Section 7.5 Generating Reports

A Rivendell report is a data output that details whether certain events aired as scheduled,

and under what circumstances. Reports are available in various formats. Some are

intended to be directly read by humans, while others are intended for use by other,

external software systems as a means of reconciling exported schedules.

Rivendell has the ability to filter the data that go into any particular report on the basis of

the type of material played (traffic spots, music or all), the playing service(s) and the

originating host(s). The configuration of reports is done in the RDAdmin module and is

covered in the Rivendell Technical and Administration Guide. Once configured however,

reports are actually generated by the RDLogManager module.

To generate a report, touch the Manage Reports button on the RDLogManager Main Menu

to open the Select Service dialog (see Illustration 56). The dialog will show each service

on the system, along with the date of the oldest data available for generating reports.

Touch the Generate Reports button to open the Select Report Dates dialog (see Illustration

57). The desired report can be selected with the Report: control, and the start and end

dates of the report specified with the Start Date: and End Date: controls, respectively

(NOTE: not all reports are capable of being generated so as to span more than one day).

Once the parameters are set, touch the Generate Report button to write out the report.

7.5.1 Purging Old Report Data

Rivendell keeps the raw data used to generate reports indefinitely, until manually purged

out of the system. Periodic purging of old data is a good idea from the standpoint of

minimizing the amount of system resources utilized, and can be done by selecting the
