Page 177 of the Mid Tier Admin guide says you need to create a virtual directory. Also support sent me a video last night and in it they create a virtual directory. I just want to know exactly what the Crystal Admin needs to do so I do not have to go back to them.

Pretty much everything you need to know is in the mid tier installation guide. On the BO box you need to have in addition to Crystal Report Server or BO Enterprise & IIS 1) Remedy User with the odbc driver and a matching system data source 2) Java runtime 3) The ARWebReportViewer . This is an option in the mid-tier install and can also install tomcat automatically. 4) Run the mid tier config on both your mid tier and your ARwebreport Viewer server. Follow the instructions on configuring them. Your mid-tier must point to your BO server for reports and your ARWebreport config must have the details on your BO configuration. I created a folder within Enterprise for the reports to be stored. This location is configured here. The installation above will demand a reboot so let your BO admin know that. I had to copy some files that we had installed on D drive to the C drive as the AR WebReport viewer seemed to look for them on C and I couldn't find anywhere to configure this. I have also found that the alias as defined within your crystal reports must reflect the Remedy form name with special characters replaced with underscores. Good luck with it. If you have any specific questions I may be able to help.

There is a Crystal Enterprise 10 Server on another physical server. I have read through the Mid Tier documentation and searched the support site but still not clear what I need to do to integrate the two of them. The admin on the Crystal Server is not the easiest person to work with so I want to be clear what I ask him to do. We are using IIS on both servers. I believe that a virtual directory needs to point to a report share. Is the report share on my Mid Tier and the virtual directory on the Crystal IIS server? What else needs to be done? Is there a clear document that outlines what I have to do?
