We're creating a metamodel of our report definitions within our central metadata repository. We know how to "harvest" SSRS reports since they are XML. IS there any easy way to do the same for Crystal Reports. We're interested in getting to anything CR understands about the report (similar in concept to the SSRS RDL Model)
TIA, Paolo

An RPT file is a report or output file created by Crystal Reports, a program used for business-oriented reporting. It can store data from multiple sources and different types of databases. RPT files may be interactive, giving users capabilities such as live filtering and sorting.
Text-based RPT files can be opened with any text editor, like the Notepad program built-in to Windows. The free Notepad++ tool is another option, and there are plenty of others that work in a similar fashion.
rpt files with Crystal Report as the default application. When right-click the . rpt file have 2 options, Microsoft Visual Studio Version Selector, and Choose Program. When I select Choose Program, then click the Browse button, Crystal Reports is not available as one of the programs to choose.
The Standard and Professional editions were discontinued with the release of SAP Crystal Reports 2008. SAP Crystal Reports Xi Developer edition remains available and does everything that Standard and Pro could do - and more.
You can get a report definition text file if you export the crystal report as...you guessed it "Report Definition(TXT)" It has the crystal version and lots of info for each section such as datafields, formatting, etc...
