There is one Input and one Output File Repository Server in every Crystal Enterprise implementation. The Input File Repository Server contains all of the report objects that have been published to the system by administrators or end users (using the Crystal Publishing Wizard, the Crystal Management Console, the Crystal Import Wizard, or a Crystal designer component such as Crystal Reports). The Output File Repository Server contains all of the report instances generated by the Job Server(s).
Tip: If you use the Crystal Enterprise SDK, you can also publish reports from within your own code.
The File Repository Servers are responsible for listing files on the server, querying for the size of a file, querying for the size of the entire file repository, adding files to the repository, and removing files from the repository.
Note: The Input and Output File Repository Servers cannot share the same directories. This is because one of the File Repository Servers could then delete files and directories belonging to the other.
