Prerequisites for Configuring Bursting

This topic lists the prerequisites for configuring bursting.

Before you define bursting in the data model and enable bursting in your report, make sure:

  • The administrator has configured the Publisher connections to data sources, delivery destinations, and the permissions to enable users to access resources.
  • You've defined a SQL query dataset or a dataset from Data Modeler for this data model.
  • The dataset is sorted or grouped by the element by which you want to split the data in your bursting definition.
  • The delivery and formatting information is available to Publisher. You can provide the information at runtime to Publisher in one of the following ways:
    • The information is stored in a database table available to Publisher for a dynamic delivery definition.
    • The information is hard-coded in the delivery SQL for a static delivery definition.
  • The report definition for this data model has been created and includes the layouts to be applied to the report data.
