Selecting Output Types and Formats
You can choose from several file output types and formats for your process. The following table lists file output types by process type. The output type for PS/nVision is the same as the default output type on the PS/nVision Report Request page.
Note:
The Window output type is not available if the user does not have REN server Report Window permission, or no active REN server cluster is available for Reporting.
To grant access to the new browser window, the permission lists of the users must include full access for the Realtime Event Notification for Reporting Window and the WEBLIB_RPT web library with full access.
See Security Administration: Defining Permissions.
Note:
For Process Type XML Publisher, available output options are based on the BI report definition template type.
See BI Publisher for PeopleSoft: Creating Report Definitions.
