The purpose of publishing a report to iServer is to make it accessible to a large number of users. A published report is available to manage, meaning you can schedule re-running the report to include updates from the data sources. You can also choose who can access part or all of the report.
Actuate BIRT Designer Professional provides tools for easy deployment of reports, templates and their resources to iServer. The designer connects directly to an iServer and deploys the reports to selected iServer folders. The designer provides an iServer Explorer view for managing iServer connections. Using iServer Explorer, you can create iServer connection profiles to store the connection properties to a specific Encyclopedia volume. Figure 26-1 shows iServer Explorer displaying an iServer profile.
