Support of Business Objects (Crystal Reports)

Business Objects can be used to create reports of any kind from your data. Parameters are used to define the contents of these reports. With AE, you can create automated reports, send them by e-mail or store them as files. This function is provided by an MBean which is called by the AE agent for J2EE/JMX.

A stand-alone installation (without application server) is required for the agent.

Functions of the MBean "CrystalReports":

Assigning parameters to the report
Storing the report output as a file (Crystal Report, Excel, Word, PDF, RTF, text file)
Sending the report output to e-mail receivers

Log on to Business Objects with the user specified in the job's Login object. The login type to be used is "Enterprise".
