  • You are really asking an HTML/HTTP question. HTTP supports types of
    requests, HTTP Get and HTTP Post.

    1. Here is an example of a Get

    in Passing huge string parameters through WebTier app Comment by nardmoseley May 2004

  • You need to use an HTTP Post method rather than a Get method. A Get method
    has a length limitation, but a Post does not.

    Typically a Post method is used to submit a form.

    The WebTier's AutoSearch forms use a Post. He…

  • In my testing here I cannot reproduce any issue. My test is to run the main
    demo server (RBServer\Demos\Servers\01. Main), the demo WebTier ISAPI
    project (RBServer\Demos\Web Tier\ISAPI), and the main client explorer demo
    (\RBSer…

  • We have recreated the issue here and are researching it...

  • There can be only one report server .exe registered at a time. You must
    include rsServerActiveX in the uses clause of the server .exe. This enables
    the server .exe to be registered as a COM application.

    There are two ways …

  • There is one patch available for RB 7.03 Server. It corrects an issue with
    the server treating an ESocketError as a fatal error. Send a request to
    support@digital-metaphors.com for the patch.

    Our demo server never crashes,…

  • That simply means that the socket connection timed out. See my response to
    your prior post.

    If you are debugging you will almost always receive this exception because
    the client times out waiting for the server response an…

  • Thanks for your interest in ReportBuilder.

    1. The overall feature set is quite comparable. ReportBuilder is superior to
    Crystal Reports in that is a native Delphi object class library that can be
    tightly integrated into De…

  • We have not yet performed any tests with the TeeChart 7.01 beta.

    If you try testing with TeeChart 7.01, please post the results here.

    in Crash Server 7.04 Build 2 Comment by nardmoseley September 2004

  • There is a known issue with TeeChart using certain types of series, for
    example a function series that references another series. TeeChart does not
    properly manage object references. This results in exceptions/AV's occurring
    in …

  • Its frustrating I realize that. We have many customers using ADO and SQL
    Server successfully to build report servers. If you think you have a bug in
    ADO, then try creating an example that uses ADO and MS Access data. You can
    use…

  • The call stack is not really very helpful.

    We really need an example that we can run. Or if you can duplicate the issue
    with our demo apps.

    For debuggins, one option is to run the report server as a Delphi
    appli…

  • For anyone following this thread, Larry now has the WebTier working
    properly!

    The problem was the WebTier configuration settings for WebCachePath and
    WebModuleURI. Here is example, taken from the online help, of what these…

  • Thanks for the feedback, it is appreciated...

    We'll look at adding some clarifications for the next release.

  • Please zip up your WebTier project and zip up the Cache Directory, including
    all of its subdirectories and files and send them to
    support@digital-metaphors.com.

    For future reference, please send attachments to
    support…

  • Larry, sorry if you are frustrated. Sounds like you are very close to having
    a fully functional WebTier.

    I am assuming that you have an empty frameset displayed in the web browser
    and that the ListView and TreeView html pa…

  • Use your web browser to to display the page with the empty frames. Then
    perform a
    a View | Source on the FrameSet. Find the URL's related to TreeView.htm and
    ListView.htm. These are generated by the RB WebTier and should corresp…

  • Try following the ReadMe.doc information and the example installed to
    RBServer\Demos\WebTier\Apache. As explained in the ReadMe you need to use
    WebBroker to create an Apache shared module.

  • That indicates the you have some RAP code in the Global OnCreate event of
    the report that is encountering a run-time error. Try commenting out that
    code to see if the error goes away. Then try to determine what is the cause
    of t…

  • Check out the RBServer Custom Parameters demos. There are Server,
    ClientReport, and WebTier custom parameter demos. The demos work together.
    Each demo contains a ReadMe.doc and commented code. I think will give some
    ideas of how…

  • 1. Check the WebTier.LogSettings and that you have abialble disk space on
    the machine.

    2. Make sure that you are not running two instances of the webtier on the
    machine that are trying to write to the same log. For exampl…

  • I researched this and have created a patch file for RB 7.04. The error was
    caused by the WebTier not initializing itself properly, prior to some
    methods such as GetReportParameters and GetSessionForRequest being called.

    Re…

  • 1. The WebTier cannot be used to implement a CGI application.

    The WebTier is designed to support ISAPI, ASP, or Apache Shared Modules.
    Examples are installed to RBServer\Demos\WebTier. Each example includes a
    ReadMe.doc. T…

  • Ok, glad to hear you have the report working.

    FYI, the Server Trial Edition installs a trial version of RB Enterprise -
    that is the only version of RB Enterprise that it will work with. It will
    not work with the RB Enterpr…

  • Ok, now I understand why you cannot compile.

    ReportBuilder Server Trial Edition installs two trial products: RB Server
    Trial and RB Enterprise Trial. Neither of these contain any source code.

    If you have RB Source co…

  • What version of Delphi are you using? What version of ReportBuilder - RB
    7.04 is the latest.

    On my tech support machine, I have RB 7.04 Server Edition for D6 and D7 and
    can compile with the RBuilder\Source in the library p…

  • That error indicates that the interface section of the source unit has been
    modified. If you modify the interface section of any units that are 'used'
    by the server units, then the server .dcu's will no longer be valid.

    If…

  • This error indicates that the server is trying to load the specified report,
    but cannot find the record in the dataset.

    Sounds like the logic that reads the rbItems and rbFolders table is able to
    properly build the directo…

  • 1. TrsSessionGarbageCollector executes as a low priority background thread
    that loops infinitely sleeping a second at a time and then cleaning up
    sessions that have timed out. It is not related to the server not
    responding.

  • 1. Does the database support multiple connections?

    2. For the purposes of testing. Try running the RBServer\Demos\Servers\
    Explorer Databases\Interbase example that uses IBExpress. And run the
    RBServer\Demos\Clients\Client…
