To Version

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

Publish to Versioning System

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

• JReport Result
  Publishes the report set 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.
  • Precision Level
    Specifies the precision level with which to publish the report set result. Note that changing the default value may cause abnormalities in report layout.
• DHTML
  Publishes the report set to a DHTML result file (RSD file) that can be viewed in a JReport Web window. Some reports cannot be published to version in the DHTML 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 DHTML that can preserve data and the working status of the DHTML report and can be shared with others. Based on the RSD file, you can rebuild a DHTML 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 set result. Note that changing the default value may cause abnormalities in report layout.
• HTML
  Publishes the report set result to the versioning system in HTML format.
• PDF
  Publishes the report set result to the versioning system in PDF format.
• Excel
  Publishes the report set result to the versioning system in Excel format.
• Text
  Publishes the report set result to the versioning system in Text format.
• RTF
  Publishes the report set result to the versioning system in RTF format.
• XML
  Publishes the report set result to the versioning system in XML format.
• PostScript
  Publishes the report set result to the versioning system in PostScript format.

Archive Location

Specifies the location for the saved report set result version.

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

Apply Archive Policy

Applies an archive policy to the report set result version.

• Archive as New Version
  Specifies whether to use multiple versions for the specified resource. Available only for resources in the resource tree. The Maximum Number of Versions option specifies the maximum version number that will be listed in the version table. By default number of versions is unlimited. When the number of versions is reached, the new version will replace the oldest version in the resource tree.
• 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 Enterprise Server will keep the report set result forever.

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