This project is meant to be a platform agnostic way to bulk execute reports on the iHub Platform. If for instance you have one report named example.rptdesign which contains a customer name parameter, you would then like to schedule that report to execute once for a list of customers.

This project is in the early stages but the basic functionality works. To get this working, compile the project, deploy the war to your application container then make a GET request. In the current state of the project even if you don't want to set all of the following parameters, they are all still required to be defined.

		  String authId,              // Not implemented yet, required in GET
		  String username,            // Required
		  String password,            // Required
		  String volume,              // Required
		  String url,                 // Hostname of the iHub, required
		  String ihubuser,            // User to act as when executing the reports required
		  String ihubgroup,           // Not implemented yet, required
		  String burstcolumn,         // The column name of what we're going to bulk schedule on (E.g. customer name), required
		  String burstvalue,          // An array of values to loop through to bulk schedule the reports
		  String rptdesign,           // The report design to execute, required
		  String[] parameterNames,    // An array of any parameters defined in the report, these are parameter names only, required
		  String[] parameterValues,   // An array for the values matching the previous array definition. required
		  OutputType outputtype,      // The final report format, e.g. PDF, required
		  Strung outputfolder,        // The folder where the rendered reports are stored
		  boolean email,              // boolean value that determines if the user should be emails upon execution, required
		  boolean attachment          // boolean value that determines if the user should get the report as an attachment, required

Example useage

		  http://localhost:8080/customscheduler?authId=dummyValue&username=Administrator&password=&volume=Default+Volume&hostname=ihub311.centos7.vm&port=8000&ssl=false&burstcolumn=myname&burstvalues=Marseille%20Mini%20Autos,Havel%20%26%20Zbyszek%20Co,Signal%20Gift%20Stores&ihubuser=administrator,clarkk,connorjay&ihubgroup=1,2,3&rptdesign=/home/administrator/example.rptdesign&parameterNames=test&parameterValues=testvalue&outputtype=PDF&email=true,true&attachment=true,true

The above URL renders three PDF's. One for each value defined in the burstvalue array. The iHub users array is directly linked to this.

For example

		  Burst Value            |  iHub User     | Parameters      | Result
		  Marseille Mini Autos   | administrator  | test=testvalue  | example-Marseille Mini Autos.pdf
		  Havel & Zbyszek Co     | clarkk         | test=testvalue  | example-Havel & Zbyszek Co.pdf
		  Signal Gift Stores     | connorjay      | test=testvalue  | example-Signal Gift Stores.pdf

Notice the parameters are reused for each execution. This is because the burst value is being sent as a parameter to the report and is used as a parameter is the MySQL query. They correspond with the iHub user on each row as above.
