Adding report bundles

When you create an ODF report bundle, the optional values for the report bundle fields can be inherited from the distribution to which this report bundle is associated.

To make the report bundle inherit values from a distribution, when you create the report bundle, leave those fields blank. For example, if you want the report bundle to inherit the Destination value from the distribution, when you create the report bundle, leave the Destination field blank. If you do not want the report bundle to inherit values from the distribution, then specify values for the report bundle fields when you create the report bundle. The values that you enter in the report bundle fields override the values from the distribution.

For all optional parameters, you have two choices:
  • Leave them blank. During processing, ODF inherits the values that you specified for these parameters when you created the distribution. If a value is changed in the distribution, the value in the report bundle does not need to be changed.
  • Specify values for them. ODF uses the values that you specify for these parameters and overrides the values from the distribution.

A Content Manager OnDemand administrator wants to create a new ODF report bundle. The administrator created the rptBundleAdd.xml file that contains the report bundle information.

To complete this task, run this command:

arsxml update -h myod -u myoduser  -p myodpwd -v  -i /usr/lpp/ars/V10R5M0/bin/xml/samples/rptBundleAdd.xml

The rptBundleAdd.xml file might look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
