When the Report Application Server (RAS) processes a publication, a view event is triggered and appears in the Auditing database under the following circumstances: · The publication contains source documents that are created in Crystal Reports 2011. · The publication uses a dynamic recipient source in Crystal Reports 2011 format. ADAPT01427812 Text variables are not supported in report content Crystal Reports does not support text variables in report content. ADAPT01427899 The Crystal Reports SAP BW Query data driver is no longer supported In Crystal Reports 2011, SAP BW connectivity using the Crystal Reports SAP BW Query driver is no longer supported. There are two options: you can change the driver to the SAP BW MDX driver; or you can migrate the report to Crystal Reports for Enterprise if you do not want to save your report to the BW repository. Open the . rpt file with Crystal Reports 2011. Click Database > Set Data source Location. Use an existing SAP BW MDX data connection, or create a new SAP BW MDX data connection, to replace the old SAP BW Query data connection. To migrate your report to the Crystal Reports for Enterprise SAP BEx Query Data Access driver: 1. Open the . rpt file with Crystal Reports for Enterprise. Follow the migration wizard to set the data source location to Crystal Reports for Enterprise SAP BEx Query Data Access. ADAPT01432005 Modify custom WebLogic IMB web application servers to connect to SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise If you try to connect to an SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise server and you have written your own web application deployed on WebLogic web application server, you may encounter the following error: "com. crystaldecisions. sdk. exception. SDKException$ConfidentialChannelFailed: Failed to establish confidential channel. " This may be due to the classloading preference of the WebLogic application server where it loads the application server's own classes instead of the classes in your web application. To fix this problem, modify the weblogic. xml descriptor by adding the following configuration option: <weblogic-web-app> <container-descriptor> <prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes> </container-descriptor> </weblogic-web-app> 13 SAP Crystal Reports 2011 - Release Notes ADAPT01434265 Viewing transparent areas of charts or images in Crystal Reports When using WebLogic as the web application server (on a UNIX platform) to view a Crystal report that has transparent charts or images, you may notice that areas that should be transparent are not. To display the report correctly, set the following option in the JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable before you start WebLogic: "-Djava. awt. headless=true" ADAPT01438978 Conflicts between SAP Security Plug-in and SAP DB drivers SAP roles imported in SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise using SNC are not able to view reports. The SNC name used by the SAP authentication plugin to import SAP roles cannot be specified in the SNC Access Control List (ACL). SAP database drivers require an SNC name in the ACL. To work around this conflict, specify a separate SNC name to be used for the SAP database drivers. Use the following instructions to configure the SNC name: 1. Create a separate certificate file with all the required configuration details. For more information, see "Configuring SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise for server-side trust" in the "SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide. " 2. In the Central Management Console, go to Authentication > SAP > SNC Settings. Provide all the configuration details under "SNC name of Enterprise system". Note: The SNC name configured above is not the same name used to import SAP roles into the system. ADAPT01439991 If the destination value is empty when scheduling a publication to print, the default printer will be used When scheduling a publication to a printer, a "Printer Name" event is detailed under the destination event. [. . . ] However, in the unlikely event of a problem arising that requires changes to the underlying SAP data connectivity, SAP BusinessObjects may not be able to address it completely after March 31st, 2014. Note that SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise is not affected by this issue. It is recommended that you transition to SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise if you intend to use SAP BW Data Access. 21 SAP Crystal Reports 2011 - Release Notes Security ADAPT01448663 Crystal Report document right CeReportRightID.
