Scheduling a weekly report

When you schedule a weekly report, your report will be run on a weekly basis. You can also schedule a report with events. For more information on events, see Scheduling a report with events.

To schedule a weekly report

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 Weekly option.

   The page refreshes.

   

4. In the Run list, select from the following:
   • Every week on

     When you select this option, the report will be run once a week, on the day that you select from the days of the week check boxes. You also specify a start date in the Start Date area and an optional end date for the report in the End Date area. To select a date, you can either enter a date in the date field, or click the Popup Calendar button to select a date from the calendar that appears in a separate window.

   • Weekly, with events

     Choose this option to use the event or events that you have already defined. When you select this option, the report will be run once a week (along with events), on the day that you select from the days of the week check boxes. You also specify a start date in the Start Date area and an optional end date for the report in the End Date area. To select a date, you can either enter a date in the date field, or click the Popup Calendar button to select a date from the calendar that appears in a separate window.

5. Regardless of which option you select from the Run list, 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.

6. Click Schedule to schedule the report; click Update to update the schedule information.
