debug=n
n may be 1, 2, 3 or 4.
The level indicates the amount of detail you wish to see. Level 1 is
enough for you to view the query or queries that were run.
Level 4 is usually too much information.
This argument on the command line produces a file in the current
directory or $rootdir/$debugdir/ if those variables are set.
rootdir=dir
If you are running ere from a web application, your
rootdir should be set to the full path of your htdocs
directory. Otherwise, you may leave rootdir unset or set it
to a convenient location. rootdir is used to direct the debug and csv
output files to a safe location.
debugdir=dir
dir is the directory name relative to rootdir
where you want your debug file files to be written.
The filename will be $rootdir/$debugdir/reportname.dbg. You
must be sure that the ere process can write to that directory.
csvdir=dir
dir is the directory name relative to rootdir
where you want your .csv files to be written. You
must be sure that the ere process can write to that directory.
The filename will be $rootdir/$csvdir/reportname-nnnnn.csv.
This argument is ignored if you do not also specify the command line
do_csv=t and enable one or more datastreams to produce csv.
The variable with the name of your datastream will contain a link
to the file. It will have the value of $csvdir/reportname-nnnnn.csv.
In order to create a link from the csv file
into your report, use
<A HREF=:datastreamname:> csv file </A>
do_csv=t
Use 't' to indicate that you want
.csv output from your report otherwise do not specify it at all.
The .csv output is written into the current directory or into
the directory specified by the value set by csvdir and/or rootdir.
The datastream name is also a built in variable such that a link to the
.csv file may be created in the report template.
This argument is ignored if the report's datastreams have
not been defined to suport .csv output. See Tags.
To enable a datastream to support csv output use csv=yes
in the datastream definition:
<DataStreamDef name=dsname ... csv=yes >
suffix=xxx
ere looks for files with the report name ending in .xml or .ere.
To change the suffix at runtime, use the suffix argument.
