Automatic Distributed Refresh (ADR) is a sophisticated version control feature that transparently updatesInteractive Reporting when the data model or standard query is changed in the document repository. ADR operates completely in the background without any user interaction
ADR assumes that:
Each object in the BRIOOBJ table has a unique ID number.
Each object is assigned an iterative version number each time it is altered and uploaded.
Data model objects are typically downloaded from the document repository intoInteractive Reporting document files that are used to analyze data through pivots, charts, and other reports. When a user saves work to an Interactive Reporting document files on disk (either a local hard disk or file server), Interactive Reporting Studio stores both a link to the source object (which was downloaded from the document repository) and the connection information needed to reconnect to the repository.
