Report

Introduction

The Report module provides facilities for running periodic background reports on a station.

ReportService

The ReportService provides a container for the components responsible for generating and routing reports. The process of generating a report is broken down into two components: BReportSource and BReportRecipient.

BReport Lifecycle

(ExportSource and EmailRecipient are concrete implementations for ReportSource and ReportRecipient, respectively.)

1. The generate action gets invoked on BReportSource. The action can be invoked manually or automatically via the built-in schedule property.
2. ReportSource creates a new BReport object which gets propagated to the ReportRecipient.
3. BReportRecipient handles routing the report to some destination.
