Can CR9 write reports from SAP?

[feazelb]

I have a client why is changing from and old system to SAP in the near future. Will I be able to use my current reports with SAP? If so where does one find the drivers?

Thanks for your time.

SAP does have a database, but you can bet that it will be very different.

The usual mode is to use the SAP BW product for reporting, doing so directly against SAP is really ugly...

And last, your current reports are probably not going to work without MAJOR overhauls.

The solution I pointed to allows integration directly with SAP R/3. They recommend it only as a stop gap measure until BW is implemented. It also is supposed to cut down on migrating reports again when BW is implemented. Since portions of our new SAP solution goes live soon, and BW isn't slated until mid 2005, something will have to happen in the middle. I am hoping this will work for us. I am still trying to get my hands on some more technical specs/info for evaluation.
