Scheduling on demand

When you select the schedule "On Demand" option, a report instance runs only when users schedule a report through their web application (ePortfolio or a custom web application). For more information on ePortfolio, see the Crystal Enterprise ePortfolio User's Guide.

To set a report to be scheduled on demand

1. In the Objects management area of the CMC, select a report object by clicking its link.
2. Click the Schedule tab.

   The Schedule tab appears.

3. Select the On Demand option.

   

4. Complete the following fields:
   • Number of retries allowed

     This number indicates the number of times a job server will attempt to process a report if the first attempt is not successful. By default, the number is zero.

   • Retry interval in seconds

     Crystal Enterprise will wait for the specified number of seconds to pass before attempting to process a report again (if the first attempt failed). The default setting is 1800 seconds.

5. Click Update.
