Integrating Custom Reports

After you are satisfied with your custom report, you must integrate it with the management server so that other users can access the report. You must first deploy the custom report to the management server. Then, you must integrate the report so that it is accessible from Reporting. Custom reports appear with their own icon in the reports tree.

IMPORTANT: You can have only one catalog (*.cat) file to a directory. If you have more than one catalog, create a subdirectory under %JBOSS4_DIST%\server\appiq\reports\custom. For example, assume you have two reports that use a different catalog, you would create two subdirectories under reports\custom. The support files and catalog for one report would go into one subdirectory (reports\custom\subdirectory1), and the support files and catalog for the other report would go into another subdirectory

(reports\custom\subdirectory2).

To integrate custom reports:

1.Deploy the custom report files (CLS, CAT and all other files) from Report Designer. Use Report Designer's deploy catalog mechanism to transfer the files. Create a directory called custom under %JBOSS4_DIST%\server\appiq\reports. Then, deploy the catalog to the following directory:

%JBOSS4_DIST%\server\appiq\reports\custom

Refer to the documentation accompanying Report Designer for more information.
