How do I install / access / find Crystal Reports Repository for B1 8.81?

[Former Member]

What are we attempting to connect to when we try to login to the Repository from Crystal Reports for B1? Is there server software we need to install? Buy? It's supposed to be a simple Access DB from all the CR 9.0 documentation we've read which seems to be the last documentation about this. Something that useful should definitely come with CR. Why can't we find any documentation on enabling or installing the Repository?

Hi,

it is a separate software, a part of the CR server.

It's not free for SBO as CR is.

More info [HERE|http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/information-infrastructure/sapcrystalserver/index.epx]

And as far as i know your not allowed to use CR for SBO to use the repository, you'll probably will also need a full CR licence.

If you are a VAR, probably a VAR evaluation version is available somewhere.

sorry for asking, but your answer is ment to answer this topic? as it seems non relevant

You can download crystal report for SAPB1 free from SAP Portal (let me know if you can't find the link) and install the viewer and designer along with SAP B1. SAP B1 is fully integrated with Crystal report, you can find the layout by opening any doc like Sales Order and then select "layout designer" from tool bar -> Manage layout -> select the required report menu from the left hand side of the layout manager.... and proceed.
