Universes are meta-data layers similar to Business Views. A Universe Connection is literally your method of connecting the Universe to its back-end data source (like a data connection in a Business View)... ODBC connection, etc. Universes are created using the Universe Designer application...

I have found that the CMC takes 'forever' to update to match the CCM status values. Check to see that the FRS services are pointing to the same locations. Input1 / Input2 = FRSx; Output1 / Output2 = FRSy Each uses their local defaults at installation until told otherwise. Rod Oatis, CECP...

What db are you using as your sys db ? How are you connecting to it ? Is the method and account info the exact same from both APS machines ? What are the event log msgs re: the APS services ? Do the services show as running via the CCM on both machines ? Do not use the CMC as your frame of...

Does the user account have the rights to create virtual directories on the web server ? What is the web server, by the way ? Re: the pages not showing up. What was the message returned from the server. If it was a 'not suthorized' msg, then that is a security setting that can be changed on the...

The supported distribution options for CR10 are exporting the report to a different format and CE Express for the Pro version. Other than that, CE is the next option. The developer and advanced versions have the plug-ins for app dev and app integration. What problems were you having with CE10 ...

Your impression is correct. The RAS product that ships with CR is designed simply to be a web front-end to a low-end report distribution system. It was not intended for heavy scheduling. Crystal Enterprise is the product for scheduling, distribution, and security. You have various licensing...

Upgrading to CR9 does not solve the issue of your application. CR8.5 and CR9 Devel have different distribution licenses, therefore they cannot be viewed as 'equal' products. CE may be the better route, in the long run for multiple users, but it is not a free item. More users will still cost you...

If you don't need the security and you have your own app for distribution, then CE would be unnecessary overhead. I lot of my clients have gone the route that you have taken. Rod Oatis Venturi Technology Partners Crystal Decisions Certified Trainer/Consultant/Developer Rod_Oatis@hotmail.com

What is you need for the web ? Consumption only or users refreshing the data via the web ? CE is the web-based distribution and scheduling product. If you have a distribution mechanism, already, then you don't need CE. Be aware that CR have a broadcast license that governs how reports created...
