BI Publisher reports can be executed from Argus Safety UI or through the BI Publisher console. Table 3-1 explains the core components involved in the architecture diagram.

Table 3-1 Core Components of the Architecture Diagram

Component | Functionality
--- | ---
Argus Web Console | The first piece of the application for configuring Argus Safety. Handles the following: - Enabling the BIP module - Supplying the necessary BIP security credentials and setting up the persist duration - Setting up the report template path
Argus Web | Provides the report configuration for ICH PSUR and CTPR reports. Supplies the criteria that generates the case series. The batch print screen runs either a legacy periodic report or a BIP report based on user selection. It also lets you generate or reuse already generated case series.
AG Service | Internally invokes the BIP Periodic report through WebServices and runs the report in the background.
Argus Database - BIP Schema | New schema created during the schema creation that holds all objects used for generating the periodic reports. The objects in the schema are responsible for generating the data needed.
BIP Server | Server where BI Publisher reports are located and executed. Report output is temporarily stored in the BIP server.

For more information on the Argus Web Console, Argus Web, and AG Service, refer to the Argus Safety User Guide.

Note: The OAM server, if chosen, also needs authentication.
