Invoking a JADE Report Writer Application from JADE

Invoking a JADE Report Writer application from within the JADE development environment enables you to view the application, configure views, and design and load reports, but does not enable you to preview or run reports.

To preview or run reports, invoke your JADE Report Writer application from your own application and your own schema. For details, see "Invoking a JADE Report Writer Application from a User Application", earlier in this section.

To invoke a JADE Report Writer application from JADE

1. From the Schema Browser, select the JadeReportWriterSchema schema.

2. Perform one of the following actions.

   • Select the Run command from the Application menu in the Application Browser when the appropriate application is set as the current application (by double-clicking on that application, if it was not currently set).

   • Click the Run Application toolbar button.

   • Select the shortcut from your desktop, if applicable.

   The Run Application dialog is then displayed.

3. In the Application Name field, select the JADE Report Writer application that you want to run (that is, ReportWriterConfiguration or ReportWriterDesigner).

   This is not recommended for running the JADE Report Writer Designer application, since you cannot preview or print a report from within the JadeReportWriterSchema schema.

4. Click the OK button.

   The System Logon dialog for the selected application, shown in the following image, is then displayed.

   

5. Specify another user id in the Usercode text box, if required.

6. Click the Logon button. Alternatively, click the Shut Down button to exit from the JADE Report Writer application.
