You can run Series 7 PowerPlay reports in the following formats:
If the HTML icon is visible, the report opens in PowerPlay Web Explorer.
If the PDF icon is visible, the report runs in the PowerPlay Web Viewer.
PowerPlay administrators can restrict who can open cubes. For information about publishing Series 7 PowerPlay reports and cubes in ACI, see the PowerPlay Enterprise Server Guide.
If you use secured Series 7 cubes, the namespace against which the cubes are secured must be configured as an authentication source in ACI. This namespace need not be the only authentication namespace or the primary logon for the user. For more information about configuring authentication namespaces see the Installation and Configuration Guide.
Before you can run or open Series 7 PowerPlay reports and cubes directly from ACI, you must have both PowerPlay 7.3 and ACI installed and configured. You also must have the following permissions:
execute and read permissions to run or open a report or cube
read and traverse permissions to access the folder that contains the report or cube
read and write permissions to set properties for cubes and reports
To run or open a Series 7 PowerPlay report, do the following:
In Reporting Center, click the report that you want.
Depending on the default action for the report, the report runs in either PDF format (default) or opens with PowerPlay Web Explorer.
If you have the required permissions, you can change the run options for Series 7 PowerPlay reports and cubes. For information about using PowerPlay Web Explorer and PowerPlay Web Viewer, see the PowerPlay Web User’s Guide.
Note: To run any Series 7 PowerPlay report in PowerPlay Web Explorer, click the open with PowerPlay Explorer button in the actions toolbar. You can also click More next to the report you want and then open the report in Report Studio. The migration and upgrade utilities must already be installed. For information about installing these utilities, see the Migration Tools Installation and Configuration Guide. When you open the report, it is upgraded to the format of the studio that you opened it in. If you save the report, it is saved in the upgraded format. There may be differences between the original PowerPlay report and the ACI version of the report. If you do not save the report, it remains a Series 7 PowerPlay report. For more information about upgrading Series 7 PowerPlay reports, see the Migration Tools User Guide.
