Report Configuration Parameters (Environment level)

The following parameters may be set at the Lawson Environment level in the report configuration file (rpt.cfg).

Location: %LAWDIR%\system\rpt.cfg

Parameter Description
RPTMAP_TYPE

The default is VARIABLE. This setting allows for an unlimited number of reports. The variable-size report maps are stored in individual files such as %LAWDIR%\ProductlineName\rptmap\default\XX999.rmp.

If the setting is FIXED, you are limited to 1500 reports. The single-size report maps are stored in %LAWDIR%\ProductlineName\obj\SystemCode\RptMap.

RPTMAP_TRANSITION

The default is CONVERT.

This setting means that any fixed-format files are automatically converted to a variable format the next time the report map is accessed.

Note: RPTMAP_TYPE must be VARIABLE if this parameter is set to CONVERT.

If you set this parameter to MANUAL, fixed-format files are not converted automatically.

RPT_CFG_OVRD

The default, OFF, does not override configuration settings found at the product line, system code and program levels, but provides a default when there are no settings at any other level.

Set to ON to override any configuration settings found at the product line, system code and program levels.

RUNTIME_XML_ENABLE -or- RUNTIME_XF_FILES

Setting to ON enables the runtime generation of the various file types (such as CSV, XML, PDF, RTL, and ADO) for all reports. The default for this parameter is OFF. You can override this setting at the product line, system code, and individual report program level. After you set this to ON, you can set the RUNTIME_CSV, RUNTIME_XML, RUNTIME_PDF, RUNTIME_TXT, RUNTIME_ADO, RUNTIME_CSV_TOT_GRPS, and RUNTIME_LOC_PROP parameters in order to determine which types of files are actually generated. You can set these parameters either at the global level (in rpt.cfg) or at a lower level (product line, system code, or individual report program).

You can also use the bldxffiles utility to create the various types files for report programs. See System Utility Reference Guide.

RUNTIME_CSV Setting to ON causes CSV files to be generated when any report program is run.
RUNTIME_XML Setting to ON causes XML files to be generated when any report program is run. Currently, these XML files are for internal Lawson use only.
RUNTIME_ADO Setting to ON causes a set of XML files used by the OLE DB server to be generated when any report program is run.
RUNTIME_PDF Setting to ON causes PDF files to be generated when a report program is run.
RUNTIME_TXT Setting to ON causes HTML files to be generated when a report program is run.
RUNTIME_CSV_TOT_GRPS Setting to ON means that the CSV file for a report will include total groups. If this parameter is set to OFF, then any total groups identified with the $TOTOFGRP keyword will be skipped.
RUNTIME_LOC_PROP Setting to ON means that the .prop and .grp files are created in the print directory. If this parameter is set to OFF, the global .prop and .grp files in the RptMap directory are used. In either case, .prop and .grp files are generated if they do not already exist or if their timestamps do not match the RptMap.
RUNTIME_RTL Setting to ON means that print files are created with right-to-left render directions, right-justified labels, and right-justified field. Note that these files do not contain drill and data extraction capabilities.
RUNTIME_RTL_DBG Setting to ON enables the debugging of the creation of right-to-left files.
RPT_LOGGING

The default is OFF. Changing to ON writes several report map exception event messages to the report log file %LAWDIR%\system\rpt.log.

JVM_MAX_HEAPSIZE

The default value is 1024m, where m stands for megabyte.

The recommended value of heapsize is one-fourths of the system memory.

Heapsize values stated in kilobytes are also acceptable. For example, 500000k, which is equivalent to 500m.

Only parameters expressed in k or m are accepted. For example, 1000 or 1000x will not be accepted and will automatically revert to the default value, 1024m.
