Good morning
I hope someone could have some useful information regarding an error I'm facing now.
I have a BO Crystal Reports Report, which is based on a Business View. Such BV in turn, is based on a SAP BW Query. Such a BV was modified recently, so that it returns 2 more columns needed in my report.
The problem: If I go the Business View, and open the Data Foundation related to the BV, I can open it up, but then, when I Verify the Database (Menu Tools-> Verify Database), a login window appears so that I provide the user and password for retrieving the new BW Query structure from the BW server (based on the SAP Logon entries I have on my local machine). I provide the user and password and then, the login window asks for extended data parameters (to generate Followup RFC files and Show empty data options). However, after I provide such login credentials and options, the login window shows up again, asking for the login credentials. I can go on and on, writing the login credentials, but the login window comes up and up again (no error message gets displayed at any point).
I tried to generate a brand new Crystal Reports Report, by using a SAP BW MDX Query connection, and I could get the new structure for the SAP BW Query I need to use (including the 2 new columns I need), so I can see data for them coming into the report. With this, at least I got to know that the login credentials I provide via SAP BO Business View Manager, for the SAP BW server, are correct. I tried to use this brand new report (the one with the SAP BW MDX Query connection in it), but I had not success when putting it to work in the BOE Server (when I execute it , the BOE Server asks for the BW login connection parameters even though I have explicitly set up the report to work with the DB connection used at design time).
Since it was very time consuming I need to go back to the original plan (to get the report to work by using a Business View), but I'm stuck in the step of providing the login credentials for refreshing the SAP BW Query Structure.
Hint: A coworker who signs up in a different network, is able to do the verify database process with no problem at all. So I signed up to the network he works, via VPN, using his credentials, but the problem keeps happening. I was not able to locate any logs for the BO BVManager tool so I feel I can not ad up any more valuable information
My Environment Technical Reference
BOE Server 4.0 SP 10 Patch 1
Crystal Reports 2011
Client Tools 4.0 SP 10 Patch 1 applied locally
Any help is very welcomed.
Best regards
