-P ignored Report Engine RB-DB-CONNECTION, prompts password
The RB-DB-CONNECTION parameter for the Report Engine won't
pass the -P password if you don't explicitly specify -db
in front of the database name. Since it didn't receive
the password information, you will be prompted for the
password, even though you have tried to pass it in the 4GL.
The reason for this is that Report Builder expects the -db
parameter to precede the database name. It is not
optional like it is on the command line. After
encountering any part of the connect string that Report
Builder doesn't understand, it will stop trying to parse
the string and ignore any subsequent legitimate
parameters. This is why it ignores the -U and -P options.
workaround:
Always include -db before the database name, rather than
just listing the database name first in the connect string
without the preceding -db.
