Hello Everyone,

We are preparing to upgrade to Business Object XI and are in "clean-up" mode. I am needing to produce a Crystal Report that lists all reports that are published and what folder they are under. The closest thing I have found to getting the results I want is the use of the Query Builder.
I can type in SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.Report') and it will give me details of each report, BUT it lists on the parent folder ID, not the name. I have not been able to find a link to any other table where the folder NAME appears. Can anyone offer any assistance? Thanks so much!

This will list each Folder ( and indicate its parent, if any) and then list each report in that folder..

Here is a sample of the output from our development system:
Code: 
[COLOR=blue]
Folder: ABB Staff Reports Within Folder FinDev
[/color][COLOR=green] 
Detail by Core Activity 
Error Summary by Office 
Management Activity to Office

Salary v Non-Salary Expended vs Planned

Wow - what do I do with the code that you provided me? Do I save that as a file somewhere? I don't know what to do with it. Thank you so much.

Hi
OH, sorry..

Create it as an .asp page ( I call mine show_reports.asp - clever eh!)..( be sure to modify it to use your CE info, like the APS/CMS)

Place it in some virtual directory on your CE server's web site..

then

should do it..

OK, I copied this file and put it in \\Program Files\Crystal Decisions\Enterprise 10\Web Content\Enterprise10\ePortfolio\en\show_reports.asp

Doesn't that mean that I should be able to access it via a URL like
Can anyone think of a reason why I get "Page Cannot Be Displayed"?

Just to make sure that I have the CMS name set correctly. When I launch the CMC and look under "Servers", I have input the value that appears under MACHINE NAME. Is that correct? Or should it be machine name.cms?

Hi,
Depends,
What shows as System when you launch the CMC?

That is the CMS identification to use..

When I launch the CMC, system is the fully qualified domain name of the server. I had just the server name. I will change it and try again.
