Manoj Chaurasia Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Benjamin I am actually really surprised the option to create a master file is no longer available in App Studio!!! The only way I could find an option to create a new synonym (Master File) was to use the Data Management console on the server where the reporting server is installed. image.png773331 23.5 KB image.png565692 29.8 KB Does anyone else have a way within the WebFOCUS environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Yergeau Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I just have been told this morning by my local rep that after 8207.22, AS is no longer giving the ability to edit via text editor a master file. But that AS no longer give ability to create master, its also new for me. So he suggest me to use 8207.22 version at the latest for AS if I want to keep the text editor working for master file within AS. He also told me that it seems to be planed to remove master file maintenance from AS So maybe 8207.27 is the version that now exclude this feature from AS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Maxwell Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 We are going through an upgrade to WF 8.207 27 and I was wondering if someone could tell me the basics on how to create a brand-new master file It appears it can no longer be done in App Studio, but how exactly is it done in Designer Studio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisuaLizeFOCUS . Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Please use WebFOCUS Server to create the new master file. localhost:8121 I hate the fact that we cannot even open a master file in the app studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Maxwell Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 On the Reporting Server these are the options I have for master files. Does anything here allow me to create a New Master File Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Beagan Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Try clicking the then under SERVER FILES double click an adapter, for example, MS SQL Server, and then double click a connection. From there you should see the create synonym panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
