1921554 - How to verify the version of the SAP Integration Kit Transports loaded on the SAP Netweaver or SAP BW System? [Video]

• What is the version of the SAP Integration Kit Transports loaded on the SAP System?
    
• How can we confirm the exact version of the SAP Integration Kit Transports loaded on the SAP BW System or SAP Netweaver System?
    
• In the Transport Management System (STMS), it the does not show the SAP Integration Kit Transports. How do we know if the functionality is loaded on the system, and the version of it?

• SAP Crystal Reports 2013
• SAP Crystal Reports 2016
• SAP Crystal Reports 2020
    
• SAP Netweaver 7.4
• SAP Netweaver 7.5

• In the past, to quickly know the version of the SAP Integration Kit Transports loaded on the SAP System, we looked in the Transport Management System (STMS)
      
• Now, most of the required functions, programs, and objects for Crystal Reports to connect to an SAP System are loaded automatically to the SAP System when applying an SAP Netweaver update, therefore, there will be no history of loaded transports of the SAP Integration Kit in the Transport Management System, and therefore we do we know the version of the SAP Integration Kit Transports loaded.

• To know the SAP Integration Kit Transports version loaded on the SAP System, verify the version of the functions loaded on the SAP System for the type of SAP connectivity used.
      
1. Login to the SAP System.
       
2. Type transaction: SE38
   
    
   
      
3. In the ABAP Editor, type the program name corresponding to the connection type, or functionality, you want to verify the version:
   
   

   Connection Type	Program
   MDX Query Connectivity	/CRYSTAL/SAPLMDX
   Open SQL Connectivity	/CRYSTAL/OSQL_EXECUTE
   Info Set Connectivity	/CRYSTAL/QUERY_BATCH
   Row Level Security Tool	/CRYSTAL/RLSDEF
   Cluster Definition	ZCIMPRBG
   Content Administration	/CRYSTAL/CONTENT_ADMIN
   ODS Connectivity	/CRYSTAL/SAPLODS_REPORT
   Personalization	/CRYSTAL/LPERSU01
   Authentication Helpers	/CRYSTAL/SAPLSECURITY

   
       
   For example, for the Open SQL Connectivity, type the program name: /CRYSTAL/OSQL_EXECUTE
   
   
     
   
   
4. Click on the button "Display"
     
   
     
   It will display the program code
     
     
     
5. To verify the version, go under the menu "Utilities", and select: "Versions - Version Management"
     
   
   
     
      
6. You will then be able to see the version of the program.  
           
   
     
   Notes:
• If the version is blank, it means the function has been loaded by an SAP Netweaver update or an SAP BW update or upgrade.
• The recommendation is to always load the SAP Integration Kit Transports corresponding to the version of Crystal Reports used after each SAP Netweaver / SAP BW update. Once the SAP Integration Kit Transports are loaded, you will then be able to see the version for the functions.
        
     
7. Look at the SAP Integration Kit Transports version document to know if it match the version of the SAP Integration Kit you installed for Crystal Reports.
