Report Caster - Scheduling Jobs
Is there a way to schedule a job to run the 5th business day of the month?

We are using WebFOCUS 7.6.1

As far as I remember the possibilities of scheduling has been increased with many options in version 7.6
But if the 5th BD is one of them??
You can however build that in the fex.
Just start the process every day from the 5th day of the month till the 10th day of the month and do the testing in the fex.

test: WF 7.6.10 on the same platform and databases,IE7

Just to add a note.

Write this as a separate fex. In the fex, if the date is not the 5th business day, then:
-SET &&KILL_RPC=Y;


Then in the schedule, run it as a preprocess fex. This will kill the rest job.
