Hello,

I am new to report caster API.

Is there a way to add new Distribution to report caster? I want all my reports to be saved into my content management system. Is there a way to setup a java callback when report caster runs the report?

Thanks

Shailesh

The report caster API is strickly used for interacting with RC pre-existing functions. Treat RC like a black box. You will not be able to implement a callback or listen for internal events. There should be a couple of ways to do what you want without having to even use the RCAPI.

Does your CMS have its own file system listeners? Email listeners?

If not, something I've done in the past is have RC email the scheduled content to an iWay Email Listener that was configured to extract the document and place into a third party DMS, using rules that were sent as part of the email message body.

In your case it should be easier to have RC FTP the report to the file system and have your CMS pick it up from there.

Thanks dhagen,

I have FTP site which I works form command line. Where in the RC GUI I need to type in port for this FTP site? It doesn't use standard FTP port. I tried 'hostnameort' & 'hostanme port', but I always 550 error back. Also, how I can specify FTP directory name if directory name has space in it? What is disctribution file in this context? How I can specify one? Any suggestions?

Open a case with the Help Desk to see what can be done.

Create a virtual directory name without spaces.

Read the documentation, it is in there somewhere.
