Hello Amitra.
By "Run By", I am assuming that you want to retrieve the name of the user who scheduled a report instance.  If that is so, then that information can be retrieved from the Scheduling Info of the scheduled instance.  There is no direct function call from the scheduling info in the SDK.  However, this information can be retrieve by retrieving the properties of the scheduling information and then retrieving the property vale for the property called "SI_SUBMITTER".  Please note that the scheduling information is only available if it is an instance (SI_INSTANCE = 1).  The following JSP code will retrieve the "SI_SUBMITTER" information and display it on the screen:
<%@ page import = "com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.ISessionMgr,
                       com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.CrystalEnterprise,
                       com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.IEnterpriseSession,
                       com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.infostore.IInfoStore,
                       com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.infostore.IInfoObject,
                       com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.infostore.IInfoObjects,
                       com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.infostore.ISchedulingInfo,
                       com.crystaldecisions.sdk.properties.IProperties,
                       com.crystaldecisions.sdk.properties.IProperty"
%>
<%
     //Declarations
     // Business Object Declarations.
     IEnterpriseSession boEnterpriseSession = null;
     ISessionMgr boSessionMgr = null;
     IInfoStore boInfoStore = null;
     // InfoObject Declarations.
     IInfoObjects boInfoObjects = null;
     IInfoObject boInfoObject = null;
     ISchedulingInfo boSchedulingInfo = null;
     IProperties boSchedulingProperties = null;
     IProperty boSI_SUBMITTERProperty = null;
     Object boSI_SUBMITTERPropertyValue = null;
     // The information to logon to the Enterprise.
     String logonUserName = "<Enter logon user name here>";
     String password = "<Enter logon password here>";
     String cmsName = "<Enter CMS name here>";
     String authType = "secEnterprise";
     // Query to retrieve the instance infoObject.
     String queryInstanceString = null;
     String reportName = "<Enter report name here>";
     // Initialize the Session Manager by getting it from the Crystal Enterprise
     // class's getSessionMgr function.
     boSessionMgr = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr();
     // Logon to the Session Manager to create a new BOE session.  Pass in the
     // user name, password, the CMS name, and the authentication
     // type.
     boEnterpriseSession = boSessionMgr.logon(logonUserName, password, cmsName, authType);
    // Retrieve the InfoStore object
    boInfoStore = (IInfoStore) boEnterpriseSession.getService("", "InfoStore");
    // Set up the query string to retrieve the source user.
    queryInstanceString = "SELECT SI_ID, SI_NAME, SI_SCHEDULEINFO FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_INSTANCE = 1 AND SI_NAME = '" + reportName + "'";
    // Execute a query of the infoStore to retrieve the infoObjects collection.
    boInfoObjects = boInfoStore.query(queryInstanceString);
       // Retrieve the first infoObject.
       boInfoObject = (IInfoObject) boInfoObjects.get(0);
       // Get the scheduling information for the infoObject instance.
       boSchedulingInfo = boInfoObject.getSchedulingInfo();
     // Retrieve the properties for the scheduling info.
     boSchedulingProperties = boSchedulingInfo.properties();
        // Reteieve the submitter of this particular scheduled instance (i.e. the person who ran the report).
     // The property that we need to retrieve is the SI_SUBMITTER property.
     boSI_SUBMITTERProperty = boSchedulingProperties.getProperty("SI_SUBMITTER");
     // Get the value of the SI_SUBMITTER property.
     boSI_SUBMITTERPropertyValue = boSI_SUBMITTERProperty.getValue();
     // Print out the SI_SUBMITTER property value.  This is the person who scheduled the report.
     out.println("<br>The value for the SI_SUBMITTER value for the report instance for the report that has name '" + reportName + "' is '" + boSI_SUBMITTERPropertyValue.toString() + "'.<br>");
%>
I hope that this helps you out.
Regards.
