I saw a nice post the other day here about using a routine (via -INCLUDE) to write to a log file when a report is run. We're interested in doing that, but I'm not sure I can get there from here.
I have an InfoAssist report that I built and saved it as an InfoMini app for clients to use as a template or 'base' report. They can run it with various values in the slicers, or modify the contents and save the report in their own folder. I would like to add this -INCLUDED fex that writes to the log file, but I've hit a wall.
1. No -INCLUDES in Infoassist, so I thought I might create a reporting object instead.
2. Can't save an InfoMini from a Reporting Object.

Now what?

Mike,

Infomini, at this point does not support Reporting Objects. There was a New Feature request sent to programming but was turned down due to the complexity of getting this to work 'nicely' together.

You can ( as you know ) use Reporting Objects with InfoAssist.

If you have the ability then there are ways to have a "preprocess" set up via the Reporting Server in the Edasprof or even within the Master file (synonym) with MFD Profile procedure. Although each of these would have an affect on all user's reports unless you add security based on the user id.

IBI also has a product called Resource Analyzer that provides logging and reporting for all activity on the system.


Hope this helps you out.

Happy Holidays.
