• -s
  Converts all the reports in the specified directory, including the reports in all subdirectories.

Examples

• To convert a single report:

  rptconv "-source=C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports\SampleReports\InvoiceReport.cls" "–target=C:\temp"

  This will convert C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports\SampleReports\InvoiceReport.cls to C:\temp\InvoiceReport.cls.

  rptconv "-source=C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports\SampleReports\InvoiceReport.cls" "–target=C:\temp\1.cls.xml"

  This will convert C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports\SampleReports\InvoiceReport.cls, save the converted report to C:\temp, and name it as "1.cls.xml" (if license allows).

  rptconv "-source=C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports\SampleReports\InvoiceReport.cls"

  This will convert C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports\SampleReports\InvoiceReport.cls, save the converted report in the same directory, and name it as "converted_InvoiceReport.cls".

  rptconv "-source=C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports\SampleReports\InvoiceReport.cls" -r

  This will overwrite C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports\SampleReports\InvoiceReport.cls.

• To convert all reports (*.cls, *.rpt, *.clx, *.cls.xml) in a directory:

  rptconv "-source=C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports" "–target=C:\temp"

  This will convert all the reports in C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports and save the converted reports to C:\temp. The converted reports use the same file names as source reports.

  rptconv "-source=C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports" "–target=C:\temp" -s

  This will convert all the reports in C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports and in the subdirectories and save the converted reports to C:\temp. The converted reports take the same file names and directory structure as source reports.

  rptconv "-source=C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports" "–target=C:\temp\*.cls" -s

  This will convert all the reports in C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports and in the subdirectories and save the converted reports to C:\temp. The converted reports take the same directory structure as source reports and the suffixes of their file names are all changed to ".cls".

  rptconv "-source=C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports" -r -s

  This will convert all the reports in C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports and in the subdirectories. The converted reports overwrite the source reports.

  rptconv "-source=C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports"

  This will convert all the reports in C:\JReport\Designer\demo\reports. All the converted reports are saved in the same directory and named as "converted_SourceReportName".

• To convert a type of reports with same suffixes in a directory:
