Hands On: Developer Hands On Samples
Developer Active Server Page samples
The Active Server Page examples installed with Seagate Crystal Reports were developed to provide an overview of how to use the features of the automation server in Active Server Page scripting. Each sample page is commented and can be used as an example or as a template to integrate Crystal Reports into your own ASP applications.
Examples of using the Seagate Crystal Reports Automation Server in Active Server Pages can be found in your "Seagate Crystal Reports Directory" at \samples\aspsamples. Six of the demos can be run by browsing to http://<machinename>/scrsamples and clicking on the "ASP Demos" link. These pages can also be found in your "Seagate Crystal Report Directory" \reports\ASPDemos.
Reports Server Samples
The Web Reports Server provides 4 different report server options: The CGI, ISAPI & NSAPI server extensions as well as the ASP Reports Server. The purpose of this sample is to allow a comparison of report output across these server options within different viewer types.
Browse to http://<machinename>/scrsamples and click on the "Report Server Samples" link. Select your choice of server and viewer. The same 5 sample reports are available to select from under each viewer type. Selecting different servers in conjunction with the various viewers will allow you to see how a particular combination renders the report output and the level of viewer functionality delivered. To view reports via the CGI Web Reports Server you must have a script enabled browser

In an effort to streamline the creation and testing of Hypertext links or HTML forms that are referencing reports we have provided an interface on the SCR Samples Web page that makes this process much easier. The interface, a Java script 1.0 application, also provides an environment for creating customized object or applet tags for the ActiveX and Java Smart Viewers.
To utilize this application, browse to http://<machinename>/scrsamples and click on the "Web Report Server Parameter Expert" link. You should be using a Netscape Navigator 4.X (latest version) or Internet Explorer 4.01 browser.
