IFS Business Reporter Execution Server (BRES) supports two entries in the Application Monitoring Console that enables for the administrator to keep track of the current status.
Use this page to learn more about monitoring support for the BRES.
The IFS Business Reporter Execution Server supports the following monitoring events:
The above image shows the Application Monitoring Console and there is a category named IFS Business Reporter that has two monitoring entries.
In the example we can see that there is one BRES that has not responded within 15 minutes.
Use RMB Details to see which servers that have not responded.
In the above example, the event Number of reports which are not responding in BR Execution Server(s) has a red indicator, there are 6 reports that have been terminated due to that the have reached the timeout.
To see which reports, use the RMB Details.
If we look in the BR Execution Server Reports Queue (>>) form we see the following:
There are 6 reports in Rendering in Progress state, these reports correspond to the reported error reports.
To investigate what is wrong, one option is to download the report definition and the data used to render the report. This is done in the BR Execution Server Reports Queue form by using the RMB Export Report Template and Data Set. Once downloaded, click on the report and it will open in Business Reporter and the rendering will take place. Investigate if there is something wrong with the design or if the reports gives some errors and then try to correct the report and republish it again.
For some reports it might be that the timeout has a too low value; then it is possible to stop the BRES, increase the timeout and then start the BRES again. There is however one important thing to consider. The reports that have been stopped will have the status Rendering in Progress. To make sure that they will be processed, make sure to set the status to Ready for Rendering in the BR Execution Server Reports Queue form by modifying Rendering Status column.
Report
status changed to Ready for Rendering after
having investigated the reports.
After
changing the status and restarting the BR Execution Server, all but one report
has rendered successfully. The report with status Error must be investigated a
bit further.
