Developing Reporting Applications

Feedback

Copyright © 2021 Information Builders

To develop self-service reporting applications for the web, you need software components that manage the flow from the time you begin to develop your project to the time a user launches a report request in a web browser and sees the results returned to the browser. A project is a WebFOCUS® application being developed on the local TIBCO WebFOCUS® Reporting Server. After building and testing a project, you can publish it as a web application.
