batchReportService

Defines the service responsible for the execution of reports (bibus » baseReport class).

The batch report service is dedicated to running non-interactive batch reports. For example, when a report is run as part of an agent or job or is run in the background, the request is sent to the batch report service. A report is run in the background when it is scheduled, emailed, printed, saved, or run in response to an external occurrence (see event » trigger(triggerName)).

The batch report service has an associated set of configuration parameters that are defined by the properties of the bibus » batchReportService class. These parameters can be configured to optimize the batch report service for non-interactive use. This is the only difference between the batch report service and the report service (reportService).

This service may also make additional requests to the following IBM® Cognos® Analytics services when processing a request:

Example: Connecting to the Batch Report Service in Java

 
private  BatchReportService_ServiceLocator  batchReportServiceLocator  =  null; 
private  BatchReportService_PortType  batchReportService  =  null;   
public  static  String  BS_URL  =  "http://localhost:9300/p2pd/servlet/dispatch"; 
batchReportServiceLocator  =  new  BatchReportService_ServiceLocator(); 
... 
try 
{ 
	java.net.URL  serverURL  =  new  java.net.URL(BS_URL); 
	batchReportService  =  batchReportServiceLocator.getbatchReportService(serverURL); 
	... 
} 
//  catch  exceptions

Example: Connecting to the Batch Report Service in C# .NET

 
try 
{ 
	batchReportService1  c8BRS  =  new  batchReportService1(); 
	c8BRS.Url  =  "http://localhost:9300/p2pd/servlet/dispatch"; 
	... 
} 
//  catch  exceptions
