Purpose

BipSaveOutputOnFs=

0 or 1

A value of 1 enables the archiving of report definition output. The default value is 0 (zero).

BipOutputDirectory=

Any valid path to an output directory on the enterprise server operating system.

Defines the archive location for the BI Publisher report output. The path will vary, depending on your platform. Examples are:

Windows NT: e:\bipoutput\

UNIX: /u02/ddp/bipoutput

IBM i (always on IFS): /jde/bioutput

If the BipSaveOutputOnFs value is 0, archiving is turned off and report output is saved only in the F96531 table, not in the file system. Consequently, the report output is not searchable because PDF output is stored in a compressed blob field in the table.

Archiving is turned on when the BipSaveOutputOnFs value is 1. BI Publisher output is saved in the F96531 table in the database, and the physical files are preserved in the output location specified by the BipOutputDirectory setting. Contrary to the report output in F96531, the physical report files in the archive are searchable.
