Integrating data with the TRIRIGA Connector for SAP BusinessObjects

You can run reports that are created in Crystal Reports in your IBM® TRIRIGA® applications. You must configure a Crystal Reports server. You must also configure IBM TRIRIGA applications so that you can display the output from Crystal Reports in forms.

SAP Crystal Reports runs on a server. It can run on the same server as the IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform or on a separate server. The server runs the Crystal Reports Server (RAS) engine. It communicates with the application server and the process server by TCP/IP and with the database server by JDBC. The server does not communicate directly with users and is kept isolated from HTTP requests.

You can use Crystal Reports to create form reports and query reports. Form reports are used most often to display the contents of a single record. Form reports that are generated by Crystal Reports contain data from one top-level record. Query reports are used most often to display multi-record information. Query reports can contain data from any number of top-level records and multiple levels of detail that are accessible through associated business objects and records.
