[RBG7-L] - RE: transferring reports

[ttc . inc]

Thanks Dawn and Javier for the quick replies.

 

Another example of how easy you can accomplish things in Rbase!

(I just need to improve my memory so I can remember all the great

functions!)

 

My report transferred and was running in the new database in less than a

minute!  Terrific!

Thanks again.

This is the easiest way to copy one report at a time.

Go to the R:Base Data Explorer and select Reports, highlight the report you want to backup, right click and select unload from the pop-up window, select the directory where you want the report stored, likely the directory where your second database resides. This approach will create 2 file one is your_report_name.rpt and the other is your_report_name.LOB.

Connect to the second database, select Command Files and highlight the file your_report_name.rpt, right click and select run from the pop-up window; the report will load into the new database.

Javier,

I apologize in advance as I know this has been answered before.  However, it appears I did not save this particular thread!

I want to copy a report from one database to another. (Both are 7.1)  I tried

Unload Data for Sys_Reports3 where Sys_Report_Name = reportname

The output did not contain the report data, just the character settings.

Would someone please be so kind to refresh my memory on this method.

Thanks in advance.
