To find and open Crystal Reports using SI_Name & SI_PARENT_FOLDER

Question

Hi,
I have been given the below properties and link, which uses Crystal Reports (I guess its using java integration)
http://<portal server>/projectsportal/jsp/collaboration/deliverables/pdf_report.jsp?entity=1&Entity_Type=P&Key_Indicators=Y&LV_FROM_FY=&LV_TO_FY=
The properties used are
CMSName = 138.220.5.56:6400
hostName= crystalprd
authentication = secEnterprise
#infoStoreQuery = SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE ( SI_NAME = 'OrganizationReport' AND SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.Report' AND SI_PARENT_FOLDER = 2000 )
infoStoreQuery = SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE ( SI_NAME = 'scorecard' AND SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.Report' )
I have to make few changes in the Crystal Reports.
Please help me in finding out the report.  What is the location of the report ?
Thanks in Advance for your timely help.
Eswari.

You have most of the info already here.  Just use Query Builder to pull back the rest of the object info and you'll have what you need.  I'm not sure which report you want, but either can be achieved in much of the same way.  You'll need to know the parent-child heirarchy for the folder structure to determine where this report sits.  once you have this info, open the CR designer and open the report from the repository navigating the folder heirarchy you found.
1.  Open "Query Builder" from the start | programs menu on the server.  Depending on the version of XI you are using, the url will differ.
2.  Execute a query similar to what you posted to bring back the info for the report object (not instances) with the name 'scorecard'. If multiple reports exist in different folders with the same name, they will all be returned.
SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_NAME = 'scorecard' AND SI_PROGID = 'CrystalEnterprise.Report' and SI_INSTANCE = 0
3.  Look for SI_PARENT_FOLDER attribute and query on this ID next.  That should give you the name of the parent folder the report sits within.
SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_ID = <si_parent_folder>
4.  You will need to keep querying for the parent in order to work your way up the folder tree.
