I am a .NET developer who currently has a report that requires a one time use data source credential.
I figured the best way to achieve this is to manage the Password externally.
Is there a way from a Business Object Report to pull data source credentials every time the report runs?
A) Is this possible?
B) Is it possible to call a soap or rest service?
C) Can I make a call from the command line within the Crystal Report?
This is not possible from within BOBJ using the standard processing. You might want to look into creating a “processing extension” that would do this. You can find more information about this here: https://archive.sap.com/discussions/thread/3509933. AFAIK, processing extensions are still available in 4.2.
