Reporting

This module allows processes to programmatically trigger reports. When enabled the process will;

  • connect to the QR framework
  • pull report instance definitions and actions from Control.
  • allow the process to execute reports on the report generator

To enable the client functionality, use .rpt.client.enable. This takes a callback function to be executed when the QR registration is complete. Once this happens, the client will be able to execute reports.

.rpt.client.enable

Enables reporting client functionality. Registers with the QR framework and loads reports from Control.

Parameter:

Name Type Description
callback symbol | fn Function or lambda called after registration

Example:

 .rpt.client.enable[{[] rptsAvailable::1b}]

.rpt.client.getInstance

Get report instance definition

Parameter:

Name Type Description
instance symbol Report

Returns:

Type Description
dict Report details

Example:

 .rpt.client.getInstance[`DS_FX_DAILY_DATA_TODAY]
 /=> report             | `DS_FX_DAILY_DATA

.rpt.client.runDict

Runs a report instance with specific parameters and actions. Parameters to the report and actions can be specified to override the defaults. Can optionally override the report target and timeout values.

The dict parameter format is described below (R - required, O - optional);

key required description
params Y same as .rpt.client.runActions
actions Y same as .rpt.client.runActions
target N connection or instance name
timeout N report timeout

Parameters:

Name Type Description
instance symbol Report
dict dict Report parameters
opts dict QR options
callback symbol | fn Functional callback

Returns:

Type Description
long Run ID

Example:

 params:`startDate`symList`endDate!("today"; "ALL"; "tomorrow")
 actions:([] action:`dxReportSaveToCSV`dxReportSaveToCSV; pname:`csvfilename`csvpath; param:("DAILYDATA_TODAY_$STARTDATE$"; "ENV=DELTADATA_HOME=/DeltaFxEvalData/reports"))
 callback:{.log.out[.z.h; "ran report instance"; ()]}
 .rpt.client.runDict[`DS_FX_DAILY_DATA_TODAY; `params`actions`target`timeout!(params; actions; `ds_gw_fx_eval; 30i); ()!(); callback]
 .rpt.client.runDict[`DS_FX_DAILY_DATA_TODAY; `params`actions!(params; actions); ()!(); callback]

.rpt.client.run

Runs a report instance. Uses the default report parameters and actions.

  • opts - optional parameter for dictating how the QR handles the request. See .qr.client.sendRequest for more info
  • callback - function or lambda to execute when report is accepted or rejected. Should take a single parameter.
