If a user is working with a locally saved Interactive Reporting document and saves it to disk from the Interactive Reporting Web Client, the file is appended with version information. If the user opens the file again, the appropriate version of the Interactive Reporting Web Client is launched. After this, the Interactive Reporting Web Client checks the server version to connect to the server. If the server is newer than the current Interactive Reporting Web Client, the user is prompted to upgrade to the current version. In this case, the older version accesses the URL of the server, launches the zero administration page, and performs the upgrade. Interactive Reporting Web Client is opened from the disk using file name in the upgraded version.
If the Interactive Reporting document was created in previous versions of the Interactive Reporting Web Client or in the Oracle's Hyperion® Interactive Reporting Studio, the user is prompted for the version to use. The user can select from a list of versions of Interactive Reporting Web Client, including the 6.x version. If the user selects a 6.x version, no version record is attached to the document because there is no command on the Tools menu to open the document in another version of Interactive Reporting Web Client.
After Interactive Reporting Web Client is launched, the user can change the Interactive Reporting Web Client designated to open the document at any time by selecting the following options from the Tools menu:
