10 Conclusion

The Enterprise Manager is used to administer the server by providing an interface to the configuration files. The configuration files are stored in a single repository directory. The Enterprise Manager is a servlet known as AdmServlet.

Style Intelligence allows the server side reports (known as replets) to be deployed in the embedded Jetty server or another application server of choice. Deployment of an entire repository is automated for several popular application servers; otherwise it can be deployed manually.

An archive service is also provided. Reports can be archived using either the file system or CVS (Concurrent Versioning System). CVS is usually packaged with UNIX servers, and is available for download from the Internet.

Additionally, Style Intelligence provides a scheduling service. Scheduled reports can be saved in a particular format, delivered by email, saved in an archive, or printed. In order for this function to work, email, archiving, printers, etc., must first be set up for the reporting server environment in the Enterprise Manager.

A security service is also provided, which allows groups to be created and allows users to belong to those groups. Once these groups are set up, resources can have permissions associated with them, only allowing particular users, or users with particular roles, or users belonging to a particular group to view them. It is also possible to obtain user and group information from a directory server.
