Could CR boxset / CRS connect to SAP ERP/BW?

[Former Member]

Hi

Because our customer don't have enough budget

1) I want to know if CR boxset can connect to SAP ERP/BW

    if it is ok, then it is the cheapest way to connect to SAP ERP, just US$ 4xx

and

2) Could CRS connect to SAP ERP/BW?  

Because CRS 2008 don't have SAP integration kit

But i don't know if CRS 2011 need SAP integration kit to connect SAP or not

Many thanks

John

Hi John,

Crystal Reports Designer can connect to SAP ERP/BW.

This Wiki has almost everything you need to know about CR and BW configuration.

Crystal Reports Server (CRS) 2008 can also connect to SAP ERP/BW, however just like CR 2008 it requires the SAP Integration Kit to be installed separately. The installation files are available in the Service Maket Place.

For Crystal Reports 2011 Designer and CR Server 2011 the SAP Integration Kit is pre-installed with the software.

Both the versions however require that you load the right 'Transports'. Information on how to load Transports is also available in the same Wiki.

Hope this helps.
