ReportBean

A MicroStrategy report is represented by a Report Bean. The ReportBean interface is used to manage the collection of report data and enable it to be rendered. It leverages many of the features of the WebBean and ObjectBean interfaces. It contains methods to access objects for report manipulation, prompt answering, and so on. It reuses the ObjectBean interface to allow a report to be retrieved by name (and with wildcards) and retrieve its parent folder bean as well.

This section discusses usage of the ReportBean interface in the context of the various steps involved in MicroStrategy report execution. The ReportBean interface is used to manage the collection of report data and enable it to be rendered.

• Setting or Restoring State  

• Setting Execution Properties  

• Report Execution and Data Retrieval
