Processing Batched Reports
When reports are batched (see Managing Reports), they go to a `holding area' until they are released. This activity releases these reports.
To process batched reports:
2. From the Administration page, select
Activity Parameters from the Activities section on the left hand side of the page;
3. From the Activity Parameters page, select
Process Batched Reports from the activities list;
4. Enter or select the
Batched Report Directory from the Directory Listing on the right;
This directory is the UNC path name in the form of
\\server-name\share-name\ followed by "
reports\batched\".
5. Enter the
Batched Report Filename template;
The template is in the form
pmyyyymmddhhmissbbbb which comprises:
·
pm - An acronym for ProMaster
6. Enter the
Delete Batch Reports if older than (in Days);
Note: Batch report deletion is carried out only when the activity is run.
The other available buttons on the Activity Parameters page:
·
Stop - Rolls back whatever the activity processed up to the point the button was depressed. Useful in the case of unintentionally running an activity.
·
Disable - Disables an activity. One way it can be used is to prevent the running of activities that are only used occasionally, thus preventing unintentional activation.
·
Reset - Resets the
Status of a "
Disabled" activity.
·
View Log - Brings up the most recent activity log for an activity.
To view any other activity log related to an activity, see
Activity Log.
·
Running Details - Allows you to view the activity log being generated in real-time. Useful when checking on an activity that is taking an unusually long time to complete.
·
Refresh - Refreshes the
Status column of the list of activities.
