Question on crystal report connections

Hi,
Not sure if i'm at e right forum. But I have this question, can anyone help me with it?
I'm developing on ASP .Net 2.0 + Crystal report (Version=10.2.3600.0), I got to know that my client actually only have license to run Crystal report with concurrently of 3 max active connection per time.
Is there anyway to detect the number of connections currently being used? Or anyway to return a significant error/status to inform user that there is no active connection available for usage at e moment?
Either that, or how crystal report actually determine the number of connections?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the answer.
But it will be better if i can know what is the return error code or status when the crystal report(CR) hits the max (of 3 concurrent user). I been searching high and low for it, but failed to do so.
I was hopeing that I can create a function or something to detect the error code or status return when CR hits its max.
I'm developing on VS 2005 With crystal report, which comes along with it. If i'm not wrong its CR 9. Correct me if I got e versioning wrong. =)
Any idea?

Changing Crystal report connection - another question

Hi All,
I have to change the conneciton for crystal reports that resides on the CMC.
I saw some code examples that looks promising, but I encountered some problems in opening the report as a ReportClientDocument ocbject.
I use the following code:
IReportAppFactory rptAppFactory = (IReportAppFactory) enterpriseSession.getService("", "RASReportService");
IInfoObjects objs=iStore.query("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_KIND='" + CeKind.CRYSTAL_REPORT);
    Iterator objsIter = objs.iterator();
    ReportClientDocument rcd = null;
    while(objsIter.hasNext()) {
        Object obj = objsIter.next();
        rcd = rptAppFactory.openDocument((IReport)obj, OpenReportOptions._discardSavedData, Locale.getDefault());
But I get an error when trying to open the document:
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.crystaldecisions.proxy.remoteagent.ICommunicationAdapter.setProductLocale(Ljava/util/Locale;)V
     at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.managedreports.ras.internal.RASReportAppFactory.a(Unknown Source)
     at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.managedreports.ras.internal.RASReportAppFactory.a(Unknown Source)
     at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.managedreports.ras.internal.RASReportAppFactory.openDocument(Unknown Source)
     at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.managedreports.ras.internal.RASReportAppFactory.openDocument(Unknown Source)
Well, the object IReportAppFactory is from cereports.jar library, and the ICommunicationAdapter is from CrystalReportsRuntime.jar library
Can anyone please help with that issue please ?
I just have no idea what's going on there...

Hi
I am trying to do the same thing......
try substituting rcd = rptAppFactory.openDocument((IReport)obj, OpenReportOptions._discardSavedData, Locale.getDefault());
for
rcd = rptAppFactory.openDocument((IInfoObject)obj, OpenReportOptions._discardSavedData, Locale.getDefault());
or something like this:
while(objsIter.hasNext()) {
        IInfoObject obj = (IInfoObject) objsIter.next();
        rcd = rptAppFactory.openDocument((obj, OpenReportOptions._discardSavedData, Locale.getDefault());

Crystal Report Connectivity to Function module

Hi,
I have a crystal report which is connected to a Function module in ECC(dev). After the function module moved to Quality I could repoint the crystal database to Quality. Later, some changes were made in the function module fields (eg: change in field length etc) by the field names were kept same. now when i try to repoint the database it says field not found and the report canvas becomes blank. but I can see the fields in the field explorer.
is there a way to correct the error?
Thanks, Arka

Hi Arka,
When you open the report then log into the DB and then click on Database, Verify Database. This should update the database info and changes in the report. CR keeps track of the DB it's connecting to so if you make s changes you must Verify the database to update the info in the RPT file also. Be sure to save the report.

There is a specific set of authorizations that you need to provide to your SAP user to be able to create CR reports against SAP data source. Check in the "SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Integration for SAP Solutions Installation and Administration Guide" chapter 13 called "Authorization".
You can download this guide in the following URL: ht[http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700000559912010E/xi31_sp3_bip_sap_inst_en.pdf|http://service.sap.com/sapidb/011000358700000559912010E/xi31_sp3_bip_sap_inst_en.pdf]

Crystal Report connecting Multple ECC systems

Hi,
I am working on crystal where I compare the data between to two diffrent databases(ECC tables). I am using SAP Table, function mudule option to create connection.
I have built a main report against ECC system A and imported a sub report built on ECC system B. Now I see that connection in my main report is overwrting the connection in the sub report. If I change the connection in the subreport with set data source location it changes the connection of both sub report and main report. After I deploy this report to infoview, in cmc I see only one database connection.
Is this a bug or can we have only one connection to ECC system per one crystal report even if it has sub reports?
Thanks

Yes that happens automatically, I just checked the same logic with universes built against oracle data source, I could see two coonections in the CMC. Its like its there is this issue when I am connecting to sap tables directly

LCM can not map Crystal Report connection properly

Hi,
We are using LCM to transport Crystal Report files from Devlopment server to Quality. The transports are successful, we can also see that connections (to source) also has been changed properly.
These Crystal Reports have 3 parameters. Our requirement is to refresh the report with two parameters having no value (it will produce record for all values). And it works fine in our development system.
But it is not refreshing and scheduling fails also. Error message is 'Information is needed before this report can be processed'. But if I put some value to all 3 parameters, then it refreshes properly.
But I need the report to be refreshed with one parameter vale (other will remain empty) as it works in deveopment system.
Can you please help me out?
Regards,
Avijit

Hello Dutta,
if you keep the parameters blank why not removing them ?
But thats rights, this should be a setting in your CR instead something with LCM.

Crystal Report connection to B1

Hi all,
I am new with this, but want to know where to find documentation on how to connect to B1. My main problem at this stage is that I do not see the SAP Business One Menu item in Crystal Reports. Can somebody PLEASE help?
Kind regards
Carin

Hi,
If you are not getting the SAP menu in Crystal Report then you can download and install the SAP GUI version and then you can add the BW Server details.
OR you can find the saplogon.ini in the windows directory and then you can mention the BW Host Server details in the same.
With this you should be able to get the SAP Menu. With the help of the SAP Menu you can create the CR report with the Queries.

Crystal Reports Connection Types

I have a web server that houses a db2 database. For those users who are not on the network, I would like users to run reports from the "cloud" (the internet). Does anyone know how I can do that? What connection type I can use? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Zack H.

Zack,
my team has had a bit of experience doing this and it really depends on your setup.
1) how is your db2 database exposed to the internet when one is off of your network...is it in a DMZ or is it accessible via IP without having to use a gateway like citrix gateway?
if it is accessible via IP have a look at the Wire Protocol drivers made by data direct.
/people/crystalreports.team/blog/2008/08/29/datadirect-odbc-drivers-53--for-crystal-reports-2008
2) how will your users run the reports...as Don mentioned, you have to have a method to serve up the reports first off. or they would have to have a copy of the crystal reports 2008 designer like you do and have a copy of the applicable reports.
the other thing you can look at if you don't have a setup right now is On Demand to host the reports in the cloud
http://www.ondemand.com/businessintelligence/
we have a bunch of machines in a dmz which include businessobjects enterprise to serve up the reports as well as all of the database servers themselves. the reports are accessed by the end users via opendocument hyperlinks and thus secured by infoview. in our case the database itself does not have any open ports to the internet, only infoview does.
i hope this helps out,
jw

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.

Question about Crystal Reports 4.0 and "cross database joins"

Hi everybody,
in Crystal Reports 2008 we could use the cross database joining feature to put two or more BEx queries via MDX into one report and join them within Crystal Reports. We know that this might lead to performance problems but for some scenarios this was the only solution.
Now with Crystal Reports for Enterprises 4.0 the whole connection to SAP systems will change. Will we have a chance to make one report agains two or more BEx queries any other way than using subforms. The latter will not fit our needs.
Thank you very much!
Thorsten

Hi,
Crystal Reports 4.0 is in RampUp right now. In case you are interested in the details I would suggest you join the RampUp.
