Greetings,
I’ve just barely started testing Webi XI R2. I’m confused by the documentation that states “you can create Webi docs using one of several tools: Query - HTML, Java Report Panel, HTML Report Panel.” The descriptions of what each is best for don’t make sense to me. Any tips on why you would use one versus the others?
In the Infoview/WebI world there are two types of viewers to create and view the reports
Zero Client: HTML and DHTML viewer all the formatting of the reports is processed on the Web Server which increases the load on the server
Thin Client: Java or ActiveX which installs a plugin in the browser and the report formatting will be done on the client side which takes off the load from the server
For the HTML report panel you will not have all the features/flexibility which come with the Java Panel.
We currently deployed .net infoview using IIS on win 2003 / SQL SERVER. When I use Webi he always ask me to install the sun JVM. I want to use the html or dhtml query/report panel ! How could it be possible ?
