Report Files

A Report step may be inserted anywhere in a recipe and reports the activity of all parent nodes. Information in the report files includes all input and output parameters as well as run status (Incomplete, Pass or Fail). If programmed, a Report xml file will be generated. The xml file can be used as a data feed to generate multiple report formats. Use XSL Transformations (XSLT)—http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt to create a formatted output file from this xml file. Several default XSLT files (html and text) are provided (in ..\plugins\recipes\stylesheets\). You can also make your own xls translation file if you’re an advanced user to go from XML to any other text format. You can use the report file (or translated version) to integrate recipe output information with custom post processing software.
