When an Interactive Reporting document file is exported in native file format, the EPM Workspace checks if the Interactive Reporting Web Client has been installed and if so, launches the Interactive Reporting document file in a browser. The Interactive Reporting Web Client is a special application file placed in a web browser’s plug-in directory. Plug-ins add seamless functionality to a web browser, enabling the browser to open a plug-in’s particular file type as if it were an HTML file.
Any changes made to the Interactive Reporting document file are not replicated to the original Interactive Reporting document file selected from the document list in the EPM Workspace Repository (which resides on the server and can only be changed by importing the Interactive Reporting document file again).
To export a file in native file format, select File, then Export, and then Native File Format.
If the Interactive Reporting Web Client has been installed, make any desired changes and save the document to the EPM Workspace Repository. If you do not have permission to overwrite the Interactive Reporting document file, use the Save To Repository As command to rename the Interactive Reporting document file and save it to the repository.
If the Oracle Hyperion Interactive Reporting Web Client has not been installed, the File Download dialog box opens. You can either open the Interactive Reporting document file from its current location, or you can export the file to disk and open it from an alternate location.
