The Batch Reporting Service makes it possible to correlate information from Personalization module applications to SQL database tables. You run the Batch Reporting Service at intervals to allow new information to be gathered from a repository into a dynamically generated database table. This service formats information into tables as follows:
Collects content from repository
Generates content groups
Maps content to content groups
Maps profiles to profile groups
These tables are necessary for content or profile related reports to be generated with up-to-date information. The Batch Reporting Service is a Dynamo service, so you can schedule it to run at convenient times.
The Batch Reporting Service component is located at:
/atg/reporting/tools/BatchReportingService
The Batch Reporting Service is initially turned off. You can turn on the Batch Reporting Service by setting the following property:
enableBatchReporting=true
Also, you need to add the Batch Reporting Service to Initial Services.
You can configure the Batch Reporting Service to do the following:
set the schedule on which the Batch Reporting Service gathers information
point to a repository
point to a registry service
Note: You should not run the Batch Reporting Service on an ATG instance that serves a live site.
