Bursting to Report Library with target location
We currently have RC jobs that burst (by city) reports to ftp location. Our plan is to use Report Library feature where we can burst the report to Target folders.

Currently - We run report from

MRE\Domain_A\Folder_A\Report.fex

The report caster job puts them as below

C:\Reports\Dallas\Report_Name
C:\Reports\Houston\Report_Name
C:\Reports\Albany\Report_Name
C:\Reports\Chicago\Report_Name
....



We Run to report library the same report

We get
Domain_A\Report_Name\Dallas\Version1
Domain_A\Report_Name\Houston\Version1
Domain_A\Report_Name\Albany\Version1
Domain_A\Report_Name\Chicago\Version1

We cannot use the report library method above...
We'd like Library to look like this

Domain_A\Dallas\Report_Name\Version1
Domain_A\Houston\Report_Name\Version1
Domain_A\Albany\Report_Name\Version1
Domain_A\RepChicago\Report_Name\Version1

Is this attainable?

Thanks,
Sayed

This is what I was given by IBI.

The Category class for the ReportCaster API may accomplish what you're looking to do. The Category class provides a means of categorizing, storing, and manipulating report library reports. In addition to Category, the other classes involved in the hierarchical organization of report library content are Content and Version. Category exists at the top of the hierarchy as the root (as the parent), followed by Content, and nested below that are the actual Versions.

Additional information about this can be found in the following document link:
