How to connect Crystal Report 2008 server with SAP BI/BW server

Hi ,
I have downloaded the 60 Days trial version of "Crystal Report 2008 Server' from sap site to my machine. Now i would like to connect this Crystal server with SAP BI and want to use the data of BI Bex queries and Infoproviders.
Can you please guide me how to connect them?
Aslo how can i get the free trial version of Intergration kit ..here please provide me the entire full path of site(to download the Integration Kit).....
Any inputs would be appreciated!!
Regards,
Naween

Hi Michelle,
Older versions of CR would allow you to run CR from a network share point but you still had to have a license for each user. Current versions of CR do not allow you to do this any more, possibly using a Citrix or Terminal Server would allow this but you still need a license for each user. Older versions had a Network install option.
And as suggested exporting to PDF or some other format is fine for end users viewing your output. They are not using CR but Adobe Reader or Word etc. to view the reports, they just can't use the Designer to view the reports.
Hope this is clear now?
Thank you
Don

Connecting Crystal Report 2008 to SAP SRM

Hi all,
I have a customer that would like to use Crystal Reports 2008 to report SAP SRM data. Is this possible? We already have the integration kit.
What steps must I take?
I know to connect Crystal to SAP CRM all I have to do is import the ERP transports on to the SAP CRM application server. Is the process the same with SRM?
Please advise.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Jenny

Hi Jenny,
For now I'll move this post to the Integration kit forum. Some of our engineers are getting trained on connecting SAP datasources so for now your best place to get an answer is likely the Integration kit forum.
Thank you

Unable to display Crystal Reports 2008 PDF output on smart phones

Hi Folks,
I'm not sure if this is the proper forum, but here goes. I am just finishing a large ASP.NET web app which makes extensive use of Crystal Reports 2008 and a CrystalReportViewer control. My users routinely e-mail the reports in PDF format. This works great, except now they tell me that when the recipient of the e-mail tries to open the PDF on an iPhone or Blackberry, it will not open. The PDF's open fine on desktop computers.
Here is the code which generates the PDF and attaches it to the e-mail msg.
// export to PDF, then mail that
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
MailAddress from = new MailAddress(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ReportMailFrom"].ToString());
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.From = from;
message.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
message.Subject = "E-mail BackOffice report: " + strReportName;
MemoryStream memStream = (MemoryStream)rptDoc.ExportToStream(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
Attachment data = new Attachment(memStream, MediaTypeNames.Application.Pdf);
ContentDisposition disposition = data.ContentDisposition;
disposition.CreationDate = DateTime.Now;
disposition.ModificationDate = DateTime.Now;
disposition.FileName = strReportName + ".pdf";
disposition.DispositionType = DispositionTypeNames.Attachment;
message.Attachments.Add(data);
client.Send(message);
Any ideas on what is happening here and how to make these PDF's visible to smart phones?
Thanks.
Dan

Hi Dan,
What happens if you export from Crystal Reports designer?
I just tried if and BlackBerry tells me I am about to download a file that cannot be viewed on the phone. It doesn't say why though.
Going through the Platforms file it doesn't mention smart phones so it would indicate we don't support them in that format.
HTML worked but not pretty. You'll have to see what Blackberry does support. I found this one kbase article from them:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB11245&sliceId=SAL_Public&dialogID=206744335&stateId=1%200%20206742756
I'm testing more but I believe this is a blackberry limit and not CR.
Seems they do support it but very limited.
Thank you
Don

Unable to Schedule Crystal reports 2008 based on MSAS 2000

Hi,
I created Crystal Report 2008 (XI R 3.1 SP3 FP 3.2) on Cube MSAS 2000 SP4. I do not see any option to configure database credentials. While creating report in the wizard I did not enter any User name and Password Info (I have admin credentials to Cube but when I give these credentials and try to create report, CR designer hangs, not sure why?). The idea is to pick cube level security for the user who is trying to view / refesh the report.
Could you please help: 1. To configure Database info in CMC
2. To implement cube level security to these crystal reports.
Nanda Kishore.

Hi Experts,
Could you please help. My intention to capture Cube Level Security while refrshing Crystal Reports in Infoview.
I am uanble to refresh report in Infoview.

Unable to install Crystal Reports 2008 SP07

Hi, everyone
Currently using
Crystal Reports 2008 Product: 12.4.0.966
I have the problem about installation of Crystal Reports 2008 Service Pack.
I could upgrade it to SP4. However, I'm not able to install Crystal Reports 2008 Service Pack 07 update due to the error message product version is too old.
Does someone have any similar experience?
Regrards,
Kano

Hello Takumo,
You can upgrade to SP7 only if you have SP5 or SP6 install. This is why you are getting error when upgrading from SP4 to SP7.
So, you have to follow this path CR2008 SP4 -> SP5 or SP6 -> SP7
Else you can also install full build as suggested by Abhilash.

Connecting Crystal Reports 2008 to SAP BI 7.0

Post Author: Anton Sack
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi there, I tried to connect the trial version of CrystalReports 2008 to a SAP BI 7.0 system. So I have chosen "Login to Server" / "OLE DB Provider" and "SAP BW OLE DB Provider". Unfortunately, there are no settings to be made for servername and system number, but database and datasource. I do not know this information and I assume, that this is not the right way to connect. Do I need additional integration kit or something? Where can I doenload this? Thanks for any help! Best regards,Anton

Connecting Crystal Reports to SAP BW BEx query

Post Author: mfrank
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
We have used Crystal Enterprise 8.5 to connect to an SAP BW BEx query in the past, however we are having some difficulties. Rather than trying to upgrade our old CE system, I've been told that we should be able to connect Crystal Reports (2008?) directly to the BW BEx query. I've been trying to accomplish this, but can't seem to find any drivers that will allow the connectivity. When I try to set up a connection using OLAP, the only two options listed are Hyperion and Microsoft OLAP. I have an old version of Brio Query (now Hyperion, now Oracle) that does show up with a driver for BW, but this doesn't show up in my Crystal options.
Can someone give me some advice as to how to connect Crystal Reports to SAP BW? I realize there are licensing issues with running live data without using Crystal Enterprise (or later BO products), but I'm just looking to print a report to a PDF.
Thanks

Crystal reports 2008 install freezes on disk space req.

Unable to install Crystal reports 2008 on server - Windows Server 2008 standard. This is required moving forward for troubleshooting purposes.
The installation freezes when determining disk space requirements.
I have tried copying the installation files locally to the server, but same issue occurs.
I have confirmed I am a local administrator, and there are no policies preventing installation.
I have installed this same software on other servers before.

Thomas's reply also worked for me! Here is the cut/paste excerpt from the link he provided that was the filnal solution, so you won't have to go to that link an read the entire post:
go back to initial phases of the installation and add french into language packs.
then pick custom installation.
don't play with anything.
and click to next...

New Crystal Reports 2008 Server Installation - Unable to log on...

Hi,
For the first time, I installed Crystal Reports 2008 on a Windows 2008, 64bit server.
When I load up the CMC, I end up getting a server not found error. I proceeded to load up the CCM, and noticed that Apache and the related logon credentials are working fine. I see a green arrow next to the server name.
I click on the "Manage Servers" icon and the servername, user name, and authentication is pre-filled. I enter in the password and receive the following error:
Unable to log on: Could not connect to server servername. Please check that the server name is correct, and that the server is running.
Can anyone offer suggestions on how to troubleshoot further?
Thank You,
Chris

can you access apache root? try hitting http://servername:8080/
If not is tomcat running in the CCM?
Regards,
Tim

Unable to create reports in Crystal Reports 2008

In Crystal Reports 2008 we are getting the error message while creating a new report or refreshing the old ones.
Logon failed.
Details:HY000:[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-06413: Connection not open.

Tired creating a new DSN, does not work.

Please help

I have found another thread really interesting, might help you too.. here it is
There are a number of reasons this error can occur.   The most common is that the TNS connect descriptor can't be parsed correctly.
Read an article about this -- The main thrust was:
"You are using reserved symbols to identify the client computer. Sqlnet/Net8 has a character set for keyword value entries, which is restricted to single-byte characters. However certain single-byte characters are reserved symbols within Sqlnet/Net8. These reserve symbols are:
                  ( ) = \ " ' #
Sqlnet/Net8 passes client information, such as host, username, and program executable to the database during connection establishment as part of an 'exteneded' connected discriptor. Using a reserved
character can cause connection failures resulting in ORA-6413, Connection not open errors. In particular the open and close parenthesis symbols ( ) being used to identify the client computer.
This would be noticeable in the Sqlnet.log where the errors are shown."
This refers back to a bug Bug No. 813483
Problem: When a WinNT client machine is rebooted, the first connection attempt to the database fails with
ora-6413.
Diagnostic Analysis: connection fails on the first attempt after a machine reboot. Subsequent tries succeeds.
Reproducibility: every time.
The second issue:   Check your tnsnames.ora file if you are missing the "_" or "underbar / underscore" of any   line, this error will be returned. ( ie, like   ADDRESS_LIST or CONNECT_DATA
ie:
xxxx.foo.bar.com =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
        (ADDRESS =
          (COMMUNITY = tcp.world)
          (PROTOCOL = TCP)
          (Host = server.foo.bar.com)
          (Port = 1521)
    (CONNECT_DATA = (SID =xxxx))

Connecting Crystal reports server 2008 to BI 7.0

Hello,
I have a BI 7.0 server on Unix machine. I am trying to install crystal reports 2008 on windows 2003 server, and further integrate it to SAP BI by installing SAP integration kit. I have done the below.
1) Installed crystal reports server 2008 on windows 2003 server.
2) I can launch the CMS by start programs --> crystal reports server 2008 --> Central Management console.
3) I enter my user id an password and can see the business object portal with all the entries in it,
4) I have also installed SAP BOBJ integration kit (XI3.0) as well. It installs successfully. The only difference in the guide and what I did was, it dint prompt me for the CMS information, but it did when I was installing crystal reports server 2008.
5) Now I am able to connect to CMS, but I donot find the SAP authentication tab, and the server details tab, as per the guide.
I am a basis admin, and experimenting this for the 1st time. I need to set this up for one of the clients. They want to do some BI reporting through crystal reports. I have installed crystal reports server as of now. The client will now try to access it through CMS , by "InfoView". But CMS isnt giving me SAP auth tab, for me to go ahead and configure the SAP related settings.
Any inputs on the same will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
AK

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for that reply..I am stuck now when I am trying to publish a report. I will summarize, what I have done so faar, just to make it easier to reply.
1) Installed the BO edge series xi 3.1
2) Installed Crystal report 2008
3) Installed the BOBJ/SAP integration kit.
4) Did the configuration steps as per the manual downloaded from SAP site named:"XI3-1_BIP_SAP_INSTALL_EN.pdf"
I created create a report, but I am not able to publish it. I am clicking the option to directly publish it to enterprise.But its failing complaining regarding some BI roles..not sure...My BW publisher service is starting fine.
Only thing is, I have created all the athorizations etc. i can also Log in to CMC with my BW credentials..So I am assuming BOE is atleast talking with SAP. But my my main aim is publishing reports on the server, which isnt happening when I save it with the above option.
Ok..one more thing, i have not performed the steps for the SAP/BOBJ server side trust..I think this might be the reason as well..Wanted your opinion on it.
Appreciate your input as always..
Thanks,
AK
