Scheduled Recurring Crystal Reports have status "Pending" No matter what


I have a Crystal Report in SAP BusinessObjects XI v12.1.0 (also known as Crystal Reports Server 3.1 I think).

The report runs fine manually and does everything it should.

I schedule the report to run, but no matter what, the reports it spawns show a status of "Pending" in the instance manager, and don't appear to actually run (I can't see a successful run or a recorded run anywhere in the Instance Manager section of InfoView.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Update: Exact Steps I'm trying

Stopping here because i found a solution.


Solution

  • I found the following error in the history log:

    source file error. [CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged]: [Invalid argument]

    This led me to realize eventually that the username and password fields on the File Destination Screen are not for the file, but for the machine you're connecting to.

    BOE / Crystal Server makes no mention of this.

    Once I adjusted that, the file drop worked.
