Note: This feature does not apply to Desktop Intelligence and Web Intelligence document objects.
Before you can apply your processing extensions to particular objects, you must make your library of code available to each machine that will process the relevant schedule or view requests. The BusinessObjects Enterprise installation creates a default directory for your processing extensions on each Job Server, Page Server, and Report Application Server (RAS). It is recommended that you copy your processing extensions to the default directory on each server. On Windows, the default directory is C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32_x86\ProcessExt
. On UNIX, it is the bobje/processext
directory.
Tip: It is possible to share a processing extension file. For details, see Sharing processing extensions between multiple servers.
Depending upon the functionality that you have written into the extension, copy the library onto the following machines:
Note: If the processing extension is required only for schedule/view requests made to a particular Server Group, you need only copy the library onto each processing server in the group.
subfolder/filename
Note: Although the actual file name must include the .dll or .so extension (as appropriate to the server's operating system), you must not include the file extension in the Location field.
You can now select this processing extension to apply its logic to particular objects. For details, see Selecting a processing extension for a report.
Tip: To delete a processing extension, select its check box and click Delete. (Make sure that no recurring jobs are based on this processing extension because any future jobs based on this processing extension will fail.)
