GenerateReportActionHandler
Description
This handler creates a process instance report and attaches it to the process instance. This allows it to be sent, for example, with the ATTACH-command in a mail node. Alternatively, the handler can save the report in the file system.
The path for saving the report and the file name can be given as process variables instead of as parameters: report_path and report_file_name From Version 3.7 on, the new instance report is issued. Prior to this, only the file name, the path, and the decision as to if the report should be attached to the instance are evaluated. The other variables do not have any effect.
