To Version

This tab is for you to specify settings for publishing report results to the versioning system. See the tab.

Publish to Versioning System

Specifies to publish the report result to the versioning system. You can publish the result to the following formats:

• JReport Result
  Publishes the report to a JReport result file.
  • Zip Result
    Specifies to compress the result to reduce the disk size and I/O; however, it uses more CPU resources.

  • Run Linked Report
    If the report is linked with other reports, you can check whether or not to generate the linked reports in the JReport result file. If you are only interested in the primary report, leave this option unchecked. Generating linked reports at the same time, especially when the linked reports contain a large amount of data, will cause performance issue.

  • Precision Level
    Specifies the precision level with which to publish the report result. Note that changing the default value may cause abnormalities in report layout.
• Page Report Result
  Publishes the report to a page report result file (RSD file) that can be viewed in a Page Report Studio window. Some reports cannot be published to version in the Page Report Result format, such as self-contained (CLX) reports, multi-level nested master and subreports, reports containing data objects, and reports developed from a dynamic query or hierarchical data source (HDS).

  An RSD file is a middle result for page report that can preserve data and the working status of a page report and can be shared with others. Based on the RSD file, you can rebuild a page report to analyze data and to export to other formats. An RSD file is a standalone working file so all the useful information is added into it, such as catalog, report template, NLS, data, parameters and security. The security information of an RSD file is the user of the generator that creates it. When different users open the same RSD, they will get the same result based on the same security configuration. You cannot refresh a report viewed from an RSD file to refetch data from the database. When the system rebuilds a report according to the RSD file, it will only load data from the RSD file. When opening a report RSD, you cannot go back to the actions which the RSD generator took before generating the RSD file but can take actions based on the current RSD resources.

  • Zip Result
    Specifies to compress the result. The compressed file's suffix will still be .rsd, it's size will be smaller which reduces IO and disk usage; however, it uses more CPU resources.
  • Precision Level
    Specifies the precision level with which to publish the report result. Note that changing the default value may cause abnormalities in report layout.
• Web Report Result
  Publishes the web report to a static web report result file (WST file). WST files can be exported to HTML, PDF, Text, Excel, XML, RTF, and Postscript formats.
  • Zip Result
    Specifies to compress the result to reduce the disk size and I/O; however, it uses more CPU resources.

  • Run Linked Report
    If the report is linked with other reports, you can check whether or not to generate the linked reports in the WST file. If you are only interested in the primary report, leave this option unchecked. Generating linked reports at the same time, especially when the linked reports contain a large amount of data, will cause performance issue.

  • Precision Level
    Specifies the precision level with which to publish the web report result. Note that changing the default value may cause abnormalities in report layout.
• HTML
  Publishes the report result to the versioning system in HTML format.
• PDF
  Publishes the report result to the versioning system in PDF format.
• Excel
  Publishes the report result to the versioning system in Excel format.
• Text
  Publishes the report result to the versioning system in Text format.
• RTF
  Publishes the report result to the versioning system in RTF format.
• XML
  Publishes the report result to the versioning system in XML format.
• PostScript
  Publishes the report result to the versioning system in PostScript format.

Archive Location

Specifies the location for the saved report result version.

• Built-in Version Folder
  Specifies to save the report result version to the built-in version folder.
• My Reports Folder
  Specifies to save the report result version to the My Reports folder.
• Public Reports Folder
  Specifies to save the report result version to the Public Reports folder.

Apply Archive Policy

Applies an archive policy to the report result version.

• Archive as New Version
  Specifies whether to use multiple versions for the report result.
  • Maximum Number of Versions
    Specifies the maximum number of versions that will be listed in the version table of the report result. The default value is 0, which means that the version number is unlimited.
• Replace Old Version
  Specifies to replace the old version when a new version is generated.

Result Auto-delete

Specifies the deleted date of the result. Set the result to be automatically deleted within one hundred years. If the time you specify exceeds one hundred years, JReport Server will keep the report result forever.

• Result Expires in N Days
  Specifies a period after which the report result will be automatically deleted.
• Result Expires After
  Specifies a certain day on which the report result will be automatically deleted.

Set Permissions

Available only when the Archive Location is specified to be Public Reports Folder. Click the link to set user permissions to the specified report tabs or web report in the Set Permissions dialog.
