Crystal Reports Tools: Improve Performance While Saving Time and Money

Crystal Reports Solutions: cViewSERVER vs. Problems

If you have any of the problems shown below,
you need the cViewSERVER Crystal Reports Scheduler.

If your problem is… You need cViewSERVER to...
Admin has to stay logged in to send reports Send reports from a service, rather than from an application.
Data crashes are occurring. Spread your report distribution out, or schedule for off-peak times.
Distributing reports is time-consuming Automate your report distribution.
Inability to use the same report multiple times with different parameters and/or destinations. Create distribution lists and customize who gets what. Then, send it automatically.
Inability to upgrade the network to handle the increased report traffic. Spread your report distribution out, or schedule for off-peak times.
Manual report distribution is:
  • costly.
  • labor-intensive.
  • tying you to a rigid schedule.
 Automate your report distribution.
Reports, distributed manually, are:
  • duplicated or redundant.
  • inconsistently delivered.
  • interrupted during delivery due to other demands.
  • late.
  • missing altogether.
 Automate your report distribution.
Re-using a report would make so much sense and save you loads of time and money. But you don't have a way to do it. Distribute reports to whatever lists you want. You can set parameters to use variations of the same report over and over.
Security issues make it tough to admin report distribution. Send reports from a service, rather than from an application.
Slow network performance. Can't afford to upgrade the network. Automate your report distribution.
Timely reports with current information are needed. Schedule your report distribution for when users want to receive reports--rather than for when you can find time to send them.

Installation/usage note:

It's usually best not to install a scheduler on the same machine as Crystal Reports. The issue is that you do not want different versions of Crystal Reports running reports at the same time, causing conflicts. That also means not having other schedulers such as Business Objects Enterprise or Business Objects Report Server on the same machine as our schedulers.

  • You do not need to install Crystal on the machine where you install cViewSERVER and we generally advise that you don't.
  • If you do have the same version of Crystal installed on the machine where cViewSERVER is running, that's OK although we generally advise that you don't because future installs may have a different version Crystal run time and that would cause conflicts in the future.
  • If you have different versions of Crystal on the machine where cViewSERVER is running reports, that's OK too; but only if they are not running at the same time.

  • Save time. cViewSERVER schedules your reports to run at a convenient time so you do not have to be there or to wait for them to finish. You select the output format in advance and where to send it.
     
  • Increase productivity. Once you set your options, your reports will be sent regularly to where you want. You can say what time and how frequently your reports will run, all without user intervention. You decide on the output format from Crystal Reports and then say if they are to be printed, emailed as an attachment or saved to disk.
     
  • Enjoy extra flexibility. One report can be sent to multiple email addresses. You have the option to send to remote or local printers or folders. Emailing is independent of email client or email server. If your email server is unavailable, cViewSERVER will hold the output until the server is available.
     
  • Keep control. You manage the list of reports. You can set parameter input and a list of email addresses for each report. Database passwords are controlled by you rather than the recipients needing a password.
