Create View Report actions produce HTML reports
from View datasets. Each report generated by the action is stored in a
folder underneath the LiveCompare user data directory. If the Create View
Report action’s ‘Fixed’ parameter is set to ‘false’, its reports are stored
in the following time-stamped directory:
<LiveCompare user data dir>\public\Reports\<Workspace
Name>\<Report Name>_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS
If the Create View Report action’s Fixed
parameter is set to ‘true’, its reports are stored in the following directory,
which does not include a time stamp:
<LiveCompare user data dir>\public\Reports\Report_<Workspace
Name>\<Report Name>
Action Property
Description
Fixed
A Boolean
parameter which indicates whether the Create View Report action will
generate fixed location reports. If this parameter is set to ‘true’, the
action stores its report in the Report_<Report Name> directory; this directory will be removed and then recreated
each time the action is run. If the Fixed parameter is set to ‘false’,
a new report will be generated in its own time-stamped directory each
time the action is run.
Each fixed location report in a workspace should
normally have a different value for its Report Name parameter. This
will ensure that each workflow’s Report URL dataset points to the expected
report.
Report Name
A String parameter
which stores the name of the report. If the Fixed parameter is set to
‘true’, the generated report is named Report_<Report Name>. If the
Fixed parameter is set to ‘false’, the generated report name includes
a time stamp indicating when the report was created.
Report URL
A String dataset
which is set to the URL of the generated report.
Row Status to Show
A String
List parameter defining the row comparison statuses to appear in the
report. The String List parameter may contain the values ‘Same’, ‘Different’,
‘In1’ or ‘In2’. If this action property is not set, all
comparison statuses are shown.
Source
A View dataset
which provides the source data for the report.
Generated View
reports may be accessed by double-clicking the Report URL dataset,
or choosing ‘View Details’ from the dataset’s context menu. They may also
be accessed from a workspace’s Reports folder in the LiveCompare hierarchy.
Choose ‘Reload Children’ from the folder’s context menu to list any newly-generated
reports.
Example:
To examine the details
for a Create View Report action, double-click the action node, or select
‘View Details’ from the node’s context menu. The Details screen displays
the number of tables included in the report and the time taken for the
action to complete.
