Can I send a Business Objects report in the body of an email (inline) rather than an attachment? I have researched this but have been unable to find an answer.
You can send a report in the body of an email using a Publication. Set the output format as “mHTML”, destination as “Email”, and the body of the email as “%SI_DOCUMENT_HTML_CONTENT%”.
It is my understanding that a Publication can only be associated to someone who is a Business Objects user or that has access to it. Is our understanding incorrect, if so, guidance appreciated. If it is correct, is there an alternative?
Unfortunately, the data we are trying to send is going outside our company to people who do not have Business Objects.

Because Publications are automated they don’t really work with prompts, which if you think about it are really a manual intervention in the running of a report. Welcome to B:bob:B!
So I have used the information shared in this post (Thanks!) and created a publication on WebI 4.0. I have selected mhtml as a format and added %SI_DOCUMENT_HTML_CONTENT% in the message. The publication works fine. Except that it only shows first 4 pages of the 5 page report. Is there any limitation of how many pages it can add to the body of the email?
