Report Studio is made up of two plugins, and both must be installed before you can use the product:
- The front-end plugin: This plugin handles the Report Studio UI and configurations. It is installed using the same process as any other QBeeQ plugin.
- The server-side (external) plugin: This plugin runs in the background to handle scheduling, delivery, storage, and rendering. Without it, the Report Studio UI will load, but scheduling and delivery won't work. It installs slightly differently from a standard QBeeQ plugin.
Install the QBeeQ Framework
Both plugins depend on the QBeeQ Framework already being installed and compiled. If you haven't installed the Framework yet, follow the steps in Installing the QBeeQ Framework before continuing here.
