On the face of it it sounds like you could use a
fairly simple client-server architectural pattern, where your workstations
connect to the central reporter to deliver reports. Alternatively
your central reporter could collect the data from the workstations in a
'round-robin' style. You would also need to establish how your clients and
servers discover each other, e.g. are the clients configured with the details of
the server, or vice versa?

Subject: [patterns-discussion] pattern to apply to centralized reporting
To
all,
I have a software that runs on Windows, it has reporting built in, from a database. So customers buy this and install on their workstations. The problem is that each workstation can report on their own data only. I need to come up with an architecture for a central reporter to allow for a consolidated report of all these workstations aggregated data.
Anyone can tel where to go to learn about my options.
Thanks,
Reza
