Server Component

The Crystal Reports component is only displayed in the Installation Wizard on machines on which the Crystal Reports runtime components for the native platform are installed (see Install Crystal Reports).

You also need to install the Data Access Component on your system’s servers, along with other software. For the step-by-step procedure that you should follow in order to install the required software on your system’s server(s) and ViewX clients, see Install Crystal Reports.

For further information on installing components within the Server branch, see Install a Driver in ClearSCADA in the ClearSCADA Guide to Drivers.

The SAP Crystal Reports runtime components are NOT installed by default. If you intend to install them you must purchase a Crystal Reports runtime license for each server on which these components are to be operational (clients do not need a license to use the runtime components). For servers on which the runtime components are operational, the Crystal Reports runtime license is included with the ClearSCADA Crystal Reports driver license. Please contact your Schneider sales representative for more information.

If you intend using Crystal Reports on your system, you also need to install the Crystal Reports prerequisites and driver on any Permanent Standby servers, in order for the ClearSCADA database to synchronize. However, as the Permanent Standby ClearSCADA servers do not require the Crystal Reports driver to be operational, they do not require a Crystal Reports runtime license. (On the Modules tab on the Server Status Tool of such servers, the Crystal Reports driver will show a red 'No License' state due to the lack of runtime license. This is expected on Permanent Standby servers. On all other servers on systems that use Crystal Reports, the Crystal Reports driver and runtime components must be licensed.)
