Setup StreamServe reports for Operational Reports¶
The IFS StreamServe integration outputs a StreamServe-compatible formatted XML file which contains the result set data. The XML is formatted according to the transformation logic in the XSL layout that is used by the IFS StreamServe framework. The result set data to format is taken from the generated XML data when the report's RDF is executed. Follow the steps below to set up your StreamServe layouts.
- First, you need to register your StreamServe XSL layout. Navigate to Solution Manager > Reporting and Analysis > Operational Reporting > Report Definitions and get the detailed view of the report you need to register the layout to. Select "New Layout" to get the new layout details page and specify the necessary details. Make sure to specify the Layout Type as StreamServe.

Configure a SFTP sender in Solution Manager. Read more details on Configure the SFTP Transport Connector
-
To configure SFTP senders for reporting, define the system parameters as follows.
-
"Report Plug-in output sender name (FILE or SFTP sender)" - SFTP sender name configured in Solution Manager( ex: SFTP_SENDER1, SFTP_SENDER2)
-
"Report Plug-in output directory when using SFTP sender" - Directory path name on the SFTP server (should be specified in SFTP syntax) ex: /tmp/folder1, /OUT1 (This is the location where the transformed XML data file will be saved to, make sure that the user configured in SFTP sender has all necessary read and write permissions.)

Note
Only SFTP senders are supported for StreamServe layout output generation.
