The applications are Actuate BIRT Designer Professional, Interactive Viewer, Report Studio, and Viewer. The Java APIs provide programmatic access to BIRT iHub, dashboards, gadgets, charts, data objects, and reports. BIRT technology also includes access to data object and report document data sources, use of Actuate EasyScript, HTML 5 charts, HTML buttons, and page-level security. Actuate BIRT technology manages access to BIRT applications, dashboards, and reports in a volume.
An application programming interface (API) that presents BIRT report content in a web page. This API provides JavaScript classes for authenticating users, connecting to data sources, interacting with the user, generating reports, and viewing reports. This API is available in Interactive Viewer, Report Studio, and Information Console.
A resource extension installed with BIRT iHub that responds to RESTful requests. The REST API supports accessing and managing dynamic data built with Actuate BIRT technology and generating new documents for distribution to any mobile or web application.

Priorities can be set on an asynchronous job type. The job output, such as a report document, is not available for viewing until the job completes.
A list of changes to Metrics Management objects. The audit information includes the name of the user making the changes and the time of the change. The log is stored in the Metrics Management database.
A management capability that supports archiving and deletion of files stored in an Encyclopedia volume based on the age of the file, a specific date, or the number of versions.
An interface between BIRT iHub server processes and an external archive tool. The autoarchive driver uses the Online Archive Driver API to specify rules about the age of the file, a specific date, or the number of versions.
A process that increments the file version number to distinguish between files when a job or user creates a file using the same name as an existing file. For example, this feature supports generating and storing multiple report documents from a single executable file in an Encyclopedia volume.
