CE10 - Problems with URLs

[gav12345]

Hello,

I'm trying to call a report in CE10 using a URL string and am having a few problems with the promptex command. When I call the report without trying to pass parameters, I'm prompted for the parameter and the report then runs fine and brings back all relevant data, i.e.:

[URL unfurl="true"]http://0007322/crystal/enterprise10/admin/en/viewrpt.cwr?id=648&apsuser=BBloggs&apspassword=BBloggs&apsauthtype=secEnterprise[/URL]

However, as soon as I add the promptex command, the correct report is returned, but no data appears. i.e.:

[URL unfurl="true"]http://0007322/crystal/enterprise10/admin/en/viewrpt.cwr?id=648&apsuser=BBloggs&apspassword=BBloggs&apsauthtype=secEnterprise&promptex-Media%20Volume%20Name="Archive001"[/URL]

I've tried various things including adding & removing quotation marks and changing the order of the URL string parameters, but to no avail...

Any suggestions? Cheers.

Gavin

Hi,
There can be a problem if installed on the same machine, but we have been told that any version ( at least any since 8.5) of CR designed reports can be published to the CE10 CMS and will work.


There are reasons to upgrade to V10 of CR, but, given the existing base of Reports designed in 8.5, BO would never be able to sell an Upgrade of CE to those clients if they had to reopen all of their existing reports with CR10 and republish/resave before they could be used..
In our case it would mean revising > 1500 reports, and we are not a large user.

Hi,
From the CE10 Docs..

Note: Crystal Enterprise supports reports created in versions 6 through 10 of Crystal Reports. Once published to Crystal Enterprise, reports are saved, processed, and displayed in version 10 format.



Hope it clears things up..
