About the DataStream Function
In Actuate, the term datastream refers to a collection of components that deliver data to the report. Because Siebel data access is accomplished through the Siebel Object Manager, queries are executed outside the Actuate environment. The role of the datastream is to create the Siebel Object Manager interface and deliver the formatted data row to the report design. Siebel Tools defines the variables required to execute the Siebel Object Manager automation; their values are determined by the requirements of the report design. The datastream variables, with their types and functions, are listed in Table 43.
