Use
The report exports the selected contents in the form of an XML file. You can use the output file for an import into MashZone and various BI tools supporting XML import. You can also start this report as a context Database, Group, Model, or Object. If you select a group, all subgroups are automatically included.
report for theScheduled reports are reports that start automatically at a defined point in time.
They run in the background and you can view the results later. For example, you can define that a report that strongly affects system performance is to run only at night when no one is working with the system.
For reports to be able to run completely automatically, dialogs must not be opened by the report during report execution. For reports that you cannot run automatically, the Opens dialogs check box is enabled on the properties pages.
You can deactivate a schedule to prevent automatic execution, but still keep the schedule in general. You can activate the schedule anytime.
The Scheduled reports group is displayed if you have the Report automation .
Use the following function privileges to control the users' authorizations.
Analysis tab
You can analyze dependencies between analysis objects and KPIs. All analysis objects contained in the database are displayed. The rule set defines this structure for the transfer of analysis objects. The graphic is used to display the structure of analysis objects.
You can evaluate KPIs using tables created with templates and relate the analysis objects, dimensions and KPIs to each other.
You can enter base KPI values. Fields with a blue background indicate calculated values. Fields with a white background are editable. Fields with a gray background are not editable and indicate KPIs that are not defined for the analysis object displayed in the dimension displayed (for example, because the rule set has now changed or because an analysis object no longer exists).
You have the following options:
Rename analysis groups
Select an analysis object and display its KPIs in the KPIs area
Obtain information on the composition of a KPI
Navigate through the structure of the analysis objects in the Graphic area
Create tables from templates
Deactivate analysis objects
Delete analysis groups
Open saved tables
Run what-if analyses
Edit values

Data management tab
You can manage data.
You have the following options:
Merge existing dimension combinations and/or analysis objects.
Delete existing dimension combinations
Deactivate dimension combinations
Activate saving points
Deactivate saving points
KPIs tab
You can enter base KPI values. Fields with a blue background indicate calculated values. Fields with a white background are editable. Fields with a gray background are not editable and indicate KPIs that are not defined for the analysis object displayed in the dimension displayed (for example, because the rule set has now changed or because an analysis object no longer exists).
Administration tab
You can import configuration files, and manage dimension types, dimensions, input screens, rule sets, table templates, users, and user groups.
Since this report has been developed for scheduled execution you cannot use dialogs. Therefore, you need to define export options in the report script by adapting the parameters of the variables:
Parameter |
Description (true) |
Standard (allowed) |
g_bExportCompleteGroupPaths |
Creates groups of items that you have implicitly selected for export in the XML file. Implicit items are, for example, items that you include in the export by enabling the Assignment level and Relationship level options. If you do not enable this option, these items will be created in the main group during a subsequent import. |
true (true/false) |
g_bExportFormatedAttrDefs |
Outputs formatted attribute definitions |
false (true/false) |
g_nHierarchyDepth |
Specifies the level up to which assignments are to be exported. |
0 (>= 0) |
g_bIsSimpleExport |
Restricts the export to the necessary items. For example, the graphic settings or GUIDs of specific items are not exported. The missing GUIDs are generated upon import, and other missing information is replaced with default settings. We recommend that you do not import the file generated during the export to ARIS because the missing GUID can result in redundant data in the XML file in ARIS (for example, fonts). |
false (true/false) |
g_nRelationDepth |
Specifies the depth to which object definitions linked by connections are to be exported too. |
0 (>= 0) |
g_bZipExport |
Compresses the output file in ZIP format. |
false (true/false) |
g_bAddDTD |
Transfers the DTD so that the output file is properly displayed locally. |
true (true/false) |
