Processing reports on a process server

Refer to the System
Administrator’s Guide
for more details.

If you are using the Distributed Process Server (DPS), you can choose to

process some reports on your computer or send them to a designated

process server on the network. Sending long reports to a process server

allows you to continue working while the reports are being created. You

can select the Human Resources reports you want to process remotely in

the DPS Setup window (Setup >> System >> Process Server). You must

have the Distributed Process Server registered and set up before you can

use this option.
