Hi,

A Simple question, while Sending a report thru Broadcast Agent what is the conceptual difference between “Distribute via Web Server” and “Distribute via the Server File System”

TIA,
Sagar.

Distribute via web server allows you to put the document(s) in a place that can be accessed via the internet via web site e.t.c.
Disribute via server file system allows you to specify a network share or folder on your companies network where the report can be accessed.

Distribute via Web Server will do an Export As HTML and place the files in the specified location - usually a directory that accessible by a web server, so the pages are viewable by others.

Distribute via the File System just saves a copy of the .rep file in the specified location.
