Reports for Scheduled Processing
Overview
"Scheduled processing", also referred to as "batch processing", means
carrying out tasks on your reports at specified times or intervals. For
example, you can use scheduled processing to refresh the data in a report
at the same time every night. Scheduled processing thus allows you and
your organization to work on reports while you are away from your
computer, which saves you time. It also allows you to work at off peak
times, which reduces traffic on the network.
The
Report Scheduler
module is responsible for the scheduled processing
of documents. You submit a document by sending it to Report Scheduler,
which can perform the following tasks:
–
Refresh one, some, or all of the data providers in the document.
–
Print the reports in the document.
–
Send the processed document back to yourself and to other users or
groups of users.
–
Save a copy of the document in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML),
then post the document on your worldwide web server. Currently only
supported with Explorer 5.01 or higher.
Once you have specified the tasks you want Report Scheduler to perform,
you can schedule them. You can carry out the tasks once at a specified
time, or repeatedly at the same time every day, week, or month.
