Report Analyzer Frequently Asked Questions

What versions of Crystal Reports does Report Analyzer support?
Report Analyzer can read reports created with versions 6.0, 7.0 (7.5 for Seagate Info Report Designer), 8.0,  8.5 and 9.0.

Does Report Analyzer require a version of Crystal Reports to run?
No, Report Analyzer distributes the Crystal Reports 9.0 runtime files. The run time files are installed using Windows Installer Merge Modules developed by Crystal Decisions, ensuring any existing files are not replaced during installation.

If you have a copy of Crystal Reports 9.0 Developer or Advanced editions installed, you can choose not to install the Crystal Reports runtime files to reduce installation time.

The Crystal 9.0 runtime files support side-by-side installation for workstations with a prior version of Crystal Reports already installed.

Can I document reports used by Seagate Info or Crystal Enterprise?
Report Analyzer supports direct connections to the Enterprise servers to document these environments. However, you must already have an Enterprise License to query the folder list. Report Analyzer cannot distribute the Enterprise run time required files so this feature requires a copy of Crystal Reports Developer Edition 8.5 (minimum) to be installed on the computer running Report Analyzer.

Seagate Info APS servers can be documented by opening the windows folder on the APS servers and selecting your reports.

Is there a limit to the number of reports Report Analyzer can document?
Report Analyzer has been tested with other a thousand reports in the documentation database. For large numbers of reports, several documentation databases can be created and maintained.

Can you make changes to the Report’s design in Report Analyzer?
No. Report Analyzer only has read access to the report files.

Can documentation be shared on a network?
Yes. The Microsoft Access database CA.MDB can be moved to any shared resource on the network and the Report Analyzer client programs pointed to read that database.

How is Report Analyzer Licensed?
Report Analyzer is licensed on a per-user basis. Each user who installs the program must own a user license.

How does Report Analyzer Work?

Report Analyzer connects to your local Crystal Reports or Crystal Enterprise APS servers and imports their design definition into a documentation database. These imported reports are organized into documentation groups within the database to organize your information for easy referencing and reporting.

How can Report Analyzer help you?

Report Analyzer now comes in two editions - Standard and Enterprise (click here for Enterprise features).
Both editions of Report Analyzer assist with:

  • Comprehensive report analysis
  • Reducing maintenance effort
  • Performance/design tuning
  • Change management
  • Test plan development
  • Extensive documentation

    Improve report performance

    Report Analyzer automatically detects potential performance issues in your report design settings, including record selection formulas, grouping options and database options.

  • Automatically detect reports that do not take advantage of server side database processing.
  • Detect record selection formulas that use data type conversion functions.
  • Detect group fields that use formulas instead of SQL Expression fields.
  • Find report tables which use less than an optimal number of fields.
  • Discover special fields which cause an additional pass over the report data source.

    Improve report reliability and maintenance

    Report Analyzer documents over 30 design and style settings.

  • Discover unused Formulas, Fields, and Variables.
  • Identify group settings that cause blank pages and footers.
  • Identify missing standard Crystal documentation best practices (Report Title, Author, Description special fields).
  • Locate reports which may use the "Convert null field to default" setting inconsistently.
  • Keep versions of your documented reports for historical comparison.

    •  

    Speed development and maintenance

    You can easily view dependencies between report objects such as formulas, SQL expression fields, parameters, and database fields with the dependency viewer. Additionally, the powerful query feature lets you view dependency information across reporting projects.

  • View report designs in a design window similar to the one in the Crystal Reports designer program.
  • Select design objects and view/print settings, formula code (including conditional formatting formulas), dependencies with other design objects, and call stacks (for formulas only).
  • Use interactive diagrams (trees) of formula hierarchies, object dependencies and report design elements.
