Report Scheduler
Introduction
The Report Scheduler allows you to schedule the automatic
generation of report at regular intervals. Report could be the result and the
concatenation of multiple report
script files.
The generated report could be saved in the user directory or global directory
and thus be available to WEB remote console user(s).
The report Scheduler uses Report Script File as entries ( .rep extension) and
provides Report as output file with .html extension). Reports are displayed
by a common WEB navigator.
A set of scripts could be saved as a template file and re used in other Plug-in
attached to other hosts.
Installation
Like other LoriotPro Directory Plug-in the Report Scheduler is attached to a Directory Host object. In the directory select the host to which you want to attach the Plug-in and from the contextual menu select -> Insert Task -> Report Scheduler.
Using Report Scheduler
After installation you get the Plug-in attached to your host.
If you click on the Report Scheduler plug-in in the directory you open the following Dialog box.
The window's fields are described in the table below
| Field | Description |
