Hi - have you installed the SAP Integration Kit, as mentioned here? http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/businessobjects-bi-for-sap/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-...

Separately, I recommend going with Crystal for Enterprise with BW; lately SAP has said to only use Crystal Reports 2013 if you need more functionality with SAP ERP than Crystal for Enterprise

Hi Jatin - I don't know where the integration kit is anymore; I recommend using Crystal for Enterprise instead as it doesn't require the integration kit and you can connect your BEx queries using the OLAP connections.  It provides the same functionality.

Yes , Thank you for the Reply ,

But Here Based on Requirement We have to create Crystal Report 2013 Report via Connectivity Bex Query.

That doesn't sound like a business requirement to me

What are the business requirements?  If the requirement is to have pixel perfect formatted reporting then Crystal for Enterprise works; in fact, it has some better features than Crystal 2013.

That said, you can also contact SAP Support at support.sap.com to try to find the integration kit.

Hello Jatin,

especially when you are looking for the connectivity for the BEx query you should look at Crystal REports for Enterprise as the connectivity from Crystal Reports 2013 has not been enhanced for several years because the Crystal Reports for Enterprise is the "go to" release for BEx query connectivity
