Schedule Report

[Danokim]

Does anyone know how to schedule a report so that it can be viewed later.&nbsp;&nbsp;For example, I want to run a shift summary report at midnight because it takes a long time, how can I set up a schedule so it will run at midnight so I can view it the next day?<br>What software can I use, (maybe Seagate Info?) and is there a way to do it through ASP?

I have done this with a compiled report.&nbsp;&nbsp;After you compile it run the .exe file that is created.&nbsp;&nbsp;It will give you the option of setting up to run at a later time.&nbsp;&nbsp;After setting up the time and day you want it to run click on 'Print'.&nbsp;&nbsp;This will minimize the window.&nbsp;&nbsp;Do Not close the window or click 'Done'.&nbsp;&nbsp;The report will not run.&nbsp;&nbsp;Hope this works for you. <p>LindaC<br><a href=mailto:lcastner@co.orange.ny.us>lcastner@co.orange.ny.us</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Thanks for the tip.&nbsp;&nbsp;What I'm really looking for is a way to call a report via the web, and schedule it to run later, without any input from an end user.<br>Thanks for any further help.

For what you want to accomplish, I believe Seagate Info is the tool to use here. This tool is all about scheduling reports to be used at a later time... You would be able to schedule your report to run at midnight, and then in the morning it would be waiting there for the end-user. This is able to be done within Seagate Info 7.0.

As for deploying reports via the web, 7.0 does come with this capability, but it is not as user-friendly as Seagate Enterprise Reporting. This is all about web reporting. Check out all the &quot;info&quot; at

Hope everything works out for you.

Dear LindaC,
Do you know how crystal v8 using the back engineered compile utility handles Parameters when using the schedualed feature.
