Report Builder & Threading

rbuser

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.
