Compile Reports (ttadv3240m000)

Use this session to compile a range of reports.

Field Information

Compile

One source of a report can have objects in multiple VRCs. Example: the report tdsls421101000 in VRC B61 a can have an object in td B61 a, in td B61U a stnd and in td B61O a cust. The td B61U a stnd and td B61O a cust VRCs are derived from td B61 a.

You may have an object compiled from a report of a previous VRC, because includes (functions) or labels used by that report may change in the derived VRC.

Only reports in new VRC

LN compiles only reports in the selected VRC to objects in the same VRC.

Example: You specify to compile the reports of VRC td B61O a cust. LN only compiles the reports in td B61O a cust to objects in td B61O a cust.

Function/label in new VRC

LN compiles the following reports to objects in the selected VRC:

  • Reports in the selected VRC.
  • Reports of previous VRCs, which contain labels and/or includes (functions) that have been changed in the selected VRC. See the following example.

Example:

The td B61O a cust VRC is derived from td B61U a stnd, which is derived from td B61 a. The report tdsls421101000 in VRC td B61 a has a label XXXX that is changed in td B61O a cust.

You specify to compile the reports of VRC td B61O a cust. LN compiles the tdsls421101000 report in td B61 a to a report object in td B61O a cust.

All reports

LN compiles all reports of the previous VRCs, even if labels and includes (functions) are not changed. You can use this option to increase the performance of the system. All the objects are present at the first level, so the bshell will always find the object immediately. You can also use this option when the data type of a domain has changed. The data type of a domain is also compiled into the object. When the data type of domain changes in a new VRC, you must compile all reports (also those of previous VRCs) as well.

Multi level

If this check box is selected, the reports in the VRC's that are derived to the level of the VRC filled in the VRC Depth fields are compiled as well.
