Works with all Crystal products Easiest to implement ad-hoc option Most flexible approach Re-implement data security and logic in SQL ODBC install and configure on each client

Wizard usable in all scenarios – more details in former Crystal presentation: http://psdn.progress.com/library/events_archive/index.ssp

ADO.NET implements ProDataSet Java client implements Temp-Table

NEW in OE10.1A - can use ProDataSet!

ADO.NET Example

Java / Temp Table Example

Web Services - GetOrders.P

DEFINE TEMP-TABLE OrderDetails

FIELD OrderNum LIKE Order.OrderNum

FIELD SalesRep LIKE Order.SalesRep

FIELD OrderDate LIKE Order.OrderDate

FIELD ShipDate LIKE Order.ShipDate

FIELD TotalDollars AS DECIMAL

FIELD OrderStatus LIKE Order.OrderStatus.

DEF INPUT PARAMETER i AS INTEGER.

DEFINE OUTPUT PARAMETER TABLE FOR orderdetails.

FOR EACH Order WHERE Order.CustNum = i:

CREATE OrderDetails.

ASSIGN

OrderDetails.OrderNum = Order.OrderNum

OrderDetails.SalesRep = Order.SalesRep

OrderDetails.OrderDate = Order.OrderDate

OrderDetails.ShipDate = Order.ShipDate

OrderDetails.OrderStatus = Order.OrderStatus.

What Do You Want to Offer?

Run completely locally or with AppServer Auto generate reports, feed parameters Use ODBC, XML or Open Client View in ActiveX window Print to printer locally or on server Export to PDF, Word, Excel, XML, HTML ???

Very loosely coupled interface Viewrpt.asp (.csp pre version 10) URL Parts:

• id = CMS Object ID• apsuser, apspassword, apsauthtype• init = Viewer Type• promptex • cmd; export_fmt; export_opt = Export Options• sf = Selection Formula• gf = Group Selection Formula

URL Syntax

Example URL’s – View and Refresh

http://nbbgibbs/businessobjects/viewrpt.cwr? id=152&apsuser=administrator &apspassword=Pr0gr3$$&apsauthtype=secEnterprise&cmd=export&export_fmt=u2fpdf:0

<same as previous, except last line>&promptex-empStart=10&promptex-MyParam=My own report header&init=actx:connect

Conclusion

Data access• ODBC for easiest ad-hoc and other cases • XML or Open Client Java Bean / ADO.NET

for best re-use of business logic Integration

• Use CR Server if possible – grow path to Business Objects Enterprise

• ActiveX or DHTML/Browser to view

Many options exist – which to choose?
