Use BIRT. Open Source, works OK. You'll need to understand a whack of stuff about "Web Reporting" and (perhaps) write a one or two line Java class. We use it on this project in ITSM 7. Even easier for your own stuff. Cheers Ben Chernys
_____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Myers Sent: October 28, 2008 2:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Web Reporting ** I attempted this post yesterday and did not see it on the list. I apologize if it is a repeat. We are looking at solutions for providing the ability to view, save to file and print Crystal Reports from the ARS 7.1 mid-tier (we do not currently use the mid-tier). I have received so much conflicting information and I was hoping someone would share their experiences. We have been told we need to spend anywhere from $600 to $100,000. We have a list of 6 - 8 products and versions that may or may not be workable. Obviously, we would like to spend as little money as possible. So, would anyone who has travelled this path be willing to share the details of their implementation including approximate costs and licensing requirements? I've contacted BMC support and of course was told to look at the product compatibility matrix. I have and I've looked at the mid-tier documentation. What it doesn't tell you is which supported application would be best suited to our implementation (small company with limited but growing reporting needs) and if there may be other un-supported apps that could do the trick. Of course, the vendors want to sell you the Cadillac when a Yugo would suffice. Thanks!
