Q: What are the differences between cViewMANAGER and cViewSERVER?

A: Both cViewMANAGER and cViewSERVER automatically schedule and distribute your reports. But, one runs as an application and one runs as a service.

Reasons to run cViewMANAGER Reasons to run cViewSERVER
• cViewSERVER, like all Windows services, cannot see mapped drives.

If your database requires a reference to a mapped drive on a remote you will not be able to use cViewSERVER.

You will need to revert to cViewMANAGER or use a UNC path if available.

• You can more closely monitor the report processing with cViewMANAGER.

• cViewMANAGER supports reports designed in most older versions, as well as newer versions, of Crystal Reports : Crystal Reports v7, v8, v8.5, v9, v10

• cViewMANAGER supports older versions of Windows operating systems:

Windows NT 4 and Windows 98SE (minimum)

Windows 2000 and above (recommended)
• cViewSERVER runs as a service. This means that cViewSERVER will start when the machine starts rather than requiring a user to log in and start a process.

• You do not need to be logged in as a user or as administrator–this is an important security consideration.

• The process starts automatically if the machine is rebooted.

• cViewSERVER uses the SMTP service included within Windows 2000 to send email. This is more reliable than the mail processing within cViewMANAGER.

• cViewSERVER supports the newer versions of Windows operating systems:

Windows 2000 and above (minimum)

Windows 2000 server or Windows 2003 server (recommended)

• Restriction: cViewSERVER supports only reports designed in later versions of Crystal Reports: Crystal Reports v9, v10.
