Report Builder & Threading

edited September 2003 in Server
Hello!

Is Report Builder threadsafe? We want to be able to generate 2 reports,
each report on its own thread, outputting to different archive files

Cheers

    ReportBuilder 7 is thread-safe. (Prior RB versions are not).

    ReportBuilder Server is multi-threaded.

    ReportBuilder 7.02 added a background printing feature that can enables
    reports to be generated a background.

    When generating reports in threads, you must provide a thread-safe
    environment in which the report can execute. This primarily applies to
    providing a thread-safe database connection. For more details see the
    topic on BackgroundPrintSettings in the RBuilder.hlp. If you are using
    RB Server Edition, check out the tutorials in the RBServer\Developers
    Guide\RBServer.pdf and the demos.
