Is there a way to systematically expire/delete a libraried report?

Occassionally, a report which goes out to 1200 library folders will be incorrect..and needs to be re-generated.

We would like the ability to delete the report which was incorrect so the target audience does not see 2 versions of the report..one being incorrect.one being correct.

Any thoughts/considerations would be greatly appreciated.

Wm

I've not done this before. However, my understanding is that you're supposed to use RESTFul adapter for this type of stuff. Take a look at RESTFul Web Services Doc. There's a whole chapter on communicating with ReportCaster using RESTFul adapter.

thanks for your suggestion..and I was afraid it was something like this.

I believe it works like this:

1. invoke Webservice to get folders with the library'd report
2. invoke Webservice for each folder object to get the versions
3. invoke Webservice for each folder to expire the versions which need to be expired.

does that sound about right?

thanks
