I have two custom programs: one relies on an Access db, the other uses an Oracle db.
I have CR 11 installed (all options).
Each vendor provides their own unique CR Runtime environment.
The Oracle-based program works great with our custom CR reports. We have this same setup on several users' Windows 7 PCs (32&64 bit). We don't install the CR, just the vendor-supplied RTE for these installations. A few users can write their own reports so they will have the full CR installed as well.
However, when I install the Access-based program and install then its CR RTE the Oracle-based program can no longer access our external CR reports.
I've scoured the web looking for any info on the CR RTE and how to configure it. Nada.
Is there a way for ME to look at the components of the CR RTE that each vendor's RTE is using and then somehow COMBINE them so ONE RTE will work for BOTH programs?
(NOTE: we previously approached the vendors a few years back to come up with a solution and it never got anywhere, As a work-around we had one PC set up with the ACCESS db only. Now we are upgrading all XP machines to Win 7 and want to eliminate this stand-alone XP machine and have both apps run on the same Win 7 PC.)
SAP CR Gurus! What say ye?
