I have setup a job to run in report caster and I have no need to notify anyone via email or distribute reports. My job creates a report in PDF format (on table hold as ccrrpt format pdf) and then executes a dos command to copy the pdf to another folder on another server. In report caster, on the tasks tab, I have tried pdf and html as the report format and I have given it a name in the save report as. On the distribution tab I have notification set to on error, sent to myself. When the job executes, I get an email stating "Schedule ID: S11tpcpa2901, Job Description: VRU_CREATE_CCR_REPORT Completed with errors/warnings No report to distribute." I look in the log in report caster and there are no errors in the log. I've looked at a message posted back in March of 2005 from Kacy, who wanted to do the same thing I am trying to do. I think I am doing the same things that were suggested by Susannah, but I must be missing something. Does anyone have any ideas ? I run report caster v5, MRE is v5.33. I enter report caster thru MRE. Thanks.
You are getting the standard warning message that's been there a long time if you run a fex in caster that only creates a file, etc with no report. I don't know as it is suppressable.

Is the pdf file being made properly? (you don't have to copy it out of the agent, you can just filedef it and it will go where it belongs..) If so, then just turn off notification altogether.. (like turning up the radio when the car is making funny noises.) Really, just turn notification to NEVER, and you'll be fine.

This was an upgrade issue for us. In 5.21 the "no report to distribute" did not generate an error log. When we upgraded, all of a sudden we were inundated with logs. We changed it our notify option to "never". Then I wrote my own "error log" that omits this error, and run it once a day as a separate Report Caster job for each report owner to find the real errors if they ever occur.
Thank you all for the suggestions. I can always count on your helpfulness. I was glad to hear that this was a known issue for a caster job with no report and not something I was doing. I decided to take the simplest way and set the notification to never. Thanks again.
