variants and teamspaces

[arnole]

I have some questions about how variants work with teamspaces:

1. Why do I have to duplicate a variant in multiple teamspaces (message “The variant is already referenced in a teamspace and needs thus to be duplicated.”)? Is it really impossible to use the exact same variant in multiples teamspaces? Is there a way to do this kind of thing?

2. With a variant used in scheduler and a teamspace, when I remove it from the teamspace, I have a message “Error: Report xxxx is scheduled. Job Ids: xxxx Do you want to enforce deleting this object?”. If I click on “yes”, it totally delete it: from the teamspace, but also from the scheduler, and the variant don’t exist anymore. Is there a way to remove a variant just from a teamspace ?

Thanks

Hi arnole,

1. No, you can import the variant into a TeamSpace as a reference to another variant (see documentation). In this scenario, changing the variant updates both instances, as they both reference the same variant. If you choose to duplicate the variant, they become distinct objects, and changes will not be reflected across them. https://reportserver.net/en/documentation/user-guide-4-6-3/3-teamspace

2. The variant must be in at least one TeamSpace. You can move the variant to a different TeamSpace (instead of deleting it) via the terminal https://reportserver.net/de/dokumentation/admin-guide-4-6-1/19-terminal-commands#19-44-mv:

mv myvariant ../myNewTeamspace
