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 - have you installed the SAP Integration Kit, as mentioned here? http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/businessobjects-bi-for-sap/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
    Separately, I recommend going with Crystal for Enterprise with BW; lately SAP has said to only use Crystal Reports 2013 if you need more functionality with SAP ERP than Crystal for Enterprise

  • Crystal Reports 2013 on SAP BW

    Hi Gurus,
    We are trying to establish connection between Crystal Reports 2013 and SAP BW 7.4. Could you please let us know whether we can create Crystal Reports on following BW objects or not?
    -BW BEx Reports
    -BW Cubes
    -BW DSOs
    -BW Master data Info Objects
    -BW Multi Provider
    Regards
    Viswanath

    Hi Manoj,
    Using the SAP BW MDX Query driver, you can design formatted Crystal reports that are based on data that is stored in SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse (BW). You base these reports either on queries that are created with SAP Business Explorer (BEx) Query Designer, or directly on the cubes in BW.

  • 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?

  • Upgrade from Crystal report 8 to Crystal report 2013

    Dear all,
    Need some information pertaining to upgrade of Crystal report 8 to Crystal report 2013 (to be invoked from thick client .NET applications)
    Is it possible to directly upgrade from 8 to 2013 ? Or should there be a move to intermediate version before going to 2013 ?
    How is the upgrade generally done ? (do we just open the report and save in new version, or do they have any upgrade wizard)
    What are the typical issues we may face while going from lower version to higher version (I understand queries may break, format and layout may change.  Are there any other issues specific to upgradation.
    Regards,
    Jain

    Hi Jain,
    Moved your post to .NET Forums.
    Since CR 8.0 is 12 or more years old there is no "upgrade path" now. The Database drivers have all changed and the Parameter API's have also.
    Best way is to get CR 2011 and manually open each and every report and update the DB connection using the Set Table Location, this requires updating the DB Client to current versions also.
    Note there are some old legacy DB sources no longer available so that can be a problem also.
    CR 8 is not Side By Side compatible with any other version so make sure it's not installed on the same PC. It will never work and cause all sorts of problems for you.
    Basic report layout stayed the same but Printing has changed a lot also so search here, lots of post on the subject.
    For more help need to know your data source also?
    And check the Overview Tab, on the left side, lots of resources and samples to get you started.
    Also, first warning is set your project to X86 and the full Framework, do not use the Client version.
    And the SDK is no longer shipped with CR Designer install, VS installer and redist packages are all available from here:

  • Crystal Reports 2013 java-error "java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.crystaldecisions..." when promoting

    Hi,
    when promoting "Crystal Report 2013" report (with data connectivity BW MDX Query) from BO DEV to BO PROD with BO Promotion Mgmt (LCM), we get the following error message in LCM jobs history:
    Resolution Status=Overwritten, Dependency Status=All the required dependencies are included.,
    Commit Status=Commit attempted and failed.,
    Promotion Status=Failure : Object promoted. Update failed.
    Error: java.lang.ClassCastException: class com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ByteArray:java.net.URLClassLoader@1d634758 incompatible
    with class com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.PropertyBag:java.net.URLClassLoader@1d634758
    The report itself is present on BO PROD, but the overwrite (BW DEV MDX Query-> BW PROD MDX Query) is not applied, so report connectivity still points to the BW Query on the development system :-( .
    Moreover, the overwrite itself is detected when the job is "test promoted" ("active overwrite").
    Before, we successfully were able to transport crystal reports 2013 with overwrite (the connection then pointed to BW PROD). No idea yet what suddenly changed that...
    Any ideas what causes the error and what can fix it (no posts found, no SAP note, google also no hits)?
    Best regards
    Florian Pitschi

    Update:
    After more investigation, it looks as if the BO Server "CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer"
    from time to time has an issue - not only when promoting, but also when viewing publications that contain Crystal Report documents or when executing them, the java class error or similar issue is thrown.
    Did sb face similar behaviour and knows what is the root cause for "CrystalReports2013ReportApplicationServer" not working probably and throwing the java-class error? - it was running fine for several months, now, the class error showed up twice in one month.
    We need to find out what is causing the issue (aleady checked tomcat and BO-logfiles...).
    Best Regards
    Florian

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

    Dear Expert,

    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.

    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(?).
