We have a Win 2003 R2 server that is running SQL Server 2005 SP2. All SQL Server 2005 components EXCEPT Reporting Services were installed on this server when is was built. SQL Server 2005 was originally installed at RTM then upgraded to SP1 and then later upgraded to SP2. We now have a need...

I have a client who want to use Crystal Reports Server XI Release 2 to generate and distribute reports from their SAP Business One system. The SAP Business One database will be running on MS SQL Server 2000. I am very familiar with Crystal Reports Server but have minimal exposure to SAP...

There will only one AD group required (e.g. CRS_Users). Any other group stuff will be managed using the groups mechanism internal to CRS. Thanks for you reply, Regards, Steve Remington

I have to implement Crystal Reports Server and our network administrator wants to create a separate Active Directory account for Crystal Reports Server to use for the Active Directory Authentication integration. Our network administrator is pretty strict about the new accounts especially...

We would like to set up a Crystal Rpeorts Server XI on a Windows XP Pro SP2 workstation as a "proof-of-concept" environment. We would like to use CRS's .NET web component adapter. I have read the platforms file and it does not list Win XP Pro but I thought I would give it a go anyway. I set...

I have recently installed (and reinstalled) Crystal Reports XI Server and cannot view reports (either on demand or scheduled instances). When I attempt to view any report from the InfoView application I get the following error in the frame: Unable to retrieve Object. Object reference...

A question to the collective wisdom of the group about Informix stored procedures and union queries. After a bit of searching and fiddling I have written a simple Informix stored procedure that returns the required record set. See skeleton of working stored procedure below: CREATE PROCEDURE...

A question to the collective wisdom of the forum. I am in the process of setting up a Disaster Recovery site for our CE10 implementation. I have searched the BO support site and found the document "ce8_disaster_recovery_plan.pdf". I have read this and the process it seems reasonably...

I am about to kick-off a DW project and know that some sort of meta data repository is a must. We are using MS SQL Server 2000 with DTS for ETL. I know SQL Server comes with Meta Data Services but don't know much about its usefulness as a meta data repository or if it is just limited to ETL...

I am wanting to make a small customisation of the CE8 ePortfolio CSP code so that a hyperlink appears on the ePortfolio main page only if the logged on user is a member of a particular CE user group. I have had a look through the SDK and examined the CE8 system database but cannot seem to find...

Have you considered using the Processing Extensions capability that comes standard with with CE8.5. One thing that this functionality allows you to develop "View-Time-Security" for your reports. This means that you only have one set of reports because when the client logs in the CE...

Austral, If by "create Crystal interactive real-time reports on the Web" you mean distributing the reports to the big wide world make sure you choose the correct edition of CR9.0 because there specific licence limitations with respect to how many users your application delivers...

Ingensystems, While I'm not commenting one way or another about CD's prices or your suggestion not to purchase their products. I do take issue with your comment that systems just as these are "just reports" and not mission critical. I have developed many "just reports&quot...

Jex, DOes the new CE9.0 DHTML viewer place the same additional load on the WCS as the CE8.0 and CE8.5 DHTML viewer placed on the WCS. One of the big reason for using the ActiveX viewer with CE8/8.5 in addition to the functionality it provided was the fact that it significantly reduced the load...

If you are wanting to make it not possible for ALL users of ePortfolio to edit the Selection Formula you can make a reasonably simple change to the schedule.csp file to remove the option for "Filters" from the combo-box. If you have a basic understanding of HTML you should be able to...

My comment is a little more esoteric. I wonder about the efficacy of presenting users with as many as 10 dimensions. Research has found the most business users have trouble truly understanding information delivered to them by a cube that has more than 5-7 dimensions. Maybe it would make more...

Firstly, to answer your specific question it is POSSIBLE to write a Proc Ext using VB, HOWEVER, VB based Proc Exts are NOT supported by Crystal Decisions if you have a problem and I believe there are issues related to VB based Proc Exts NOT being thread-safe (I am not 100% sure about the last...

If the subreports are linked subreports then that may be the cause of the problem. My experience is that each sub reports added to a report has an exponentially negative impact on performance. 1 or 2 is OK but 7 can be a real killer especially if the subreports are reading from large data...

There is no licensing limitation on the number of simultaneous reports that the Job Server can process. CD recommends a maximum of 5 simultaneous reports per CPU for the job server. Other factors that impact this number is the type of reports you are running and the ability of the database...
