Hello,
I'm in the process of moving over our companies report management platform from Crystal Enterprise 9 to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2. We have an old VB6 app that uses the Crystal Enterprise InfoStore Library 9.0 (InfoStor.dll) to allow users to copy a report from one APS to another. Typically this is used to move reports from the development server to the production server.
Whilst testing this application against the new production server I am surprised to find that most of the application runs without a problem. I am able to conntect to the new CMS (nee APS), view the folder structure, view reports within the folders and view report properties. However, when I attempt to copy a report from one server to another it fails when I attempt to commit the copy. Here's the code that i'm using and that has previously worked fine against CE9:
Dim strErrorSource As String
Dim strErrorDesc As String
Dim lErrorNumber As Long
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim objSourceIStore As CrystalInfoStoreLib.InfoStore
Dim objDestIStore As CrystalInfoStoreLib.InfoStore
Dim objSourceReport As CrystalInfoStoreLib.InfoObject
Dim objDestReport As CrystalInfoStoreLib.InfoObject
Dim objDestReports As CrystalInfoStoreLib.InfoObjects
Dim objReport As CrystalReportPluginLib.Report
' Logon to the source and destination
Set objSourceIStore = GetIStore(strSourceAPSName, strSourceUserName, strSourcePassword, enuSourceAuthMode)
Set objDestIStore = GetIStore(strDestAPSName, strDestUserName, strDestPassword, enuDestAuthMode)
' Get the source report
Set objSourceReport = GetObjectByID(objSourceIStore, lSourceReportID)
' Get the destination report
Set objDestReports = objDestIStore.NewInfoObjectCollection
Set objDestReport = objDestReports.Copy(objSourceReport, ceCopyNewObjectNewFiles)
objDestReport.Properties("SI_PARENTID").Value = lParentFolderID
' Commit the changes to the destination APS
Call objDestIStore.Commit(objDestReports)
...
My question is therefore, seeing as how many of the other CE9 methods work against the BOEXI 3.1 installation, should I expect the Commit() method to also work, or does it need tweaking to get it to run?
Thanks,
Mike
