This solution requires a little scripting.

You can probably create a report that lists all of your reports with times to be refreshed. Send this report to the Doc Agent on a frequent schedule along with a script that will cycle through the report to open, refresh, save, and close any reports that have a refresh time equal to or greater than the system clock.

Hi Listers,
Is anybody aware of a way we can send a bunch of documents(BO) to DAS together? And, I have all of them to be scheduled at different times! And I have as many as 100 reports…

Thanks,
Vinay.

Vinay,

What Kurt wants to probably say is…
You have to anyway post the reports in the DAS. Once you do that…also create another report with a script as the dataprovider ( using repository tables like ds_pending_jobs…etc) and post it to DAS to run it. The script would update the timing( schedule) of the other reports.

I dont know whether this can be done easily…but I think this is what Kurt meant.

No. That is not exactly what I meant.

You should create a table that contains the names of all of the reports needed to be scheduled with either a refresh indicator or refresh date/time value to refresh each report. Then you need a report from this that contains a list all of the reports and their refresh indicators. When you send this report to the Doc Agent to be refreshed on a regular schedule(let’s say hourly or daily), add a script that will look through the report and open/refresh reports depending on the refresh indicator or date/time value.

You can also have script to update the refresh indicator or reschedule the next refresh date/time value on the table.

That’s all I can think of . Good Luck.

Hi Vinay,
The B.O. 4.X CD had a really good VB example on it, but they took it off of version 5.0. Please email me offline if you would like it to be sent to you. Simon

If I can disagree with everyone here, I use Visual Basic to send all of my documents to the DAS. I found it to be so much simpler. Anyone who does not have the sample off of the VB 4.X CD can email me offline and I will send it to you along with my modified code.
Of course if this is a violation of contract or something then the BO folks can let me know now!
