I have been trying in vain for many, many months to get BO to work with our MidTier. Business Objects says it is a BMC problem and vice versa. On top of that I don't really trust our Crystal admin. Up to now I could get the reports to display but always got an error when I tried to print them. I am able to export the report to a pdf but can not print it. Now I have another problem. I just updated the report in the remedy Report form and get this error: An unexpected error has occurred com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException$Unexpected: An unexpected error has occurred cause:java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: "C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11\win32_x86\plugins\desktop\CrystalEnterprise.Report\ReportAdd.exe" -report "C:\Program Files\AR System\ARWebReportViewer\reports\m11c23c11b16\6shgOZtHHZgKVndQxd8aK8q3Ak \POReport.rpt" -newrpt -discard -version 1100 -thumbnail -outfile -token z...@ag@_E\TAgWDIea[I<P0QZ9V<;YJ;JmL8fP82mY7]Q`91jlhYgd3==8SkcM=C1f=f5P:L 3S0]Gd;NGai31_De<<P0QZ9V<;Yj;J -token -outfile -thumbnail 1100 -version -discard -newrpt System\ARWebReportViewer\reports\m11c23c11b16\6shgOZtHHZgKVndQxd8aK8q3Ak \POReport.rpt?

The problem has to do with reportadd.exe. I assume this is copying over my new version of the report file. Our install of BOXI is on our D drive. The reportadd.exe file is located at d:\boerir2\common\3.5\bin In the error above it is looking for this file on the C drive. I also found this KB on the BMC support site: Can Business Objects XI be installed on a non-C drive to run Crystal reports in Mid-Tier? Product Environment Solution You should always install BOXI on "C:\" drive. If you don't install BOXI on "C:\" drive, you will get crystal exception such as below while running crystal reports. com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException$Unexpected: An unexpected error has occurred cause:java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: "C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11\win32_x86\plugins\desktop\CrystalEnterprise.Report\ReportAdd.exe" -report So is this a Business Objects bug or a BMC bug? BMC is not referencing any kind of KB or bug note from business objects. Also has anyone experienced the problem I am having where you can display the report but not print it? Running this on ARS/Mid Tier 7.1/Win Server 2003/IIS Thanks, Brian _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: RMI Solutions ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
