32 bit and 64 bit SAPCRYTPO DLLs on BI 4.1 for Crystal and WEBI reports scheduling

[Former Member]

We currently have BOBJ 4.1 SP5 Patch 3 installed.

We have been using sapcrypto.dll 32 bit version for scheduling Crystal reports on the BI Platforms using SAP BW data sources.

We now need to be able to schedule WEBI reports using Universes(unv) on BW data sources.

I read on SAP marketplace that  WEBI reports need 64 bit sapcrypto.dll.

I also saw references to update the registry key for Crystal reports to work, when 64 bit dll is installed for WEBI.

When I check our system, I dont even see SAP BusinessObjects under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Wow6432Node

WINDOWS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Wow6432Node > SAP BusinessObjects > Suite XI 4.0 > SAP > SNC_LIB_32

Does this mean that we can have both the 32bit and 64 bit sapcrypto dlls on the same same server.

Does anyone have experience doing these. I don't want to jump in and do it and end up breaking the crystal reports that works perfectly fine now.

(We had lot of issues to get the crystal reports working :-), don't want to get into the vicious circle )

Any advise is appreciated. Thank you very much 🙂

U are correct Suman this is how SNC work in 4.1 Env.

Webi uses 64bit and Crystal Uses 32 bit

for the same reason commoncrypto dll will be used for entire configuration.
