SAP BI upgrade causes Bw Crystal Reports to hang or timeout

We recently upgraded or patched our SAP BI to Service Pack 8 from service pack 4. In doing so my SAP BW Crystal Reports have stopped working correctly. It is only reports that are using a BW query that is the product of 3 multiproviders being joined together. They ran in less that 1 minute before the upgrade and are now timing out. If I try to run them in Business Objects they fail after running for an hour with a database connection error.
Has anyone experienced this same problem?

Hi Tina,
Sorry, CR and BOE does not have a Service Pack 8 so what I meant was you are likely in the wrong forum.
Try this link and look for something that looks familiar for which ever product you are using:

SAP 8.8 - statement in crystal report

Hi,
We have imported layout and reports available in SAP 8.8 Information Center, however, Customer statement (in Crystal version) does not seem to be part of it.
Will statement in Crystal report version be released in any near future?

Hi Paulo,
I am aware that the Crystal report layout available for download. Unfortunately Customer statement is not one of them.
Yes, it is good that Crystal report is provided as a report writing tools. However, we need to look beyond that.
Customer Statement is expected as standard report in all accounting packages and is a document that needs to be sent to third party, ie the customers.
Therefore, the presentatipon of it is important and also the information required is often more than what the existing one has.
The problem is, the data on the existing customer statement are populated by the program and what we can see is just field type "text".
The following screnarios are not taken care of.
Example:
1. It is normal that there are part payment invoice.
The normal request is showing original invoices amount, applied details (ie the receipts/credit notes applied against it) and also the outstanding balance.
2. Posting Date and Document Date are not the same.
SAP B1 allows posting date and document date to be different, but the Document Date fields is not avaialble in PLD.
3. No transactions available for the period.
Customer has no transaction in 1 March 2009 - 30 Apr 2009, however, there are opening balance prior to March 2009.
It is normal expectation that when you run the customer statement for 1 March 2009 to 30 March 2009, it will still produce a statement, with the prior balance row populated.
However, it just does not print the statement at all.
So, Customer has not choice but to keep posting date from blank.
These are just some of the problems.
I would hope SAP could look into this standard report, to add to the list, Stock Aging and Bank Reconciliation report should also be looked into.
Regards,

Call SAP transaction out of a Crystal Report

Hi there,
is there a possibility to call a SAP transaction and maybe even pass a parameter (like e.g. project number) out of a Crystal Report?
Are there any SSO scenarios?
Thanks in advance
With kind regards
Sebastian

Crystal reports / business objects - RAS timeout issue

Hi,
I am experiencing a problem in my Java application in viewing a report generated by Crystal Report. Let me start off by saying I'm not entirely sure that the problem is with Weblogic, but at the moment it seems likely to be.
The Java app uses the RAS in Business Objects to get/display a report. There is a timeout setting on the RAS server and once this has elapsed, the next request from the Java web app causes a timeout error. Code in the Java app handles the timeout and makes a new connection to the RAS and displays the report (the error and re-connection is all seamless to the end user).
This was all working fine until recently when the server was upgraded from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003. Now when the Java app makes a request after the timeout has elapsed there is no error returned and instead the process continues and a blank page is shown on the web page.
On the Business Objects side of things, one of the log files states a "received invalid request" message which seems to indicate the Java app is sending it something unrecognisable. So my question is, are there any known issues with Weblogic server under Windows 2003 that could be causing this problem? I'm running version 8.1 SP3.
Since the problem has arose I've tested the Java app on a Windows 2000 and Windows XP environment (both 8.1 SP3) and the timeout occurrance and handling works as expected. I've raised a support request with Business Objects but from previous experience I know they will take a while to respond. So any help about this from you guys will be much appreciated.

SAP Crystal Reports 2013 Hangs

I have installed the trial version of CR 2013. When I start the program, it just hangs. I have to "end task" with the Task Manager.
This seems to be very odd. Install a product for test trial and it hangs.
I am running Windows 8.1.
Any suggestions of how to resolve this?

Hi William,
if you search here on SCN there are some posts discussing that CR is hanging after installation. See e.g. here:
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3441650
I'd suggest to re-install it and as suggested in forum post above install it again with removing unnecessary data access components under Data Access.
cheers

Crystal Report Layout With Prompts SAP BO v8.8

Forum members,
I can successfully import a Crystal Report with parameters as a REPORT type into SAP BO 8.8. But when I attempt to upload the same report as a LAYOUT type, I receive the error, "Missing Parameters" and the import process halts even when I set a value as the default value for the parameters. I have two questions:
1. Does SAP BO v8.8 support Crystal Report parameters in print layouts? If it does,
2. How do I resolve this error message and get this functionality to work?
Thanks!
Gregg

I ended up submitting this to SAP support as a bug. Found that we can successfully print using the preview button first and then printing from that interface but sending the report directly to the printer or pdf generates an error.

Crystal Report and SAP BW

I have just installed the Crystal Report 2008 from the CD provided by the SAP. I installed it on Window Server 2008.
The installation completed successfully, however, when I double-click to run the Crystal Report, I hits the following error:
Crw32.exe u2013 Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point?PrintLegend@CMapXLegend@CSLib300@@AEXJJJJJ@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library cslibu-3-0.dll
I found the similar problem on the web with following solution (although this is not mentioned in Ingou2019s blog):
After installing crystall report 10 or 11, follow these steps:
1. Right-click My Computer, then click Properties then click the Advanced tab.
2. Click the Performance Settings button then click the Data Execution Prevention tab.
3. Select the Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select: check box.
4. Add all of the Crystal Enterprise executables.
5. click ok. and close the window. open crystall report now
But I canu2019t even find the crw32.exe on the server!!! What is the problem??
Then I continue to install the Crystal Report 2008 Service Pack 2. When I install, I hits the following:
This patch only apply to crystal report 2008 SP1 u2013 Setup will exit now.
Why? I thought we should apply the SP2 for crystal report 2008 but why I hit the error?
I downloaded the following patch from sap website:
CRYSTALREPORTS02_0-10007442.EXE
Please help, thank you.

Stratos,
Can you explain the following:
You do have to install first CR 2008 V1 and then apply SP2 on top of it.
We're installing the Crystal Report 2008 from the CD given by SAP. From the SAP download website, there is Crystal Report 2008 V0 and Crystal Report 2008 V1. What is the different? The CD didn't mentioned if it is Crystal Report 2008 V0 or V1.
What I have done is installed the Crystal Report 2008 from the CD. Then install the CRYSTALREPORTS02_0-10007442.EXE which I downloaded from SAP website ->SAP BusinessObjects portfolio ->CRYSTAL REPORTS ->CRYSTAL REPORTS 2008 V1, but hits the following:
This patch only apply to crystal report 2008 SP1 u2013 Setup will exit now.
Sould I download the patch from:
SAP BusinessObjects portfolio ->CRYSTAL REPORTS ->CRYSTAL REPORTS 2008 V1
OR
SAP BusinessObjects portfolio ->CRYSTAL REPORTS ->CRYSTAL REPORTS 2008 V0
Please advise.

How to print Crystal Report within SAP Portal iView?

Hi All,
We are using BOEJ XI 3.0 with integration with SAP NetWeaver Portal. We are having a problem with printing a Crystal Report.
- We use the SAP iView to run a Crystal Report.
- Once the report is completed, we want to click on Print to send the report to a printer e.g. default printer.
- Then a screen pops up and nothing gets printed.
It seems the print control is not being transferred.
Has anyone had this problem and what the resolution is?
Thanks,
Garry

Hi Ingo,
Thank you for your response. I have just got off the phone with SAP. I was given two options.
- Install ActiveX control on user's PC
- Or set the user preference to use PDF in InfoView.
Both options seem to work. Now it is the question of security on using ActiveX. If this is the concern, then one can use the PDF option.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Garry

Crystal report and SAP system question

Hi,
I try to report off the SAP system using crystal reports without installation of the BOE server. But with very few knowledge of the SAP system, I am not clear of how and what to do. The following is what I have done:
1. From the client machine, I open the crystal report 2008
2. click "SAP" button and then click "Create New Report from a Query"
3. Select the system and enter the login user name/ password information
4. A dialog "Select Query for your Crystal Report" displayed.
    But under "Favorites", no entry found
    Under "Roles", no entry found
    Under infoAreas, there is a "Technical content" on top level and "Exchange Rate Type" is under it. I select this exchange rate type in the report, but it is an empty table.
If I use the same user name/ password to log on the SAPGUI, I am able to see lots of data.
Does anyone know what are the appropriate configuration steps to make the tables/views in the SAP system visible in the crystal reports? Could you please give me the details? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Vicky

Hi,
are you trying to report on top of a BW query (mentioned in step 1 and 2) or you trying to create a report on top of tables (mentioned further down).
