Daily data output
Where do I see how much data I have used?
On the top right of both the tutorial and in BIRT F-Type is a click-able meter that shows the daily data usage.
Will non-administrative users be able to see the usage meter, or only administrators?
All users will be able to see the usage meter to ensure that they are aware of their impact on the usage.
Will any user be able to upgrade, or renew the activation code after one year?
No, only administrators will see the Upgrade link in the usage meter popup. Similarly, only administrators will be able to see the Renewal link.
What activities use up my daily data quota?
Activities that count against the limit include:
*Running a report
*Viewing a report
*Saving a report
*Downloading a report
*Exporting a report to another format
*Scheduling a report or data object generation job
*Performing administrative activities, such as creating a user or user group
For more details please go to Monitoring the Daily Data Output.
What constitutes an exception? What happens if I hit an exception?
An exception is when you exceed your daily data limit. Throughout the whole time that you have BIRT F-Type running, you can go over the daily data quota twice without impacting your application. The third time and thereafter, the system will only allow you to do administrative tasks such as changing scheduled jobs, adding or deleting users. You will not be able to view or generate reports until the limit is reset at midnight (local time zone).
Information about exceptions can be found on the top right of both the tutorial and in BIRT F-Type in the click-able meter that displays the daily data usage.
What happens when I have used up my two exceptions and the system is in lockout mode?
Once you have exceeded your daily output more than twice, BIRT F-Type will go into lockout mode until midnight of the same day. At midnight (local time zone) the daily output limit will again start at 0. If you need more capacity, follow the Upgrade link in the dialog.
How can I increase my data capacity? What happens when I upgrade BIRT F-Type?
For increasing your daily data output limit, please follow the Upgrade link in the dialog to purchase additional capacity and apply for a new Activation Code:
1 Open the data usage dialog.
2 Enter the new code in the text box.
3 Click “Apply”.
The iHub service will restart automatically. After the iHub services restarts, the Account Login screen will be shown.
