Hello,

I have been working on a report that grabs information out of a database not connected to Centricity. I have set the proper datasource in Crystal Reports and saved it, but when trying to run the report within Centricity it appears to still want to use our Centricity database rather than the specified.

After some research it appears you can force a crystal reports connection in C#/VB/Etc so my assumption is that GE has built the Centricity Client with this in order to run the reports against the Centricity database.

Does anyone know of any ways to bypass this and allow the set datasource in Crystal Reports to be connection rather than what is coming from the Centricity client?

Thanks,

Jonathan

I ran across your question today while looking for something else. While I do not know how GE integrated Crystal reports within the Centricity application, I do have an alternate idea. Are you familiar with SQL Reports? If you build a report in SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) and set up your SSRS to have a general folder that allows the appropriate users access they can run the report in a browser. You can then add a link inside of Centricity to your SQL Report folder location or even directly to the report itself.
