Activate corresponding Crystal Reports and the associated queries in the BI Content Activation Workbench (transaction BSANLY_BI_ACTIVATION) or in the BW system in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSOR).
See BI Content Activation Workbench and Data Warehousing Workbench.
In the BW system, proceed as follows:
Call transaction RSOR (Data Warehousing Workbench).
Choose BI Content in the left-hand screen area.
Click Crystal Report (CRWB) and then double-click Select Objects. Select the corresponding reports in the dialog window and choose Transfer Selections.
To be able to work with the BI Content objects, you have to transfer them from the delivery version (D version) to the active version (A version), that is, you have to activate the BI Content. See Copying BI Content to the Active Version and Troubleshooting (Content Activation).
Publish Reports
Publish the reports on SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Server (BOE). You publish the reports in the BW system in the Content Administration Workbench (transaction /Crystal/RPTADMIN).
