Actually that is one of the hats I wear. Fortunately I am a Crystal developer as well as the CE/BOE Administrator. The problem I have is that many of these Crystal developers are not that savvy. The hardcore users we have are great and don't need me to hold their hand and most of them are in IT...
Synapse,
Thanks for your feedback. I should have been more concise in my question. I am not so worried about the updates once the software is on the users PC's because as you noted BOs uses the automatic notification.
We are going to be migrating to the new XI environment soon. We have about...
I was wondering if anyone out there has used SMS to deploy Crystal Reports or any of the BusinessObjects Enterprise applications to their users.
We are implementing BOE XI and I was looking to deploy the Crystal Reports XI software, the Enterprise Publishing Wizard and SAP Integration Kit to...
Simon,
Can you give me a little more info on the Excel output you are bringing to your users via the viewer? This is where I am having issues. The reports they are generating are around 60+MB in size and it seems that the viewer will not open the file. It asks if they want to view or save, in...
TurkBear,
I thought of that, but your right I would have users all over me for that one. After the last post I did a little experiment. I scheduled one of the problem reports to the standard Crystal Report format and was able to open it fine in the viewer [COLOR=red](1611 pages!!!!)[/color red]...
Turkbear,
Thanks for responding so quickly. You are correct, the users are using the "view latest instance" option to open the report. Generally they are then asked if they want to view the report, which then launches the Excel application, or if they want to save it to a local or network disk...
Hello all,
Here is the issue. I am running CE10 on two clustered (full-install) Windows 2000 servers. The users view their report via the CE portfolio and authenticate via Windows AD.
We have some reports that are self-scheduled to the Excel format (not the data only version) by the users. The...
Hello everyone,
We are using Crystal v10 and we have an issue with a numeric field with a precision of 31. When I pulll this field into a report with Crystal it displays in scientific notation rather than a standard number. Is there a way to bypass the scientific notation formatting?
Thanks...
Turkbear,
Thanks for the feedback. I should of elaborated more on what I am trying to accomplish. I am looking at the "Send To E-mail" function within the InfoView itself (the hyperlink placeholder option) to send a report object to another user. I wanted the users to be able to email a URL...
Hi All. I am setting up BOE XI and am trying to enable the ability to attach a report/object URL to an email so the recipient can view the object. I know where to set the value (Objects->Object Settings...) but I do not know what the correct syntax is. I was able to do it in version 10 but...
Hello everyone. A CE10 Pro (running on W2K servers) question. I need to customize one of CE's placeholders that are used in defining a filename. When defining a specified filename for reports you are scheduling to a DESTINATION, you can use Crystal's predefined placeholders in the filename...
Hello everyone. I have a question regarding modifying the placeholders - specifically the format of the %SI_STARTTIME% placeholder. I am running CE10 and am going to be FTPing a report to a user who needs the filename is a very specific format:
filename-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-00.ext (where the "-00"...
Have you checked to see if there is a carriage return or line feed at teh end of the zip-code entry? I have found that this is generally what the character is.

mdwyer,
Not being a coder, what would I have to wrap your code with in order to have it execute to even the HTML output? I would love to be able to get this information out of the system (we are using CE10 on a W2K server environment and IIS 5). This whole issue is coming about because we are...
Hello all,
I am not sure if there is an easy answer to this. I am trying to design a report which would allow me to hierarchically display users within a defined CE User Group. We are running CE10 on a cluster of W2K Servers and are using Oracle9i as out CMS database.
What I would like to do...
Hi, Did you check to see if you have any pop-up blockers installed on your PC? Even if you don't think one is active, check any type of anti-spam, adware blocking, spyware blocking etc, software you have installed on your PC. Chances are the CE server is not being allowed to install the ActiveX...
Hello all,
I know this is a longshot, and I have already run a series of queries against the audit tables provided in CE v10, but does anyone know how one can write a report that will list out the database tables used within a report? I have used the export function which provides report...
Rob,
The password was one of the first things I looked at. We don't use special characters in it so the potential that they were not being recognized was eliminated. The latest common10win_en fix eliminated the error for all of our reports except one which I provided to BO to investigate.
Here...
Dan,
Sorry about that. She is using IE 6, there are no Google-bars or any other enhancements to her browser that I was able to see. I went through all of the options under IE 6 and found nothing.
I looked for any Yahoo based stuff as well and there was nothing. The only thing she had installed...
