Crystal Reports: Using Business Objects xi Datasource

I'm a total Crystal Reports/Business Objects newbie...

I've been tasked with going through 100 or so Crystal Reports to determine which reports are using an 'embedded' connection string vs. one supplied by the BOXi server.

I've installed Crystal Reports and accessed a sampling of the reports, but haven't been able to locate any references to a Repository based connection string/datasource.

Can anyone point me towards where this configuration i开发者_Python百科s managed?

Thanks! Richard

I don't know if you've already tried this or even if it's too basic for you, but it's been 24 hours, so here's my 2 cents:

To see the data source of each report, open them up and go to the Database at menu at top. There, you'll want to browse through the "Database Expert", "Set Datasource Location", and "Show SQL Query" options. Look at the properties of each data source.

You may also want to make a practice report pulling data from your sources of interest. That can help you get used to CR.

when you deploy the report to BO, you use the CMC (central management console) to set the database connection information. it is here that you will find the answer to your connection-string question.
