Scheduling Tools

A ReportCaster schedule allows you to specify when to run a report, the format in which to create the output, and the method of distribution. You create a ReportCaster schedule with the Basic Scheduling tool or the Advanced Scheduling tool.

The ReportCaster Basic Scheduling tool provides you with the ability to create a schedule for a WebFOCUS procedure (FEX) from a tree folder.

The Advanced Scheduling tool has the same scheduling options as the Basic Scheduling tool. It provides you with the ability to create a schedule for a WebFOCUS Reporting Server procedure (FEX), a WebFOCUS Repository procedure (FEX), a file accessible to the Distribution Server, or a file from an FTP server. You can also create a schedule for a fully qualified URL to submit to a web or application server.

For full documentation on the scheduling tools, see the ReportCaster manual.
