Copying Reports to Other Databases

This page describes copying a Report Generator report definition to another Company or database.

---

Designing a report in a test database can be a good idea. As you construct the report and test it, running it if it contains a programming error may cause Standard ERP to crash, which carries the risk of losing data or of interrupting the work of other users. When you have finished and tested a report, you can easily copy it to your main database. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the 'Report Definitions: Browse' window.

  2. Highlight the finished report (or several finished reports).

  3. Choose 'Export' from the Operations menu.

  4. Name the export file and specify where it is to be saved.

  5. Change to your main database and import the file in the usual way using the 'Automatic' or 'Automatic manual file search' import routines in the System module.
If any of the new reports have a Report Code that is already being used in your main database, the new report will not be imported. To avoid this issue, copy the report definition in the test database and use a new Report Code before exporting.

Please refer here for details about making a Report Generator report available to other modules and controlling access to it using Access Groups.
