Pipeline for new report created from ReportExplorer

rbuser

Hi,

I'm fiddling with the Demoproject Enduser databases\NexusDB and trying to
get this to work on a nexus database with the data to report on.
I'v got the datadictionary correctly filled with metadata, linked the Buildersettings

to the actual data database, linked the datasettings from the designer-component

to the actual data database, and i have a reference from the designer to
the data-dictionary, and it all starts.

When i try to create a new report from the report explorer, it does so very
nicely, but the report doesnt contain any datapipelines!! So that is pretty
useless i would think.

What am i doing wrong??? How and where does the ReportExplorer or Datadictionary
transfers its meta-information about the database to the report-designer?

Hi Bas,

The Data Dictionary does not actually create the datapipelines for you, it
simply controls how the database components, joins, etc. are shown in the
data workspace (DADE) and designer. Now that you have the dictionary all
set up, you will need to use the data workspace by clicking over to the
"Data" tab at the top of the designer and create the dataviews
(datapipelines) as you need them for each report.

Take a look at the main end-user demo (\Demos\3. EndUser\1. Report
Explorer\...) for how this should be done.

Hello Nico,

well thank you very much for clearing this up! I'v been searching for hours
on how to create pipelines in the designer, and it never crossed my mind
that the data tab had its own menus ...duh!!!!

gladly the weekend is starting very soon
