Report Triggers

 Report Triggers

The "Report Triggers" are useful when the user is trying to call an external process as a part of report execution, for example, calling a web service hosted on a remote cloud application or calling a database procedure or calling a custom Java class to do some operation. The trigger login is written in XML format and pasted either in "Before Report Trigger Code" or  "After Report Trigger Code". Sample XML codes are given below.

•When the user clicks on the trigger icon, it launches a screen to provide trigger inputs.

•The trigger functionality has the below options.

          °Before the report trigger code -> To execute the XML logic before the report is run.

          °After the report trigger code -> To execute the XML logic after the report is run.

•Firing the trigger before or after are just 2 radio buttons to select and send required information.
