WEBI & Crystal Report solution approach for BPC

Hi all,
Anyone know the solution approach for Web Intelligence and Crystal Report for BPC? I canu2019t seem to find any information with regards to developing these two types of reports directly from BPC. Iu2019ve got a document from SAP which mentions that although BPC is sitting on a BW platform and it has its own InfoProviders, SAP is not recommending to use these as the source.
The approach for Business Objects Xcelsius is fine as I managed to find it.
Really appreciate on any help that you can provide.
Thank you.
Cheers

Take a look at below links.

Total No of pages different in report printed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8)

Currently in our application, we are using Crystal Report XI R2 for generating the reports. We are in the process of upgrading the Crystal Report to SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). I updated that on my machine and all the reports work fine. I didn't have to modify any of the reports.
However when comparing the reports, we found that there are few reports on which the total no. of pages differ from the report displayed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). Comparing the reports, it looks all the data that were fit on one page earlier with version XI R2 doesn't fit on the same page with version 13.8, thereby increasing the page counts.
The fonts, page margins everything set on report itself. Nothing being set in the code.
Both the application is using the same report that is pulling the data from the same database. Our application is a web application.
Any suggestion, why this is happening.
Thanks.
Sanjay

I am not sure what is being compared here?
CRXI R2 designer to CRVS?
CR XI R2 in some version of .NET to CRVS?
CR XI R2 using RDC SDK to CRVS?
Also, is this happening on your development computer or after you deploy?
If you compare the the "Page setup" options dialog between reports that work and those that do not work, do you see any difference?
Is this a web or a win app?
Are you seeing the same issue when viewing and exporting - say export to PDF?
What is the printer driver used and it's version?

How to Render Webi, Crystal Report ,Xcelcius and Pioneer on the NW Portal

Gurus,
How to render each of the products mentioned below on the portal ,or what are the possible ways and best approach.
example - Iview or just Link on the Netweaver portal
Webi
Crystal Report
Xcelcius
Pioneer
Thanks in advance

hi,
at the end an iView is nothing else than just a container so it is up to you to decide how you want to show the content - as a link to a new page or as an embedded page or as iView...... that should be based on the requirements.

How to tell that Crystal Report 13.0 for VS 2010 installed on target mach

Hi,
I developed Windows application that has Crystal Report functionality.
The final step is distribution application development.
I am using Install Shield 2011 to build Basic MSI project.
What is the best registry key value I can use to identify the right version of Crystal Report redistributable has been already installed on target machine?
I think I am going to use one of the key values that located under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CrystalReports13.
But which one?
Also where can I get the minimum requirements when it comes to windows operating systems that supports Crystall Report 13.0 redistributable?
Thank you.

I installed CRRuntime_32bit_13.msi on Windows XP SP 3 machine, which is my testing production machine.
1. Under Add and Remove programs there is only one entry
-SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4(32-bit)
-SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010 has not been installed because I think there is no Visual Studio 2010 installed on the target machine.
2. During the installation registry keys have been created
HKLM\SOFTWARE\SAP Business Objects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0
These key has another 9 sub keys I am not going to list here.
3. After I manually uninstall runtime all registry keys have been deleted except:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\SAP Business Objects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Report Application Server
All assemblies from GAC have been uninstalled
win32_x86 folder has been uninstalled from
C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0
I hope this info will help to safe your development time.
Happy programming

Crystal reports solution

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out which products I need and where should I install them to implement Crystal reports for SSM 10.
Server A: NetWeaver 7.3 AS JAVA
Server B: SSM 10 AS
What should I get to implement the simplest solution?
I read that I can either Use the Strategy Management ODBO Provider or Use Query As A Web Service (QaaWS) to create connection between crystal reports and SSM. As I understand I need SAP BussinessObjects 4.0 for both of them. Am I right? If yes, could you please provide me with information, which is the correct release and edition for the simplest solution? I'm kind of lost.
Thanks!

I installed Crystal Reports 2011 and followed the guide SBOP Strategy Management Configuration Help (registered SSM dll's, edited the registry).
When creating OLAP Cube report's connection I'm getting an error, see picture below:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/705/olapcr.png/
As you can see in picture I'm getting an error on local cube file, but it's the same for SSM OLAP server, so it must be windows configuration problem. Any clue what is the problem?

Crystal Report Viewer fails for browser versions =10

We're using the Crystal Reports for VS2010 SP2 and get the following error when trying to generate a report in Firefox 10.0.2 and Chrome 18.0.1025.11 beta-m:

If I change the user agent string in Firefox to that of Firefox 7.0.1 everything works as expected, this implies there is some logic in get_IsNetscape6Up() which is failing because the major browser version as reported by the user agent string is two digits instead of one.
We encountered a similar issue for our legacy pages containing Infragistics 2007 controls but were able to fix that by overriding the System.Web.Configuration.HttpCapabilitiesBase.BrowserCapabilitiesProvider and faking the browser version to 9.80. Crystal Report Viewer is apparently not using .Net's built in HttpBrowserCapabilities object, is there anything else I can adjust to stop the viewer failing?

hello Robert
Today must be my day. I already got a reply from PM (normally it takes a "bit" longer...). Anyhow, here is what he said:
With Firefoxu2019s release cycles, I donu2019t think weu2019ll be able to officially support the latest versions
of Firefox at every service release. We do our best to test the released versions of Firefox
that align with our releases. I donu2019t know the details but Iu2019ve heard there is a plan in place where
the support team(s) (?) will test the most recent releases of Firefox with whatu2019s currently
shipping by SAP and log bugs as necessary.
(umm, this is my - Ludek note here ) -> news to me re. support doing QA... find out something new every day. Anyhow, continuation of the message from PM:
The current plan for CR for VS2010, the SP3 release (expected in April) will support up to
Firefox 9. If there are reproducible bugs in Firefox 10 (or higher), then please enter a bug
and escalate and it will be investigated for the next available release.
I'll revisit this once SP3 is out there and do an escalation for Firefox 10 - ok?

CRVS 2010 beta - Crystal Reports Beta 2 for VS 2010 fails to start

Right after I install it. I try to add a Crystal Reports item to my project and get an error indicating that the temporary report (.rpt) file can not be oppened. When I click OK I get a seccond error message "invalid key".
I tried reinstalling Crystal Reports and then Visual Studio with out success. This was working on the same laptop when using Vista, now I have Windows 7. But on my Windows 7 PC works ok.
Please help

Have you search forums for possible solutions before posting?
Typically this is caused by not setting/using the 4.0 framework ( not the client version ) or instlaling with DEP and UAC disabled.
Make the changes to security and then do a repair install.
Thank you

Web Crystal Report not working after period of time

Hi
I have had a problem for a long time now on one of our web servers, it's becoming more of an issue lately due to a web site using Crystal more. The problem is that the Crystal Report Viewer does not load after a few hours. If I re ship the main DLL into the Bin folder for the site, then something gets 'reset', and hey presto, Crystal starts working again.
The problem would even arise with a basic CR, with just one Textfield on it (i.e. not show)
Web server is 32 bit Windows Server Web Edition SP 2. Asp.Net project built in VS 2012 against .Net 4.0.
Anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks,
Julian

Make sure you are on SP 8
Make sure you are using .Close and .Dispose on your report objects as you get done with them.
What OS? (2003, 2008, 2012)
Provide more info on the following:

Crystal Reports background processing for SAP Business One 8.8

Dear Partners,
I have an SDK program developed in SAP Business One SDK that works in 2007, it calls crystal reports externally and can be executed as a background task using the windows schedular or from the command prompt.
My problem is it does not work under SAP Business One SDK 2008 PL18 with SQL Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008.
I receive the following message after this line in my code,"oReport.PrintToPrinter(CopyNo, False, 0, 0)".
'CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.LogOnException: Logon failed.

My Question is what Crystal Reports libraries or other method should I be using ?
Crystal Reports 2008 for SAP Business One eg. 51038978.zip - downloaded from portal obviously dosn't contain the CrystalDecisions libraries.
Crystall Reports 2008 - cr2008_sp3_fullbuild, cr2008fp33.exe, cr2008fp33_mm, cr2008fp33_clickonce - also download from the portal, the cr2008_sp3_fullbuild does contain the crystal decisions libraries.
Finally other choices are crystal reports included with the visual studio 2008 and crystal reports full version direct from Business Objects.
I have tried different versions of crystal decision libraries- eg, 12.0110 or 12.02 but still no joy.
Also if I manage to get the report to fire what should the client be running eg, if they have the Crystal Reports 2008 for Business One do they also need to install the Crystal Reports Run time - cr2008fp33_clickonce.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi John
Since the SDK works in 2007 it will be using the OLD DB access method.
Change the Crystal report to use an OLE DB datasource rather than the SAP Business One data source.

Crystal Report Layout asking for Login Info

I have modified the Delivery Note Crystal Report Layout for Business One by clicking the Edit button on the Report and Layout Manager for Delivery Note (Items). I then saved my modifications to a file. Finally, I go into Business One and import the Layout for Delivery Note (Items). When I preview the Layout it asks me for login information then continues to fail. How dow I make it so I can print the Delivery without having to constantly log in?

Hi Jeff,
I recently had a similar problem on an 8.82 implementation, having contacted and spoken to SAP Support multiple times these suggested fixes worked:
The request to login to the database when you open or print preview a Crystal
report is a known issue. To resolve this, I recommend you go through our Root
Cause Analysis (RCA) guide. Please see attac hed Note 1676353 on where to find
this. There are four Cases in this guide (which contain a number of Influences)
- please go through all Cases and Influences.
We also tried the following:
STEP 1:
Influence 2: Case 2 is to clear all the data for login (e.g. sa and
password - delete them) and then ticked 'Integrated Security#.
- Influence
3: #: Check the current datasource is to update connection.
- Retest opening
the system reports on a workstation.
- If they are still reporting an error
try the next step
- STEP 2:
- Change the datasource location of
the report from OLE DB to SAP Business One type and leave the
authentication
information blank. Try running the report in Crystal, and then import to SAP.
And also opened up the Crystal Report via the Edit button in SAP in Reports and Layouts Manager, we then clicked on the database connection and updated all the tables (even though they were the same) and these got the reports needed working. Speaking to SAP it is a known bug and they are releasing a hotfix to resolve it, but try explaining that to a customer !!!
Hope these help.
Regards
Sean

Crystal report parameter asking for DB login

Hi All,
I have created a crystal report in 2008, in my crystal reprot i have a command which gives me 2 columns and a stored proced which give me 6 columns and then i joined them in link tab.
Now in my report i have created a parameter using one the column from command. The data source for both are same database but diffrent tables.
When i exported the report to enterprise and try to schedle it, for parameter option when i try to edit the parameter it promps me for database logon every time (i.e. every time i edit parameter it promps for Db logon) and i have already provide DB creds in database information page.
BOXI R3.1 with no FP.
please suggest on this.
Thanks,
Nimesh.

In CMC, what option did you select on the Database Configuration section of the report properties?
If it is " Prompt users for database credentials", then it'll prompt users for credentials whenever the report is run.
If it is set to " use same credentials as above" (not exact wording), then it don't ask for credentials.

Crystal Reports Template : Data for Cash-Flow Analysis

Dear Experts,
We are working on cash flow forecasting model, i.e going forward 12 months, which in written in MS Excel. We update it with actual data recorded in SAP B1 (Ver 8.8 PL18) A manual process.
Was wondering if we can get a crystal report template which contain the following data:
Sales, Purchases, Collections and Payments by BP in a given time (user specified)
BP Code
BP Name
Sales Invoice #
Sales Invoice Date
Sales Invoice Value (total)
Sales Credit Memo #
Sales Credit Memo Date
Sales Credit Value (total)
Purchase Invoice #
Purchase Invoice Date
Purchase Invoice Value (total)
Purchase Credit Memo #
Purchase Credit Memo Date
Purchase Credit Value (total)
BP Receipt #
BP Receipt Date
BP Receipt Value
BP Payment #
BP Payment Date
BP Payment Value
Thank you to all who have answered this question posted earlier under queries, I am hoping we can get a combined report using CR, a feat not possible using SAP B1 Query function. I look forward to your advice.
Regards
Raj

Hi,
I am not familiar with crystal report. But using queries (that already answered) you can create crystal report.
You can also refer how to guide for creating crystal report in sap b1.
