What is Report category in SAP-HR Reports ?

Hi SAP-HR Experts .
Dear Friends tell me about
What is Report category in SAP-HR Reports ?
How to create it ?
Can we set authorizations for a Repots , if Yes the how can we set it .?
Please elaborate your replies with examples .
Best Regards to ALL .
Rajneesh .

Report Category are used in reports with an LDB, usually PNP. Basically it's the configuration for the selection screen when the report is called. Among the choices you have which fields should appear on the first page, if sorting is allowed, etc, all sort of configuration.
How to see.
You can take one example, for example RPCALP0 (portuguese version, just substitute P0 with the version you use). Go to transaction SE38 and exhibit the report. Then yoy must select GOTO-->ATTRIBUTES and on the bottom tray there is a button that reads "HR report category". Just click that and on the next popup click Report Category again. So you have an example there of report category __M00001.
To create it's the same way, when you EDIT a report and click on report category the next popup has a create button.
The second question about authorization, it's quite simple, you can either use standard objects of authorization (like P_ORG for example), or your own Z objects. The sintax in ABAP is :
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'Z_AREA_SUB'
             ID 'PERSA' FIELD w_werks
             ID 'BTRTL' FIELD w_btrtl.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      CONTINUE.
    endif.
This is an example for a Z object to read authorization for WERKS and BTRTL of an employee.

What is Item Category in SAP CRM ? Where exactly it will be useful ?

What is Item Category in SAP CRM ? Where exactly it will be useful ? Please explain in detail.
Edited by: Rajanand Tadakamadla on Nov 6, 2010 12:46 PM

Hello Rajanand,
1. Item Category :
You define the item categories for business transactions.Like transaction types, an item category is assigned to one or more business transaction categories
An item category specifies the properties and attributes of a business transaction item, and therefore controls how the item is processed
First, you assign the item category to an item object type. The item object type defines the business context in which an item category is used.
ExampleBUS200140- CRM Service Product Item.
2. Item Category Group
With the help of the item category group, you review the various products from a business view for item category determination. Enter the item category group for each product in the product master.(T Code COMMPR01)
During business transaction processing, the system creates the item category from the item category group for the product, and from the business transaction category, and proposes it in the document.
You can assign item categories to business transaction types and item category groups in the process Maintain item category determination.
3.Item Categories Usages
The item category usage is generally used for items that do not refer to a product (for example, Free Items, text items).
The item category usage is assigned to the respective transaction types when the item category is determined. When processing documents, the system determines the item category from the transaction type and item category group or the item category usage and proposes it in the document.

Reading Archived Data Through SAP Query Report

Dear SAP Gurus,
My client archived their SAP data in a particular year range and all the Z reports have to modified to read these archive data. Normal ABAP reports can be modified to read the archive data without no problem.
But there are two Z SAP query reports which should be modified the same way so it will be able to read archive data.
What is the best method for this? Does SAP Query tool provide facility to read archive data? or do I have to append the code?
Thank you in advance for your help

No, do not adapt the SAP generated report source. The reason is: every time someone re-generates the query from tx. SQ01 your changes will be lost.
You could add the functionality Manathan gave you to add to the infoset of said query - but to be honest: in my opinion that is shooting nuclear rockets at flies. Also you run the risk that every change of the infoset (add a join/delete a join) requires adjustment of said coding you applied ... and where will you be then? Fancy repairing the same query over and over again? Try talk sense to your client - go for a Z-report here ...

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.

Crystal Report Viewer Credential Prompt for Report with Dynamic Parameters

The .NET Crystal Report Viewer is prompting for database credentials when launching a report containing dynamic parameters. This only occurs for reports created with SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer. Reports created with Crystal Reports XI designer (where dynamic parameters were first introduced) work correctly.
The credential prompt window contains the following fields:
- Server Name: <server name> (disabled)
- Database Name: <database name> (disabled)
- User Name: <empty> (enabled)
- Password: <empty> (enabled)
- Use Single Signon Key: false (disabled)
The values in the prompt window which are disabled are the database connection values used during the design of the report in the SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer.
Expected Result:
- No prompt for database credentials.
- Values read from the database should be populated in a drop down for the dynamic parameters.
Environment:
- Visual Studio 2010 (C#)
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4
- SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010
- SAP Crystal Reports 2011
The database connection is being set to use a DSN. It must be a DSN as the calling application is only aware of the DSN/Username/Password values. These values are being passed to the Crystal Report Viewer contained in a Windows form.
The database connection for the report is being set as follows:
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection otherwise the connection does not work
    if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
        internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
    // Supposed to set the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
    internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
The SetConnection method's signature is as follows:
   SetConnection(string server, string database, string name, string password)
As you can see from the code snippet above I am setting the DSN name as the server parameter, blank for the database parameter (a database connection using DSN should only require DSN name/Username/Password) and the database username and password respectively.
Is this a SAP bug?
Is this the correct way of setting the database connection to use a DSN?
Is there some other properties that need to be set somewhere else in the report through code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the pointer to the database connection code generator. After taking a look at the output from the tool I was able to finally get the dynamic parameters to load and populate properly without prompting for credentials. I needed to tweak the outputted code a bit to match my requirements of using a DSN only connection.
Instead of updating the database connection properties contained within the Report.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalReports.Engine namespace, I changed it to replace the database connection properties in the Report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel namespace. For one reason or another, using the RAS namespace solved the problem.
Below is the updated code with the change made:
using RAPTable = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table;
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection
    if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
        internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
    // Sets the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
    internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
// The attributes for the QE_LogonProperties which is part of the main property bag
PropertyBag innerPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
innerPropertyBag.Add("DSN", this.DSN);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UserID", this.LoginName);
innerPropertyBag.Add("Password", this.Password);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UseDSNProperties", "true");
// The attributes collection of the tables ConnectionInfo object
PropertyBag mainPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
mainPropertyBag.Add("Database DLL", "crdb_ado.dll");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_DatabaseType", "OLE DB (ADO)");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_LogonProperties", innerPropertyBag);
// Pass the database properties to a connection info object
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
connectionInfo.Attributes = mainPropertyBag;
connectionInfo.Kind = CrConnectionInfoKindEnum.crConnectionInfoKindCRQE;
connectionInfo.UserName = this.LoginName;
connectionInfo.Password = this.Password;
// Replace the database connection properties of each table in the report
foreach (RAPTable oldTable in this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables)
    RAPTable table = new RAPTable();
    table.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
    table.Name = oldTable.Name;
    table.QualifiedName = oldTable.QualifiedName;
    table.Alias = oldTable.Alias;
    this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation(oldTable, table);
this.report.VerifyDatabase();
Thanks again Ludek for the help.

Upgrade from crystal report 8.5 to crystal report 2011

Hi All,
Currently we are using crystal report 8.5 (PEAPI and dictionary files) (with VB6) to generate historical data for our product. Reports can have millions of records. We are using 2-tier architecture ( our client resides on windows machine and database
- Oracle10g dedicated server- resides on linux server).
We are planning to upgrade it to CR2011(with .NET)
My understanding is :
Crystal report designed in SAP Crystal Report 2011/SAP Crystal Reports(version for Visual Studio 2010)/.NET SDK for CR2011 and developed in VS2010 will use Crystal Reports(version for Visual Studio 2010) runtime. Please comment.
Is there any way to use PE APIs in Crystal report 2011 ? If not which is the best way to upgrade ?
Please comment.
Thanks,
Gaurav

Hello,
Not sure which viewer you are using, should be CR.Windows.Form and in code using RAS ( Report Application Server ) you'll get these options which are now controllable by you to allow all or just some:
private void ViewReport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    rptClientDoc = rpt.ReportClientDocument;
    //crystalReportViewer1.ShowProgressAnimation(false);
    crystalReportViewer1.ShowGroupTreeButton = false;
    crystalReportViewer1.EnableDrillDown = false;
    //rpt.Refresh();
    crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rpt;
    // next line causes a delay due to the engine having to go to the last page.
    //rpt.FormatEngine.GetLastPageNumber(new ReportPageRequestContext());
// set up the format export types:
int myFOpts = (int)(
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.RptFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.PdfFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.RptrFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.XLSXFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.CsvFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.EditableRtfFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelRecordFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.RtfFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.WordFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.XmlFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelFormat |
    CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.ExcelRecordFormat);
    //CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.NoFormat); // show no export types
    //int myFOpts = (int)(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ViewerExportFormats.AllFormats);
crystalReportViewer1.AllowedExportFormats = myFOpts;
Only change is the Excel Export formats have changed, and no option to use the old Excel types available in CR 8.5. Search Kbase for Exporting to Excel, there is a great article on how to optimize your reports for best output.

SAP Standard Report for Cost Element Category

Hi All,
I just wanted to know that if there are any report(s) involving Cost element categories. Say for example, if the cost element category is provided the report fetches the cost elements associated with the category and the documents posted.
Thanks and Regards,
Gnanasambanthan.V

Hi,
There is no standard report based on cost element category, but of course, you can use, for example, KSB5 and give the selection of the cost elements you want to present. I presume, you have different number range for each category and it could be easily distinguished in the selection screen.

Eli
