RE: Crystal and JDEWorld
Crystal and JDEWorldWe are using both Crystal Reports and Seagate
Info/Crystal Enterprise against JDE World. We use the Client Access OBDC
driver to go against the database. The only problem associated with this is
the Client access OBDC driver does not convert any of the Data Dictionary
items or the JDE Julian Date this has to be done either in the SQL or using
formulas. You can also setup the crystal dictionaries to convert the data to
the correct format.
However we have found crystal to be very powerful as it can report against
multiple databases simultaneously, and reports can be presented in multiple
formats i.e. HTML, Excel, Word,etc.
If there are enough World users of Crystal reports that would contact
Crystal Decisions and request a specific ODBC driver for JDE World I am sure
they would start listening and develop one for us as they have already built
one for the JDE One World product.
