The only to install the demos is to install RBServer.

Make a backup of anything in ..\RBServer and ..\RBuilder that you may

ReportBuilder 7 is thread-safe. (Prior RB versions are not).

ReportBuilder Server is multi-threaded.

ReportBuilder 7.02 added a background printing feature that can enables
reports to be generated a background.

From your description I assume that on the WebTier you are using custom
search pages rather than the built-in autosearch html form support.

Try using the Report.Parameters to save this additional metadata.

For each …

Forgive me for saying this, but this is not similar. This thread is focused
on archived reports. Your question is focused on live reports. These are two
very very different animals.

You should be using ReportParameters. SessionParameters should be specified
only when the user logs on. After that they are just passed around (i..e
ReadOnly).

Use of Session and Report Parameters is covered in the Custom …

Try using the ReportVolume.BeforePublishReport event. The aEventParams
object provides access to the ReportParameters, SessionParameters, the
ReportModule, and the Report. In the case of archives, the
aEventParams.Report is an A…

Not sure I understand what you are trying to accomplish. Are you trying to
use Archives or Live reports?

An archive file contains all of the pages originally generated by a live
report. There is no database or query.

in Question about scalability Comment by nardmoseley October 2003

Do not know whether this is possible or not. I researched the source code
and you can try the following.

Use the TrsWebTier.BeforeProcessRequest event. This event is passed an
aRequest parameter that you will need to typec…

Either raise EReportBuilderError, one its descendants, or create your own
descendants. The the exception will be passed to the client and raised
there. And the server will only kill the request - there will not be a fatal
error.…

We are not aware of any issues.

in Setting up webtier in Window Server 2003 Comment by nardmoseley October 2003

Use of rsISAPThreadPool is optional, though I do recommend it highly for
performance.

1. If you modify the interface section of any of the Delphi units then any
units that 'use' that unit will not be compatible -they will …

I successfully tested this by modifying the
RBServer\Demos\Servers\VolumeTypes\Reports in Files as shown below. I traced
the source code and the SQL was assigned to the TQuery object and the
pipelines were opened. (You need to u…

in Manually activating data views Comment by nardmoseley October 2003

I performed more tests, using the report server app that you sent. This app
contains a ReportVolume.BeforePublishReport event that loops and sleeps 1000
times to create a delay.
