Report Storage in Busined Objects XI
- Thread starter Smithsc
- Start date
I assume this is Crystal Enterprise. What version?
Go into the Admin launchpad and select "Query Builder". This will give you an idea of what properties are available although it is not a very good interface to do analysis of your reports. Better to go on the Business Objects web site and download the help file for the SDK which has some diagrams on how Crystal Enterprise is structured.
Crystal has lots of libraries that can be used in a programming language such as ASP, CSP, VBA, etc.. to do more robust analysis of the meta data stored on each report and report instance.
There is 3rd party software from APOS, rpt_inspector and others to report off the meta data structure.
