Publishing Resources from One Server to Another

You can publish resources in the resource tree of a Logi Report Server (source server) to another Logi Report Server (target server), using the TargetServerManager and TargetServer objects in the jet.server.api package of the Server API. This topic describes the methods in TargetServerManager and TargetServer.

TargetServerManager

The TargetServerManager object manages the TargetServer objects. You can get it using the method RptServer.getTargetServerManager().

See the methods in TargetServerManager:

• String createTargetServer(user, connectionProp)
  Creates the TargetServer object for the specified user using the designated connection properties. Returns the ID for the newly created TargetServer object; or throws exception when connectionProp is invalid.
  • user - The username used to sign in to the target server.
  • connectionProp - A property that contains the connection information.
• TargetServer getTargetServer(ID)
  Gets the TargetServer object of the specified ID. Returns null if there is not the TargetServer object for the current user; or throws exception when the TargetServer object is invalid.
  • ID - The ID of the TargetServer object.
    
• void deleteTargetServer(ID)
  Deletes the TargetServer object of the specified ID.
  • ID - The ID of the TargetServer object.
• Properties getConnectionProp(ID)
  Gets the connection properties stored in the specified TargetServer object.
  • ID - The ID of the TargetServer object.

TargetServer

The TargetServer object indicates the target server. It contains username and connection properties. Each username corresponds to one TargetServer object.
