Opening reporter with Builder

building reports desktopintelligence
#1

Hello boys,

my problem is that i want to open Reporter throught another software that i am creating with C++Builder.
I found how to do this with :

WinExec("C:\\BO\\bin\\busobj.exe",SW_MAXIMIZE);

But now I would like to specify the user and the password in order to launch the reporter! Do you know how to specify those parameters?

Thanks
Steve

...\busobj.exe -user userid -pass password

There are many other command line options described in the appendix of the User Guide.

Steve – do you only want the male half of the board to review your questions? :roll_eyes:

Thank you very much that’s perfect but i can’t find this in the User Guide :oops:

I’ve got one last question, is it possible to specify the universe i want to connect to? I would like to connect directly the universe of my software and not the other ones.

Once again
Thanks Dwayne :+1:

It’s detailed in the appendix of both the v5.1 and v6.5 user guides (probably the same in v6.1) … Launching BusinessObjects with the Run Command.

And specify the universe? No, because the application doesn’t connect to a universe. Specific data providers within a document use a universe. It is possible to specify a repository (security domain) however. Use the -keyfile parameter.

...\busobj.exe -user userid -pass password -keyfile BOMain

We girls somehow managed to supply with the answer to most of the FAQ’s accurately and that was mostly while breastfeeding an infant, cooking dinner, and searching for our shoes (oh why am I always barefoot?) HRMPH! :yesnod:. :wink:

Ok, so that’s one hand for typing, one hand for cooking…

I really don’t want to know how the infant’s staying on :shock:

Slightly more to the point, try looking in BusinessObjects50en.pdf if you’re using v5. I can’t find the v6 document at the moment…
