Hi Sebastien,

When we try to schedule a report and if we give ‘Run Now’, the report will access database to get the data. Is this not refresh?
Considering this case, please let us know the exact difference between schedule and view on demand.

Thanks,
Solomon

If a user has granted a “View on Demand” rights on an report, then you will see the report title is changed to a hyperlink in Infoview. Clicking on the report name (or report title) is “View on Demand”. This runs the report instantaneously and you don’t care whether the report is saved as an instance or not. New pages are generated for viewing only, each click will hit the database at that particular time, remember it does not generate a historical instance in Infoview.

BO Enterprise has different server stacks and every server (or service) has a powerful feature attached to it… View on Demand servers are provided to quickly respond to user ad hoc requests and the pages created won’t be cached or saved.

In an environment very few users will be given View on Demand rights. All others will have Scheduled rights… to direct traffic to different services.

Scheduled Traffic:
Scheduled reports are processed by these services (mostly used over night ) :

Scheduled - Crystal Report - Crystal Reports Job Server
Scheduled - WebI Report - Web Intelligence Job Server
Scheduled - DeskI Report - DeskI Job Server

A instance will be created.

View on Demand Traffic:
View on Demand reports are processed by these servers (mostly used during the day and disabled during the night):

View on Demand - Crystal Report - Crystal Reports Page Server
View on Demand - WebI Report - Web Intelligence Report Server
View on Demand - DeskI Report - Desktop Intelligence Report Server

A instance will not be created.

Depending on the report viewer Report Application Server also comes into picture some times.

Hope that helps.
