Description
Preconditions	UC-3.1 Administer Data Management Database (database policies have been implemented and database integrity is intact); and (as appropriate): UC-1.3 Generation of AIP; or, UC-4.2 Managing System Configuration; or, UC-6.1 Submission of Query
Trigger	UC-1.3 step 5 - Ingest>Generate AIP requests report from Generate Report on information required to assemble the AIP; or, UC-6.1 step(s?) - Request for report from Access>Co-ordinate Access Activities and/or request for Descriptive Information from Access>Generate DIP; or, UC-4.2 step (?) - Administration>Manage System Configuration
Successful outcome	A report containing the results of the requested query/queries is supplied to the requesting party.
Steps	Generate Report receives report request from Ingest>Generate AIP, Access>Co-ordinate Access Activities, Access>Generate DIP or Administration>Manage System Configuration (OAIS page 4-9, s 4.1.1.4) Generate Report executes queries (OAIS page 4-9, s 4.1.1.4) Generate Report formats query results into report (OAIS page 4-9, s 4.1.1.4) Generate Report transmits report to requester (OAIS page 4-9, s 4.1.1.4)

Documentation
Citations	OAIS page 4-9, s 4.1.1.4 "The Generate Report function receives a report request from Ingest, Access or Administration and executes any queries or other processes necessary to generate the report that it supplies to the requester. Typical reports might include summaries of archive holdings by category, or usage statistics for accesses to archive holdings. It may also receive a report request from Access and provides descriptive information for a specific AIP."

Notes
	re: step 1 -- Generate Report can receive requests for reports from Ingest>Generate AIP, Access>Co-ordinate Access Activities, Access>Generate DIP, and Administration>manage System Configuration. Do each of the requesters need to be distinguished in the use case steps? It seems if the request includes the information required as well as the reporting format it is to be assembled into, that the response can (and should)be independant from the requesting party.
