Reconciling a Report

Once a report is created/redesigned and saved it is part of the DSR file.

You must reconcile your design back to the active Application. Until then, it will not be available to you in an actual Sesame application.

NOTE: All users must be out of the application, and it must be closed. Designer requires unrestricted access to the target application to perform a reconcile. It is a very high impact process. The internal structure of the DB and DSR files are compared and altered until they match. MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR APPLICATION BEFORE RECONCILING.

1. From the Designer Application menu, select Application / Reconcile Existing Application.
2. A dialog opens listing the db files. Select the proper application and click Accept.
3. The Reconcile Application Options dialog opens. Answer the questions accordingly. (See the Reconciling Designer Changes section in the Sesame User Guide for more information on these questions.)
4. Click on Reconcile Now. This performs the reconcile and leaves you at the Designer menu.
