As a Managed Reporting administrator or developer, use
the following tools to create and manage the Managed Reporting user
environment:
-
Developer Studio MR Component, Dashboard,
and Domain Builder applet enable you to create Standard Reports
that users run, launch pages that make those reports available on
the Web, and Reporting Objects for users to create their own reports.
The Managed Reporting Repository supports long file names (up to
64 characters) for My Reports, Standard Reports, Reporting Objects,
and Other files.
For more repository file
name information, see Repository File Name Processing in
the Additional Administration Topics chapter
of the WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Administrator's Manual. For
more Domain Builder information, see the WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Administrator's Manual.
-
Managed Reporting Administration enables
you to configure user access to Managed Reporting by specifying
the user profiles, roles, and domains that users can access. Grouping
users and domains ensures that users can access the information
they need, while protecting sensitive or confidential data. Managed Reporting
Administration is only available to administrators and limited functionality
is available for developers that are assigned the Group Administrator
privilege. For more information, see the
WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Administrator's Manual.
-
ReportCaster is
an optional tool that enables you to schedule the execution of Standard
Reports, and distribute the information directly to the people who need
it, on time, automatically. ReportCaster requires ReportCaster Administrator privileges.
For more information, see the ReportCaster Development and Administration manual.
-
Two-Way Email enables
mobile business professionals to request and receive WebFOCUS reports
through e-mail, using a handheld device, laptop, or desktop.
For
more information about Two-Way Email administration, see Two-Way Email Administration in the Two-Way
Email manual
-
Data Servers component
lets you create, access, and use data source descriptions and procedure
files that reside on the WebFOCUS Reporting Server. The Data Servers
component contains the stored procedures and Master Files called
by the reports that you create. The Domain Builder in the browser
and the Explorer in Developer Studio display the Data Servers component
in a hierarchical, tree-like structure.
Note: If you are
a developer using the browser, or you are not using the full edition
of Developer Studio and you do not have the Data Server privilege,
the Data Servers node is hidden. Developers with the Data Server
privilege can view and edit the Server and Application path properties
on a Domain. Without the Data Server privilege, developers can only
view these properties.
-
Domains reside
on the Web server in the Managed Reporting Repository and are used
to build and test Standard Reports, Reporting Objects, and the Web
pages that launch those procedures. Each domain that you create
(in the browser accessing either the MR Administration Tool or MR
Applet Domain Builder, or access the full Developer Studio) contains
a group of folders for the different types of objects you create
for Managed Reporting users.
The following image shows the Developer
Studio window with the standard Windows menu bar and two rows of
toolbar. The window is then divided into two sections, the left section
displays the hierarchical structure of the objects created for Managed
Reporting users and the right section contains the available domains.
