SAP Crystal Report 2013 on Windows 2012 and Lotus Notes Databases

Hi everybody, does someone already try to use version 2013 of Crystal Report to report Lotus Notes databases content?
We have been used older version for about 10 years without any difficulties as a native driver exist for Lotus Notes.
But installing the version 2013, we have discovered that lotus Notes is not anymore present int the list of database to connect to...
Can anyone provide sonme help?
Many thank in advance

See the SAP Crystal Reports 2013 Product Availability Matrix (PAM), page 9 and download the doc linked to there. According to that doc, Lotus Notes is now only supported via ODBC only.
Also, the search string 'lotus crystal 2013' (search box in top right corner) brings up the following KBA:
1238167 - Cannot create new report off the Lotus Notes Domino native driver in Crystal Reports

  • How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes  Scripts ?

    <br />Hi all,<br /><br /> How to use Crystal Reports XI release 2 Preview with Lotus Notes 7 Scripts ?<br /><br /> <br /><br />Thank&#39;s  <br />

    Hi,
    we are using Lotus Notes and Crystal Reports for preview and printing reports from our Lotus Notes Applications. We use the RDC object model. For previewing the reports we export them in an pdf-file and then start the PDF Reader to show the Preview. This works fine.
    But with Crystal Reports > 11 the RDC Object Model is no longer supportet, so we look for another way to preview and print our reports.
    I try to preview a report build with crystal report XI release 2 in my thick client (Lotus Notes) using java reporting component JRC, this report uses an native xml file as datasource. If the datasource is saved with the report everything works fine, but otherwise I have the following error:
    JRCAgent1 detected an exception: javax.xml.namespace.QName: method getPrefix()Ljava/lang/String; not found
    I also tried the .jars from Crystal4Eclipse. Doesn't work. When I use Eclipse to view the report everything works fine. The class QName exitsts in the jaxrpc.jar and in the xbean.jar, but only in the xbean.jar a Methode getPrefix exists.
    This is what we tried:
    Works fine with RDC. Doesn't work with JRC until now.
    Did this help you ?
    Perhaps you con help me with the JRC, because I'm a java newbee so any ideas could be helpful.

    1st scenario
    When in a runtime, it's keep appear a dialog box. This dialog box ask me to suppy Server, User ID, Password and Database. Once all information is supplied, my report display the data as expected
    2nd scenario
    I change my report using OLE DB (ADO) -> Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server -> checked on Integrated Security. I just choose Server, and Database. I assume me using Windows Authentication
    When in a runtime, there's no dialog box as above. My report display the data as expected. really cool
    Look's like, when report using SQL Server Authentication there's some problem. but, when report using Windows Authentication, it's fine.
    I'm looking for comment. Please help me

    Hello,
    MS SQL Server 2008 requires you to install the MS Client Tools for 2008.
    Once install then update all of your reports to use the SQL Native 10 as the OLE DB driver.
    The try again, if it still fails search, lots of sample log on code in this forum.

  • SAP Crystal Report 2013 - Connection error with Universe

    Hi,
    I've trying to connect Crystal Report 2013 with Universe but I'm getting below error. Please can someone help how can I resolve this error.

    .Unx Universes are Not supported by the legacy CR Designers (including CR 2013).
    For that you have the new CR for Enterprise.
    Does a WebI report against the same Universe work fine?
    Do other universes (.unv only) work fine from CR 2013?

  • 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

  • SAP tab in Crystal Reports 2013 issue

    We are using SAP Crystal Reports 2013 SP3 to build reports on BEX queries (BW 7.2). Creating a report via 'File' --> New connection --> BW MDX driver works fine, I can select bex queries & cubes and see the data. However SAP provided tab 'SAP' does not work as expected. When adding a new bex query using SAP--> Create new report from a query, I can see the list of queries and select one but it does not open and throws the following error -
    "An error occurred while generating a new report templete.
    No error"
    Using the "File" option any change to the .rpt file forces BO admin to update "DB logon" information in CMC (currently i cannot save .rpt file directly on enterprise from Crystal client due to some issue)  and we want to avoid this kind of maintainence using SAP authentication provided by using SAP tab, also the Crysal report prompts when run from BI launch pad request for prompt values twice (once for the report and once to pull list of values for each prompt) which can be avoided using SAP tab. I thought access to dev BW server is fine since the "File" tab works fine. Our BASIS team confirmed BOBJ dev servers have access to BW gateway. Am I missing something here, please help me with your experience and ideas to troubleshoot this as the only solution i could google was from a 2012 SAP recommended article to fix reginfo configuration files on SAP server
    I reinstalled Crystal Reports client twice to make sure intallation was not the issue.
    Thanks
    GORO.

    Hi Abhilash,

    Getting Alignment and long spaces between the paragraphs issues even though report has properly designed on designer.

  • SAP Crystal Reports 2011/2013 doesn't show Company Data Base

    I have CR versions 2011 and 2013 in several clients, and I can't connect to SAP B1 through the integration component. The behavior is that when I fill all the fields, I can't see the Company DataBases; if I type it manually and click "finish" I get the "conexion failed" error. With version 2011 it was working and then stoped working just like that. With 2013 has never worked. I've read in several forums that this error is recognized by SAP since early 2008 versions, but only talk about future "fixes". I've checked if any fix for 2013 is available but no lucky, it seems that fixes is a mess with CR.
    See screenshot. Any ideas how to fix this? is this really a bug?
    I have SAP 9 PL 9.
    UPDATE: My SAP Partner Support has told me this error is caused by the version of SQL I have (which is 2012) and that SAP will release a patch to correct this soon, is this correct?

    Hi,
    Please check SAP note:
    1966132 - SAP Business One 9.0 PL09 (SQL & HANA) supports SAP Crystal Reports 2013, version for the SAP Business One application

  • Unable to save reports to enterprise from Crystal Reports 2013 and Crystal Reports for Enterprise

    Dear Expert,
    when we tried to save report to enterprise, error happened:
    "Failed to find a Report Application Server."
    We closed BO server firewall.
    We could check report from PC by browser.
    But when we save report from CR 2013, then error happened.
    Then we install CR enterprise and save report is ok from same PC.
    We launch latest patches too.
    Anyone see this before? Please kindly help~

    April, since you have CR4E, you also have BI and thus free phone support included. My suggestion would be to create a phone incident and work with an SAP engineer on the issue. Only saying because it looks like you're somewhat anxious to get this going(?).

    Ok solved.
    - I assure where is the  saplogon.ini (in my case: %appdata%\SAP\Common\saplogon.ini)
    - I open the saplogon.ini with notepad and set the UTF format and than save it replacing the original one if it was not in UTF format
    - I go to : control panel>system>advanced>environment variables>system variables and I create a new one with name "SAPLOGON_INI_FILE" and path "C:\Users\....\AppData\Roaming\SAP\Common\saplogon.ini";
    - Open SAP Crystal Reports 2013 (in my case) > VIEW > Preferred Viewing Locale > (here I set the language of the SAP System I am going to log on with crystal report, in my case was in english so I set English)
    - (within SAP Crystal Reports 2013) > FILE > Log On or Off Server... > Create New Connection > SAP Table, Cluster, or Function > (now it shows me all the different SAP Systems that are also in the SAP GUI Logon, choose one, set the client-username-password and then finish)
    Thank you,
