Specifying Post-Processing Options

You can configure a script that can be called when a report completes. The post-processing scripting (command-line option) support provides a way to enter a single scripting expression in the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications interface. This enables typical post-generation steps—such as user ID replacement and customized formatting—to be directly invoked after the report has been produced.

Report post-processing options are available in the Output Properties screen of the report configuration wizard.

The last three settings on this screen (Report Output Directory, Output Directory Options, and Post-Processing Command) are relevant for post-processing functionality. The first two settings—Report Output Directory and Output Directory Options—deal with the configuration of the external copy of the generated report, and the Post-Processing Command setting is where you specify post-processing command-line parameters.
