For saved user-defined reports, you can use the export client command line tool to run reports and export the report results for further external processing.
Before you begin
The export client tool wps_install_root/ProcessChoreographer/util/bpcobserverexporter.jar has to be installed on your local workstation.
Procedure
To run a report and export the report
result, use the command line to start the export client.
Enter the following command: java -jar bpcobserverexporter.jar options
On Linux and UNIX platforms,
enter: java -jar bpcobserverexporter.jar options
On Windows platforms,
enter: java -jar bpcobserverexporter.jar options
You can specify options directly on the command line in the format -option value -option value ..., or specify the name of a properties file. In the properties file the options have the format option=value. Options that are specified on the command line take precedence over those that are specified in a properties file.
Following options are valid:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| help | Shows usage information. |
| verbose | Shows additional information when the result is exported that you can use for debugging. |
| unicode | Exports the result in UTF-8 encoding. The default is the local operating system encoding. |
| o | Overwrites any existing file. The default is an error if the file already exists. |
| properties | This defines a fully qualified file name that contains additional options. |
| url | Complete URL where the Business Process Choreographer Explorer is running. The default is http://localhost:9080 |
| out | This defines a fully qualified filename to store the export result. The default is report name.csv. |
| userid | When security is enabled, a valid user ID is required. |
| password | When security is enabled, a valid password is required. |
| reportname | The name of a saved report definition is required. Export with the export client only works for saved user-defined report definitions that do not contain parameters. |
