Does anybody know the proper way to use the POST-PROCESSING Procedures option in ReportCaster. I have tried several naming conventions and nothing has worked. This is the error I get:

Task error: THE FOCEXEC PROCEDURE CANNOT BE FOUND: dsredtot

dsredtot is the name of the fex and it is located in the same folder as the primary task. Thanks!

Is dsredtot a WF Server procedure or a Standard Report in MRE? What does the dsredtot procedure do? Remember that post-processing procedures cannot send information back to the distribution server they can't contain report requests unless the have a HOLD or SAVE.

It is a Standard Report in MRE. It loads records to another database using the MODIFY FILE statement.

My understanding was that the post-processing procedures had to be server procedures. That would completely explain the error that you are seeing. However, I can't find any reference to that effect. Try putting app/fexname or domainname/app/fexname and see if that will work. If it doesn't, I'd say that they MUST be server procedures in the app path of the WF server. That the way all of my post-steps are set up.

Thank you Darin! Yes, the documentation that I have does not make that clear at all.

We will enhance the documentation to specify that Pre and Post Processing procedures must reside on the WebFOCUS Reporting Server.

Yes. When we say that they must reside on the server, that always means that they must be in the server's app path (or an app path as modifed by a profile)
