The following IFS Business Reporter parameters are optional to configure. The default settings should be enough for most cases.
| Parameter Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Allow nested repeaters | Specifies whether to allow nested basic repeaters for unconnected
dimension items in IFS Business Reporter. Default value is FALSE. Enabling nested basic repeaters in a design row, can lead to slow performance. |
| Lifetime in days for archived reports | Specifies the cleanup age limit in days for reports stored in the
IFS Business Reporter Export Archive. The default value is 30 days. The archive is typically used to store executed IFS Business Reporter reports when performing export of non-IFS Business Reporter to someone that does not have IFS Business Reporter installed. The receiver typically fills in information in the Excel file before sending it back to IFS Applications for import and write back. The original file at the time of export must be available in the archive to be able to handle the import. Thus the lifetime limit must be set to that there is no risk that required original reports are removed by a built in cleanup functionality. |
| Lifetime in days for reports archived in IFS Applications | Specifies the cleanup age limit in days for IFS Business Reporter
specific reports archived in IFS Applications. Default value is 100 days. |
| Max number of rows to retrieve during report execution | This specifies the maximum number of rows to retrieve for one data set (one
SELECT statement). The purpose is to avoid total deadlock if a query due
to some reason will retrieve a huge number of rows.
Default value is 65000. |
| Maximum number of repeating sheets allowed in report output | Specifies the default number of sheets when using Sheet Repeater
functionality in IFS Business Reporter. A warning message will appear in
IFS Business Reporter if the supplied
limit is about to be exceeded. For improved usability, the warning message
can be ignored. The parameter only has impact when a report is executed from
the IFS Business Reporter client. If a
report is executed via IFS Business Reporter
Execution Server then this parameter will not be used. Default value is 50 |
| Usage of Business Reporter Execution Server | Specifies whether IFS Business Reporter Execution Server is used for
rendering of IFS Business Reporter reports
in order to reduce the time for the report
rendering process. Default value is NO. If the value
ONLY_FOR_SCHEDULED_REPORTS is used the
IFS Business Reporter Execution Server will only render scheduled reports. |
