WebI 3.1 Report Schedule

Hello Guys,

I need to schedule the report in WebI 3.1, User is asking for the below scenario,

Fiscal Year and the starting date will be 10/01/2017(Every Year) and ending date will be the every month “Thursday” on a biweekly basis. We are using derived table for this report.

Could some please help me how to approach this logic. I tried to find this in BOBJ forums but I couldn’t see.

Thank you.

So… every other Thursday?

Yes Joe.

Unfortunately there’s no out of the box “Every nth Day of the Week” recurrence pattern. You could use “Xth Day of Nth Week of the Month”, but I don’t think that will give you exactly what you want.

Your best bet would be to create a custom calendar. Here again you can select the First/Second/Third/Fourth Thursday in one shot, or manually click every individual day that the schedule should run on.
