Click
the Run
Script button an
enter the name of the script you want to run against the results of the
batch report. For example, if you create a batch report for stalest files,
you can indicate a script that executes a program to archive all the files
that appear in that report.
When a script is run, the Server looks in its local \scripts directory.
If the Server can resolve that script name, it loads that script and sends
it to the Agent where you designated the script to be run. If the script
already exists in the Agent's \scripts directory, the Agent will ignore
the script sent by the Server and just run its local version.

the Output

report creator
