can .net run/view Crystal report using Business View Manager layer

43 Views

Heard that Visual Studio.net with BOE/Crystal SDK's cannot handle a Crystal Report that is using the BOE Business View Manager layer to abstract complexity of data sources.

I have a VB.net viewer that can handle Crystal reports that do not go through this layer, but it fails on those that use this layer. Maybe I need a smarter viewer?

Running such a report in the Crystal 11 designer client, I am prompted for Central Management Server id and password (and a dynamic connect choice of test or prod DB defined by Business Manager layer) before rendering report. I have tried (without success so far) to establish a CMS session before calling the viewer, but even if I get this to work, perhaps I am wasting my time if the SDK's cannot handle a report using Business Manager layer.
