I don't think that's doable... But you can grobally update the owner which will transfer the jobs to the new user/admin.

Thanks,
Sayed

Seems to me that if you have the adapters, you can use TABLE or SQL SELECT to read them from one RC Repository to use MODIFY or SQL INSERT to load them into another repository.

they're all assigned funky IDs (TaskID, PacketID, SchedID etc). It will probably not like copying them around.

Personally, I'd reassign the owner of the intended jobs to the intended user. I've done this before (on a small scale) with no negative effect.

Look at page 100 of this document:
http://documentation.informati...p/wf71_migration.pdf

Once it creates the XML files in the temp directory, you could try editing them with a text editor and make changes if you need to but be very careful. If you want to change the owner, I would do a single search and then replace rather than a global search/replace.

I wouldn't recommend using MODIFY or SQL INSERT as there are multiple tables associated with each schedule. If you don't have them all aligned correctly, you'll not have a useable schedule. The best thing is to extract the schedules and then modify the XML that is output. Then you can use rcload to load the records.

I work with Dana and we need to copy the existing schedules for year end report parameters. We only have one RC user that has all of the reports and schedules. We will probably have two accounting periods open so we want to keep all of the parameters the same for one period.

That's one reason for the request for help. The other is that we are constantly changing the report tasks (adding, deleting, etc.) and I would prefer that we have a user that we can call backup that has the copy if last month's tasks and parameters.

The problem with wanting to have the same schedules but possibly under a different owner is that the schedule ID, the 12 character identifier that starts with 'S', would be duplicated and that may cause problems. Have you run this by IBI?

I know I had a New Feature request for this few years ago with IBI. I guess not enough clients requested this for IBI to add it to the new version.

Thanks,
Sayed

We have schedules that we like multiple people to be able to see/maintain and also a few that we want to preserve as the origional run.

We do several things depending on the situation.
Use CLONE to copy the schedules we then have one that is a backup and one they can change. Since the owner of the schedule is the only one that can see the schedules the owner knows the cloned one is the backup/origional. We also set up some generic owner id's so that 2 people can use this id without compramising the security on their "real" id. The reports are owned but the generic id.

Not sure if any of this helps but tossing some ideas out there.

I think we will run with the CLONE idea for now.

Schedules are in SQL tables that store and the scheduling information. Just load the old into the new. BOTSCHED etc. You can find where your tables are store in the ReportCaster Server Configuration
