Understanding Batch Versions Submitted from the Web Client

On the web client, you can double-click a report from a menu or access the Submit Jobs application to submit batch versions. All batch versions submitted from the web client are processed on the server.

To make a new report template available from the web client, perform these steps:

1. Check in the report template and all associated batch versions.

2. Include the report template and batch versions in a package.

3. Deploy the package to the enterprise server.

4. Generate the report template and associated batch versions to HTML.

When you create a new batch version from Microsoft Windows for a report template that has already been deployed and generated to HTML, perform these steps to make the new batch version available from the web client:

1. Check in the version specifications.

2. Copy the version specifications to the server.

3. Generate the batch version to HTML.

This table describes runtime options available when you process batch versions from the web client:

Runtime Options from the Web Client	Description
Override the location	Enables you to override the processing location; when you submit the batch version, the system presents you with a list of available servers from which to choose.
Modify printer selection	Enables you to change the printer used for the report and select the number of copies to print.

To increase performance for viewing reports on the web client, the system administrator can activate the page-at-a-time functionality. The settings to activate the page-at-a-time functionality are located in the jde.ini and the jas.ini. The page-at-a-time functionality enables you to view portions of the report while the report continues loading.
