report

Defines the set of methods related to running and manipulating reports.

Many of the methods in this method set return responses that support an asynchronous conversation. In addition, some of these methods, such as validate » validate(objectPath, parameterValues, options) and parameter » getParameters(objectPath, parameterValues, options), start a new asynchronous conversation. Use these methods in conjunction with the methods in the asynch method set to extend the set of actions that can be performed during an asynchronous conversation.

Some of these methods offer functionality that is more extensive than similar methods provided by the contentManagerService. When adding, querying, or updating objects of type bibus » authoredReport in the content store, use the methods in this method set rather than the corresponding contentManagerService methods.

For example, you can retrieve an bibus » authoredReport object from the content store using either the content » query(searchPath, properties, sortBy, options) method or the report » query(objectPath, parameterValues, options) method. However, only the report » query(objectPath, parameterValues, options) method will update the report specification after retrieving the bibus » authoredReport object from the content store.
