For example, you could create an invoice report that bursts invoices to customers daily, for customers who purchased from you on that day. Bursting allows for using one single report to output (burst) to file names or email addresses based on the group header (GH1) values ('GH1 Bursting'). More advanced event-based report processing is also possible integrating with Event Server (SQL triggers, file triggers, and mail triggers).įor an added bit of automation, Report Runner Batch can do 'Bursting' batches as well. This allows you to do time-based report automation on various days, dates, and times. Scheduling is done with our built-in scheduler (that 'talks' with Windows Scheduler). They can be exported in most any format that Crystal Reports supports such as PDF, XLS, and many more. These reports can be emailed, printed, FTP'd, posted on a server, faxed, and SMS'd.

It makes it possible to automatically run multiple reports on a regularly scheduled basis, all without user interaction. Report Runner Batch works with all versions of Crystal Reports. Report Runner Batch is an automated report distribution tool for Crystal Reports.
