As a Managed Reporting Analytical User with schedule capability, you can schedule Standard Reports or your own My Reports using the ReportCaster Scheduling Wizard. The ReportCaster Scheduling Wizard is accessed from:
- The Managed Reporting environment.
- A Web application independent of Managed Reporting.
- From the Business Intelligence Dashboard, if the Dashboard View is set to use the Scheduling Wizard as the scheduling tool.
To access the Scheduling Wizard from Managed Reporting, right-click a Standard Report or My Report and select Schedule from the drop-down menu, as shown in the following image.
Note: Reporting Objects that have the "Show as Standard Report" or "Show Only as Standard Report" property selected appear as Standard Reports. However, these Reporting Objects cannot be scheduled by ReportCaster.
To access the Scheduling Wizard from a Web application independent of Managed Reporting, use the following URL:
http://hostname[:port]/rcaster/enduser/rcScheduleForm.jsp?jspAction= CREATE_SCHEDULE&IBIB_taskobj=filename&IBIB_folderhref= folder_href&IBIB_domainhref=domain_href
where:
- hostname[:port]
Is the host name and optional port number (specified only if you are not using the default port number) of the Application Server where the ReportCaster Web application is deployed.
- rcaster
Is the site-customized context root for the ReportCaster Web application deployed on your Application Server. The default value is rcaster.
- filename
Is the file name of the Standard Report or My Report you are scheduling, for example, app/sales, shown in the following image. Within the URL, replace app/ with app%2f. Do not include the .fex extension. For example, specify this value as app%2fsales.
- folder_href
Is the HREF of the folder under which the procedure is stored, for example, #salesv0psudj, shown in the following image. Within the URL, replace the number sign (#) with %23 so that it appears as %23salesv0psudj.
- domain_href
Is the HREF of the domain under which the procedure is stored, for example, untitled/untitled.htm, shown in the following image. Within the URL, replace the forward slash (/) separator with %2f, and the .htm extension with %2ehtm. For example, specify this value as untitled%2funtitled%2ehtm.
Note: When you access the ReportCaster Scheduling Wizard in this manner, a valid MR_COOKIE value must be passed to ReportCaster for authentication purposes. Within the URL, special characters have been URL encoded (for example, a forward slash (/) is represented by %2f).
Using the sample values specified in our example, you would type the following URL to access the ReportCaster Scheduling Wizard independent of Managed Reporting:
http://hostname[:port]/rcaster/enduser/rcScheduleForm.jsp?jspAction= CREATE_SCHEDULE&IBIB_taskobj=app%2fsales&IBIB_folderhref= %23salesv0psudj&IBIB_domainhref=untitled%2funtitled%2ehtm
The following image shows the window that appears when you initially open the Scheduling Wizard.
