Trying to confirm something about Sharpshooter filter parameters within Sharpshooter itself.

I have a VIEW that defines what tables need to be related and how. Created a SF BO to be able to map the VIEW to a BO. Then created a Custom BBS on the BO.

Naturally until a call is made to fill the BO no data is filled.

If you reference the BBS in the Sharpshooter report as a Datasource, then put filter expression on the report as parameters, will Sharpshooter return:

A. All data to fill the BO and then filter based on the Sharpshooter filter expressions? , or

B. Does Sharpshooter generate a SQL SELECT with the parameters already built into the SELECT statement thereby returning only the ropws needed?

From what I can see, I believe "A." is what Sharpshooter does.

Hey Hector,



As Edhy mentioned, StrataFrame comes with a robust sample called StrataFlix which shows how to create a report using StrataFrame Business Objects. In this sample we just use RDL reports which can be downloaded for free and is commonly used by .NET developers. However, in our medical application we use (and recommend) Report Sharp Shooter by Perpetuum Software. We have been very pleased with this reporting engine and it has proven to be robust enough to handle some pretty major demands from within our medical application.
