Report Configuration File
You can configure the details for new report in an XML configuration file. The configuration file ReportConfig.xml must look like the one below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
<properties version="1.0">
<entry key="com.centrasite.scheduledreport.Name"></entry>
<entry key="com.centrasite.scheduledreport.Description"></entry>
<entry key="com.centrasite.scheduledreport.Classifications"></entry>
</properties>
The contents of the configuration file are listed below:
Tag Name
Description
Name
(Mandatory). Name of the report.
Description
(Optional). The description for the report.
Classifications
(Optional). The classification of the report, which determines whether the report is shared or nonshared. The default is nonshared.
If you want to share the report with API Portal, then you mark it as a shared report.
If you do not have the classification marked as shared, then the report is automatically nonshared.
For multiple classifications, use a comma to separate the values.
Currently, CentraSite only supports the shared classification.
Here is a sample configuration file. The sample illustrates how you can add a new report with name API Usage Report, with description Short Description of the API Usage Report, and with the classification shared.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
<properties version="1.0">
<entry key="com.centrasite.report.Name">API Usage Report</entry>
<entry key="com.centrasite.report.Description">Short Description of the
API Usage Report</entry>
<entry key="com.centrasite.report.Classifications">shared</entry>
</properties>
