Salesforce Connector for SAP Crystal Reports How to Get Profiles

Introduction

In this article we will delve deeper into Salesforce and SAP Crystal Reports integration, and will learn how to get profiles. We are continuing from where we left off. By this time, you must have installed ODBC PowerPack, created ODBC Data Source, and configured authentication settings in your Salesforce account .

So, let's not waste time and begin.

Use Query Builder to generate SQL query

  1. The first thing you have to do is open Query Builder:

    ZappySys API Driver - Salesforce
    Amazon Ads Connector can be used to get Amazon advertisements using Amazon Advertisements API, download various advertisement-related reports.
    SalesforceDSN
    Open Query Builder in API ODBC Driver to read and write data to REST API
  2. Then simply select the Get Profiles endpoint (action).

  3. Continue by configuring the Required parameters. You can also set optional parameters too.

  4. Move on by hitting Preview Data button to preview the results.

  5. If you see the results you need, simply copy the generated query:

    Get Profiles
    This Endpoint has no parameters.
    SELECT * FROM Profiles
    Query Builder
  6. That's it! You can use this query in SAP Crystal Reports.

Let's not stop here and explore SQL query examples, including how to use them in Stored Procedures and Views (virtual tables) in the next steps.

SQL query examples

Use these SQL queries in your SAP Crystal Reports data source:

How to Get Profiles

SELECT * FROM Profiles

get_profiles endpoint belongs to Profiles table(s), and can therefore be used via those table(s).
