Enabling Role-Based
Report Views of Regulatory
Compliance Status |
VoyenceControl NG Compliance Report Manager Bundles JReport to Provide Easy-to-Understand Compliance Reports Related to SOX, HIPAA, GLB and Other Regulations
Jinfonet Software, Inc. and Voyence, a technology visionary in automating network change and configuration management, today announced Jinfonet's JReport has been embedded into VoyenceControl NG Compliance Report Manager as the report development environment and reporting engine. VoyenceControl NG Compliance Report Manager is a new reporting suite that provides visibility into whether critical network resources are configured in compliance with government regulatory requirements (Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, Gramm-Leach Bliley, etc.), internal standards or industry best practices for change management.
The value of VoyenceControl NG Compliance Report Manager lies in the product's ability to help the numerous levels in an organization to address their specific roles related to regulatory compliance. The benefits range from giving IT managers the ability to track approved or non-approved device changes to providing executives with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 302 sign-off requirements. VoyenceControl NG Compliance Report Manager provides role-based report views which allow the network engineer, network manager, change manager, IT director and CIO to view and manage only those areas of compliance for which they are responsible.
JReport's pure Java architecture and rich set of application programming interfaces (APIs) enable seamless integration and customization of reporting within the Voyence offering. The Voyence product "listens" within the network and determines if there has been a violation of required network configurations. This information is then presented to end-users through JReport Live™. Users can modify, filter, search, sort and drill down within reports to obtain data views relevant to their role in regulatory compliance.

Providing Sophisticated Reporting for Grid-based
Web Applications |
Partnership Boosts Application Performance and Data Analysis/Presentation for Web Based Applications Operating within an Enterprise Grid Infrastructure
Jinfonet Software, Inc. and DataSynapse, Inc., a global provider of virtual application infrastructure software, announced that they have combined forces to provide a joint solution for sophisticated reporting that can be executed across a virtualized infrastructure enabled by DataSynapse FabricServer™ software. JReport , Jinfonet's flagship product, is being certified to run on FabricServer, and Jinfonet engineers will build a FabricServer integration module for JReport .

With DataSynapse's FabricServer, Web-based applications can be virtualized to run across a pool of shared, heterogeneous resources while appearing as a single system to the end-user. By pooling resources rather than creating and supporting specific applications with dedicated computing resources, IT organizations can "right size" their Web application environments – matching specific application demand with only those resources necessary to satisfy that demand. The solution increases utilization and allows resources to be reallocated elsewhere as needed. IT organizations can now deliver greater performance at lower total cost for their Web applications.

JReport Tech Tip:
DHTML Reports with Custom Toolbars Based on End-User Role |
JReport's DHTML feature allows one published report to do the job of many reports. End users can filter, search, sort and drill down within reports to obtain the data view that they are interested in. The way that end users perform these tasks is by using the DHTML toolbar. By default the toolbar appears as follows:

You can create customized versions of this toolbar by removing the buttons for tasks that are not relevant to the report. For example, if some end users are to be restricted from filtering, you can remove the filter button. At runtime, JReport automatically provides the appropriate custom version of the toolbar based on the end user login.
The custom toolbars can be implemented in one of two ways:
| |
• |
If you use the JReport Enterprise Server security realm, specify the toolbar settings in dhtmlPreference.properties.
Each end user can have a personal folder with the same name as their user name under <install_root>\realm\defaultrealm that stores this property file. Change the property values to show/hide the buttons on the toolbar. A setting of true means to show the button and false means to hide the button:
#Thu Nov 17 14:57:36 EST 2005
dhtml.refresh=true
dhtml.filter=true
dhtml.style=true
dhtml.report.max_reports.edit=false
dhtml.report.timeout.edit=true
dhtml.master.default=true
dhtml.saveresult=true
dhtml.print=true
dhtml.drill=true
dhtml.popup.default=true
dhtml.menubar=true
dhtml.frame=true
dhtml.search=true
dhtml.locktimeout=180
dhtml.zoom=true
dhtml.autorefresh=false
...
The default dhtmlPreference.properties file is at <install_root>\realm\defaultrealm\admin. |
| |
|
|
| |
• |
If you are using external authentication and there are no user folders under <install_root>\realm\defaultrealm, call the customizeToolbar() method to customize the toolbar settings.
| public void customizeToolbar |
(java.lang.String id, int buttonId, boolean isVisible) |
| id |
The report runtime id or the user session id. When it is the user session id, the method will influence both all opened reports in the session and the following ones. When it is the report runtime id, it only influences the report specified by this runtime id. |
| buttonId |
The buttonId constant for the toolbar. The buttonId argument is an integer bitmask that can be DHTMLConstant.BTN_UNDO, DHTMLConstant.BTN_REDO, DHTMLConstant.BTN_SEARCH, DHTMLConstant.BTN_PREVIOUS_SEARCH, DHTMLConstant.BTN_NEXT_SEARCH, DHTMLConstant.BTN_FILTER, DHTMLConstant.BTN_SORT, DHTMLConstant.BTN_SAVE, DHTMLConstant.BTN_PRINT, DHTMLConstant.BTN_REFRESH, DHTMLConstant.BTN_RESET, DHTMLConstant.BTN_EXIT, DHTMLConstant.BTN_HELP, and DHTMLConstant.BTN_ALL, or a bitwise union of them (for example, DHTMLConstant.BTN_UNDO | DHTMLConstant.BTN_REDO). |
| isVisible |
Whether the buttons are visible; true or false. |
For example, to hide the filter button from the toolbar, you can call the method from your JSP page as follows:
String userId = us.getID();
Service.customizeToolbar(userId,DHTMLConstant.BTN_FILTER,false); |
