IDE or trial version for SAP Business Objects for accessing Crystal Reports in BO 6.5 SP4

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Our client has Crystal Reports in BO 6.5 SP4 and the client is not able to provide client tools. We have rpt reports and we need just open them see the data mapping.

From where can we install client tools? Can we open/access Crystal Reports in BO 6.5 in BO 3.1 or higher version?

Will BO Info Edge or Business One serve the purpose?

You cannot access reports in 6.5 using other version of product. Crystal Report are not native to 6.5 version and most likely are stored in the repo as agnostic documents.
CR and BOE were integrated in XI version first.
If this 6.5 environment is running or you have bomain.key for it - you can try importing content from it into XIR2 environment using import wizard and then move it to current versions using UMT.

Or if 6.5 is running save those reports on hard drive and open them using current CR reports Designer.
