I'm fairly new to Report Caster. Is it posible to
ftp and email the same report after it runs when scheduled in Report Caster? The only way I can figure out is to set up two separate jobs where one emails the report and one ftp's the report. This way I have to run the report twice.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim

FYI,

Currently, it is not possible to schedule both FTP and email of a report in one job using ReportCaster. The report should be run two times: once for email; and the other for FTP.

Another option would be to open a case with Information Builders' Technical Support Hotline and submit a New Feature Request (NFR). The phone is 1-800-736-6130, or access the online system InfoResponse.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Kerry

sure,
the way we do it is within the fex
i write code to post a file to an ftp site
the code takes a file made within the agent and writes the code within the agent, and executes that PUT code from within the agent.
then...the fex continues to produce its ordinary html output and for the email
Usually like this:
...
ON TABLE HOLD AS MYTAB FORMAT HTML
...
END
..
then i use the ftp code to PUT that MYTAB to the ftp site.
...
then i prepare the output for caster to email
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
!IBI.FIL.MYTAB;
-HTMLFORM END
done...all in one fex
if you need help with writing the PUT code, holler.
NOTE: the output type for the CASTER schedule is HTML ....forget FTP
