I created a coordinated compound report using the CAR table that contains 2 reports and 1 graph. I setup the report to burst off country in RC. When I receive the PDF report, the tables are filtered properly off the country burst value, but the graph does not appear.

I have tried saving the graph as all these different formats with no sucess: PNG, GIF, HTML, JPEG, SVG. The graph only appears when I run the report straight from dev studio. In Reporcaster log I am seeing the following error:

  
Executing focexec. 
   0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN GRAPH= 18 PLOT POINTS= 5 
   0 HOLDING PDF FILE ON PC DISK ... 
   Task finished. 
   Retrieving distribution list from repository 
   JAPAN distributed to xxx

If I do not burst the report, but simply distribute the report normally (non-bursted), the graph and tables appear normally in the PDF attachment via email.

What additional thing must I do to my code for the graph to appear on a "bursted" schedule?

How to create a ReportCaster schedule to burst a multi-graph file procedure.

The bursting occurs fine, the emails get sent, the files are attached, but the
graph doesn't display in the attachments when opened. Instead, a separate PDF
with Graphs displays, one PDF per graph.
Solution:
To address this issue:

1. Create a Focexec that creates a report for a distribution, the burst value
will be the first major sort.

2. Create a Focexec that creates graphs for distribution, the burst value is
the secondary sort.

3. Create a Focexec that creates a combined report from the top 2 reports and
coordinate the two reports on the burst value.

4. Schedule the combined Focexec which is the coordinated report in
ReportCaster, use the primary sort field as the burst value and set up a
distribution list accordingly.

Praire,
In my case a separate PDF is not generated. The graph is simply missing from the pdf report. I do not have multi-graphs. I only have 1 graph to display.
