Connect Crystal Report 2013 to SAP BO BI Server

[Former Member]

Hi all.

I have to develop for the first time reports for Crystal Report Enterprise per BOBI 4.1 SP4. I generally use Crystal Report 2013 to implement reports in my past experiences.

Now my customer provide me some info to connect their SAP BO BI Server

- BI Platform Web Services Server Name

- BI Platform Web Services Server Port Number

- BI Platform Web Services Server Context

but I cannot find a way to configure a connection to SAP BO BI Server with those parameters.

So my doubt is: is it possible to develop reports for Crystal Report Enterprise per BOBI 4.1 SP4 using Crystal Report 2013 or do I need a different development tool? If yes, how can I configure to establish a connection from CR 2013 to SAP BO BI Server?

Thanks in advance for your support

Best Regards

Paolo

Hi Paolo,

CR for Enterprise is a separate CR designer introduced with BI 4.x

You can download the software from the Service Market place and use the same license key as CR 2013 to install.

Follow this blog for more info on how to connect to the BI platform from CR for Enterprise:
