[SOLVED] Change Title of WFServlet.xls
Hi All,
Every time When we retreive an Excel output, then name of that Excel file is always WFServlet[1].xls, or either some name that starts with WFServlet appended with some random number(w.g. WFServlet456d1e4r2.xls) like this...
I have number of reports and
I want to change this name to some specfic name according to the report type (like CashAndShareReport.xls,)...
I have given some try, read manual, searched on the forum, but nothing helps.

Can anyone have any idea.....regarding this..?
Is this possible with programatically?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Yes it can be done.
I had the same problem.
Datawarehouse department fixed it.


Just use the normal 'AS'.

like:
ON TABLE PCHOLD AS MyOutput FORMAT EXL2K

but you -must- configure the webserver to allow this. ( change redirection settings )

check:
Changing Redirection Settings

Hope this helps...

Yes this is possible from 7.6.7 onwards.

I don't think this Save Report option is available in prior release.

For more understanding, refer Chapter-4(page-120) of this document

Hope this helps.
