Hello

I am running CRX and we use Control M to schedule reports.  According to the company's website, you can create a .EXE and run it on the Windows Command prompt.

The problem is (as you will see below), there's no REPORT, COMPILED REPORT functionality in CRX.  Evidently, this has changed. 

"To create a Compile Report within Crystal, go into Crystal Reports and open a report,  from the menu select REPORT | COMPILED REPORT.  The Compile Report dialog box will be displayed.  You have the option to rename the report name.  By default, Crystal Reports uses the report name and changes the file extension from .RPT to .EXE."

Can anyone assist with this?

Thanks.

ps

Thanks.  I've also been searching the incredibly complex new Business Objects KB.  I have to tell you, it makes the Lawson KB look like the simplest thing ever known to man.

You are correct about that. The integration of BO into SAP's support has been a nightmare.

George Peck from the Ablaze Group wrote a pretty good article in his newsletter about the BO/SAP support fiasco (http://www.ablazegroup.com/program/misc/newsletter_summer2008.asp). 

See, I'm not the only consultant who can blast a vendor!

In fact, I wrote one myself for a client; it could probably be adapted to support input/output parameters in order to meet your Control-M scheduling requirements.

Here's an article from BO/SAP on this topic: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/20036

BTW, don't get too excited about the "viewer" they now provide -- it doesn't allow refresh, you have to save the data with the report .rpt file, so it's a static viewer.
