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

    A less elegant way of doing it is using the fact that you can reference multiple PBLs for Custom Reports.

    • Copy your new PBL to the same folder as your existing one.
    • In Tessitura go to System Tables / T_Defaults and type local in the table search box
    • You should see LOCAL_LIBRARY_LIST which as default value should show the reference to your current PBL
    • As this is comma delimited add a comma and the filepath for your new PBL
      The reason to put it in same directory is that you can copy the path for the NYUN_Custom.pbl and then just change NYUN_Custom.pbl to the new filename.
    • Save the table changes
      You will need to relogin for the client to load the new PBL

    Hope that helps

    Thanks Mark. I added the additional file path into the table and it looks like this "\\kriostess\pub\NYUN\TEST\User Reports\NYUN_Custom.pbl, \\kriostess\pub\NYUN\TEST\User Reports\ld_update_schedule_email.pbl" Does it matter if there is a space? 

    As reference, this is the error I am receiving: www.screencast.com/.../sgy3dVuerGO

    Joe,  I think you need to included the \\kriostess\pub\NYUN\TEST in the name of the new report you added to the library.  That is if that is the folder you copied it to.
