Scheduling the crystal Reports

Hi all,
What is the use of Scheduling the Crystal Report?
In the document I saw the use of scheduling is to run the object automatically at specified times.
I want to Schedule that Crystal Report. For that I followed the following Steps.
Login into CMCApp.
Select the required rpt file. and clicked the Schedule.
It opens the Schedule Screen.
In that I have specified the Recurrence Parameter and Scheduled For.
It refreshes the data,only if I press the Refresh button manually. Otherwise data is not refreshed.
The status of corresponding object is Success, while seeing the History of the Object.If I click the View Latest Instance in CMCApp, It shows the updated data(Refreshed Data).
Whether I am following the Correct Steps? Other than this What I have to do for scheduling?
How can i retrieve the data from View Latest Instance?
Thanks & regards,
Hemalatha J

Hello Hemalatha,
You can schedule Crystal Reports only in an BO Enterprise environment (BOE).
Documentation on how to schedule documents you can find in the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide [here|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/].
I also recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Best regards,
Falk

[Infoview - BOXI3.1] Error when attempting to schedule a crystal report

Hi,
I have an error, when i attempt to schedule a report. When i click on the "Format" link I get the error below:
An error has occurred:Item SI_XSLT_INFO was not found in the collection.
Googling this error suprisingly returns no results! I have no idea what could be at fault and would love to get some help from any experts! I am a very new user to business objects enterprise.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Dom

Hi Friend,
I faced the same problem while scheduling the crystal report in BO XI R3 Infoview.
How I resolved it is by publishing(Using Publishing Wizard) the crystal report in the BO XI R3 enterprise and then scheduling. It worked fine.
The crystal report which I created was in Crystal Reports XI and the new BO XI Infoview supports Crystal Reports 2008.
I think this might be the problem.
Thanks and Regards

Scheduling BW Crystal Reports Using SNC?

Here is the workflow that I am trying to handle:
I have created a Crystal report against a BW query and published that report to our BOE environment. That report is currently being scheduled to run in BOE using my BW credentials under Database Configuration. I do not want to continually maintain the BW credentials under Database Configuration when password changes occur.
Can I avoid this maintenance by enabling server-side SNC between BW and BOE?

I don't know the expiration, you'd have to test but if users login with SAP then a token is cached for a pretty long time (even after system reboots) They do eventually expire in some cases and you run into issues if users change their passwords in SAP. You can use SNC to work around those issues if they are even issues. So if your users change their passwords often and you see the logon token expiring then use SNC server trust (KB 1500150 will have all the info you need) else try without.

Would be thankful if someone could answer my point as applicable.
Here is the code attached.
ISDKList dbLogons = oReport.getReportLogons();int dbLogonSize = dbLogons.size();
for(int i=0; i<dbLogonSize; ++i) {
IReportLogon dbLogon = (IReportLogon)dbLogons.get(i);
dbLogon.setDatabaseName("DBname");
dbLogon.setUserName("usrname");
dbLogon.setPassword("pwd");
Thanks in advance.

Ted,
Thank you for your valuable information.
First, tried scheduling on Central Management Console and then with the java code.It worked fine, but here is another question for you.
On the Console, a report exists with ServerName and UserName harcoded and when trying to set ServerName and UserName from the java code, its throwing exception. Where as Password is not set on Console, am able to set password from java.
And DatabaseName is not set on Console (non editable), unable to set the same from java too. Why is it so?
So, my question is - though ServerName,DatabaseName,UserName,Password exists on the Console report, can't I override those parameters from java?
Would be greatful if you answer my question and provide me some guidance.
Thanks in advance.

Can IBM Tivoli Scheduler be used to schedule the crystal report?

Hi,
Can any one help ime resolve this query???
We need to sechedule crystal report on Tivoli Scheduler...
1) Is it possible.
2) If YES,what will be the format ??? will it accept the .rpt format.
Thanks,
Samundar

Haven't used Tivoli but it's probably safe to assume that scheduler is capable of triggering a batch file or a command line. If so, then there are several 3rd-party Crystal Report Managers (see list at: http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html) that can be called via a command line.

Batch processing/scheduling of Crystal Report

Hello ,
One of our crystal reports is based on customer number. We would like to schedule this report for every customer of our database. When the report is scheduled it should produce one report for each customer. Is there a batch processing function in BOE to achieve this?
Thanks for any idea,
Chrigu

This is how we solved this issue:
1. We built a Universe on the database table where the customer IDs are stored.
2. On this universe we built a simple Web Intelligence report that contains the information from the database table.
3. In InfoView create a new Publication. The source document is our RPT-file (with two parameters: Year and ID).
Under Dynamic Recipients choose the Web Intelligence report.
In the section Personalization we mapped the reports parameters with the fields from WebI report.
4. Save and schedule the publication

Scheduling of Crystal report or allowing user to refresh

I am the only person in my organization that has Crystal Reports. Normally I just develop and run the reports for my users. I have a report I have developed that one of my users needs to be able to refresh and update the parameters. I am trying to come up with the simplest, least expensive way to make this possible. It is my understanding that Crystal Reports Viewer will only let him look at the report, not refresh it, unless I have Crystal Reports server. I saw some other products on the Internet that say they would provide the capability I need, but are pretty expensive. The only other option I can think of is getting his own copy of Crystal, save my report definition onto a folder on our server, and just let him run it with his own desktop copy of Crystal. Anyone have any better ideas? Thanks.

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Business Objects Forum or if you have a valid support contract create a case on line.
You can set the option for the users not to be able to hit the refresh button or export to any format will also not give them the option to refresh

Scheduling Crystal Reports to produce a PDF

When I schedule a Crystal Reports report in Business Objects XI R2 to produce the report as a PDF the reports fails with the following error.
Object failed to run due to an error while processing on the Job Server.
The report runs successfully when scheduled to produce report in Crystal Reports format.
We can successfully schedule Web Intelligence reports to be produced as PDF

Hello Dave,
I would test if you can export this report to PDF from the CR Designer.
Also, is this problem in BOE only with one report or with all ?
Try to create a new Jobserver within the CCM, stop and disable the current and see if the new works ?

Scheduling Crystal Report to fax

Hello,
We have a requirement to schedule the Crystal Report to fax through Crystal Report Server 2008.
We use rightfax server with email gateway configured to SMPT server to send fax as email . In order to send fax as email right fax server uses addressing scheme like below for email address.
/fax= <fax Number>/<domain name)
/fax = 610666666/<arightfax(at)xyz.com>
In Crystal Report Server, I scheduled crystal report with destination as email and for " To field :" entered email address following above addressing scheme. But crystal report server does not recognize above addressing scheme as email address and job fails. Please advice if there is any way to resolve this or achieve my requirement through Crystal Report server.
Thank you.
Regards
Pushparaj.

I was wondering if you had heard or found anything on this Issue we are also trying to perform the same function and I am looking for some way to send several reports to the Right Fax printer or to the system.

do you have any service packs installed on your BOBJ server? Does your destination folder reside on a network drive?

How to hide Database Logon option when scheduling Crystal Report in BOE?

Hi All,
For security reason, we are try to hide the Database Logon option in Crystal Report Schedule page in InfoView.
There is option in CMC which we can configure the default Database logon option so that users do not have to enter the logon everytime they view or schedule the report. However, we are looking to hide this option completely.
Does anyone know if there is a security setting which can hide the option from specific users?
Thanks,
Bobby

Hi Bobby,
As Jorge informed that there is no method available within CMC to hide database logon option when scheduling or viewing a Crystal Report in the Info view. This is very much true.
But as you also mentioned that you don't want your users to enter the database logon credentials evertime they view or schedule a crystal report, there is one setting in CMC which we can do to avoid prompt for database logon credentials.
CMC - Home - Go to that specific crystal report - Click Process tab - Click the sub-tab 'Database' and at the bottom of the page there is an option "Use same database logon as when report is run". Check this option after providing the database credentials and click UPDATE.
Now whenever users try to view or schedule this specifc crystal report they won't be prompted for the database logon credentials.
Regards,
Venkat

Scheduling Crystal Report with Subreport in BOE 12.0.0.683

I have scheduled a crystal report in BOE that contains a subreport. The report successfully completes, but the data for the subreport is blank. I know there are records for the subreport because they are there when I run the subreport manually in crystal. Is there a way to fix this?

hi,
You can set the Idle connection time out parameter to desired value (in minutes) for Processing server using CMC.
