I'm facing a problem while connecting ABAP query & infoset from crystal reports.
I've installed crystal reports 8.5 and also SAP crystal report enterprise add on.
when i want to connect to sap system from crystal reports, it aunthenticate my username and password, but when i want to retrieve sap infoset or query, it stops me and show the message
R/3 Error
SYSTEM_FAILURE
58FUNCTION MODULE "/CRYSTAL/GET_FUNCAREA_CATALOG" NOT FOUND.
Please help me, it's urgent.
Thanks,
Salahuddin.

Ingo,
I've downloaded V 10 and installed it. But it does not display 'SAP' in 'other datasources', when i start creating report from crystal reports using other datasources.
When i downloaded V 8.5 addon, i 've installed crystal report v 8.5 and then installed v 8.5 AddOn. This atleast shows SAP menu in it. but when i start creating report from it, it displays same missing function module problem.
So in both version, I'm having problem. In V 10 SAP menu is not appearing and in V 8.5 SAP menu appears but missin function module problem. Is there any Addon for V 10.
Please guide me.
Thanks,
Salahuddin.

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]

Hi,
When we are trying to connect to database in sap crystal reports enterprise xi 4.0 ,i am geting the below error.please advise.
Error:
Failed to establish a connection.The cause was:
Connot connect to SAP BussinessObjects Enterprise at this time.Please try again later.

Thanks for your quick response Henry....
I checked all this things and all are working fine.
Now I am able to connect to BOE server.
The cause behind the issue was in "CMC > Applications > Web
Service > Access URL:" the URL was having different server name which we have changed earliar, I just correct the URL and issue got resolved.
But now when I am trying to access BOE Server through Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0 client tool directly not from launch pad, it probes me the same error. (Note: I used the same parameters which i got from launch pad token to this)
Is that a only way to use Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0 from launch pad ??

Connecting SAP Crystal Report with EHP6 FOR SAP ERP 6.0

Hello Everyone!
I have downloaded SAP Crystal Report demo 30 days and we have an IDES for "EHP6 FOR SAP ERP 6.0", how can I make some reports and train myself with crystal report?
I don't understand how to make the connection to our SAP DB, can you help me?
Thank you!
Denis

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,
Closed.

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

SAP Crystal Reports 2011 - Product keycode

Dear all,
I have been requested to install SAP Crystal Reports 2011 to use it as a reporting tool for our SAP ERP 6.0.
However, I got stuck when the installation program asks me for the "Product Keycode". Does anybody know if there is a temporary product keycode so we can evaluate this product before purchasing it?If so, where is it?
Once SAP Crystal Reports 2011 is successfully installed, do we need to install anything else in order to set up the connection between SAP Crystal Reports 2011 and SAP ERP 6.0?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Since someone on your site obtained CR 2011, they should also have a permanent keycode...
Failing that, the only way to get a 30 day temp eval keycode is from here;
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
But you will still have to go back to who ever obtained your current CR 2011 and ask them for a permanent keycode.
Re. Connection to SAP ERP 6.0. You're better off asking in the SAP Crystal Reports Database Connectivity|SAP Crystal Reports - Data Connectivity; forum rather than in this forum.

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:

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.

Hiding a data field in SAP Crystal Reports 2011

Hello,
I am new to SAP Crystal Reports 2011 (Crystal Reports).
Does any one know how to hide a Special Field in a Crystal Report?
Specifically, I am trying to hide the Special Field, 'Record Number' from displaying on my report.
I need the Special Field, 'Record Number' to know how many records was printed on my report
in order to limit the amount of records printed while I am testing this new report.
Thanks for the help!
Tony

Hi Tony,
Yes to hide specific field, follow abhilash suggestion..
1. Limit the number of records displayed on your report like that:
section expert -> particular your report section -> click on suppress -> write below formula
RecordNumber > Limited number of records count..
2. limit the number of records per page on your report follow below link:
How to limit the no of records per page in crystal reports 2008
Thanks,
