How to connect to SAP BW?

[Former Member]

I already set up Crystal report 2008, but can not connect to SAP BW. Could anyone tell me how to connect? Do I need to install additional package? Thanks!

Now I just use free Crystal report 2008 with 30 days limitation.In this case I can not get SAP BO Integration kit. So how can I connect BO to SAP? Could I download this kit anywhere?

Hi,

After you install the SAP BO Integration kit and Crystal XI, open the Crystal XI and then access the SAP menu - you should be able to connect to BW query using SAP -> Create New report from Query and create a formatted report in crystal.

(or) you can also go to Database ->Database expert ->Create New connection -> connect to you SAP BW system
