OpenEax

Syntax

OpenEaxResult OpenEax(OdId tObject, OpenEaxArg tArg)

Parameters

tObject. Moniker of the object that is an express report.

tArg. Parameter of express report opening.

Description

The OpenEax operation opens an express report and returns context for working with data and metadata.

Comments

To execute the operation, in the tObject parameter specify moniker of the object that is an express report, and in the tArg parameter specify parameters of opening. The object moniker can be obtained on executing the GetObjects operation. The tArg parameter may contain mode of express report opening (view or edit), values of the parameters to be sent to parametric data sources, and the pattern for extracting metadata. The pattern specifies the information to be retrieved on executing the operation. If the express report is opened for view without metadata extraction, the OpenEaxArg empty structure may be specified as the value of the tArg parameter.

The operation results in the opened express report instance moniker and also the metadata if an appropriate pattern was defined in the tArg parameter on executing the operation. To further work with the opened express report, use the GetEaxMd and SetEaxMd operations. To close the opened express report instance, use the CloseEax operation.

Use the following operations for further work with express report objects:
