Are you allowed to have include files in your reportcaster schedules?

I noticed when I scheduled a procedure that called in for an include file, I recieved the following error in the log:

"THE FOCEXEC PROCEDURE CANNOT BE FOUND: ADMIN_CHECK24DB.FEX"

The schedules still run as normal but are logged as "error" in the "last job status" column.

Background: The reason we have this include file is to prevent reportcaster from sending a report with missing data if our reporting database has not been updated for the current day. The include file grabs the latest datetime from a particular table and compares it to today's date at 4AM to check if it is later than. If no date exists, then it exits the procedure, else the procedure is executed and sent as normal.

Joey,

Look at using a preprocess to check the date/time and then set &KILLRPC to Y.

There are a few examples on the forum, just search on "killrpc".

Thanks Tony. The preprocessing task looks like the way we will have to go.

Unfortunately, we will have to update hundreds of reportcaster schedules. We had already added the include statement to many headers of our procedures and were close to promoting.

Does anyone know if there is a special location where include files must be place for reportcaster? It seems possible since Include files work in Dev studio - MRE and App Folders.

Lori Pieper with IBI just informed me all we need to do is add the "app_folder" name before the procedure name if want to use the include file method.

Thank you. Good One
