Exporting a report definition

Reports in Report Manager can be modified and configured. The modified report can be exported to a designated location for disaster recovery or to share with others. The complete report information obtained from the Get-ERReport cmdlet is required when performing the export. For more information, see Getting report information.

Syntax
Export-ERReportDefinition [-Report] <Report> [-Destination] <String>
Example 1

In this example, the Get-ERReport cmdlet places the report information for a report in the Report Library into the $rpt variable. Next, the report definition is exported to the c:\ drive. The exported definition contains the report name and the report Id: Domain Users_95ccdb73-b815-47d2-af98-bc359201b6cd.xrd.

$rpt = Get-ERReport "Report Library\Active Directory\Domain Users"
Export-ERReportDefinition $rpt -Destination c:\
Example 2

In this example, the Get-ERReport cmdlet places the report information for a report located in My Reports into the $rpt variable. Next, the report definition is exported to the c:\ drive. The exported definition contains the report name and the report Id: Domain Computer Information_e4067d44-b100-46e9-94da-8c3348584b50.xrd.

$rpt = Get-ERReport "My Reports\Domain Computer Information"
Export-ERReportDefinition $rpt -Destination c:\

Importing a report definition to a category

Reports in Report Manager can be modified and exported. The exported reports can later be imported into a new or existing category within the Enterprise Reporter report library.

Syntax

Import-ERReport [-ReportPath] <String> [[-TargetCategory] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Example 1

In this example, the report is imported to the default category My Reports.

Import-ERReport -ReportPath c:\Report.xrp

Example 2

In this example, the report is imported to a category named My Reports\Imported.

Export-ERReportDefinition c:\Report.xrd -TargetCategory "My Reports\Imported"

Generating a report with data

You can generate reports in either PDF or CSV format, with the CSV file as a comma delimited file. Reports can be useful as recordkeeping or for disaster recovery. The complete report information obtained from the Get-ERReport cmdlet is required when performing the export. For more information, see Getting report information.

Syntax
Invoke-ERReport [-Report] <Report> [-Type] <String> [-Destination] <String>
Example 1

In this example, the report information is placed into the $rpt variable with the cmdlet Get-ERReport. Next, the report in PDF format is written to the c:\ drive.

$rpt = Get-ERReport "Report Library\Active Directory\Domain Users"
Invoke-ERReport -Report $rpt -Type PDF -Destination c:\
Example 2

In this example, the information for the report located in My Reports is placed into the $rpt variable with the cmdlet Get-ERReport. Next, the report in PDF format is written to the c:\ drive.
