System Architect XT runs XML report template files against the repository and presents all information in real time.
The XML report template files provide two basic functions:
▪They use the System Architect XT reporting system to run SQL-like queries against the repository.
▪They provide output that is formatted based on XML and CSS stylesheets, and deploy SVG graphics for diagrams and other graphical presentations such as pie charts and bar charts. Multiple reports can be published to a single output page, enabling you to consolidate information presented.
Example
In the example below, two reports are run against a BPMN Process to display repository information: one is a generic report against the BPMN Process which gets its Description and Reference Documents, and then a second report that gets Applications that Support this Process is run. The second report is formatted differently than the first; both are displayed on the page. The page itself is a live view of the repository information.
