Reporter

Reporter 5-3 and later

The Reporter 5-3 and later plug-in for ReadSoft Invoices uses these settings in Eilocal.ini:

[ModuleName::REPORTERDataCollectionPlugin] (only a few settings)

Name=Reporter Plug-in for Invoices
 Type=COM
 ClassName=RPTCollectPlugin.Main
 SupportIDispatch=True
 QuietMode=1    (optional)
  

LogFile

Most settings previously located in [ModuleName::REPORTERDataCollectionPlugin], as well as MsgSequenceFilePath, are now found in ReporterPlugin.ini by default. However, putting the same settings but with different values in the [ModuleName::REPORTERDataCollectionPlugin] section of Eilocal.ini at an individual workstation is a valid way of overriding the "central" settings. In other words, you could specify any setting in either of those two places, and:

  1. If the plug-in finds the setting in Eilocal.ini (which is checked first), that value is used.
  2. If the setting is not found in Eilocal.ini, the plug-in checks ReporterPlugin.ini. If the setting is found there, that value is used.
  3. If the setting is not found in ReporterPlugin.ini either, an error message is displayed.

However, it is not correct to have all settings duplicated at each workstation. This is likely to be the result of an incorrect procedure, for example manually restoring an old copy of Eilocal.ini after upgrading from Reporter 5-2 to Reporter 5-3. In order to prevent potential problems resulting from such errors, the plug-in checks where language strings are stored. If plug-in discovers the strings in both places, an error message informs users of the duplicate settings and asks them to contact a system administrator to eliminate the redundancy.
