Our company has many scheduled jobs in Report Caster. We had a communication failure that prevented the jobs to be distributed.

Is it possible to create a .fex that identifies and executes RCaster jobs? Ideally, this would include methodology to allow the user to run a partial list of the entire population of available RCaster jobs.

Thanks, as always.

You can run this code to identify all RC jobs.....not so sure about kicking them off though....
-SET &ECHO=ALL;
-RUN

-MRNOEDIT -SET &D = EDIT(&YYMD.EVAL,'$$$$$$99')|'/'|EDIT(&YYMD.EVAL,'$$$$99$$')|'/'|EDIT(&YYMD.EVAL,'9999$$$$');
-MRNOEDIT -SET &T = CTRAN(8,'&TOD.EVAL',46,58,'A8');

-SET &F = '&RFORMAT.(HTML,PDF,EXL07).Report Format:.';
-*SET &RFORMAT = 'HTML';
-SET &MRE_Name = GETUSER('A8');

-*JOIN SKEDBOOK WITH BRIEFDISTLIST IN BOTSCHED TO ALL BOOKNAME IN BOTDEST AS J1_
JOIN PACKETID                                   IN BOTSCHED TO     PACKETID IN BOTTASK AS J2_

SET SQUEEZE=ON
SET ALL=ON
DEFINE FILE BOTSCHED
SKEDBOOK/A50V=SUBSTV(800, BRIEFDISTLIST, 1, 50, SKEDBOOK);
END

We do something similar to what Ian does - but it has a few more joins to pull in data like last execution time, status, types, etc...

Like Ian - we don't "execute" the jobs - we let the caster take care of that.

Yes nice one ! I did have something like that in WF77 but it didn't work in WF81.

The best and most efficient way to do this if you license WebFOCUS RESTful Web Services and the REST adapter.
I have all kinds of examples ready to go.
