How To
For configuring a BIRT report from VulCon you must follow three steps:
- 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. - 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.
- Add an Operation Node 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.
