Report objects

The Crystal Import Wizard can import Crystal report objects only if they are based on native drivers, ODBC data sources, OLAP data sources, or Business Views. You have the choice to import the report instances for each report object, and the scheduling patterns that you have set up in the source environment are imported automatically.

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.

When you import content from one deployment to another, you can ensure that a particular user account retains ownership of its objects and scheduled instances by importing the user along with the content. If you don't import the user account, the ownership properties of its objects and instances are reset to your current administrative account. In the SDK, ownership is reflected by an object's SI_OWNERID property and by a scheduled instances's SI_SUBMITTERID properties.
