Generating Reports

A report can be generated in the following ways:

• Requested by a user or application
• Generated automatically by Report Writer according to a user-defined schedule

For a report to be generated on request, you must pass the report name and the printer destination to the generator.

For a report to be automatically generated, you must define a schedule that Report Writer uses to determine which report is required and when and where it is to be generated.
