The ReportCaster Servlet API reads from and writes to an SQL-based (relational) repository that stores distribution and scheduling information.
When the WebFOCUS repository is SQL-based, the ReportCaster Servlet API uses JDBC to read from and write to the repository tables. The following image illustrates the communication by the ReportCaster Servlet API to an SQL-based WebFOCUS repository.
The following WebFOCUS repository tables are accessed by the ReportCaster Servlet API:
|
Repository Table |
