Using the Process Developer Report Template

You can create a new Process Developer report using the Process Developer Template.

1. Select File > New > Other > Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools > Report.
2. Name a new report, such as new_report.rptdesign, and click Next.
3. From the New Report page, select the Process Developer Template, as shown in the illustration.

4. Select Finish and accept the suggestion to open the report design perspective.

You can view the template components in the Outline view, as the illustration shows:

The template contains the following:

•Data Source Connection. This connection is pre-defined to point to the Derby database included with the Process Server. Derby includes an embedded JDBC driver. For details on the Data Source, see Using the Process Developer Data Source.
•Master Page Header and Footer. Double-click on a header or footer to view or change its properties.
•Styles. Several table row styles are included for reports with a data column layout.
•Script. When reports are deployed and running on the Process Server, the script, which is embedded in the report XML file, detects the Data Source connection information by using the supplied AeBirtContext class. For details, see Deploying a Process Developer Report.
