Reports as a batch job

[Dubi123]

I would like to generate set of reports every day at specified time (Mon-Fri) and send generated reports to e-mail address. It can be .pdf attachment.

Most reports have prespecified parameters.
From time to time I would like to change parameters for some reports.

Reports are for 9ias 1.0.2.2.2a (Reports 6 or 6i, Windows 2000 Advanced Server).

Core of the problem is how to call reports as a batch job.
(Should I write a Form with run_report or so to do this and then call form?).



I know how to use utilities like bmail to send files to destination(s).

Any suggestions?

Kind regards

Dubi

Solved this. Use Reports Queue Manager at Internet Aplication Server 9ias 1.0.2.2.2.

One needs to click on particular icon in Reports Queue Mnanager (there are four or five there), otherwise if you submit job to queue, it is accepted but can't be seen in queu manager. (You get jobs submited, but queue manager area remains "empty").

Than just click one of several icons on top bar.
(it took some time before I have realized this, and
this also confused many people on Metalink, discussion
turned to bugs, TARs etc, but it was an icon.)
