installed the Dell Warranty utility.: ActiveSystem.rdl, AllSystems.rdl, and

SystemsWithWarranty.rdl. These reports have the following placeholders for

You can use the generate_srs_templates command to generate the

report definition files using the report templates. The placeholders are

substituted with the database connection string specified by you either in the

registry or the config file.
