You can use robust security options
for user, group, object, and folder lev-

Web services make it easier and faster
to integrate Crystal Reports Server and
SAP applications with Web-based
applications and facilitate the deploy-
ment of Crystal Reports Server and
SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise with
customized applications. Web services
are available for document display and
refresh and to provide drill-down func-
tionality to end users. For developers,
the Web services provider is deployed
on the server side with Crystal Reports
Server or SAP BusinessObjects Enter-
prise. For developers, the API enables
the creation of customized Web sites,
applications, or Web services that
access the services in Crystal Reports
Server.
Portal Integration Kits
Crystal Reports Server supports inte-
gration into industry-leading portal
server environments by delivering com-
ponents with similar functionality to the
end-user portal. Prebuilt portal integra-
tion kits for Microsoft Sharepoint, IBM,
and Oracle portals are available for use
with Crystal Reports Server. These por-
tal integration kits use portal standards,
such as JSR 168 and Web Parts.
Management Tools
To support decentralized management
functions, Crystal Reports Server
includes a Web portal for tasks such as
password management, report sched-
uling, and user-access control. You can
customize and automate management
tasks using the Crystal Reports Server
SDKs.
Central Management Console
For total system control from a single
Web interface, you require a powerful
yet easy-to-use administration environ-
ment to help you manage a broad set
of end-user interaction requirements,
as well as security and access rights.
Crystal Reports Server includes a
central management console – a 100%
Web-based environment for centralized
system management, deployment, and
configuration. The console (see Figure
5) provides flexible, powerful, and
granular control of the environment for
tasks that include user-role setup,
security access, server administration,
password management, and so on. It
enables administrators to readily
access and configure the software
while controlling the overall access
rights, applications, and end-user view-
ing experience. IT management and
administration personnel benefit from
the central repository for all Crystal
Reports, Xcelsius dashboards, folders,
and user profiles, as well as from
access to security entitlement data-
bases for user, role, and document
security.

access to the right infor-
mation at the right time.
