How do I refresh a Standard Report in a Scheduled task in Report Caster? I've tried selecting the Standard Report in the Edit Task routine and clicking the Refresh button but, that didn't do anything.

I am trying to update and run a scheduled payroll report/procedure. New records show up when running the report/procedure in Developer Studio but when I run the same procedure in a scheduled task in Report Caster the new records don't display.

Open up the task and then save it.

ReportCaster runs the current version on disk of the specified focexec. There should be no reason to "refresh" or "resave" the task if the focexec name and location have not changed. If you have made changes to the focexec in Dev Studio, have you saved your work to disk? Is the focexec you are running from Dev Studio the exact same version (same name, same folder, same server, etc.) that is running under ReportCaster? Is ReportCaster running the focexec from the Production server, while you are running the focexec from the Test server?

I have saved my work to my Managed Reporting HR Reporting DEV folder in Dev Studio and I am pulling the same standard report(i.e. same name, same folder, same server, etc.) in Report Caster. We are using the 7.6.8 version of Dev Studio and Report Caster 7.6. These versions are still our originally purchased versions. We have not upgraded to any other versions. ReportCaster is running the focexec from the Production server. We don't have a Test Server.

Hi,

One reason this could be happening is because of the parameters that are being passed from the task in RC. Please check what values are being passed.


thanks

There are 3 parameters for each task that I have inserted in the Advanced Task Options:

1. CHARGE_DEPT
2. EndDate
3. StartDate

The EndDate and StartDate values are the same for all tasks. It is the CHARGE_DEPT value that varies for each task. It is a single value for each task as well.

The issue was that the date parameters weren't entered for all of the scheduled tasks and as a result, no data was yielded from those tasks. Thanks all of you anyway for your assistance. This issue is resolved
