A report publication system includes a first set of report management
servers defining a first cluster supporting a common report management
architecture. A first set of client machines operate in accordance with
the common report management architecture. The first client machines are
configured to access the first cluster. A second set of report management
servers defines a second cluster supporting the common report management
architecture. A second set of client machines operate in accordance with
the common report management architecture. The second client machines are
configured to access the second cluster. A first client machine of the
first set of client machines invokes a report on the first cluster to
form a published report with a designated destination address. The
published report is exchanged between the first cluster and the second
cluster via the Internet in accordance with the destination address. A
second client machine of the second set of client machines accesses the
published report through the second cluster.
