  • 1. Have you worked thru the tutorials in the Developers Guide and examined
    the demos such as the RBServer\Demos\Servers\Explorer Databases\Interbase.

    2. From your description it sounds like you have the Database connection

  • Use rsReportExplorerVolume.BeforePublish event.

    You can access the parameters using the aEventParams object that is passed
    to the event. To modify the SQL, you need to extract the TdaSQL object. Here
    is an example of modif…

  • If Grid pack and Waler work together in a standard RB application then they
    should work properly in an RB server application as well. Waler definitely
    works in a server application. And the Grid pack should work properly as

  • As a test, comment out all event-handler code associated with the report.
    Make sure that you do not have any event-handler code that manipulates the
    dataset in any manner while the report is generating.

    If you still have i…


  • I think if you run the report in a standard application you will see the
    same behavior. This is not related to the server.

    You need to use the TppVariable component and its OnCalc event to perform
    all calculations. C…


  • 1. I provide you a downloadable example that shows how to extract the TdaSQL
    object and modify it. The example is focused on showing how to do just that.
    The example can be adapted for any report - stand alone or server.

  • Based on your description I think you want to use SessionParameters to
    capture the user login information and then apply that information to the
    report query.

  • A server application can only listen to a single port.

    A server can contain multiple report volumes. Perhaps you can define a
    separate ReportVolume on the server side that corresponds to each web site.

  • Thanks for your interest in ReportBuilder Server.

    You are encountering a limitation of the trial version. The trial version is
    limited to viewing reports from LocalHost only. It does not permit remote
    machines to view repo…

  • I just tried the following:

    1. Compile the RBServer\Demos\Servers\Main\rbServer.dpr application and got
    it running within the context of ReportBuilder Services.

  • You might search the web and google groups to determine whether you can get
    a temporary certificate that can be used for testing.

    What is the goal of the test?

    There is not much difference in use HTTP and using HTTPS…

  • This is a tough one for me to diagnose. There has to be a difference between
    what is running at the other customer sites and what is running at this
    particular site.

    We have had no other reports from customers of any issue…

  • Do you get a page not found error? or just empy pages.

    An empty page would indicate that no report volumes are registered with the
    server. Check the report server application.

    An empty explorer with two page not foun…

  • Ok, post again here later. This is not an issue that anyone else has
    reported. We are going to need a way to recreate the issue here.

  • Please modify one the simple examples installed to RBServer\Demos\WebTier so
    that it uses the TidHTTPWebBrokerBridge and demonstrates the issue. Send in
    zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com and we can check it out here.

    standard WebBroker application?

  • 1. The ReportVolume components are capable of dynamically discovering new
    report templates and archives. Thus if you save your reports to .rtm files
    or to the report explorer database tables, then new reports can be added by
    sav…

  • You need to add DADE support to your Report Server application. See the
    following article...

  • This sounds like a timing issue that we discovered recently. It is possible
    for the WebTier methods to be called before the WebTier has initialized
    itself. There is a patch available for RB 7.04. I just emailed you the
    patch.

  • Thanks for the feedback. You are correct, there is currently no way to
    internactively monitor server or webtier activity.

    There is a Server log file and there is a WebTier log file. In the case of
    the webtier there is a Lo…

  • This message has been handled in the general newsgroup. Please do not cross
    post messages.

    The focus of this server newsgroup is questions about building report server
    solutions using ReportBuilder Server Edition.

  • I created an example windows service application that includes rsServer. I
    had not tried this before, but it is extremely simple to implement. Though
    not as fancy as ReportBuilder Services, it does the job quite nicely. in Multiple Servers ad a Service Comment by nardmoseley December 2004

  • The following example shows how to write custom messages to the server log.

  • It is my understanding that Datasets are not thread-safe.

    One solution would be to convert to .rtm files.

    You can try editing the html that is returned to the browser. See the
