Crystal Report Light

[Former Member]

Hello guys,

I have to create reports on live data from the tables of CRM Box. We can think of only one option i.e. Crystal Report Live. I just want to know if Crystal Report Light is a part of SAP NW2004s or we need to buy seperate BO with SAP integration toolkit and get another licence for that. We don't want to buy licence if it is seperate install. CR Light has the basic features of crystal reports that we can use to create some of the reports. I would like to know that how can we implement CR Light. If it is a part of SAP NW then I will talk to my basis guys and they can install support pack for that. In short I need details of CR Light.

Here is more details of CR light.

Crystal Reports is not part of NW 7.0. You have to have the Business Objects SAP Integration Kit installed. There is licensing ramifications for this kit.

Hi,

Crystal Reports is not part of SAP NW.Its from BOBJ.

You need to get a sepearate license for the same.Once you install CR in the client system,you have to install SAP Front End Tools(BEx Tools) and also the SAP Integration Kit.Once it is done,you can create a report using SAP BW objects by connecting through backend and can save the reports in SAP Backend.

Rgds,
