Report Output Control (ROC) manages output for standard reports.
Control information is stored in the ROC database, while output is stored in COBOL text files.
You can view reports using the ROC client interface through any of the following clients.
Standalone Presentation Client
Presentation Client as a Browser Applet
ASP.NET Web Forms
VB.NET Winforms
WPF Client Container
Procedures for browsing reports are given in the ROC help file.
When a client sends a ROC request to the Windows Runtime, the Windows Runtime returns a Switch message to the client, and performs a switch to the ROC system. Switching to ROC is considered to be the same as an application switch. To enable the switching, you must configure the client environment for application switching. Remember the following points while switching between applications on Component Enabler (CE):
When the Runtime sends the Switch message, the system name being switched to is transferred with the message. This enables the client to execute the correct CE application. For example, Sample.
The generated bundle name for all the applications being switched to must be the same for all the applications. The Switch message that the Runtime sends does not contain information about the CE bundle name. Therefore, the CE client application assumes that the bundle name is same for all the applications being switched between.
The bundle name is established when the CE client connects to the first application.
Notes:
You should ensure that the ROC system for Windows is installed properly. Refer to the Agile Business Suite Installation and Configuration Guide for more information on installing the Report Output Control system.
The ROC system is installed successfully, only if the installation ends with the following message, “ROC deployment completed with status 0”.
