Generating or printing a document
The Factory service manages document generation and printing operations. Use these operations to run and print a document, schedule or cancel a job, and work with a parameter value file. Specifically, the Factory service supports:
Running a report or information object
Scheduling a report or information object as a job
Cancelling report or job generation
Creating a parameter values file
Extracting parameter definitions from or exporting parameter definitions to a file
Getting information about parameters, jobs, and job notices
Creating, updating, and deleting a resource group
Actuate’s open server functionality extends the Factory service to generate a third-party report executable file.
To focus attention on the relevant portions of operations, most of the examples in this section show only the SOAP body of a message.
