Where to put a PBL file?

Joe Petrowski
$organization

Hello,

I received an Infomaker custom utility report from another organization and looking to add it into our system. I am doing this within Test since I am by no means a database guru. I understand where to upload the sql file as well as the xml file. However, I am stumped where to upload the pbl file.

I THINK I see the location of where I need to add to the existing pbl file. I have access to filemover and see where the Local Library List file is (\\kriostess\pub\NYUN\LIVE\User Reports\NYUN_Custom.pbl), but do not know how to add the file to the existing one (NYUN_Custom) (if that is what I even need to do). Does anyone have any simple fixes for me to get this report up and running? Aka where do I upload the PBL file?

I do not have an in house database person and our funds are limited so hoping to complete this task on my own with some pf your guidance! I appreciate any help or insight.

Thanks,

Joe

    Hi Joe,

    This is pretty easy:

    1. drop the .PBL file you've received in the same directory as you custom and custom_fmt PBls.  This isn't strictly necessary but makes life simpler.
    2. in IM set this new PBL as your working library
    3. right click on the report object and select copy - this opens up a standard Windows Explorer dialogue box where you can select your custom.pbl to copy the report into

    Hope this works for you!
