Integrating Crystal Reports with InterSystems Cache

[tobinnorth]

I am in the process of integrating Crystal reports with an application that uses InterSystems Cache. In Cache ObjectScript I am using the $ZF command to open a compiled report that was created in Crystal reports.

My issue: When I make the call to the compiled Crystal report executable on the server using the $ZF command the Crystal report window displays and I can run the report. When I make the call to the compiled Crystal report executable from a client workstation the Crystal report window displays on the server when I would like it to display on the client workstation.

I understand that the $ZF command is used to make windows command calls but it seems to only make these calls on the server how can on make the call from the client computer without having to install the cache utilities on the client side.

Thank you

Do you mind sharing the code sample on how to embed crystal report with in cache application. Did you put it in Csp page or Class?
Can you list the steps how you did that.
I am very much interested. Please let me know as i really appreciate it.
