  • By default RBWinServices is installed to run under the Local System account.
    Test this base conifiguration to see whether that works.

    When RBWinServices is installed, it installs a very basic sample report
    server. When you…

  • For an example of using the WebTier within a ASP solution, check out
    RBServer\Demos\WebTier\ASP. There is ReadMe.doc that explains the example.

    The example defines a single interface called IReport that contains a single
    m…


  • This capability was added for ReportBuilder Server 7.02.

    Check out the custom parameter demos. Each demo contains a ReadMe.doc
    and commented code. The demos work together:

    RBServer\Demos\Clients\Custom Paramet…

  • Have not heard of this before.

    My guess is that for some reason when the report name information is either
    stored or read from the database, some spaces are being appended to the end
    of the data.



    --<…

  • This error indicates that the server cannot find the specified report.

    As a test try running the web report explorer to display the list of
    available reports on the server. Then hold your mouse over the report and
    look at …

  • Possibile causes:

    1. The reports were created with one version of TeeChart, but the Server
    application was compiled with a different version of TeeChart.

    2. The Server application was not compiled with TeeChart at al…

  • Not sure that I understand the question.

    If you would like to build URL's that contain parameters that should work as
    long as you write the webmodule code to process the requests, including the
    parameters.

    There…

  • 1. Make sure that the Database.Connected property is set to False, prior to
    setting the DatabaseName, UserName, and Password.

    2. The file based reports that you created should reference a data
    connection component (i.e. TD…

  • Please create a simple, minimal Delphi example using DBDemos and e-mail to
    support@digital-metaphors.com and we can take at a look at it. If the
    DBDemos data is not sufficient, create some simple Paradox tables using
    Database De…

  • Okay, now I understand the issue.

    The Report.CreateAutoSearchCriteria method is limited because is accepts the
    DataPipeline and FieldName as parameter, but the query may contain the same
    field name from 2 different tables.…

  • This is not a known issue.

    1. First step would be to get these reports working properly in a stand
    alone reporting application. I do not think this issue is related to the
    server or web tier at all.

    2. Most data…

  • The web log file is managed by the WebTier in a thread-safe manner. We have
    not had any reports of issues related to this from other developers.

    If you have an ISAPI dll and a WebDebugger app running at the same time this


  • Try testing the WebTier without that call.

    It may be that the WebTier is unable to create the Log file, see
    WebTier.LogSettings.






  • Please post questions to either the newsgroups OR
    support@digital-metaphors.com, but not both. TIA

    Check that the same SessionID is being used for each request. If a new
    session id is required, it will definitely display t…

  • Try testing with RB 7.02 and the latest ExtraDevices, which is currently
    2.6. It should work properly.

  • I searched Google looking for answers to this issue, but have not found
    anything. There are other developers using other tools to create PDFs and
    they have the same issue. Perhaps ask Pragnaan if they of a solution.
    Perhaps ther…

  • If you access the Criteria fields as shown in the example, you can perhaps
    set them to AutoSearch true/false, although timing wise I do not know
    whether this will work.

  • Search criteria created via the Data work space of the report designer can
    optionally be designated as AutoSearch criteria. By definition AutoSearch
    criteria are displayed in the AutoSearch dialog.
    I think what you are asking, i…

  • This example shows how to initialize autosearch parameters on the
    webtier:

    http://www.digital-metaphors.com/tips/rbWebAutoSearchCustom.zip…

  • Its going to work differently on the WebTier. The WebTier custom parameters
    demo shows this.

    I will try to create an example that is more focused on what you describe.

    I am not sure whether it is possible to validate…

  • This is correct. Events implemented on the server, may fire multiple times.
    They may fire once to build a report volume directory and then fire again
    when the report is accessed. Performing these activities may require
    multiple …

  • Perhaps this will help......

  • The error you are receiving indicates that either the content parameter
    is missing or there is no content provider registered for the specified
    content type.

    I just wrote the following article that explains the Cont…

  • In the WebTier custom parameters demo there is some code in the
    ProcessDefaultRequest method like this:

    if not rsWebTier1.SessionExists(aWebRequest) then
    Result := GetLoginPage(aWebRequest)


    And i…

  • Try adding the Location parameter in the Server.OnGetSessionParameters
    event. I think that will enable you to use the ValidateSessionParameters
    event to retrieve the Location parameter value from the database and assign
    it to th…

  • One option is to use the AutoSearch parameters feature. See
    RBuilder\Demos\AutoSearch. This feature is supported by RB Server. The
    other option is to use the custom Session and Report parameters that were
    added to RB 7.02.

  • Please see BServer\Demos\Web Tier\Custom Viewer for an example of how to add
    additional output formats to the WebTier. The example includes a ReadMe.doc
    and commented code. The architecture has been greatly simplified.


  • There is custom html login form that I used for the
    RBServer\Demos\WebTier\Custom Parameters example that uses

    input TYPE="PASSWORD"

    rather than

    inpu Type="TEXT"

    to implement this type of featur…

    post this type of question. :)

  • Configure the WebTier.IniSettings to load the WebTier configuration
    parameters from an .ini file. See the RBServer.hlp for details. This will
    not add the "http: prefix" and will also enable you to have use one .ini
    file for test…
