Can BOE .NET SDK Schedule Crystal Report on SAP Business Intelligence Platform?

[former_member709912]

I need to programmatically schedule a Crystal Report, served through the BI platform, with parameters, and set data source credentials using the .NET SDK.

I know from this answer that the Crystal Reports .NET SDK does not support connecting to BOE any more, and that the BOE .NET packages are required instead.

I am not an S-user ID, so I cannot access Software Downloads to test the BOE .NET SDK. So can someone let me know if the prior mentioned SDK can be used to programmatically schedule a Crystal Report, served through the BI platform, with parameters, and set data source credentials (i.e. does it have in InfoObject etc)?

Yes. I have some older sample code for this on my website. Look for "BOEScheduleCrystal" at http://www.dellstinnett.com/sample_code.html.

Hi Dell, I see that project is targeted at .NET Core v2. Is it possible to use BOE .NET SDK with .Net Framework 4.6.1?

Yes, that is very old code that targets .NET 2.0, not .NET Core 2.0, but it should work with the newer .NET framework. You'll need to target the full version of .NET, not the client or core version.
