Crystal Reports Based on SAP Function Module and Transperant Tables

Hi,
I need to develop reports based on SAP trasperant tables and to filter the records I require to use one of the function module in SAP.
I have created parameters in Crystal reports that are required for the function to execute and are included in the where clause of the query. This helped the fuction to get those parameters and execute it.
The thing is that the fuction works fine with one set of parameters and gives accurate results both in SAP and Crystal Reports.
But fails for other set of parameters.
It works fine when we directly execute function in SAP produces a record set. But, when we pass those parameters from Crystal Reports it fetches no data.
Can anybody tell me the exact procedure to use function module and transperent tables together in Crystal Reports ?
Thanks in Advance.
Niwas Joshi

Hi,
This is going to be hard to explain, however you need to recognize that the function has input and possibly output (export) parameters. Crystal Reports is able to work with these parameters. However it is up to you to figure out how these parameters are used effectively to give you the correct results when joining the function with other data sources such as transparent tables.
If you're using transparent tables and functions in a Crystal Report, then you need to link these objects in such a way so that a left outer join for example is using the function's output parameters to join to the transparent table equivalent fields. However if the table is the starting point then the joins from the table should join the Input parameters of your function.
you can set these joins in the Database menu | Database Expert | Links of Crystal Reports.

SAP NetWeaver MDM - Project and Bachelor Thesis

Hello,
I am a German student of business information systems. I will write my project and bachelor thesis about u201Chow to synchronize and interchange the master data of an existing non-sap portal, with an existing sap erp systemu201D.
Therefore I would like to use the SAP NetWeaver Platform with SAP NetWeaver MDM. The thesis shall consist of two parts. First, the project thesis shall contain the requirements analysis and the specification. The bachelor thesis shall contain the implementation of these systems.
But there is one big problem. Is there any possibility to get SAP NetWeaver for educational propose, e.g. for free or for a free trial? At the download area of the sdn webpage, I found an SAP NetWeaver 7.0 u2013 Java Trial Version. Does this NetWeaver-Version include the Master Data Management Component? Does I need any other SAP-Systems to exchange the Master Data between these two Systems?
Thanks a lot,
Christian
Edited by: Christian Beining on Jun 26, 2008 6:28 PM

Hi Christian,
you can get a trial version of MDM as a SAP customer (in Germany via your SAP software distributor). If you have only access to a SAP university system I don't think you will get access to MDM and XI (at least they don't have it at my university). But of course you can ask your professor or SAP representative maybe they can help you. As far as I know all SAP university systems in Germany are hosted centrally in Munich and I don't think that they also provide such special solutions like MDM.
Doing a similar job in my thesis I can only recommend you to do this project only then if you have definitely access to all needed systems and having some people around with knowledge in additonal needed tools like XI or administration of SAP systems. Doing it all at your own without having SAP knowledge in the important points (system and database administration, software deployment, XI) is not realistic in a 5 month period when you have to build a SAP system landscape on your own in top of your project.
Hope that helps. BR, bd

Configure Sap NetWeaver MDM with Sap Netweaver XI

SAP NetWeaver MDM communicates with SAP NetWeaver XI by writing an XML file into a directory on a file server.
Can someone gives me an idea about the path of this file server? How can I configure it?

Hi Stan,
In addition to that Harrison told you,if you want automatic syndication of records ,then you must have to use syndication server.In case of syndication server the path of output file is always fixed and you cannot configure it.Path will be as follows:-

SAP MDM Root Directory\Server\Distributions\<server name> \ <Database instance name>\<Repository name>\Outbound\<client System code>\<Output Port Code> \Ready\
If u want scheduled syndication of records(i.e. in batch mode) ,then u can use syndicator batch.And for manual syndication ,use syndicator .Both of these components will syndicate file where ever u want/specify on the file system.
For more details about syndicator batch

Not able to merge dimensions objects on webi report based on SAP query

Hello
We are using SAP BI 7.0 , BO XI 3.1 sp1
I have two queries in webi report. These two queries are based on the same universe. I am not able to merge dimensions from both queries as merge dimensions functionality is greyed. Two dimensions are of the same type (char) and are dimensions (not the details).
Does anyone know the reason?
Thanks

Hi,
First check your user ID has rights for merge dimension.may be you can try on other universe and see if it is still grayed out then possible rights issue.
or may be you can check below thread.

Crosstab Crystal report based on SAP BW

Hi,
I'm working on CR 2011.
We have an existing BW query with custom Characteristics structure in the "Columns" section and a custom Key Figure structure in the "Rows" section in the BW query designer.
Cell editor has been used to define formulas of the cells.
We wish to build a crystal report on top of the query.
On the crystal report on top of the query we get the characteristics structure and individual key figure elements. As already discussed in multiple forum posts, this is the expected behavior.
We are using a cross tab and in the column section, I have put the "Characteristic" structure in the "columns" section in the crosstab using the crosstab expert. This leads to horizontal column headings as per expectation.
Within the characteristics structure we have multiple fields which description "%" with different formula's defined on the BW query designer. On the Crystal Report, when we get the columns in the crosstab, we get only a single "%" field. All other "%" fields are not visible.
A. Is there a way to get all fields in in case of same description?
I tried putting in the Key Figure elements in the "Rows" section, but was not able to get desired output.
The Columns are showing values (i.e. revenue figures) instead of the revenue parameters e.g. 'Total Sales CHF'
Experts: Can you advice how this report can be built?
Any help will be appreciated
Regards,
A

For example:
in field explorer ; under database fields --> i have one object :
--> Revenue
this object have another 3 sub-objects like:
       ---> Revenue value
       ---> Revenue formatted
       ---> Revenue unit

SAP Netweaver MDM 7.1 Installation with MS SQL Database

Hello Experts,
I have installed MDM 7.1 System on IBM AIX and connected to Oracle database. I have observed whenever we create Repositories MDM Created Table Spaces/ Data files under the one Oracle_SID that is how it should be . Now we had to install MDM on windows machines using with MS SQL DB. I have installed it and connected to MS SQL Server.
The problem is when ever we create or copy new repositories it is creating new database for each repository under MS SQL Server, Although we have created a separate SQL Database and mentioned the same name while initializing the database connection.
Example while connecting MDM For first time to the DB , I have used 4 schema options , Now if i create a new repository it is creating 4 Database instances under MS SQL DB. On oracle it will just create Table Spaces.
Is there any one who worked on MDM Using MS SQL DB. Is this a problem or This is how it works on MS SQL ?
Please help , I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
As per my understanding this is the standard behavior of MS SQL Database. I think this is how it works.
Please Refer, Step III>> of this blog where he states that For each repository, there are two databases XXXX_m000 and XXXX_z000. /people/balas.gorla/blog/2006/09/08/change-tracking-in-mdm
Also refer, Here it says connect to database for repository.
Step 3) Connect to Database u2013 RepositoryName_Z000 and then open table A2i_CM_History http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10cbe10c-0654-2c10-3d8b-ff99dadc402e?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
