=Olsen ==A simple reporter.
===Overview Olsen is a framework that wraps the Sadie gem and provides a facility for producing reports which make use of data managed in a Sadie-style primer chassis.
===Usage
- create/choose a directory to put the olsen framework in (or use /var/olsen, the default...ensure writable)
- call olsen -init [ -framework-dir /my/dir ]
- define jobs in jobs folder and filters, outputs, and inbound data primers in primers folder
- call olsen -process
- find output product in output folder
- Rejoice!
===Formats ====Job files These should be suffixed with a '.job' and they should be in the jobs folder.
=====Example
[output]
o1=<filename in the outputs folder>
o2=<another one>
...
oN=<and another>
====PDF INI files These should go in outputs and end in '.pdf.ini'
=====Example
[pdf]
type = latexmk #only type supported for now is latexmk
[latexmk]
path_to_latexmk = /usr/bin/latexmk #optional, defaults to /usr/bin/latexmk
template = output.outputtest_pdf.tex #should point to a .tex.erb file in the outputs directory
===Todo
- enable a 'olsen -init -with-examples' that will create a functioning olsen framework with example ini files, sqlite databases and queries, pdf outputs, formatting filters, etc.
