Extended Reports for Scripts

They contain the entire script of the task. This comprises the contents of Include object (header, trailer, user-defined Includes, etc.), as well as the pre-script and post-script. The comments line, however, are not logged.

For example:

Each segment of the extended report is a block with a beginning and an end line marked with four asteriscs. The first line contains information, for example the creation date of an Include or the client from which the Include is used.

Creating extended reports can be suppressed per script statement for part of the script. All script lines between :EXT_REPORT_OFF and :EXT_REPORT_ON are not logged. This also affects the contents of Includes, which are called in the suppressed script lines. A comment line is created stating the number of suppressed script lines.

For Includes called via the :INCLUDE script statement the creation of extended reports can also be suppressed with the EXT_REPORT_OFF parameter. The contents of the Include is not logged. A comment will be output in the extended report.
