can also schedule reports in the different languages loaded into SAP BW. This creates an instance for each language.

SAP Integrator and Unicode

Dear all,
can anybody tell me if OWB SAP Integrator is working against SAP Unicode Systems? If yes starting with which version.
I have some ABAP Programs built with OWB 2.1 and they are not Unicode compliant.
Kind regards for help
Roman

OWB 10gR2 (with patch 5696353)supports Unicode SAP instance.
In the SAP mapping configuration, you need to set the "SAP system
version" to be "SAP R/3 4.7" to generate proper encoding for file IO.

Hello Venkatesh,
Please take a look to the following SAP note 1951805 - Adjusted Version Interoperability for Business Suite 7i2013.
It explains the version interoperability between the products and version on the Business Suite and the different SAP NW releases. In your case, both SAP BW 7.31 and SAP BW 7.02 will communicate without problem with your ERP system.
About the integration between SAP NW and BOBJ 4.1, take a look to this:
Best Practices for Integrating SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.x with SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW) and SAP ERP

As far as I know it is possible to integrate SAP BW 7.02 with BOBJ 4.1.

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?

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...?

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.

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
Andrea

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?
Alice
