Refresh cristal report sending it different parameters

19 Views

I have Business Objects ENTERPRISE XI R2 installed on Redhat Enterprise Linux AS 4 update 4 and running on Apache Tomcat/5.0.27

Currently we have one Crystal template saved to Enterprise many times with the only difference being the name of the report and one parameter has a different value each time.

This is not ideal, because everytime we need to change something in the template we need to re-save over every report.

Idealy we would like to have one report (the template) saved to Enterprise and be able to execute it passing different parameters. execute from where? I don't really mind, Unix shell command, Java SDK or URL as shown below:

http://<server>:<port>/businessobjects/enterprise115/admin/en/infoobject.cwr
?action=-10005&cmd=run&refresh=r_ins&id=<report id>

I know the Java SDK can do it, but it may be a bit too advanced for me, I can't get a grasp on it.

What can you reccommend?
