Also, forgot to mention this is with Oracle direct connection and Java.

Hi, I was wondering if somone could give me a summary of what the process is to pass in Parameters to CRXI from a URL to Parameters in the report to the database connection? I am especially interested in how this works in subreports... Thanks.

Hi, I would be sure to know about the different ways of publishing reports to BOE - 1 - Through the workbench, they can also be published as objects packages (bundles of reports that can be scheduled as a singular entity) through there. 2 - Through the Publishing Wizard. 3 - Saving directly...

What is the benefit of CR Server, anyways? Is it a skinnied down version of Enterprise or am I mistaken? Thanks.

I have heard bad things about uncertified training. I heard New Horizons or the Learning Tree (I can't remember which) doesn't have a limit to class size, so people get pared up on computers. I've also heard from people who've attended training at The Learning Tree that they felt like they...

I had to wait several months to get my certificate, but it could have been slowness on the part of the partner I am affiliated with. I think, overall the certification is worth it. I do think some of the RD 4 topics are questionable, though. Has anyone used the Dependency Walker lately?

Wow, that's news to me that XI could be installed side-by-side! I'm really happy to hear that... I heard from two people that this was not the case, so I never tried it. I guess that's what I get for listening to other people! d'oH!

I purchased the partner recert. package which included some materials about what's new in XI.

here's another article i found: http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/cr_xi_supported_platforms.pdf.asp

Well, check out this link, it does say XP. If you are concerned about running it on home, contact tech support. http://www.businessobjects.com/products/reporting/crystalreports/sysreq.asp

Hi, I think that why it's not working is because instead of: if isnull({mytable.field}) then "0" else {mytable.field} you need to use CurrentFieldValue, rather than the db fields, because the cross tab is generating the summaries on the fly. So try: if isnull(CurrentFieldValue)then "0" else...

Hi, You can download a free 30 day trial of XI off the BO website. Here's the link: http://www.businessobjects.com/solutions/crystalreports/default.asp I would highly recommend doing this, because there is quite a big difference between 8.5 and XI. I would play around with new features that...

OK, so I just finished taking the two exams as well for XI. I passed them both; the first with an 88%, and the second with an 82%. Yes, they weren't easy, the second was very tough for me. As far as preparation, I would agree with what's been said; read Annette's book. A few other tips - 1...

Hi Annette, It's me again, the big pain. Just kidding! :) I went to your web site and noticed the error I found was also in your errata list. Duh. So, I think I found another error that was not in the file on your web site. I was trying out your example on the bottom of 477 to the top of...

Hi, I am reading over Annette's book, and I'm on page 520 for those of you who have it and can help me with this one. The first thing she mentions, about Database Files is that they can only use indexed fields for linking, and that LOJ is the default. I tried this out with XI, and it seems...
