No data in Crystal report created on SAP BW BEx Query
Hi Experts,
I am trying to create a Crystal report on top of a BW query. I am able to login to the BW system and open the BEx query and the objects are coming into the crystal report.
But when I drag and drop some objects into the details area and try to preview sample - it does not show any data (it shows accessing database but doesnt bring any data)
I copied the generated SQL query in to the section in the BW system in transaction code 'MDXTEST' and it runs correctly and shows me the result below there.
Just to try - I unchecked 'Use MDX..' check box by following the path SAP->Settings to check if that could bring back data ... and YES that worked which means data is not coming from the BW query with MDX connection but when MDX seems to be fine and retrieve result when I run the sql statement in tcode MDXTEST.
Also when I do preview samples - I can see in SM50 in BW system that it is trying to run the report just that I am not able to see any data in my crystal report.
Any help in this regards would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sunny
Hello
The order of display of attributes in Webi and Crystal report would be different.
Collapse the infoobject and skim through the attributes, you should be able to find them.

Crystal Reports Templates usage - SAP BW MDX query data
Hi Ingo,
How are you?
I am experiencing issues with crystal reports when trying to use crystal reports templates with SAP BW data.
I have successfully created Crystal Report using SAP BW data with NodeID, ParentNodeID hierarchy, Crystal Hierarchical Grouping.
Also developed Xcelsius Dashboard using Live Office --> Crystal Report (SAP BW data) with refresh data on open.
Now trying to create a template for new crystal reports to be designedu2026
The following are observed by me:
1. When I create a crystal report using Report Wizard and select templates from the list shown, the following error displayed for SAP BW data:
2. When I try to apply template using Template Expert and selecting the report which is created using SAP BW data (and formatted), the following error displayed:
u201CCould not apply template to the documentu201D
I would like to know, whether there are known issues with Crystal Reports Templates using SAP BW data? If so, could you suggest any solutions/work around to this issue?
Thanks & Regards,
S.Salai ManimudiyanI tried the following three methods:
1. Applied all the 12 Crystal Templates
2. Applied my own reports as Template
3. Also applied Crystal Report developed using Templates Fileds.
None of the above is working.
Created a report with BW query data and try to apply all the above templates but the same issue.
If I create a report using eFashion universe and apply all the above works without any problem.
I do agree with you that templates should not depend on the data source, as it is mainly for the common/standard report page layout (to reuse)...
Could you pl. check at your end and let me know the results.
Thanks & Regards,

Crystal Reports - Problem with too long BEx Query technical variable names?
Hello!
I have Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 and the SAP BO Integration Kit XI 3.1 SP3 installed and want to access a BEx query on a BW system within my Crystal Report.
The problem is that the name of the BEx variable is not displayed correctly (just "[]" is displayed for the variable name) as a parameter within Crystal Reports when I import the query. Furthermore I can't navigate through the fields of the query within Crystal Reports.
The technical names of the BEx query-variables have a length of 12 characters.
The interessting thing is that if I change the technical names of the BEx query variables to a maximum length of 8 characters everything works fine.
I use the SAP toolbar within Crystal Reports 2008 to create the report and have the "MDX-driver"-setting selected.
Has anyone ever had the same problem? Any suggestions?
I don't want to change the technical names of the variables of my queries...
thanks,
DominikHi!
Just fixed the problem: The "Transports" for the Integration Kit had to be imported at the BW-System

Failed to retrieve data from the database crystal reports 2008 in SAP B1
Hello friends,
I am using Crystal report 2008 with SAP B1 PL 8.8. When I run any report, it runs correctly from Crystal Report. But whenever I try to open the same report through SAP ( Tools -> Preview External Crystal Report ), it prompts the parameters for that report and then open up the crystal report window and throws an Error message ("failed to retrieve data from the database. Details [Database Vendor Code: 156]").
Please any one suggest me the corrective solution.
Thanks in Advance,
Keyur Raval.I had the same problem in SAP B1 2007. Report worked fine except when it was open from B1. Generally there may be different problems. In my case the same problem was caused by using some procedure which was in a specific schema. Changing the schema into "dbo" solved the problem.

Getting No rights error in Crystal Reports connection with SAP ECC 6
I am ABAP/BI developer and would like to work in Crystal Reports 2011. Currently, We have SAP ECC 6 and BI 7 set up. I have installed trial version of Crystal Reports 2011.
I am getting error while trying to create blank report in Crystal Reports:
Create New Connection -> SAP Tables.. -> entered SAP Development server user id and password -> following error message :
LOGON failed
Details : You do not have necessary rights to design reports against the SAP system. Please check with your system administrator.
My user id has all rights in development server. So, is any special rights require? OR do we have to install any patch for Crystal Reports at SAP level?
Please guide me.Hi,
To be able to report off an SAP data source in Crystal Reports, request the SAP Administrator to set the appropriate authorizations for the user.
For a list of authorizations that are necessary for each type of SAP connection, consult the document:
BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Installation Guide
In the "Authorizations" chapter, there is a description of each authorizations needed for each type of connection and actions.
( The document is attached to this SAP Knowledge Base Article in the attachment section )
In addition to the authorizations specified in the SAP Integration Kit Installation Guide, the following authorizations are required:
For Authorization object: S_RFC with Field name: RFC_Name. According to the installation guide the values should be: SYST, /CRYSTAL/OPENSQL
Additionally you will need the value: SUSR as well.
For Authorization object: ZSEGREPORT with field name: ACTVT. According to the installation guide the value is: 02 (Change)
Additionally you will need the value: 01 (Create or generate) as well.
Thank you. -
Crystal Reports 2013 on SAP BW
Hi Gurus,
We are trying to establish connection between Crystal Reports 2013 and SAP BW 7.4. Could you please let us know whether we can create Crystal Reports on following BW objects or not?
-BW BEx Reports
-BW Cubes
-BW DSOs
-BW Master data Info Objects
-BW Multi Provider
Regards
ViswanathHi Manoj,
Using the SAP BW MDX Query driver, you can design formatted Crystal reports that are based on data that is stored in SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW). You base these reports either on queries that are created with SAP Business Explorer (BEx) Query Designer, or directly on the cubes in BW.
See this : Crystal Reports 2011: Connect to an SAP BW data source

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.
ThanksPost Author: A Kumar

Date data from Crystal Report one day less than Date from Source
Hi,
I am creating a Crystal Report 4.0 for Enterprise Users (Client Version only) based on a BEx query. I have a field called 'Date' that I am bringing over from the BEx query. It has a format of MM/DD/YYYY. When I view the 'Date' in Crystal Reports, it is displaying as 1 day less from the actual data. For example, in the BEx Query, 'Date' = 11/01/2011. In Crystal Reports, it is showing up as 10/31/2011, which is one day behind. I'm not sure what's going on.
Please help!Well, this is as weird as it gets!
Here are the observations on SP02:
1) The Date Characteristic is a day off in the report while the 'Key' shows correct date
2) It displays in the '30.01.2011' (DD.MM.YYYY)format
3) When you right-click this field to change the date format, the date option is missing
4) You create a formula to see if this is a date and it returns True. The formula you can try is :
isdate(). It returns False for any other function like isnumeric() etc
5) So, this is a date filed, or CR4E thinks this is a date field, however doesn't let us change the format
6) You cannot use this field with date functions like cdate(); weird!
7) The only way you can show it the way you want is to write this formula:
*mid(,4,2)&"/"&left(,2)&"/"&Right(,4)*
This is still a string field, however displays as MM/DD/YYYY.
In Crystal Reports 2011, however, the following formula on the same date field returns a date value, meaning you can further right-click this formula field to change the date format like a normal date field:
cdate(tonumber(Right(,4)),tonumber(mid(,4,2)),tonumber(left(,2)))*
The same formula, however, throws a 'String is non-numeric error in CR4E and I found that it doesn't like this:
*tonumber(Right(,4)) ; same error
I've tried a lot of combinations to make this a date field in CR4E, however none works!
So, the only option is to use the formula that I mentioned above.
P.S: If you install Patch 2.10, you'll notice that the Characteristic value shows the correct date. For some reason though, it is in the same format as the 'Key' and if we wish to change the date format, the only possible workaround is to extract the numbers and join like I suggested above.
Hope this helps!

Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports?
Hi Friends,
Can anyone send me a Step- by- Step on How to Load Excel data into Crystal Reports? Pls help me. Thanks in Advance.
VijayIt's also important to 'prep' the excel file prior to connecting to it.
Give the data tab a meaningful name
Make sure the column headers are unique and that every column has a header
Delete any blank tabs
If you have trouble with Excel changing the data type of a field (say, a social security number you want to be a string value rather than a number so you don't lose leading zero) an alternative would be to save the spreadsheet file as a CSV, create a schema.ini to specify the data types for each column (example below) and use the same steps to connect except instead of choosing Excel 8.0, scroll to the bottom and choose Text. You have to make sure the CSV file is in the same folder as the schema.ini file that defines the columns.
Schema.ini example:
200912PUSD.csv
ColNameHeader=True
Format=CSVDelimited
MaxScanRows=25
CharacterSet=OEM
Col1=SSN Char Width 9
Col2=LAST_NM Char Width 25
Col3=FIRST_NM Char Width 25
Col4=DOB Date
Col5=STDNT_ID Char Width 10
Col6=SORTKEY Char Width 10
Col7=SCHOOL_NM Char Width 30
Col8=OTHER_ID Integer
Col9=GRADE Char Width 2
The filename in the first line needs to have the [] brackets around it, but I couldn't get it to display in this forum correctly.

Problem to run the Crystal report inside from SAP B1 based on SQL views.
Hello,
I have a problem to run my Crystal report inside from SAP B1 which is based on SQL views.And the SQL views are stored in a separate database in SQL server.The error which i am getting is saying the the tablename does not exist.What i need to do in order to sort this problem.
Great if somebody can help me to sort out this so that i can run my report based on SQL views stored on separate database other than SAP databases inside from SAP B1.
Edited by: rozenagrawal on Apr 19, 2011 11:51 AMTry using a SQL synonym in your company database for the views outside the company database. I don't know if SBO will let you get away with it, but its worth a shot.
If your company database is MyCompany and you have a view called MyView in Views database, assuming the view belongs to schema dbo, and you want the synonym to belong to dbo schema in your company database, run this:
Use MyCompany
go
create synonym dbo.OutsiderView for
Views.dbo.MyView
go
select * from OutsiderView
The select statement should return the contents of MyView in the Views database while you are connected to your MyCompany database.
For more info, see the Books Online for MSSQL on topic synonym.
You will need to change your CR options to include displaying synonyms along with tables, views, etc. You may also need to grant select to B1 users.

Samir GandhiHi Neetu,
Do you wish that at all customer site all concern involved in implemtation do the same work ?
I believe ERP is meant for single entry system, and it should be true for implementation also, why to invest man hours for the same task ?
I expect it standard reports should be released by SAP, so that speed of implementation improve, we have more nos. of satisfied customers.
customised reports is all together different and it is understood that it is needed to be developed after study the exact requirement.

I have linked my first Crystal report into SAP (2007A), but when I try to run it I get an error.
Msg header "SAP Crystal AddOn"....Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms, Version = 12.0.2000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I searched the SAP forums, but found nothing regarding this error. Anybody have an idea how to fix? I can't see my Crystal report. Does the report need to be stored in a specific location for it to be called from SAP? I was able to browse to it when I setup the link in SAP.
Edited by: shredder on Nov 17, 2009 11:52 PMHi Shredder ,
Actually you should have posted in reporting and printing forum ..anyway close your previous thread too..
and please take a look at this
*I copy from the other thread *
Client you need to install .net framework 3.5 and Crystal Run time to run reports.
in the client make sure the shared directory is accessible from run without any password
and in the add on go to report properties and set the path to the shared folder .rpt files and apply changes
use OLE DB connection

Stored Procedure for displaying data in Crystal Reports
Hi I am new to Oracle & Crystal Reports,so can any one please give me sample stored procedure to display data in Crystal report from Oracle by passing rwo input values.
from site:-
Crystal Reports will only support the return of a single refcursor from Oracle. Even the latest and greatest version 10 doesn't allow you to return more than one recordset at a time. You could add one more step to your procedure that would join up the output of the multiple refcursors into a PL/SQL table and then fetch the result set out through a single refcursor. That way you are using temporary space that will be cleaned up as soon as the connection is terminated and will only be returning a single refcursor
