This activity is used to analyze an executed IFS Business Reporter (BR) report.
You can use Zoom In and Drill Down features to analyze the report. With these features, it is possible to analyze information in IFS Applications directly from the report. This will give you more information about the underlying data related to a resulting information in a report. Zoom In will perform a detailed breakdown within the same data source. Drill Down will perform a detailed breakdown from related data sources.
Any non-BR output that should be saved with the report can be placed on a non-BR sheet during the report analysis.
Dataset Information
Report Mode provides Debug options, where one option can be used to display datasets created during execution and also the execution time for each dataset. This option is useful when analyzing performance issues in a report, providing the possibility to find the datasets in a report that consumes most of the total execution time. Please refer to Prerequisites.
In order to analyze a report, an executed Business Reporter report must be available.
If you want to zoom-in or drill-down a report, then these options should have been enabled in the report design.
To enter non-BR content to be saved as a part of the BR report, a non-BR sheet should be defined when designing the report.
Dataset Information
In order to analyze the execution time for each dataset in the executed report, it is necessary that the Debug option Display Dataset Information before Executing has been selected in the design mode in Report Options located in IFS Business Reporter ribbon.
