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.
