What is it for?

AQ_Report is used for exporting a profile and storing it in a database.

The AQ_Report service can be used to export part of profile. The profile is exported as XML and is stored in a connection. The export contains all profile values, including system- and user-set values and the entities system  and user

One of the main use cases for this service is to export data using a data mapping from the main application module to a reporting module (both actually Interaction modules) and store this export in a database. An external system can pick up this export, for instance for a data warehouse. Best practices and design considerations with regard to the reporting and sharing of data with other systems can be found in this design guide.
