Saving tgemplates to a database file

rbuser

I have been away from the project for some time but a customer asked me to
modify a report that we is accessed via the thin client and web. I had to
add time filters.

I remember a year ago it was necessary for me to open the rtm in the report
designer and make the change (added 2 parameters) and then save it to a
database file (PDox). I am not sure why this is required. Of course, I am
able to edit the RTM and then remove the repot designer component from the
form but I am not able to update the database files. My thin client access
works properly but my web access does not. Please advise.

Are you using .rtm files or reports stored in a database? In any case, you
need to use RB Enterprise to load/edit/save the report definitions.

The ReportVolumes used by the server can use either .rtm files or reports
stored in a database.

The thin client and WebTier both access reports that are generated by the
server. There should not be a difference.

Perhaps try shutting the server and webtier apps down and then restarting
them. The server, client, and webtier all use caching to optimize
performance.
