You can run a Reporting Object or any individual component
of it in Developer Studio. To run a Reporting Object,
select the object and click the Run button
or the Run Deferred button from the Developer
Studio toolbar, or right-click the object and select Run.
The Run option in the Reporting Object tool is enabled regardless
of the setting of the Reporting Object Only Run as a Deferred
Report property.
xExpected Behaviors of Running a Reporting Object
When you select and run a Reporting Object, the expected
behavior is as follows:
- When you define a Report or Graph component, all
components of the Reporting Object run.
- When you define a Report and Graph component, an
HTML page appears that enables you to select which one to run.
- When you define filters in a Reporting Object, an HTML page
appears that enables you to select from the defined filters of
the Reporting Object.
- When you define parameters in a report or graph and the Reporting
Object Prompt for Parameters property is specified, an HTML page
appears that prompts you for parameter values.
- Reporting Object components are validated prior to run time.
This means that errors are found and corrected more easily since
errors in individual components are detected prior to run time.
- If you attempt to run a Reporting Object that is created without
using the Report or Graph components, you will receive the message:
