Passwords

When Report Builder saves the report definition, it stores a logical flag representing the presence of a password. However, it does not store the password. The following table describes the different logical flag settings:

If. . .
Then. . .
The database stored in the report definition requires a USERID and password
The logical value is true, and Report Builder prompts the user for a USERID and password when the user attempts to open the report definition.
The database stored in the report definition does not require a USERID and password
The logical value is false, and Report Builder connects to the specified database without prompting for the USERID and password.
The database stored in the report definition requires a USERID but no password
The logical value is false, and Report Builder connects to the specified database without prompting for a USERID and password.
The database security changes so that it requires a password, but it did not when the user saved the report definition
Report Builder prompts the user to correct the database connection information. After the user specifies the information and saves the report, the logical value is true, and Report Builder prompts for the USERID and password unless the user is running Report Engine with an RB-DISPLAY-ERRORS setting of false.

You can also override the database connection information in the report definition in the following ways:
