We have a report which is capable generating a EXL2K compound report.

However, the users are now wanting to burst the report. We believe that is causing the development server no good.

Is there a way around the **Bursting is not supported with Excel Compound Reports** rule?

Or, is there a system variable or a key we can use to tell if a report is to be burst? We can combine that with &WFFMT and a &SCHEDUAL we've set up to make our own decisions from there.

Any other good,relevant advice is welcome and always, always appreciated. Thanks up front.

PScott,

A while ago I posted this on the forum Bursting a compund excel report I have never seen away to do this directly within report caster (but the last time I tried was in 7.6.7) Essentially it revolves around using the ETL tool to update the schedule times and mimic a bursting of a report.

I hope this helps.

Eric provided an opportunity using ETL. Thank you Eric.

and I was able to chase down the &variable I needed to head-off people from requesting the combination of EXL2K-Compound-Burst.
