  • The Genero DVM (Dynamic Virtual Machine) executes the BDL code to retrieve the data
  • The Genero DVM streams data from the database to the Genero Report Engine (GRE)
• The Genero Report Designer (GRD) graphically lays out the report
  • The Genero Report Engine (GRE) lays out paged streams to Genero Report Viewer (GRV)
• The Genero Report Viewer (GRV) (part of the Genero Desktop Client) displays the report on the client; alternatively, the report can be displayed as a PDF or Image, as an HTML or XML file, or output to an Excel spreadsheet.
