An Execution Id is a valid user ID that is used to connect to
the Reporting Server, FTP server or web server to run a schedule
task. When an Execution Id is created, changed, or deleted on a
server, it must also be created, changed, or deleted in the Repository
table that stores Execution Id credentials. Similarly, when the
password for an Execution Id is changed on the server, the password
for that Execution Id must also be changed in the Repository tables.
Exceptions are when Execution credentials are Trusted.
To view a list of Execution Ids in the ReportCaster Development
interface, click the Execution Ids tab. The
following image displays the list of Execution Ids.
From this tab, you can:
- Create a new Execution
Id.
- Open an existing
Execution Id to view its properties.
- Delete an Execution
Id.
- Refresh the list
of Execution Ids.
Note: When you create, change, or delete an Execution
Id, the Repository tables are updated so that they are synchronized
with the specified server. However, the credentials of the user
ID on the server itself remain unchanged.

Id or select the Execution Id folder to be able to select the user
from within the Execution Id Editor.

On the toolbar
of the Execution Ids tab, click New.
The Execution Id Editor opens. The following
image shows the Execution Id Editor opened when the Execution Id
folder in the tree has been selected.

from the drop-down list. Selections are WebFOCUS Server, FTP, or WEB.

drop-down list, enter or select the name of a Reporting Server with
which the credentials will be associated or enter the FTP or web
server name.
Note: The Reporting Servers are defined in the ReportCaster configuration.
-
Password. Type the password for the
user ID. Note that you are not creating this password on the specified
server; you are entering the existing password into the Repository
table that stores Execution Id information.

Click OK to
create the Execution Id in the Repository table or click Cancel to
cancel the request.

Procedure: How to Change an Execution Id Password
To
change an Execution Id password:
-
From the
list of Execution Ids, select the Execution Id whose properties
you want to change (for example, admin). This activates the Open
option.
-
In the right
pane, double-click on the Execution Id or click Open.
The Execution Id Editor opens, as shown in
the following image.
-
Specify
the following information:
-
Password. Enter the password for the
Execution Id. This password must match the current password for
this user ID on the server that appears in the Server Name field.
-
Confirm Password. Reenter the password.
Changing the password using ReportCaster
does not change the password on the specified server.
-
Click OK to
change the Execution Id or password values in the Repository tables.
A message appears confirming that the values have been changed.
x
Procedure: How to Delete an Execution Id
To
delete an Execution Id:
-
Select the
Execution Id you want to delete.
-
Click Delete.
A message appears asking for confirmation to delete the selected
Execution Id.
-
Click OK.
After the Execution Id is deleted, a scheduled job that requires
this Execution Id on the specified server will not run unless the
schedule is modified to use a valid Execution Id. If you modify
the Execution credentials for a single schedule that specifies the
deleted Execution Id, ReportCaster makes this modification for all
schedules that specify the deleted Execution Id.
