New to sap, play with .rpt reports

Hi,
I have downloaded a trial crystal report 2013 and I would like to play with some reports are running on our system but in order to don't destroy them, I want to know the next points:
How identify the version of the actual file report file .rpt or the crystal report version was made, i would like to keep the original version all the time or during the test process.
some reports are working in our system that i will make a backup for them, the question is if something is wrong with the test report, the restoration to the original state should be replace the test file for the backup file into the original folder? do we need to stop the server first? what important considerations we need take before replace a file or after replacing a file.
For the viewer of reports, do we need an additional software? we have one viewer for the actual reports but I would like to have an additional viewer for the test process, Do we?.
if you need more info about the actual system we have please let me know.
I think for the moment answering the last questions i will be able to select the right version and create a backup before testing reports.
I will appreciate a response for it

Hi Emilio
How identify the version of the actual file report file .rpt or the crystal report version was made, i would like to keep the original version all the time or during the test process.
There is no "out of the box" way of determining what version of CR the report was created in. There are APIs in .NET and Java that will tell you this, but then you'd have to create an app your self. Alternatively, download the attached app created by Don WIlliams. When you open the report in this app, it will tell you what version of the designer the report was created in (note: After you download
the file, unzip it and rename to .exe):
Note 2: You may have to install the 4.0 framework before the above app will run.
some reports are working in our system that i will make a backup for them, the question is if something is wrong with the test report, the restoration to the original state should be replace the test file for the backup file into the original folder? do we need to stop the server first? what important considerations we need take before replace a file or after replacing a file.
I don't understand. If you have a back up, why would you want to do a "restoration"? Note that restoring the report and saving it will save it as version 14.1 and there is no Save as version X.
For the viewer of reports, do we need an additional software? we have one viewer for the actual reports but I would like to have an additional viewer for the test process, Do we?.
There is a number of viewers:
1) There is a viewer in the CR designer.
2) You can download the free viewer that looks much like the viewer in the designer (but it will not let you change db connections or modify the report). Download link:
SAP Crystal Reports viewer | Crystal Solutions| Business Intelligence | SME | SAP
3) You can create your own app in .NET or Java and these SDKs have their own viewers.
4) SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform (BO Enterprise) has it's own viewers.
5) SAP Report Application Server has viewers.

Why we need ABAP if we can connect With Crystal Reports to SAP R/3

Hi,
I am new to Crystal reports.I came to know that we can connect SAP R/3 by using SAP InfoSet,SAP Table Cluster and Function connectivity in Crystal Reports.So we can generate reports for SAP R/3 database with out need of ABAP.So why we need to go ABAP module.Is there any disadvantages if we dont use ABAP to generate reports or we can use always Crystal Reports to generate Reports for R/3 database?

Hi,
it is correct that you can built a Crystal Report without the need to use ABAP, but we have lots of customers that have invested over the years into ABAP Routines and Crystal REports is able to leverage those as well. So with Crystal Reports you have the choice to leverage existing ABAP Functions as a source for reporting - which might help to leverage complex processing on the backend - or to use InfoSets and tables.

When I want to edit the report throught SAP, it opens the report on crystal report session.
The problem is when I want to save the file. It wants to save in a temporal file.
How I can solve it ? where SAP save the .RPT flie ?
Thanks

Hi,
You can save your edit CR (Crystal Report) in .rpt file.
Once you have imported CR
Admin > Setup > General > report n layout....
Select Your CR
Click on Edit button
now new window is open that is CR in editable form
Go in File Menu of CR > Save As > "Give your location"
Which will save as .rpt format....
Thanks

New to SAP PLM7.0 integration with DMS

Hi Friends,
i am new to SAP Solution PLM7.0, and also about the integration with DMS.
i wish to learn about this, so pls assist me and forward some links and documents.
that would be helpfull for me.
thanks,
udhayasurian

Ajaykumar,
You have BI and BO installed and running on good environment,Correct??
Only you need SAP Integration Kit installed.
After installing successfully.
Create master BEx query. Go to Properties -->> Extended tab -- Allow external access to OLAP (Incase of BW3.x)
Create master BEx query. Go to Properties -->> Advanced tab -- Allow external access OLAP (BI7.0)
Now go to Universe Designer:
-->> Name Universe and Click on Connection -- New
-->> Connection parameter dailog box -- It prompt for many options like:
Authentication Mode:User/Pass or BO mappings or SSO
User Name:
Password:
Language:EN
Application Server: <SAP BI system details--IP address>
System ID:<SAP BI ID>
System No:<SAP BI NO>
Logon Group:(greyed out)
Message Server:(greyed out)
-- Click on Next
-- Here, you can see all OLAP cubes ($Infocubes) and Folders for BEx query based/Multiproviders.
-- Select the required one.
-- Click Next -- Next -- FINISH
OK
Now you can see lict of *Classes and Objects* and not Universe structure as we are on SAP BI system.
(In Universe Designer window)
Go to -- File -->> Export -- (Select any folder, where you have access)
Now, *logon to Infoview*:
-- Document list
-- New-->> New Web Intelligence Document
It will list out all Universe those are exist in repository.
Choose the exported one.
Now you are in *Web Intelligence Report panel*.
-- Drag any objects like Dimension/Detail or Measure to Result Objects pane (to see them in Report)
or
Drag them to Query Filters section to restrict the data.
--Click on Run Query
-- Now Report you can see.
If you want to create Report 2:
Just Right click on Report1 and say Duplicate or New Report.
Hope I cleared all your doubts.
Thank You!!

How do I add a new worksheet to an excell file utilizing a template with the report generation toolkit?

Hello,
My vi is gathering data from a piece of machinery. At varrious points durring the process, my vi must create printable reports. I am using the report generation tool kit to do this. What I want to do is for every report generated durring the run, add it as a new worksheet in an Excell workbook. My excell template works fine for the initial master report and I can add new data to new worksheets. What I am having a problem figuring out is how do I add the new data to a new worksheet using an excel template? I have 5 different reports that need to be generated at different times with some more often than others. I would like all these reports to be in the
same master excel file. Thanks in advance

Hi Greg,
There is no built-in support in LabVIEW to add a new worksheet to an existing Excel report simply because this functionality does not exist in the Excel application itself.
My suggestion would be to open up the template you wish to use for the new worksheet. Copy the cells from the template and paste them into your new worksheet that you've created. Then close the original template and you have another copy of the template in which you can populate with data values.
I have attached an example program of how to Copy and Paste a Cell in Microsoft 97 Using ActiveX in LabVIEW to this post. Hope this helps!

How to Integrate SAP EP with SAP PI to send data for creating reports in BW

Hi Gurus
I am struck with an Object/Interafce Creation in my project. My requirement is to Integrated SAP Enterprise Portal and SAP BW using SAP Pi. I am working on SAP PI7.1. The SAP EP sits on the Oracle Database and it will send some data required for generating some reports in BW.
My question is how to integrate the above systems by which adapters and which will be the best approach. If we use PI, the major advantage is we can Monitor the flow of the messages .
Cant the BW System directly talk with the SAP EP System. If there is an approach, can we monitor the message flow with out PI involvement.
All the above mentoined systems(SAPEP,SAPPI,SAPBW,SAPSRM,SAPABAP) are in the client landscape only.
Please suggest me the approach.
Thanking you

Hi rajshekar
Thanx for the reply
In the current project we are having an Interafce which is a B pass sceanrio from MDM to BI; MDM is dat , pi is picking the data by Sender File CC and Posting the Data to BW by using Receiver File CC. this does not involve any developemnt of ESR Objects.
My current requirement also seems to be the same Pick thhe date from SP Portal and give it to BW for generaiting reports.
Can i use the SOAP at sender side and File at receiver side with out the involvement of ESR Objects.
Does the By Pass aprroach work for this aprticular interafce.
How can we integrate SAP EP with BW withour Pi?
please share any blogs or forums
please help
Thank you

I'm trying to play this new movie i bought with my macbook but every time i put the movie in it makes a noise and only stays there for 6 seconds then ejects itself how can i fix this problem?

Restart your phone,hold the home button and the off button down till the apple symbol comes up. If that doesnt fix it , you need to do a restore in itunes by connecting to itunes , click on your phones name to the left, then click restore in the center of the screen and restore from backup.
