Interactive Reporting Studio Type Library Diagnostics

Open the Installation Diagnostics window (As part of the Installation Diagnostics, the Type Library file (TLB) describes the interface offered by a COM server such as Interactive Reporting Studio. Dashboard Architect uses the TLB to communicate with the services that Interactive Reporting Studio offers. If you are using a release earlier than Release 9.3.1 (except Release 9.2, Service Pack 3), and the version of the TLB and the release of Interactive Reporting Studio are not in synch, this can result in unexpected behaviors in Dashboard Architect. In a standard installation, the TLB is located in the Windows system32 folder and is called brioqry.tlb. The Interactive Reporting Studio installer keeps the application and the TLB in synch. However, when non–standard mechanisms for upgrading are used problems may arise.)

Line numbers

Show or hide line numbers in the editing window (A discrepancy exists between the line numbers shown in the Console window and the line numbers shown in Dashboard Architect when working with an instrumented Interactive Reporting document. To translate the line number reported in the Console window, subtract two for line numbers if no breakpoints exist in the current event, or the breakpoints come after the line being reported. Subtract a further five for each breakpoint)
