Report Builder - Not using rbstart.pf file
Some customers are experiencing problems using the rbstart.pf to
pass certain parameters needed for Report Builder or Report Engine.
In the Progress.ini file there is a section called
[RBStartup] where you can put the RBSTARTUP environment variable that
contains the name of the rbstart.pf file.
Example:
[RBstartup]
RBSTARTUP = C:\WORK\rbstart.pf
When rbstart.pf is in the DLC directory Report Builder reads it all
the time. If RBSTARTUP is specified in the progress.ini file it may
not work because Report builder/engine may not be reading the
progress.ini file for it's setting. It may be reading the registry,
see pg. 15-5 System Admin guide.
If it is reading the registry a new key will have to be added in
the registry.
To do this you run regedit:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
SOFTWARE
PSC
PROGRESS
8.3A (or the version you are working on) - While this is
highlighted, go to Menu
Edit -> New -> Key and enter RBStartup
Select RBStartup, go to Menu
Edit -> New -> String Value and enter RBSTARTUP
Double Click on RBSTARTUP and enter the directory and filename
for the rbstart.pf file.
