Requirements

The plugin must be placed in the \<instance>\plugin\ directory and runs on the Bravura Security Fabric server. See Writing plugins for general requirements.

Execution points

This plugin is executed whenever the user runs a report with graphs. The graph is rendered, and its resulting .png file is copied into the <instance>\reports\spool directory.

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.

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.
