Configuration

General

The basic settings for the Server Extension are specified in the General tab.

Signature certificate

• Signature certificates can be created with Adobe Acrobat. Instructions: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/digital-ids.html

Signature key

Runtimes

• Connection to the TwinCAT Reporting Server with a basic configuration for the report frame.

Chunk size

• Size of a chunk package when downloading a report.

Reports

• Content of the report to be created.

Overwrite reports

• Only one report exists at a time. The old file is overwritten when a new one is created.

Export path

• Path to the generated reports. Standard: Extension directory (TcHmiReporting\reports). If a path is entered here, the created files are stored at the specified location. If the path does not yet exist, it is created during the creation process.

Report generation timeout

• Specifies the maximum waiting time until the report is generated.

Removing the remote file (extended view)

• Specifies whether the data saved in reporting is deleted after copying. If this option is false, the reports are saved in the Reporting folder and in the Server folder. This results in higher memory consumption.

User-defined configuration

In the User-defined configuration tab, you can create a report or upload a CSS file.

Reports

• Selection of the runtime on which a report is to be created.

Upload CSS / JavaScript

• Upload a user-defined CSS / JavaScript file for integration into the report file.

Report generation

• Selection of the report to be created. The created report can then be downloaded.

Reports in progress (only if generation is active)

• Displays all reports requested at the moment in a list. Once a creation process has been completed, the GUID disappears again. As soon as there are no more entries, this grouping is hidden.

Last report

• Displays the last HTML file created (if activated). The HTML file is taken from the path (TcHmiReporting\reports) if no other path has been specified under Export path. If no HTML file is available, you will see the error message that no file was found. If the path is not found, this is also displayed as an error message. When a report is created for the first time, it is created.
