How to use datadictionary reports with rServer?

rbuser

Hi,

In my application with RBuilder enterprise, I used the ppDataDictionary
with the ppIBOPipeline.

Over the thinclient, I can access to the reportexplorer and open report
without databindings.

If I access now to a report with ppDataDictionary access, I got the
error: "DatabaseName Should be not empty".

How can I access with RServer to these Reports?

How can I use this powerful option of rBuilder Enterprise also with rServer?

The DataDictionary is only used when creating a new SQL DataView. The Query
tools use the data dictionary to display the available table aliases and
field aliases. Once the SQL DataView is created, it no longer needs the data
dictionary.

The SQL DataView does however need access to a thread safe database
connection object. I think the error you are receiving is perhaps related to
that.

When you create a SQL DataView, the Designer.DataSettings properties such as
DatabaseName are applied to the DataView's TdaSQL object and saved as part
of the query definition.

When the report is loaded within the context of the ReportVolume module that
you create for the server, there needs to be a database connection object
with the same name that was saved with the report.

For an example see
