You can apply security to the repository at two levels. They can be set at folder level (i.e. The Business View folder, downwards) or on specific items within.
The groups/names available are inherited from the CE security setup.
The new features mention by rhinok are all in there! The Business view area mentioned is in the form of a Meta Data Layer. This firstly allows you to create Dyanamic Datasources so you can switch datasources as simply as changing a parameter in the report. Very simple! Unfortunately they fell...
We got given a 30 day trial version from our account manager for CE10, CR10 and Analysis 10. They were keen for us to commit to more licences, etc prior to releasing the software to us. All to do with the change over to BO I think.
The software has now been released and being shipped to...
I have a copy of it. That and CR10.
We managed to get a pre release to try and resolve an issue regarding the switching of datasources and then scheduling the reports.
First impressions are its a very good product. They have introduced a meta data layer to simplify/restrict report writing. You...
Managed to get this working in the end. Another one of Crystal Missing lines in the SDK.
You need to use the oTable.Clone(True) call to copy the table correctly....
You learn something new everyday!
I don't think that is possible without the RAS component installed.
If you have this you can attept to use it, but found it failed more times than it worked, even though the settings passed were correct.
There is a huge difference in the products.
CE 9 is a 'distribution' package for Crystal Reports. It gives you the means to manage reports, security, etc.
I am having difficulty getting this method to work.
According to the RAS SDK Help file you simply set the Connection Attributes and then call
Sub SetTableLocation(
SubreportName As String,
CurTable As Table,
NewTable As Table)
This does actually change a thing. Does anyone know...
The physical printer may be the same, but different profiles have different setups for each printer.
I am assuming your printer is networked here. Things like paper types, page sizes, etc. Just standard properties in your printer for each profile.
Not sure exactly which account the printing...
The viewer shouldn't cause this problem. The main reason for loss of format is the printer configuration is different to the configuration on the machine where the report was created.
You are right in your thinking that the DHTML viewer is the default.
I have recently been doing some development in ASP to change the datasource of reports in ce8.5 using the RAS. We are using trusted connections going through to SQL Server 2000.
I am now trying to schedule these reports but constantly get the following error:
Information is needed before this...
Managed to get this sorted out.
Need to call ModifyTableConnectionInfo and SetTableLocation methods on each table.
Doing this can save over the existing report and display it to the user.
Also incorporates the dynamic picklist. Was a pain to get it working, but sorted now.
There is also a configuration change to make on the Crystal Web Server.
You need to stop it. Display the properties.
On the configuration tab, ensure the Challenge and Response flag is checked.
Also with IIS, make sure on NT Authentication is set. Not other security flags should be checked...
Have sused it out.
Have got the RAS for CE8.5. You can expose the report and create an instance of the report and display it. Does the job.
Not exactly dynamic as such, but works. Now onto the dynamic picklists. Hopefully got this one in the bag.
Thanks for the help.
I can do it in CR no problems. Just have an issue 'saving' the report in CE.
I have managed to expose all the properties I need to including the Tables, but once you change the DataSource and Database names, I schedule the report to generate an instance. It's at this point it fails.
It is...
