Good Day,
I need help with scheduling historical report in symposium.
This is what I have gone through,
You can only export files to client PCs that are within the same domain as theapplication server. To output scheduled report files to a client PC, in the Output

box on the Report Properties window, type the path to the shared folder wherethe report will be output. The path must have the format \\[client PC computer

name]\[shared folder name]\[file name], without the file extension.

When you create the shared folder on the client PC where the application server can send the output file, you must map to this folder from the application server.

You must also grant write access privileges to this folder for Everyone.

When I went to SCCS and tried to MAP client's pc, I can not because of ELAN/CLAN.

Any suggestion or help is very much appreciated.

One more thing to add, we use SCCS and web client please..

Sorry for missing that part.

It's much simpler to output a scheduled report to a folder on the web server, then map to this drive from the clients PC.
 
Thank you so much Captaingadget, do you have step by step instructions .. please.? Much appreciated your help..

On the web server simply create a folder called reports or whatever you like. When you schedule a report this folder become the destination for the output. This ensures that the report will run since the server is active at all times. If the desitination folder is a users PC, if it is switched off or not available the report will fail.

On the users PC map a drive to the reports folder on the web server to re-connect on start up. When the user wants the report they simply go to the folder and fetch it.

You may need to adjust permissions on the server to allow read access to this folder from other PC's.
