Hi,
We have a project where we want to run a crystal report which is present inside the business objects and export this to a pdf without any user action. In other terms without any browser getting involved. Our Business objects is BOXIR3 server.
I need to run the report and export it without
exportControl.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(), null);
as I wouldn't have a request or a response object as this doesn't involve a browser.
Process which we follow to run the report currently.
1) We connect to our BO server using the
CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr().logon( ) method.
2) Use the cmsQuery option to search for the crystal report and retrieve the desired object using
IReportSourceFactory factoryPS = (IReportSourceFactory) enterpriseSession.getService("PSReportFactory");
Object reportSource = factoryPS.openReportSource((oInfoObject), Locale.ENGLISH);
3) After this I am able to retrieve the parameters that are needed and set the parameters which is needed dynamically using the
IReportParameter param = (IReportParameter) theReport.getReportParameters().get(i);
// from the parameters read out of the IReport object
ParameterField pf = param.getParameterField();
ParameterFieldDiscreteValue pfdv = new ParameterFieldDiscreteValue();
Question : How do I run this report now without the CrystalreportViewer and export the report. Because my project is not a web project and I want to have it as a stand alone java project.
Any answer\directions will be truly helpful.
