Report Distribution Expert... scr8_distr_expert.exe

Hello,
We are currently running Crystal Report version 8.5 (Developer Edition) and are in need of the report distribution expert (scr8_distr_expert.exe). I cannot locate this file for download. Does anyone know where / how I can download this file?
To answer the inevitable questions...
- Yes, I have tried the current report viewer. The current version of the Crystal Report Viewer supports version 9.0 and higher.
- No, I cannot purchase or upgrade to a newer version of Crystal Reports (budgetary restraints due to current economic climate)
- No, I do not have a budget to purchase a third-party software application
- Yes, a FREEWARE or OPENSOURCE third-party application would be acceptable
Thanks!

The distribution expert for CR 8.5 is here:

Necesito el Report Distribution Expert para Cristal Reports 9 Gracias!!!

Compas tengo el Cristal Reports 9 y necesito el Report Distribution Expert , No se si ya existe?
Muchas gracias!!

An alternative to Ido's idea is to create your own application using the one of the available SDks in CR 9;
Report Application Server (RDC)
Print Engine APIs
CR for .NET
Java
Note that the Print Engine APIs were retired in version 10 or CR, and the RDC was retired in version 11.5 of Crystal Reports.

Org Unit as Distribution Point for Document Distribution

Hello Experts,
I would like to maintain a distribution point for the document distribution. Therefore i still have maintained the distribution point (it is an org unit) in the available communication types (INT, RML,..) in SPRO...->Document Distribution->Define Communication Type.
But now every time when a distribution package will be started for distribution I get an error message: "Function <senden> not possible". The package should be send via distribution type INT to the distribution point.
Perhaps the communication type INT is not maintained for the org unit yet?Where can i do this?
Regards,
Christian

Hi Christian
The distribution point under Type of distribution point and Distribution point is used under the following conditions:
1. If distribution is initiated manually and the Distribution immediately indicator was set without entering an explicit distribution point.
2. If distribution is initiated manually and the
Distribution immediately indicator was not set.
3. If distribution is initiated by an event.
If the "Send to distribution point" indicator is set and no distribution point is entered explicitly, the current user becomes the distribution point if distribution is initiated manually. If distribution is initiated by an event, the user that triggered the event becomes the distribution point.
Follow this Procedure.Also Check all the setting in Define Distributio Types for Distribution type INT
where you mention distribution Point details.You will have to explore alittle bit.

Configure ePortfolio for Crystal Reports 9 Report Application Server for Users to Run Reports

Post Author: lacc
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Sorry for this basic question but Crystal 9 is no longer supported and I am having trouble finding any documentation about how to configure ePortfolio let alone obtain any help from Crystal support.
I have a set of .RPT files and would like the simplest and quickest method of distribution to the users with as little coding and fuss as possible.
We have the ePortfolio page up and running but the users can only view the reports from ePortfolio. They also need to be able to run (refresh) the reports and enter the parameters which have already been built into the .RPT file. Providing access to the deactivated Schedule and History links would also be useful though not a priority unlike access to refresh and enter parameters.
I usually create reports to run from within an application which I can handover to the application developer so working out how to distribute via this method is pretty new to me.
I've also had a quick look at the Crystal Reports Viewer XI which appears to be backward compatible for Crystal 9 reports however this also appears to only allow users to view, not generate, reports.
Any recommendations? Or could you point me in the direction of some documentation that might assist?

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I think I've worked out that we are actually using ePortfolio Lite. Would anyone be able to confirm if there are any configuration options for ePortfolio Lite? I think we only have the Crystal Reports 9 Advanced version, not Crystal Reports 9 Enterprise. Would this mean that we therefore only have ePortfolio Lite not ePortfolio?

I am looking for Crystal reports arleady designed.

I am looking for Crystal reports already designed. Does anyone know where I could fine them?

Navin,
Thanks for the reply, I have another question you might be able to answer.
I have a picture field (blob field) on the same line as our Product ID field (regular data field) and i want the report to show the picture that goes with that Product ID. 50% of our products dont have pictures, so when I print the report, it currently prints large empty spaces for the Products that dont have pictures and makes the report quite long and unattractive.
I have tried to supress the field and also put the field in its own section and use a formula for supressing if the data is blank, but I get the error message that says "Can not use a BLOB field in a formula".
I need to find a way around this. Can you, or any of your experts help?
I could send you the report with some data in it if that would help.
Thanks again!
JM

Distribution expert??

CA Forum: Exporting
We had Crystal Report Pro 7, and with the version 7 we weu2019re able to use distribution expert to send a report to a user as an app. Ex: a month end report with CR 7 was sent to users, and every month they run this report and get the data update automatically. We now upgrade to CR XI and the distribution expert is not there anymore. How can I distribute a new month end report so the user can run this every month and have the latest data???
Do I have to go back to CR 7???
Thanks

SAP Integration Kit for Crystal Reports

Hello,
I read Ingo Hilgefort's blog on BusinessObjects and SAP Part 2.
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
Does the current trial version of crystal reports available from businessobjects.com have this integration kit embedded in it?
If not, where can i find it?
Regards,
Suraj

hi shenoy,
SAP Integration Kit
The SAP integration kit includes drivers to allow connectivity to both R3 and Business Warehouse (BW). In addition, it includes a BW toolbar for Crystal Reports, a specific version of InfoView with Role-based links, sample iViews for Enterprise Portal, and an SDK in Java, COM, or .NET.
Reporting off R3 Data
The kit includes two drivers to allow Crystal Reports to connect to the ABAP data dictionary via a remote function call or RFC.
The Open SQL driver allows the user to connect to SAP R3, displaying the field and the short text description of the tables and fields. The developer can then join the tables accordingly, using the database expert, and then select the relevant fields from which to report. This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.

This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.
Note
In Crystal Reports, you cannot check the SQL generated using the Show SQL Query option from the Database menu. You can check what Open SQL was generated by using SAP transactions.
The InfoSet driver allows the user to connect to an existing InfoSet, as defined by SAP transaction SQ02. Alternatively, you can use an existing ABAP query, as defined by SAP transaction SQ01. The benefit of this driver is that the user does not need to know where the data is stored or how to join the tables. Another advantage is that any prompts defined in the InfoSet become parameters in Crystal Reports.
Note
To test the InfoSet query, run the InfoSet using your SAP GUI and ensure that it is pulling the required data first before testing it in Crystal Reports.
Reporting off BW Data
When reporting off of BW data, the Business Objects' Integration Kit consists of three drivers that are used to pull data.
The BW Query driver enables the user to connect to a BW query. To enable selection of a query with this driver, Crystal Reports has its own toolbar, as shown in Figure 15.3, and the user needs to select the New Report icon from this toolbar. The user then selects the required BW query, and thus displays a listing of fields available in the query. The user can then create the report using any of those fields. Variables defined in the query automatically become Crystal Reports parameters. After the user has finished building the report, the user saves the report using the BW toolbar. This saves the report to BW, and if the user selects the option to do so, automatically publishes the report to Enterprise.
Figure 15.3. Crystal Reports after the SAP integration kit is loaded. Note the SAP menu and BW toolbar.
[View full size image]
Two new drivers have been added to the XI R2 version of the SAP Integration Kit.
The MDX query driver supports using Crystal Reports to report off either a SAP BW query or a BW Cube.
Furthermore, it adds additional functionality by providing support for
A structure in both the row and column of the BW query
Hierarchy node and hierarchy node variables
Free characteristics in a BW query
The Operational Data Store or ODS driver exposes the ODS tables, so that they look much like the tables of any relational database. However, because of the structure of the objects, it considers them to be like a database stored procedure.
Connecting to the ODS objects is not performed with the SAP toolbar described here, but rather by selecting the driver from the Data Explorer as shown in Chapter 1, "Creating and Designing Basic Reports." After the user has finished building the report, the report can be saved back to BW and published to Business Objects Enterprise by selecting the Automatically Publish to Enterprise check box, as shown in Figure 15.4.
Figure 15.4. The additional options after saving a Crystal Report to SAP BW.
Note
This publishing method requires some setup. Please refer to the Installation documentation for further details.
Note
Both the ODS and MDX drivers require SAP transports to be loaded on the SAP BW system. Please refer to the Installation CD in the Transports folder for further details.
Using OLAP or Web Intelligence to Report off BW Data
Included in the SAP Integration Kit are specific drivers to allow OLAP Intelligence and Web Intelligence to report off of SAP BW.
To connect to a BW cube or query using OLAP Intelligence, open the connection browser and select Add. Select SAP Business Information Warehouse and then proceed to fill in the relevant data, as shown in Figure 15.5.
Figure 15.5. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from OLAP Intelligence.
[View full size image]
After you are connected, select the query or cube and process to build the report, as described in Chapter 19, "Creating OLAP Intelligence Reports."
Web Intelligence is new to XI R2 and requires that a universe be built on a BW Cube or Query. However, to aid in this process, Designer builds the universe for you. To do this, select SAP from the list of connects and fill out the required information, as displayed in Figure 15.6.
Figure 15.6. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from Web Intelligence.
[View full size image]
Finish the remainder of the wizard and when you click OK, Designer generates the Universe for you. It may be necessary to move some of the objects around to suit your needs, but when you are finished, export to Business Objects Enterprise.
Note
Only the BW query driver does not require the query be released for external access. The Web Intelligence, OLAP Intelligence, and MDX drivers require the user to release the BW query. To release a query, select the query properties in the BW Query Designer and select the Extended Tab and then check Allow External Access to This Query.
Viewing the Reports
Your SAP reports can be viewed either via the SAP integration kit's InfoView or via SAP Enterprise Portal 6. The integration kit provides a number of sample iViews that can be imported by a portal administrator. These include
Folder iView The folders a user has access to are displayed, and from here a user can run her reports.
Alert iView Shows all the alerts that have been triggered by Crystal Reports. The user can then click on the report to view the report. The creation of alerts is defined in Chapter 11, "Using Record Selections and Alerts for Interactive Reporting."
Thumbnail iView This iView displays the Crystal Report as a thumbnail of the report. The user can then click on the thumbnail to run the report.
Note
These are sample iViews. The organization can create its own iViews via the provided SDK.
BusinessObjects InfoView for SAP is a unique version of InfoView designed for integration with SAP BW systems. This integration includes features such as the ability to log on to InfoView using your SAP username and password. Related to authentication is the ability to access your roles and the Crystal Reports saved to these roles. The roles are defined in Enterprise as folders. The user can also schedule reports in the different languages loaded into SAP BW. This creates an instance for each language.

LOV issue for Crystal Report 4.0 ( Enterprise ) using the BICS connection

Hi Expert,
I am working for one our client which is using Crystal Report Enterprise 4.0 SP 2 i am facing the following problem with the LOV .
- I have created the crystal report on top of BEx query using the OLAP connection in CMC .
I have the variable at BEx query level which have list of value around 100 K and user want to search through that LOV in order to make his selection but as soon as i include that variable in my Query and run my CR my report crashes and i cannot run the report .
I gave the user the option of manual input of value to that variable it does not work as it uses the BICS connection and i read somewhere we cannot use the manual input in case of BICS connection for crystal report you have to select the value from the LOV .
My Question is is there any workaround if we can restrict our LOV to some extent and let the user to select and search from that any setting if we have at query designer level to restrict the LOV to burst in the report .
Any input will be appreciated .
Thanks,
Vibhav

Using new Distribution Channel for dealers.

Hi experts
Currently Domestic sales is operating only on one channel DD.
Proposal is to set DR channels for all Dealers sales and DD will be used only for Retail Sales .
DR Channel was previously configured but we were only using DD channel for both retailors & dealers sales.. all configuration is already done like sales area setup and pricing etc. for DR channel
so i would like to what are the pros and cons for using two Distribution channel and maintainence we require.
thank you

You need to extend all customers and materials for new distribution channel.
You also neeed to maintain prices for DD and DR channels separately.
ITs advantage is this that your reporting will be separately executed. You can check how much sales you have done in retail and how much you have done in Whole sale.
I dont know what kind of business your company is running. I suggest you to make a provision for 3rd distribution channel which is DC. B2B sales. corporate sales. May after some months or years your company feel need of it.
For extending customers and materials 2 uploads will do this. Ask you ABAPER to create uploads.
There must be separate distribution channels for corporate, retail, wholesale and Expots if your company is dealing with exports sale.
Hope its clear to you now

Expert for hire needed

I am in charge of rapidly building a large database-driven website using Dreamweaver/PHP/MySQL. I am familiar with data-driven sites for many years with GoLive. Now I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 and am getting a pretty good handle on it. But I am having many problems and running into many walls.
The new site I'm building must go live on July 1, but because of my problems with Dreamweaver, I am now behind schedule and am in desperate need of an expert I can turn to.
I am looking for an expert for hire to help me troubleshoot what I am doing wrong. It would also be great if this person could take care of some of the more advanced coding for me, and be available on an ongoing basis after the site is launched as we add new features and make improvements in the future.
Please, please, I hope there is someone out there. It would be best if that person lived in Seattle so we could meet face to face sometimes.
Not sure if I'm supposed to put an email address here or not. [Email removed to prevent scraping by spambots]
