AFC Actuate foundation class designed to hold an ordered 
collection of objects.

All the commonly used components in the AFC library have 
been extended in to the sssiebel library.
Sssiebel.rol known as the Siebel library. It is derived 
from afc.rol and contains all the base classes for the 
sscustom library.
The use of a component from the AFC library, rather than 
the sscustom library, is an
exceptional situation and applies only to detail charts. 
AFC components should not be used
directly in Siebel reports except in this specific 
situation.

there two types of filters 1. single input filter 
2.multiple input filter

connecting the report for 2 databases we use multiple input 
filter. 
for example your report need two database for geting data u 
have to use multiple  input filter.
base class for this filter is
AC single inputfilter
AC multiple input filter
i will give example for in your database u have abc,xyz two 
databases you need data from these two databases so u have 
use multiple filter. normally single input filter we do not 
use.

place the connection in the connection slot --use  "ODBC 
connection" option here.
while placing the data source in the data stream 
choose "Stored prodedure data source componant" ,click on OK
Place the data row in the data row slote under data stream .
Now double click on the data stream go to Property-Stored 
Procedure Def ,click on the browse button ,
then it will automatically opens the SP in your database , 
just select the stored procedure (SP) which u want

Hi,

Just Try to run Axis Client first which is in
ServerIntTechnology.In that U can find code for execute and
job status.

once u deploy the rox file in management consol,then u have 
to go options one is back ground job and second is immedite 
job, if u go back ground job that is schedule job or if u 
go immedite job that now itself execute after that u  have 
got report output format .roi

Hi Shailesh






i Want some assignments on actuate from you.Please do 
advise me asap.what kind of different situations you have 
faced while developing actuate business requirement reports?

Number of rows which are retrieved from database query,that 
many times Fetch method get executed at run time.

Data stream and Data adapters are different.
Data stream is a group of components.It contains a data
source component, data row component and one or more data
filter components(optional).It selects data from the data
source and places the data into data row structure required
by the report.

Data adapter can be a data source component or a data filter
component.It retrieves data from an input source(data
base)and   creates data row.

A data stream is a group of components that provides the 
data for your report. The data stream selects data from a 
data source database and then places the data into the data 
row structure required by the report. A data stream can be 
made up of several types of components. Every data stream 
has a data source component and a data row component. 
Additional, optional components include filters, memory 
buffers, and intermediate data rows. 
A data adapter filters, retrieves, sorts, or otherwise 
processes information. The two types of data adapters are 
data sources and data filters. The relevant Actuate 
Foundation Class is AcDataAdapter.

This is quite simple to implement.

If you have the example which are there in the actuate 
install folder you can get help from it.

For developing this what you can do is put a parallel 
section first and then drag those 2 reports on it, then 
design those report and in the page layout use two flows 
and in the report properties assign the flows to the 
respective reports.

this way you can design it

You can put more light on your requirement so that it would 
be clear.

Any ways for this requirement what you can do is run the 
sequential report 1 by another and get the values from 
those reports and accordingly run your last report.
I think this might help

An Actuate Group Section will group similar records 
together by a key field. A query pulling all the records 
from a table with 100 records and grouping by State or 
Province will still display 100 records on the report. No 
data is lost or aggregated.

A SQL Group By will aggregate data being pulled from a 
table. Grouping By State or Province will result in 
somewhere less than 100 records being delivered to the 
report. The results most likely will be 5 records 
containing a count and the state name: DL-20; MH-10; BR-5, 
WB-25, and MP-40. A Group By processes the data and creates 
new information about that original data.

Using the Group by in the SQL returns the data form the 
database which is grouped by that attribute. 
If u r not grouping through the SQL if u wan to group in 
thr report from the front end through actuate, u can use 
the Group section.

Yes we can define global methods in eRDPro.We can put our 
procedure and function in .bas file and use.

I think there isn't anything like a global method in 
Actuate. A method is a procedure you declare within a class 
declaration. A global procedure can be defined by creating 
a new Actuate Basic source (.bas) file or by using an 
existing BAS.

Yes, we can use any no. of database in a single report to 
extract data. We have to use different report section for 
this purpose.

Obviously yes,AS there is no restiction on use of databases 
we can connect two or more databases in single report also

yes using multipleinput filter

If you want to connect to different database we need those 
many connections. We can use it accordingly with those 
connection.

Report bursting is the process of creating a single report 
object executable
(.rox) file that generates multiple report object instance 
(.roi) files.Actuate iServer supports report bursting only 
if the report runs as a scheduled
background job, or asynchronously. If you run a burst 
report synchronously,
Actuate iServer displays an error message because it cannot 
determine which
report to display.

Report Bursting Under which multiple .roi gets created 
which is easy for distribution 
Example of this is under 
actuatedevwbexamplesurstingurst1 or burst2 
In the report design, under the AcReport component, new 
report apps there 
is a function called SuggestRoiName where you can specify 
if you want to 
generate different roi for different department eg. 
accounting.roi, 
finance.roi, marketing.roi from the same .rod 
And all the .rois get created under the same folder

It is a security to a report page at the User level.In PLS, 
user can able to see only those pages to which he has given 
a privelege to access.

A report developer can use page-level security to determine 
user access to specific pages of an Actuate basic report. 
Using page level security, a report developer can create a 
report having security rules that control which pages a 
user can view. To view a report that uses page-level 
security, a user must have secure read privilege on the 
report.
Page level security options :- Read, Write, Secure Read, 
Visible, delete.

Thanks-

DataRow Component has OnRead method.
To manipulate the Rows which are returned by the query or 
add the new rows or expressions at runtime we can use 
onRead method.

It is a collection of Javascript files wouldlet the users 
choose the fields want when they running the reports from 
the web.these Javascript files would sit on the report cast.

I have not heard like actuate smart report. If it is there 
where it is located.
