Report path options. How to change it dynamically?

Solved!

Hi,

 

Does anyone know what are the parameters in the '<>' in the picture below? Is there any chance to control it from the sequence? I found out them in property loader as well.

If you click on the Help button in the bottom left corner, it lists all of the tags and describes their purpose.  They are macros used for specifying common fields that you may want to have in a report path.  Most refer to something that is already defined so it wouldn't make sense to change them during sequence execution.  The exception is the UUTStatus, the UUT serial number, and Batch serial number.

Thanks for a quick answer.

 

Yes, after your advice some thing became more clear.

 

However,

what if I'd like to feed that information from sequence file (process model) anyway? Do you know to where I should load the output from the report path evaluation?

Have you tried using Sequence File Callbacks?  I have attached a couple of image files that show a basic example of how to change the report path programmatically.

I don't know have you tested it or not but on my computer there is no difference 😞

 

Despite the way of dooing seems to be correct my destination folder for the reports didn't change.

It seems to work fine on my PC. 

In Report Options do you have the Report File Pathname set to Specify Fixed Report File Path? If so, you will have to set "ReportFilePath"  instead of "Directory" in the ReportOptions container. 

Also, If you have selected Generate Report File Path, you may have to set File Name/Directory Options to "Specific Directory". 

 

I have included a screen shot of my Report Options.
