I have a Remedy report that runs on Crystal Reports 9 on my local PC with an AR System ODBC entry. I don't know how to get the Remedy ODBC entry on the Crystal Enterprise server without installing the Remedy client on the server. We can't install any client like Remedy onto a server that will write to the C drive. Is there a way to get the Remedy ODBC installed without installing the Remedy (7) client?
 
This is probably not the answer that you are looking for...

If you are unable to deploy the AR System ODBC config on your CE-9 server(s), you would have to write your reports DIRECTLY against the underlying Remedy DB (eg. Oracle, MS-SQL, etc) using native DB connection, and by-passing the Remedy ODBC layer..

You lose the Remedy data-access controls by doing this.
