RW100 copy to Crystal

If you enable the Xtra XML flag on the RW100 report when you run it you can use that as your Crystal Report data source (using the Lawson OLE-DB connector). The report won't come into Crystal already formatted but the data fields will be there for you with all of the calculations that make using RW100 nice.

We have reports set up In RW100 that when we X the XTRAXML render "automatically" in LBI and burst. If you are using LBI as your reporting tool this by-passes the need for Crystal. I do think it is limited, for bursting, based on the style of the report and the elements used for tagging must be Lawson defined. (a/u, Company...)..We do have to monitor LBI as sometimes it does not "see" that reports have been updated, so we have to "re-start" the system and then it updates...not a technician so may have used some incorrect nomenclature

Another concept you might have heard is the publishing of "back office" reports via LBI, which is essentially a copy of the print file from the app server to the LBI server, but doesn't use Crystal. =

If you would like to use RW100 into crystal beacuse of the end product being much better looking than the std RW100 output remember that your RW100 report should have only one format. It can be either style 1 or style 2 but should have only one format. You cannot define multiple formats and have the RW100 get to crystal.

If you want multiple format RW100 then you should use back office publishing for your RW100 report.

I'm trying to bring an RW100 report into crystal and everything comes in but the totals. The RW is a Style 1. Any Advice so I don't have to write all these formulas again in Crystal?
