AFAIK, there's no way to do this with either the .NET or the Java SDK. However, you could look at SAP Crystal Reports Server. It is built on the same foundation as the full SAP BusinessObjects, but will only run Crystal reports. If all you need to do is automatically print or distribute some reports (to files or email) on a schedule, you wouldn't need very many licenses and it might be a very cost-effective way of doing this.

Hi Dell!
Thanks for your quick help. When exploring the features of Crystal Server I did not found anything about calling parameterized reports (by user input).
For example an user wants to call a predefined Crystal report enter the predefined input parameter eg. customer number (ideally within an SAP transaction or a .NET/Java program).
Before I dive into the Server universes it would be helpful to know if this is possible at all.
Thanks, Andreas
Hello,
Dell is correct, CR for VS and the BOE .NET's and Java SDK's are not capable of this.
Only work around is to use BOE or CRS based on a Universe and then use URL reporting to call the report which you can use in .NET, Java or RESTful SDK's
