Wanted to know if anyone has a solution to automate Crystal reports and send the output to a list of people.

Is there an SAP product that does this ?

Are you using another product to accomplish this ?

Thank You

Usually make my own emailing/exporting report software for my clients which is run as a service and can be configured to which reports go to what shared folder or email address.

I started playing with a product called Logicity and it seems to work well. I started looking into different product that could perform this task and most of them wanted at least $800-1500 to do a limited number of reports. Logicity is only $85/user.

We use the SAP Business Console which is nice but I think it is expensive - I'm not privy to the bills but I've heard it is. My only issue with it is that if I run a report and nothing returns on it the SAP still emails the blank report (a blank attachment) instead of just not generating the email.

If you are on CPS (SQL), you can use SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) to automate delivery of reports via email. I don't think it will integrate with Crystal Reports, but I personally find working with SSRS a lot easier than working with Crystal.

SAP Crystal Reports Server 2013

just be wary, it is a hug pain to set up and maintain, but when it works it works beautifully. Much like another product we all know! 😉

We have been using Easy View for several years, and it has worked flawlessly. The cost is about $40. If you're used to creating the reports in Crystal and just need a way to automate the report to run and share, I highly recommend it. I create my own reports and set them up to automatically run and email to a list of co-workers on a scheduled basis. Easy View just runs on my workstation, no server.

There is a trial version available for download, too.
