The Crystal Report Viewer Tool
The concept of the Crystal Report and Crystal Rpt Viewer was originally designed by Crystal Services, Inc, in versions 1.0 to 3.0. Seagate Software (Crystal Decisions) produced 4.0 -9.0 before selling to Business Objects, which in turn produced verions X, XI and XII. This version (XII) is currently owned by SAP.
This software is the premier report writing tool of the present age. It utilizes information from various forms of documents - from spreadsheets, word processing, text files, XML files. The Crystal Report Viewer can gather information from database sources such as Oracle, Btrieve, IBM DB2, Sybase, Ingres, Interbase, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Serve, and any other web service, ODBC, OLAP, or JDBC. Visual studio integrates Crystal Reports in its software programming and Java developers are able to build applications using Crystal Reports.
This data can be quickly assembled using this miraculous tool and a high quality presentation created using streaming format, nested sub reports, simple columns, text and object imports, spreadsheets, graphs, charts, photographs, etc.. The ability to quickly generate and enhance a full report is even more useful since the report can then be distributed via the web - simply plug into html for easy emailing or add as an attachment to any interoffice memo. A comprehensive presentation can be virtually anywhere in the world at the click of a mouse.
The Crystal Report Viewer enables speed, creativity and variety in the generation of web-based reports using a wide variety of data memory banks. Featuring a report designer, the crystal report viewer is integrated with Visual Studio, utilizing supported data sources. This revolutionary business application and dissemination of information is possible because of the use of activex technologies through asp (Active Server Pages), which uses activex controls - a component object model (COM) - to embed information in ASP on the web (primarily Internet Explorer). Originally available only as an add-on from Microsoft, asp have been a free component of Windows Server since ME 2000. The crystal report viewer assembles and designs dynamic reports, utilizing asp on the web for distribution of the reports. The versatility of the Crystal Report Viewer Tool is amazing. What used to be a long, tedious process to find, gather, cull, cut and paste, re-create and re-write information into a reportable form has been streamlined and simplified by a complex and creative software program which enhances not only the generation of such reports, but also the experience of the targetted audience. And the use of this crystal report viewer allows that audience to see every bit of information aimed at it. It's a real marvel of the computer age!
