Running data-pull reports

Data-pull reports are viewed and run outside the HCL Compass Web client with the Report Launcher for HCL Compass server component and web interface. This functionality is available if the HCL Compass environment has been configured with the required reporting components. For more information about the report launcher and how to deploy it, see About the Report Launcher for HCL Compass. If these features are available, the Manage Reports toolbar button is shown in the HCL Compass Web client menu. Click the Manage Reports button to start the Report Launcher forHCL Compass web interface. For details on using the Report Launcher, see Using the Report Launcher for HCL Compass.

If the Manage Reports button is not active, an administrator can activate it by logging into the HCL Compass Web Client and specifying the Report Launcher for HCL Compass URL in the Report Server field on the Site Administration menu. The URL has a form similar to the following:

 http://server_host:12080/cqreportlauncher/reports
