This report generates an XML file to be imported into the enterprise resource management software Clarity(R) from Computer Associates(R). The files contains allocation curves for the specified resources. All tasks with identical user defined attributes `ClarityPID` and `ClarityPNAME` are bundled into a Clarity project. The resulting XML file can be imported into Clarity with the xog-in tool.

Syntax | `nikureport <file name> <STRING> { <attributes> }`
Arguments | file name | The name of the time sheet report file to generate. It must end with a .tji extension, or use . to use the standard output channel.
