What is an CSP File Related to Crystal Reports?

Question

I'm working with crystal reports, and I keep hearing I'll need to URL of the CSP.

Answer 1

Older versions of "Crystal Enterprise" included a web application named "ePortfolio".  Among other things, ePortfolio was capable of running reports written in Crystal Reports.

The code behind ePortfolio was referred to as CSP.  CSP is essentially ASP (javascript) that is capable of invoking API calls to a bunch of Crystal Reports SDKs.

The final version of software named "Crystal Enterprise" was version 10.  Several years ago Crystal Enterprise 10 was replaced with BusinessObjects Enterprise XI and Crystal Reports XI Server.  The XI version was no longer based on ASP... instead it was based on java and has lots of hooks to their java SDKs.

Hope that helps!
