Report to pre-defined request cancellation plugin

You can specify a plugin to allow the cancellation of requests generated from reports. This is useful, for example, where a request to resolve a rule conflict has been marked as "acceptable" in the past. In this case, the plugin would return an instruction to Bravura Security Fabric to not submit the request.

To configure this plugin, type the plugin’s full name in the REPORT TO PDR REQUEST CANCELLATION PLUGIN field on the Manage the system > Modules> Manage reports (RPT) page.

A sample plugin, report_to_pdr_request_cancellation_plugin.py , is shipped with Bravura Security Fabric in the samples\plugin\ directory.
