Migration from Crystal reports 8.5 to XI

33 Views

Hi,

I have this scenario at present:

Crystal reports 8.5 is invoked by MS Visual C++ program passing report template name, report format, report location and params as parameters. This program invokes report engine, generates report in specified format and places it in specified location.

Now, am working towards achieving this:

1) Install Crystal reports 11 on same machine as crystal reports 8.5

2) Invoke crystal reports 11 report engine with same VC++ program, am not sure if this is possible as Crystal reports 11 doesn't mention about support of VC++ invocation.

3) Alternate to step 2 above, is to write a java program (similar to that of VC++) and run it in command line.

Kindly let me know your suggestions & steps to achieve my objectives above.

Thanks,

M.Ravi
