[SOLVED] Reportcaster schedule information
Is there some way I can locate when a schedule in reportcaster was actually created? Not when it will be executed. Is there a search topic I can search for? Thank you, Ira

All ReportCaster information is stored in database tables.

Information about each table is in the ReportCaster Admin manual:

ReportCaster Development and Administration Version 5 Release 3

The section "Reference: FOCUS Repository Tables" describes the contents of each of the 12 tables.

The Masters are located either in the Drive:\ibi\srv53\wfs\catalog folder or somewhere in the app path, look for Masters beginning with "BOT". You can run this command "WHENCE BOTSCHED MASTER" to determine where the Master for BOTSCHED (and the others) is located.

In the BOTSCHED table, there are UPDATEDATE and UPDATETIME fields. I don't know what is in there but maybe that has what you need. It is a good question and one I've always wanted to know the answer to.

We use the web console to create synonyms for the RC tables if that helps.

Let us know what you find out.

WHENCE BOTSCHED MASTER

Francis, had actually checked out that manual earlier and saw all the 19 tables and their content description. Didn't see anything in there. Your 'whence' command was excellent. I now just need to figure out out how to table against each of these requests. But, first I will create new rc sked, notate the time, and see which field houses such info.
GinnyJ, I had seen those fields you mentioned and thought nah probably means each time is is run, but until I check I will never know - so off I go to look. Thank you both. When I have some findings I will report back...I thought botlog or botsched would be the 2 most likely candidates... Thanks, Ira

Ginny, Francis - after doing some extensive checking, and then conferring with ibi after - there is nothing that houes the creation date of a schedule within the 'bot' tables. Thank you for your assistance.

Sounds like an NFR to me. I've always wanted to know that information myself.
