The Usage of Business Reporter Execution Server System parameter would determine the behavior of the IFS Business Reporter Execution Server and has several values that could be set.

  • Parameter value - FOR_ALL_INFO_SERVICES_REPORTS
  • Parameter value - ONLY_FOR_SCHEDULED_REPORTS
  • Parameter value - NO

FOR_ALL_INFO_SERVICES_REPORTS

This means that all IFS Business Reporter reports ordered or scheduled from IFS Cloud will be processed by IFS Business Reporter Execution Server, i.e. reports ordered via the Order Report dialog as well as batch scheduled reports. Once the report is rendered, the report will be uploaded to the Report Archive from which the user can view the report.

Note that IFS Business Reporter Client is not needed to view these executed reports as these are already rendered through the IFS BR Execution Server and hence no processing is required to view the report.

ONLY_FOR_SCHEDULED_REPORTS

This means that only scheduled IFS Business Reporter reports ordered from IFS Cloud should be sent to BR Execution Server. When this parameter is set all the IFS Business Reporter specific reports scheduled through IFS Cloud will get rendered by the IFS Business Reporter Execution Server and the report output will be saved in to Report Archive.

Note that IFS Business Reporter Client is not needed to view these executed reports as these are already rendered through the BR Execution Server and hence no processing is required to view the report.

NO

This means that no IFS Business Reporter reports ordered from IFS Cloud should be processed by the IFS Business Reporter Execution Server. When this parameter is set the reports ordered via IFS Cloud will be executed using IFS Business Reporter Client installed in the users machine.
