| # Send Report Design and Receive Status (ttaad3247m000) Use this session to send a range of report designs to PRS or to check if PRS processed the designs correctly. You can send report designs and receive the design status. When the status in Production Reporting Services is ready for data processing, the Ready for Data Processing check box in the Infor BI Production Reporting Registered Reports (ttaad3546m000) session is selected. Infor LN first sends the design files to PRS. If you check the Receive Report Design Status from PRS check box, Infor LN reads the status files after Infor LN sends the design files. It takes a period of time for Production Reporting Services to process report designs before the status is available. The system may display an error message that indicates that Production Reporting Services did not yet create the status file on the Infor Blackboard. Refer to the “Troubleshooting” chapter in the Business Intelligence 1.3 for ERP LN Production Reporting Services User’s Guide to understand the actions you must take if the system displays an error message. Note The Blackboard is a folder on the Cognos 8 Business Intelligence server into which Infor LN transfers the design and data files. It also contains the report status file, which Infor LN uses to track the status of reports in the system. This session belongs to the Production Reporting Services (PRS) solution, a part of Business Intelligence for LN. You use Production Reporting Services to build Cognos 8 Business Intelligence reports from your existing LN reports.
