Use a global user to run reports across the enterprise - jasperserver

I have the following doubt, how recommendable it is to use a global user so that all the people in the company execute a report, I ask this because I am using rest_v2 and JasperReports Server 8.0.0 to generate reports, the problem is in the logoff, since although only run the report the user remains in session until his session on the server expires, so it occurred to me to keep a single user in session 24/7 and that with that user everyone executes their reports, this is a good or bad practice ?

Database login prompt when opening SAP Crystal Reports

This is nothing to do with coding. Every time I open SAP Crystal Reports application, it will prompt database login window. How to avoid the prompting of database login?
I knew that there are some similar questions to this one, but all related to coding. Can it be done without coding? Or is there a setting to avoid this in the application?
Whenever you open Crystal Reports you need to re-connect to your data-sources and will be prompted for login credentials if required.

How do I get Citrix Xendesktop to treat every client login as a unique Windows session?

I work at a moderately sized company and we currently have Citrix Xendesktop 7 tied in with our AD and domain. We have 25 clients we're having employees test right now via the Web Storefront.
Everyone can log in with their domain credentials fine enough, but the image treats every session as if it is a brand new Windows session whenever they first log in for the day (First-time user prompts for Adobe Acrobat, Word Processor, no initial file associations, etc).
Besides having everyone log directly into the main desktop image to save their profile, how would I go about configuring the applications so they don't treat everyone as a brand new user during each session? (I remember someone saying this could be accomplished through the registry settings but I couldn't pull the thread back up for reference).
I'd suggest Citrix UPM and use group policy for folder redirection. You may just need to configure the settings for your environment. You can then have mandatory or unique profiles set.

How to disable the SAP copyright popup for users logging on for the first time?

I'm load-testing SAP ERP(on hana) with rational performance tester.
As the copyright popup after the first SAP logon interferes with my test runs (1000 sap test-users of type service), I have to disable the notification for all these users, or system-wide.
I tried to set the last logon date from a default to a valid date but somehow the system still knows that its the user's first logon. How can I disable the notification?
I found out that it is not possible to disable the copyright notifications on first logon or logon with a new language.
However, the problem i was facing can be handled by recording a RPT test, where you only press the continue button of the copyright notification after the logon and then close the session (stop recording). Then you substitute the logon username with a datapool of all users you want to use and run the test against the system with the proper amount of virtual users. As long as you don't change the language every user should be free from the copyright popup in the future.

Not allowing to Create New Subscription in ssrs 2008r2

I am trying to add New Subscription IN SSRS 2008 r2 but it is not allowing message is displaying that
subscription cannot be created because the credentials use to run the reports are not stored or if a linked report the link is no longer valid.
please explain where can i give the credentials
You need to set the Data Source credentials to be stored with the Data Source; a subscription is an unattended report execution so the server needs to know how to connect to the database in these situations. Set the report Data Source up like:
And you'll be able to create Subscriptions.

How to create prompts/notications to the user of an error in Windows Service app?

I am creating a Windows Service app that I would like to have programmatically tell the user that an error has occurred and give hints to the user to correct the error. I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this?
The Windows service app uses an odbc connection and datareader to connect to an MS Access database and an Oracle table, so there are the probable errors that I would be handling with those, I just want to make the user aware of them if/when they occur.
You could write details of the error to an event log or database tables and notify the user via email.
