    Crystal and BO 6.5.

    Crystal wasn't integrated with BO until XI, so your out of luck there. As satinsilhouette stated, use of universes with crystal in XI is limited and not really a good choice for a data source. It doesn't give you the benefit of abstraction because all the universe info is saved with report.

    Double DB Logon for CR in BOE

    Nope. Both the report and LOV are from the same schema in Oracle. I don't think I've ever seen multiple data sources in the CMC, but in this case, there is only one place to put the UID/PWD and I've done that.

    Double DB Logon for CR in BOE

    Using: BOEXIr2 SP1 CRXIr2 Win2003 SP1 I'm running a CR report in BOE, using a dynamic parameter against a table from the same connection that the report uses. Using the CMC under the reports Process\Database settings, I've entered the password for the connection and selected 'Use same database...

    Any suggestions for component distribution (BOE11), in a cluster?

    Your rpt files will eventually be processed by the Page/Cache & RAS servers, so it makes sense to put them on the same server for best performance. It makes no sense to put them on the web server, because they aren't being processed there.

    CR Server XI - RAS

    RAS is a seperate SDK than the CE/BOE SDK. It can be used for managed reports (CE/BOE) or unmanged reports (file system). If you want to run managed reports, you will need to use the CE/BOE SDK to get a EnterpriseSession object. This also means security/authentication is involved. The CE/BOE...

    BOE XI R2- AD vs LDAP?

    It will only log them automatically if they are using the .NET version of Infoview. The Java version is incapable. We use the Java Infoview, because of PM, and I setup an ASP script in IIS that creates the LogonToken and redirects to the Java InfoView. I believe there might be an issue with...

    BOE SDK Error Codes

    Just in case anyone was wondering, this is what I found... CeErrorFramework http://www.techsupport.businessobjects.com/infocenter/Dev/devlib/XI/EN/en/BOE_SDK/boesdk_com_doc/doc/boesdk_com_doc/CrystalEnterpriseFrameworkLibrary90.html#1361401 CeErrorInfoStore...

    Saving RAS report as instance in BOE

    Using the RAS SDK in BOE XIr2, I would like to push data to a report and then save it as an instance in BOE to be viewed later in Infoview. So far I've tried the ReportClientDocument.SaveAs method but it doesn't seem to work. Does nayone have any ideas?

    BOE SDK Error Codes

    Does anyone know where to find a list of the BOE SDK error codes? RAS SDK? I'm unable to find them in boesdk_net_doc.chm.

    Running report w/ web service data in BOEXI

    I've got a CRXI report with a web service (XML) as a data source. I'm able to get data in the designer, but when I publish to BOEXIr2, I get the following after 15-30 seconds: Error in File report name: Failed to retrieve data from the database. The web service allows anonymous access and I...

    Requirements for Crystal Reports Server AD Administration Account

    You'll only need enough rights for authentication of other users. This may sound simplistic, but I believe most users in AD have this right by default.

    Inventory Report from Enterprise XI (Rel. 2)

    The only method I'm aware of is the BOE SDK (.NET or Java). More specifically, you would need to use the CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc component as it will give you more detail info than CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Desktop.Report will. There are also some BOE server...

    Dynamically change field object length

    I believe that will be my course of action (overlap fields). Thanks synapsevampire for all your help.

    Dynamically change field object length

    Sorry if I wasn't clear. The length would refer to Width in the Size & Position of an object. I thought the 'Can Grow' would work horizontally, but I understand now that it is only vertical. I hope that creating multiple objects at different widths isn't the only solution, but I will take what...

    Dynamically change field object length

    Crystal allows for the conditional changing of the X coordinate of a field object. However, it does not allow the same for Y position, Height & Width. Does anyone know of a workaround to change the length of a field object? 'Can Grow' is an option, but I'm not sure you can control how far it grows.

    How do you make a report look like TVGuide?

    As you've noted, allowing for the time periods to be dynamic, based on the parms, shouldn't be difficult. What is vexing me is dynamically changing the program (field object) length based on duration. My goal is to allow the text (program name) to span through the time period. I could turn...

    How do you make a report look like TVGuide?

    You're right. Data: Time (6 hours at 0:15 increments) Duration (0:15 to 3:00) Network (all) Program Name Parms: StartDate StartTime The layout is in the first post. The report will cover a six hour span with the user selecting when the span begins. The trick I was thinking was to create...

    How do you make a report look like TVGuide?

    Yea, that was what I was thinking, too. Unfortunately, with 10+ time periods (half hour), that 'trick' becomes unworkable.

    How do you make a report look like TVGuide?

    Awesome! Thanks synapsevampire. Now if CR would give us an "x-2" adjustment for height & width like they do for x position, this report would be in the can.

    How do you make a report look like TVGuide?

    Thanks! Silly me, I just assumed you couldn't summarize on a string field. There is still an issue with data that goes beyond the break (hour). In the example above, for ABC, Program2 extends from 9:00 thru 10:00. In the cross-tab, Program2 will show up twice, once for each hour. I've tried...
