Name of the job, job sequence, or shared container that you want to generate a report for. The report is generated in HTML format.

/R

Flag indicating that you want to generate a report.

report_pathname

Subdirectory where the report is written to. This subdirectory is named after the job. If you do not specify a directory, the report is written to a subdirectory in the client directory. For example, C:\IBM\InformationServer\Clients\Classic\myjob.

stylesheet_pathname

Path name that indicates an alternate XSLT stylesheet. If you do not specify a stylesheet, the default stylesheet is used.

/RX

If you do not use the /AF option and you want to run the command without any user interaction, you must supply all of the connection details on the command line. If all of the connection details are not supplied on the command line, the Logon dialog is displayed. The Logon dialog is pre-filled with the values from the command line. Any missing values are pre-filled with the values from your most recent successful connection, except for the Password field which you must supply. The password is not displayed as you type in the Logon dialog.
