video UX_V12-175 and saveToSessionFile to create report pdf

[brainwater]

Creating a report pdf using the methods in the video it works in the embededmode, but in live preview where it uses saveToSessionFile to create the pdf I get the error "property not found" when saveToSessionFile(temppdffilename ,key) is executed
temppdffilename := C:\Users\bruce\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpD7DC.pdf
key := A5Sessionfile_e0846e559f614280ba3bea0edb1f3372.pdf

I looked at the function in documentation and it looks like it is correct

has anyone else tried this ? since there wasn't a sample file included with the video I had to create the xbprint from what I saw in the video, I think I got everything typed correctly and it does work using the embededmode portion of the code

Does live preview support sessions?

[brainwater]

good question, guess I'll have to publish the sample and see if it works then

option B is to use the onInitialize event to create the session object/variables when you are not in a web session.

[brainwater]

I tried option B first - same result
published and tried again - same result "property not found" when saveToSessionFile(temppdffilename ,key) is executed

ok...let's let Alpha do the work.
Put a debug(1) statement in the onInitialize event.
Check to see where Alpha tells you session.Session_Folder is.
For me, it is C:\Users\installer\AppData\Local\Temp\AlphaAnywhere\p_12364\.

[brainwater]

I get a message "The session_Folder property is no longer supported"

[brainwater]

I tried it again C:\Users\bruce\AppData\Local\Temp\AlphaAnywhere\p_30112\

[brainwater]

I looked at the folder, it does have the pdf file I am trying to create in it

[madtowng]

That's what I was hoping for.
Maybe the message is way ahead of the implementation.

[brainwater]

If I look for session.Session_Folder while in working preview I can read it
in Live preview I get the error message
and it's in Live preview or published I have the problem with saveToSessionFile() (it's not used in working preview)

[madtowng]

I haven't read all the stuff yet, but this should be a step in the right direction.

Just in case some bingery changes happen, I'm putting the "forever" url into this thread.

Thanks, that's a lot more information than was available when I looked up saveToSessionFile()
Time to go ring in the new year, so I'll look at this next year
Thanks for looking that up

Happy new year
