BusinessObjects XI COM Support

Question

I have an application that uses the Crystal Report COM SDK to create and manipulate reports against a Crystal Enterprise 10 repository. I would like to upgrade from Crystal Enterprise 10 to BusinessObjects XI and try to minimize changes to the existing application. I remember that the initial BusinessObjects XI release had a COM SDK provided but I am uncertain of the current status.

What is the last release of BusinessObjects XI that provides a COM SDK? Is that version of BusinessObjects Enterprise still available and is the COM SDK still supported?

Answer 1

We are currently using XI R3 SP2.5. I am using the com.crystaldecisions.sdk to modify/create/update reports. You should be able to move to XI R3 if I am understanding your quesiton correctly.

Some of the packages still used are:

• exception
• framework
• holder
• logging
• occa
• platform
• plugin
• etc...
