I've created a procedure that will dynamically generate distribution lists for several caster jobs. However, from the documentation I've seen, I don't have a definitive location as to where on the server this should be located.

Thanks in advance
Ken

Hi Ken,

You must code a WebFOCUS procedure (FOCEXEC) that is available to the path of the server defined in either the server profile (edasprof.prf) or the
user's profile.

For more information, please refer to the following topics in the ReportCaster Development and Administration Version 5 Release 3 manual (DN4500592.0904):


  • Distributing Scheduled Output Using E-mail on page 4-32


  • Distributing Scheduled Output Using FTP on page 4-43


  • Distributing Scheduled Output to a Printer on page 4-51


  • Distributing Scheduled Output to Managed Reporting on page 4-57


  • Distributing Scheduled Output to the Report Library on page 4-60


I hope this helps.

-Jennifer

Ken, page 4.35 for how to create
page 4.66 for how to delete
Reading 4.66 suggests that the place to park it when created is \ibi\reportcaster53\
and perhaps any directory therein that you might care to make. That's how it reads to me.

I'm confused.

I understand that I need to place the procedure out on the server.

I believe the source of my confusion is coming from the location of a pre-execution procedure I used to establish the path. This procedure, apppath.fex, is located in the ibi\srv52\wfs\catalog\ directory. Placing the new procedure in this directory does absolutely nothing for me.

However, when I do a 'Select Server Procedure' from within Reportcaster, I receive the message indicating that the process is "retrieving data from srvdev1".

Hence, am I to assume that I need to now put the procedure on srvdev1 and if so, is there a specific location where it should be stored?
