Schedule
a Report
Some reports have scheduling capabilities, allowing the user to schedule
a report to run at a pre-determined date and time. These reports will
have a Schedule button next to
the report title.
NOTE: The
Quartz job scheduling library is used to schedule reports.
It pulls all of the scheduled reports into memory when Tomcat
is started. If you edit a scheduled report, the changes are
not implemented until Tomcat is restarted. However, you can
immediately change the scheduling of a report by deleting
it and then rescheduling it. Otherwise, the edited report
schedule is not recognized until Tomcat restarts. |
