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?

SAP 8.8 Crystal Report Layout problem in client workstation

Hi Experts,
We have import crystal report to SAP Business One as Form Layout or AP Invoice. We have already created the token DocKey@ so it would automatically be printed and will not ask for the document number. The layout works fine using the server workstation but in the client workstation we cannot proceed with the printing because when we click on the preview button, a login window appears with this details:
Database Login
Server Name : gray out or not active
Database: gray out or not active
Login ID: active
Password: active
We tried to enter the SQL login but fails.
Is there any components that we need to install in the workstation before it could function the same way as PLD?
Thanks,
Janice

You can try creating the ODBC connection, which is the same as on the server.
Assuming this is the scenario:
1. You write the invoice using crystal report on the server
2. On the server, Control Panel--> ODBC, you have created an ODBC link eg; SAPB1.
3. The report is connecting to ODBC link and pointing to database OECUS
On the client workstation, you need to create:
1. Control Panel--> ODBC, you need to create an ODBC link as on the server.

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.

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

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.

Problem Change SAP Query in Crystal Reports

Hi,
i have a problem with changing a SAP Query in an Crystal Reports.
I build a Report with a Query(1) and Design the Report complet everything works fine.
I make a new Query(2) and if i make a new Crystal Report with this new Query everything works fine.
Now my problem is i would like to use the design of the first report. Therefore i open the first report and save it under a new name. Delete all Database fields and delete the database connection.
Now i gave in the new database connection to the new query(2) and in the Database fields i see a lot of Fields but not the right ones. Its completly wrong. Is there anybody how know this problem?????

Hi i solved my problem by myself.
I have to set Query as external available and have to use the MDX Query.
Its strange because if i build a new report the query dont have to be set as external available.

SAP parameter token - Crystal Report 8.8

Hi,
When I want to create a parameter for selection of BPCode, myparameter@select * from OCRD works well. The idea of filtering with properties etc is fantastic.
However, what I need is to create a parameter with value in AddID in OCRD.
I have tried myparameter@select AddID from OCRD, but, it is not displaying the list for AddID capture in OCRD, instead, it display the same UI as myparameter@select * from OCRD.
How do I get by this?
I have tried, range, multiple value, does not work at all.
Did I miss something?

Gordon,
Thanks for replying.
I want to create parameter, as simple as that. Parameter should not be restricted with key value.
In standard Crystal Report, you can create parameter, if you set it as Dynamic, set it to refer to any table field, and use it in report, when running the report, the parameter will be populated with value of the referred field.
How does this work with SAP 8.8?
Are we suppose to use syntax like myparameter@select AddID from OCRD or we just create dynamic parameter as normal?
I have tried both and it does not seems to work properly.
1. If i use myparameter@select AddID from OCRD, it comes out with selecting for OCRD will all those properties, which I am not interested.
2. If I create a dynamic parameter, when runnign the reprot within SAP, nothing has come out on the list for selection.
Has anyone tried that?
No, SQL Command is not what I am interestded,

Missing SAP Menu in Crystal Reports

Hi Experts,
I've re-installed Crystal Reports 2008 V1, but I'm now missing the SAP menu which I had before.
I've got the SAP Gui (with BW add-ons) and the integration kit is also installed since my previous installation of CR 2008 had the SAP Menu.
I've got a feeling it's something to do with the integration kit for SAP. I've tried to re-install this too, but as soon as I click setup.exe I get an error message saying "BusinessObjects Integration Kit XI 3.1 for SAP Solution Setup has failed". I also cannot remove the currently installed inetgration kit either.
Please help as I need to report off SAP BW data!
Best regards,
Andrew

Hello,
If you had both CR and integration kit installed; than proper way would be to remove the kit first; remove CR and reinstall CR and SAP integration kit again. It sounds like now you have a mismatch of files and possible some remnants of previous installs that is messing up any new attempts to install.
If this is simply a client machine; i recommend to manually remove all Business objects folders in windows explorer as well as in the registry. (just be very careful you do ONLY remove the bobj stuff).
Do these manual steps ONLY if regular uninstall of both CR and SAP integration kit do not work.
Note that under normal circumstances to just reinstall the SAP toolbar; you should be able to run a custom install of the SAP integration kit and select only to reinstall the SAP add-on bar.

Duncan

SAP BI 7 & Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
I'm airly new to SAP BI world, but I have 8+ years of BI expereince. We are trying to integrate a project in SAP BI 7. We had planned to use the BEx Query Designer/Web Application Designer for query and reporting purposes. However, with the new roadmap of SAP, where they will discontinue the BEx Suite (Reports) from next year, we have decided to go for Crystal Reports 2008.
Curretnly, there are existing reports that were created in Crystal Reports x/xi I belive and they used BEx query (3.5). Our question is that if we want to use Crystal Reports 2008, how do we connect to the SAP BI (infoobjects, infoCubes, etc)? Also, should we be just be able to recompile the previous crystal templates in 2008?
I have read that Crystal reports can use BO Universe to connect to SAP BI 7 objects. However, I'm trying to get more information about that regarding recommentations/best practices, etc.
I would greatly appreciate any help!
Thanks.

Reporting in SAP HCM using Crystal Reports

We have decided to use Crystal Reports for SAP HCM Objective Settings and Appraisal component.
What will be the best option to access SAP HCM Tables using Crystal Reports?
Regards
Faisal

Hi,
I have to assume that you've followed the Admin guide and given sufficient Authorizations (as per the detailed list)
Actually, there are quite a few related notes about this, if you search in SDN or via SMP: www.service.sap.com/notes or /x-search . for example:
1334461 - After upgrading SAP R/3 ECC5 to version ECC6, the Integration Kit transport package /Crystal/BC was found in DELETED OBJECTS and Crystal ODBC connection cannot view or browse any tables
1374874 - Cannot see the SAP tables, clusters or functions in Crystal Reports
here's a suggestion:
using the Database Options:
When creating a new report, in the Database Expert window, click on SAP Table, Cluster, or Function
Log on to an SAP system
Once connected, right click on the connection created and select Options
In the Options window, in the Data Explorer area, use the Table name LIKE field to select only a subset of data.
Type the full or partial name of the tables you are looking for
Use the percentage sign (%) to denote any number of characters
Use the underscore (_) to denote one characters
Once done, click OK to accept the change.
Back to the Database Expert window, right click on the connection and select Refresh
