SAP BW and Crystal Reports XI R2 Parameter list problem??

Hello Experts,
I facing a problem.
I have a crystal report based on a BW Query. It has one parameter called Country.
Eg:
Until now, in BW query country variable has the following values.
USA
JAPAN
GERMANY
Now, from this fiscal year we have the following values for country variable
USA
JAPAN
INDIA
GERMANY
UK
I am trying to edit the list of values for the country variable in crystal reports. It is not getting reflected in SAP BW. I also tried refreshing it several times.
THE VARIABLE IS A HIERARCHY VARIABLE.
Can any one Please help.!!
Regards
NMU

You said that you are using version XI R2 SP2 (for BO Enterprise) - do you have any FixPacks on this codeline? (FP2.x)
Question: If YES to above, have you made use of the equivalent FixPack for Integration Kit? (known as "Partners Fix Pack 2.x ")
There are a few fixes in this area, I was thinking like:
ADAPT00716808 - When scheduling a report from SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) that contains parameters from a hierarchy or a hierarchy node variable, the default values fail to be displayed from InfoView. >>
ADAPT00894127 - When users enter date parameters in the Calendar dialog box in SAP InfoView, the dates entered fail to appear in the corresponding field.
Good luck,
Henry

Error Connecting SAP Business One and Crystal Report

Hi All,
I installed Crystal Report 2008 on my system for creating a report in Crystals.
I clicked on "New Report" and it opened a window called "Database Exert." However, when I look in the Database Expert, I cannot see "SAP Business One" in it. How can I connect SAP Business One 8.8 with Crystal Report?
Regards,
Bharath S

Hi
On your computer, locate the Crystal folder according to the following directory path: C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\Crystal. Then double-click the file: SAP Business One Crystal Report Integration Package.exe. and follow the step of the setup status screen.

SAP NetWeaver Portal Crystal Reports PDF Export Problem

Hallo all,
We are working with BO Edge XI 3.1 with integration on SAP Netweaver Portal. The problem is that integrated in SAP Portal CR reports cannot be exported to PDF or printed out.
I am using an URL iview with the parameter sOutputFormat=P to run the report.
When I want to print out the report I get the warning message from Internet Explorer "The download of files from this page is for security reasons blocked. Click here..." --> Download the file. By clicking on the u201CDownload this fileu201D the report starts to run again. PDF export doesnu2019t happen.
Did somebody have the same problem?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello Ingo,
thanks a lot for Your help. I have already talked to my IT department and they are looking for the solution of this problem, too.
Is there a documentation about necessary settings in the browser to work with SAP NetWeaver Portal and Crystal reports?
The problem is that on some clients the PDF export is working and on another clients not. The settings of IE seem to be equal.

VS2008/VS2005 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer

Hi,
1.) I am using VS2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer. Are there any issues I need to consider when developing using both of the above? (or with VS2005)
2.) The confusion for me is in regards to the SDK. From what I understand from articles etc is that using CR 2008 dev we can use the .NET SDK or RAS SDK for development purposes?
3.) So downloaded the sample code for RAS .NET from [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] and tried "DatabaseLogon_CS" example, as the option. It automatically opened in VS2005 (no problem) however it would not run.
I would get an error :
Failed to connect to server "localhost".
Error returned from Windows Sockets API : 0.
and line causing this is >>> rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
Code below:
        string sampleReportPath = @"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Samples\en\Reports\Demonstration\World Sales Report.rpt";
        object path = (object)sampleReportPath;
        // Create an instance of the ReportClientDocument.
        ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
        // Set the location of the RAS server.
        rcd.ReportAppServer = "localhost";
        // Use the Open() method of the ReportClientDocument to open the report.
        rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
I have been able to open the RPT file by itself. So it does 'see' the database.
Reason why it would not run?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you're using the sample code from our website, make sure you have uncommented the InprocRAS option in the ConfigureCrystalReports method (see below). From your error description it seems like you're using the unmanaged RAS option, which requires a RAS server.
private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
        /* The following methods implement the same sample functionality in three different RAS
         * scenarios. Uncomment the method you would like to use.
         * - inprocRAS() logs onto a databse using RAS and SQL authentication.
         * - managedRAS() logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from a managed RAS server.
         * - unmanagedRAS () logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from an unmanaged RAS server.
         * Undocument the call to the method which applies to your appropriate RAS settings.
        DatabaseLogon_inprocRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_managedRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_unmanagedRAS();

Hi Detleff,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this forum is to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio
Editor. Based on your Crystal Reports printing issue, I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue. Therefore,
I suggest you can ask your issue directly on SAP Crystal Reports:

for better solution and support.

No SAP Datasources or SAP Toolbar in Crystal Reports 2008

I cannot see the SAP toolbar or SAP datasources under "Create New Connection" in Crystal Reports 2008 SP1.
After reading many threads on SDN and reistalling Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 and the BOBJ SAP Integration Kit many times I have not been able to get this to work. I have installed the following in order:
- SAP GUI for Windows
Release: 710
Build: 1046700
Patch Level: 12
includes the BW 3.5 AddOn and BI 7 AddOn
Crystall Reports 2008 SP1 which I installed all components except Legacy XML Export.
Business Objects XI Integration Kit XI 3.1 for SAP which I installed all desktop components and all server components excluding web content and SDK. This was a local install on my PC.
I have ensured that I have only one instance of SAPLOGON.ini on my PC.
I have not applied the transports yet because I want to see the SAP datasources and SAP toolbar in Crystal Reports before I progress.
We do not have Business Objects Enterprise and I'm not sure what "BOE 3.1 Client Tools" is referred to earlier in this thread. My understanding is that in addition to SAP and BW we just need Crystal Reports 2008 and the SAP integration kit.
We are on ECC6 and BW 3.5.
I hope someone can help.

Hi Stratos,
Thanks for your response. I finally got this working. My issue was that I originally used the Crystal Reports 2008 and BOBJ Int Kit downloads from the SAP support portal. I checked with another SDN user Steven Dierick - thanks Steven - for the version of Crystal Reports 2008 he was using (version 12.0.0.683).
I downloaded Crystal Reports 2008 version 12.0.0.683 and the BOBJ Int Kit from the downloads section of sdn and it works!! SAP Toolbar, datasources and everything.
Considering I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 SP0 are there any disadvantages of not using Crystal Reports 2008 SP1?
If I'm better off using SP1 where should I download Crystal Reports 2008 SP1 and the appropriate BOBJ SAP Integration Kit?
cheers,
John

Hi
please ask your network admins if there is a firewall between your CR Designer installation and your SAP R/3 system.
I assume that you have imported the necessary trsansports in your SAP R/3 system.
Which kind of driver do you use for the connection to SAP R/3?

Migration between SharePoint07 and Crystal Reports - please Help !

I downloaded trial ver. of CR XI R2 with SP3 ( version 11.5.9.1076)
so we could use the integration kit to MOSS 2007 (new upgrade).
What do I need in order to install the Portal integration kit on Microsoft SharePoint 2007 server ?
We have Crystal Reports v10 with license but I want to try migrating SharePoint with Crystal reports
and if it will be OK we will purchase the new version.
My purpose is to install the integration kit (keep asking for SP3 in installation menu)
Do I need to Install Business Objects XI 3.1 in order to install the integration kit to SharePoint 07 ?
Where can I download it (trial) ? SAP site keep deny me.
thanks..
BTW, Does Crystal Reports 2008 will work fine with SharePoint server 07 ?

Hi Raj,
Please have a look at the below documents for ECC and Crystal Reports integration.

Hyperlinking results of a crystal report to a parameter in another rpt.

We have a requirement to hyperlink the result values of a field in a crystal report to a parameter in another report that returns the details of that value. Example below:
Rpt 1. Field:                                   Country
Values:(as hyperlinks)                     USA
                                                     Germany
                                                     France
So when a user clicks on the hyperlink "USA", report number two containing details for USA opens up like the example below:
USA,                  Population,          etc...etc....
North America     350M
The user should not be prompted to enter any parameters in the second report as it is expected to be parsed this from clicking on the value in the first report. The values in the first report are in a group section "country". We are using Crystal 2008 on a BW query.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Create a sub report which contains country wise informaiton and insert this report in your group footer. Now right click on your sub report and go in change sub report links and link your sub reportcountry parameter with your main report country parameter.
Now it will pass your opendoc parameter value to your sub report parameter and will display results without entring once again coutnry parameter for your sub report.
Thanks,
Sastry.

Difference between Crsytal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4

difference between Crystal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0?
I think Crystl Reprt 2011 has more function, is it right?

Hi,
I recently attended a SAP Virtual trianing on SAP Business Objects BI 4.0.
Here are few extracts from that which probably shows some light to you:
SAP Crystal Reports 2011
1. UI and associated processing servers remain the same as CR 2008
2. Incremental update to CR 2008 with a few new features*
3. Continue to provide current CR 2008 functionality as-is for existing customers
SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0
1. Major update & redesign of the Crystal Reports Designer and associated processing servers
2. Focus on streamlined report design, reporting against BI 4.0 Universe, & reporting against SAP BW data
3. Provide the foundation for all future releases of Crystal Reports
Differences between these two releases:
Data Source & Usage Type                                       General Recommendation

Crystal reports and crystal report viewer

Hi.
I have up to recently used crystal report version 11.5 and reports have been made available for users in the organisation via Crystal report viewer.2010 ver 11.2.1.3.
The reports have been saved without data, and the different parameters have been available for the users for them to select approriate dataset,.
I have now upgraded Crystal reports to version 2013 ver 14.1 and crystal report viewer to same version.
The problem now is that the parameters are no longer available for the users, and it is also a requirement to save the reports incl a dataset to even open the report in the new report viewer.
What have I missed? Anyone that can help me ?
brgds Torunn

Hi Torunn
An alternative may be to create a web app using either the Crystal Reports .NET or Java SDK. Depending on what development software you already have, this may be cheaper than CR Server or "BO server". E.g.; both the .NET SDK and the Java SDK are free:
SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio: Updates & Runtime Downloads
SAP BusinessObjects - SAP Crystal Reports, Version For Eclipse Download
The above would be predicated on the assumption that your org has some developer experience (or is willing to acquire it) and that you have the development software (e.g.; VS 2010, or 2012, or 2013 for the CR SDK for .NET).

QR Codes and Crystal Report Design

Does anyone have experience to share with regard to creating reports that print with a QR code (the 2 dimensional "bar code" that we're starting to see on boarding passes and other places). Does Crystal Reports 2008/BusinessObjects Enterprise 3.1 support the ability to print these and, if so, how do you do it?
Thanks!

Universe based on SAP BW in Crystal Reports

Hello everybody.
Yesterday I've visited the CeBIT.
Here I've talked to other colleges working on BO issues.
We're using the Version BO Enterprise XI 3.0. In this version it is not possible to use Universes in Crystal Reports 2008 that base on SAP BW content.
A college showed me Polestar XI 3.1.
I've asked him if this problem from above is solved in the XI 3.1 version of BO.
He did not know exactly.
So could someone tell me, if it is possible in BO Enterprise XI 3.1 to use Universes in Crystal Reports that were build on SAP BW content?
Thanks in advance.
Sebastian

Hi everybody,
we are discussing about that fact in another thread.
I would appreciate if you join the discussion under:
OLAP universes and Crystal Reports
Thank you for any comments
