How to create a crystal reports from infocube

[ivan_wang]

Hi everyone

I'm a new one in BOBJ, after few weeks learning, I've come across a problem.

Is it possible to create a CR via an infocube?

What would i do if it's possible.

Thank you very much

Hello Ivan,

you can built a report against the cube and against the query level in Crystal Reports. We highly recommend the cube level.

why ? because when connecting to the cube directly you will lose the following:

- navigational attributes

- calculated keyfigures

- restricted keyfigures

- variables

- conditions

- authorization variables

Hi,

I would suggest to take a look to the following blogs from Ingo:

[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/004aacbb-4983-2b10-8da7-cdff5dcbb948]

They contain valuable information regarding the integration of the BOBJ reporting tools (incl. Crystal Reports) with SAP BW.
