[CLOSED] Run a reportcaster job from fex file.
Hi,

I have a reportcaster job configured (This runs every month and reports are delivered to the users).

I need the same to be executed using a link in my report output. Basically users need to test an 'Email functionality'. When user click on the link, the reportcaster job has to run and report has to be delivered to that user. How is this possible? Is it possible to send a parameter also to the fex when I call the reportcaster job?

Thanks for your help!

Cyril,

There are plenty of examples throughout the Forum of using the RC API to achieve what you require.

Also, are you really in Rochester NY (the time of your post would be 11:18 local time)? If so you are burning the midnight oil and have moved from India.
