Defining the Command Line Report Configuration

The first section of the report configuration file is indicated by the DOCTYPE and the report elements and tells the report client how to connect to the application server, which application to run the reports against, and where to output the report files.

The DOCTYPE element indicates the type of document being generated. Do not change this value.

To Define the Command Line Report Configuration

1. In the SYSTEM element, enter the location of the DTD file for the reports.

   By default, this file is named report.dtd, and is located in the config directory. You should not need to modify this attribute unless you move report.dtd

2. In the appserver element, enter the IIOP address for the application server.

   This must be in the format corbaname:iiop:host:port, where host is the name of the server and port is the ORB port number.

3. In the application element, enter the name of the primary object used by the master index application.

4. In the output-folder element, enter the location in which the generated reports will be placed.

   If an output directory is specified in the command line, that directory overrides the one specified here. If the output directory already exists, the report client issues a warning that any existing report files will be overwritten and gives you the option of cancelling the reports.
