Reports for Users

[MrArmstrong]

I have just started using The Enterprise Edition, where can I found out how to setup reports for the users to see.

For what product?

The first thing you should post is your software and it's version and edition.

To save reports to Crystal Enterprise (guessing that's what you're trying to ask) from Crystal Reports you have several options.

I'll address two of them here.

From within Crystal, select File->Save As and select the enterprise icon in the lower left hand corner.

or

Use the Crystal Management Console in the WEB interface.

The latter you'll need to use anyway to set the database properties for the reports, so familiuarize yourself with it.

The advantage to saving from within Crystal Reports itself is that you can overwrite existing reports and preserve scheduling and other settings.

Hope this gets you going in the right direction.

If not, please post more than one sentence, and include technical information as well as what you have tried thus far.

Also understand that Enterprise is s seperate product from Crystal Reports, and installing Crystal Reports does NOT install Crystal Enterprise.

btw, Crystal Enterprise is currently marketed as either Business Objects Enterprise, or Crystal Reports Server.

I do apologize it is Crystal Reports Server, I am reading a book "Crystal Reports for Dummies" (Me Right Now). It was telling me how to go to the Crystal Management Console but I can't get this window to open.
I did the steps you told me and it was successful. The file saved in the Crystal Enterprise Folder. Now I am wanting to see the server side to see if I can see and control the file.

Please, relax and answer the questions posed.

You need to respond to:

"The first thing you should post is your software and it's version and edition."

Take the time to explain your environment PRIOR to requirements in every new thread, it affects our response.

Try this address:

http://yourservername/businessobjects/enterprise115/WebTools/adminlaunch/default.aspx

Replacing yourservername with your server name.

That should get you to a basic starting point for CRS, which has the CMC and the InfoView applications.

Thank you that was helpful.

Soory for the delay on the response, I found a tutorial in the Crystal Reports Complete Reference. It seems to be guiding me through this step a little. It's also teaching me all the acronyms (CMS,CRS).
Thanks for your help!!

Is there another way that my users can view Crystal Reports created until I get this Server setup.
