Create a report program

With Genero Report Writer, you create the code to fetch and stream the data to the Genero Report Engine, to select the report design document, and to influence how the report is output, overriding default output settings or output settings specified in the report design document.

Genero Report Writer provides the ability to generate or write the data source, which defines the data that is to be streamed to the report engine.

Two tools exist to assist you in generating your Genero report application:

The Report Data Wizard provides an easy-to-use interface for creating the data source.
The Business Application Modeler allows you to diagram an application, of which the report is one component.

Once defined, a data source can be integrated into the code of your existing applications, or it can be included in a new custom reporting application. The use of the Genero Report Writer APIs allow further control over the processing of the reports.

The language you use to create your data source will likely be dependent upon the language used for your existing applications, as the goal is to have seamless integration of the Genero Report Writer code with these applications.
