1578334 - How to use a report based on SAP ECC data which is accessed using the Crystal Open SQL driver

• Trying to run a Crystal Report connected to SAP ECC data in a VS .NET application
• On report load the following error is thrown:

Error: CrystalDecisions.Shared.CrystalReportsException was unhandled
Message="Load report failed."
Source="CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine"

• Crystal Reports 2008
• VS .NET 2008
• Crystal Open SQL driver (Database Type: SAP Table, Cluster, or Function)

• The load method must be executed by passing an Enterprise session (even if the report isn't housed in InfoView)
• Example code:

ReportDocument oRpt = new ReportDocument();
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.EnterpriseSession oEnterpriseSession = (new CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.SessionMgr()).Logon("Administrator", "youradminpassword", "yourinfoviewserver", "Enterprise");

oRpt.Load(reportFileName,oEnterpriseSession);
oRpt.SetDatabaseLogon("yourSAPuserID", "yourSAPpassword");

crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = oRpt;
