An Interactive Reporting document file (BQY) is centered on data from queries (either relational or OLAP) or from imported data. Any number of queries and Data Models can supply the data in an Interactive Reporting document file (BQY) . An Interactive Reporting document file (BQY) can contain multiple queries with each query retrieving its data from a different database including: relational databases, imported data files, local files and OLAP servers. The Data Model aspects of the Interactive Reporting document file (BQY) are not visible to the end‑user, but the ability to refresh data that come from these sources is. An end-user can duplicate an existing query or create a query based on an existing Data Model.
Once a Interactive Reporting document file (BQY) has been created, it is saved toEPM Workspace Repository located on the server.
When the user selects and retrieves a Interactive Reporting document file (BQY) from the Section pane, the emphasis becomes one of viewing, refreshing, and analyzing of the Interactive Reporting document file (BQY) instead of the query, Data Model, data layout, and report building of the Interactive Reporting document file (BQY) .
