Configuring the Crystal Reports JDBC driver

When you install Crystal Reports, the following Crystal Reports JDBC driver
files are added to your system:

In the \Program Files\Business Objects\common\3.5\bin
directory:

crdb_jdbc.dll

crdb_jdbc_res_en.dll

In the \Program Files\Business Objects\common\3.5\java
directory:

CRConfig.xml

In the \Program Files\Business Objects\common\3.5\java\lib
directory:

CRDBJavaServer.jar

CRConfig.xml configuration for JDBC/JNDI

After installing the Crystal Reports JDBC driver, you must configure the CR
Config.xml

file before the driver will work. See the CRConfig.xml Tag

Reference in the Crystal Reports Online Help for a complete list of tags. The
main tags that you must configure are JavaDir, Classpath, and IOR
FileLocation

.

Business Objects universes

You can create a Crystal report from a Business Objects universe. Crystal
Reports lets you select a universe and design a query from it using a tool
called the Business Objects Query Panel. This query forms the basis of a
SQL statement that is saved as a Crystal SQL Command object. For more
information about SQL Command objects, search for the topic called "Defining
an SQL Command" in the Crystal Reports Online Help.
