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.
