[SOLVED] Save report to different server?
Hello,

does anyone know if it is possible to save a report to a different server (that is, different than the reporting server)? We have several servers here and I am trying to save the output of a fex directly to a different server without the usage of an intermediate program (such as FTP servers, DOS commando's, etc).

Help would be appreciated.

The only option is if you have a mapping to the server. Then you can use FILEDEF

How are you executing the procedure? If you are running it manually and want it to save somewhere else, you can manually save it there, or do as JG suggests using a network mapping to make the remote machine local to your WF Server machine, FILEDEF your HOLD file to that location, and ON TABLE HOLD.

If you have ReportCaster to execute the report on a scheduled basis, then RC can handle that job via an internal FTP process.

You're only other option is to use DOS commands or FTP, so take your pick. Your method of execution will prbably be a big factor.
