This section discusses how to upgrade your Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded 
Edition application to use managed reporting in Crystal Reports Server XI. 

 

While the Report Application Server (RAS) in Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded 
Edition is capable of viewing reports, its main purpose is to create and modify 
reports at run time. The Page and Cache servers in Crystal Reports Server XI, on 
the other hand, are optimized for viewing performance. 

With Crystal Reports Server, you have the option of specifying which reports 
you want your users to view on demand, schedule, and browse by setting 
security on the published reports and folders. 

Crystal Reports Server gives you control over which users can use your 
application without writing any additional code. By creating users within the 
Crystal Reports Server XI system, you not only have control over who accesses 
your application but you also have control over what users are able to see. 

By scheduling reports once or on a recurring basis, your users will have the 
report they need with the most current data available to them. For large, 
complex reports, reports can be scheduled to run during off-peak hours to save 
time. 

You also have the flexibility of scheduling reports to various locations such as to 
a user’s e-mail address, FTP site, or file system location. 

The Central Management Server (CMS) interface enables you to access each 
object in your Crystal Reports Server system,. This makes it easy to manage the 
reports used in your application and to set various object properties. 

Before upgrading your application, first complete these steps to modify your 
reports: 

1.  Install Crystal Reports Server XI. 

2.  Publish your reports to Crystal Reports Server XI using the Publishing 

Wizard.  

3.  Create or modify the report data source(s) to work with the newly published 

reports, as required.
