Overview
As discussed in
Choosing a Report Data Source, there are three types of data sources that a report can use: Browse, FinancialAPI, and Proxy. The implementation of the Proxy data source is a Progress program that resides on the .NET Progress AppServer. This section describes how to create such a program.
This program serves as the data source provider that retrieves data from the database, constructs datasets, and passes them to Report Designer or Report Viewer through Progress Open Client for .NET to generate reports.
The following diagram illustrates the context in which a Progress data source program is run.
Data Source Program Context
Implementing the data source program entails the following two steps:
1 Develop the data source program code.
2 Deploy the data source program on the QAD .NET UI Application Server.
