report Posting notification

I have a user who is looking to be automatically notified when other users save reports to a particular group of public folders\sub folders. Any ideas on how I can accomplish this? :?:

Here are you talking of New Report/Existing Reports
You can capture these details by using Auditing Universe, create a report which can capture
User Name, User Group,Document Name, Location
Schedule a report on daily basis to person who is looking for that in specified format.
If you are looking for notification as soon as action happens then you might look into SDK with writing some custom code in programming languages

Thank you. I was trying to do this report using the auditing universe but found that there was no date parameter to be able to say show me only reports added to this folder in the past 1 day. Also, I couldn’t find the appropriate action to use as well such as Report Created and Saved out to folder. Any advice on that?

Get User Name from Actions
Actions YYYY-MM-DD & Action Am/PM from Action time
Document Name from Document
Get all this in a report with Query filter as under
Action Name inlist " Save Document to Repository" & “Report is created”

If your document name combination not working then create an object in Action class and it will work

Give it a TRY and it will help you

I created a new document as a test and saved it to the public folder. It does not come through with the action of Report is Created. I don’t get any data back for that one action. Thoughts?

Can you please confirm me which steps you have done and either you are able to see those LOVs coming in Report creation. Dont mention conclusion ,mention it step by step which can help to understand where there is a flaw

Get User Name from Actions - Completed with success
Actions YYYY-MM-DD & Action Am/PM from Action time - Completed with success
Document Name from Document - completed with success

Query filters include:
Action Name in list “Save Document to Repository” & “Report is created” Completed. I see the values for the Action name but if I look at the data that is returned none of the reports have an Action Name of Report is Created. I would just like to understand exactly where that action is derived at so that I can try to fix it.

Thanks.

I have seen this “Report is Created” information earlier. But as of now even i am not able to get those details.
I have gone through the Auditing information of SERVERS as well and identified that in AUDITING there is no option to capture “Report is Created” for Web Intelligence document. Not sure either BO has not mentioned this information in Auditing or there is any BUG.

Not sure how this weird things can happen. Really surprising !!

So my best bet is to use the Save Document to Repository Action Type to determine what has recently been added or modified in the given folder?


spaket (BOB member since 2008-02-28)

Yup, that might help you to trace report changes done

Any ideas on how I can exclude scheduled instances from being included in the report? Because for a scheduled document it gets the following Actions: Get Page, Document Refresh and Save Document to Repository therefore giving incorrect results when I want to see new documents that have been saved to the repository.
