Is there a way to create more than one report from the same hold file in Infoassist? It is possible in WebFOCUS, however I am having difficulty imitating this in InfoAssist.

I know how to create a report from a hold. I just need to be able to do this more than once.
Thank you.

We don't have InfoAssist here, so I don't know if you can do this, but as a coder, I would use FOCCACHE

Hello FernB.,

we are using holdfiles with infoassist,
we store the holdfiles as permanent holdfiles in the folder "user_files" instead of FOCCACHE.
At first we have created some reports they have only permanent holdfiles as output
and then some reports they are using this holdfiles, alone and also in combination with other masterfiles/holdfiles.

At last we have created a scheduled task with this bunch of reports,
that wouldn't work with holdfiles within FOCCACHE.

This scheduled task job combines all necessary jobs in the right order
and create the holdfiles and could also - if its necessary - include the jobs to create the reports.

FOCCACHE makes - from our experience - sence,
if you use in one report, which is creating a holdfile and create a report with this this holdfile,
but we have'nt tried to create more than one report in this case.
The disadvantage was, that infoassist, after using a holdfile, changed to the tree mode (in WF 8009).

Have a nice day

Bernd

Hi

In InfoAssist Document mode you can create a hold file (in temp directory) and then multiple TABLE and GRAPH requests based on this hold file (in the same page or several pages)

I figured out a way. After creating the hold files you need, create new HOLD with SQL format and create a new report. The new report is joined to the HOLD you just created. Now go to the Data tab then to the Data Source group. Click the Switch button drop down arrow and a list of all the HOLD files you have created will appear. Select the HOLD you wish to create report from and you report will now be joined only to the selected HOLD file. You can repeat this process to create multiple reports from the same original HOLD. If there is anything that needs more elaboration feel free to point it out.
