Bursting Manager

Now you can burst a large instance to small ones or burst one report to many!

Two powerful report burst and fan alternatives are supported:

Option 2:

Bursting to Different Printers

For both bursting a large instance or generating small instances, print the report to a static or dynamically selected printer. With dynamic printer selection, you can use business rules to print sections of the report to different printers. This printing option is in addition to the regular bursting destination, so Bursting Manager is actually able to do three things for you at once - burst, distribute and print.

Bursting Manager supports BusinessObjects XI, BusinessObjects EDGE, BusinessObjects Crystal Decisions, Crystal Reports Server and Crystal Enterprise!
