8- In the corresponding Value cell, type the file system location where you want to store report outputs.
9- If you want to specify a shell script, such as a .bat or .sh file, that will run after a report output is saved to the target directory, do the following:
Under Parameter , click in an empty cell and type
CM.OUTPUTSCRIPT
In the corresponding Value cell, type the location and the name of the script.
The full file names of the output file and descriptor are passed to the script. For example, c:\reportnet\146_1062107695000.pdf c:\reportnet\146_1062107695000_desc.xml.
10- Click OK.
Copies of saved report outputs are placed in the location specified. Old report versions are not deleted when a new one is saved. You must manage the content of the output directory to keep the report versions you want.

Hi,
Thanks a ton for the quick and valuable reply.
I have few queries.
1) In value cell of CM.OUTPUTLOCATION, do we need to put IP address or PC name,
How do we map a certain directory of the server?, any exaple will be of a great help.
2) You mentioned that this a global setting. So if I have enabled the save option of the report then report
will be saved in the mentioned directory of the serevr. otherwise it will only display the results on the screen (No saving of the report). Please correct me if I am wrong.
3) It would be very helpful if you have any example of setting the .SH file which will run after the reportoutput is generated.
I am new to this technology so please provide you advices and inputs.
Thanks in advance

1- Step8 inidicates that you enter a system path. It will write the file to the local file system of the ReportNet server.
2- All reports that would normally get written to the content store (PDF for example) will be written to the directory as well as displayed on screen. Otherwise, they will be displayed on the screen.
3- The batch file or sh file for UNIX is just if you want to run some external method to do something with the files.
