Crystal Reports XI and LINUX Server

[techie2]

Hi,

I have reports written in Crystal Reports XI, pointing to Oracle 10G on LINUX box, with 10G Client and using a system DSN Name.

Report is working fine as it from Designer XI from Windows box pointing to 10G Oracle database on LINUX box using ODBC name.

Next step on this is to integrate this report with JSP code on Linux box. Our Java Developers are writing a sample JSP file which will sit on Linux box which also has Oracle.

How do I need to go forward with Linux box setup.

Do I need to create a DSN on Linux box??? Can I do it.
Where do I move my .rpt file so that JSP can call it.
Can I change the DSN Name / Connection dynamically instead of always having hardcoded.

Kinda stumped here....Help????

This should get you going, it's for CR10 but the concepts are the same. You should probably use JRC and JDBC (unless you are planning on using Enterprise XI on Linux).

Also some Java IDEs (like WebSphere AD, and BEA) have built in support for CR.
