We just updated our video tutorial page. All videos are in HD – High Definition now.

We’ll update much more detailed video tutorials during the next few weeks.

We know; this time has been real short from one release to the next. But we felt that the backup option in DBxtra 4.1.4. was far from being perfect.

Changes:
We changed the backup utility – when your DBxtra Server database is located on the Report Web Service – in the last version 4.1.4 we offered a backup to XML file which presented certain problems.
When restoring from an XML file all Web browser bookmarks and Web Report Widget insert wouldn’t work anymore because the object Id was changed.
This issue has been fixed in the 4.1.5 version. Now the XML backup – restore will not interfere with Web browser bookmarks and also will attempt to backup and download your complete DBxtra Server database from your Web Server.

Bugs fixed:
The advanced Parameter – Configure List Values sometimes presented problems.

If you back up your DBxtra Server database as XML file and restore from it then your embedded reports in your Web-page with the Web Report Widget won’t open anymore. That is because by restoring from XML file new objects Id’s will be assigned. You’ll need to manually re-assign the new object Id’s in your HTML code. This also applies for web book-marked reports.

We’ll update a fix for this soon.

New Features:

Date Function Wizard for connections to MS Access, MS SQL Server, MySQL and Oracle databases. More…

Back up – you can now back up all projects in a single step. Until now DBxtra could only backup your Server database if you were connected through a disc path; now it is also possible to backup and restore all projects as XML files even if you’re connected through the Report Web Service.  More…

Version upgrade backup – when upgrading to a newer DBxtra version you’ll be asked if to back up your DBxtra Server database before upgrading.

Schedule Server – now allows sending e-mails through G-mail accounts.

Enhanced user input Parameters
   Calendar for date fields
   Show Date functionality for date fields
   Password like input parameter fields
   Show Values – optionally
   Show All values – optionally
   Configuration of list values

SQL Server – now you can connect to Stored Procedures and Table Value-Functions.

Schedule Server – User Alerts now can have merged Reports attached.

Changes:

Schedule Server – by default will always send the last missed Schedule Server job automatically.

Report Builder – now you can insert a Pivot Table from the underlying Query into the same report.

Bugs fixed:

Date Functions – error en "Next # Years" y "Next # Quarters".

Connection to Postgresql databases sometimes returned an error – error on Npgsql library.

Schedule Server – sometimes did not send all e-mails with PDF attachments (file in use error).

Query Pane- third “OR” columns sometimes returned errors.

Data Grid – when adding Drill Down’s without relation key returned error.

Query Builder – synchronization of SQL – Group by – sometimes failed.
