GOAL:
How does the the Report Builder paramter, -rbtable, work with non-Progress databases?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.3B
FIX:
This solution applies to Report Builder Table interface 8.3B and above
It discuss how to bypass having the Report Engine table in the first database connected.
It is documented in Report Builder Deployment Guide page 4-12 (last paragraph about -rbtable parameter): "(...) If you connect to more than one database on this command line, it looks for this table in the first database specified".
When the database is non Progress (i.e. AS/400 or Oracle), the first database is always the schema holder, so it means that the RBREPORT table has to be in the schema holder or in a separate Progress database, but it can not be in the foreign one.
In order to bypass this restriction, a new command line parameter has been created to allow you to specify which database contains the RBREPORT table (or whatever table is specified with the -rbtable parameter). The new parameter is:
-rbtabledb db-name (where db-name is the name of the database which contains the RBREPORT).
