Distributing Through the Web

I want to distribute Crystal Reports through the Web but I need to scale beyond the built-in simultaneous request limit of 3 provided with Crystal Reports Advanced.

Install Crystal Enterprise Embedded and either use one of the sample Web reporting applications or include programmatic access to the object model in your applications.

In cases where there have been legacy applications written in previous versions of the Crystal product set that make use of the Report Designer Component (RDC) or the Crystal Print engine (CRPE), Crystal Enterprise Embedded edition should be considered the logical migration path. This is particularly true when you're developing applications that require Web access. This version of the product leverages the advantages of the client/server architected components in RAS that are specifically written for the Web. In the following two chapters the common Crystal Viewers SDK and the functionality in the RAS SDK are presented in increasing detail.
