1197001 - How to view an RPT file based on a universe using the Report Designer Component

How do I view an RPT file based on a universe using the Report Designer Component (RDC)?

It is desired to view a Crystal Reports document based on a universe using the RDC in a customized application.

This is a known limitation of the RDC. The RDC does not have any functionality to connect to Enterprise to access a universe.

To workaround the behavior, access the universe using Query as a Web Service. Report from it as an XML source since the RDC can refresh XML data sources.
