Crystal Enterprise Solution Kit for Baan 2.5
============================================

Please consult the following for last minute notes concerning the Crystal Enterprise Solution Kit for Baan product.

Technical Preview
-----------------
Customers who installed the Technical Preview should remove the entire software including all files and registry keys before installing the release version of the Crystal Enterprise Solution Kit for Baan product.

Crystal Native Driver for Baan
------------------------------

Connecting to a Baan server with spaces in the BSE

The native driver will fail when connecting to a Baan installation that has spaces in Baan Server Environment settings (eg. "C:\Program Files\Baan"). This problem could not be fixed before shipping because it requires a new Baan porting set.


Windows 95 and Windows 98 Support

Windows 95 is not supported due to conflicts with the Baan database library.  Windows 98 is supported but with the following limitations:

The Crystal Native Driver for Baan communicates with Baan through the Baan Database Interface (BDBI), formerly known as the BDB Library.  The BDBI allows the calling application to communicate directly with the Baan database and execute such operations as accessing Baan data. The BDBI writes to the event log when it encounters an error. When it fails to write to the event log, it will report an error and cease all operations. Windows 98 do not have an event log. Therefore, in the case of an error, the designer (Crystal Reports) may cease operations.

You will also have to log on as a local user, so you may need to create a local user first if you do not already have one. Logging on as a local user provides user profile and state information which the Baan API requires.

Sample Reports

Most of the sample reports contain saved data to illustrate the output of the report.  Note however that to refresh the sample reports, your Baan server must contain the same tables that are referenced by the report.

Windows 2000 Terminal Server

The Crystal Native driver is installed to winnt\crystal and winnt\crystal\Baan. To use with Terminal Server, copy the winnt\crystal directory and the baan subfolder to \Documents and Settings\<User>\Windows\

Record Selection Using "OR"

The Baan server currently does not support record selections such as:

	{tablea.fielda} = value1 OR {tablea.fieldb} = value2

As a result, processing of this query is performed by Crystal Reports locally versus on the database server.  Decreased performance may occur on large queries.

The Crystal Enterprise Solution Kit for Baan 2.5 was only tested with Crystal Enterprise 8.5. It should not be installed together with Crystal Enterprise 8.0 or Crystal Info.
