The WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Developer for Windows enables developers to create and manage domain content. The WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Developer's Manual is written from the perspective of this product, which enables developers to:

• Create Standard Reports and Reporting Objects in a Windows environment with the Report Painter.
• Analyze data with OLAP.
• Create and manage WebFOCUS Reporting Server resources, such as metadata, procedures, and other files.

By design, all Managed Reporting administrative features are disabled. Developers cannot create, delete, or rename domains using the Managed Reporting Developer for Windows. Developers cannot access the Managed Reporting Administration interface, Dashboard View Builder, ReportCaster Console, or the User Management tree.

Important: Managed Reporting administrators can use this product, but their behavior is the same as that of a developer who has the Data Server privilege. Likewise, developers still have their administrative capabilities when they use the full Developer Studio. For more information on using Developer Studio as an administrator or developer, refer to the WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Administrator's Manual.

Managed Reporting Developer for Windows can also be used to create self-service applications. You can create Server procedures and metadata using the Data Servers area (if you are an administrator, or a developer with the Data Server privilege). You cannot access the Web Applications folder from the Explorer, which is used to create launch pages, and you cannot work in the Project Development area, which includes support for deployment scenarios. In these situations, you must use the full Developer Studio.
