CR - Is it possible to run all on-demand subreports at the same time?

418 Views

Hi everybody,

I am having some fantasy - maybe it could turn true.

I am developing a comprehensive project in SAP B1 ver 8.82 SQL and Crystal Reports 2008.

The final report will comprise of 1 Main Report and a dozen of on-demand subreports.

Each subreport runs a separate Stored Procedure. All SPs have the same input parameter.

Is it possible to run all reports (main and subs) at the same time?

Either all reports are run when I click OK in Selection Criteria box.

Or the Main Report contains an on-demand subreport which runs all the other subreports when I click on it.

I know, subreports are not meant to work this way.

But I have some concern about synchronizing the Main Report with all the subreports.

If a user open the Main Report, and only clicks a subreport 2 hours later, the data may have changed.

But if I run the main report and the subreports all at the same time, all reports will be in synch.

The user can click any CR tab at any time, and be assured that the sub and the main are in synch.

Performance is not a problem, as I have developed, with gracious help from this forum, a super fast method of running my reports on Server.

Any one has ideas? Please submit some ideas, and I will work on them.

Thanks

Leon
