IFS Business Reporter Execution Server¶
From IFS Cloud 21R2 onwards, a newer version of IFS Business Reporter Execution Server was introduced which is an inbuilt service integrated to IFS Cloud middle-tier itself. This service would not require the user to do any additional configurations or installations and would work out of the box. A key aspect of this solution is that this service does not require Excel as a prerequisite and would cut down a lot of manual configuration work needed with the previous IFS Business Reporter Execution Server.
The previous version of IFS Business Reporter Execution Server worked mainly inside a Virtual Machine as a service where a system administrators has to manually install the service in a Virtual machine and configure it to work. In addition to this, with every update of IFS Business Reporter Execution Server the VM needed to be updated with the latest version. All these involved a lot of manual work, but now with the latest Built-in IFS Business Reporter Execution Server all this manual work is cut off which would save a lot of time and effort for the System Administrators.
Activating Built-in IFS Business Reporter Execution Server¶
Built-in IFS Business Reporter Execution Server will be set to active by default through the parameter Use the built-in BR Execution Server.
When Built-in BR Execution Server System parameter is set to TRUE the built-in service will render reports through the built-in service and upload the rendered report into the report archive from which the user can view the reports.
If Built-in BR Execution Server is set to FALSE then the reports would be rendered through the External IFS Business Reporter Execution Server, please check External IFS Business Reporter Server for further details on this.
