Selecting Run and View in BIRT Spreadsheet Deployment Kit instructs the server to process a spreadsheet executable (.sox) or document (.soi) immediately and display the result in the selected format. When the job successfully finishes, the generated report appears.
When you choose to run and view a report, Deployment Kit waits a fixed amount of time, 20 seconds by default, for the server to respond. If a job takes longer than the designated wait period to generate, Actuate Deployment Kit stops waiting for the report and displays a time-out message.
