How To

Birt-report-call VulCon Configuration

For configuring a BIRT report from VulCon you must follow three steps:

1. Add a new report in the GVBIRTReportConfiguration.
   This elements is present in the Adapters view. You can create a new ReportGroup or use an existing one. Right clicking the apposite ReportGroup you can add a new Report and configure it.
2. Add a birt-report-call. From the Core view, right click the apposite Channel and select birt-report-call from the expanded list. Set the groupName and reportName attributes as those configured in the first step.
3. Add an GVOperationNode into your Service Flow (or SubFlow) and set the attribute operation-name with the name of the birt-report-call created in the second step.

Then you can create the BIRT Report using GV Console^®. For more information see the GV Console Report section.
