Running a Reporting Object From Domain Builder

You can run all components of a Reporting Object from the Reporting Object window in the Domain Builder. This facilitates development by allowing you to stay in the same context while building and testing components.

You run a Reporting Object by clicking Run in the Reporting Object window. The Run option in the Reporting Object window is enabled regardless of the setting of the Reporting Object's Only Run as a Deferred Report property.

You can also use the Run and Run Deferred buttons from the Domain Builder toolbar whenever a Reporting Object is selected. Unlike the Reporting Object window, the Run option in the Domain Builder toolbar is only available if the Reporting Object's Only run as a Deferred Report property is not selected. This enables you to run Reporting Objects from Domain Builder without having to edit them.

Expected 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's 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.

Note:

Run is disabled for all the remaining Reporting Object components (Other, Join, Define, Filters, and Where).
If you attempt to run a Reporting Object that is created without using the Report or Graph components, you will receive a message: "EDA no data".
If you attempt to run a Reporting Object as a Standard Report that is created without using the Report or Graph components, you will receive a message: "FOC009: Incomplete request statement".
