It is also possible to restart DreamReport from a command line, so technically speaking you can easily restart DreamReport from a PcVue project. Using the example from DreamReport help;

Dream Report® Version 5.0

“<path to RTM>\rtm.exe” -control -startproject “full project path”

Example:”C:\ODS\Dream Report\System\RTM.exe” -control – startproject  “C:\ODS\Dream Report\Project\Demo\Demo.drpj”

Simply create a batch file, ie RestartDR.bat and fill in the following line:

“C:\ODS\Dream Report\System\rtm.exe” -control -startproject “C:\ODS\Dream Report\Project\Demo\Demo.drpj”

Copy this file into the directory TP of your PcVue project and create a scada basic function like this one:

SUB main ()
Dim ret as integer;
Dim Command as str;

Command = “RestartDR.bat”; ‘Located in TP folder of the project
print(command);
ret = Application(“LOAD”, Command,””,5); ‘Minimised, inactive (window in background).

print(ret);

END SUB

Add a button to start this function or a scheduled action:
