Publishing Objects to SRM Report Optimizer 78
is published, it appears in the folder that you specified in InfoView (or your customized
web desktop) and in the Objects management area of the Central Management Console
(CMC).
Note: Depending on the rights that are assigned by your SRM Report Optimizer
administrator, you may not be able to publish objects by using the Publishing Wizard.
Contact your SRM Report Optimizer administrator for more information.
Publishing options
During the publishing process, you specify how often an object is run. You can choose to
set a recurring schedule, or you can choose to let users set the schedule themselves. For
example, for Crystal reports, you can specify whether the data in the report is
automatically refreshed according to a set schedule or if the data is refreshed only when
users manually refresh the report.
Each publishing option has several features:
• Specifying the data that users see
This option is recommended for objects that are accessed by a large number of people
and/or do not require separate database logon credentials. When you publish an
object, users can access the same instance of the object and reduce the number of
times that the system is prompted for information.
• Allowing users to update the data in the report
This option is recommended for objects that require separate database logon
credentials. It is also recommended when you publish smaller objects that have
frequent data changes and/or make use of parameters and record selection formulas.
When you publish an object, users are able to determine the frequency in which the
object is updated. However, users who access the object at the same time increase the
load on the system by increasing the number of times that it is prompted for
information.
Note:
• SRM Report Optimizer supports reports that are created in versions 6 through XI of
Crystal Reports. However, once a report is published to SRM Report Optimizer, it is
saved, processed, and displayed in version XI format.
• You can publish OLAP Intelligence reports to SRM Report Optimizer; however, you
cannot set them to run on a recurring schedule.
