    Best Printer Diver to Install for larger reports

    I use the Acrobat PDF printer for this purpose - you can define a custom page as large as you want.

    CE, Scheduled Instances, Parameters & The "Run Now" Button

    I just noticed that APOS offers a freeware add-on for CE 8.5/9/10 which will apparently add a Reschedule button to your InfoView - check it out here: http://www.apos.com/Freeware/

    New error since upgrading to BOXI Release 2...

    Bessebo - it is in the Advanced Rights page of the CMC, under the "Report" section (which isn't visible by default so you'll need to expand it).

    CE, Scheduled Instances, Parameters & The "Run Now" Button

    InfoView is not a 3rd party product, it is the end-user interface to Crystal Enterprise. It was called ePortfolio in CE 9 and is called InfoView in BO XI, not sure what name it goes by in CE 10 but it should be one of the two main links on your launchpad page. I believe as of CE 10...

    template update for reports with scheduled instances

    If I understand what you're asking, you just need to use File > Save As to save to Enterprise. This will allow you to overwrite the report on the Enterprise server. If all you've changed is layout then you won't need to reschedule the existing reports. However, you may need to re-enter the...

    Scheduling reports on Crystal Enterprise

    Success/failure notification was introduced in CE 10 so if you are running CE 9 this won't be available. If by 'checking manually' you mean you are currently checking each report history to see what failed, a faster way of doing this in CE 9 is to use the Instance Manager from the CE Launchpad...

    Email report with message

    Depending on the complexity of your output, you could try accomplishing this using Alerts. Create a alert in your report that will trigger every time the report runs (eg whenever a field that always appears in the report is not null). Set the text of the alert to a formula incorporating the...

    Exporting to CSV results in the page header appearing with every recor

    Have you tried the solution indicated in the Business Objects link you provided? Despite those comments in your link, the BO fix does work - or at least it did for me when I was running a CE 9 environment. You should at least give it a shot.

    Can we Delete output sub-folders under Filestore folder?

    This is not a good idea - if you delete files under the Filestore/Output folder, it will produce errors in Crystal Enterprise when users try to pull up historical instances of reports. The better way to do this is to delete instances via the Crystal Management Console - this will remove the...

    Report generates different data depending on computer

    You might want to make sure that what you think is the same database on both computers actually is the same database. For instance, if it's an ODBC connection you might have the same name but be pointing to different servers. Or if it's an Oracle database and was recently moved, you might be...

    Wildcard and % in formula

    If you Google "escape character" you'll get a more thorough explanation, but basically an escape character ensures that the following character is not interpreted, but just treated literally (eg "this is just a percent sign, not a wildcard").

    Wildcard and % in formula

    Have you tried using an escape character in your select statement? eg Not ({PM00200.PYMTRMID} like "*\%*")

    Formatting an address field

    I was going to suggest using the ProperCase function but it appears this was only added in CR 9. However, there is a UFL available to do the same thing in CR 4 and higher: http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/uflcaps.exe

    Is it possible to access and analyse the log files created by CE10?

    If you're referring to the IIS web server logs, they're located at c:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\W3SVC1 on your server. You can actually use Crystal Reports to report off of these files using the "MS IIS/Proxy Log Files" connection type. The IIS logs are not terribly useful, but you can obtain...

    Batch Processing

    You'll need to use a 3rd-party add-in that offers "Bursting" functionality in order to do this efficiently as there's no good way to do this with out-of-the-box Business Objects Enterprise. I'm familiar with APOS Bursting Manager as one option, but there are a number of 3rd party tools listed...

    Migrating objects

    By default the CMS name should be the same as the first server you installed it on; I've never had to specify an IP address with this setup. If you changed your CMS name and it's not finding it, try this...

    Migrating objects

    Try just using the CMS name - no need to enter the IP address. The documentation on the BO site for this tool should be of assistance here.

    Migrating objects

    Copying the Filestore directory won't do anything. What you need to use is the "Import Wizard" tool installed with BOE to migrate your objects from one CMS to the other. There should be some documentation on this tool on the BO site if you need it. You should delete the Filestore information on...

    BOEXI - Scheduling Reports

    crsdev - I'm sorry, but I'm not running Tomcat so I don't have the JSP files to look at. You may want to just take a look at your own files and do some experimenting to determine where the appropriate code is and where it should be commented out.

    Embedding the result in an email

    One way of doing this without any 3rd party tools is to take advantage of Alerts. Create a alert in your report that will trigger every time the report runs (eg whenever a field that always appears in the report is not null). Set the text of the alert to the output you require (in your example...
