Publish reports

You can publish spreadsheet reports to the AVEVA Information Server. When you publish a report, the report information is stored in special tables in the AVEVA Historian, and the file is copied to a folder on the AVEVA Information Server. When you publish a report, AVEVA Information Server users can view the report you published with only the browser software.

Published reports are of two types:

• Static. For a static report, data is retrieved at the time the report is published to the AVEVA Information Server. After that, its content remains static and does not change when users access it.

• Dynamic. For a dynamic report, new data is retrieved from the database every time a user requests the report.

Note the following restrictions when publishing reports:

• Do not publish shared workbooks.

• If you create reports that use the wwHistory2 and wwWideHistory2 data retrieval functions introduced in ActiveFactory 9.2 (for example, reports created using the History Values wizard), do not publish them to a AVEVA Information Server.

• The AVEVA Information Server must be associated with the same AVEVA Historian(s) as the spreadsheet you want to publish.
