[SOLVED] Reporter Caster scheduling for a specific status before creating a report

Hi,

I am using Report Caster & Dev Studio 7.6.11. I have a working report that I'd like to make smarter. The focexec is only expected to produce a monthly report. My issue is that the report can only be generated when the records are in a certain status. I currently have to run this report for a week to poll for the status until it's update. If the records aren't in the status I'm looking for...then a No data report is sent to the end user. What I'd like to do is use Report Caster advanced feature and shedule my report to run for a week, but only sent the end users a report when the status is correct and then reset RC automatically for thenext month run time. Can this be done? Thank you in advance

Have a look at the KILL_RPC flag
quote:
When &&KILL_RPC is set to Y to stop the execution of a scheduled job, the default behavior is to set the NEXTRUNTIME interval to the next run time value of the schedule stored in the ReportCaster Repository


Here's an example of it in use from a tips and techniques article


WF: WebFocus 7.7.03
Data: Oracle, MSSQL, DB2
OS: Windows
Output: HTML/AHTML,PDF,EXL2K FORMULA, COMT

Thanks nd for the tips and trick article. I'm going to see if I can get this to work for my report some how. The KILL RPC flag seems like a great option for delaying RC. Thanks again!
