Crystal Analysis 9 integration with Crystal Reports 9

[jamc]

Has anyone setup Crystal Analysis 9 to be be integrated with Crystal Reports 9? Can you provide help on how to do it?
Thank You.

From looking at Crystal Reports 9, there are elements of Crystal Analysis already embedded within it. If you create an OLAP Grid you can then select "Analyze" (I think it is) from the right-click menu, that brings up what looks like the same worksheet from Crystal Analysis

Is this what you're wanting to do or is it something else?

One of the features in Crystal Analysis 9 was the integration with Crystal Reports 9 to pass parameters between the two applications, and navigate from a detail report to an analytic report. I believe it goes beyond using Crystal Analysis as an OLAP data source for Crystal Reports.

It's possible to launch Crystal Analysis 9 applications from Crystal Reports and vice versa using URLs containing parameters, if that's what you need.

To launch a Crystal Report from Crystal Analysis, create an URL action on the data source - you can pass parameters etc to set up the report in the URL.

To launch a Crystal Analysis 9 application from a Crystal Report you can simply do the same with hyperlinks in the report. Again, parameters in the URL can be used to initialize the application with relevant context.
