The architecture of WebFOCUS App Studio makes configuring NLS easy and transparent. Its components include:
- WebFOCUS Reporting Server. Handles the selection of records from data sources and the generation of report output from those data sources. The data
access component can handle data in ANSI (Windows) format. For information on configuring the WebFOCUS Reporting Server for
NLS, see Configuring the WebFOCUS Reporting Server for NLS.
- WebFOCUS Client. Resides on the web server and application server. It connects the WebFOCUS Reporting Server to the web through the CGI, ISAPI,
or Java servlets. You must set the code page for the client, using the WebFOCUS Administration Console, to tell the Reporting
Server how to format the data for the WebFOCUS Client platform. The WebFOCUS Client code page setting controls transcoding
of data when a report is run. For information on configuring the WebFOCUS Client for NLS, see Configuring a WebFOCUS Client for NLS.
- App Studio. Consists of graphical development and code generation tools that can write or read procedures and synonyms in ANSI format.
