Custom Reports

You can add new custom reports in the latest version of AVEVA Batch Management.

Creating the Custom Report

To create localized custom reports:

1. Create an SSRS report using Visual Studio. You can also start with an existing AVEVA Batch Management report template file (RDL).

2. Add your desired report format and localized captions. You have to create your own language specific report manually since the application does not translate captions or data internally.

For more information on upgrading pre-11.5 custom reports, refer to the AVEVA Batch Management Custom Report Update Guide.

Adding the Custom Report

To add the custom report:

3. Browse to the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ReportWeb\ReportConfig location, and open the RptServicesConfig.xml file.

4. Add the newly created custom report (.rdl) name and description in the RptServicesConfig.Xml file.

NOTE: You may get an "Access Denied" error message while changing the file directly. To avoid it, you can copy the RptServicesConfig.xml file in some other folder and edit the file. Replace updated file to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ReportWeb\ReportConfig location.

5. Start the AVEVA Batch Management Reports Administration portal.

6. Click the Configuration icon. The Report Configuration page appears.

7. Click Add Report. The Add Report Config page appears.

8. Specify the new report details and select the defined Custom Report from the Report Template list.

9. Click Add Report. The Custom Report is added.

Scheduling the Custom Report

10. Start the AVEVA Batch Management Reports Administration portal.

11. Click the Schedule icon. The Report Schedule page appears.

12. Click Schedule New Report. The Add New Report page appears.

13. Specify the Report details and select the custom report that you added from the Report Selection list to schedule the report.
