Hi Anuj,

I had performed a sample test on both the activities by calling them in my custom activity, for pxShowReport call it had opened the report data in the browser window while running the custom activity. Whereas for pxRetrieveReportData activity call it doesn't show the report data in the browser.

So i can say that pxShowReport activity can be used to show the report data which can't be achieved with pxRetrieveReportData activity.

Hope this might help you.

Regards

Mahesh

pxRetrieveReportData  retrieves the data from the Report that we call by using Call Rule-Obj-ReportDefinition .

pxRetrieveReportData  Serves as  an API to dynamically change FilterConditions, Maximum Number Of Records that we can retrieve by calling a Report ,Sort Order and Sort Type of the parameters that are included in the Report  ,PagingEnabled and PageSize by using  Property-Set method in the Activity.

pxShowReport will launch the report in new window it doesn't have capabilities like pxRetrieveReportData  .

Thanks,

Arun
