  • From IIS Manager, select the rbWebPub virtual directory. From the Features
    View, select Handler Mappings and double-click. Next, select the row for

  • From IIS Manager, select the rbWebPub virtual directory. Select Content
    View. Select the report.dll and press the right mouse button, then select
    Edit Permissions. Make sure users have full control (read, execute, etc.).

  • The purpose of the rbWiki 'How To...Deploy to IIS7' is to serve as a
    tutorial for deploying to IIS7.

    I have the WebTier ISAPI demo deployed to IIS7 on Windows 7 here and also on
    Vista - both are 32-bit.

  • 1. They could generate the report to PDF and then print the PDF. That way
    they have a copy.

    2. If they are using the Report or ClientReport you could write some code to
    generate the report to archive or pdf each time they prin…
  • I recommend using the same RB version to build the server, webtier, and
    client. We don't test or make any attempt to support using different
    versions.

  • Delphi's WebBroker for an ISAPI module will create an instance of the
    WebModule for each web request that is received.

    Yes, you can put a TADOConnection on the webmodule. But realize that
    multiple instances of the webmod…

  • The Custom Parameters demos show how to do custom processing on the WebTier.

  • Please configure your news reader to post using your full name.

    One solution would be to configure the z-order such that the stretching
    region generates before the static region. Then implement the
    OnDrawCommandCreate ev…

  • I performed a simple test here. I added your code to the
    Demos\WebTier\WebDebug example. I did not encounter any issues. I made a
    couple of slight changes to what you posted, I hard coded a file name and I
    hard coded a respon…

  • The method processConfirmationPDFRequest needs to generate an html response
    which will be returned to the browser. That is why the browser is left
    hanging.

    RB 12 introduced support for sending report email from the web b…

  • There are no known issues with the ini file feature.

    Here is some simple test code you can try from the WebTier.OnCreate event.
    This code simulates what the webtier is doing. (The WebTier is reading up
    all the values fro…
  • The WebTier ini-file is read just after the OnCreate event fires. It is only
    read when IniSettings.Enabled is True and the file exists. The IIS process
    that loads the ISAPI dll will need security access rights to read the file.

  • For tech support request please also specify full environment info including
    Window version, Delphi version, RB Edition and RB version, database engine,
    data access components, printer. For Server apps helps to know more details

  • The ppAutoSearchDialog refers to the AutoSearchDialog that is displayed by
    the Report and ClientReport. For a WebTier application, it should never be
    created.

    A good debugging technique is to create the simplest report and the…


  • On my computer:
    1. I use the webtier as shown in previous mail "Webtier hang". When i run a
    report with no parameters it works well with preview or without
    preview generating a pdf.


    I don't understand. Are…


  • Try a simple test using a ClientReport object to run the same report. Does
    that work?

    Try running the report server application under the Delphi debugger. If an
    error occurs examine the call stack.

    Try r…
  • Peter,

    The latest versions of Delphi officially dropped support for Apache. I think
    the issue is that Apache was constantly changing their interfaces. If you
    have not done so already, as a first step I recommend trying to crea…

  • The custom parameter demos shows how to do this. You basically retrieve the
    parameters from the server, show an html form, and then when the form is
    submitted you use the values to generate the report.

  • When the WebTier processes a request, it will also check whether sessions
    have timed out and remove the corresponding folder of the timed out
    session(s).

  • We do not have any experience with windows gadgets. The rbWebTier can
    publish reports for preview in a web browser. There is not a special compact
    or windows gadget web previewer.

    Here is an rbWiki article that shows how you c…
  • The Subreport.ShiftRelativeTo property is a published property. I don't
    know what you mean when you say cannot set the property. Note that
    Subreports set to pbSection cannot have a ShiftRelativeTo relationship.

  • For the first request a new session will be created, this will generate a
    SessionID. To optimize performance the WebTier and the Server both use
    caching.

    Open the Demos\WebTier\Custom Parameters example and review the co…

  • The TrsServer.LogSettings.Location property specifies the location of the
    server log files, the default value is ($Application)\LogFiles which
    resolves to a LogFiles folder in the application directory. The names of the
    files…
  • EReportBuidlerError exceptions should not cause the server to hang. They are
    handled exceptions that are logged, but that is all.

  • Try using the DBDemos data included with Delphi to define a simple .rtm file
    that demonstrates the error. Send in zip format to support@ and I can test
    it here in the debugger.

  • Here is a link to an rbWiki article that provides detail on how to execute
    specific reports on the WebTier and provide new autosearch parameters etc.

  • RB 14 includes native export to XLS, RTF/DOC, Image formats, etc as well as
    enhanced PDF. Going forward hope you will be upgrading.

    Here is a link to an rbWiki article that references an example for adding
    export formats…
  • If you are getting the folders and not the items, then the issue is going to
    be with the ItemPipeline. Check that the connection chain (DBPipeline -->
    TDataSource --> TDataSet) is correct and that the ReportExplorerVolume
