Niagara - ReportService - Basic configuration

This document describes how to prepare a host for Niagara reporting in a few steps. Before starting, make sure that the 'UX' and 'WB' profiles are running on the device - the procedure for checking and starting them is described in the document Niagara - Enabled Runtime Profiles - Checking and enabling and also upload the station to the device in advance.

1. After logging in to the host platform in the 'WorkPlace', go to 'Software Manager', then select the 'report-rt', 'report-ux', 'report-wb' modules from the list and click the 'Install' button 'And then 'Commit' - after performing these steps, the 'jar' modules will be sent to the device.

Picture 1. Installing the modules responsible for 'ReportService' in the device using the 'Software Manager' tool.

2. After the correct installation, log in to the station and go (in the 'Nav' window) to the '/Config/Services' location (the 'Service Manager' view will open).

3. In the 'Palette' window, open the 'report' module, expand the 'Reporting' folder and (using the 'Drag & Drop' method) drag the 'ReportService' component to the 'Service Manager' view, thanks to which the service responsible for reporting will be launched on the device.

At a later stage, you can add reports, which is described in the Niagara - ReportService - Creating reports document.
