Load Definition Command

Use the Load Definition command from the File menu to load report and template definitions from a flat file backup file or a transfer file. The Load Definition and Unload Definition commands provide a transfer and backup utility for reports created by using the JADE Report Writer Designer application.

To load report and report template definitions from a flat file

1. Select the Load Definition command from the File menu.

   The Open Report Load File dialog, shown in the following image, is then displayed.

   

2. Enter the full location and name for your .rwr flat file in the File Name text box or click the Browse button to display a common dialog in which you can select your extract file location and name.

3. Click the Open button. (Alternatively, click the Close button to abandon the load process.)

If the selected file contains report definitions that are not in error, the Selective Load sheet is then displayed.

Conversely, if all report definitions in the selected file are in error, the Report Errors sheet is displayed.

This sheet states that all report definitions in the file are in error and none can therefore be loaded. In addition, it lists each of the report definitions in error and the error (for example, a specified view is not defined for a specified report.)

Click the Close button and perform the appropriate actions to correct the error or errors before retrying the load definition operation.
