IFS Extended Server Set Up
In order to run reports in IFS there should be an extended server. In this case it is JBOSS server which acts as the extended server. This has been illustrated using following diagram. System administrator has to start this prior to run reports.
IFS RACE Print Server Set Up
In order to preview and print reports, this print server has to be set up. Following diagram shows print server as service where administrator can start by RMB option.
Crystal Report Installation
For report layout design Crystal Reports have been used.IFS reporting tools supports Crystal reports as a third party application. For internal use I had to install seperate version of Crystal Report software.
Report Files (RDF)
These RDF files are used to write report logic in IFS applications.These files have been created using IFS Design tool initially and after that report logic has been completed according to requirements.Two reports have been developed to view weekly and monthly forecast details.In order to store data I had to create two tables using CRE files. Following diagram illustrates report files which have been created.

Report layouts have been designed using Crystal Reports to provide flexibility. Following diagram shows sample layout developed for Monthly forecast report.
