Hi all,
We have the following situation: We have a SAP Crystal Server installation with an ODBC connection. The Crystal Reports developers use SAP Crystal Reports 2011 and publish their reports to this SAP Crystal Server.
Now they want to combine some data from the ODBC source with data from a SAP BW BEx Query. I'm trying to figure out what the right scenario would be and if this is possible at all.
I tried to create an OLAP Connection on the SAP Crystal Server, but this is not possible due to licensing restrictions. Next I installed Crystal Reports 2011 myself and tried to connect to the BEx query via the MDX-connection option. This worked. But, I guess there also needs to be something done at the Crystal Server side to make this work when other users run the report through BI Launchpad. Some kind of server connection between the Crystal Server and SAP BW system should be in place.
What additional settings/installations have to be done to make this work?
Thanks!
Xavier
