Hello Abdul,

Report Creation API (RCAPI) comes in to play under both of the scenarios you listed.

There's an SAP note about RCAPI calls for CR9 - they're the same for CR9, CR10, CR XI, and CR XI R2. Here's the link:

[1215693 - Listing of version 9 Report Designer Component (RDC) Report Creation API calls|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do]

Actual, additional licensing requirements changed after the release of CR XI R2 with Service Pack 2. Here's a link to a Licensing document from 2007. I'm not sure if this covers the changes after CR XI R2 SP2:

[Description of Product Use Rights (10/22/07)|http://www.businessobjects.com/pdf/products/licenses/description_of_product_use_rights.pdf]

You will probably want to call the Crystal Reports Sales group for current RCAPI Licensing information. Their number is 1-800-877-2340, select option 2 and then option 1.

Sincerely,

Dan Kelleher
