Report objects

The Crystal Import Wizard can import Crystal report objects only if they are based on native drivers, ODBC data sources, or OLAP data sources.

Supported reports are always imported with their parent folders, whether or not they exist already in the destination environment. However, so as not to overwrite existing folders, the Crystal Import Wizard appends a number to the end of any duplicated folder names to indicate the number of copies.

The Crystal Import Wizard can import successful instances and some recurring instances from Info systems. Recurrence patterns that cannot be automatically recreated within Crystal Enterprise are written to the log file created by the Crystal Import Wizard.

When you import reports based on a Crystal Info View, you are prompted to save the report files. Choose a specific folder where you want to save these reports. You can then run a conversion utility on all reports in that folder to convert them to use metadata. After converting the reports, you can publish them to Crystal Enterprise with the Crystal Publishing Wizard.
