Sending reports to users

hi Friends,

I have a query wherein i need to send 50 individual Reports to 50 individual users at a specified time (i.e 12.00 midnight), how would i procede to acomplish this task.

Also, assuming all 50 reports are the same but only with a minor difference (i.e sales person name is different), rest all the columns in the report are the same.

How would i use BCA, to solve this

Any help will be highly appreciated.

If the content it’s always the same, you could refresh once, than deliver to all. You could use a variable and if BO login name is full user name, you could use BOUSER variable. Of course, your users should receive BO documents (and not pdf for example)

Thanx Alex…

Well, that can solve the Name problem, however since i am a newbie to BO, i am not sure as how to procede with the scheduling/publishing of Reports…

if you can provide some hindsight on it…would help…though i am currently working on it.

The Scheduling and Publishing is done with the Broadcast Agent (BCA). It is a server-based component that should be able to do what you want.
