Do data of report from IFS Business Reporter tool is stored in database the same way as report from IFS Report Designer tool(in %_REP table)?

I need to create XML for tax purpose in correct form. Data for XML are coming from report(IFS Business Reporter) and I find solution to do this by use function “Get XML Data” from Report Archive:

Then using IFS connect I can import generated XML to IFS and transformed it to the correct form of XML. 

But maybe there is more simple way to do that?

Hi!

I know that when the BR report logic is converted into SQL statements and executed on the server side, the resultset in stored in an xml -format on the server side. The xml -data is then transferred to the BR client to be rendered in MS Excel.

 

But I have never heard of getting hold of and/or using that xml -file for other purposes...

 

When using BRES you can from the BRES administration window export the DSRD to a file, that includes the data for the report. But I don’t know if you can use that file/data in some way?

 

Regards,
