crystal reports and enterprise

[vihrao]

I know crystal reports generates reports only on Windows Box. But I need support for Solaris, Linux, AIX. I believe Crystal Enterprise will do this. Does this mean that to generate report on Solaris, Linux, AIX, I just use Crystal Enterprise or I need both Crystal reports and Crystal Enterprise. How do these components work together

Install CE on your unix box (CR is not needed) Install CR on a windows workstation for report design.

Thanks for the tip

How does the Crystal Report design on windows box communicate with CE on UNIX box. Should I write some code to do that or does it do using web services? Can you give me some details about that?

CR will communicate with CE using the workstation database drivers, just as it does your database server.
