CM.OutputScript
The location and name of a shell script, such as a .bat or .sh file, that runs after a report output is saved to the target directory. The full file names of the output file and descriptor are passed to the script.

CM.OutputByBurstKey
When report output is distributed by bursting, it is assigned a burst key. Specify whether to store output in a subdirectory with the same name as the burst key.

Default: false (output not stored by burst key)
