Techy Notes on FRx 6


Put together in HTML as part of Richards Techy Pages

The following information is extracted from the manual "Implementation and FRx Report Server" for version 6.0.



Important Files Names

FRX32.cfg  = Sysdata location file, resides in the FRx application folder
sysdata\*.f32  =  Report definition info (rows cloumns trees catalogs), do not lose or you will lose your reports
sysdata\ACTSYS32.mdb  =  Accounting system specific information (Dynamics), is static and seldom ever written / changed i.e. for internal FRx use only
io_data\FRLSPL32.mdb  =  GL info for FW and FWC demo companies
sysdata\FRXSYS32.mdb  =  registration, company information, specification set locations, font formats and security information

Note: OFSI = "Open Financial System Interface" and is the layer between the reports engine and financial system in use specified by ACTSYS32.mdb. The OFSI gives the reports engine a standard or consistent interface no matter what Accounting system the data is coming from as FRX can be used with many different Accounting systems not just those supplied by Great Plains...


Also from Great Plains is the following:

A note about specification sets - The FRxsys32.mdb file holds the specification sets. The *.f32 files hold the building blocks that make up the specification sets. For this reason, if you rename your specification set (e.g. called 'DEFAULT') and then copy the FRxrpts.f32 file from one SYSDATA directory (e.g. called 'TWOINC') to your SYSDATA directory, FRx will not recognise the specification set ('TWOINC') because it has not been setup in the FRxsys32.mdb file.

Great Plains also supplied the table "FILE types and definitions" with the paragraph above.
