This task defines the report in the ReportDefinitions.xml file in the IBM® Enterprise Records server. This file is at <ier_install_path>\Config\ ReportDefinitions.xml. For example: C:\Program Files\IBM\EnterpriseRecords\Config\ReportDefinitions.xml.
To Define the report in ReportDefinitions.xml:
<object key="reportDefinition">
<setting key="id">42</setting>
<setting key="title" localizationKey="server.report_title.42">Physical
Records by Media Type Created within a Specific Period</setting>
<setting key="desc" localizationKey="server.report_desc.42"> This
report lists the physical records that were created within a specific
period and with a specific media type.</setting>
<setting key="url">RMViewReport.jsp</setting>
<setting key="img">images/action/report.gif</setting>
<setting key="reportName" localizationKey="server.report_name.42">Physical
Records By Media Type Created.rpt</setting>
<array key="excludedObjectStores"/>
<list key="properties">
<object key="property">
<setting key="symbolicName">fileplan_browse</setting>
<setting key="required">1</setting>
</object>
<object key="property">
<setting key="symbolicName">start_date</setting>
<setting key="required">1</setting>
</object>
<object key="property">
<setting key="symbolicName">end_date</setting>
<setting key="required">1</setting>
</object>
<object key="property"> <setting key="symbolicName">media_type</setting>
<setting key="required">1</setting>
</object>
<object key="property">
<setting key="symbolicName">report_type</setting>
<setting key="required">0</setting>
</object>
</list>
</object>
The XML nodes and values are as follows:
- The id must be unique across all report definitions in the XML.
- The id is used as part of a unique localizationKey. For example, localizationKey="server.report_title.42”
- The title and description must be unique because they are shown in the IBM Enterprise Records web user interface.
- The default values for url and img are RMViewReport.jsp, images.gif, action.gif, and report.gif. Do not change these values.
- The report name must match the report template file name that you created in Crystal Report Designer, without the prefix of Detailed or Summary.
- On the properties list, specify the exact same symbolic name as in the Content Platform Engine property template for each report parameter.
- The last property must be report_type, which is used to show the Detailed or Summary option.
