Scheduling a report with Callable exit
I have scheduled a report to run on daily basis. This report calls a callable exit. The report executes as scheduled but returns no data in the EXCEL sheet which is generated. I run the report thru a servlet with the same parameters and the report is generated successfully.
I think that in scheduling the report, the callable exit is not being called. How can I find out and debug the problem? I am new to the Report Caster and any help would be appreciated.

I believe that when Report Caster executes reports it communicates directly with the WebFOCUS Reporting Server and does not use the WebFOCUS wfs file. If you are running version 5.3 you can set echo to all and all echoing will be placed into the report caster logs. Another trick would be to use the -WRITE command and create you own log file.
