CRM Is needed for “customer reports” application.
System Landscape Requirements
The app consists of front-end components and back-end components. The back-end components and the front-end components are delivered in separate products and have to be installed in a system landscape that is enabled for SAP Fiori.
Per my limited knowledge, according to SAP help on SAP CRM HANA Live Reporting, it is possible. We can use CRM on other DB + XSEngine deployed on BW ( HANA ).
URLs with the path /sap/hba/apps/crmhlq are routed to the OData port for the SAP HANA Extended Application Services in the SAP HANA database, which contains the SAP HANA Live Content with the query views used.
