How to deploy rpt chnges to end users using Windows Installer?

We are in ISV and we develop an integrated suite of business management applications.  We use Crystal Reports extensively in these applications.  We currently deploy 717 rpt files with our suite.
Because rpt files are not versioned, we are having problems deploying rpt changes to our end users using Windows Installer.  Windows Installer assumes that non-versioned files contain user data, so if the file exists on the users system, the file is never over written, even if the file included in the MSI is newer than the file on the users system.
Is it possible to version .rpt files?  How do you recommend deploying these files so that if we change a few of then, we will be able to deploy the changes to our end users.
Thanks,
Todd

Hi, Todd;
There is a Revision Number property in a report that is updated when any changes are made. You can access this via the File | Properties screen, but I am not sure if you can use it in an installer.

Jonathan

  • How to deploy connection (Mac OS X Yosemite to Windows RDS) through the RD Gateway with Two Factor authentication (Safenet OTP) on Session host?

    Good day!
    Could you please help me? How to deploy connection (Mac OS X Yosemite to Windows RDS) through the RD Gateway with Two Factor authentication on Session host? How to open an authentication dialog that is the same as in Windows when logging on to network resources
    in Windows (Windows Security)?
    Our test environment: We have one RDS 2012 R2 server (all roles in one) and one session host in collection. On the session host installed Safenet Network Logon and it under GPO which disable all authentication, only OTP.

    Hi Sir,
    It seems that you are going to integrate 3rd party product into AD for authentication .
    I would suggest you to contact the vendor of Safenet for this deployment  scenario  :

    How to check ink levels of a 4620 using windows 8.1

    Hi krmoss,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I see that you would like to learn how to check the ink levels on your Officejet 4620 printer.  
    The steps on how to check the estimated ink levels can be found in your User Guide on page 74 in the section titled “To check the estimated ink levels from the printer control panel”.   If you have installed the full feature software and driver for your printer onto your computer you can open up the HP Solution Center and check the from there as well.

  • My mac book air can't start installation, because i use windows installation in DOS to make partion, now no mac os on it. How to get back the mac os? i have a window based iso image from a friend, because in my country there is no Apple service.

    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

  • How do you increase font size in Bridge using windows 7 and a 4k monitor?  It appears as though this issue has come up previously but there is no answer.

    How do you increase font size in Bridge using windows 7 and a 4k monitor?  It appears as though this issue has come up previously but there is no answer.

    Unfortunately this will require some new programming by Adobe and there's no way to know when that will happen. In the meantime, the only option I think you have available to you is to change your resolution so that your monitor is using fewer pixels per inch.
    Kinda blows the whole value of the newer monitor but I suppose you can switch back and forth from low res when you are working in Bridge to high res when you are working in PS.
    Sorry, but for the time being, that's about it.
    Best,

  • How do enter the adobe pdf end user liscense agreement?

    i do not know how to look for the adobe pdf end user liscense agreement?
    help?

    Depending on which Adobe application you are using, the EUA will vary somewhat
    and there are several applications that handle PDF products, Adobe Reader is one.
    You could check into the results linked here that show several end-user-agreements
    with Adobe over a few product lines; to see what may apply to whatever you're using.
    •Adobe pdf end user agreement -- google results link:
    https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=Adobe+pdf+end+user+license+agreement
    In the open application, near where the name of the product appears, you should be
    able to check into such places as "about Adobe..." when you click on the Name.
    Since I only have Adobe Reader, not any of their retail application programs, what
    little that tells me may not be anywhere near enough to answer your open question.
    In Adobe Reader, if it were not to work on initial installation, I'd likely have to open the
    application from its location in the Applications folder (in Adobe reader folder) and then
    agree to the terms of the EUA in a small window that would appear at that point... and
    after that any use of the Reader should simply be almost automatic if another application
    sends a PFD request for the Reader to run and let me read content. Mine is set to not
    do anything automatically, for security purposes, though. Hope the search links help.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • When creating a fillable form fields from an existing pdf file, how do you set or allow end user to set the font size in the fields?

    I successfully created a form filled pdf using an existing pdf document.  However, the font size is too large to allow end user to type in information in the form box.  Is there a way to 1)globally set all  of the form fields when generated to a much smaller font size &/or 2) allow end user to change the font size if needed to put all information in one box without font being so large?

    Hi DenisonDoc,
    There is no option right now to set properties globally primarily for Text fields. You may make sure fields doesn't contain anything.
    Select all the text filed from the form and right click any of the selected field make sure all of them are selected choose properties --> Appearance there you can choose Font Size and Font type.
    - End users cant change size and type of font. It is up to designer.

  • How best to transform a SAP end user to a consultant ???

    After working as a SAP SD consultant,I realized a need for training SAP aspirants.But,focused only on a few SAP end users locally in Hyd, as the jargon
    and concepts were best suited for end users who work on live data ! Today with 10+ yrs SAP recruiting experience,  I wish to address this national demand (in India firstly) by locating near the end users community / location ( North India).
    I am open to  valuable suggestions / inputs related to training content ex: ASAP methodology ?
    Regards.
    DESH

    Hi Desh,
    There are lot of documents available in SAP Service Marketplace if you have S user id.  If you have already done a certification or working for implementation partner then you get this S user id to login into SAP Service Marketplace.
    SAP ASAP methodology comes with SAP Solution Manager, so you can check through SAP Solution Manager this ASAP methodology.
    In India, All CMMI level companies have their own delivery methodologies as per my knowledge, so 90% of the time they won't adopt SAP ASAP methodology... Either they go with Client methodology or sell their own implementation or support methodologies or different framework.
    At the outset, it is not mandatory to have this but if you have knowlege in delivery methodology framework like Waterfall, Scrum, Agile that would be added advantage.

  • Reset passwork for end user using XE version 2.1.0.00.39

    Hi All,
    I would like to create a link "Change Password" for end users to able to change their password anytime. I've followed the link below
    Self Reset Password
    but it still require the admin login before end users can change their password.
    The following steps that I did:
    1. Under "Shared Components", create a Navigation Bar entry name "Change Password".
    2. On page 1, click on the "Change Password" link under Navigation Bar and entered
    Target Type = URL
    URL Target = javascript:popupURL('f?p=4350:53:&SESSION.:::53.F4350_P53_USER_NAME::APP_USER');
    How do i make the "Change password" link go directly to reset password page after end users clicked on it without admin login require? I'm using a default authentication and all end users assigned to user group.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kevin

    Kevin,
    You want the users to go to popup page 58 (in application 4350). See this thread: Re: Pop Up Change Password Window . But I don't know if that will work in 2.1.
    In general, you're better off using other types of account management tools such as LDAP.

    I´m using Jdeve 10.1.3.2
    My application is working perfectly. However when I deploy to war file in publish it into application server OC4J. I can´t print report.
    the error says that it can´t find jrxml file.
    I´ve tried to deploy report´s files with the applicaiton. I´ve tried just to set the path of the jrxml file. but nothing works.
    How can I deploy my applicattion to use Jasper reports correctly?
    Thanks willian

    Hi,
    I think first you need to wrap it into an EAR file, then you can deploy it.
    As far as I know standalone deployment of WAR is deprecated as of 640.

  • I-tunes installed but cannot open in other users using Windows XP

    I-tunes installed and works with no problem in original user AND worked with a subsequent second user with a second I-Pod. After downloading version 7.5, I-tunes will not open in any other user in Windows XP including the 2nd user. Opening I-Tunes from the Start menu produced an installation / configuration attempt when trying to open in other users with nothing opening at the end. Same with Quicktime. Using the desktop shortcut produces the same installation/ configuration attempt resulting in a "problem with shortcut / fatal error during installation" message. All users are Administrators.
    I tried un-installing / re-installing, installing Quicktime alone, setting up a new user (same thing happens), tried MSCONFIG for any conflicts.
    Any ideas to open I-tunes in other user desktops?

    I have the same problem
