Cause
- In Crystal Reports 2016 with Support Pack 05 - Patch 100 and higher, with SAP GUI 7.50, there is currently a known issue connecting to an SAP BW Message server, if the Message Server name is not fully qualified, and this is why it fails to connect to SAP BW.
- Note: The issue does not occur when connecting to an Application server. It is only an issue when connecting to a Message Server.
Resolution
- In the SAP Logon, update the SAP BW Message Server entry to include a fully qualified domain name from the Message Server entry.
- In SAP Logon, edit the SAP BW Message Server entry, by right clicking on it, and selecting "Properties"
- In the "System Entry Properties", update the Message Server entry, to a fully qualified domain name.
For example:
If the Message Server is: MyMessageServerHost,
then enter a fully qualified domain name like: MyMessageServerHost.example.com
- Click "OK" to accept the change.
