BMC Out of Box reports
Good afternoon all, I hope you had a great weekend. Now for the question, has anyone had issues with modifying the out of box crystal reports? I can create new reports with no issues, however I am getting some strange issues changing the out of box ones. FYI: this is ITSM 7, patch 7 running on 7.1 patch 3.

Re: BMC Out of Box reports
Yes. I have tried to modify 2 of them and have been able to save them to the report record, but they will not execute without strange errors. We plan to work on this again tomorrow so I will let you know if I discover anything new.

What are the error messages that you are receiving.? I worked quite a bit with modifying out-of-the box crystal reports and customizing reports. -Original Message- From: Howard Richter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Sent: Mon, 28 Jul 2008 12:40 pm Subject: BMC Out of Box reports ** Good afternoon all, ?

Re: BMC Out of Box reports
They just will not pull anything back from the database. For example take any of the incidnet reports, I have connected to the database and when I refrech the report from Crystam, it will prompt you and then say that there was no data to pull back. If then create a new report (also on the HPD:Helpdek) it runs great. Its very strange, almost like its not talking to the same database, but there is only one connection.

Re: BMC Out of Box reports (UNCLASSIFIED)
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE We have modified several reports for our use (particularly, making the Notes area "grow"). The issue I believe you're having is with the ODBC connection credentials assumed by the canned reports. The OOTB (canned) reports will work with the credentials BMC embedded, but if you modify them, you'll have to work with your local credentials. First of all, save a copy of the original report (but you already knew that). Make desired changes to a copy, and "verify" the database. Make sure that the "new" connection is using valid local user credentials and/or ODBC connection settings. Replace the file in the Report form record, and you should be on your way. HTH, Michael W.

Re: BMC Out of Box reports (UNCLASSIFIED)
Michael, Thanks I was given access to another pc and they were able to be modified. It looks like it was an install issue with crystal 11 or the Remedy ODBC drivers.
