View source for Using stand alone reports compared to enabler

Created: 30 January 2009. Last Reviewed: 30 January 2009 


When configured to use Enabler for reporting. The reporting is performed by either winpos.exe or infoctrl.exe, hosted within those applications themselves.

When configured to use standalone. The reporting is performed by infenblr.exe, a dedicated windows application that does nothing but run reports.

infenblr.exe was introduced as there were issues with running reports from within POS/BO.

Both mechanisms ultimately execute the same logic etc contained within islrept.dll, so it is not like we are doing it one way for the PO/BO apps and one way for standalone. Just that the standalone application has nothing else in it, just the running of the reports.
