SimpleSi Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Anything obvious/simple that stops a workstation from importing rptdef files into SIMS (held on another machine via s drive) when 2 others do the same rptdef file OK? Si
LosOjos Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Maybe SIMS permissions? Or is it the same login? Aside from that my biggest question is why you want to import it from multiple machines? Once you import a RptDef, it should become a publicly available report in SIMS anyway... EDIT: just to clarify, by publicly available I mean that once a RptDef has been imported once (on any machine), it will be available via "Reports > Run Report" for all users, so shouldn't need importing again Edited June 25, 2012 by LosOjos
vikpaw Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 what he said ^ , plus is there any indicator of what's gone wrong? error message / code?
SimpleSi Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 I know its a common system Just wandered why I couldn't import on one particular machine - its says the rptdef file isn't valid This was using same login as bursar normally uses on her machine Just wondered if it was a common/easy to fix issue When it happened, the sec on that machine said - oh - its always done that so I was just looking for a reason Si Si
vikpaw Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 weird, i wonder if it opens it locally and / or changes something that requires local access that the sec doesn't have..? was it same pc login and same sims login?
SimpleSi Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 was it same pc login and same sims login? Not same pc login - I'll check to see if that user has big rights on the bursars machine (its just a peer-peer setup) - ta Si
