Crystal Enterprise SCHEDULE help

[Crystalboy1]

HI all,

i got some 200 reports. All published in crystal enterprise. Some of them are really heavy reports, and usually keep the database server extremly busy while running. Sometime we need to run 4 different instances of the same heavy reports for different paramenters dates. which really kills the database.

Is it possible in any Version of crystal Enterprise or crytal server that i force the report to run midnite whenever its triggered. Means it will be schedule to on demand but will not run until midnite.

im simple words, if i trigger the report at any day anytime, it should only run at 1am midnite. Remember i want this process to be set up for users, so whenever they trigger it, it should not run until midnite.

thanks.

Hi,
(You should really post this in the Business Objects:Crysdtal Enterprise forum here, but):

I do not believe that any BOE process can do that, but try, maybe, combining a Windows scheduled job that creates a file on some monitored location and have BOE look for that file using an event based trigger to run the report(s).

Any of the third party schedulers including my cViewSERVER and cViewMANAGER products should be able to do this.
