Processing Queries

After you build your query and apply filters, computations, sorts, and any other adjustments to further refine your request, you need to process it. Processing your query may take a few moments if your query is complex or if the data in linked report sections needs to be refreshed.

When you process your query, the data is retrieved to the Results section in tabular form. You can reprocess your query at any time and in any section to refresh the data. You can also return to the Query section from any other section at any time to alter the query and reprocess it.

  To process a query:

  • Click Process on the standard toolbar. (Click the right-arrow to select a process option.)

  • Select Tools, then Process Query and select the desired process option.

Since an Interactive Reporting document file can contain multiple queries, there are three processing options on the Process drop-down list:

The query is sent to the database and retrieved data is displayed in the Results section. While the data is retrieved, the Status bar displays a dynamic row count indicating rate and progress of server data processing and network transfer.

Note:

In the Interactive Reporting Web Client, a ZException might occur if you attempt to process a large query. To process larger queries successfully, increase the value of the DAS property "mdd Partial Result Cell Count", and then restart DAS.
