Run a Crystal Report ( with SAP BW Query ) on BO XI R2 SP2
Hi SAP Guru,
In one customer, we want integrate SAP BI 7.0 on Business Objects XI R2 SP2 ( Full Control Right ) to delivery dedicated reports to target users ( Scheduling )
We strart with a simple query that it works fine on Bex..
The integration Kit for SAP was installed on BO server and transports on SAP BW Server (based on Thread of Ingo).
For scheduling, I create a Business View based on my BW query and I create my crystal report. Everything work fine, when I launch my report localy on my desktop.
The problem arrives when I want schedule my report on the CMC or in infoview. I received a error message :
Failed to open the connection. D:ApplBusiness ObjectsBusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5DataprocSched - system - ~tmp148860c59ff44c6.rpt
I try to schedule a report without Business View but I receive the same message.
Questions :
1 ) Is the Integation Kit for SAP is enable for this environement ( SAP BI 7.0 and BO XI R2 SP2 ) ?
2) Have you any suggestion of resolution for my problem ?
If you need more info, I will update my thread..
Thanks in advance for your help...
Cédric
Thanks for your quick reply !!!
are you able to run your report on-demand in the InfoView?
--> I receive my error when I open/run the report.
Which version of CR Designer are you using?
--> CR 11.5.9
Any chance to upgrade? There is already SP6 available for XI R2.
--> We project to migrate to R3.1 this year but we want to show report earlier ( if it's possible on R2 of course ).

Re: Crystal Report and SAP BW Query with Variable
Crystal Report 2008 V1 SP3 and SAP Integration Kits 3.1 SP3 installed on my client machine.
I can open SAP BW Query in Crystal Report. However, in the Field Explorer >Database Fields, I dont see to be able to expan the Query and see it Key Figure/Characteristic.
I noticed this happen only if we have Variable defined in the Charactics.
If the characteristic has no variable, then I can expand the Query under Database Fields.
Do you have this problem?Yes, once I have imported the new SAP Integration Kits XI 3.1 SP3 transports into BW system, I can now expand the it.
I can now see the Variable in Crystal Report.
Thanks! -

Crystal report from SAP infoset query
Hi All,
I am facing a problem in a crystal report which is based on Infoset query. When I run the report after passing the parameters it gives me an error "Database error occured" "Parameter field value does not exists" "RFC Closed"
But if I run the same Infoset query from SQ01 I am able to run it with same paramenter and it returns many records.
To be very precise I am running the best practice crystal report "Cost Analysis - Planned vs. Actual Order Costs" which is based on infoset query CO_OM_CA_20_Q1.
It throws me error that "Controlling Area does not exists".
Did anyone faced similar problem?
Best Regards,
ChetanHi,
log into your SAP ERP system using the SAP GUI and choose in the SAP Menu the following path:
SAP Menu -> Accounting -> Controlling -> Cost Cetner Controlling ->Environment->Set Controlling Area.
Set the desired controlling area for your user there (DO NOT FORGET TO CLICK ON THE DISKETTE ICON) and try again.

Crystal reports with SAP BI Infocube
All,
I need to create a report from the BW Infocube . I have the SAP integration installed and working properly and I am able to create reports from Bex queries, but I am unable to see any Infocubes in the. Do I need to generate the Infocube as an export data source in order to use this as the data source for generating the report in Crystal reports? Any advise....Tanu,
If you want to see your BEX Queries on Crystal reports then there is setting you have do in your Bex Queries. On the Bex query design choose your query properties and on your far right hand side you will see the properties tabs with General, variable Sequence etc. you will also see Tab " Advanced" choose that tab and select the check box "Allow External Access to this Query". you will be able to see your query on Crystal report .
Hope it helps,
Cheers,

Connecting Crystal report with SAP MAX DB DATABASE
Hi friends,
Can we connect SAP MAXDB database with crystal report to generate reports.
If yes pls give me steps to do the same.
basically we want to generate few reports in crystal report(separate from SAP ABAP)
rgds
Bi> Can we connect SAP MAXDB database with crystal report to generate reports.
Technically that's possible -y es.
> basically we want to generate few reports in crystal report(separate from SAP ABAP)
You can use the SAP standard tools (SAP Query - SQ00) or Quick Views (SQVI) to do the same in ABAP.
If you connect to the database with an external tool you have to use a user who has ALL permissions on the database, means, a full table can accidentally be deleted. The user can also use ALL tables.

using 'Crystal Reports AddOn' it is missing out the data e.g. it is showing Page 1 and then Page 4 & 5.
Page No. 2 & 3 is missed out. For your information it was running fine from the past two months now I am

Crystal Report and SAP BW Query
I have developed the Crsytal Report (ontop of SAP BW Query), and save this report into my local c:\ drive.
Now I made some changes to the BW Query (this is the Datasource of my Crystal Report) to include new Key Figure and Characteristic via BEx Query Designer.
Now when I open my existing Crystal Report, I dont get see the new key Figure/Characteristics that I just included to the BEx Query. Why? Is this bug? How can we update the Crystal Report automatically when the underline BEx Query has changed?Hi,
We have similar case when the underline BEx query has been changed.
In our case, the Variable value is not appear in CR.
Example, a Variable has been created and assigned to the Cost Centre.
In BEx Query, I can see the value of the Cost Centre and can therefore select the value from the Variable field.
In CR, I have the Cost Centre prompt as parameters, but there is no value for me to select.
Database Verify has been performed.

For functions to be used in a report, they must meet two conditions:
