cncopreporter - submit reports to cncop network

Overview

The reporting system employs a store and forward model of report submission. It collects all reports in a central location to ensure that important information was not lost in transit during periods when the network might not be available due to ISP or Utility outages.

Reports are read from the Spool/Messages folder in a prearranged order, and then submitted to the cncop network based on their filename prefix.

Order of submissions

Order	Prefix	Description	Submission method
1	JE-	Job exception	CncOp.Web.submit_jobresults
2	JS-	Job statistics	CncOp.Web.submit_jobresults
3	JF-	Job finished report	CncOp.Web.submit_jobresults
4	VIRUS-	Virus detection alerts	CncOp.Web.submit_virus_alerts

Note

To prevent the accumulation of invalid or partially created reports, cncopreporter will attempt to resubmit reports refused by the cncop network for up to five(5) days, after which it will expire (delete) them.
