24.3.3 Selecting business components
Once a connection is completed, Crystal Reports displays the list of business objects and business
components available. SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise and business components are displayed in a
tree structure, with business components shown under the business object that they are a part of. This
is formatted as:
business object.business component
You add business components to a report in the same way that you add tables to a report. If you select
multiple business components to place them in a report, you must link the business components. See
Linking tables in reports for details.
24.3.3.1 Filtering business components
If you apply a filter to the list of business components, it reduces only the number of business components
in the tree structure. All business objects will still be visible. Filtering business components should not
be necessary in most cases.
Tip:
If you apply a filter, it is applied to all data sources. Remember to reset the Options so that your search
will not be restricted when you connect to other business components at a later time.
24.3.4 Refreshing reports with Siebel data
You can modify the sample reports so that they report off the data stored in your Siebel environment.
This requires you to set each report's database location, so that it points to the Siebel system.
24.3.5 Updating reports created in earlier versions of Crystal Reports
It is recommended that you reset the datasource location of reports created with Crystal Reports 8.5
and earlier versions of the Integration product. To do so, you must reset each report's database location.
