rep_batch_report

Used in batch or shell script files to generate reports in batch mode when the user selects the Batch mode option in the Generate ME Report dialog box. The following administrative tasks must be performed to enable batch reporting: Create a report request flat file containing default values and details of item ID, revision ID, operating system report location, Teamcenter report location, report format, revision rule, variant rule, transfer mode, and status. The format of the file is as follows: Copy __Start of format start_global_definitions User ID user_name Password user_name TC_ROOT w:\iman_wnti TC_DATA w:\src\iman\data Default Report Location Teamcenter # possible values are OS or Teamcenter Default OS Location C:\temp\Reports Default Revision Rule Latest Working Default Saved Variant Rule DemoVariantRule Default Transfer Mode web_reports Default Formatter : Product_Structure.xsl Delimiter ~ end_global_definitions start_data_definition #ItemIDRevisionReport LocationOS LocationRevision RuleSaved Variant Rule Transfer ModeFormatterStatus 000234AOS~~~MyVariantRule~~Standard Product~ end_data_definition

In addition, you can manually append data to an existing batch_request file and run the utility. Schedule a task in the operating system. Select the program and specify the execution date and time. The utility performs the following activities: Reads the location of the report request flat file from the value of the Batch_Report_Request_File preference. Reads the global definition values. Parses each line in the flat file, checks the status field of the line, and processes the line if the status is not success. An XML file is generated for each line in the file, using the revision rule, variant rule, and closure rule associated with the transfer mode. If the rules are not specified in the line, default rules are used. The report format (style sheet) is applied on the XML file and report HTML files are generated. The datasets are exported during the transformation. If the report location is specified as Teamcenter, the dataset is created and the files generated are attached to the item revision, including the exported dataset files. If the report location is specified as OS, the reports are saved at the OS location specified in the file. Create or update the log file for the process. Update the status field once the line is processed. Syntax rep_batch_report [-u=user-id {-p=password | -pf=password-file} -g=group] -h Arguments -u Specifies the user ID. This is generally a user with administration privileges. Note If Security Services single sign-on (SSO) is enabled for your server, the -u and -p arguments are authenticated externally through SSO rather than being authenticated against the Teamcenter database. If you do not supply these arguments, the utility attempts to join an existing SSO session. If no session is found, you are prompted to enter a user ID and password. -p Specifies the password. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -pf argument. -pf Specifies the password file. For more information about managing password files, see Manage password files. This argument is mutually exclusive with the -p argument. -g Specifies the group associated with the user. If used without a value, the user's default group is assumed. -h Displays help for this utility. Environment As specified in Setting up a Teamcenter command-line environment. Files As specified in Log files produced by Teamcenter. Restrictions None.
