I have a xls template in server.
When i am generating a report, that xls template is used as master xls and new reports(xls with different name) are generated.

But if 2 Users simultaneously run the Report(One user's session is existing, and another user tries to run the report), will he get proper output ? Or the output file will be corrupted.

tks/sam

First, if you are truly using a template, it has to be a .mht file not .xls.

Second each user will get their own copy when the job runs.

Have you really tried or Jst...
I tried, and the solution is >>
When multiple user tries to read same master file (.mht), there will not be any issue (as it's only read).
But if your new report's (xls) name will be same in focus procedure and 2 user's tries to run in simultaneously, the file (xls) will be corrupted.

Hence the name of the report (xls), should be distinct (suffix with timestamp).
