Set up a delay to generate reports with the ARG tool

As of now, this is not possible. If you'd like to see this functionality implemented, you can add product feedback on our RtReports feedback page.

What does delaying the report generation enable from a user perspective?

Here are two examples where it could cause a problem:

• We have a equipment which generates CSV files when a batch is closed. A report is generated, relating to these batches, and the Event Frame that generates this report is the directly related to the PI Tag of batch status (active - inactive). There is a delay between the automatic transfer of the CSV files and the operation of the UFL interface that acquires the data in the CSV files, so if the report is automatically generated when the batch is closed, the data of the CSV files may not have been acquired yet. Delaying the report generation by 1 hour would ensure that this situation never happens.
• If the result of an AF analysis is displayed in the report, and that the Analysis service is not working well during a certain amount of time during the Event Frame which is related to this report generation (ex.: big backfill of an AF analysis which causes some other analysis to be Pending) , and that when the EF is closed, this analysis is still pending and the report is automatically generated, the analysis result will not be displayed in the report. So delaying the report generation by 1 hour (or more, depending on the reliability of the Analysis service), would make it more robust against this case.
