LoadTemplate problem

edited November 2003 in General
Hi all!

We are using D5 with RB 7.02 (with ppDbPipe patch) and DOA 4.0
We have this problem:
if you create a new report with report explorer (saving into db)
then you close and try to re-open it, you got an error
"stream read error" or something like
"property ppReport2.[some property] does not exist"
Note that ppReport2 actually doesn't exist (the real one is namend
ppReport1)
Any tips or help will be very appreciated!

BTW Is it possible (and easy -)) to compile rb with debug info?
Which package should be re-compiled? Just in the case we have
to trace it... (hope this will be not necessary...)

Thanks in advance
Bye
Nicola

    Hi Nicola,

    This is not a known issue with ReportBuilder using DOA. Are you able to
    recreate these errors using our End-User DOA demo? Be sure you have created
    all the tables correctly according to the CreateTables.sql file given in the
    Oracle folder.

    There is no need to recompile the RB packages to debug our code. You can
    simply point your library path at the \RBuilder\Source\... directory and
    trace into our source from there.

    The only difference I see between item table in CreateTables.sql and
    the our version is the TEMPLATE field, which is a CLOB in our case.
    This was the reason for the patch we applied several days ago (rb
    did not like CLOB instead of LONG)
    Trying the end user doa demo will take some time to change the table
    names, which
    we had all customized to follow our database-naming-schema convention.
    But I'll try tomorrow

    Hi Nico

    I can reproduce this................
    and even you, I think...............
    Simply take your EndUserDOA demo, and substitute LONG template
    column with a CLOB and you'll see....

    Excuse me for the additional post but...
    Is the report definition in binary form?
    If so I have to try BLOB not CLOB column!

    Hi Nico

    With BLOB column it works!
    I should had see that at the very beginning!
    Sorry for the waste of time!
