We have reporting services on the framework.  We want to be able to publish other database(not Lawson) crystal reports through LBI.  Do I need to create another reporting sevices on the framework?  Or I can use the same one but how to separate these 2 database reports?

You only need to set up the non-Lawson data sources in Reporting Services. Lawson and non-Lawson data sources can coexist in Reporting Services.

We currently have other applications like Kronos and ImageNow also linked into reporting services. A separate data source is all you need to accomplish this. You may also need the ODBC set up on the server itself but overall this task is very easy and you will be off and running with reporting from other systems in minutes.

LBI can handle data from any system as long as you can connect to the data. After that you are just publishing the reports and using the data connections to retrieve refreshed data in the reports
